    “He is indeed Senior Meng Tian!” said Chi Guyan. She knew that it was hard for one to believe as she felt the same as Yan Xiu and the rest.


    Sagely Battle God Meng Tian did not die.


    How unbelievable was that?


    “Meng Tian!”


    “He is the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian!”


    “Oh my goodness, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian is really not dead?!”


    “But why is he fleeing?”


    The disciples of the Human Alliance confirmed the real identity of the old man in front of them after hearing what Chi Guyan said. However, there was one thing they did not understand.


    Since he was the Sagely Battle God...


    Why did he flee?


    Fang Zhengzhi was slightly speechless. He felt that he should be the first person to flee. How could Meng Tian flee before him?


    For a moment, he could not understand what happened but he was intelligent enough to figure it out quickly.


    “Senior Meng Tian, hold on, I brought over a dragon, the number one Godly Beast of ancient times, the Five-wed Golden Dragon, he is very powerful!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted at Meng Tian.


    “Number one Godly Beast of ancient times, the Five-wed Golden Dragon?” Meng Tian stopped and looked behind. “Oh? He is indeed a golden dragon!”


    “Of course, a dragon versus the four beasts, he will definitely win. Now let’s just sit back and enjoy the show,” said Fang Zhengzhi confidently.


    He trusted the capability of the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five very well.


    After all, he was owned by Emperor Huang Xuanyuan.


    How could the number one Godly Beast of the ancient era be weak?


    He was on par with Nangong Mu who had the fruit of the Tree of God. Even though the four Godly Beasts of the ancient era had incredible titles, they were not very powerful after all.


    Fang Zhengzhi believed that in the scenario of one versus one, the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five could easily win one of the four ancient beasts. He should be at an advantage even he was fighting one against four.


    Moreover, the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five did not flee after seeing the four ancient beasts.


    This made him even more certain.


    “Right, Xuanyuan Five? ... Eh?” Fang Zhengzhi turned around to look at Xuanyuan Five but realized that he had disappeared.


    Uh!


    Where did he go?


    Fang Zhengzhi was about to speak before he realized that there was a beam of golden light zooming past at a distance away. It was extremely fast like a racing horse.


    “...”


    “...”


    Meng Tian, Fang Zhengzhi, as well as Ping Tang, Wu Yuer, Yan Xiu and the rest, stared at the golden light with their mouths agape.


    F*ck?!


    Xuanyuan Five, the number one Godly Beast of the ancient era, fled!


    “Xuanyuan Five, you traitor, where are you fleeing to!” As Qiong Qi spoke, he began to move. He squatted deeply before he leaped.


    The entire ground copsed.


    Boom!


    Then, the red radiance shone at a distance extremely far away. His leap was faster than the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five and he blocked the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.


    The other three beasts also moved.


    Each of them disappeared in a split second like a faint shadow and appeared at the position where the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five was. The four beasts surrounded the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.


    “Why do this? Both born of the same root, why torment each other so cruelly?” The expression of the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five changed immediately. The clouds surrounding him tumbled as he looked at the four beasts who surrounded him.


    “When old friends reunite, shouldn’t we spend some time to catch up?” Qiong Qi stepped on the ground with his front w and the ground split open. Beams of ghostly red radiance surged out from the ground and wound around his body, causing his red scales and fur to slowly turn clear.


    Meanwhile, as the ghostly radiance appeared, the expressions of the disciples of the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race who were “enjoying the show” changed gradually.


    Their expressions changed from one of astonishment to frustration.


    Each of their eyes started to turn blood-red and grievances could be felt in their eyes. They looked as if they were extremely emotionally-unstable.


    “It is the fury of hatred!” Chi Guyan was astonished when she saw this. She reactedpletely differently from her usual calm self.


    “Fury of hatred?” Fang Zhengzhi’s body shook.


    He knew a little about Qiong Qi. The book recorded that Qiong Qi liked the evil and disliked the good. He would kill the good people whenever he witnessed a fight.


    People knew him as one who punished the good and rewarded the evil. Therefore, he was called one of the four beasts.


    These were recorded in the books of the legends. However, Fang Zhengzhi did not expect a powerful hatred mindset to be ingrained in Qiong Qi.


    “Ah!”


    “Attack, all of you have to die!”


    “Blood... I want blood...”


    The voices of the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were heard.


    Under the influence of the fury of hatred, their personalities changed rapidly and were taken over by the fury of hatred. They lost control and started to attack the people around them mercilessly.


    sh!


    sh!


    “...”


    As the massacre began, blood st across the sky and the fury of hatred became more intense.


    The stranger thing was that the radiance on Qiong Qi’s body became more intense and his power seemed to have increased with the radiance.


    “How terrifying. He could control one’s state of mind, how to kill him? One can’t even get close to him?” Ping Yang had always been someone who loved to watch the scene of bustle.


    However, when she saw the fury of hatred and the massacre of the Human Alliance, her expression changed gradually.


    Qiong Qi, one of the four ancient beasts, was able to control one’s state of mind.


    Fang Zhengzhi was also stunned. Qiong Qi alone was so difficult to be dealt with as he could control the states of mind of the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.


    If they counted in the other three beasts...


    It was beyond imagination.


    “What should we do? Shameless brat, even this dragon is fleeing, shouldn’t we flee too?” Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi and waited for him to make a decision.


    Wu Yuer looked at Fang Zhengzhi too.


    Yan Xiu, Yan Qianli, Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng as well.


    Although their states of mind were more firm than the ordinary disciples and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race and was not affected by the fury of hatred yet, they knew that as the fury of hatred umted, the Heaven Zen Mountain would soon turn into and of massacre with piles of bodies and pools of blood.


    “We can’t leave!” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.


    “Can’t leave?” Ping Yang was evidently shocked because she had always thought that Fang Zhengzhi was very decisive.


    Especially when it came to fleeing.


    He was always the first to flee.


    However, this time, Meng Tian fled first, followed by the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.


    Although they did not leave eventually, both the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five and Meng Tian had the intention to retreat.


    Yet Fang Zhengzhi said not to leave?


    That was so unbelievable.


    “If we leave, this ce will definitely end up in a sea of blood, hence, we can’t leave. We have to kill them before they be powerful. Or else, as their powers grow, we will lose control over them.” Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists and looked determined.


    The four ancient beasts.


    How powerful and terrifying were they?


    Qiong Qi loved the evil and hated the good, Tao Tie liked to feast, Hun Dun liked to kill and Tao Wu had a strange personality and was emotionally unstable. All four beasts were the root cause of evil deeds.


    “Yes, we can’t leave!” Chi Guyan nodded and walked beside Fang Zhengzhi. She touched Ping Yang’s hair with a determined look.


    “Yes, we have to kill the four beasts!” Even Wu Yuer had a determined look in her ck eyes.


    “Zhengzhi, we are on the same team!” Yan Xiu stood beside Fang Zhengzhi.


    “Hahaha... Since all of you choose to fight, I, Yan Qianli will join too!” Yan Qianli stood beside Yan Xiu too.


    “Let’s fight!” Mu Qingfeng nodded.


    “Old man Mu, you are finally rash, for once, hahaha...” Mo Shanshi stood out and looked at Fang Zhengzhi. “Brat, I had never judged someone wrongly but today I have to admit that I judged you wrongly. You are more righteous than anyone else!”


    “Shameless brat, I also want to join, I am not afraid of these four beasts. Even if I have to die, I want to die with you and sister Guyan!” Ping Yang became calm again and her eyes lit up as she had a determined look on her face.


    “Fight together!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.


    “Fight together!”


    “Fight together!”


    “...”


    Everyone replied in unison.


    “Fang Zhengzhi? Interesting, Sagely Heaven... You didn’t choose the wrong person!” Meng Tian looked at his Traceless Sword slowly and said, “I always thought that I will be needed for this battle. Where’s there’s life there’s hope, but now it looks like each generation is better than the previous!”


    Humm! The Traceless Sword made a clear whistle.


    Meng Tian smiled.


    He smiled rather wildly. Unlike earlier on, his gaze became sharp and the sharpness was even stronger than the Traceless Sword in his hand.


    “Since we are at this sage, Sagely Heaven, go ahead!” Meng Tian threw his Traceless Sword.


    Swoosh!


    The shadow of the sword flew past the sky.


    The Traceless Sword reached Fang Zhengzhi and floated quietly with purple radiance flowing on it like fresh blood.


    “Senior Meng Tian?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Traceless Sword in front of him before turning to Meng Tian who was at a distance.


    “From now, the title of the Sagely Battle God belongs to you. I will help you with five minutes. Since all of you are taking on the battle, I will fight with you!”


    “You are not leaving?”


    “Hahaha... I was kidding!”


    “Senior Meng Tian, you are just showing your own personality.”


    “No, I just left first because I knew that you will leave as I saw you before in the World of the Sage!”


    “...” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned before a scene shed across his mind.


    During the Imperial Examinations, he had passed several rounds consecutively. In thest round, he once met a mysterious middle-aged man.


    Could that be Sagely Battle God, Meng Tian?!


    Meng Tian...


    He was always in the World of the Sage!


    He did not die nore back to life. Instead, he had always been trapped in the World of the Sage and was in Fang Zhengzhi’s Small Dimension?!


    Boom! An explosion was heard.


    Fang Zhengzhi looked at the origin of the explosion and he saw Meng Tian glowing with radiance.


    The old and dried skin started to peel.


    Crack!


    Meng Tian’s bones began to grow and the skin on his face regenerated and became clear. Eventually, it was as though he had shed ayer of skin.


    The middle-aged man!


    The middle-aged man in the World of the Sage.


    Firm,posed, with a gaze as sharp as the sword.


    “Five minutes, because... I can onlyst for so long!” Meng Tian roared before he charged towards Qiong Qi.


    Swoosh!


    It was a stream of light like the sword light.


    He turned into a sword!


    Meng Tian’s body became a real sword, crystal-clear, bright, gigantic, unbeatable.


    Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.


    He suddenly recalled a legend about the highest state of the sword technique.


    Combination of the man and the sword.


    This person was called the cheap ¹ ... oh no, the sword man!


    Roar! Qiong Qi was stunned when he saw the sword approaching him as he had never treated the ant-like humans seriously.


    He only treated the Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five seriously.


    However, he did not expect Meng Tian to be the first person to attack him.


    Moreover, he chose him out of the four beasts?


    The hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out!


    “Scram!” Qiong Qi raised his w and pped the body of Meng Tian. He wanted to crush him like how he did to the Candle Dragon.


    However, what surprised him was...


    When he stepped on Meng Tian, the gigantic sword which Meng Tian had turned into suddenly “disintegrated” and turned into thousands of spots of light.


    Then, the spots of light brushed past Qiong Qi’s front w.


    They umted on Qiong Qi’s neck.


    Swoosh!


    They turned into a gigantic sword again!


    “So impressive!”


    “Is he going to stab him?!”


    “Killing in one strike of the sword? Is that Sagely Battle God Meng Tian?!”


    The clear-minded people started to be hopeful as they witnessed this.


    Meng Tian dodged the attack of Qiong Qi and turned into a sword before appearing on his throat. If he managed to stab Qiong Qi, he would definitely be severely injured.


    Everyone was extremely excited.


    However, at this moment, there was a turn of event.


    Qiong Qi, who was initially as tall as a mountain, suddenly vanished and before they knew, a beam of red radiance struck on Meng Tian who had turned into a sword.


    Bam! The body of the sword broke apart.


    Meng Tian fell on the ground with a pale face. A beast which was less than two meters long stepped on his body.


    It was none other than Qiong Qi.


    However, it was a mini Qiong Qi.


    “Five minutes? How can you, an ant, do that?” The mini Qiong Qi looked at Meng Tian and lifted him up as he flung Meng Tian towards Tao Tie and Hun Dun.
