Wham!
Gu Li felt himself slammed into the ground, his chest in agonizing pain as he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.
Gu Li stared up at Ye Zichen, eyes wide. Ye Zichenās two sets of pure-white wings flapped up and down repeatedly as he crossed his arms and looked down at Gu Li coldly.
Coincidentally, at that very moment the dense, ink-dark clouds floated away, letting in a ray of rosy light and illuminating the entire area.
An angel.
Ye Zichen stood proudly in the sky radiating brilliant sunlight, just like an angel from a storybook.
āWings?ā Gu Zichen couldnāt help but arch his brows in surprise. Naturally, he already knew that Ye Zichen had both saint and demon blood, and, furthermore, that Ye Zichen had wings. He even knew that heād grow more of them in the future
Butā¦...
They werenāt supposed to appear until Ye Zichen became a god.
Assuming the course history hadnāt changed, Ye Zichen had grown these wings during his Divine Bestowal. However, his godhead had shattered in the process, taking his newly-sprouted wings with it.
He wouldnāt reform his wings until undergoing his second Divine Bestowal.
No, thatās not right!
Up amongst the clouds, Gu Zichen suddenly frowned. Back in that chaotic space, Ye Zichenās shattered godhead had absorbed all the spiritual energy contained within the seal of the Master of the Three Realms.
Could it be that the power contained within the seal had fully restored his godhead?
If so, his angel wings would have reformed as well.
If that were true, everything was about to change. It was just, had he truly reformed his godhead, Ye Zichen shouldnāt have been at a disadvantage against Gu Li in the first place.
āItās true,ā said Ye Zichen flatly, āif it werenāt for you, I truly might have forgotten all about my wings.ā
āI hate these wings,ā he continued. āTheir appearance proves that demonic blood courses through my veins. I hate demons, so I rarely use my wings - Iāve all but abandoned them. That said, this is no time to worry about that sort of thing, is it?ā
Ye Zichen slowly approached Gu Li. With each step he took, ripples coursed through the sky and feathers of pure light fluttered to the ground.
āThank you so much for reminding me I still had this card up my sleeves. However⦠your crimes are still unforgivable.ā
āHaā¦..Ha ha haā¦ā¦.ā Gu Li, still lying prone on the ground, suddenly started laughing uproariously. He wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, then flew up into the air, landing about a hundred meters from Ye Zichen.
Despite the distance, Ye Zichen and Gu Liās eyes met. Their wings seemed to signify that they wereā¦..
An angel.
And a devil.
You canāt help but admit, the two of them seemed truly destined to oppose each other. From their time in the modern realm to finding out about their respective past lives, all the way to their wingsā¦...
They were black and white, diametrically opposed!
āThat punch just now really hurt,ā said Gu Li, reaching out to massage his wounded chest.
He stretched, then continued, āeven so, you only won a single exchange. Itās nothing to be proud of. Youāre still going to die in the end, arenāt you?ā
āAm I?ā Ye Zichen said without the barest hint of emotion, neither happy nor sad nor angry nor amused.
āTry it, then weāll know for sure.ā
With that, Gu Li instantly disappeared. After a brief pause, Ye Zichen flapped his wings and followed hot on his heels.
Fwoosh. Fwoosh. Fwoosh.
They attacked so rapidly, almost no one present could follow their movements.
There were only two people present who could: Black Dragon and Gu Zichen.
In just a few breaths of time, theyād exchanged hundreds of blows.
Their fists met.
Bam!
They separated.
Ye Zichen leaped backward. Gu Li did the same. The only difference is, his right arm was trembling furiously.
As their fists met, Gu Liās arm snapped.
āI donāt believe it.ā
His wounded arm kept on trembling. Gu Li roared with all his might in an attempt to conceal his injuries and glowered at Ye Zichen, who was still completely cold and emotionless.
Gu Li refused to believe it. It was just another pair of wings. Why was Ye Zichen suddenly so much stronger than him?
He didnāt believe it, so he attacked once more.
Bang!
The bones of his left arm shattered.
Gu Liās arms hung limply by his sides. His eyes were completely bloodshot.
āYouāre no match for me,ā snorted Ye Zichen expressionlessly. āYou broke all four of the Great Sageās limbs, so how about I just⦠break your entire body?ā
āLudicrous!ā Gu Li let out a sinister laugh as dense purple spoke suddenly drifted out of his body.
Heād transformed into an abyssal.
āI havenāt lost yet!ā roared Gu Li, expression sinister. His skin was now dark purple and his body emanated dense, pungent purple smog.
Ye Zichenās eyes widened in response. He knew full well how strong an abyssalās healing abilities were.
He gently flapped his wings and shot into the air like a rocket.
āHmph,ā snorted Gu Li, smiling tightly as he watched Ye Zichen rush towards him. āCome on, then!ā
He punched without hesitation, but just as his fist was about to land, Ye Zichen suddenly disappeared.
He instantly reappeared behind Gu Liās back. He stepped down, pressing Gu Li face-first into the dirt.
Crunch.
He stomped, shattering Gu Liās vertebrae.
Before long, though, his broken back recovered, good as new.
āUsing your healing powers? Last time, you suffered a lot because of them. Are you sure you still want to use them?ā
Healing.
Amongst opponents of roughly comparable strength, healing powers were ludicrously overpowered. However, facing a vastly superior opponent, they only made it easier for your enemy to torture you.
Bang.
He stomped Gu Liās spine to bits once more.
Before long, Gu Li had fully recovered.
āYe Zichen!ā Gu Li roared darkly. His subordinates, the Zombie Progenitors, sensed that he was in danger and rushed over to help him.
āStop them! Donāt let them get in Emperor Yeās way even if it kills you!ā
Seeing that Ye Zichen was at the advantage, the experts of the Three Realms went all out. They knew they were no match for the Zombie Progenitors, but even soā¦..
So long as Ye Zichen succeeded, they could turn things around!
Ye Zichenās overwhelming might strongly boosted the bloodied warriorsā morale. They surged forth, more valiant than ever.
āBreak the Great Sageās limbs?ā
āCause Big Sister Liuāer to mourn?ā
āKill Yuan Hong?ā
With each sentence, Ye Zichen shattered every bone in Gu Liās body. Afterwards, heād wait a few moments, then do it again.
Gu Li gnashed his teeth, silently enduring the agony.
āNot going to say anything? You seem a lot tougher than before, huh? Nevermind then, just die already.ā
When Ye Zichen grew tired of this game, he lost interest in Gu Li. He raised his foot over Gu Liās head, then stomped.
āBlack Dragon, donāt just stand there!ā
