Chapter 943: Afraid of Death
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
zing Heaven Demoness was actually Hei Lou Lan’s elder aunt, Fang Yuan did not expect this.
Fang Yuan’s battle strength was rank seven at best.
Against Hei Lou Lan, he had an advantage, but the other party had the Great Strength True Martial
Physique, he needed to be wary of herst resort attack.
Against Fairy Li Shan, he was at most only evenly matched. Fang Yuan would be in a disadvantage the
moment she used her battlefield immortal killer move, he could not give her enough time to use it.
As for zing Heaven Demoness, he was extremely pitiful inparison, it was despair-inducing.
Even though Fang Yuan had many Immortal Gu, with his bottom tier rank six cultivation level, there
was no way he could fight against a rank eight Gu Immortal.
Even a rank seven Gu Immortal could not match a rank eight Gu Immortal. Feng Jiu Ge was an
exception, in thest thousand years of Central Continent’s history, he was the only one.
It was virtually impossible for Fang Yuan to deal with zing Heaven Demoness.
The other party was simply too powerful, Fang Yuan was at a weaker position with an absolute
disadvantage.
‘Right now, the only thing that I can rely on is the alliance agreement I made with Fairy Li Shan and Hei
Lou Lan previously. Allies are not allowed to kill each other.’
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly to himself internally.
Earlier, he was finding this agreement restricting to his actions, but now he had to rely on it to survive.
‘However, Fairy Li Shan is an information path Gu Immortal, this agreement might not be reliable.
zing Heaven Demoness canpletely suppress me using battle strength, but she has not struck
yet. If Fairy Li Shan wants to kill me, she would not create this situation either. Also, zing Heaven
Demoness knows my true identity, why did she help me in refining star thought Immortal Gu? This
means that they are not going after my life, they have other objectives.’
As for what their objectives were, Fang Yuan had a vague idea.
The conclusion was, right now, Fang Yuan was not in any mortal danger. This was also the reason why
he was continuing to watch and not trying to escape.
Just as Fang Yuan was thinking over his own safety, the green giant that was trapped by orchard
garden in mountain roared as it raised its head.
After several uses of the killer move dark ember, most of the pear trees in the valley were burned to
ashes, but they continued to grow from the ground, extending towards the green giant even though it
would take some time to trap it again.
Using this chance, two more pairs of giant green wings appeared on the green giant’s back again.
At the same time, the green giant’s appearance underwent a change, itsrge head turned into that of
an eagle’s, its entire body became slimmer and longer, its arms and legs turned into sharp five fingered
ws.
Whoosh!
Its three pairs of wings pped together, at the same time, the green giant’s knees bent slightly, it
jumped and burst into the sky.
The ground trembled, a huge crater was formed from the impact.
Dust clouds rose and mixed with the huge amounts of ashes.
This time, the green giant was not restricted by the vines, but the moment it flew into the sky, the four
elders of Hei tribe felt a strong suction force, it was pulling onto the giant, preventing the green giant
from flying far away from it.
“This is?” The four elders of Hei tribe showed stunned expressions one after another.
Every several meters the green giant rose into the sky, the strength of the huge pulling force increased
by ten times as much!
Gradually, the green giant was unable to resist it anymore.
No matter how much the three wings pped, the giant’s speed became slower and slower, eventually,
it slowed to a crawl, resembling a snail.
After reaching its limits, it was only thirty meters away from the ground.
Boom!
With another loud bang, the green giant crashed into the ground.
The four elders of Hei tribe were silent.
There was no need to say anything, anyone could guess the result, their faces werepletely ashen
now.
This was the true power of orchard garden in mountain.
Fairy Li Shan cultivated information path mainly, and secondarily in wood path and earth path. Orchard
garden in mountain was a battlefield killer move that was formed bybining earth path and wood
path, the pear blossoms were like snow, the vines coiled around the target, these were just wood path
techniques. The force of gravity that pulled it down was the aspect of earth path.
Of course, this was also due to Fairy Li Shan using the power of Miniscule Mountain inside her.
Otherwise, if she used the original version of orchard garden in mountain that was based on her own
strength, the green giant might have broken out of it already.
This was an ancient battle formation, Green City Rampage, even though it was iplete, there were
four rank seven Gu Immortals inside the battle formation, they could fight against a rank eight when
unified.
The green giant could not break out, itnded on the ground. In the valley, countless vines coiled
around it again like tough snakes, the green giant was restricted again.
At this time, there was a sharp sound of wind as explosions urred in the air, the sound was so loud
eardrums could almost burst.
Three angry birds fused in the air, turning into a fire phoenix that was neither big nor small.
The phoenix sang loudly, its wings pped, it was extremely fast, it drew a beautiful rainbow arc in the
sky, crashing into the green giant’s arm and vanishingpletely.
The green giant disyed an incredibly powerful defense, merely a deep hole was created from the
explosion on its arm.
Next, waves of green fog circted around it, as the deep hole closed up, it was like liquid metal,
rapidly mending.
But zing Heaven Demoness’ attacks did not stop for even a moment.
She stood arrogantly in the air, she slowly pointed her arm towards the green giant that was below her,
her arm made a shing motion from up to down!
Fire path killer move — Phoenix Feather Triple Wing de!
Three waves of mes formed instantly. They resembled the feathers of the phoenix, they were curved
but extremely sharp like sickles.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three fire des tore through the air, burning intensely as huge winds started blowing as a result of the
movement.
Three desunched one after another, hitting the same ce consecutively.
Together with the angry bird earlier, this achieved anotherbo move effect, the green giant’s arm
was chopped off by these three des.
The four elders of Hei tribe growled furiously, but it was toote for them to stop her.
The green giant’s body was formed from the ancient battle formation, after the arm was detached from
the body, it was as if the Gu formation itself had lost a portion of itself. Losing the immortal essence
supply from the four elders, the arm quickly vanished into nothingness, as countless Gu worm flew out
rapidly towards the green giant.
Hei Cheng who was captured earlier lost his restraint, he quickly fell.
The green giant tried to grab him, but zing Heaven Demoness stopped it.
Hei Cheng tried to escape, but times were different now, he was inside orchard garden in mountain,
almost immediately, countless vines and roots tied him up tightly, sending him out into the hands of
Fairy Li Shan.
“Let him go!” The four elders of Hei tribe flew into a rage.
Countless dark ember killer moves were used consecutively. Marks of dragons appeared on the green
giant’s chest and back, it was like they were emerging from a body of water, they turned into green
dragons and flew around the area.
This was the signature killer move of Hei tribe’s first supreme elder — Nine Dragon Body Protection!
It could both attack and defend, under the amplification of the ancient battle formation, it disyed
incredibly terrifying power!
At once, nine dragons flew around, they were unstoppable.
Mountain ridges copsed, pear blossoms wilted, nts and trees were sent flying.
Fairy Li Shan’s expression changed: “Hurry up, I cannot hold on much longer!”
The green giant unleashed its full battle strength, it was already very difficult for orchard garden in
mountain to trap it until now.
“Go!” zing Heaven Demoness moved without hesitation, she shot out a long chain of fire, grabbing
onto Fairy Li Shan, Hei Lou Lan, Fang Yuan, and Hei Cheng.
Soon after, she used her killer move, turning into a rainbow, dragging everyone into the air along with
her.
At the moment where he was trapped by the chain of fire, Fang Yuan subconsciously wanted to resist
it, but he held in that instinct eventually.
zing Heaven Demoness’ speed was extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, she vanished with
everyone into the horizon.
Ten breaths of timeter, orchard garden in mountain waspletely destroyed, the terrifying copse
of mountains ravaged the battlefield.
The green giant sessfully flew into the air, it roared and caused tremors in the sky and earth.
zing Heaven Demoness’ movement killer move was extremely fast, it would take a lot of effort for
the four elders of Hei tribe to catch up to her.
Even if they caught up, it would be hard to decide a winner among them.
But it was toote now, the four elders of Hei tribe had to chase her. Hei Cheng had been the
representative of the four supreme elders, he had settled Hei tribe’s affairs for so many years, he knew
a lot of secrets.
Furthermore, as a super force, their own Gu Immortal was kidnapped by others, the four elders of Hei
tribe had lost all of their face, if they did not stop zing Heaven Demoness, they would not be able to
raise their heads in front of the other super forces, or even any of the righteous path or demonic path
forces.
Hei tribe’s Immortal Gu House Dark Prison was lost, and Hei Cheng got captured, Hei tribe’s reputation
was going to plummet.
As the saying goes, everyone kicks a man who is down, with Hei tribe being so weak now, all the other
forces would try to suppress them, they would also be forced to give up a lot of the cultivation
resources that they were holding onto in Northern ins.
Green City Rampage was an ancient battle formation, the four supreme elders of Hei tribe had nock
of movement killer moves. Once they activated their moves together, their speed would be several
times that of zing Heaven Demoness.
But just as the green giant was about to chase her, atter for emergency support appeared beside the
four elders of Hei tribe.
“What? Our blessednd base has been infiltrated by someone secretly and most of our resources
were stolen, we have suffered great losses!”
“The Hei tribe Gu Immortals guarding the ce are all heavily injured!”
“The invader is extremely powerful, they have undeniable rank eight aura!”
The four elders of Hei tribe were shocked and furious.
This was most definitely a plot.
“Right now, Northern ins Zombie Alliance has three rank eights including zing Heaven
Demoness.”
“Damn it! Our base cannot be lost, the defense of a blessednd assembled with bits and pieces is not
enough.”
“We have all fallen into zing Heaven Demoness’ scheme. Go! We have to go back and defend it.”
The green giant roared loudly, both of its arms raised up and pulled, causing a gigantic dark hole to
appear in the space in front of it.
The green giant flew into the dark hole and vanished, leaving behind only the ravaged battlefield which
waspletely in ruins.
“Hei tribe did not pursue us, we are safe now.” zing Heaven Demonessnded on the ground with
everyone.
The chain of fire that restricted everyone was collected by her.
Next, she waved her hand casually and the surrounding ten li were covered by ayer of dark red
barriers.
The battle was now over, but Fang Yuan was more alert than before.
He moved his shoulders and arms, saying calmly to Fairy Li Shan: “So you are all family, you have truly
kept me in the dark.”
“The same goes for you.” Fairy Li Shan smiled with deep meaning.
It was obvious that she had already known that Fang Yuan obtained Star Form blessednd and
disguised himself as Xing Xiang Zi.
“Spare me! Spare my life! I am willing to be your subordinate, I am willing to serve you faithfully, it
will be better for you if you keep me alive!” Hei Cheng struggled to get up, his face was filled with
anxiety as he shouted continuously.
zing Heaven Demoness had taken away the parts of the chain of fire restricting everyone else, but
Hei Cheng alone was still bound up tightly.
Not only did the situation develop beyond Fang Yuan’s expectations, it was alsopletely out of Hei
Cheng’s expectations.
Fairy Li Shan stared with furious eyes as she pointed at Hei Cheng and scolded: “Dog thief, my little
sister loved you so much, yet you took her life away. But that was not enough for you, you even wanted
toy your hands on your own daughter!”
Hei Cheng directly knelt on the ground, he raised his head and begged: “I am willing to be your dog or
horse, I am willing to tell you all of the secrets of Hei tribe! Including the time path inheritance of our
rank eight ancestor Hei Fan. Didn’t Su Xian Er get close to me because of this inheritance? Don’t you
all want this inheritance! I will tell you everything that I know, I will not conceal any secrets!”
But Fairy Li Shan waspletely unmoved, as Hei Cheng turned towards zing Heaven Demoness:
“I did not have any intentions to offend you! Back then, if I had found out that you were behind Su Xian
Er, I would not have taken her life! This is all a misunderstanding, this is all just a misunderstanding!!”
Hei tribe was a super force, they have an inheritance from long ago, their ancestor was obviously very
powerful.
During the generation when Hei Fan was the one in power, Hei tribe had a rank eight Gu Immortal, they
were one of the stronger super forces in Northern ins.
But his lifespan was limited, after Hei Fan died, Hei tribe slowly became weaker, while some of the
other super forces rose up.
This was normal in the world of Gu Immortals. The saying goes, upturns and downturns were just like
the ebb and flow of tides, if one falls, another rises.
Hei Cheng continue to beg unceasingly.
He knew that this was the only way he could possibly survive.
Facing the rank eight zing Heaven Demoness, and Hei Lou Lan who bore a deep and unresolvable
hatred towards him, he could not threaten them using Hei tribe itself. Thankfully, Hei Fan had an
inheritance, and Hei tribe was unable to inherit it. The inheritance of a rank eight Gu Immortal was
extremely attractive to any Gu Immortal out there.

But zing Heaven Demoness snickered, she looked at Hei Lou Lan and spoke with a gentle tone:
“Your life is not mine, whether you can survive or not, only Little Lan can decide. Little Lan, go ahead, I
have already restricted Hei Cheng, he is now as fragile as a mortal.”
“Little Lan, Little Lan, listen to me!” Hei Cheng knelt on the ground, he rubbed his knees against the
ground as he crawled towards Hei Lou Lan in a frenzy.
“You are my daughter, I am your father. you have the blood of Hei tribe flowing in you, you have a huge
advantage in inheriting Hei Fan’s inheritance. If your mother was alive, she would not want to see you
and I in such conflict, right? If you mother was here, she would definitely be extremely happy to see
you inherit Hei Fan’s inheritance. Also, also! You have one of the ten extreme physiques, you were able
to live until now because I asked Jiang Yu to protect your life, that is an undeniable fact!”
Hei Lou Lan looked at Hei Cheng, seeing his frightened and panicking face, she frowned, showing an
expression of deep disgust and hatred.
Next, she kicked Hei Cheng away ruthlessly.
“I will only ask you one question!” Hei Lou Lan’s expression was cold as ice.
“Ask, please ask! I will tell you everything that I know!” Hei Cheng could almost see a chance of
survival.
Hei Lou Lan breathed in deeply, her eyes were red and her voice was trembling: “Mother loved you so
much, she trusted youpletely, actually, she knew that you were going to harm her long ago, but
she believed that you would realize your mistake and stop your actions because of love. Facing
someone who loved you so deeply, how could you have the heart to end her life?”
Hei Cheng was stunned.
He was originally tied up tightly on the ground, and was using his arm to prop his body, trying hard to sit
up.
But he waspletely stumped by Hei Lou Lan’s question.
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a statue.
A gust of wind blew, Hei Cheng’s messy and muddy hair was blown up, his eyes were red as the loving
memories of him and Su Xian Er surfaced in his mind.
Regret, pain, sadness, all sorts of emotions filled his heart.
He started choking, before wailing.
“I, of course I knew that your mother loved me… but, but, but I was afraid of dying… I was afraid of
dying! Sob, sob, sob…”
After answering her question, Hei Cheng no longer had the strength to support his body, he copsed
on the ground.
He was like an old dog, or a rotting prawn, his body was curled up as he wept in the dirty mud.
His mucus and tears were mixed together, flowing down his face.
His silk robe was tattered beyond repair, his body was covered in blood.
His handsome face and former glory was like a dried up mask made of mud. When facing the
prospects of death, this mask disintegrated and vanished.
Hei Lou Lan and the others fell into deep silence.
The scene waspletely quiet.
Except for the wind that was blowing, and Hei Cheng’s continuous soft weeping.
Hei Cheng’s disy made everyone around feel a deep sensation.
Death was truly a terrifying thing.
Facing death, even an invincible rank nine venerable was fragile beyond belief.
Eternal life.
Was it possible?
Fang Yuan only knew: From ancient times until the present, nobody had reached such a stage.
“Let him go.” At this moment, a lump of emotion came out of Hei Lou Lan’s body, turning into a
translucent figure of a female immortal’s body.
‘Su Xian Er, the mother of Hei Lou Lan.’ Fang Yuan’s gaze flickered.
In the past, before Su Xian Er died, she had given Hei Lou Lan a sum of immortal essence, as well as
this familial emotion.
It was because of the familial emotion and immortal essence that Hei Lou Lan could activate Immortal
Gu while she was still a mortal.
“Little sister!” Seeing this familial emotion, Fairy Li Shan could not help but have tears fall from her
eyes.
zing Heaven Demoness’ eyes were turning red, she showed an extremely guilty expression full of
regret.
Hei Lou Lan lowered her head, she looked at Hei Cheng calmly, seemingly in deep thought.
Su Xian Er’s figure floated towards Hei Lou Lan, she stretched out her hand behind Hei Lou Lan,
hugging her beloved daughter as she consoled her gently: “Let him go, you see how pitiful he is now.
After killing me, he was already living a life of misery and regret, is he really happy to be alive now? No,
he is barely scraping through life, he lives in terror, he lives in guilt, he is drifting without purpose, only
living due to his fear, even though he is alive, he had already died long ago.”
“Let him go, that is also the same as letting yourself off. Little Lan, do not live in a world of hatred, do
not live in the past, you need to lead your own life. Don’t bear the sin of killing your own father, it is a
very heavy burden. Trust me, revenge will not lead you to salvation, but destruction instead. I want you
to live a better life!”
“Mother, I know that you are saying that for my sake.” Hei Lou Lan said as she walked towards Hei
Cheng.
Suddenly, she raised her leg.
And she stomped!
Like what zing Heaven Demoness had said, Hei Cheng was currently as fragile as a mortal.
So under Hei Lou Lan’s feet, his head was like a watermelon that burst, blood matter, blood, his skull,
and teeth were all mixed together in a pile.
The high and mighty Hei Cheng, a rank seven Gu Immortal, a generation’s hero, had died.
Su Xian Er’s familial emotion was dazed.
Next, she saw that Hei Lou Lan turned around, facing her: “There is nothing I cannot bear, mother! It is
like in the past, when you knew the situation but still let him have his way, I have my own resolution as
well. Will this lead me on the path of destruction? Hmph, I am not so fragile.”
“Little Lan.” Fairy Li Shan took a step forward, holding Hei Lou Lan’s hand with much worry.
“Little Lan…” zing Heaven Demoness muttered softly, she wanted to take a step towards Hei Lou
Lan, but she did not do so eventually.
‘So it’s like this, I think I understand now.’ Fang Yuan had been observing all of their expressions this
entire time.
