Starry Sky Professional

“We meet again, True Demon Lord!”

Lu Zhong sat at the guest table, picked up the teapot, and poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea was provided by the inn and wasn't anything special; besides, it was already cold.

But he didn't seem to mind at all, even taking a small sip with great relish.

“Yes, we are old friends…”

Fang Xing smiled and nodded: “You can see through my disguise; is that a unique ability of the Avenger?”

“That's right. Avengers seek revenge against the gods, so they naturally have the ability to detect the aura of gods… I secretly memorized your aura the last time.”

Lu Zhong answered every question.

“You seem much more mature, and much older…”

Fang Xing looked at Lu Zhong's chest: “Is it because of that Quasi-Artifact?”

“Oh? You can see it?”

Lu Zhong was a little surprised and took out a short sword from his chest.

It was no longer than a chopstick, very small and delicate, looking more like a child's toy than a Quasi-Artifact!

“It seems it needs some more concealment abilities…”

Lu Zhong played with the short sword in his hand, deep in thought.

“You exhausted almost all of your lifespan to create such a Quasi-Artifact?”

Fang Xing's eyes twitched slightly, sensing a faint danger from the short sword.

A level 20 or higher professional holding a Divine Artifact is qualified to pose a threat to a god.

Of course, only a little bit.

“I once instigated several riots against the God of Redemption, and I also launched a rebel army… I also cultivated batches of Avengers…”

Lu Zhong coughed: “But over the years, I have found that I have accomplished nothing! Because the people of this world are too ignorant… They need a reminder of blood.”

“So, you decided to play a big game?”

Fang Xing smiled: “Who is the target of the assassination?”

“In the Imperial Capital, who else is qualified to receive my 'Sword of Revenge' besides the Great Zhou Emperor?”

Lu Zhong sighed: “The Great Zhou Emperor is a descendant of the 'God of Imperial System and Monarchs,' the bloodline left by the Great Zhou Main God in the mortal world. I will use his blood and life to declare that gods can also bleed and can be destroyed…”

“Assassinate the Great Zhou Emperor?”

Fang Xing nodded: “Indeed a big deal. Whether you succeed or not, you will definitely die.”

“Yes, but I have already sown the seeds…” Lu Zhong said.

He didn't have many years left to live and was prepared to shine and generate heat with his last life.

“I see…”

The smile on Fang Xing's face widened: “Such an interesting thing, I, this Evil God, must come and help…”

He stretched out his hand: “Give me your sword.”

Lu Zhong directly handed over the short sword, seemingly not caring at all.

Fang Xing took it, grasped the hilt, and felt a kind of resistance.

“This sword is a Divine Artifact of the Avengers… To use it smoothly, you must limit the profession, otherwise you will always be rejected.”

Lu Zhong said.

In the next instant, his eyes widened, feeling a layer of mist suddenly shrouding the short sword.

The sword was still the same sword, but it seemed to have become ordinary, not so dangerous.

This feeling was the same as when he faced Fang Xing!

“I have added a layer of effect that is difficult for even the Divine Eye to see… Within a few months, it will not even be noticed by the gods.”

Fang Xing threw the short sword back to Lu Zhong: “Since you are preparing to assassinate the emperor, this sword will surely be remembered for thousands of years. Why not change its name to 'Yu Chang Sword' as a good omen.”

“Yu Chang?! Possible…”

Lu Zhong took it, feeling the strangeness on the sword, and nodded silently: “With this sword, I have an additional 30% chance of success.”

As for what would happen after the assassination succeeded, he didn't consider it at all.

“In that case, then I wish you success…”

“I may take advantage of the chaos to steal the Great Zhou Golden Men, which can also be considered as covering for you.”

Fang Xing said indifferently.

“Great Zhou Golden Men?”

Lu Zhong seemed to think of something: “According to the top-secret information I obtained… one of the Great Zhou Golden Men was lost before. Among the remaining eleven, six have been secretly transferred away… What's left in place are just fakes.”

“What? They're actually creating fake wonders; they're really not human!”

Fang Xing cursed, and then became curious: “Where did the six Golden Men go?”

“The Outer Lands!”

Lu Zhong said definitely: “The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty has always wanted to use troops against the Outer Lands and retrieve the last Golden Man…”

‘As expected of Great Zhou…’

Fang Xing sighed inwardly.

It might be difficult to hide the movement of large armies, but it would be much easier to transfer such high-level combat power.

If the Three Severance Pass suddenly received the support of six Great Zhou Golden Men, they would be able to push across the Outer Lands even with their own strength.

‘Is it possible that the Great Zhou Dynasty is finally being pushed to the brink by me?’

‘Also, no matter what the Killing Life Sect is doing in the Outer Lands, their docile behavior all these years is even more unsettling, right?’

‘This probing is probably to force out the true foundation of the Killing Life Sect?’

Fang Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the soldiers were hidden above the nine heavens, and this sudden attack made him feel a little caught off guard.

…

A few days later.

Three Severance Pass.

A small team was patrolling on the city wall.

The countless terracotta warriors, divine beast puppets… were still quietly kneeling or standing, everything as usual.

Until…

Rumble!

The gate of the Three Severance Pass suddenly opened, and the originally garrisoned troops were sent out.

The terracotta warriors' eyes lit up, and the divine beasts began to roar angrily.

Boom!

Boom!

The earth rumbled, and golden giants, almost taller than the city walls, appeared.

The pressure brought by just the spiritual light made the large army fearful.

“It seems that His Majesty is determined to pacify the Outer Lands. He has even sent six Great Zhou Golden Men here… It's overkill for the mere Outer Lands.”

On the city wall, a light flashed.

The latest and most complete novels are on the Six Nine Book Bar!

Lord Sang Cheng appeared, feeling the pressure from the six Golden Men, and quickly performed a salute.

It was not worshiping the Golden Men, but worshiping the gods.

The Great Zhou Golden Men possessed divine power!

“This time, we will definitely pacify the barbarians and promote our national prestige!”

The garrison general of the Three Severance Pass was high-spirited, looking south.

…

Almost at the same time.

Great Zhou Imperial Capital.

The emperor went out on a tour to worship the temple.

The wide streets were already densely packed with imperial guards.

The ceremonial guard alone exceeded ten thousand people.

Wherever he passed, iron armor was like clouds, and banners were like rain.

This was just on the surface.

If there were high-level cultivators here, they could see the real 'Land Gods clearing the way, City Gods secretly following, Wind Earls driving in front, Rain Masters cleaning the streets…'

“The emperor's tour is accompanied by a hundred gods; it's really a grand occasion…”

Among the crowd, Fang Xing was still dressed as a hunter, praising.

In reality, he was complaining in his heart:

‘The emperor, the son of heaven… is naturally shorter than heaven, and it's a divine title, not an imperial title!’

‘The real emperor should call himself 'Human Emperor,' because of the people, as emperor, unrelated to heaven and earth, and unrelated to all gods… This is true self-reliance.’

‘Since I am human, the way of humanity must suppress the way of heaven, suppress everything!’

‘This is the principle of where the interests lie, that's where you sit…’

Although the scene was very lively, Fang Xing didn't intend to go too far ahead.

After all, those Avengers must have actions today. Getting too close might get blood splattered on him.

Instead, he took a few steps back to watch the Great Zhou Golden Men.

‘Hmm… After getting closer, some of the Golden Men are obviously not right…’

‘As expected, they've been tampered with; is it an illusion created by divine power?’

Fang Xing calculated silently in his heart: ‘Now… the army of the Three Severance Pass should also be dispatched, preparing to sweep the Outer Lands?’

With the size of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, the Outer Lands obviously wouldn't have many opportunities.

What's more, this was another attack after the last failure against the Killing Life Sect.

‘Although the Outer Lands are not very important, the trees I planted are all there…’

That's why Fang Xing took action last time and personally gave the Yu Chang Sword a blessing.

He hoped that Lu Zhong could be a little more helpful.

Of course, Fang Xing knew that even if Lu Zhong successfully killed the Great Zhou Emperor, it wouldn't change anything.

There were too many divine descendants on the ground; killing one emperor would only lead to the establishment of another emperor.

As a Divine Dynasty, in the final analysis, everything would eventually fall to the gods.

“Hmm?”

Fang Xing suddenly looked up, looking at the stars that suddenly became brighter in the daytime: “The heavens send out murderous intent, shifting stars and changing constellations?”

…

Destruction Zone, outside the Divine Kingdom.

The incarnations of gods suddenly appeared.

A Divine incarnation is the ability of a true god possessing a godhead. It can create an avatar with most of its own strength. In the upper plane collection of the Heavenly Court, power is hardly suppressed.

“The God of Shadow and Thieves, the God of Love…”

“Of course, there is also the Overlord of War…”

Dark destructive divine power flashed, and Fang Xing's destruction incarnation appeared, looking at this scene, a sneer appeared on his face: “Not only are you besieging my church below, but you even dare to surround my Divine Kingdom?”

“Destruction…”

The Overlord of War looked like a red-haired, white-skinned strong man, wearing a black divine armor, his voice like thunder: “Hand over the Great Zhou Golden Men and guarantee that the Killing Life Sect will never leave the Outer Lands… This is our last chance and tolerance for you.”

True gods are difficult to kill, especially Fang Xing, the God of Destruction. As long as he stays in the Divine Kingdom, even the Great Zhou Main God doesn't have a good way.

Therefore, at this time, they can get a chance to negotiate.

Of course, if the negotiations break down, the Great Zhou Divine System will directly block Fang Xing's Divine Kingdom.

He is a God of Destruction with limited divine power, and no matter how much he consumes, he cannot consume more than twelve true gods.

Although the cost and losses will be great, this is already the best way for the Great Zhou Divine System.

At least, it is much better than directly killing into the Divine Kingdom.

“Finally… has it come to this step?”

Fang Xing murmured, looking down, seeming to see an extremely interesting scene.
