Chapter 378 - People with Same Fate

Chapter 378 – People with Same Fate

When the young man saw that An Zheng still did not answer him, he became even more agitated. He pointed the iron spear in his hand at An Zheng’s face from afar, “I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me who you are, and why you have fish scales. “I’m just curious about you. Even if you didn’t answer, I would still have killed you and taken your scales away.”

An Zheng didn’t even bother to reply and directly rushed forward.

The young General of Youguo was furious. He stabbed his spear into the ground, “You’re courting death!”

As his iron spear struck the ground, a dense, strange writing spread out in all directions. Like a black spiderweb, it instantly spread out for at least a few dozen metres, and An Zheng had already charged into the range.

The moment An Zheng entered, the dense text on the ground suddenly lit up. Soon after, all the weirdly shaped characters were linked together, and from a distance, it looked like a large and small tadpole that was connected.

In that moment, An Zheng felt as if he fell into a quagmire, and his speed slowed down by many times!

“Die!”

The young Youguo General dashed towards An Zheng, his iron spear thrusting straight towards An Zheng’s heart. The Holy Fish Scale flew over to block the spear for An Zheng, but the other party’s Holy Fish Scale also flew over, and knocked An Zheng’s Holy Fish Scale away with a ‘dang’ sound. No more or less, the other party actually had nine Holy Fish Scale.

Seeing that the big spear was about to hit An Zheng’s chest, An Zheng’s heart flashed.

The repaired Depressing Sword was no longer sad. The aura on the sword was just like An Zheng’s, cold and hard.

With a clang, the Broken Army Sword swung the spear away, and the young general’s hands were thrown backwards. But what surprised An Zheng was that the Broken Army Sword did not directly slice through his opponent’s iron spear!

It seemed like the iron spear did not exude any kind of treasure Qi, even An Zheng was unable to determine its grade at first glance. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)) But after coming into contact with Po Jun, An Zheng realized that the iron spear was actually of a very high grade! This kind of young man held an iron spear that could be called a godly weapon, had a Holy Fish Scale, and from the looks of it, he was even proficient in runes. This was simply a miracle.

An Zheng couldn’t help but think in his heart, f * ck, if I didn’t have more than you, I wouldn’t even know who was the actual “heaven chosen” person!

The other party had clearly not expected An Zheng to have sucowerful artifact in his hands. He was clearly inferior to An Zheng in terms of Cultivation Power, but his attainments in terms of runes made it so that he did not suffer much. The art of inscriptions was much more difficult than ordinary cultivation. A Symbol Master spent his life cultivating talismans, how could he have the time to practice other cultivation methods and refine his own body? Thus, normally, none of the Symbol Masters would dare to engage in close combat because their close combat was simply trash that could not be worse.

However, this guy actually dual cultivated both talismans and martial arts!

F * ck, he was born with a good life.

An Zheng couldn’t help but be a little envious of him.

That person was clearly stunned for a moment, as he guessed that An Zheng had the same thoughts as him.

This person looked around. Due to An Zheng’s incomparably domineering Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns just now, the hidden troops were worried that there would be cultivators from the State of Yan in Chang Deng City. Aesult, they slowly retreated, and the first wave of attacks ended.

“You and I will fight alone!”

The man turned around and ran towards a forest on the far side of the plains.

Even though An Zheng thought that the other side might have some traps, he still charged out. That Holy Fish Scale, An Zheng was determined to win. Not to mention, his opponent was also a very powerful rune master.

It was obvious that the man also wanted to know An Zheng’s identity, so he intentionally lured him away. The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly left the battlefield like two bolts of lightning. The horn sounded in the distance, and the hidden troops began to retreat in an orderly fashion. This also allowed An Zheng to be less worried about the future, and not have to worry about the defense of the city.

After leaving the battlefield, that person’s speed had become even faster, as if he was intentionally showing off to An Zheng. An Zheng’s body did not look good when he was reborn in the Fantasy City, and the cultivation potential of the half-star made him troubled for a long time. However, after going through three temperings, An Zheng’s fleshly body was extremely strong. In the entire world, there was not a single cultivator of the younger generation who was better than him.

To put it in the Oldman Huo’s words, An Zheng’s luck was unparalleled in the world.

As An Zheng increased his speed, the distance between the two gradually shortened. The young General of Youguo turned around and looked at him, his eyes filled with disbelief. After another two to three minutes, An Zheng was already close to his back.

The person evidently did not expect that An Zheng would actually be faster than him. From his expression, one could tell that this was an extremely arrogant person. Maybe he warue genius seen once in a hundred years, just like how An Zheng was in the State of Yan. But the status of such a genius and his pride were being slowly crushed by An Zheng.

After entering deep into the forest, the young general of Youguo dodged to the side abruptly. If he did not dodge now, An Zheng would have stepped on his heels. The speed at which the two of them were shuttling through the forest was so fast that it was hard to believe. When he started running, he could not see anyone. He only saw two shadows flash by.

The man suddenly stopped and looked at An Zheng with ice-cold eyes.

“Who the hell are you?”

he asked.

Although his tone was still full of hostility, it was clear that it wasn’t as cold as before. It could be seen that his curiosity towards An Zheng had greatly surpassed the hatred between the two nations. In fact, if it was someone else, they would feel the same way. The other person was similarly young, similarly outstanding, and seemed to have a similarly extraordinary experience. Furthermore, they also had the same Holy Fish Scale.

“And who are you?”

An Zheng asked.

The young officer straightened his body, “I am the’s great general, Bai Xiaochi. Leaving aside the grudge between our two countries, I am very curious about your fish scales. I want to know why you also possess fish scales, and why you can control them! “You clearly don’t know the art of inscriptions, so there’s no reason for you to break the seal on the scales!”

An Zheng finally understood. “Oh … So there is a seal on the scales. ”

Bai Xiaochi was startled for a moment, “What do you mean? Don’t you know that there is a seal on the fish scale? Since you do not know that there is a seal on the fish scale, how did you manage to control it?! ”

Obviously, he questioned An Zheng’s answer.

An Zheng looked at him and said: “Let’s be simple, there is no need for all these complicated problems. Actually, you have the same goal as me, you want my Holy Fish Scale and I want yours. So you don’t need to say so much, just come and steal mine, or wait for me to take yours away. ”

Bai Xiaochi’s expression was somewhat cold as he said, “The reason why I’m talking to you alone is not because I’m afraid of you. All I came in contact with were symbols, and symbols are the characters closest to the Heavenly Dao. Within the runes, there was a certain number of days of leakage. Do you believe that there are people with the same fate as you in this world? ”

An Zheng laughed and asked: “You mean, you and I have the same fate?”

Bai Xiaochi said: “I just said, putting aside our hostile positions, although you and I are bound to have a decisive battle, there are many things that we should clarify a little. I studied the art of rune, so I’m the closest person to the number of days. I only ask you one thing. Have you been incredibly lucky in your entire life? Even if it’s just a casual trip, you will still get a lot of unexpected rewards? ”

An Zheng nodded: “You’re right.”

Bai Xiaochi said: “Me too... Since I was a child, I have cultivated in the art of runes. People call me a once in a century rune genius. Everyone thought that I would become a first generation Symbol Master, but no one could have imagined that after a major illness, my physique unexpectedly underwent a drastic change, allowing me to dual cultivate both Symbol and Martial Arts. From then on, my luck was unstoppable. I got Heaven’s chosen ones, many of these magic tools simply flew over to find me on their own. If others were to cultivate this technique for ten years, they might not necessarily be able to achieve it, but I would quickly be able to cultivate it. The Holy Fish Scale you are talking about, is also the fish scale … No one else could see through its essence except for me. My symbols are unique, and I know what it means by breaking its seal. ”

An Zheng frowned slightly: “What are you trying to tell me?”

Bai Xiaochi said: “Could it be that you still don’t understand? When I saw that you could control fish scales, I knew you and I were the same kind of person. ”

An Zheng asked, “And then?”

Bai Xiaochi said: “Since we are of the same kind of people, and have the same heaven’s chosen ones, then there is no need for us to fight to the death. Why don’t you hand over your scales to me? It’s not like you know anything about runes, so you don’t even know what that thing is. ”

An Zheng could no longer hold back and laughed out loud: “Are you saying that in this competition of luck, you have better luck than me, so you don’t need to fight, and I should just give you the thing?”

Bai Xiaochi: “My fate is the same, but I am actually more outstanding than you.”

An Zheng shook his head: “Have you ever died?”

Bai Xiaochi was stunned for a moment. “No one has died yet!”

An Zheng: “I’ve died before.”

His body fiercely charged forward, “Why are you wasting your breath? Your name is Bai Xiaochi, but you act like an idiot.”

Bai Xiaochi: “Since you want to die, then don’t blame me. Do you really think that I am the real idiot when I tell you all these? In my opinion, you are the real idiot … The more powerful a rune technique was, the longer it would take to prepare. Although I am a dual practitioner of talismans, I cannot lay down the talismans during a battle with you. When I was talking to you about this just now, I was already using runes to set up the formation here … Whether you tell me your name or not, it’s meaningless. ”

He clasped his hands together and shouted, “Destiny!”

This rune array formation was called fate!

In just an instant, An Zheng’s body, which was originally moving forward, suddenly lost its direction. Bai Xiaochi was no longer in front of him, but instead, a huge tree. An Zheng’s heart stirred, and instantly understood what this so-called Destiny’s Array was. It looked like a world of mountains and rivers. In this type of Fate Rune, Bai Xiaochi was the absolute ruler.

However, in front of An Zheng, no one was the absolute ruler.

Bai Xiaochi clasped his hands together and muttered under his breath. When he confirmed that An Zheng was already trapped in his Destiny’s Array, his face became complacent: “I told you, I haveaven’s chosen one, no matter how you struggle it would be meaningless. This Destiny Array is your Destiny. You and I have the same fate, but you are destined to be a cornerstone in fulfilling me. I have already calculated that as long as I can swallow a person of the same fate, I can truly open the path to becoming a powerful expert. ”

An Zheng looked around at the changing scenery, his eyes becoming colder and colder: “Heaven’s chosen ones, destiny, I get a bit impatient listening to these things. If you really think that our fates are the same, then you should just die first! ”

He waved his hand, and the ground began to shake.

“Do you really think that I didn’t notice the waves when you spoke?” It’s just a mere array glyph, yet you have the guts to call it fate. ”

An Zheng pressed his hands down, “Break for me!”

— —

An Zheng pressed both of his hands onto the ground, as a cold shiver ran down his spine, “I don’t know how to draw inscriptions, but do you really think that you can trap me with a mere array glyph? “You have always said that you haveaven’s chosen one. Today, I will show you what a heaven’s chosen one looks like!”

The ground started to shake violently. Within a few hundred meters, all the trees were uprooted, and they shakily emerged from the ground. Within the churning waves, nine pagoda-like Nine Hell Magic Bell drilled out from the ground, forming a huge circle in the range of a few hundred meters, surrounding Bai Xiaochi and his Destiny’s Array. Following the destruction of the earth, the runes that had seeped into the ground suddenly became chaotic.

“Again …” Another Purple-Rank Divine Artifact?! ”

Bai Xiaochi’s face suddenly changed.

An Zheng pointed to the sky with one hand and the Mountain River Diagram ruler appeared. It was as though a glorious history had been unfurled, flowing on fohousand years. The last rune power was crushed by the pressure of the ruler. The Destiny Array that he thought he could trap An Zheng within was instantly broken by An Zheng. A Purple-Rank Divine Artifact and an artifact at the peak of the Golden-Rank combined with it and caused Bai Xiaochi’s runes to instantly lose its power.

“The rune array you created is just a barrier.”

An Zheng: “You think that you can becomuler just by staying inside the barrier?”

Bai Xiaochi’s face was extremely ugly, but he was born arrogant, and he had an extraordinary personality, how could he admit defeat like this?

He thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, and the runes on the ground began to spread. His hands quickly formed a seal, and the speed of his hands was so fast that they looked like a ball of shadow. When he stopped, the sky above the forest changed. Thick, dark clouds suddenly appeared and covered the top of his head like dark mountain ranges. Lightning coiled around the clouds.

Even Bai Xiaochi’s face was darken by the electric light. He pointed at An Zheng with one finger: “Before you meet me, you will never know how terrifying a practitioner that cultivates both talismans and martial arts is.”

As he pointed his finger at An Zheng, a thunderbolt descended from the sky. That thick lightning shot down from the clouds like angry dragons, striking towards An Zheng.

An Zheng’s brows slightly rose: “Is this your talisman technique? Weak! ”

He raised his left hand into the sky, and a faint purple electrical glow appeared in his palm. As for the lightning that was striking down menacingly from the sky, the book sword that had just appeared out of purple lightning in An Zheng’s hands became timid, and actually did not dare to continue with the slash. That thick bolt of lightning seemed to have its own intelligence as it turned around and ran towards the clouds. Relatively speaking, if that thick lightning bolt was an angered dragon, the purple lightning coiling around An Zheng’s hand was just a small snake. However, the moment the colossal dragon saw the little snake, it was immediately scared out of its wits. It didn’t even have the courage to fight back.

The purple lightning from An Zheng’s hands flew up, and was twice as fast as the speed of lightning. He caught up to Lightning from behind and then swallowed her in one gulp. The bolt of purple lightning traversed through the clouds, causing them to immediately loosen up. Not only that, but the purple lightning was actually absorbing the thunder and lightning energy in the clouds. In just a minute, the clouds that were as thick as mountains had become thinner and thinner. When the purple lightning came flying back from the sky, the dark cloud had turned into a white cloud. It looked as if someone had drawn a line in the sky with a brush.

Bai Xiaochi’s expression became even more unsightly. He was completely unable to imagine that the power of the lightning pool that he was using the rune to summon would actually have no meaning in front of An Zheng.

“That’s it?”

An Zheng reached out his hand, and the purple lightning flew back into his palm.

Bai Xiaochi suddenly flicked his middle finger, causing the drop of blood to fly out the moment the finger touched it. Then, he stretched out his finger and touched the bead of blood in the air. Then, he used the air as paper, his finger as a brush, and his blood as ink to writune in the air.

Those symbols were very simple; they were only three strokes. But after these three strokes, the air around An Zheng suddenly froze. Soon after, three Giant Demons broke through the ground and drilled out from the cracks in it.

[Rune Forbidden Technique: Summon Demons]

Following Bai Xiaochi’s low shout, the three enormous Earth Devils crawled out of the crevice and encircled An Zheng. These three were Earth Demons, and each of them was more than ten meters tall. Their bodies were green and purple, and they looked like mummified corpses. Their legs were short, but their arms were too long. From the looks of it, the arm was almost as thick as the legs combined. All three of the Earth Demons held a large stone club in their hands, which was covered in dense runes.

“Three objects that are close to the Lower Completion Stage?!”

These Earth Demons weren’t cultivators, so they couldn’t hide their auras. The moment they came out, An Zheng felt the terrifying aura of these Earth Demons. No wonder this rune technique could be called a forbidden technique. Summoning three early stage Earth Demons of the first stage of Lower Completion Stage with the help of Captive Stage was more than enough for Bai Xiaochi to run rampant in the martial arts world. Without a doubt, under the Youguo and Lower Completion Stage, Bai Xiaochi was no longer a match for them.

Even a first or second stage Lower Completion Stage cultivator would not necessarily win in front of him. Although there was definitely a time limit for summoning three first stage Lower Completion Stage Demons, within this time limit, three first stage Lower Completion Stage Demons surrounded and attacked a first stage Lower Completion Stage cultivator, giving them an absolute advantage. Adding on the fact that Bai Xiaochi had dual cultivated in talismans, his cultivation had already reached around the seventh stage of the Captive Stage.

This kind of person would definitely be considered the number one of the young generation in Youguo.

An Zheng took a deep breath, “Finally a bit more interesting.”

An Earth Devil Wheel viciously smashed down with a stone club. The power was tremendous, far surpassing that of cultivators of the same level. This thing known as an Earth Devil relied on its formidable physical strength. In such a close distance battle, it had a unique advantage. Strong, tall, and with arms spread out over ten meters, it was enough to control a huge area.

Furthermore, with the support of Bai Xiaochi’s Runes, the power was even greater.

“You’re crazy even if you look big?!”

An Zheng smashed his fist against the iron rod. It looked like there wauge difference between the two. The Earth Demon was over ten meters tall and it was using all of its strength to smash its arm. That hand was even bigger than An Zheng’s body and its fingers were as thick as An Zheng’s waist. That stone stick was at least five meters long, and the thickest part was over two meters. How powerful was the swing when it was swung?

However, An Zheng was not afraid at all, his fist exploded forth with a burst of light purple light and he smashed it towards the stone club.

Bai Xiaochi’s face was filled with contempt. “So what if you haveaven’s chosen one? With merely the strength of their Captive Stage, they dared to challenge the opponent of the Lower Completion Stage, and three of them at that. The dumbest thing is that you actually do not use two Purple-Rank Divine Artifact. Don’t tell me that you think you can defeat your opponent by relying on your own strength? ”

But before he could finish speaking, An Zheng’s fist had already crushed the stone club that had the power of the gigantic rune. The stone rod that looked extremely sturdy, was as weak as tofu under An Zheng’s attack. Witurple glow, his fist smashed the stone club into pieces. However, An Zheng’s body did not stop at all. After shattering the stone club, he went through a large piece of broken stone powder and smashed his fist towards the Earth Demon’s head.

The Earth Demon’s other hand swept over, attempting to slap An Zheng flying. However, its speed was still slower than An Zheng’s.

That enormous palm swept past An Zheng’s feet, bringing along a hurricane that directly swept aparow of large trees in the distance. But An Zheng’s fist had also arrived, smashing onto the face of the Earth Demon with a boom. The Earth Demon’s head jerked back, its body couldn’t help but retreat a few steps, then fell down. When the huge body fell to the ground, the ground seemed to tremble a few times.

An Zheng stepped onto the Earth Demon’s face. His originally very ugly face immediately shrunk, and becamundred times uglier than before. Following the release of the power beneath An Zheng’s feet, the large skull of the Earth Demon was embedded into the ground. An Zheng got off the Earth Demon’s body and grabbed its ankle with both of his hands before he started to talk about it.

The head that had been stepped into the ground was pulled out likadish. Its huge body flew out horizontally, knocking over another Giant Demon.

“If I rely on magic tools to defeat you, I’ll consider it my loss!”

Witap of his feet, An Zheng shot out like a cannonball. Just as the Earth Demon’s body was swaying, An Zheng’s body suddenly appeared in front of the Earth Demon’s body. The Earth Demon’s reaction was fast, his fist punched towards An Zheng. The two fists collided in midair, but in the instant that their fists collided, it was clear who was superior! The Earth Devil’s fist immediately shattered, and its arm followed closely behind.

This scene was like metal colliding with earth.

An Zheng’s fist directly shattered the Earth Demon’s arm, and then he continued forward. He threw himself onto the Goblin, grabbed its neck with both hands, and swung it around to the back of the Goblin. An Zheng’s palm raised up, and fiercely slashed down like a blade. With a “pu” sound, the palm cut into the back of the Earth Demon’s neck, almost completely cutting it open. An Zheng retracted his hands, hugged the Earth Demon’s head and wriggled it a few times, then with a kacha sound, he pulled the Earth Demon’s head off.

He casually tossed the head of the Earth Devil aside and dashed towards the third Earth Demon. After he left, the headless Earth Demon’s body shakily fell to the ground.

The third Earth Demon was obviously afraid, it had looked down on An Zheng just now. But now, An Zheng had made it feel fear.

However, after being summoned, it had no other choice but to fight. The last Giant Demon raised his stone club and smashed it towards An Zheng. The stone club that the Giant Demon that was over ten meters tall smashed down from above with a monstrous might, but An Zheng only raised his left hand and caught it with a bang. Under the power of the stone club, the ground beneath An Zheng’s feet sank with a boom more than a meter!

An Zheng’s left hand blocked the Earth Demon’s stone club, and the Orthodox Pure Yang appeared on his right hand. Under the blazing light, the Earth Demons living in the darkness were simply unable to withstand it. Instantly, blood and tears flowed out from its eyes as they were blinded by the Orthodox Pure Yang. An Zheng pushed the Orthodox Pure Yang forward, and the one meter wide sun was stuffed into the Earth Demon’s stomach. Countless rays of light shot out from the body of the Earth Demon, and after a short while, the Earth Demon exploded.

As the shattered rocks fell, An Zheng turned to look at the dumbstruck Bai Xiaochi.

“Don’t you think you’re strong? I’ll play with you the same way. ”

An Zheng took a step forward, “What else is there?!”

That tiger’s roar made Bai Xiaochi’s face pale.
