The Space-splitting Demon God escaped very quickly. He had vanished in a blink of an eye.
However, he still felt a little dizzy and this limited the distance he could run away to. Furthermore, his location was not entirely accurate.
However, that did not matter.
As long as he could escape for a distance of a few steps, it was sufficient for him.
That was because if he was given a little more time to recover, he would be able to show his powerful capabilities and majesty again.
However, when he dashed out of the space, he suddenly felt that something was amiss, it felt as though he had sunken into a pool of mud.
"Freeze!" A crisp sound was heard. It was not very loud but it was extremely majestic.
"What?!" The expression of the Space-splitting Demon God changes completely. He knew what the sound represented and knew what was going to happen next.
However, he really could not understand why it sounded so close to him, as if it had predicted the location he would appear at.
How was that possible?
It was impossible!
The Space-splitting Demon God could not believe how Chi Guyan could accurately predict the location he would appear at when he did not know the location himself.
However, regardless of whether he believed it, it was too late.
At the instant when he heard the sound, a beam of purple light flashed across his eyes, it was so bright that the sun and moon had lost their radiance.
"No!!!" The Space-splitting Demon God roared ferociously and widened his eyes. His cold sweat had cured his dizziness completely.
However, nothing was reversible as the purple light had already cut past his body with an extraordinary speed.
Moreover, the purple light was too sharp such that even his thick black armor could not block it.
A slit appeared on his chest and it was smooth like a cut made by a sharp sword. Red blood gushed out of the slit, making a scene as significant as a fountain.
This stunned the Space-splitting Demon God.
He had not suffered such severe injuries in a long time. He had not even been severely injured like this in the ancient battlefield.
However...
This was not the end.
At the instant when the sword light struck him, another sword radiance flashed across his eyes. Then, he felt as though the world was turned upside-down.
At a point in time, he suddenly felt that the sky was the earth and the earth was the sky, or rather, the world was spinning, continuously spinning...
The Space-splitting Demon God took a quick look beneath him. Then, he realized that he was hanging stationary in midair.
However, his vision was still spinning.
...
All the monster kings stood quietly at their spots like stone sculptures.
Their faces all had the same expression.
Astonishment!
Yes, astonishment!
How could they be not astonished when they saw an unforgettable scene of a head spinning in the sky.
It would not be too shocking if any head had been severed by the sword, however, it was extremely shocking since it was the head of the Space-splitting Demon God.
The head of the Space-splitting Demon God...
Was severed?
How could the Monster Kings believe the scene in front of them after their vision had recovered from the flash of the white light?
Apart from them, Wu Yuer and Heavenly Oasis Saint Yan Qianli who were standing beneath the Tree of God could not believe their eyes too.
Although Wu Yuer knew Fang Zhengzhi had made a counterattack, it was unrealistic for him to sever the head of Space-splitting Demon God.
After all, he was a God!
A Demon God who had went through real battlefields in the past!
The word 'astonishment' was not sufficient to describe what Wu Yuer and others' were feeling. However, what was more shocking was how Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan had yet to give up on Space-splitting Demon God's head.
"Die!" Fang Zhengzhi roared coldly and charged towards the head with Chi Guyan at an extremely fast speed.
"Mother!!!" Yun Qingwu shouted anxiously again. One was not sure if she was concerned about Monster Emperor Baizhi's injuries or Space-splitting Demon God's head that was sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi.
However, one could be sure that Yun Qingwu rarely showed such worried expressions.
Boom! A loud sound was heard. Following that, a light ray as white as snow expanded as though the winter had arrived.
It was the white fur that was as strong as metal. Every single fur was like sharp needles and spread throughout the surroundings as if it was about to cover the whole sky.
"What? This old wretch..." Fang Zhengzhi did not see the position of Monster Emperor Baizhi's injury. However, he had always thought that Monster Emperor Baizhi was about to die. Even she did not die, it would be impossible for her to have such explosive powers.
Unless the Space-splitting Demon God missed the spot?
Could it be because Monster Emperor Baizhi hesitated slightly when Yun Qingwu shouted for her to retreat?
Fang Zhengzhi was not certain. However, he knew that there was a mishap in his plan and the mishap made it impossible for him to complete his final attack.
Boom! The fox tail that was like steel struck Fang Zhengzhi's back. The white fur that were as sharp as needles penetrated his black armor which had already been cracked open.
Fang Zhengzhi's body shook and spat out a mouth of blood.
Splat! The blood was splat on the head of the Space-splitting Demon God, adding bloodiness and hideousness to his chilling expression.
At that moment, he heard a growl.
"Ah!!!" This sound was made by the Space-splitting Demon God. As he growled, his head had disappeared.
However, following that, his head appeared at a distance three steps' away very quickly. However, the demon eye that was originally as black as ink suddenly shot out a beam of extremely bright golden light.
It was a very strange scene. As the golden light shined, a fluid that looked like golden water flowed out of the demon eye, and flowed down the chilling face which had been stained by blood.
The stranger thing was, after the golden fluid flowed down, instead of dripping down, they solidified. Furthermore, they were growing and tumbling rapidly.
Just in a moment's time...
A shape of the human body was formed.
"He really did not die?!" Fang Zhengzhi was initially uncertain about whether the Space-splitting Demon God would die after his head was severed. However, he was always mentally prepared.
The fatal spot for humans was the heart; The fatal spot for the monsters was the monster pearl. The fatal spot for the demons was none other than the demon eye on their forehead.
For the demons who had reached the Sage state, they would not die unless their demon eyes are damaged.
As the God-level powerful demon, the Space-splitting Demon God had more powers in his demon eye. It was so powerful that it allowed him to instantaneously rebuild his body.
This was Fang Zhengzhi's speculation.
This speculation stopped him from giving up on chasing after the head of the Space-splitting Demon God. However, he had not predicted that the Monster Emperor Baizhi would block him at the last moment.
"So close, just so close!" Fang Zhengzhi clenched his teeth tightly. Although the powerful force behind him made his whole body slightly unsteady, he continued staring at the Space-splitting Demon God in front of him.
As he saw the golden fluid that was continuously solidifying, he really wanted to make another strike. However, he knew that it would be too late if he had charged over after his body was stabilized.
That was because, although the Space-splitting Demon God had lost a large part of his power, he still had the ability to enter space, although the duration of which only allowed him to move for three steps.
However, if the Space-splitting Demon God was given sufficient time to recover, everything would be back to square one.
Fang Zhengzhi was really unwilling to accept this. He had planned meticulously for every single step in his plan in order to successfully kill the Space-splitting Demon God.
For the first strike, he struck the Space-splitting Demon God in his body.
He did not do that because he did not know the fatal spot for the Space-splitting Demon God was on his demon eye. It was because although he could predict the location the Space-splitting Demon God would appear by connecting his thoughts with Chi Guyan, he could not predict in what way the Space-splitting Demon God would appear in.
To put it simply, he was unsure of whether the Space-splitting Demon God would be kneeling or standing when he made his first strike. Therefore, it was impossible to aim at his demon eye, or rather, the chances of succeeding would be less than ten percent.
Fang Zhengzhi would not do something that cost him a long waiting time but yet did not guarantee even ten percent of probability of success. Therefore, he chose to severely injure the Space-splitting Demon God with his first strike.
Then, in order to seize the best opportunity...
He decided that it would be more appropriate for Chi Guyan to make the second strike because she was more calm and decisive than him.
However, the same idea applied. Chi Guyan could not wait till the Space-splitting Demon God had fully appeared before she struck. She could only see the rough shadow of the Space-splitting Demon God.
Therefore, without a clear sight of the Space-splitting Demon God, it was a huge risk for them to aim accurately at his demon eye on his forehead.
After all, the target was too small!
Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi was not certain about how long the Space-splitting Demon God would look into the Hypnotizing Eye. He was also unsure of how serious the injuries of the Space-splitting Demon God would be, and if he could disappear into space in the last minute.
Therefore, for the second strike, Fang Zhengzhi told Chi Guyan to worsen his severe injuries.
Chi Guyan made an extremely charismatic move. She severed the Space-splitting Demon God's head in one strike. This had exceeded Fang Zhengzhi's expectations.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw the Space-splitting Demon God's head fly, he was stunned too. However, despite that, he still had sufficient time to reach the front of the Space-splitting Demon God's head.
It was because Chi Guyan's strike was too perfect.
It was so perfect that if Monster Baizhi had not suddenly sprang an attack from the back, even if Fang Zhengzhi was in a relaxed state of mind, he could casually kill the Space-splitting Demon God who only had his head left.
After all, as what he had seen, even if the Space-splitting Demon God tried to escape, he could not get any further than three steps. This distance was close enough for Fang Zhengzhi to make a strike without Monster Baizhi's attack.
However, the reality was as such.
Although Fang Zhengzhi was very unwilling to accept this, he had to admit that the attack made by Monster Emperor Baizhi indeed made him lose the best opportunity to kill the Space-splitting Demon God.
"Shameless thief, you still have one last chance!" At this moment, a voice traveled into Fang Zhengzhi's ears.
"There is still a chance?" Fang Zhengzhi knew that Chi Guyan said it, but he did not understand what 'last chance' she was referring to.
Moreover, he was very certain that Chi Guyan was also attacked by Monster Emperor Baizhi when he was attacked.
Therefore, how would there by any chance left?
Fang Zhengzhi really could not understand.
However, a shocking scene appeared in front of him. Chi Guyan dashed out and charged towards the Space-splitting Demon God with an extremely fast speed.
Like a lightning that flashed past the sky with a ting of pink, she charged towards the Space-splitting Demon God with her long sword in her hand, shining bright like the stars.
"So fast? Why was she so fast?! Unless..." Fang Zhengzhi was shocked. When he saw the bloody injury behind Chi Guyan's back, he widened his eyes.
Chi Guyan had much more blood on her body as compared to Fang Zhengzhi. Her back was completely penetrated and blood flowed like a river, staining her entire dress red completely.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why Chi Guyan could still travel at such a terrifying speed even after the attack. That was because she did not block Monster Emperor Baizhi's attack at all.
In other words, Chi Guyan had used her body to...
Forcefully take on the impact of the explosive and powerful attack of Monster Emperor Baizhi?!
Then, she made use of the momentum and force of Monster Emperor Baizhi's strike.
Fang Zhengzhi trembled. This was a tactic that caused both sides to suffer great losses or even perish together. However, he did not see any hint of regret on Chi Guyan's face.
Not only was there no regret, but there was absolute determination.
