"Next?! How is that possible? "Nangong Mu's hands were trembling slightly because he knew Fang Zhengzhi's character too well.
Because he knew Fang Zhengzhi too well, he was even more certain that Fang Zhengzhi would have cheated during the drawing of lots by writing "first" on both pieces of paper.
But now …
The word "next" on the paper was so glaring.
How could this be?
Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi did not cheat? The two pieces of paper really wrote "first" and "next", and the piece of paper that he swallowed said "first"?
No, no …
It was impossible that Fang Zhengzhi did not cheat. Therefore, the only explanation was that both pieces of paper wrote "next".
At this point, Nangong Mu's expression turned ugly. That was because he had understood that Fang Zhengzhi was betting on his ability to see through the problem, not on his inability to see through it.
"In terms of intelligence … I am indeed not as good as him. However, we are still competing on capabilities." Nangong Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
To Nangong Mu, losing a round in the drawing of lots was a little frustrating. However, it wasn't too surprising. After all, he had already been mentally prepared for it.
However, after losing in the drawing of lots, the situation seemed to be …
Just as Nangong Mu was thinking about this, a soft voice entered his ears again.
"I forgot to mention that when I was writing just now, I accidentally stained two pieces of paper with something dirty … You ate the paper, did you feel any discomfort?"
The voice belonged to Fang Zhengzhi. Although it was not loud, it made Nangong Mu's face turn as black as charcoal ash.
Poison!
How dare he poison!
If it was half a year ago, Nangong Mu would have scolded someone even though he was very strong.
However, Nangong Mu could not scold him now as he had to endure it in order to fulfill Nangong Tian's dying wish.
However, even though Nangong Mu could endure it, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race could not.
"Shameless brat, how dare he poison the paper!"
"Damn it!"
"Stop talking nonsense with them. Sir Chou Qi, please give an order to kill this shameless brat and the Human Alliance!"
The army of demons roared furiously.
Ping Yang was visibly stunned. She had always thought that she had learned the essence of Fang Zhengzhi's shamelessness. However, after hearing this sentence, she understood that there was still a huge mountain between her and Fang Zhengzhi, a mountain that she could never surmount.
"Shameless guy, you really poisoned the paper?!" Ping Yang was still in disbelief because her conscience told her that no matter how shameless a person was, he shouldn't be this shameless, right?
To actually put poison on the paper, such a vile act was simply infuriating.
"Of course, I did ….. How could I miss such a good opportunity?" Fang Zhengzhi said calmly, not even bothering to hide it.
"…" Ping Yang was speechless.
"..." Wu Yuer's lips also moved, but she didn't say a word for a long time.
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi looked at each other and blushed. They were too embarrassed to be in the same team as Fang Zhengzhi.
However, there was nothing they could do.
"Brat, you used my poison?" Heavenly Oasis Saint was nonchalant. After all, he had experienced it himself.
Once upon a time, he felt that he could be Fang Zhengzhi's master. However, reality proved that after a few bottles of poison, he could only be at Fang Zhengzhi's mercy.
Moreover, the most painful thing was that he was the one who made the poison.
"I modified it slightly." Fang Zhengzhi replied casually.
"Brat, you are ruthless!"
"I'll make do with it."
"…"
As they heard the conversation between Fang Zhengzhi and Heavenly Oasis Saint, the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance turned their heads to one side and pretended that they did not hear anything.
At this moment, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Nangong Mu's forehead as he suddenly felt a thrill in his stomach.
"It's really poisonous!" Nangong Mu squatted down and vomited everything in his stomach. At the same time, he quickly took out an elixir and swallowed it.
Only then did he feel slightly more comfortable.
With the help of the Tree of God and Nangong Hao's heart, as well as the power that Nangong Tian left for him before his death and the power that he obtained from Chou Qi and Qin Xian …
The current Nangong Mu naturally wouldn't be poisoned to death by a little poison.
However, just because he wouldn't be poisoned to death didn't mean that he wouldn't be affected after being poisoned. After all, that was a "fierce poison" that Fang Zhengzhi had modified.
It was like a person suddenly realizing that there was a "caterpillar" in the apple when he was eating it …
Although he would not die, he would feel disgusted for at least ten days. Therefore, it was impossible for Nangong Mu to not be affected in such a short period of time.
"Don't worry, he won't die. This poison is not fatal, but it will hurt his kidneys … The most direct effect is that he will have an urge to urinate and have diarrhea …" Fang Zhengzhi reminded Nangong Mu "kindly" as he looked at Nangong Mu who had finally recovered.
"…" Nangong Mu's face, which was hidden under the cloak, turned extremely pale when he heard this. His legs almost gave way and he fell to the ground.
Fang Zhengzhi …
'Indeed, I shouldn't have been your opponent.'
Nangong Mu clenched his fists and a scene flashed past his mind.
In the cold snowfield, there was a pool of blood, a withered Tree of God and over ten loyal servants of the Nangong Nobles kneeling in front of him.
"Mu 'er, the future of the Nangong Nobles is in your hands …"
"You must kill Fang Zhengzhi and take back what belongs to the Nangong Nobles!"
"Father, please!"
"…"
"Father!"
"…"
Nangong Mu bit his lips. He did not want to inherit Nangong Tian's dying wish, but he had to "fight" for the future of the Nangong Nobles.
That was because he still had the blood of the Nangong Nobles flowing in his body.
"Father … I can't follow your instructions, but I promise you that I will use my own methods to take back everything that belongs to the Nangong Nobles …" Blood flowed out of Nangong Mu's lips and his eyes slowly turned red. The aura on his body was eerie and terrifying.
However, he calmed down very quickly.
With Chou Qi's identity.
With the authority to command the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, he was already halfway to success in what he wanted to do for the Nangong Nobles. He definitely could not give up now.
"A little poison won't be able to hurt me!" Nangong Mu slowly raised his head. However, the grey haze under the black cloak was getting thicker.
"Of course not. I believe in your abilities. Let's start the competition now. Who are you going to send to die in the first round?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Sir!" At this moment, Lin Yu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly appeared in front of Nangong Mu.
"What's the matter?" Nangong Mu lowered his voice and asked.
"Sir, who are you going to send for the first round?" Lin Yu clenched his teeth and asked carefully.
"What suggestions do you have?" Nangong Mu knew what Lin Yu was thinking about.
"If you trust me, let me fight for the first round. I will not let you down even if I have to risk my life!" Lin Yu said with a determined look.
"You alone?"
"Give me another three Monster Kings."
"I'm afraid that's not enough." Nangong Mu shook his head.
"Why? Do you think that apart from Fang Zhengzhi, who else among them could fight against us? "Lin Yu was confused.
"Of course not. However, what if there are two or more of them who can kill the three Monster Kings in a short period of time?" Nangong Mu asked.
"What do you mean?"
"From what I know, Mu Qingfeng can kill the three Monster Kings easily. By then, you will have to face the joint attack of four of them!"
"I'm not afraid even if the four of them attack me together!"
"It's true that I'm not afraid, but I have a fifty-fifty chance of winning." Nangong Mu shook his head.
Lin Yu fell silent.
Just like what Nangong Mu said, although he was a Godly State expert, there was a fifty-fifty chance that he would get into an accident if he fought against four people who were at the peak of the Sage State like Mu Qingfeng.
A fifty-fifty chance …
If he really lost the first round, with the addition of Fang Zhengzhi …
"Then let Mu Xing go with me!" After some thought, Lin Yu accepted Nangong Mu's suggestion and said.
"Given your and Mu Xing's capabilities, you will definitely not lose if you don't meet Fang Zhengzhi. I have considered this arrangement too, but for some reason, I feel that there's a trap in it." Nangong Mu nodded before shaking his head.
"What trap?"
"If … You are Fang Zhengzhi, what will you do when you face two Godly State experts?" Nangong Mu asked instead of answering Lin Yu's question.
"Apart from him fighting personally, the only choice is to give up as he has no chance of winning," replied Lin Yu without hesitation.
"Do you think he will give up?"
"Yes."
"I don't think so."
"Why?"
"That's because once he gives up the first round against two Godly State experts, he will have no hope of winning the second round against me and the other two Godly State experts."
"Then … What do you mean, Sir?"
"If I send you and Mu Xing, Fang Zhengzhi will definitely fight."
"Are you saying that in the first round, he will …" Lin Yu's body trembled and a drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Yes, he will definitely kill you and Mu Xing in the first round. Then, he will have two choices. One is to turn hostile and fight against us. However, I don't think he will do that as he will be even more shameless. The second option is to kill him secretly in the round where we only send out one Godly State expert."
"…" Lin Yu felt a chill down his spine.
Although what Nangong Mu said was only a guess, if the opponent was Fang Zhengzhi, it was highly possible that he would do such a thing.
After all, he was a shameless brat who dared to use poison.
Most importantly, if the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race lost two to three Godly State experts, their capabilities would be greatly reduced. By then …
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would not have the upper hand.
"So what do you think we should do, Sir?" Lin Yu did not insist as he had a feeling that Chou Qi knew Fang Zhengzhi better than him.
This made Lin Yu feel a little confused.
That was because in his impression, Chou Qi had not interacted with Fang Zhengzhi before. However, in reality, Chou Qi had a better vision than him.
It was strange.
However, Lin Yu did not have the time or the means to investigate further. After all, the commander of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race was Chou Qi and not Lin Yu.
Because of this, he could not suspect Chou Qi.
He could only trust him unconditionally.
"If we want to be greedy and try to secure all three rounds, we will only end up losing. Moreover, we will definitely lose miserably. Therefore, we can only bet on two rounds!" Nangong Mu finally spoke after a moment of silence.
"Bet on two rounds?!" Lin Yu's gaze froze.
He already understood the meaning behind Nangong Mu's words. It seemed a little reckless to only bet on two out of the three matches.
However, a smart person would know that there was no such thing as a complete victory in this world.
Those who wanted to win …
In the end, they would lose everything.
"For the first round, you will bring two Godly State experts and a Monster King. Mu Xing … I will fight for the third round," said Nangong Hao.
"Is it alright for us to send three Godly State experts for the first round?" Although Lin Yu understood, he was still a little hesitant.
"Hmm, Fang Zhengzhi will definitely not fight if we send three Godly State experts. That's because the possibility of him killing all three Godly State experts in a one-versus-three situation is extremely slim. In a one-versus-three situation … He only has a 50% chance of winning the first round. Even if he wins the first round by luck, he will definitely lose the next two rounds if he can't kill the Godly State experts!" Nangong Mu said with certainty.
"So what are the arrangements for the next two rounds?" Lin Yu nodded.
"According to the rules, Fang Zhengzhi should send someone for the second round first. I guess he will definitely send someone who can kill the Monster King so that he can win the second round."
"Sir, you mean we give up on the second round?"
"Hmm, bet on the third round!"
"Understood, please forgive me for making a presumptuous request!"
"Speak."
"I would like to request Sir to take back your order and place Lin Yu in the third round!"
"You want to fight in the third round?"
"Yes!"
"But you should know that you will definitely meet Fang Zhengzhi in the third round."
