Chapter 795: The Enemy Is Too Strong, System, How About We Defect to the Enemy?

Pale blue spiritual light converged into a stream of pale blue lines, coalescing before Fang Qi into a tall figure clothed in a blue-grey Taoist robe and crowned with silver.

In his hand, he held a pale green longsword whose azure radiance resembled a pool of clear water, none other than the Demon Suppressing Sword wielded by Fei Peng.

An invisible sword intent seemed to have fully solidified into tangible form.

Her cold eyes narrowing slightly, True Monarch Bi Xiao's face instantly darkened, and her body shifted like a shifting shadow, vanishing from her spot almost in the blink of an eye!

And in the very next moment, Fang Qi’s expression changed abruptly!

The experience of countless clashes with various masters far beyond his level in the cultivation room made him leap to the side almost without a second thought.

The next instant, the ground where he had just been standing seemed to be struck by some bizarre force, disappearing entirely!

A drop of cold sweat dripped from Fang Qi’s forehead; this was the first time since coming to this world that he had felt such immense pressure.

"Heh~ foolish mortal!" That chilly voice seemed to continue drifting down from high above the nine heavens, while True Monarch Bi Xiao herself had already lost all trace of her whereabouts.

Within the massive celestial palace, that glazed, pale flame suddenly erupted into a raging blaze!

The flames roared like furious dragons, swallowing everything in the surroundings!

In a flash, a gust of sword wind capable of tearing everything apart slashed through, finally forcing these flames back a fraction.

"Did you mistake me for one of those foolish mortals?" A frigid tone echoed from the sky. "If this divine general beside you were here alone, this monarch might still have some misgivings, but now, do you think he has any chance to leave your side?"

"To contend with this monarch in spellcasting, you are still ten thousand years too green!" Steam rose as the moisture in the air was completely dried up almost instantly; Fang Qi even felt the blood throughout his body beginning to boil as the temperature soared, his skin feeling as though it were about to be scorched.

In the next instant, Fei Peng slashed downward at the dome of the grand palace, his sharp sword radiance forcefully carving a rift through this terrifying celestial palace that even celestial fire could not burn through, and shot outward with Fang Qi like a meteor!

But in the following moment, fire dragons were seen ascending, and beneath the two of them, two pale fire dragons, like two devouring primal beasts of ancient times, roared and snapped toward them!

Not only that, but Fang Qi saw that the surrounding celestial spiritual energy had actually begun to burn along with it.

Subsequently, the spreading flames were absorbed once more by the two fire dragons, their draconic forms growing larger and larger as a result, until they finally transformed into two thousand-zhang-long dragons that surged like undulating mountain ranges!

A massive tail brought with it a piercing whistle of wind, sweeping toward the location where Fang Qi was!

A flash of cold light gleamed, so fast that it made it impossible for one to keep their eyes open!

Almost in the blink of an eye, that massive tail was neatly sliced into two halves by a single sword strike!

But following that, a terrifyingly hot wind like a hurricane also blew across the sky; even though Fei Peng had severed its tail into two pieces with one strike, that horrific heat still made Fang Qi feel as if his entire body was about to melt!

Even as he breathed, he felt as though his mouth and nose were about to catch fire.

That cold voice rang out once again: "Too weak."

"A mortal is but a mortal. With strength like yours, you actually dare to presumptuously speak of turning against the immortal gods of the heavens? Could it be that you think because you are in a dreamscape right now, you can truly dream whatever you want?"

"Without you, this divine general beside you would still have the strength to fight."

"But now, look at your wretched state; are you truly qualified?"

Before Fang Qi could reply, in the next instant, the other fire dragon let out a silent roar toward the sky, and then a blast of pale celestial flame spat violently toward the place where Fang Qi was!

All the clouds were vaporized into nothingness by it, and across the vast sky, one could only see two fire dragons burning with glazed white flames, ascending to the heavens and plunging to the earth, pursuing relentlessly.

"Um... what did you say earlier?" Right at this moment, Fang Qi spoke up. "This boss is ten thousand years too green? Then exactly how old are you?"

"Hmm?" True Monarch Bi Xiao suddenly froze for a moment, not understanding what Fang Qi meant by suddenly bringing this up.

"You're already at the age of an old grandmother to the nth power, yet you still put on the appearance of a young lady. Don't you feel any shame?"

"They say Asia has three great dark arts: Photoshop, plastic surgery, and makeup. It turns out yours is the fourth great dark art, eh?"

"Are you hiding away right now because you're too embarrassed to show your face? Afraid that once we start fighting, your dark art will be broken?"

"An old lady already, yet you dress up so green?"

"Are you jealous that other little girls are pure and cute?"

"..."

"???"

Although she couldn't quite understand what Boss Fang was talking about, yet... he actually dared to call me an old lady!?

In an instant, an anonymous surge of fury erupted: "You seek death!"

In the past, which mortal was not completely reverent, not even daring to speak too loudly lest they show disrespect? Who had ever dared to be so bold!?

An aura condensed into tangible substance almost crushed Fang Qi entirely!

But in this exact split second, a streak of sword light sliced through the void.

At the same time, a certain existence situated beyond endless time and space suddenly let out a muffled groan.

The entire dreamscape also cracked open a rift along with it.

Fei Peng carried Fang Qi and immediately flew out from this rift.

"Not bad strength, old lady, but a single sliver of distraction is enough... goodbye!"

"!!!"

Clear Wind Bright Moon Pavilion.

"Boss! Boss!"

An attendant strangely patted Fang Qi's body.

Fang Qi slowly woke up from the table.

"Boss Fang, you... how did you fall asleep?" That attendant asked worriedly. "Are you tired? Our tavern has a place to rest; sleeping here makes it easy to catch a cold."

"Oh..." Fang Qi rubbed his eyes. "It's nothing, go attend to your work."

Then he tested the fragrant chicken on the table; it was still hot. The iced red tea beside it was also still cold. It was as though despite spending so much time in the dream just now, only an instant had passed in the mortal world.

"Whew..." Boss Fang wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead. The immortals of this world were just too terrifying... one was already like this, so what would happen if a whole group came?

It was simply life-threatening...

He had summoned Fei Peng and yet almost didn't make it out.

At the same time, he also felt that the True Monarch Bi Xiao just now possessed a combat power that was on a completely different level compared to the opponents he had encountered before.

Previous opponents, because their combat skills were still in a revival stage, had rather ordinary spells and sword techniques, which was why Fang Qi could easily defeat them.

But this Inspector True Monarch Bi Xiao was clearly completely different.

Granted, Fei Peng needed to protect him and was thus unable to exert his full strength, but she had seen through this point at a single glance and completely tied Fei Peng down to her side, which showed that the opponent possessed extremely shrewd vision and incomparably rich experience.

Most importantly, when facing Fei Peng, she showed absolutely no sign of falling into a disadvantage within at least several moves.

"System? The enemy seems a bit too strong...? How about we just defect to the enemy...? Let's hand the internet cafe over to them, and I'll follow this old lady to cultivate for three thousand years."

"System upgrading..."
