Chapter 40 Rebirth of the God-King
Just as "Zanbijia" leaned its head forward to bite the Fatty's neck, a hand stretched out from behind them and pressed down on "Zanbijia's" head.
The fused monster initially didn't realize anything was wrong, thinking it was just another overconfident offering trying to stop a chariot with its arms.
But as it opened its bloody maw to continue its advance, it discovered that it was being blocked by a powerful force, and that this force was coming from the hand pressing on "Zanbijia's" head.
Only then did it realize that something was seriously wrong, and it retreated repeatedly.
The Fatty, Rouyi, and Han Yu, having found their resistance futile, had already closed their eyes in fear and huddled together, waiting for disaster to strike.
Huh? Has the monster stopped attacking?
Seeing that the monster hadn't attacked for a long time, the Fatty cautiously opened one eye to peek. However, he didn't see the monster's bloody maw, but rather the monster's terrified retreat.
The Fatty noticed that the source of the monster's fear was a hand with five fingers spread wide emerging above his shoulder, a hand that stretched out from behind him.
The Fatty looked back in confusion, and the hand—was stretching out from behind Han Yu and Rouyi...
"Holy crap!" The Fatty blurted out involuntarily, startled.
Rouyi and Han Yu were startled by the Fatty's exclamation and opened their eyes. They discovered that the monster was retreating in panic.
The Fatty looked behind them in horror—an arm was stretching out from behind them.
"Isn't that Master's hand?" Rouyi exclaimed in surprise, looking back—
I climbed up from the ground, pressing the monster's head back down, though still somewhat strained since my body hadn't recovered yet.
I covered my chest, coughing up two mouthfuls of old blood, the pain nearly causing me to faint.
"Resurrection, the legends of the divine kingdom are true!" the Fatty exclaimed.
But when he thought about how the ability to be resurrected was "bestowed" by the monster in front of him, the Fatty found it unbelievable. He frowned, seeing my stance, wasn't this just a scene of a wage earner beating up his old boss?
Han Yu was silent on the side. She had witnessed my death and now my resurrection, and didn't know whether to be afraid or happy for a moment.
Rouyi didn't think so much and threw herself onto me, asking with concern, "Master, are you... are you alright?"
Rouyi happened to press down on the spot where I had been shot, and I spat out another mouthful of blood from the pain, unable to speak for a moment.
The monster in front of me hadn't been dealt with yet, and I definitely couldn't drop the ball at this crucial moment. I was afraid that Rouyi's careless nature would cause me to fall apart again in a moment, so I quickly waved my hand, indicating that I was fine.
The monster, which had retreated far away and was ready to flee at any time, suddenly turned back when it saw me seriously injured, wanting to take my life while I was weak.
I quickly pushed the three of them away. Since I couldn't dodge in time, I was heavily hammered against the wall behind me by the monster.
"Damn it, I think I broke a few more ribs." I leaned against the wall, clutching my chest in pain.
The monster was about to launch a second attack, but this time I managed to dodge it, and the wall was punched with a hole.
The monster, having gained the upper hand, began to clamor, expressing its thoughts through Daniel—
"Kneel, kneel, kneel..."
"Obey, obey, obey..."
"Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice..."
"Offerings, offerings, offerings..."
Unfortunately, the divine kingdom that used to support it had long been destroyed. Apart from Daniel, everyone else present found its demands ridiculous.
No one knelt, and no one showed any sign of obedience.
At first, I didn't know if "Zanbijia" had such a thing as self-esteem, but judging from its subsequent angry reaction, it probably did.
It launched a third attack on me. This time, the force was even greater than the previous two times. I dodged again, and it became even more angry and annoyed after missing its target.
Later, the monster launched several more surprise attacks, but I successfully dodged them all. It thought I was playing with it, so it changed its tactics, gradually approaching me, intending to knock me down at close range.
It really misunderstood me. I wasn't playing with it at all. I had been shot in the heart, resurrected, and had a few ribs broken. Even an immortal would have to take a breather after taking those hits.
When the monster quietly approached me, I had recovered quite a bit. My ribs had healed, and my chest no longer hurt, so I prepared to fight back.
Taking advantage of a gap in the monster's attacks, I suddenly grabbed one of its legs and fiercely smashed it with a fist strike towards the base of the leg.
With a "crack" sound, one of its legs was broken by me.
The monster was confused by my sudden attack, and the intense pain that followed completely enraged it.
I threw its twitching, broken leg aside and taunted it, "Come on."
Daniel howled hysterically, "Kill, kill, kill..." The monster completely lost its composure and pounced on me.
This was exactly what I wanted. With lightning speed, I broke its other three legs in the same way.
Only then did it realize that something was seriously wrong, and it wanted to escape.
How could I let it have its way? I rushed forward in three steps and two strides, and in no time at all, I pulled off all its legs, leaving only Daniel's right arm.
The monster was on its last breath. This time, without the help of others, it was completely out of options.
I picked up the Fatty's military knife that had been knocked to the ground and cut Daniel off the monster. The scene was very bloody, and Rouyi and Han Yu covered their mouths and noses with their eyes closed, not daring to make a sound.
After separating from "Zanbijia," Daniel became much more lucid, but he was already on the verge of death. He knew that his mutilated body was not enough to prolong his life, so he didn't struggle much.
Daniel had been painstakingly devoted to the secrets of the Himalayas for more than twenty years, but in the end, he was doing it for someone else—a young man. His helpless and unwilling eyes seemed to have a lot to say to me, but I was sure that his words would definitely begin with "fu" and end with "ck."
He pointed at Rouyi and said in a trembling voice, "sorry, my girl..."
Rouyi walked to Daniel's side. I couldn't tell what her mood was. Daniel signaled Rouyi to take off a ring from the ring finger of his right hand, murmuring a few vague words as he breathed his last.
I was afraid that "Zanbijia" would play some tricks again, so I decisively inserted the military knife into his head. A black, foul-smelling liquid overflowed from the wound, and "Zanbijia" stopped moving completely.
I was exhausted and sat down on the ground with a thud, gasping for breath.
The Fatty, Rouyi, and Han Yu saw that I had solved the monster and surrounded me.
The Fatty didn't dare to get too close, but looked at me scrutinizingly, hesitating again and again before finally voicing his concerns: "You... are you Master or the God King Rao?"
I smiled wryly. The Fatty's question was really a bit sharp.
So I thought for a while and decided to honestly tell them the incredible truth:
"I am Zhao Chenguang, Rao, and Dakan. I am the entire Gakye Divine Kingdom."
The Fatty and the others had extremely complicated expressions on their faces when they heard my "crazy talk."
