Chapter 169


: Who Would I Hit If Not You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Vigilante A left halfway, and after Fatso Liu explained a few words, everyone showed understanding expressions,
Eh, heroes. It’s normal for them to occasionally show up for business activities. However, their main job is still to serve justice. For mundane matters of the secular world, it would be nice to just let them take care of it…

Qi Yan, standing on the stage, silently stared after the silhouette growing further away.
Vigilante A immediately appeared at a cliff above the ravine, exactly where that group of people passed by.
Fang Ning thought,
I have to say, Sir System’s perception is as amazing as ever

Vigilante A glanced at the marks on the ground, and found out that it faintly lead to the South. He immediately pursued it.
Before long, he entered a place with rocky buttresses. There was even a glimmering pool nearby.
Vigilante A halted, standing by and watching.
Fang Ning observed carefully. He only noticed that the cold winds of this place howled and roared. There were stone pillars erected everywhere, the flora was bleak and desolate, and the cold pool had frozen over. It was certainly a common midwinter scene one would find in the North, as if nothing unusual had happened here in a very long time.
He could only open his mouth to ask,
Is there anything wrong about this place?

The System replied,
Ambush.

Fang Ning said,
Where?

The System,
You don’t need to know. Just hide.

Fang Ning was speechless, and obediently shrank himself in the System Space. Before long, his phone lit up.
He opened it and found out that he received a piece of news on his QQ app. The sender was from Zheng Dao, who said he had already contacted the Truth Department.
After reading, he conveyed the contents of the message to the System. He asked about the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy as well as the specific location of this place before replying to Zheng Dao.
Five minutes had already passed, but Vigilante A remained motionless, standing still as a statue.
The three people who planned the ambush started to get impatient, and communicated telepathically.

Sina, Kamal, there’s no time. Attack.


Alright, Maram. Looks like after he got injured, his watchfulness has increased even higher. An ambush would not work after all.


I still feel that doing this would be too dangerous. An injured lion is more frightening after all.


Stop griping, Kamal. Bring out the courage you youngsters ought to have!

After the three finished their telepathic conversation, they split up into three directions and slowly revealed themselves.
Fang Ning only just now realized the location of the ambush.
A face with more than a few wrinkles belonging to a rather old middle-aged caucasian man suddenly appeared in front of Vigilante A not far away, beside a stone pillar.
A caucasian woman then suddenly appeared above the frozen pool, standing southeast from the middle-aged man. Her appearance was rather pretty, her hair was tied with several long and thin braids, and there were quite a number of orbs woven into the braids.
Lastly, was a young and handsome caucasian man. He appeared among the flora, and stood southwest from the middle-aged man.
Earlier, no matter how much Fang Ning searched, he could not find them at all. He sighed in his heart. Nevermind frontal combat, when it came to scouting out the environment of the battlefield, the System was a hundred thousand miles better than he.
According to their positions, Fang Ning immediately sketched out an image in his mind, and found that it formed the shape of a triangle.
If Vigilante A moved forward just a few steps, he would end up getting surrounded.

Hmph, Vigilante A, so you did chase us after all. I just knew that someone like you would never be able to ignore this matter. Even if you don’t step inside our kill zone, you are outnumbered three to one. Next year on this day would be known as the anniversary of your death!
The middle-aged caucasian man glared sinisterly at Vigilante A, as if he had an absolutely irreconcilable vengeance with him.
Fang Ning hurriedly advised the System.
Don’t forget the routine I told you earlier…


Yeah,
replied the System.
Vigilante A said,
Who are you people? We have never met each other before, so what enmity do you have with me? Why have you set up an ambush in this place?

The middle-aged caucasian man actually replied him.
Seeing the fact that you’re a strong opponent who shares the same level as me, I’ll let you take the truth to your grave. The three of us are the disciples of the Three Hindu Gods. I am Maram Desan… the heir of the God of Creation.


Kamal Roza… the heir of the God of Destruction.


Sina Aradhan… the heir of the God of Preservation.

The three introduced themselves along with their long full names. By the time they finished, three minutes had passed.
Fang Ning expressed,
I only remembered the first two. I can’t be bothered to listen to the last one…

After they finished reporting their names, the middle-aged Caucasian man called Maram folded his arms across his chest and sneered,
We have stated our names. As for our enmity? You should know very well in your heart! Did you think that we would be clueless about what happens in the Land of Heritage? I was one step too late, and the entrance was sealed by the Truth Department, and now I am sealed out. However, God is supreme. The God of Destruction has already transmitted all the images from his incarnations in the secular world to us. It was you, you arch-criminal. It was you who killed Master Shaz.

Vigilante A replied lightly,
It used its strength to bully the weak and willfully committed all sorts of outrage. It annexed the land of others and had no regard for human life at all. I merely carried out the mandate of Heaven, executing it was an act of righteousness!

Maram chuckled.
Righteousness? That sure is funny, coming from a dragon who descended from the Upper Realm. Do you really know what righteousness is among us humans? Let me tell you. In the past, it only existed in the midst of guns, but now it is grasped in the hands of a powerhouse!

Whoever is stronger is righteous! Maybe you were a powerhouse in the past, and was qualified to act righteous, but you repeatedly resisted four of Shaz’s Killing Curses, and your soul has been heavily injured. At this very moment, it has been long since you can be considered a powerhouse. You do not have to right to utter that word!

Fang Ning felt secretly indignant. This person forcefully distorted the concept. Righteousness was based on justice. It definitely was not something like ‘powerhouses represent righteousness’.
However, righteous people would only have the right to fulfill justice if they could grasp even stronger power, or else they would just be kicked to the ground and laughed at by vile people like these. These kinds of thing happened multiple times throughout history. Whenever the strong one-sidedly committed evil acts, no one would go after them. What would be left were the souls of the victims, faded away from the pages of history books.
Of course, Fang Ning hoped that the number of righteous people would increase. If that happened, only then would this new age continue to remain smooth and stead, and provide him with more things to play with, and more places to stay…
The System suddenly spoke, interrupting Fang Ning’s wandering thoughts,
Hm, those monsters in the past never used to argue with me about this before… This guy is a little weird, he’s the first one to tell me off. Now then, how do I tell him off?

Fang Ning lost his words,
You fight for justice every single day. What righteousness is, you should know better than anyone else…

The System said,
I don’t know that much. I only know that that there are rules and enactments. Evil can be vanquished, but righteousness cannot ever yield…

Fang Ning felt the same. With the System’s IQ, even humans had copious answers to this question, so it would not be easy for it to understand it too…
Thus, Fang Ning told the System how to tell them off.
Vigilante A continued lightly,
So according to your logic, as long as I kill you, I will have the right to say that word again.

Maram grew furious upon hearing his words. He wanted to say more, but his lady companion suddenly reminded him,
That’s enough. The usual Vigilante A never took the initiative to waste time talking to his opponents, but he’s acting the opposite today. This proves that he is heavily injured, and wants to stall for time. He wants to wait for the people at the Truth Department to notice what’s happening here and send reinforcements to support him.

Maram’s face froze, but remained silent.
However, the moment he blinked, Vigilante A suddenly approached and slapped a palm on him.
Yet, a golden light flashed over his body. A layer of golden translucent armor appeared, and easily blocked the palm.

This is the Heavenly Armor. If you use this kind of normal martial arts ability, you won’t even be able to make me break a sweat! Today, you will die in our Hurricane Array.

Before he even finished speaking, a layer of armor similarly appeared on the bodies of the other two.
The armor on the woman was silver in color, and the armor on the young caucasian male was bronze.
Fang Ning was taken aback by the sight, and he hurriedly reminded,
These enemies are not normal. They can actually put on armor, we have never encountered monsters like these before.

The System said,
What a shame. The armor they donned is not physical, critical hits would not work on them.

Fang Ning felt assured after hearing that,
I didn’t notice that at all… But you’re absolutely right, Sir System. In that case, I don’t have to worry anymore. I’ll go see their strength and weaknesses.

Fang Ning searched the beloved game book and examined the opponent’s details.
At that moment, a giant circular pattern appeared beneath the feet of the three people. In the pattern, three idols appeared, each occupying a different position.
They clasped their palms together, and above their armors, different presences emerged. One golden, one silver, one bronze. They connected to each other, and finally, a hurricane indistinctly formed in the middle.
Of course, Vigilante A would not act like one of those people in the movies, who would only stupidly watch as their opponent prepared their Ult…
He did not transform into a dragon to attack, but in the air above his head, the long Heavenly Sword materialized in an instant, and immediately shot towards Maram’s golden armor.
Maram did not even spare a glance, his expression full of confidence. He only focused on manipulating his golden presence and waited for the hurricane to form.
However, in the next instant, the Heavenly Sword suddenly struck his chest. His golden armor wavered for a moment. A hole was abruptly formed, and a few drops of fresh blood trailed out from the hole in the armor.

Your soul has been injured, making you unable to transform into a dragon, but how can you still be so strong using mere normal martial arts?
Maram’s hand trembled. Although the Heavenly Armor recovered in an instant, his voice still carried the tone of disbelief.
Fang Ning worriedly asked,
Sir System, is this what you call disguising as a wolf in sheep’s clothing…
(TN: Original text was 扮猪吃老虎, literally ‘playing the pig to eat the tiger’. It means acting weak to let your opponents underestimate you, so you can defeat (‘eat’) them easily.)
The System said,
What choice do I have, it’s just that strong… I never thought that that Heavenly Armor of his would be only just for show. It can’t even defend against the secondary effects of ‘Like a Butcher Dismembering a Bull’. It seems the cultivation of his body is extremely weak. He only suffered a minor flesh wound. If it were demons who cultivated their bodies to the zenith like N’gun or Shaz,, it would only cause damage to their vital energy and trigger the damage numeral, even if they were to trigger ‘Like a Butcher Dismembering a Bull’. Their bodies would not suffer any harm at all, and it was impossible for them to bleed because of it. At most, it would leave a minor mark.

The next moment, that Maram sneered coldly again,
And I was wondering just how amazing you were, but that’s all you got. You are now an arrow at the end of its flight, a spent force, the most you can do is just cause me such a minor flesh wound.

Vigilante A remained silent, and merely watched him release the Heavenly Sword Techniques alone.
Very quickly, bloodstains started to dot his entire body. The once golden armor had already been dyed red. He looked as if a rude glance directed at him would cause him to kick the bucket the very next moment.

Damn it, what kind of weird maneuver is this, that can only be blocked by the body? They are weaker than me, why didn’t you attack them instead?
spluttered Maram.
He could not understand at all. Vigilante A’s sword earlier had only mediocre power, so why was it able to repeatedly penetrate his Heavenly Armor?
He experimented countless times in the past. According to the grades, at Grade D, a bullet shot from a handgun would be unable to penetrate it. At Grade C, a normal bullet from a rifle would be unable to penetrate it. At Grade D, even bullets from heavy machine guns would not be able to penetrate his armor. Now that he had cultivated to Grade A, even anti-material sniper rifles would basically useless against him. Could the True Dragon truly be so strong that even after sustaining such a heavy injury, he would still have so much power?
Sina and Kamal remained silent, but the same thing ran in their minds,
Right now, you have the biggest grudge against him, who would he hit if not you?

As time passed minute by minute, Maram seemed to have bled until he became a blood person, and that terrifying hurricane finally formed.
It whirled violently, but strangely did not stir up even a single leaf or dust in the surroundings. It completely went against the laws of nature. All of its formidable power seemed like it had gone into hiding, and was only waiting for the moment it would meet its destined target.
Just by looking at its power and potential, Fang Ning felt that compared to the Heavenly Sword Combination by that king cobra that the System killed, it was already quite strong although the difference was extremely large. At least, it had to surpass any of the techniques which the System singlehandedly released!
