Chapter 76: Demon Eye
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
After an instant, the dust dispersed. A youth wearing a white brocade robe appeared, with an icy glint in his eyes. The sword on his hand impaled itself into the ground, and a layer of ice crystals covered the blade of his sword. Below his feet, there was a humongous crack in the sound.
The strangest thing was.
A portion of skin had been peeled off his face, revealing a crystal-like, faint blue gem on his forehead. Within the gem, there was a faint flow of light, just like an eye.
"I never thought that having hidden within the human world for five years, I have been exposed today!" As the youth spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd below the stage, with a demonic air around him.
"Ah!" As the gaze of the youth swept across the crowd below the stage, the examinees instantly began to cry out.
The expressions of three people at the judging panel also changed suddenly. At this moment, they naturally knew the true identity of the youth on the stage, and knew well what the gem on the youth's forehead stood for.
"The demon race!" County Head Wang's face was a deathly shade of white. He never thought that the demon race would be able to sneak into the Law of Dao examination.
"Surround him, don't let him run away!" After identifying the youth, the middle-aged scholar quickly shouted towards the surrounding guards.
"Audacious demon race, you dare destroy the talents of our human race! Die!" Imperial Messenger Qin looked at the huge gaping hole on the stage and carried a grieved expression on his face.
All these years, the appearance of the demon race in the Law of Dao examination wasn't something that had never happened. Their goal was simple, nip the problem in the bud by eliminating the weak and young talents of the human race, hindering the growth of the human race from its roots.
Except, the appearance of the demon race in the county examination, and even forced to reveal its identity, this was indeed rare.
Imperial Messenger Qin clenched his fists and prepared to act.
Right at this moment, a "snap" sound came from within the crack on the stage. Then, a slender hand reached out from within the crack.
It grabbed onto the legs of the demon youth, whose face was still covered halfway with Li Bowei's human skin.
Faced with the sudden attack, the demon youth, who was already preparing to unleash his killing fury, was completely stunned, and immense shock appeared from within his eyes.
Still alive?
How can he be still alive? And…
Still hiding beneath the ground?!
"Boom!" A loud sound boomed. The demon youth was instantly pulled below the ground by the hand, then, the bloodcurdling sound of bones breaking sounded out from below the ground.
"Snap, snap… bang!"
After a wave of the sound of bones breaking, a figure leapt out gracefully from the crack, then gently landed onto the ground. A coarse blue robe danced in the gentle wind…
"Such bad luck, I accidentally tore my shirt, does this count as an industrial injury?" Fang Zhengzhi patted off the mud from his body, then stared at the tear in his robe and sighed deeply.
"..."
Imperial Messenger Qin's lips twitched, but didn't speak. His fist clenched even tighter.
He actually killed a demon?
How did he do that?
Imperial Messenger Qin's heart was filled with doubt. Because, every single demon possessed the power of a human who accessed Dao ever since they were born.
As they grew older, the abilities of a demon would also grow rapidly. From that attack just now, the destruction force of this demon youth was indeed not weak.
How is this possible? Fang Zhengzhi only reached the Divine Seal State, could it be that this demon only reached the Divine Seal State? Or was Fang Zhengzhi's true abilities even stronger than that he showed?
If it was the latter…
When Imperial Messenger Qin thought of this, he instantly rejected this thought. Impossible! A fifteen-year-old youth without a strong family background, and never having studied in a Hall of Dao, being able to reach the Divine Seal State just by self-studying was already the best of talents. How could he reach the state stronger than that of Divine Seal, the Star Conglomerate State?

In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, not even mentioning those below fifteen years old, even the amount of people who managed to reach the Star Conglomerate State below the age of eighteen amounted to no more than a hundred!
"Could it be… Yan Xiu!" Imperial Messenger Qin's gaze quickly noticed Yan Xiu, who had stood up from the spectator stand. Then, he recalled Yan Xiu's voice previously, thought for a while, and finally understood.
If Yan Xiu assisted from behind the scenes, then this incident could be explained!
As Imperial Messenger Qin was intensely trying to reason in his heart, the crowd of examinees below the stage was completely stunned by what had just transpired.
The demon race!
A strong species completely different from the human race!
Fang Zhengzhi managed to kill him? How is it possible that he could kill a demon? Why was the first thing he cared about after killing the demon his clothes?
Everyone had an urge to kneel down after hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words just now.
Could he not be so stingy!
"Fang Zhengzhi killed a demon?!" Li Huer and Meng Jiangshan glanced at one another, their eyes filled with complete shock. They understood that from now onwards, the path Fang Zhengzhi would walk was going to be completely different from theirs.
Killing a demon wasn't something an average person could do.
Every person who was able to kill a demon would be emphasized upon and nurtured by the dynasty, becoming a person deserving of people's respect.
At this moment, Imperial Messenger Qin also moved. In one leap, he stood on top of the stage. Then, lowering his head to look at the demon within the cracks, whose face was the colour of golden paper, he nodded lightly.
Still alive? This is a good thing!
When Yan Xiu saw Imperial Messenger Qin mount the stage, he also gracefully made his way onto the stage. But, he didn't pay any attention to the demon youth, and instead fixated his gaze upon Fang Zhengzhi.
"I can give you a set of clothes!" Yan Xiu opened his mouth.
When the examinees below the stage heard Yan Xiu's words, they instantly felt the urge to kneel down again. Wasn't the main point here about Fang Zhengzhi killing the demon? Why was Yan Xiu, like Fang Zhengzhi, first concerned about clothes?
"Alright!" When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he instantly smiled.
Among the examinees, there were already people kneeling on the floor. It seemed that the thought process of these two people in front of them wasn't something normal people could understand.
Imperial Messenger Qin's expression was also just as queer. But, considering Yan Xiu's social status, he forced down the doubt in his heart.
"This time, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu's contributions in killing the demon cannot go unnoticed!" Imperial Messenger Qin thought for a while, and decided that such a wording would be more appropriate.
"I didn't contribute at all!" Yan Xiu replied indifferently.
Imperial Messenger Qin smiled. He often heard people say that Yan Xiu's personality was too icily arrogant. Today's encounter confirmed this fact, hence he didn't speak further.
"You say he is a demon?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have realised something afterwards.
"Oh… that's right!" Imperial Messenger Qin was taken aback.
"He looks rather similar to us…" At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi became rather curious, his jet-black eyes stared at the demon within the crack.
"On the forehead of every demon is a natural "Demon Eye". This is what they use to communicate with Heaven, Earth and Nature, and build their strength!" Imperial Messenger Qin explained.
"Oh, I see!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Reaching into the crack, with a woosh, he pulled out the demon youth from within the crack.
"Ah!"
This movement instantly alarmed Imperial Messenger Qin and the surrounding examinees.
This guy was still alive!
"This demon eye seems not too shabby, I wonder how much I can sell it for if I dig it out?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother paying any attention to the crowd's shock and felt about the demon eye on the demon youth. It was rather cold.
