Chapter 821: The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff (3)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sword stabbed right at her heart!

As the man succeeded in his assault, disbelief colored him. ‘This - this girl’s actual cultivation base is much higher than mine, but it’s just a lack of combat experience. How can she allow me to stab right at her heart without even attempting to protect herself?’

He had only managed to carry his thoughts to this point because the moment his sword pierced Ji Lingxi’s heart, the crimson glare appeared as expected.

The powerful repercussion lashed back in a furious counterattack.

His sword disintegrated into dust with a soft pop. As the red glare swept over him, the man was astounded, quickly withdrawing to avoid the beam as much as he could. It was too bad that the crimson beam had come too fast - at least, it was faster than he had imagined.

A tidal wave of energy came into contact with his hand. The man felt his right hand, that could have strangled a tiger, vanish without any room for rebuff. Yes, it had simply disappeared! He could not even feel the searing pain in time.

As the man’s hand was smashed instantly, the red light did not stop there, catching up to him. The man was flung away, but he finally could react in time, roaring hoarsely to warn his companions, “Something’s up with this girl! There’s a backlash…”

Before he could finish his words, he was already tens of thousands of miles away, hurled forth by the crimson light. As expected, he was dismembered as well, dying without an intact body.

The other two attackers watched with wide eyes how another one of their comrades had been flung away without a reason and died a pitiful, pulverized death. Both of them shuddered with goosebumps racking through them as they faced such a bizarre situation.

What was going on? How could two of their brothers whom they had known for thousands of years fly away so rapidly and die so horribly? They had never seen something so peculiar in their lives!

One person hacked his sword at the girl’s neck and was killed by the repercussion; another person stabbed his sword into the girl’s heart and was again, killed by the repercussion! No matter how they looked at the case, it was simply too mystical! They were equally shocked.

Describing the battle in words was troublesome and lengthy, but the actual process was completed with the snap of a finger, already happening in the blink of an eye; passed, gone, ended completely.

The enemies disappeared in the thick fog, withdrawing themselves from the fight.

Immediately, the wavering fog calmed down.

Yun Yang retracted his Divine Edge from the thick fog and saw a line of blood slowly dripping down from the blade without surprise. Almost instantly, the saber recovered its pristine state again, glowing iridescently like spring amidst the mist.

Somewhere along the way, Ji Lingxi had come to his side. Looking at the saber in Yun Yang’s hand, she muttered, “The legend has it that some treasured sabers possess the mystical ability to automatically absorb the fog in places like this. I don’t know if it’s true. Can this saber of yours do that?”

Staring at the untainted blade that was glowing brighter in the dense mist, Yun Yang answered faintly, “This saber has such mystical ability, but this fog is produced by formations. Even if the saber could absorb it, the fog is being continuously produced. Single-handedly absorbing it doesn’t garner much effect.”

“However, this saber has greater uses in this fog.”

Yun Yang chuckled softly.

“There’s a total of eight people in this round of ambush, am I right?” Ji Lingxi asked fervently, “How many did you kill?”

Yun Yang coughed and carefully recalled, answering, “It seems like two were injured… but they escaped. Their abilities are remarkable and their timing is appropriate too. It’s not easy to kill them.”

“How is it not? I killed two without any effort.” Ji Lingxi chortled. Her implied meaning was “You didn’t kill even one and I killed two people without much work. This sense of achievement is overwhelming indeed!”

With another cough, Yun Yang questioned, “Really, without any effort? Is it not true that you didn’t kill them with your own hands but used the red light’s backlash instead?”

His tone was questioning but he was actually affirming the fact in a straightforward manner.

Ji Lingxi scoffed and stood with her arms against her back. Her chin was tilted up as she spoke distantly, “The process has never mattered to me when I do things. In this life of mine, I’m concerned by only the results. Enemies are dead, I didn’t use any effort. This is the reality - undeniable reality. The rest of it isn’t up for discussion!”

What vehement reasoning - how difficult it was to argue with her!

Yun Yang had no more energy to quarrel, having only the impulse to grab the girl and swat her rear end. It was just a thought anyway. He was incapable of making it come true. After all, the crimson glare’s brute impartiality was not at all forgiving when it came to him.

Fiancé? Lover? It was still merciless! After all, this boy was the biggest foe of the man who implemented the red beam. A fair piglet who had the luck of having the greatest feat, how dare he criticize the girl and the crimson glare when he was the one who was incapable!

On the other side, no one from the Four Seasons Tower stayed to wait at where they had originally planned to ambush the couple. They had all gone to gather at a hidden location.

A few of them were aghast; their expressions more upset than the rest. The two who were wounded looked slightly better; they looked beaten, but their will to fight was still burning. As for the other two men who were unscathed, their faces were paler than the dead. Terror painted their gazes, like birds who were frightened by arrows.

Dead silence permeated the secret valley.

When the group looked towards Mr. Nian, their gazes were evasive.

Mr. Nian stared at the nineteen people in front of him, staying silent for a moment, before he said, “Who else thinks that Supreme Cloud is only a shell of his reputation now? Anyone who still thinks that Supreme Cloud can be easily killed, do stand up.”

No one made a sound.

Supreme Cloud’s only reliance was his various nature manifestations while he himself was a layman of battles. This recognition that his ability was lacking had long become a thing of the past after this round of battle.

Mr. Nian stood up with arms resting on his back as he spoke faintly. “Then, who else thinks that he has the capability to fight alone - please stand up and go challenge Supreme Cloud. This respected one would love to see it happen. I shall send you away with a delighted heart.”

There was still no one who made a move.

Everyone present knew about Yun Yang’s abilities now and he was even complemented by a nonpareil blade. What was the difference between fighting him alone and committing suicide?

“The reputable name of Yutang’s Supreme Cloud blares across the world! Becoming one of the Nine Supremes when he had just turned an adult, he has influenced Tianxuan’s state and easily affected the world. He has always been one to spout ideas and strategies among the Nine Supremes - the Supreme Wit of the Nine Supremes. His planning and deductions lead to victory thousands of miles away. It can be said that Supreme Cloud, alone, has contributed to half of the intimidating reputation the Nine Supremes established along the way, or even more,” Mr. Nian said softly.

“When the Nine Supremes were still here, maybe Supreme Earth’s strategies were paramount, but Supreme Cloud’s role is still not to be overlooked.”

“For so long and across the world, no one can find out their real identities. If it were solely based on Supreme Earth, how could he come up with such a well-rounded system? Think about it - is Supreme Cloud’s repute as Supreme Wit an exaggerated rumor or does he live up to the fame fully?”

“As the Four Seasons Tower subdues the world by force, the men who lurked in Yutang, whether in the imperial administration, the martial world, the palace, the imperial court, all have extremely discreet identities. How did Supreme Cloud find them all?”
