Chapter 725: Despair! Regret!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a batch coming from every direction, North, South, East, West! Covering the entire place!
Xuan Beast Army!
The strength of the Jun Family!
A heavy and oppressing aura descended. A final troop came down from the top above their heads, blocking up the last ray of light and also the possibility escape!
Oh my God!
The eight who were digging the tunnel were stupefied watching the majestic view in the sky before them. They suddenly felt a shiver that went straight from the top of their heads into their *ssholes.
Badump! Badump!
They all fell to the ground on their butts, and at this moment, they all had the same urge: to remove the Xuan skill protection and hit their heads against the walls.
Fight? What fight? With a line up like this, versus the number of us, we wouldn’t even make the cut as an appetizer!
The enemy’s military was disciplined and everyone was full of vitality and spirit; they had already surrounded the entire area. On our side?
Our only fighting power is still buried underground! Even if they managed to make it out, they’ll all be exhausted and injured. And to have to face this fearsome troops?
There was simply no hope to anticipate towards!
Like a widowed woman who had her menopause and losing her only son, there was absolutely no hope...
Just as these eight great masters were despairing, they heard a loud boom from the ground! With their efforts, there was lesser resistance from the ground. While these eight people had lost all confidence and stopped trying, those who were trapped inside mustered their last bit of strength with their desire to live managed to hollow their way out!
Mo Xiao Yao and the rest finally got to see the light again, but the eight who were outside had no joy on their faces. Had these people burst their way out a moment earlier, they would have brought a glimpse of hope. But at this moment, despair not only completely came back, but was even darker than before.
Irregardless of how high your status was, how powerful you were, how glorious your battles records were, right now, everyone was just a person stuck in a rut, a complete loser, a weakling!
Facing a situation as dire as this, with so many heavy injuries sustained, was there a difference in coming out or not? Perhaps by dying inside, one might still die with a shred of dignity, but once they came out, they subjected themselves to another round of insult and ridicule. They would die either way,without a doubt!
The Wandering Venerable Mo Xiao Yao was covered in bloodstains, and blood was still dripping from his mouth. Bruises littered his face,and even the hair on his head was clumped together by blood. His clothes were torn and tattered, and it was too horrible to look at. There was no remains of his aura in the past, but compared to the rest, he was one of those who had suffered the least injuries. The remaining hundreds of people were completely covered in injures, their faces deadly pale, panting heavily, some of them even had to drag their broken and crippled limbs out...
These people were originally still considerably lucky, managing to narrowly escape death by creating a hole in the ground. But perhaps they had used all their luck in this horrificly tough encounter; after they had all entered did they realize it was a layer of thousand year old Xuan Ice!
Even a complete giant boulder would not make these experts feel despair like this.
The hardness of a Xuan Ice layer was extremely tough, much more so than that of a giant rock. This caused them to remain stuck for way too long, almost suffocating to death instead! Coupled with the previous series of impact from the tremors and the pressure of the convergence, these hundred over top experts had used up most of their Xuan Qi.
It was extremely unjust!
Of the three hundred that had managed to hide inside, only less than a hundred managed to make their way ou! The others had lost their lives in the ground below, and even those who made it out sustained heavy injuries and were exhausted.
Mo Xiao Yao, Jia Qing Yun, and Xiao Tian Ya had just emerged at the opening of the tunnel, inhaling the fresh air and sobering up, but in the next moment, they were all frozen in horror.
The current them, as four level Venerables, barely had a fifth of their fighting capabilities. But the enemy was fully recharged and prepared, already having surrounded them!
There was no hesitation in this battle! There was completely no need to fight!
Forcefully them to try to fight was just asking to be ridiculed!
Under the command of Jun Wu Yi, Mei Xue Yan and the rest had made their way over to arrive at the timing Jun Mo Xie had specified, but halfway there, the sword peak suddenly collapsed, causing eighty percent of the flying Xuan Beasts to be freaked out and fall out from the sky and almost get buried alive by the avalanche. But luckily they were too far away, so they only encountered a small scale avalanche with no bigger threats, and with everyone’s solid capabilities, naturally they were able to get by with no loss.
Even so, everyone was so frightened that all color left their face. Mei Xue Yan and Chu Qi Hun’s minds were clear: The Sword Peak... has really collapsed! The oath of the Dongfang Family is broken!
The oath that was impossible to be broken had been broken!
It was believed that no one else in this world had this capability other than Jun Mo Xie, an existence that defied the heavens!
To think, or even know, was one matter, but to see it with their own eyes, was another! Everyone saw that huge mountain laying on its side. Despite all the mental preparation they had, they couldn’t help but shiver! How small and ant-like they were before this huge mountain!
And Jun Mo Xie was able to make this enormous mountain collapse just like that! Unbelievable!
Even if they witnessed all of Young Master Jun’s previous antics, it was still hard to digest this miraculous feat today!
This level of change... how could it be done by a mere human!
After the tremors, Jun Wu Yi immediately changed his commands, arranging the Xuan Beasts and experts into seven teams, creating a cage to enclose the area from all directions!
The sudden change in plans by Jun Wu Yi was a perfect complement to the letter of challenge by Jun Mo Xie!
No one would be able to escape this net of strict outflank of Xuan Beasts!
After everyone had landed, the troops split into two. The Jun Family’s troops surrounded the area while Solitary Falcon, Feng Juan Yun, Jun Wu Yi, Sikong An Ye, Duanmu Chao Fan, and the Dongfang Family were sent to put pressure on the remnants of the Xiao Family.
The Tian Fa troops led by Mei Xue Yan trapped the freshly emerged Mo Xiao Yao and his party completely.
Facing the valiant forces of the Jun Family, everyone in the Xiao Family just sat on the ground trembling, their legs having turned jelly with fear! They had lost their last bit of courage to put up any resistance!
Jun Mo Xie observed from above for awhile, ensuring that there was no room for anyone to escape, before coming down. He had been keeping a tight watch from above the whole time; if anyone tried to escape, they would be the first person he killed personally.
The Xiao Family surrendered instantly, lacking the willpower to fight. The end was already decided, so Jun Mo Xie chose to land on the side where Tian Fa was.
While Mo Xiao Yao and his party had sustained injuries and their fighting abilities were greatly reduced, they were still solid experts. A cornered beast would make a last, frenzied attempt at biting back. It was not plausible that no damage would be caused. And Jun Mo Xie had carefully plotted this entire set-up to ensure that there would be no casualties. If something happened, Jun Mo Xie would not be pleased.
“Venerable Mei... truly... great methods!” Mo Xiao Yao coughed out some soil and blood, deadly pale. He laughed sinisterly. “Such a devious plot... cough.. cough... to think you’d be execute it.. I’m impressed..”
“I’m not worthy. Compared to the various profound methods the three Holy Lands use, this is nothing. Venerable Mo has flattered me.” Mei Xue Yan spoke simply. Donned entirely in white, it was a fresh contrast to the pathetic state Mo Xiao Yao is in. Heaven and earth, truly setting up the distinction between top and bottom.
“Hmph! Sending a letter of challenge openly, setting up the agreement, but employing such despicable methods in the dark, plotting against us! Going back on your words! Winning not by battling; it’s impossible not to win!” Mo Xiao Yao took a quick glance at the number of men he had left, indignation and rage causing him to tremble all over. “Venerable Mei, can you even be considered the King of the Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa? An overlord? Do you think such underhand methods compliment your status as the Lord of Tian Fa?”
“So what if I’m the Lord of Tian Fa? I was just a target whose life the three Holy Lands were after. Mo Xiao Yao, with the sudden turn of events today, how is it all my fault? Is there a purpose to using blame as your reason?” Mei Xue Yan replied coldly, disdain clear in her eyes.
Mo Xiao Yao was so infuriated in this moment that he felt like killing himself!
Almost six hundred experts from three Holy Lands had followed him out, but due to the sudden collapse of the sword peak, almost five hundred people were crushed to death like that!
The remaining people were less than a hundred!
A blow as heavy as this really gave Mo Xiao Yao an immense urge to kill himself.
These were the elite forces from the War for Seizing the Heavens!
The three Holy Lands had lost a third of their forces suddenly; how would they fight in the incoming War for Seizing the Heavens?!
Mo Xiao Yao was not being an hypocrite right now; he was truly worried for the safety of the continent from the bottom of his heart!
When the Three Holy Lands were in their prime, there were never any mishaps in the War for Seizing the Heavens. They even felt that they were too powerful, too mighty, and thought too highly of the grotesque outsiders...
That was why they had the enticing idea of targeting Tian Fa, settling the opponent in advance.
Eradicate Tian Fa first, even holding the Beast Kings as prisoners and using them as a ride, using the Xuan Core to raise their own powers, then focus all their energy on the War for Seizing the Heavens to snatch the glory of protecting the safety of mankind! At the same time, redressing the humiliating saying that had gone on for thousands of years: “In the War for Seizing the Heavens, Tian Fa is the first battle”.
But right now, Mo Xiao Yao really regretted it!
Why didn’t he wait until the War for Seizing the Heavens was over! All Mo Xiao Yao could think of right now was not whether they would make it out alive, but if they died here, could the War for Seizing the Heavens still be won?
