Chapter 719: What a Letter of Challenge!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mo Xiao Yao took a look at the silk and was furious, rage and fury evident in his eyes.
This was a letter of challenge, but the contents of it were enough to make someone explode from rage! More than a letter of challenge, it was clearly a letter of insults!
Tomorrow, at dawn, at the foot of the Sword Peak, let’s settle all our scores in a single battle!
After that, I will kill Mo Xiao Yao, step on Jia Qing Yun, punch the h.e.l.l out of Xiao Tian Ya, and kill Qu Wu Qing with a single fart! Hypocrites of the Elusive World of Immortals, villians of the Supreme Golden City, and useless b.u.ms of the Illusory Blood Sea shall all turn into ashes tomorrow!
The decline of the Three “Remainder” Lands shall begin at dawn tomorrow!
I treat the world as beneath me and flaunt my arrogance.
I, Mo Xie, am the only supreme in the universe!
The three “remainder” lands shall become laughing stocks,
and mighty Tian Fa will last forever!
Venerables, Saints shall became a pile of white bones,
No country clowns shall be spared!
Bast*rd Xiao Yao, do you dare come forth and fight?
Descendent of rats Qing Yun, do you have the b.a.l.l.s?
Either way, death awaits you. Don’t say that I had not warned you! I’m going to turn your filthy bodies into fertilizer to fertilize this earth; I will make your pathetic souls into a puff of green smoke and shoot you up into the sky with a single fart! Aa wooo Aa woo…
If you do not dare come, you can go straight home to drink milk, let your mummies1feed you milk till you grow a pair. Aaa woo aa woo…
P.S. This is a battle between Tian Fa, the Jun Family, and the Three “Remainder” Lands. If the Three “Remainder” Lands are too afraid to come alone, feel free to get aid from Blizzard Silver City! Asking them for help to retrieve your corpses is also a good idea. I’m a person with a gracious and big heart, handsome and charitable, kind and benevolent, especially extremely benevolent toward those who are about to die, so I shall allow this! Hahaha!…
If you’re afraid, you may also commit suicide and spare me the trouble of educating you sons of a b*tch!
Ha ha ha…
At the end of the letter, was a whole line of “Hahaha”, arrogance and haughtiness br.i.m.m.i.n.g from those lines.
The contents of this letter of challenge not only outrightly insulted Mo Xiao Yao and the rest, even the ‘Holy’ in Three Holy Lands was changed to “Remainder”!2
This was unacceptable, but they had to endure it!
Outright challenging the limits of their endurance!
Mo Xiao Yao’s eyeb.a.l.l.s looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets. When faced with such imperious taunting, he would be a saint if he could take it lying down.
“Fine! A battle we shall! It’s too early to see who will emerge victorious! Next year, tomorrow at dawn shall be a taboo date for the Jun Family and the Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa!” Mo Xiao Yao’s face was red with anger, and slamming his palm, he shredded the letter of challenge into powder.
“As Brother Mo sees it, if there is a direct clash between the two sides, what are the chances of us winning? How should we arrange our formation so that we have a greater chance of victory?” Jia Qing Yun asked with a solemn expression and a frown, but the more he calculated, the lesser confidence he had.
“Our forces currently number 543 people, amongst which you and I are the most highly-skilled, so naturally we will be the best choices for the main forces. Each of us can take a route, but regarding the third route… A pity that Brother Wei has left us, so now we’re short of a commander for one route. That Xiao Tian Ya has already broken through the third level, so we can have him lead the third party of people for the third route.”
Mo Xiao Yao pondered for a moment, and added, “And Qu Wu Qing can help us out amidst the battle.”
He paused for a moment before a look of realization took over his face, “Our forces have been weakened greatly due to the series of events. We are still beneath Tian Fa in terms of our abilities. With the current unfavourable circ.u.mstances, a tangled battle is of no benefit to us if we want to win the enemy!”
Mo Xiao Yao sighed, “The enemy has the military prodigy Blood General Jun Wu Yi on their base, and the Xuan Beasts are simple-minded so they’re easy to command. The previous battle Xiao Tian Ya and the rest were in is the best proof! If we can avoid a tangled battle, we must try our best to avoid it.”
“A tangled battle evidently will put us at a disadvantage, then the best solution we have is to fight one-on-one!” Jia Qing Yun said. “They have the upper hand in numbers and combined forces, but we have highly skilled experts on our side. If we can force them into engaging in melees, we will have the upper hand! Even if they have that King of a.s.sa.s.sins helping their battle, as long as we don’t have to face his sneak attacks, I believe we still have quite a big chance of winning!”
“We shall see; if we are unable to create a situation where it’s a one-on-one battle, we shall trigger the tangled battle first! Catch Jun Wu Yi by surprise, then in this short window created, the four of us shall join forces to become the strongest killing force, killing Venerable Mei then find a way to kill Chu Qi Hun!”
A sinister look appeared across Mo Xiao Yao’s face as he continued, “Jun Mo Xie is still not a cause of concern for now; we need to strike at the same time, as long as we get rid of those two people, then we can regather our forces to deal with that mysterious King of a.s.sa.s.sins!”
Pondering deeply, Mo Xiao Yao said, “That person, we will have to deal with extra caution! Only then will we have a high chance of victory. That person is too terrifying; even if I were to face him in a fair battle, I have no confidence of winning!”
“However if we were to do this, what if the King of a.s.sa.s.sins strikes while we are dealing with Venerable Mei and Chu Qi Hun? That person’s agility is too peculiar.” Jia Qing Yun worried.
“Activate the human-sea strategy; use the lives of our troops to hold him back by pus.h.i.+ng them to him!” A sinister look appeared on Mo Xiao Yao’s face, a cold, ruthless gleam in his eyes, “Even if they all die, they must hold him back! Until we have the time to deal with him.”
Jia Qing Yun took a deep breath and replied, “If that’s the case… we will be making a huge sacrifice!”
“This is the pugilistic world!” Mo Xiao Yao said coldly, “Even you and I are risking our lives in this battle; what less them? We must not lose this battle, and if even we lose, they also won’t have much meaning in surviving this battle!”
Jia Qing Yun slowly nodded his head, agreeing with Mo Xiao Yao.
“If that’s the case, do we still need Blizzard Silver City to join us?” Jia Qing Yun finally asked after much consideration.
Mo Xiao Yao stood up and paced around, he slowly uttered, “The letter of challenge stated clearly that if people from Blizzard Silver City were to appear at the battleground, the enemy won’t take us seriously! But Blizzard Silver City cannot be sitting out of this battle completely; send ten Venerable level experts to keep an eye on them, and once we begin the tangled warfare, let them launch a sneak attack from the back of the Jun Family and Tian Fa’s troops. They may be unable to be a useful force in this battle, but they can definitely help create a mess on the battleground!”
He grinned maliciously, “Planning to sit out of this battle? How could it be so easy! All the more to drag them into this whirlpool! If the Han Family does not wish to render its strength in this battle, we don’t have the time to banter with them, as long as they don’t attempt to backstab us!”
Mo Xiao Yao continued and his eyes suddenly brightened, “Also, we need to work on the Xiao Family. Gather all the Earth Xuan forces of the Xiao Family. They are dead enemies of the Jun Family; I’m sure they will give their everything to aid us! Besides, we must give them hope! Promise them that if they are able to contribute greatly to this battle, we can ensure that the Xiao Family will not peris.h.!.+ As long as we can eradicate the Jun Family and Tian Fa Alliance, we promise that they will forever enjoy the owners.h.i.+p of Blizzard Silver City!”
“If we do so, there will most likely be issue from the Han Family, they are the owners of this place after all… If we were to..” Jia Qing Yun said.
“If the Jun Family is defeated, what comeback could the Han Family create? If the Jun Family wins, the Xiao Family is bound to perish. We are only letting them have a glimpse of hope in their despair; furthermore, after this battle is over, how many of the Xiao Family could be left?” Mo Xiao Yao said sinisterly.
“Excellent plot! All is good like this!” Jia Qing Yun nodded his head in agreement, obviously impressed.
“Xiao Tian Ya, bring a few men with you; with aid from the Xiao Family, go down to the battle site and see if there are any suitable spots for ambushes and hide a portion of our forces to utilize during the actual battle!” Mo Xiao Yao commanded coldly.
Xiao Tian Ya obeyed, and with a wave, a few experts who were better in speed and agility followed him and drifted out of the hall.
Mo Xiao Yao looked outside coldly and raising a palm, he stood there, unmoving. After a while, he spoke. “Brother Wei, Brother Hua, your brave souls have not left us too far yet; we shall seek revenge for you tomorrow! We shall use the fresh blood of the Jun Family to water your graves; I’m sure you will be smiling in the netherworld!”
Unlimited killing intent seeped out of him and rose upward. A few birds at the snowy peak were shocked by this spine-s.h.i.+vering atmosphere and let out a few cries before flying away.
Mo Xiao Yao could only feel the blood in his veins boiling; his fingers slowly clenched into a fist, and his joints popped out prominently. The desire to battle that had never appeared for hundreds of years began to pour out of his heart. This moment, he felt like the heavens and earth were beneath him, he was the only supreme ruler in this world!
“Hahaha! Fight! Vengeance of life and death shall be settled in a battle tomorrow!” The Venerable Mo Xiao Yao shouted. This one shout had all his Xuan cultivation instilled in it; it was thunderous as it shook the surrounding mountains. Even the acc.u.mulated snow on a faraway mountain began to fall off in chunks, and the rumbling sound was shocking! He actually created a small scale avalanche that only stopped after a long long time!
A battle cry of this level raised the originally low spirits of the experts of Three Holy Lands in an instant! They chanted in unison: “Vengeance of life and death shall be settled in a battle tomorrow!”
The shouts of the crowd echoed between the mountains, back and forth. While their voices were full of vigour and spirit, echoing around the mountains made it sound a little tragic and pathetic…
Jun Mo Xie was already at the foot of the sword peak! To be more exact, he was almost ten feet underground!
Jun Mo Xie stood in the soil quietly, his face full of concentration. When he felt that the energy was right, he made a sharp turn and faced the thick, soil wall. Spreading his palms outward slowly, as if he were pus.h.i.+ng something of incredible ma.s.s, a small glow of yellow light appeared on his palm and spread all over his body, enshrouding his entire body in holy light.
He chanted: “Five Elements! Power of the Earth! Out you go!”
