Chapter 724: The Arrival of the Great Army!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Good poetry, truly, great poetry!” Jun Mo Xie shook his head in marvel at his own creation, extremely satisfied with his unprecedented talent in literature.
This terrorist, who single-handedly orchestrated the collapse of the sword peak, triggering a landslide and avalanche that was unprecedented in the world and had also led to the utter destruction of the mountainous scenery, and caused the fearsome Blizzard Silver City to turn into countless pieces in the snap of a finger was even feeling pleased with himself…
What sort of person was this! Wasn’t this too much??
Far away, the snowy grounds were moving, a head popped out of the ground with a whoosh / Then another popped out, followed by over a hundred heads, and everyone pale in the face. Blood dripped from their mouths in a pathetic state.
These were people from the Xiao Family. They were forced to ambush the Xuan Beasts and the Jun Family by the experts of the three Holy Lands. As they were still relatively near, they were caught up in the disaster! Although they weren’t crushed to death headfirst, they were more dumb, and in the face of such tremendous and intense shaking, many of their people failed to survive.
This group of people had almost three hundred people upon arrival. About seventy to eighty died from the flying boulders, those who survived all sustained injuries, and the aftershock killed another fifty people. They were at less than half of their total manpower, since there were countless casualties…
Furthermore, there were many that were still buried under the avalanche struggling for their lives, unable to get out due to the heavy injuries they had sustained. But those who had successfully escaped were also heavily injured; how did they have the extra strength to save them? So those who survived were just as good as dead.
They won’t be able to survive no matter what!
The strongest man of the Xiao Family, Xiao Xing Yun climbed up shakily, his face written with shock at the sight before him. But when he turned around to look at the direction of Blizzard Silver City, he began to laugh maniacally, shouting loudly, “Hahahahah!!! That’s great! What the Xiao Family cannot get; does that mean the Han Family can own it forever? Hahahah! It’s finally all destroyed! Good destruction! Just parting our ways like this, perfect! F*ck you Blizzard Silver City! Haahahah! This feels great! Wonderful!”
He jumped around as he hollered and shouted, looking just like a lunatic.
The other people who had dug their way out were bleeding from their ears, their eardrums having been damaged from the tremors. They couldn’t hear a single word he was shouting clearly, so they watched him jump around and open his mouth like a madman, as if he were performing a mime.
Actually, even Xiao Xing Yun could not hear what he was shouting, but he was just hollering away like he had lost his soul or was possessed.
This was an old man who had spent his whole lifetime cunningly plotting to usurp a position! A ruthless and formidable man of his generation!
If he was not unfortunate enough to meet Jun Mo Xie, there would have been a high chance of him succeeding!
But he was truly too unlucky! To meet a malefic that was destined in his life!
First having his descendants made into cripples, then manipulated to kill his own younger brothers. Even when his dreams were about to be achieved, everything was destroyed by this sudden turn of events.
Blows after blows landed upon him, physically and mentally; it was already too much for him to bear! Such consecutive hits had already made him break down; now looking at his life long goal, everything he had worked so much for—his much desired Blizzard Silver City turning into a pile of rubble in a single day—he finally lost his marbles…
No one else had intervened, and all his painstaking efforts, all those he held dear, all his ideals and goals, all his careful plotting and calculations, destroyed in the hands of a single person—Jun Mo Xie!
It was all over for Xiao Xing Yun!
The current Xiao Xing Yun was no longer that cunning, manipulative, and scheming person anymore. His entire spirit was broken; he was completely gone!
Watching Xiao Xing Yun, who was laughing and hopping up and down without the air of a Xuan skill expert, the experts from the three Holy Lands that were in charge of keeping watch on the Xiao Family glanced at each other wordlessly and shook their heads at each other.
Looking at all these people who were behaving like ducks struck silly by lightning, they sighed in sync. If the enemy were to arrive right now, with their current condition, how could they battle? Even if they were able to engage in combat, how many of them will be able to exert enough fighting power?
The leader of the group of experts from the three Holy Lands signalled to the rest to quickly use the current time to regain their senses. Even if they couldn’t recover back to a pristine condition, they had to at regain their sense of hearing. The feeling of being unable to hear was truly too uncomfortable… After some time, those with deeper Spirit Xuan cultivation managed to recover slightly. While the buzzing sound remained in their eardrums, they could at least hear each other’s voices now..
“Leave these two men here! The rest hurry over to take a look! Not sure how the Venerables are! Hopefully they are …”
Eight people flew over like shooting stars, taking a look at the surrounding. They all inhaled a sharp breath of cold air.
On the ground, a range of mountains fallen over had appeared out of nowhere, hundred of yards tall and covered with enormous boulders. Those boulders that had yet to come to a stop wobbled unsteadily, releasing rumbling noises.
Beside it, there were a few large cracks that were so dark you could not see the bottom of it, clearly the result of the intense tremors. Not a single soul was seen around it; all the other experts from the three Holy Lands had disappeared…
All eight people stood before the mountain like stunned mullets.
Looking at this gigantic mountain body, everyone’s backs went cold.
The current situation was not optimistic at all!
Without a doubt, Mo Xiao Yao and the rest were buried under this!
But with an a.n.a.lysis of the situation before their eyes, all eight people did not have much hope of the possibility of Mo Xiao Yao and his party being alive…
One of the people who coincidentally happened to be there almost died in the landslide when he was after Chu Qi Hun. That landslide was only a hundredth of this in terms of scale, but he was already crushed to that state; although Mo Xiao Yao and the rest were much more powerful than himself, they were definitely not a hundred times stronger than him. It was almost impossible to survive this ordeal!
This was not something that could be resisted with mere human strength! No matter how powerful a person was, before the forces of nature, everyone was only a fart! How this happened didn’t need much consideration; it was just not hopeful at all…
These eight people stood stupefied, sweating buckets.
It was too hard to believe that such a powerful force, a combination of five hundred great masters and four Venerables, all perished within the blink of an eye! It was too difficult to believe!
Suddenly, vibrating noises could be heard coming from underground, almost as if someone was hammering away at the ground…
“They’re not dead yet!” All eight people exclaimed in happiness at the miraculous change in situation! They all pressed their ears into the ground, listening carefully to where the sound was coming from so they could render help from outside.
Everyone was aware that even if Mo Xiao Yao and his party were lucky enough to survive, the air below was thin, so it would not take long for them to suffocate! This sort of rescue mission hds to be done as quickly as possible. Lives were being lost within the blink of an eye…
After listening carefully, all eight of them were speechless. The knocking sounds clearly came from the area near the center of the mountain… In order to save them, they’d have to s.h.i.+ft all those huge boulders…
Looking at this mountain laying horizontally, everyone felt a s.h.i.+ver down their spines. Even the smaller rocks definitely weighed thousands of jin … the bigger ones…. even a weighing scale for measuring millions of kilograms would be broken…
One of the more sharp-witted people suggested an idea. “From the crevice! We can dig our way in from the side!” The other seven brightened up at the idea; though it may be further away, it would be much faster..
With no further delays, all eight people set to work immediately. Finding a suitable location on the side of the crevice, they created a hole large enough for a person to stand in and began digging the tunnel.
Without any discussion, they split up to work: four people dug into the rocks while the other four transported the pieces of rock out of the tunnel…
This eight were great master experts; working at full efficiency, coupled with the soil being softer nearer to the crevice, this progress was very much acceptable!
With both sides working hard, the knocking sound on the other side was clearly getting more distinct, but also weaker… Clearly the other party was burning out already…
The eight people continued to work relentlessly, combing their efforts to create enough noise to let the other party know that they were thinking of a solution…
All of a sudden, the sky darkened. It turned completely black without a single ray of light.
It was just morning, and dawn had just broken. The sun had yet to come out; how could it be dark again?
While the eight were wondering, they suddenly heard a despairing cry from the side that was left behind.
One of the people who was in charge of moving ran out quickly to take a look. He shouted before running back in, pale as a sheet. Trembling uncontrollably, he stammered, “S-sky- t-the s-sky …. d-de.. d-dead!”
“What? The sky is dead?” The other three movers headed out of the tunnel to take a look. They all fell on their b.u.t.ts, and began crying. “D-Dead… We’re dead…”
From the faraway horizon, a whole sedge of large cranes—in the hundreds—flew in neat rows from where the sun was rising!
But why would these experts be afraid of mere cranes?
The problem lied in that those mystical cranes were clearly peak level nine Xuan beasts!
Every single one of them looked full of vitality, their wings spread out large and imposing, their beaks sharp like swords. Their thick talons posed a deadly grip, and a cold gleam appeared from their sharp claws. Their huge red eyes, fierce and menacing, with blood thirst gleaming from them.
These eight experts had never seen so many peak level nine Xuan beasts in action. A line-up like this, the few of them would be ripped into shreds within seconds, but that was not all. What was truly scary had yet to come!
On the backs of those peak level nine Xuan cranes were huge, bulky and muscular men, with a menacing sharp glow in amidst that untamable wildness in their eyes, wearing the expression of predators looking for prey.
The eight people knew instantly that these weren’t normal people; they were clearly Xuan Beasts who have managed to take human form!
c.r.a.p! F*ck! Why are there so many…
