Miao Wu Ji’s expression was calm, and his gaze was like lightning, sparkling brightly in the darkness of the night. “Venerable Mei, are you truly ignorant of the reason behind this? The reason we’re targeting Dongfang Wen Xin was simply to lure you out! Since you came out on your own, she will naturally be fine. You don’t need to stand there and speak so sarcastically. Do you think that the three of us would become infuriated by your words? Even if you could provoke us with your words, what can you do?”
“Lure me out? I’m afraid it’s not so simple, right?” Mei Xue Yan snorted coldly. “Your true intention is probably to bait me into attacking you first! As long as I attack first, you will have ample reasons to disregard the ancient covenant and join hands to kill me. Am I right? Such despicable and hypocritical means truly causes one’s heart to turn cold! Only, I want to ask one more thing here. How has my Tian Fa offended you so much that it’s become a thorn in your eyes? That you would go so far as to corner me? With so many schemes in the past, as well as this lineup today! The three of you were actually willing to lower your status and band together like this; are you not going to give me the real reason!”
Miao Wu Ji raised his eyes slightly and replied in a bland voice, his face devoid of any emotions, “Fine, since you’ve asked, I shall go straight to the point! You are right; Tian Fa has never faulted or offended us since the ancient times till now! The fault is Tian Fa!”
Although his words were extremely strange and contradictory, Mei Xue Yan understood completely.
She laughed bitterly. “Indeed, Tian Fa was not in the wrong. However, the fault is Tian Fa! Miao Wu Ji, can those words of yours represent the three Holy Lands?”
Tian Fa was not in the wrong, but the fault is Tian Fa. These words caused Mei Xue Yan’s heart to directly turn as cold as ice! The fault was because… Tian Fa was a force made up of Xuan Beasts, not humans!
This much was made clear in that one sentence!
Miao Wu Ji fell silent for a moment and continued, “Venerable Mei, I respect you as the lord of the ferocious land, and since you asked for the reason yourself, I’ve made an exception and given you your answer, since I didn’t want you to die without knowing why. Now that you’re already almost dead, why do you still need to force people unnecessarily?”
With regards to Mei Xue Yan’s sharp question, Miao Wu Ji did not answer, nor did he dare to answer!
He knew that if he answered with a confirmation, a heaven shocking change would appear in the world! The consequences of this, in the current situation where their future was not yet clear, was something even a Saint like Miao Wu Ji would be unable to bear!
Furthermore, he did not have the qualifications to say that he could represent all the three Holy Lands!
The Fiend Blade Saint, who was standing at the side, smiled sinisterly and shrugged his shoulders. “Of course, if Venerable Mei does not dare to fight, please call off your Xuan Beast horde and bring them back to Tian Fa. We will only bring Dongfang Wen Xin away today and wait for Jun Mo Xie to come forward and claim her!”
His deep eyes pierced through the sky and landed on Mei Xue Yan’s body. “Relax, we still haven’t stooped to the level of needing to harm an ordinary widow. She will definitely be able to continue living very well! Even if Jun Mo Xie died one day, she will still be able to continue living to a ripe old age!”
His words were sharp and venomous. He was not afraid that Mei Xue Yan wouldn’t fight, directly laying out his scheme!
“Fight? Why wouldn’t I dare!” Mei Xue Yan’s face became firm. Although Dongfang Wen Xin was guaranteed to be safe, she still could not allow the enemy to bring Jun Mo Xie’s mother—her own mother-in-law—away!
If that happened, how would Mei Xue Yan still have the face to remain in the Jun Family? This move by the three Holy Lands exactly touched on Mei Xue Yan’s fatal spot! She had to fight! No matter what!
But to fight meant to die!
“I’ll go with you!”
Two voices rang out. One from Mei Xue Yan’s mouth and the other from Dongfang Wen Xin’s mouth. Unknowingly, Dongfang Wen Xin’s frail body had appeared outside the house. She looked resolutely at the three Saints and turned towards Mei Xue Yan, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with satisfaction and love. “Xue Yan, this matter is none of your concern now. Step back first; if Mo Xie comes back, tell him that I’ve never been as happy as now! Truly!”
Mei Xue Yan’s heart trembled; in that instant, she’d already felt the unwavering determination in Dongfang Wen Xin’s heart. In that moment, she sighed and called out sharply, “Green Hunter! Bring the madam away and protect her well!”
Dongfang Wen Xin would rather die herself than to let Mei Xue Yan get hurt because of her. But wasn’t Mei Xue Yan the same? She would rather die herself, than let Jun Mo Xie’s mother fall into any sort of harm!
Because, she was her mother too now!
The green-robed Green Hunter shot out in an instant and grabbed Dongfang Wen Xin. Then, she gave Mei Xue Yan a deep look and ran away, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
High in the sky, a huge ma.s.s of flying Xuan Beasts noiselessly appeared. Their piercing eyes flashed and shone through the darkness like lightning!
But far away, six more figures rose into the air, their bodies emanating an apocalyptic aura as they watched the commotion!
Mei Xue Yan bit her lips harshly.
Why wasn’t this Tian Fa Forest!
How she wished that she could simply wave her hand and cause the thousands of Xuan Beasts to flood over at the same time against the enemy! However, doing that would certainly result in heavy losses! Furthermore, even if they could force the nine Saints back, they would not be able to leave even one of them behind. In fact, they would not even be able to injure them very seriously!
The consequences would be that the Jun Family would be completely destroyed!
“Venerable Mei, you’re indeed a heroine among females! However, this Miao has to avenge that sword injury you caused me! Please!” Miao Wu Ji’s eyes glowed mercilessly as his body rose into the air!
With just a single sentence, he’d already justified this fight, attributing it to the fact that Mei Xue Yan had stabbed him earlier! This battle had become about a personal grievance. In other words, this battle was completely unrelated to the three Holy Lands and had even less of a connection to Tian Fa!
Of course, he had conveniently ignored the fact that he’d only been stabbed because he’d tried to abduct the other person’s mother-in-law!
Mei Xue Yan did not say anything. In fact, she disdained to engage these shameless people in further speech! If they wish to incriminate her, were there any lack of pretexts? Distorting facts were a special skill of the three Holy Lands. All kinds of despicable actions were normal and righteous in their own eyes. Reasoning with them at this point was completely meaningless! From the start to the end, all they wanted was to take her life!
Mei Xue Yan did not hesitate anymore. With a wave of her hand, a longsword appeared in her hand. Her slender physique rose further into the air without the aid of wind!
She was already at a point where she could not avoid the fight!
“Boss! Let’s go together and tear these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds apart! Them challenging you is the same as challenging the entirety of Tian Fa!” Long Crane morphed into his crane form and flew over. Below him, Big Bear and Earth Cracker also roared similarly and charged forward towards the Saints suspended in the air!
Long Crane was right; Miao Wu Ji might not have the qualifications to represent the three Holy Lands, but Mei Xue Yan had the full authority to represent all of Tian Fa! It was fully within reason for the Xuan Beasts to join the fight!
“Back down!” Mei Xue Yan cried out anxiously.
Fiend Blade Saint Wu Qian Hun laughed coldly and his body disappeared, leaving several afterimages the same color as the night in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a purple flash appeared in front of Long Crane. Long Crane’s eyes turned red as he charged downwards madly!
With a loud bang, Long Crane’s body flipped several times through the air, volleying 40, 50 zhang away. The feathers on his body were messy and torn, fluttering down.
The Demon Sword Saint Shen Qing Yun dived downwards with full force, smas.h.i.+ng towards Big Bear, Earth Cracker, Monkey King, and the rest. A demonic sword light flashed at the same time as Big Bear and the others’ large palms landed against his body. However, he did not move at all from the impact, and his face only reddened slightly. In contrast, red lines appeared on the three Big Beast Kings’ bodies, and b.l.o.o.d.y red fountains spurted high into the sky.
“Everyone, stop!” Mei Xue Yan raised her voice and shouted.
Shen Qing Yun kept his sword an stepped back, shrugging his shoulders with a bland voice. “I didn’t kill them; don’t worry. Killing them would be as simple as flipping a palm to me. However, this Seat does not like to bully the weak! I, Shen Qing Yun, disdain such things!”
“All of you, back off immediately! If even one person remains, I will end my own life on the spot!” Mei Xue Yan’s black hair danced wildly in the wind as she commanded.
Big Bear and the rest crawled up from the ground, but they almost fell down again when they heard Mei Xue Yan’s command. Their bodies shook instantly as they cried out desperately, “Eldest sister!”
“Back off! Everyone back off immediately!” Mei Xue Yan’s eyes shone coldly. But deep within them, one could detect a deep emotion…
Big Bear and the rest all knelt down together, crying out with sorrow. “Boss, we…”
“BACK OFF!” Mei Xue Yan commanded for the third time. Heavy sentiments shone in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly. “Brothers, please protect my family well… Don’t let them come to any harm!” After saying that, her body rose into the air like a fairy, shooting off into the distance!
Long Crane flew back with blood flowing out of his beak. “Everyone retreat immediately! Do not let eldest sister’s good will go to waste! In the future, we will make sure to avenge the grave hatred we have today!”
All the other Xuan Beasts fell quiet, only kneeling silently on the ground as they watched the white shadow disappearing into the distance. The three Saint also vanished at the same time. The six shadows had also disappeared without a trace without anyone noticing…
Big Bear and the rest’s eyes were already filled with tears. A deep frustration could be seen on their faces, one so great it reached to the heavens!
This was a frustration borne out of powerlessness!
They could only hate that their cultivation was so weak! At such a crucial time, they couldn’t be of any help at all! Instead, they’d become a burden!
“The three Holy Lands! From here on out, our Tian Fa’s Ferocious Land will not rest until one side is dead!” Long Crane stared unblinkingly at the now completely empty sky. Fresh blood constantly flowed out of his mouth, forming a puddle below him. However, his eyes were still s.h.i.+ning brightly!
Will not rest until one side is dead! Although Big Bear and the rest did not say these words out loud, they’d already committed them to their hearts…
Mei Xue Yan led the way in front. Her face was completely expressionless, like a block of ice.
Behind her, Miao Wu Ji stared coldly at her back, his eyes filled with thick killing intent. Was the ocean’s worth of blood debt of nine Venerables and 600 experts finally going to be settled today? The time had finally come to force this Lord of Tian Fa into a path of death!
The responsibilities that the Venerables could not complete would be left to the Saints to complete. That could be considered as having fulfilled the wishes of those experts who’d been sacrificed! Even if they were making an exception and breaking the rules this time, so what? The other six Saint experts at the back also had relaxed looks on their faces.
Although they felt somewhat embarra.s.sed by their actions, but at least, of their two targets—Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan—one of them would be settled tonight!
With the group’s speed, they were already outside of the city in the blink of an eye. Mei Xue Yan snorted coldly, raised her sword and looked at her pursuers. “Come then! All of you can attack together!”
Miao Wu Ji sneered lightly, unaffected by her taunt. “Why is there a need to join hands? I alone am enough!” Laughing loudly, his body sped up, turning into a faint shadow as he rushed upwards into the sky. A violent wind blew from all directions, blasting towards Mei Xue Yan!
Mei Xue Yan’s body also moved, and sharp sword strokes fell like the rain. In an instant, the sky was covered with swordlight full of the gentleness of spring, summer’s violence, autumn’s fragrance, and winter’s bone-chilling cold!
Four Season Ultimate Blade!
This move was taught to me by him! It’s a supreme sword technique that belongs to only the two of us! Mei Xue Yan wielded the supreme sword technique expertly, blocking the storm-like attacks of her enemy. Her heart, however, was filled with extreme peace and contentment. Even though she was in such a heart-chilling battlefield, her heart was filled with tenderness…
Mei Xue Yan’s figure turned elusive, sometimes appearing in the south, and sometimes in the north. Just relying on this sword technique, and her strength as a fourth level Venerable, she actually managed to fight a first level sword technique to a standstill!
The other eight Saint experts watching from the side could not help but reveal shocked faces!
The distance between realms was supposed to be impossible to bridge with just skill; that was how it had been since the ancient days!
But this norm was being broken apart by Mei Xue Yan today! And all that was attributed to that amazing sword technique she was using!
Miao Wu Ji could not gain the upperhand after a long time, and his pride was greatly hurt. Roaring angrily, his body sped up, disappearing from sight, resembling a straight line as he flew upwards with incredible speed, reaching 40, 50 zhang in the air! Suddenly, he flipped upside down and he dove downwards, smas.h.i.+ng his right palm towards Mei Xue Yan. A violent wind formed before his palm, turning into a gigantic palm print the size of a millstone!
The winds and thunder around them actually howled and boomed fiercely as they accompanied the ferocity of the palm strike!
Knowing that it would be difficult to best Mei Xue Yan by relying on pure martial skills, he was using his powerful Saint level Xuan cultivation to suppress the weaker opponent!
Mei Xue Yan was preparing to dodge to the side, avoiding the attack before counter attacking again. But to her dismay, she discovered that the moment this palm appeared, the s.p.a.ce around her had been completely locked. She could not move at all! Even the air had been compacted tightly!
Was this the World Cage?
The Saint level application of the World Cage?
Mei Xue Yan’s long hair flew wildly behind her as the wind and snow swirled. In that instant, her face was a picture of calm. A tiny jade bottle floated out from her chest, shattering noiselessly into pieces before her face. Three golden pills hovered before her, emitting a devilish golden radiance!
Mei Xue Yan looked calm, but a trace of ardent pa.s.sion and desperate tenderness flashed in her eyes. Without any hesitation, she opened her mouth lightly and swallowed the three pills…
Then, she shut her eyes!
Saint King Pills!
