Chapter 785: The Hunt does not Cease until Their Life Ends
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chi Tian Feng was taken aback; what he saw was different from what Chen Chong saw!
It was poles apart!
What he saw was tens of thousands of long swords flying over at the same time!
From all directions!
He felt like his soul had left his body in that moment!
Terror-stricken, he quickly made the same decision as Chen Chong: to rapidly travel downwards!
But he had it worse—before he followed Chen Chong, he had already spat out a mouthful of blood….
Although Sa Qing Liu and Cui Chang He did not experience any attacks, that glistening sword light was enough to leave them feeling terrified.
So they both made the same decision to descend with any discussion! Descending amidst their ascension!
You must be joking; if boss and Chen Chong, a second level Saint, have already gone down, how could we put up any resistance? If we don’t go down, are we supposed to just wait for that long sword to stab through our chests obediently?
Thus, all four men descended and fell down at the same time!
There was a small lake beneath them. When the four of them fell inside, they all suffered a devil’s bite from the Xuan Qi, vomiting fresh blood from their mouths. Then, they watched in sorrow as a gigantic ice mountain came cras.h.i.+ng down their heads!
Jun Mo Xie laughed gleefully in midair. Sticking his sword into the ice mountain—this trick was too creative! Because of the reflection in the layers of ice, the more the length of the sword was exposed, the more reflections there would be of it! So Chen Chong had only seen the tip of the sword, but Chi Tian Feng and the rest saw swords coming from all directions, and tens of thousands of them!
The four people had just landed when the ice peak relentlessly followed suit, smas.h.i.+ng down on them!
The weight of an entire mountain weighed down upon them!
Hong!
The water that splashed out reached the skies! The entire small lake vanished, leaving behind only a snow mountain that was neither big nor small, standing in its place!
Unable to avoid, Chen Chong and the rest suffered the impact at the same time!
Everyone felt a pain in their skulls—the ma.s.sive weight of the mountain crus.h.i.+ng down on them. They were floating in the water with no room to put up any form resistance and were inevitably pressed right into the bottom of the lake!
Although this small lake was not very deep, it wasn’t too shallow, so it did provide some buoyancy. Otherwise, these four Saints would have been flattened into pancakes by this mountain!
But the bottom of this lake in the mountains was not muddy, but extremely firm and solid rock!
So the four of them were still caught in a predicament!
With their prowess, even facing this ice peak directly and breaking their way through the layers was no big deal! It was just a hindrance at most. So they did not think of escaping, but chose to face it right on!
They always thought that the ice peak was an attack to impede them, the real fatal attack lay in the last available exit! This seemingly huge ice mountain became the weakest segment, a segment that gave them a chance of survival!
So they decided to face it directly, smas.h.i.+ng and breaking right through it!
This was originally not a bad idea; if they were really up against an expert who was perhaps not second to them, or even stronger than them, this would without a doubt be the correct decision and the best choice!
But the problem lay in when they were just about to come into contact with the ice mountain. Right in that instance as they were about to release all their acc.u.mulated Xuan Qi, the other party suddenly killed his way out of the layers of ice!
Attacking at the most unbearable moment!
Since they could no longer continue to go upwards, the only choice left was to retreat!
But retreating… they would have to bear the backlash of their own Xuan Qi!
Devil’s bite? So be it. It’ll all be alright after they spat the blood out.
But the problem lay in that just after they vomited this mouthful of blood, they had to deal with the gigantic ice mountain!
They had barely caught their breath when the ice mountain came cras.h.i.+ng down on them!
After that, they were pressed right into the bottom of the lake and were unlucky enough to choke on water…. Choking on water—this sort of elementary mistakes that an ordinary person who had just began learning to swim would make. But this happening to a Saint was considered a fantastic story!
But Jun Mo Xie did not choose to go underwater to continue his a.s.sa.s.sination!
Because he understood that although these four Saints suffered from the backlash and sustained injuries from the ice mountain, their combat abilities still remained!
They still had an incredible prowess that far surpa.s.sed his own!
Even though they all suffered injuries, he was still definitely not their match! Battling in that small s.p.a.ce under the water was the same as throwing the helve after the hatchet!
In any case, it wasn’t like they would always stay underwater. They had to come out sooner or later.
Jun Mo Xie was extremely patient right now!
He was waiting for the moment the Saints could no longer hang in there. Only then would he appear and strike!
And he could vaguely sense that that moment was not too far away….
Finally, after a couple of loud sounds, that relatively big ice mountain cracked into pieces. A water arrow shot out from beneath the water and into the sky! Jun Mo Xie wasn’t bothered by it and continued conceal himself and wait.
This water arrow was merely an attack to test the waters; there was no need to be concerned about it!
Just as Jun Mo Xie predicted, although the four Saints had successfully broken the ice, they did not emerge immediately!
After that first water arrow, countless water arrows were fired away intensively!
Actually, the four Saints did not have much hope for the water arrows fired into the air. With the terrifying prowess of their opponent, if these water arrows could bring about the slightest hara.s.sment, they’d be extremely lucky! The aim was to numb the enemy and make them unable to tell where they were coming from! This was their main goal!
But the “expert” in the air was truly not so highly skilled to the point he could ignore the force of these water arrows!
These were water arrows fired by the Xuan Qi of solid experts with the cultivation level of a Saint. Although they had no aim, their might was still considerable…
Faced with such sudden and intense attack of water arrows, it wasn’t easy for Jun Mo Xie, who was hiding midair. He immediately started to avoid them with his abilities, but the water arrows was so concentrated and close that one of them had managed to—very unfortunately—strike him right on his a.s.s. Young Master Jun was pushed into the sky under the immense force of the water arrow.
The aim of these water arrows was to hara.s.s him, and there was countless arrows, all varied in its strength. Although Young Master Jun was pushed into the sky from its force, he wasn’t injured.
“These few Saints are really f*cking powerful!” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his b.u.m and grimaced. “Despite being in such a disadvantaged situation, while holding their breaths underwater for such a long time, they’re still capable of firing such strong water arrows! Almost bursting my chrysanthemum! F*cking bad luck!…” He tilted his head before suddenly raising his guard. F*ck! These few b.a.s.t.a.r.ds…. didn’t p.i.s.s in the water right? That’d really be G.o.dd.a.m.n unlucky!
He quickly rubbed his b.u.m then sniffed with all his might. He only felt relieved after making sure there was no weird scent.
Misleading the enemy! F*ck!
Finally, with a loud bang, four human figures, all panting heavily, emerged with water splas.h.i.+ng everywhere.
Chen Chong and the rest emerged!
These four Saints had never been so repressed and in such a sorry situation all their entire lives!
Even when they were youths and had just began their journey in the pugilistic world with capabilities of only a Golden Xuan or Silver Xuan! They had never been oppressed to such a terrible state!
Today, the almighty Saints that could stir up a storm with a mere stomp of their feet were completely toyed. All four of them! They had just experienced two different worlds of water and fire! This sort of awkwardness was extremely unbearable!
The only second level Saint, Chen Chong, had the highest cultivation level of the four people. The moment he emerged from the water, he immediately observed his surroundings. Just as he expected, that mysterious person had yet to reveal himself!
He was still waiting in the shadows!
How could he know that in at this moment, Young Master Jun was still avoiding those water arrows in the air!
“This old fellow is really messed up!” Chen Chong was extremely infuriated, almost about to start hollering and cursing away. That old fellow’s real capabilities were clearly way higher than the four of us; even if the four of us joined forces, we may not even be his match! Even if he comes out in the open and fights us, there’s no doubt that he has victory secured in his hand!
But this b.a.s.t.a.r.d just has to choose to lurk in the shadows and use these treacherous schemes! He clearly plans to toy with us until we’re dead!
How could we endure such humiliation! This is completely unacceptable!
But what can we do even if we don’t endure it? Even if we want to fight to the death. we need an opponent don’t we?
Even if it’s the last straw, we still have to endure it!
The four of them burst their way out, immediately strategizing a way to get themselves out!
Chen Chong, who was mid-air, took a deep breath of air and pointed. “That way!”
Chi Tian Feng and the rest had always been extremely convinced by his judgement. Plus, he was the strongest amongst all of them, and he probably wouldn’t point in a random direction blindly. Without thinking, they all dashed in that direction. But when they looked up, all three of them froze before turning around in sync and running off in all different directions, cursing in their heart: Chen Chong this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!! a.s.shole!! To have such bad intentions!!!
Chen Chong’s face, which was glistening with water droplets, had also turned particularly entertaining.
Because in the direction his finger pointed at, a gleam of sword light as intense as the sun’s rays, forming a straight line with his fingertip, came flying over like a bolt of lightning!
Could it be that this Chen Chong was plotting to send the three of us to death so he could get more time to escape? He is the most powerful amongst us, if he sacrifices us, he will indeed have a chance of survival!
Chi Tian Feng and the rest instantly had the same thought: People from the Elusive World of Immortals were truly despicable!
But the three of us are no fools; since we are already aware of it, are we still going to become your p.a.w.n?
Nothing needed to be said. The three of them evaded extremely nimbly.
The moment the trio had separated, naturally, Chen Chong became the only target of that sword!
Chen Chong had never expected to be so lucky! After quickly scanning the surroundings and finding a relatively, seemingly safe direction, he never expected it to be just where the ambush of the enemy was!
This was just too ill-fated!
Even Chen Chong was panicking at this moment. How could he take on this unrivalled brilliant sword alone? In his panic, he kicked his legs and flew upwards like a rocket!
The chilling sword gleam behind his back gave chase relentlessly!
In minimal time, Chen Chong had already switched between seventeen different types of profound movements and turned in over thirty different directions, but he still couldn’t shake the sword off his trail!
This sword light was a reflection of Young Master Jun’s current state of mind: the hunt would not cease until their lives were ended!
