353 A Frantic Battle (1/2)
The Lord of Tian Fa was acting crazy, and had a sinister air about themselves. The shrouded person desperately wanted to wage a war. Meanwhile, Big Bear was leading his squad of terrestrial Xuan Beasts on to charge forward.
Then suddenly, a soft voice spoke to his ears out of nowhere, ”Big Bear, you will lead the first play in today's battle?”
Big Bear was surprised at first. He felt that there was someone right beside him. It was as if this individual were talking to him while walking with him… as if they were right next to his ear. But, he couldn't even see a shadow of anyone's figure beside him.
However, Big Bear could feel that it was Jun Mo Xie who was walking besides him. It was only that he couldn't see him. The Xuan Beast King almost laughed as the corners of his mouth drew back. He couldn't help but sigh after he had identified who the speaker of these words was. [A supremely skilled expert is a supremely skilled expert! How many people in this world can use such an astonishing method?]
He replied in a respectful tone, ”Yes, the Lion King, the Tiger King and I are going to lead today's battle. So, Lion, Tiger and Bear Xuan Beast Kings will lead our forces to battle against Southern Heaven City!”
”Uhh, I've sprinkled the powder you had given me on five people,” Jun Mo Xie chuckled and continued, ”Pay attention, and don't mistake their identities.”
”Of course.” Big Bear thought that there was something wrong with the mysterious senior. [Isn't he being a bit too verbose today? And, how could we make a mistake?] What he didn't know that Jun Mo Xie was quite anxious. So, he was acting a bit off.
Then, Big Bear suddenly felt a cool sensation as pure Qi entered his body through the mysterious seniors'. It cycled through his body once, and left him to feel extremely comfortable. The injuries his meridians had sustained due to Li Jue Tian's 'Elusive Heart and Vein Splitting Sword Attack' had suddenly healed. He couldn't help but become overjoyed. So, he spoke-up in an extremely gratefully tone, ”Many thanks, senior!”
Big Bear's injury was originally quite serious. However, the Lord of Tian Fa had treated him, and had improved his condition to near normal. Therefore, Jun Mo Xie's aura had acted like the 'right medicine at the right time'. And, it had completely cured his injury. Moreover, Big Bear had taken that ten years' dan. So, his cultivation had grown rather significantly.
He looked to his right as he heard the voice speak again, ”The circumstances of those five people are far from encouraging in today's battle. They face danger from your side. And, they also face danger from their allies! There are many amongst their allies who will try to fire cold arrows at the backs of these five men. I will entrust that matter to you. Not a single one of those five individuals should be harmed in any way!”
”Please don't worry Senior. I will do everything in my power… even if I have to put my own body on the line!” Big Bear vigorously thumped his chest.
”Good! I'm relieved if that's the case! You don't need to show any mercy to the rest; especially to the people of the Silver Blizzard City and the Xue Hun Manor!” Jun Mo Xie laughed softly and concluded, ”I will leave now.”
Big Bear looked around in a daze. But, he couldn't spot anything. The Beast King would've thought that he had only dreamt of this encounter if it weren't for that comfortable feeling that had arisen from the healing of his internal injuries.
Jun Mo Xie had left using the Yin-Yang Escape. He had then crossed paths with Long Crane. He had exhorted him in a similar manner. Then, he used the Yin-Yang Escape, and returned after he felt satisfied.
[That ought to settle everything.]
Jun Mo Xie had gained a lot in these last two days. However, he still felt quite sullen. Li Jue Tian had shielded his son. He had openly and shamelessly entrapped Jun Wu Yi. And, the Silver Blizzard City had only added the fuel to the flames. Moreover, the rest of the powerful families had simply agreed to everything. These things had made Jun Mo Xie extremely angry.
[Would my uncle be in such a situation if it weren't for their scheming? It has become difficult for him to escape death! And, this has happened when we've brought our forces to help the Xue Hun Manor! This matter has gone beyond despicable — it has become obscene!]
[You're being so heartless. So, don't blame me for any devilish injustice! I have a strong backing from the Tian Fa forest! You people will lose much more than you stood to gain if you're not careful with your schemes! You think our Jun Family can be bullied that easily?]
[Li Jue Tian and Li Teng Yun… I will prepare such a big surprise for you father-son pair that you will wish you were dead!]
….. …..
Venerable Mei and Li Jue Tian were in a violent fit of rage at that moment. Shi Chang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward in a brave manner. He then smiled and said, ”It looks like Venerable Mei isn't in a good mood today. He he… there's no harm in taking rest for a while. We can continue to talk later in the evening after we've all taken a short break.”
The Master of Life and Death had spoken those words since he had realized that Venerable Mei must've had an unforeseen accident at that day. [But, his words were too excessive. You shouldn't have showered down these maddened abuses at him in front of his son even if he weren't the Second Greatest Master!]
[There's a saying, ”Respect is as important to a man as bark is to the tree.” You may be the greatest expert in the world. But, you can't bully someone so openly! Can't you see that this senior master is so angry that his lips have turned green? He has nearly become breathless with rage…]
However, the event had turned into a very dramatic one. Li Jue Tian had relied on his superior cultivation a moment ago, and had acted in a bossy and domineering manner with the Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun. In fact, he had chided them. But, the roles had been reversed. And, the one being chided in a bossy and domineering manner was now Li Jue Tian himself…
The Solitary Eagle was smiling. In fact, he had beamed with joy as he had heard this. [You can be reaping great harvests one moment, and then you can be on your way to the underworld the next! Just look at this. How did the fates change over so quickly?] He blinked a few times, and felt immense joy in his heart.
”My mood isn't good? Humph!” Venerable Mei heard this and snorted. Then, they pointed at Li Jue Tian and spoke in a stern manner, ”Who said this senior is in a bad mood today? It's just that this loser is courting his death! And, this 'three legged toy' is actually the Second Great Master! He's shameless and ridiculous! This loser needs a good smack across his face. Just see that sharp expression of his'! He dares to flaunt his strength in front of me?! You are a sissy master! How dare you?”
Li Jue Tian became furious at this, and hissed. His killing intention raised his robes in the air even though there was no wind. His face twisted with rage, and an expression of malevolence and fury broke upon it. He roared, ”Venerable Mei, I respect you as the Lord of Tian Fa. And so, I wish to keep the peace! Yet, you have humiliated me for the third time today! Do you think that Li Jue Tian fears you, and won't do a thing in response to your insults?”
Even a clay figurine has some heat inside it. However, this man was the Second Great Master! What could one possible speak of him? He had been insulted to no end. Would he be able to call himself the Second Great Master if he didn't retaliate in the face of such a situation? His reputation would turn to waste. A soldier doesn't smell of perfume if you defecate on his face!
Venerable Mei snorted with disdain and said, ”This senior is openly humiliating you! What can you do? What can you dare to do?”
The man's silhouette flitted, and nobody could stop it. In fact, nobody tried to stop it. Shi Chang Xiao, Lei Wu Bei, the Solitary Eagle, and the others were too busy watching passively to be capable of stopping him.
Li Jue Tian's body moved forward in rage; like a violent storm. He used his trademark skill called ”Thirteen blade of Jue Tian”. A cold squall arose from the handle of his blade. Everyone felt a sharp Qi arise from it, and strike against their faces. It made everyone's clothes flutter, and left them to feel a slight tinge of pain on their faces. Therefore, none of them could help but take a step backwards.
Li Jue Tian left a deep trench under his foot as the dust rose all around.
Venerable Mei shouted loudly from mid-air, ”Well, come on then!” His large black cloak looped around as it faced resistance from the wind. Then, it turned into a thick black mist which could cover the entire world. He then loudly charged straight ahead to meet his foe instead of avoiding him.
The arrangements for the decisive battle hadn't even started in earnest. But, the top leaders of both the sides had already broken into a violent fight.
The situation had become very intense!
