719 What a Letter of Challenge! (2/2)
”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 Assassins 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 Assassins!”
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 Assassins 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 pushing 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 perish! As long as we can eradicate the Jun Family and Tian Fa Alliance, we promise that they will forever enjoy the ownership 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-shivering 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 accumulated 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 pushing something of incredible mass, 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!”
He used the modern term of addressing mothersThe Chinese character for ”Holy” 圣 is pronounced the same way as ”Remainder” 剩.
