761 Fight to the Last Breath! (1/2)
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 brimming 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 mass 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 bastards 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!
