650 The Ambush That Shouldn’t Have Happened! (1/2)

If Sir Bi had known that he was Supreme Cloud for a long while, he would not have sent only sixteen men over to murder him. It would have been Mr. Nian who would want to personally lay his hands on him.

Why then?

When was his identity as Supreme Cloud verified? That would have been the more pertinent question to ask.

Yun Yang felt as if a thick fog had blanketed his eyes.

Nevertheless, he was imbued with a sense of clarity - as long as the thick fog lifted, it would be clear, bright, unclouded sky!

Yet how could he unveil it?

He peered at the Go game before him, stroking the manual in his hand. His brows furrowed and he was silent for a long while.

…

On the other side, Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou formed a formidable pair as they rushed down from the peak of a mountain with all their might.

Ling Xiaozui had Feng Xiange on his back while Dugu Chou carried Heaven's Inquisition, Gu Chaliang.

Both Feng Xiange and Heaven's Inquisition were already covered with blood and had a mass of cuts and bruises. Gu Chaliang could still strain to stay awake, while Feng Xiange, at this point in time, was already senseless, and had lost consciousness.

”Be sure to dash down to the bottom of the mountain!”

Heaven's Inquisition said in a tenuous voice, ”The forest below could conceal the astral providence… If we made it there, we would have a chance to live, and the right to say anything else!”

Dugu Chou's chest was caked with blood. He nodded his head in agreement and then increased his speed.

In the past, the four great experts had plotted against Mr. Nian and the mysterious man in black, Liang Canghai, thus gaining the upper hand; they even had planned to stalk them. How could the circumstances have deteriorated into such an inferior state? They seemed to be in the most unpropitious situation of being hunted down!

The answer was indeed fairly simple. Behind the two men, there were no less than seventeen or eighteen figures. Each was a killer akin to demons that sprang up from the underworld, following in hot pursuit. The group of men converged into a column of air of massive grandeur, stirring the winds and clouds in the sky into fragments.

Along the path of the deadly pursuit, the areas where the sword energy perfused had caused the mountains to fall into ruins and the earth to crack asunder.

Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou sped forward in desperation. Green light coiled around their bodies. They remained unruffled and did not show a trace of choleric disposition in the face of extreme adversity.

The long swords in their hands constantly exuded the air of sword energy, halting mass attacks of the enemy's sword energy. The movements of their feet were not at all impeded, and not the least bit sluggish. Their movements remained natural and skillful, and the speed was blistering to an indescribable extent. Moving separately in two directions, the intervals of their motions allowed them to eventually converge once again.

”This way!”

Ling Xiaozui took the lead and bolted out like an arrow from a bow. This time, he forged through directly at a breakneck pace in order to arrive at the destination at the highest speed and in the shortest time possible. His cultivation base was thoroughly exhausted after the sprint which was at high velocity. The reason Ling Xiaozui dared to do so was that Dugu Chou had turned around to ward off the attacks on them that came from behind him, without missing any one of the deadly strikes.

The seventeen or eighteen men in the intense chase were outstanding. Despite Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou's amazing cultivation bases and absolute power, they could not get the men off their tails.

Needless to say, the other side's unrelenting pursuit and attacks in full force, likewise, were incapable of closing the gap, and unable to breach Dugu Chou's line of defense.

The chase had crumbled mountains and split the earth all along the way. It was a scene of utter devastation.

Although Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou were temporarily safe and had not gone amiss, they were truly abashed. It had been a long time since they had been such embarrassments. It was indeed a disgrace to their identities as two generations of the Unrivaled Experts.

”This is odd…” Ling Xiaozui could still crack a joke, ”Heaven's Inquisition, how could we still be ambushed even we're in battle together? Is this a surprise? What about the divine providence that you always talk about?”

Gu Chaliang's face turned crimson. ”The entire mountain they were located at was full of formations. It's of an omnidirectional, extensive scale that indistinguishably veiled the astral providence. How could I have anticipated that someone in this world would have been able to pull off such a convoluted scheme? This is not the crime of war.”

Dugu Chou roared with laughter and said, ” Human capabilities are sometimes limited. Today, I finally realized that. Heaven's Inquisition does not know everything. In fact, it's a whole new experience to be fooled occasionally. Today is yesterday's pupil after all.”

Ling Xiaozui cracked up. ”Absolutely correct, absolutely correct. It's a pity Feng Xiange was tricked completely this time. They beat the living daylights out of him. How tragic! How awful!”
