819 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 1 (1/2)
There were faint, distant sighs emerging from the midst of the dark forest.
A few silhouettes in yellow emerged again, carrying the remains of the six corpses into the Temple of Nine Supremes to be properly dealt with.
One of them sniggered the moment he emerged from the temple gates. ”Lord Supreme Cloud, you clearly live up to your reputation as Supreme Wit with your arsenal of ingenious attacks. That saber you wield is truly, wondrously, unusual — it has certainly assisted you greatly.”
In other words, he was simply accusing that Yun Yang could easily eliminate the seven men by exploiting the power of his queer weapon. He was hoping that Yun Yang would lose his head due to the massive victory and cast the weapon aside from the rash impulsiveness of his youth — that would certainly be too easy for them if that happened!
However, Yun Yang merely replied, ”This battle — our final, fatal exchange — was instigated by me. Facing a situation where I am clearly outnumbered, do you think I'd come totally unprepared? Having such a fine weapon is merely just my luck; with such accusations, are you doubting your own leader and his stance about fairness?”
Yun Yang's response was merely using his own words against him. You attempted to shake my mind by accusing that my victory was due to my fine weapon, then I will incite conflict in your mind by claiming you doubt your own leader's judgment. Let's see who will be the one to cave in first!
”There is no need to spout nonsense and incite dispute within our ranks, Supreme Cloud. I've had my fair share of these life and death matters over the years. However, the blood feud is still very much present and vivid before us, and this needs to be repaid one way or another.”
Yun Yang sneered. ”The blood feud still exists and vivid before us? That's a good one — I am doing exactly as you said.”
”It's a shame that that's the luckiest shot you could get with your ultimate technique, Lord Supreme Cloud. I hope that my lord will be blessed with such luck again, or it will be a total disaster for you — your blood shall paint our grounds.”
With a disdainful snort, that person slipped into the dense forest in a flash.
The ground was covered in patches and splatters of blood, yet once again, there were only two people alive — Ji Lingxi and Yun Yang.
However, they both knew this was the real moment the final battle would commence.
Mr. Nian had used seven lives in that fight earlier to forewarn his men lest they persist in underestimating Yun Yang.
This outcome was greatly caused by Spring Bearer's dissatisfaction. However, ultimately, if he had not sent men to gauge the situation by trying it out themselves, they would not have been contented. After all, although Yun Yang's cultivation base might have progressed a lot, and his strength might have seemed impressive, there were not enough significant achievements to prove his prowess. Besides, he was presently caught in the spirit restraining formation, so he should not have had the chance to unleash those seemingly remarkable abilities of his — it was perfectly logical for him to be taken lightly.
However, if they simply ambushed Yun Yang with the mentality of dealing with a novice, Yun Yang and Mr. Nian could confirm a single fact; whether or not Yun Yang could survive this endgame was up to fate itself, but the losses the Four Seasons Tower would incur amongst themselves will definitely exceed far more than a mere seven men!
The slightest misstep would cause the total annihilation of the Four Seasons Tower's pinnacle forces!
On the surface, it seemed like the Four Seasons Tower had inevitably suffered the loss of seven experts. However, that had stopped the rest of them from underestimating him further!
Everything comes with a cost — it was a worthy sacrifice!
No matter who it was that would face Supreme Cloud now, they would definitely not deal with him using normal means.
Now, the men of the Four Seasons Tower were aware that Yun Yang was a world-renowned expert, surpassing even Ling Xiaozui's reputation from the early years!
The situation before them was clear; although his first move was successful, Yun Yang had used a mysterious saber unfamiliar to all and had attacked when least expected; yet, even when the three men banded together at the later stage, Yun Yang could still suppress their forces firmly, and had the entire situation under his control!
Furthermore, even after tearing down three men, Yun Yang did not suffer the slightest sign of injuries — he was not even out of breath!
This meant that even in that fight earlier, Yun Yang had limited the usage of his Mystical Qi. Although it was not particularly little, it would still have a limited impact on the following battles!
