823 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 5 (1/2)
As Mr. Nian finished his words and waited for the group's response, there was no answer; they opted for silence, thus allowing the quietness to permeate the vicinity.
All nineteen people were mute. Their expressions were blank as well; some were pale while some were stern. No longer was there one who looked at ease. After some time, someone finally spoke.
”According to the information we've gathered, we can come to a conclusion. Yun Yang's saber isn't only exceptionally sharp beyond comparison, it can elongate and retract at will. Such a characteristic is a challenge for our defenses! Our weapons are the crème of the crop but engaged with his saber, our weaponry can, at most hold, out for an instant before being sacrificed. This aspect alone is already an incredible challenge to resolve!”
A man whose chest was drenched in blood stood up to say, ”I have more right to speak about this. Yun Yang's actual cultivation base is masterly, but it's still an individual's power. With his treasured saber though, his combat power is raised several times higher. We really can't compete with his blade's magnificence if we were to challenge Yun Yang. A careless move means our own execution. If we don't find a solution to this, I don't see any chance for us to win!”
”We don't even know and aren't even sure how many times our weapons can collide against that treasured saber before it gives way. This is what we call competing skills at the tip of blades, I guess!”
”Not only is Yun Yang a challenge beyond our expectations, but he is also even scarier than Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou combined. Based on our abilities, even if we go alone against the two generations of Unrivaled Experts, we can stand up to them for a while, despite there being no chance of a lucky escape anyway. However, when we went up against Yun Yang, we could barely get the room to fight him off.”
”Besides, Yun Yang's personal cultivation base level is unusually substantial. We have just made two bouts earlier, but his power, combat force and explosive strength were all comparable to that of a leader's level. Honestly, even without the saber with him, he's not at all weaker than Ling Xiaozui back in the day. The combat power he displays now may very well yet to be his maximum potential. Nobody knows how many percent of capability Yun Yang had unleashing earlier; seventy percent, ninety percent, a hundred percent or even just fifty percent!”
”Another aspect that also can't be overlooked is the sophisticated saber truth used by Yun Yang. It's the most sublime move I've seen my entire life. His forms and styles may be second to none in this world!”
”Combining these three advantages – based on his dominating cultivation base, supported by his unparalleled treasured saber and complemented by his eminent form, the level of danger Yun Yang poses alone is up to par with three men of Ling Xiaozui's capabilities added together!”
The person sighed deeply. ”Our leader's previous qualms are totally right. It is we who have underestimated the enemy. The current situation… it's not that I'm applauding others and putting ourselves down, I'm just speaking from the heart. If we don't come up with a surprise plan in this battle, there's more than eighty percent chance of success should Yun Yang wish to escape unscathed. On the other hand, we…”
He paused abruptly here and did not continue but everyone understood the unspoken message.
The current situation was that Yun Yang could leave if he wanted to and they would not have too much confidence to block his escape. Even if the battle proceeded to its climax, Yun Yang could come and go as he wished to ensure his safety. Even if he did not win this time, there were opportunities for him to try again. Instead, not only would the Four Seasons Tower suffer immense damage, they would not even be able to secure the battle and warrant the outcome they wanted.
This end was not to their liking, but it was the most likely scenario.
Everyone's expression was darkening with time.
Before Yun Yang came, before the battle pulled its curtain open, everyone within the Four Seasons Tower was brimming with confidence. All of them thought that the exposure of Yun Yang's identity had forced him to opt for the final battle out of necessity; it was the doing of the situation, the worst option there was due to the lack of choices. Victory was fully in their grip!
