834 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 16 (1/2)
Yun Yang's current state was not all that different from the Four Seasons Tower group who previously laid in a heap on the ground. Lethargy completely consumed him as he entered a deep slumber of self-recovery.
…
What Yun Yang had said was accurate to a point. Mr. Nian and group had exerted the last of their energy to charge out of the valley to the back of Tianxuan Cliff, to a hiding spot they had prepared earlier.
All of them practically fell inside. Settling down and panting, the puffs they made were a mist of blood that continued to dissipate in the air for quite a while.
Mr. Nian strained his remaining strength to complete the formation at the cave's entrance and unable to push on, he keeled over on the ground and blacked out without any further words. No one showed any sign of surprise because the five other men had already lost consciousness as well, breathing stably.
Going through such a massive loss and being extremely grieved and wronged, they did not even have the energy to curse Yun Yang now.
In the small cave, the six of them huddled together as their snores began to echo in peaceful harmony.
…
Beneath Tianxuan Cliff, Fu Baoguo and his troops were anticipating hopefully.
After four days and nights, the endless rumbles and booms had finally ceased. Everything went back to dead silence.
However, the stillness was not as well received as the deafening noise. The army was pale, filled with worry and anxiety.
”This must be the end…”
”It should be?”
”Then who won?”
”It must be Lord Supreme Cloud… right?”
”Do we want to go up and take a look? Just to confirm the situation…”
”Can we?”
”Will it affect Lord Supreme Cloud? We're quite lacking in our abilities – what if Lord Supreme Cloud has to divert his attention and take care of us?”
”Hmm…”
”Let's wait a bit more.”
Fu Baogu's stomach was in knots. His thoughts were scattered all over. His usual brilliance and assertiveness were gone without a trace. He spoke after a moment of contemplation, ”If the battle is over, Lord Supreme Cloud will let us know…”
”It's so worrying…”
…
Far away, high up in the sky, there were two silhouettes who were rushing to where the final battle was taking place.
”We've taken too long this time… I wonder if we're in time…”
”It can't be helped. Who knew the School of Kismet State was located in so secluded a location? No one could have imagined it'd be beyond the Borderless Ocean…”
”It's upsetting!”
”Young brother mustn't have anything happen to him, please don't…”
”Less nonsense now. Let's move faster…”
…
About two thousand miles away from Tianxuan Cliff, a white-gowned silhouette was also speeding towards the same location, cutting straight across the air. He and his sword were rumbling through the sky, tens of thousands of feet covered in a flash.
This person was the long-awaited Jun Moyan.
Yutang's dispersed men had finally found him and persuaded the Unrivaled Swordsman to partake in the Tianxuan Cliff battle.
What moved Jun Moyan was not the war between Yutang and Ziyou. It was another fortuity, a fate between him and Yun Yan whom no others knew about.
”Yun Yang is Supreme Cloud.”
”So Supreme Cloud is that child Old Dugu spoke of back then.”
”No wonder Supreme Cloud did what he did in Zilong City previously…”
”I didn't manage to rescue Old Dugu in time. Today, I must save his son.”
”Even if it's the Four Seasons Tower, there's no two ways about this.”
It was too bad that when Jun Moyan received the news, it was already rather late. The battle at Tianxuan Cliff had begun some ten days before!
Jun Moyan embarked on his journey in distress and without rest. Finally, he was approaching his destination. Staring at the looming venue, he sped up even more.
