1907: Destruction of Returning Nature (1/2)
What was important was only one thing, only one point: this war already couldn’t be prevented!
Perhaps the Ye Family forces, Heaven’s Leaf, and the Seven Golden Lotuses wouldn’t survive, or perhaps the five skies would face their downfall, with only the Ye dominant!
The atmosphere was heavy enough to almost cause someone to be unable to breathe. If one wished to breathe in a mouthful of air, you would also apparently breathe in others’ Divine Sense…
Ten thousand trees noiselessly waited for rain to arrive!
However, it was just in this kind of subtle moment that one sudden unforeseen event set off a huge controversy, with the momentum of an explosion!
Hall of Returning Nature assembly helm location, Mt. Tong.
On this day, someone destroyed the mountain gate.
“Meng Wuzhen! Your debt’s creditor has come! Roll out and come accept your death!”
Ye Xiao’s voice rolled past the vast sky like thunder, shaking the horizon.
The Hall of Returning Nature’s big gate was smashed same moment that this sound arrived, and to the side, there were eight badly mutilated bodies…
The shattered fragments floated out from deep within in a cloud of dust.
Ye Xiao’s party of one hundred people moved in unison, dragons lining up and tigers marching, looking very ferocious.
The sound of the wind screamed through the air.
Opposite, a number of Daoists’ shadows appeared as fast as lightning with an urgent momentum of hate.
Before they had even finished arriving, Ye Xiao waved his hand, and the extra 99 people behind him shouted in unison and welcomed them. In the air, thunder and lightning were instantly accompanying each other as the uproar randomly shook the ground.
The Hall of Returning Nature’s side had seven or eight Undead Stage experts come out. They were swarmed and surrounded by these 99 people, attacked from all sides, and they seemed to collapse like they were melons being chopped or vegetables being sliced. They weren’t able to display any of their deep cultivation level, and instead just went straight to the underworld. Walking in so carelessly, they were really just confused ghosts after all!
Those 99 people surrounded and attacked from both sides. Their battle formation both came and went smoothly, yet in moments left in a burst of violent wind that seemed to sweep towards the top of the mountain above.
Along the side of the road, regardless of whether it was a person or a thing, everything changed into a fine powder, without anything left.
Ye Xiao stepped on the ruins as he walked forth, bringing Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing along with him. He slowly walked towards the top, one pace one step, moving calmly just like he was arriving at a friend’s home. However, along the sides of the road were completely filled with and reeking of blood.
As the Hall of Returning Nature’s chief helm location, the number of people staying there naturally wasn’t very small. At the very least, there were at least 10,000 people staying there or more, and yet as Ye Xiao’s group of three journeyed together up the mountain, they actually never saw even one living person.
The reason was obvious. Apart from bringing Jun Yinglian and Xuan Bing, the two women, he had also brought the Brotherhood’s nine big shots and the thirty highest ranking experts of the original Brotherhood, as well as sixty people in Meng Youjiang and his hall’s subordinates.
Counting the two women out of the calculations, including Ye Xiao they had exactly 100 people. However, the weakest cultivation level among them was already Undead Stage first level!
In other words, this time, the battle formation targeting the Hall of Returning Nature precisely had a standard configuration of Undead Stage experts. On top of that, they had Ye Xiao and Mo Feiyun, those two super experts approaching the absolute summit, to oversee them. This kind of power, this kind of battle formation… Meeting with the current Hall of Returning Nature was like the pressure of a mountain on an egg!
Don’t even mention Ye Xiao, but the rest of them were very serious about their strategy of deployment. This time was for the subordinates to take revenge and wipe out the grudge, a pleased debt of gratitude coupled with the duty to avenge. This was Jianghu justice, and they wanted to attack the enemy as quickly as possible to settle the opponent. If the opposite side has ten thousand people come, we hundred people will take action, and if they have one person come, then we hundred people will still take action!
This open, fearless, shameless approach used the basic tactics of the weak using many to cheat the few. Meng Wuzhen was intensely proud of his famous Undead Stage military power, but these earthen chickens and ceramic dogs collapsed at the first blow, instantly walking together to the underworld.
On top of that, a sharp and enthusiastic hiss sounded through the air, going back and forth, the sound of the impact especially intense.
It was obvious that the other side had more experts appear and launch their fire together to stake it all.
But, Ye Xiao, bringing along the two women, still walked ahead at his not urgent yet not slow pace to ascend the mountain. Only their appearances changed. The closer they got to the top, the more they appeared cold and indifferent.
The mountain summit had a huge boom of colliding qi energy arrive at it, and the noises of battle grew stronger. The closer they got, the more intense it got. Apparently there were thousands of people operating together to take action, with a vast influence.
