Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1456 Annihilation

Dong Wushang was still in the midst of landing, but his thunderous and lightning-like saber strike had already cleaved onto Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face’s palm!Much like a bolt of lightning crashing down with a boom upon a locust!

A series of thin and crisp cracks rang out instantly.

Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face staggered backward with a tragic scream. His arms, from his palms all the way to the shoulders, had already broken into countless bits and pieces.

After his saber made contact, Dong Wushang leaped past him into the air without any expression. Holding his saber, he pushed forward unopposed, stepping on Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face’s head. His foot pushed against his head and he shot out with a whoosh, entering the crowd!

Dong Wushang had originally wanted to smash that fellow’s head right into smithereens with his foot, but one must admit that a sixth-grade Supreme Martial Artist’s physical body was simply too sturdy. His head was simply too firm and robust; when stepped on, it actually only let out a crack, like that of bone dislocation, and didn’t explode on the spot.

Second Master Dong found this rather strange.

Damn, I actually didn’t make his head explode when I stepped on him? What’s going on?

If not for him keeping firmly in mind Mo Tianji’s instructions where one was only allowed to strike once, Second Master Dong really wanted to turn back and step on him again. He just didn’t believe that he couldn’t make his head explode...

However, this one step of his held extraordinary meaning!

Horse Face screamed tragically, his neck almost broken by this step and tilted to one side. The strong and forceful impact thrust his body forward with his neck still tilted to the side.

What came toward him next was Ao Xieyun’s golden dragon-like sword light. With a flash of sword light, his left arm, together with his shoulder, disappeared with a swish. Ao Xieyun charged right past him, not lingering even a moment more!

A tragic scream was just about to escape his throat when sword light flashed once more. Letting out a howl, Second Master Luo charged toward him excitedly!

Swish!

Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face’s right arm, together with his shoulder, was lopped off. The moment Second Master Luo saw that this fellow was already of no danger, he kicked him in the crotch along the way. Then, with another loud howl, he dived into the crowd, fangs bared and claws brandished!

Xie Danqiong was unable to hold back his momentum. The first burst of viburnum flowers bloomed right in front of Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face. Under his aggrieved, hateful, terrified and hopeless gaze, his left leg went hurtling to the north and his right leg to the south with a couple of swooshes. With a loud boom, a huge hole appeared in his chest.

Xie Danqiong’s handsome brows drew together. With a murmur of “How ill-boding!”, he disappeared without a trace.

Only then did the body of Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face start to fall apart, slowly separating into several pieces!

Mo Qingwu had only just rushed over with her Qing Wu Dream Saber in hand when the body of this great Supreme Martial Artist suddenly split apart bizarrely right in front of her...

From the head to the body, splitting into their respective parts.

The young girl was so frightened that she let out a loud scream. With a whoosh, she turned and went around him, flying straight into the crowd with all her might.

Mo Lei’er subsequently came charging over. Just as she did, Supreme Martial Artist Horse Face’s body just so happened to split apart completely. The great Black Devil Young Master absurdly ‘dived’ through a person’s body just like that!

After diving through it, Eldest Young Miss Mo even looked back in absurdity.

This is really strange. The moment this person saw me coming, he automatically split his body apart to let me through...

I’ve seen many who gave way to me, but this is truly the first time seeing someone doing it to such a thorough extent...

Mo Lei’er charged right through without any obstructions!

Mo Tianji didn’t take part in the battle this time as well, continuing to watch them again.

He discovered something very interesting and very puzzling.

That was... From the beginning to the end, it was the brothers who had been attacking. In fact, even his younger sister, Mo Qingwu, had struck.

However, from the start to the end, Mo Lei’er had been drifting outside of this group!

One could vaguely sense that her aura was tied closely to and inseparable from only Dong Wushang’s. Her aura was ultimately dissociated from the rest. Or rather, it was that enigmatic aura which naturally repelled her and kept her on the outside.

But what Mo Tianji couldn’t understand was that his own younger sister, Mo Qingwu, was included instead. At any given time, her aura revolved closely around Chu Yang who was right in the center!

This was an extremely mysterious and inexplicable feeling!

Mo Tianji watched the stars and clouds in the sky as he calculated in his mind while making deductions. His brows furrowed, nine shiny copper coins spun constantly in his hands held behind his back, as though the coins were alive.

In this blood-filled night sky and brutal massacre, his consciousness was instead unprecedentedly clear.

As if a clear thread of thought had suddenly been revealed in that mysterious and bewildering Heavenly Secret in this instant.

From the start till the end, his focus remained on two people — Chu Yang and Mo Qingwu.

To Mo Tianji’s shock, he discovered that the auras of these two were practically the same and inseparable from each other!

From the start till the end, Chu Yang was the dominant factor, with Mo Qingwu following after him unconditionally.

This gave Mo Tianji a certain feeling — Should Chu Yang plant the fields, Mo Qingwu would definitely water the crops. Should Chu Yang boil water, then Mo Qingwu would definitely be cooking.

If Chu Yang were the Emperor, Mo Qingwu would definitely be the Empress! If Chu Yang became a bandit, then Mo Qingwu would definitely intercept and rob others! If Chu Yang became a beggar, then the one following behind him carrying a rod to chase dogs away would definitely be Mo Qingwu!

Should Chu Yang commit murder, Mo Qingwu would definitely fetch him the knife!

While this feeling made Mo Tianji feel gratified and set his mind at ease, it also made him shiver somewhat despite the temperature!

To what extent did these two lives have to correspond with each other in order for such a situation to appear?

Mo Tianji mused deeply about this. Could this be what they call a match destined by heaven? But Chu Yang clearly had other women too...

Could it be... that this was what they called fate?

Chu Yang’s current bond with Mo Qingwu was basically identical to the one between Dong Wushang and Mo Lei’er. The only difference was that Mo Qingwu was within this group atmosphere while Mo Lei’er wasn’t!

Could my younger sister... be one of the Nine Tribulations too? Or is it just because Chu Yang is the Sword Master?

Mo Tianji let out a silent laugh at his own ridiculous thought. As everyone was aware, no two people in the Nine Tribulations would have the same surname! This was the first reason. The second reason was that there were no women in the Nine Tribulations!

Therefore, Mo Qingwu obviously wasn’t part of the Nine Tribulations.

As Mo Tianji’s hands pressed together, the nine shiny copper coins vanished at once. He secretly sighed inwardly. No wonder Xiao Fengyun was able to establish a foothold in the Upper Three Heavens even with his meager Monarch-level cultivation!

It was because this Controlling The World Divine Technique was peerless and unparallelled, even compared to the clan of intelligence’s ability to look into and control Heavenly Secrets!

Because it could directly engage with the operation of Heavenly Secrets!

This sort of condition allowed him to be prepared in advance right from the start, no matter who he was up against.

Just like his spark of inspiration right now.

It was just a pity that all of Xiao Fengyun’s efforts ultimately ended up in vain in the end. That was because... First of all, his martial prowess was still too low. Secondly, his Controlling The World Divine Technique was in no way near a truly profound level yet!

On the other side, sword light flashed and saber light rampaged. All of them kept firmly in mind the ‘only allowed to strike once’ rule, each of them performing at their peak this time. Amid tragic screaming and crying, the brothers entered the crowd from the front and left from either the sides or the back. Without even turning back, they went their separate ways and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye!

Coming without warning and going without warning; converging and dispersing like the wind.

At this moment, the severed limbs from the battle in mid-air hadn’t even landed yet!

It was only after a brief moment that thuds could be heard. They finally landed on the ground, producing sounds of impact from coming into contact with the ground!

All the Xiao Clan Supreme Martial Artists started to curse and swear aloud.

After this quick and ferocious onslaught that had come out of nowhere, the original team of 38 Supreme Martial Artists was left with only 17 people now. Half of them had been taken out!

Other than Horse Face in the forefront, who had died after being hacked into pieces by flying swords and sabers, being a high-grade Supreme Martial Artist, the rest of the fourth-grade and fifth-grade Supreme Martial Artists in the team were unharmed. However, all the Supreme Martial Artists third-grade and below had died without even a single one left!

This bunch of fellows truly bullied the weak and feared the strong!

If not for the fact that they had caught them off-guard, they could have totally wiped out the Nine Tribulations Sword Master and his Nine Tribulations! But... after regaining their senses from the confusion and disorientation, the only thing within their sight was the stars and moon in the sky...

The wind sobbed and the trees wept...

There were 38 of them when they came, yet 21 of them were lost mid-way. They were still chatting with each other just a moment ago, yet in the blink of an eye, they were now separated by life and death.

All of them felt rather distressed and dismal.

In complete silence, they carried out their original mission and headed to the old site of the Yang Clan to take a look nonetheless. When they ascertained that not even a single person was still alive, they hurried back.

Without even turning back, the brothers, brimming with murderous intent, weaved through the surroundings and converged at the preplanned location. Other than Luo Kedi and Ao Xieyun who had suffered mild injuries, everyone else was basically unharmed.

There was a huge bruise on Dong Wushang’s shoulder, but this bit of injury was practically no different from tickling to Second Master Dong. Despite how a heartache-filled Mo Lei’er applied salve on him, there was no change in Second Master Dong’s expression nor did his heart race. He actually even kept saying, “What’s the big deal about this? Even the mildest injury which Second Master here suffered since he was young is more serious than this! Even a mosquito bite could give me a bruise bigger than this.”

Mo Lei’er was so annoyed that she wanted to bite him.

Luo Kedi remarked in envy, “Sigh, Fourth Brother Dong is just so impressive and incomparably mighty, actually turning the Black Devil renowned in the Middle Three Heavens into a gentle Fourth Sister-in-law Dong...”

Rui Butong pursed his lips and said, “What do you know? When this gentle Fourth Sister-in-law Dong gets angry, you’ll discover that this incomparably mighty Fourth Brother Dong of yours immediately turns into a little lamb that wishes it could wag its tail and bleat.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Smiling, Mo Tianji said, “Now’s not the time to be joking around. Let me ask all of you, do you still have confidence in launching the same attack as earlier?”

“Absolutely no problem!” replied all of them in unison.

“Great! We’ll begin our third attack tonight now!” Mo Tianji took the lead. “Follow me for the third attack!”

After the battle, out of the 38 Supreme Martial Artists who had gone over to check on the old site of the Yang Clan and provide aid to the personnel on guard there, only 17 of them remained. As they headed back, they cursed and ranted non-stop.

The other party’s viciousness and shamelessness filled all of them with great hatred.

However, they came and went like shadows. Their touch-and-go way of attacking truly gave them a splitting headache.

At the same time as all of them were overwhelmed by grief and indignation, they were also rather relieved.

Fortunately... That terrifying wave of attacks earlier didn’t land on me. If their target had been me, I’d probably already be...

When they thought of all the limbs that had fallen from the sky as though dumplings into a pot, chills ran down their spines...

They were rather quiet during the whole journey. All of them were on high alert. If the other party repeated the same thing again... What should they do?

Thus, they were extremely cautious the entire way. However, nothing happened the whole way. Everything was calm and peaceful. When they finally saw the Purple Crystal mine in the distance, all of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They walked forward another distance and finally entered the vicinity of the Purple Crystal mine. In fact, they could already see the lights in the Purple Crystal mine without even using their cultivation. Only then did all of them finally set their minds at ease completely.

The moment they did, it was as if they had collapsed. One must admit that all of them were indeed very fearful.

They smiled in self-mockery one by one, flying towards the mine with ease.

Right at this moment, a terrifying wave of murderous intent surged in front of them without warning. Several rays of sword light flashed in front of them like shooting stars, hurtling forward like bolts of lightning!

A cold and sinister voice ordered, “Wipe them out!”

With a loud boom, the whole place turned into hell!

Mo Tianji’s third wave of attack was launched at a point where the enemy’s defenses were the lowest and at their most unprepared state!
