Chen Chong was even more astonished. He suddenly charged in the direction of Chi Tian Feng and the rest at a high speed!
The only choice left for them was to gather together and face the threat as one! Only then would they have a slight chance of survival!
Whether they were defeated relied all on this! They would rather be beaten to death than scared to death!!
That would really be too humiliating!
The four Saints united together once again. They all had the same thought: <i>As a Saint, how could we get chased around by others like a stray dog?! Even if we die, we must at least die with dignity!</i>
<i>Let’s risk it all!</i>
The four of themnded and turned at the same time, preparing to face that brilliant sword light even at the cost of their life. The four were even mentally prepared to get killed instantly, but suddenly, they found out that there was nothing! As if that dazzling, murderous sword light had never appeared the first time!
“F*ck! What does this bastard mean by this? If he wants to kill us, why doesn’t he just get it over with?! What purpose is there in toying with us repeatedly like this?! I’m really going to be driven mad to my grave!” Cui Chang He spat.
“Looks like this person’s intentions is to toy with us till we’re dead! A game of cat and mouse! This person is truly vicious, so much so that it’s intolerable!” Chen Chong sighed and asked, “How are your conditions? How much strength do you still have reserved?”
Chi Tian Feng hesitated for a moment before replying. “In that wave of fire attack earlier, we only ran at high speeds, using some Xuan Qi, but it wasn’t a considerable loss. But this old man suffered the bacsh of my Xuan Qi and got crushed by that ice mountain, having been caught unprepared. Now I still have around 80 percent of my strength reserved, so it may not be entirely impossible to put up a fight...”
Sa Qing Liu looked at Chen Chong with a little bit of hostility in his eyes. “I’m the same as boss.”
Cui Chang He nodded his head to indicate that it was the same for him.
Chen Chong heaved a sigh of relief. “I have also reserved more than 80 percent of my strength; perhaps it is still not enough, but there is a chance to make it through!”
The trio nodded their head in agreement, an awfully serious expression on their faces.
“The current priority is to find a ce to recover and recuperate our strength. So we will be able to increase our chance of victory. At the same time, we have to find a way to call for help from the three Holy Lands! This person’s prowess is too terrifying; we’re not capable of dealing with him! Even if the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master reappears, he may not necessarily be stronger than this person!” Chen Chong said.
“This person is hot on our trial, yet we are unable to find him. How can we avoid him? Let alone recuperate?” Chi Tian Feng asked.
Chen Chong frowned. The four of them discussed for a while. Then, at the same time, they flew into the mountains at a high speed like a shooting star!
Faced with the speed of this mysterious person, staying in a t in like this was the same as waiting for the other party toe and beat them up! Only by entering the mountains and using theplicated topography to their discretion would give them a chance at victory!
As expected, it seemed like that person in the shadows was getting a little anxious from their act of entering the mountains! As if he was unable to determine their next course of action, he immediately used an incisive series of attacks. Tens of thousands of long swords formed into a milky way in the sky, chasing after them!
There was no doubt that this sword attack was powerful, and even with their powers, none of the four Saints dared to take it on. But they were all delighted!<i>As expected, this vicious old fellow is worried that it’ll be difficult to find us after we enter theplicated terrains of the mountain!</i>
The four couldn’t help but feel more energized when they saw that their scheme was effective. Completely ignoring the sword lights behind them, they ran towards the mountains like their lives depends on it!
They kept running until they reached the mountainside. Chen Chong, being the strongest, took the lead and ran right into a ce! There was a dent in the walls of the mountain here! Forming a cave! Above was a solid mountain body, and there was only one entrance and exit! And the opposite side was a deep valley! Regardless whether the enemy used a fire attack or water attack, it would bepletely useless in here!
It was the best location!
Chi Tian Feng and the rest were full of praise for this ce!
Chen Chong said, “Now, the four of us shall take turns to stand guard and recover our strength as quickly as possible! We shall leave one person. Regardless of how powerful the opponent is, as long as they try to enter this ce, that person shall try their best to stop him! Only with some buffer time, shall we be able to join forces and attack! It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t arrive, but if he tries to invade, it would be best for everyone to unite as one and force him to fall into the deep valley!”
Sa Qing Liu finallyughed. “Great scheme. Boss Chen is truly full of wicked ideas!”
For the sake of expressing his sincerity in working together, naturally for the first wave, it was up to Chen Chong to stand guard while Chi Tian Feng and the rest recuperated. Chen Chong was the strongest amongst all of them, so naturally, it was safer with his protection.
At this time, dawn had not broken yet!
Chen Chong stood at the cave entrance with his sword. His spiritual sense oozed out, epassing the entire cave and the surroundings in a radius of thirty <i>zhang </i>! He was confident that with such an advantageous topography, even if an expert Saint King attacked, the four of them would be able to take him down together!
Suddenly, someone started tough from the sky. “As the saying goes, you may have the chance to elude natural disaster, yet eventually, you will not have the chance to escape from your sin. You guys are really good at picking ces. Did you think that by hiding here you would be absolutely safe? Picking such a marvelous location like this! This old man is truly in awe of your wisdom.... have you not ever heard of....the copse of the snow-covered sword peak?”
Chen Chong’s face changed!
That mysterious person in the air didn’t give him any time to respond. The voice hollered: “Power of Earth! Copse!”
The entire mountain began to shake following thismand! So vigorously that they could not keep themselves bnced!
Naturally, what followed was the mountains copsing and the earth cracking up!
The entire mountain copsedpletely in an instant!
Chen Chong had truly picked a brilliant location!
Had it be anywhere else, even if there was andslide, it might not cause any disturbance for the three Saints! But the mountains were behind this ce, and an overhanging cliff was opposite to the right! The entire mountain was caving in that direction, and the four of them were like a bowl of water that was suddenly overturned!
The abrupt copse of the mountain hurled the four Saints towards that ten thousand foot drop! The four of them were about to use their Xuan Qi to escape but were met with a sight of utter despair. The entire mountain was falling towards this cliff, crashing down towards them!
“Cunning old bastard! You are truly vicious!...” Chen Chong could only get this line out before he was buried by pelting rocks along with Chi Tian Feng and the rest. Countless of rocks of varying sizes rained down. Then, the entire body of the mountain came pressing down....
It was an ice mountain earlier, but now, it was an actual mountain!
<i>Boom! Boom.... Boom.... </i>The loud booming noises resonated continuously, increasingly louder!
“Oh! My God! This hits the spot! So damn good!” Young Master Junughed maniacally, his shoulders shaking violently. “You cannot me this on me; you four are really too good at picking ces! You chose such a suitable location to get buried alive! I’d feel bad if I didn’t help you fulfill your wishes....”
Although the impact of the mountain copsing was horrifying, but it was still incapable of crushing Saints to death.
After all, when the sword peak copsed, Mo Xiao Yao, who was a fourth level Venerable, could still scrape his way through. What more these four Saints?
But at the very least, thisndslide had given them rtively significant troubles and injuries!
There was no doubt in this oue.
The difference onlyy in the extent of damage caused to them.
But regardless, the resultant loss of Xuan skills was inevitable!
And that was the only aim of Young Master Jun! He wasn’t greedy about it!
Those unusuallyrge amounts of the Essences of the Five Elements that Jun Mo Xie had absorbed in the snowy mountains had yet to be truly absorbed and digested, despite his meridians being clogged up with it even until now. And although they were amazing, ultimately, they only increased his Power of the Five Elements and had no great use on the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune!
But no matter what, activating the Power of the Five Elements was no longer as challenging for Jun Mo Xie now! And its might had also changed significantly!
Just like when the sword peak copsed, Young Master Jun had used a lot of strength and even more careful set ups to barely make it seed. But right now, this huge mountain had copsedpletely within a snap of his fingers.
This was a vast difference!
By the time Chen Chong and the rest finally got back to the surface after using the strength of nine bulls and two tigers <sup>1</sup> and much difficulty, the tragic and pathetic state they were in was enough to make anyone who saw this sight cry!
This.....were they still those awe-inspiring and great Saints?
Even a beggar probably looked better than those four people...
Their faces were bruised and swollen, and their bodies were covered with bloodstains. Cui Chang He was even dragging a broken leg. Clearly, he was one of the unluckier ones amongst them. There was fresh blood dripping out from the mouths of these four people, and their eyes werepletely unfocused and in a daze....
The four of them turned around to look at each other, wishing to share their feelings of grief with each other.
<i>What sort of sin did wemit to deserve this.....</i>
At this moment, a dazzling sword light came raining down like shooting stars from the sky, one of them stabbing right at Chen Chong!
Chen Chong roared. He felt like his entire chest was filled with anger; if he doesn’t vent it out, he would be driven to his death! He also decided not to try and avoid it. Gathering all the remaining Xuan Qi in his body, he raised his sword angrily and braced himself to take on the attack!
<i>No matter what, I’m not going to run anymore!</i>
<i>Even if I want to, I can’t!</i>
<i>Might as well fight to the death! Spare me all that humiliation!</i>
But reality was different from his expectations!
With a loud ng, the swords met. However, that unrivalled sword light vanished in an instant, as if it didn’t appear in the first ce!
Both swords were evenly matched!
Chen Chong waspletely perplexed!
This was too shocking! Even if the enemy had shattered him with that one hit, it wouldn’t be this shocking!
With this battle, Chen Chong could clearly sense that the enemy had used all his might! But he had already lost about 80 percent of his strength! In other words, the other party’s strength was only about the same as about 20 percent of his own!
<i>Evenly matched!</i>
<i>This... how is this possible?!</i>
Suddenly, an outrageous thought surfaced.
“Tricked! We’re tricked!” When Chen Chong said this, he was so infuriated he felt like puking blood and had an urge to just wail and cry!
Not only were they tricked, they werepletely cheated!
