Transcending the Nine Heavens-Chapter 1485 - Kill one, leave one!

Chapter 1485 Kill one, leave one!

In the field, the situation between the two sides had subtly changed.

The four people in white robes were shouting and attacking desperately, but they were quite organized. At least, Xiao Zhengyan and Shi Qishu were always able to “just right” to resist them. They did not hurt their bones and flesh, nor did they lose their lives.

They had a great sense of balance!

If it weren’t for the onlookers on the sidelines, even Xiao Zhengyan and Shi Qishu in the battle would have thought that they were displaying their own might and resisting the attacks of the other side.

This kind of situation should not have occurred among the same-level experts, but the other four people were twice as powerful and had no pressure to achieve this.

“Xiao Zhengyan, Shi Qishu!” The leading white-robed masked man sneered. “Do you really think that our Li family is so easy to bully? How dare you come thousands of miles to spy on our intelligence with only two people. You are too arrogant.”

Xiao Zhengyan was gasping for breath, brandishing his sword and sneering, “The Li family is nothing!”

The white-robed masked man was furious and shouted, “Kill him!”

The four people’s attacks suddenly became more violent.

But Xiao Zhengyan’s eyes suddenly brightened. The other side suddenly strengthened their attack, but the rhythm was a bit too fast, resulting in some awkward cooperation between the four people.

This little bit of awkwardness was fleeting, but it was a great opportunity to break through the encirclement!

He shouted loudly and stomped his foot hard on the ground!

With a bang, a deep crack appeared on the ground, and it split and extended endlessly on both sides like a living spirit snake. It made a crackling sound as it split all the way, and all the snow, rocks and soil on the ground exploded and shot outwards!

Xiao Zhengyan and Shi Qishu rushed outwards in the midst of this explosive force, along with the sand, rocks and soil. They both had their long swords shining and flashing, their sword aura flickering, and they charged out for seven or eight feet like they were fighting for their lives!

The four people on the opposite side obviously did not expect that the two of them would suddenly fight so hard, and the two of them couldn’t help but split to the sides.

The sky and earth turned dark...

“Go!”

Xiao Zhengyan shouted loudly, and the two of them rushed out of the gap like crazy tigers. The moment they broke out of the encirclement, both of them bit their tongues and sprayed a mouthful of blood at the same time. Using their secret technique to ravage their bodies, they suddenly accelerated like two giant dragons, carrying fierce winds and snowstorms as they charged forward like arrows shot from a bow.

The four men in white breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two idiots had finally figured out how to escape... otherwise, the rest of the play would have been really difficult to perform.

But they shouted angrily, “Where do you think you’re going? Leave your lives behind!”

“At any cost, kill these two thieves!”

“Chase them!”

The four of them chased after them, but they had to slow down their speed a bit. They couldn’t really catch up.

The two in front didn’t even turn their heads. They stomped their feet on the ground, causing the entire ground to split apart and come crashing down on their pursuers.

The four men coldly snorted and drew their long swords, their sword qi breaking through the earthen wall. A miserable cry was heard from in front.

Shi Qishu, who was running ahead, fell forward like a kite with a broken string. Xiao Zhengyan was shocked and grabbed his shoulder. “Old Shi! What’s wrong?”

Shi Qishu’s eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth. “So cruel!”

Xiao Zhengyan looked over and couldn’t help but roar in anger, “Li family! You are so cruel!”

A sword made of ice pierced Shi Qishu’s chest from behind and came out through his chest, the tip of the sword dripping blood and melting.

Shi Qishu trembled and said in a trembling voice, “I can’t make it. I’ll hold off the pursuers for you. You go quickly...”

Xiao Zhengyan roared, sprayed another mouthful of blood, picked up Shi Qishu and threw him on his back, let out a tragic and fierce howl, and crazily rushed out like an arrow again. He was even faster than before and disappeared into the swirling snow in the blink of an eye.

The mournful howl full of anger still echoed in the air, but he had already disappeared from sight.

The four people behind were stunned.

What’s going on? How did Shi Qishu suddenly get fatally injured?

When they broke through the snow wall, the snow and dust were so thick that they couldn’t see anything clearly. By the time they could see, Shi Qishu had already been hit by a sword!

The four of them saw the sword clearly from behind: it pierced through his chest, went straight through his heart, and came out from his chest, leaving the sword in his body.

Even though Shi Qishu could hold on for a while with his eighth-grade supreme cultivation, he was ultimately doomed to die!

“Who did it?!”

The four of them asked in unison, looking at each other in anger and confusion!

They were here to apply pressure, not to really kill anyone. These people were all part of their alliance, killing one would mean losing one’s strength, let alone an eighth-grade supreme?

After seeing each other’s bewildered faces, they became even more confused.

No one knew that just as the snow wall was being broken through with their swords, the four of them simultaneously instructed their sword spirits to freeze their swords and throw them at Shi Qishu from behind!

Silently and effortlessly, the mission was accomplished!

One sword pierced through his chest!

As soon as the sword was inserted into his body, Shi Qishu immediately sensed it and tried to block it with his elemental energy. However, the sword spirit’s power was too great, and even though it only used half of its power, it still managed to stab him!

With his body temperature, the ice on the sword slowly melted.

Mo Tianji made a sound of “move”! Chu Yang didn’t really move, but let the sword spirit move.

This was even more secretive!

Indeed, kill one and escape one. Such a master, such a status, killing one would be an unresolved grudge; leaving one, however, would bring the hatred back!

This would prevent the hatred from being wrongfully accused and unable to be cleared up. When the time is right, one will be exposed and the one left will be a strong force at that time! Whether it is rebellion or just resentment, there will always be a way to use it.

This is the true intention of Mo Tianji’s operation! – Part of it!...

Four eighth-ranked supreme experts looked at each other for a moment. Finally, the leader reacted, suddenly turned around and shouted coldly, “So there are still friends here...I don’t know which friend it is. Come out and meet me!”

All four of them understood. Besides the six of them, there must be someone else hiding in the dark ready to make a move! And if someone did make a move, the situation would worsen to the point of no return. It would not only be a failed attempt but would also result in the loss of one eighth-ranked supreme expert and leave a hidden danger. In the future, they would be safe if they were not discovered by Xiao Zhengyan and his men. However, if they were recognized, it was feared that the Shi family and the Xiao family would immediately break with the enforcers!

“I planted a tree, nurtured it to grow, tended it to bloom, and bear fruit. Then, I brought a chair and secured the ladder, ready to pick the fruit. But at that moment, someone took the fruit from my ladder while my hand was reaching for it. This is how these four people feel right now.”

...

Could they tolerate this? No!

A loud shout shattered the snowflakes in the air into pieces, causing the earth to tremble for a moment. However, the surroundings were silent, the snow-covered plains vast, and no one came out!

The four of them separated with a brush, each standing at a different corner. Then, they simultaneously stomped their right foot in unison and yelled, “Come out!”

There seemed to be blue sparks flickering in the air, and with a loud bang, all the snow within several hundred feet around them flew into the air, soaring dozens of feet high. Two of them lowered their heads, their eyes darting around the ground, while the other two looked up, staring at the snow chunks in the air to see if anyone was hiding.

At this moment, a hoarse, long laugh, filled with endless vicissitudes, rang out. A black figure suddenly flashed out of the white snow, not touching the ground, and disappeared into the northwest a hundred feet away in a flash.

“Hahaha...you can only frame and blame my Li family, but can’t I take advantage of the opportunity?” With that, the figure was already two hundred feet away. 𝘧𝓇𝗲e𝑤𝑒𝙗noѵ𝒆𝚕. 𝒄o𝓶

The four of them simultaneously struck out with their palms, the four hurricanes converging into a sturdy tornado, rapidly chasing after the figure. In the end, it transformed into a hundred feet wide golden palm, fiercely slapping down!

Suddenly, the shadow that was trying to escape was struck down to the ground! The four people did not have time to catch their breath before they saw the shadow leap up unscathed, sneering, “Great skill, great power, great killing intent! Hehehe...I’m impressed!” With a whoosh, like a clear black line in the swirling snow, the figure flew out.

A formidable enemy! A master!

“Chase!” The four of them were taken aback, but they quickly followed, soaring through the clouds and driving through the mist.

This person absolutely cannot be allowed to escape. If he were to reveal today’s events, it would be a huge problem.

...

The four figures disappeared into the distance, and the snowflakes falling from the sky landed with a plop on the ground, flying up like an avalanche, rolling out in waves.

Eleven figures, the same color as the white snow, leaped out of the snowdrifts. It was Chu Yang and the others.

Gu Du Xing looked around and counted, puzzled, “No one’s missing. Who led them away just now?”

“It was one of my little tricks.” Chu Yang hurriedly said, “We must catch up and find out the origin of these four people. We must find out who is behind the scenes causing trouble!”

The eleven of them flew out low to the ground together. Snowflakes fell thickly around them, and before long, the battlefield was restored to a silver-coated, pristine state.

Completely traceless.

As they flew, Luo Kedi and Ji Mo were still puzzled. They opened their mouths and couldn’t help but ask, “If you want to find out their origin, why didn’t we just fight them and capture them for interrogation? Why did we need to lead them away first and then track them down?”

Chu Yang and Mo Tianji rolled their eyes and pretended not to hear. They had no words for these two dense-minded individuals.

They weren’t stupid, but as long as Chu Yang and Mo Tianji were around, they wouldn’t use their brains even for a moment.

“The two of you add up to a ‘well’ character!” Ao Xieyun sneered, “One is two horizontally, and the other is two vertically.”
