Transcending the Nine Heavens-Chapter 1500 - Losing a Hundred Years in a Single Bet!
Chapter 1500 Losing a Hundred Years in a Single Bet!
Pear Blossom Slope!
Seventy-two experts from the Li family were deeply buried in the snow, concealing their presence. They didn’t even reveal their eyes, suppressing all their cultivation and only leaving the most primitive function of their ears to perceive.
A cruel emotion was rising in everyone’s heart.
During this time, they had been severely suppressed. Now, they finally had the chance to counterattack!
!!It could be said that the Li family members had been suffocated for half a year, unable to use their strength and only passively taking hits. Their eyes were bloodshot from frustration.
Once they engaged in battle, it would undoubtedly be earth-shattering, exhausting all their power!
Mo Tianji’s ingenious strategy gave them too much confidence! With an invincible military adviser, they were unstoppable!
This was an unparalleled confidence!
The depression and despair from before had been swept away.
In the distance, white figures sped through the vast snowy landscape. Three teams had already changed their formations twice, becoming more elusive.
The targets of the three teams had become blurred, making it appear that attacking here was possible, but so was attacking elsewhere.
Even attacking the third target was a possibility.
All three teams were filled with the belief of victory and a confident posture, charging forward like lightning!
The distance was almost right. In fifty more miles, the three teams would separate. One team would cut off the connection between Centipede Ridge and Snowy Cliff, acting as a mobile unit. Another team would launch a feint attack on Snowy Cliff.
These two teams were just putting up a show of strength because, even if they captured Centipede Ridge and Snowy Cliff, they wouldn’t be able to defend them under attacks from three sides. Moreover, these places were crucial to the Li family, and they would definitely fight fiercely for them.
The real sharp sword, however, was aimed at Pear Blossom Slope!
This operation, named “Three Swords to Seize Pear Blossom” by Diwu Qingrou, was bound to succeed with so many experts dispatched!
“Are you ready?” Xiao Xingyan asked coldly, unfazed by the blizzard hitting his face.
“Almost,” Chen Jianlong replied with a cruel grin.
On the Shi family’s side, someone laughed bitterly, “Our blood won’t flow in vain! Thank you both for assisting us!”
“Of course. Don’t mention it! We’ll avenge Shi Qishu’s blood debt in this battle!” Xiao Xingyan laughed heartily, “Take care, and I wish you success!”
Over sixty experts from the Shi family saluted together, “Thank you, Elder Xiao!”
As they spoke, they shot forward like lightning, covering thousands of feet in an instant.
The fifty-mile distance would take at least half a day for an ordinary army in the Lower Three Heavens, and in this deep snow, they might not even make it in a day!
But for these experts, it was only a matter of half an incense stick’s burning time or even less!
“Split!”
At Xiao Xingyan’s command, the Xiao family’s team suddenly split from the main force, like a sharp arrow, darting towards the right.
Chen Jianlong gave an order, and the Chen family’s Wind Chasers stirred up a whirlwind of snowflakes as they charged down the center.
The Shi family members, filled with determination, dashed to the left!
As Xiao Xingyan’s shout of “split” still echoed in the air, the three teams had completely separated. Amid the snowstorm, they were like three deadly white arrows, thrusting forward fiercely!
In the blink of an eye, they had spread out several hundred feet from each other, disappearing from their respective sightlines. With the lightning speed of the three teams, the distance between them grew larger and larger…
Pear Blossom Slope!
Among the Li family’s ambushers, an eighth-rank and a seventh-rank supreme expert exchanged glances and began to communicate through sound transmission.
“They’re here!”
“Their target is indeed Pear Blossom Slope!” “That Mo strategist is truly a genius.”
“Nonsense, could he be the Nine Tribulations adviser if he wasn’t a genius? We consider ourselves pretty smart, but why aren’t we like that?”
“Good point.”
“But it’s not necessarily the Shi family that’s coming! If it really is the Shi family, I’ll kowtow to them when I get back.”
“I estimate there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance… that you’ll be kowtowing.”
The two of them immediately issued an order: “The enemy has appeared, prepare for battle!”
The fighting spirit of everyone present immediately ignited.
They’ve finally arrived!
Beside Pear Blossom Slope on a tall mountain, Chu Yang, Mo Qingwu, Mo Leier, and Dong Wushang stood on a large snow-covered cedar tree, quietly watching the scene below.
“I still don’t understand, boss, why are you staying here?” Dong Wushang was somewhat dissatisfied, “This is clearly a place where no birds would even poop, and there are so many key areas where battles could happen, yet you choose this place.”
Chu Yang snorted twice, rolled his eyes and didn’t respond.
He knew that Dong Wushang was just making small talk. Moreover, Chu Yang noticed something: whenever Mo Leier was around, Dong Wushang would talk more than usual and seemed to have a desire to show off.
This was true for any young person in love.
However, Chu Yang never expected that even someone as wooden as Dong Wushang would display such behavior. He secretly felt happy for him: it seemed that Dong Wushang was truly in love.
Mo Qingwu raised her little face: “Brother Wushang, there’s a reason why Chu Yang chose this place. How about we make a bet?”
Dong Wushang grinned, “What bet?”
“If there really is a battle here, as Chu Yang said, you’ll lose. Then you’ll have to give me all the spirit beast cores you can get in the future so I can feed Xiao Xue,” Mo Qingwu said seriously. She had complete, blind faith in Chu Yang.
If Chu Yang said there would be a battle here, then there would definitely be one!
Dong Wushang rolled his eyes, “Future spirit beast cores?”
Chu Yang smiled slightly, “That’s too rigid. It would mean Wushang would spend his entire life collecting cores for you. That’s not very nice. Let’s change it to within a hundred years.”
…
Mo Qingwu’s rosy lips twitched. That’s harsh… I actually just wanted one year’s worth…
Dong Wushang spoke cheerfully, “No problem, but what if you lose?”
Mo Qingwu rolled her eyes, “If I lose…”
Chu Yang interjected, “If Qingwu loses, I’ll give the two of you a complete Nine Revolutions Pill.”
Dong Wushang’s eyes lit up, “Deal?!”
Mo Qingwu pouted, “This lady never goes back on her word!”
“Deal!” Dong Wushang was elated. He didn’t care much about himself, but Mo Leier was different. With two complete Nine Revolutions Pills, it was like Mo Leier had two extra lives!
“Let’s seal the deal with a handshake!” Mo Qingwu reached out her palm, and Dong Wushang eagerly slapped it, “The bet is established, no backing out!”
Chu Yang smiled as he watched. Silly boy, you’ve been duped, and you’re still so eager to fight for benefits for your wife. Little do you know, even without this bet, I wouldn’t treat your wife unfairly.
But now, you better be prepared to work for Qingwu for a hundred years…
“Don’t make the bet…” Mo Leier, who had been paying attention to the outside world, noticed something was wrong and hurriedly turned back to stop them. But she was met with Dong Wushang’s excited face and the words: “The bet is established! No backing out!”
…
Mo Leier covered her face with her hand.
What kind of blockheaded husband had she found… so eagerly selling himself out…
Dong Wushang, who had just sealed the bet with a handshake, stared blankly at the scene below, completely dumbfounded, like a snow sculpture!
His mouth hung open, his face full of astonishment!
He never expected that he would lose the bet immediately after it was established!
And there was no buffer at all!
This was too direct. No wonder Dong Wushang couldn’t handle it; anyone would be at a loss! Looking at the hand he had just used to seal the bet, Dong Wushang wanted to cry but had no tears, wishing he could chop off his own hand.
This was such a scam…
Because at this moment, a terrifying murderous aura suddenly surged from below! Like a raging storm, it swept across dozens of miles in an instant!
It was the Shi family launching their attack!
They were only five or six miles away from Pear Blossom Slope, the perfect time for a charge. The Shi family’s desire for revenge soared, reaching an almost breaking point.
They charged like a tidal wave!
They had to take Pear Blossom Slope in one fell swoop!
Sixty-seven people swept past like a whirlwind! They were now less than 200 yards from Pear Blossom Slope! They could even see the terrified faces on the slope, followed by a sharp cry, “It’s not good…”
Hearing the other party’s horrified voice, the Shi family members’ faces were filled with cruelty! Not good? This was just the beginning!
All of the Shi family’s eyes were fixed on Pear Blossom Slope, ready to rush up in one breath…
At this moment!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Without warning, a burst of sword and blade light suddenly shone and exploded within the Shi family’s ranks! At this moment, the long-ambushed Li family experts finally made their move!
Every one of them went all out, using every ounce of strength they had! For a time, they were one with their swords and blades… some of them were simply going all out!
Caught off guard, the Shi family members were indulging in a cruel sense of vengeance when they suddenly faced a storm-like attack!
From below and beside the Shi family members, who had no defenses, white-clothed people jumped out and focused all their mental and spiritual power on the Shi family experts on Pear Blossom Slope, madly hacking and slashing like cutting vegetables!
“Ambush!” The voice was sharp and mournful.
But it was already too late.
The Li family members who appeared were all heads down, silently slaughtering. Just with one contact, the Shi family’s numbers were quickly reduced by half!
Moreover, a large number of them were seriously injured!
The leading seventh-rank supreme was given special attention by an eighth-rank supreme and another seventh-rank supreme, who attacked with full force. Their fists rained down on him like a drum, striking him thirty times, slashing him eighteen times with their blades, and kicking him ninety-six times!
He scattered in the air like fireworks without making a sound!
Bang!
Above, Dong Wushang gritted his teeth, “Well killed! Well deserved! These bastards… they made me lose a hundred years in an instant…”
