Chapter 1256 - Let Go of No One!
Chapter 1256: Let Go of No One!
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
The enemy was right about one thing. Ye Xiao and the other four people could easily defeat the enemy, but it was impossible to stop the men in black clothes from escaping. They might be able to kill ten or twenty percent of those men, but the rest of them would definitely make their way to leave safely.
Li Wuliang, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han all knew this simple truth.
More importantly, if Ye Xiao made up his mind to kill as many as he could, the enemies would start to put on a desperate battle. Ye Xiao and the other four powerful cultivators were safe from the enemy’s desperate attacks, but Ye Nantian, Yue Gongxue, and the two maids were too weak to defend themselves. A slight scratch from the attacks could easily kill them in an instant!
Under the current situation, the best choice was to let go of the latter group of people in black clothes! It would benefit both sides!
When Ye Xiao looked at those people, his head was filled with doubts.
[Is it indeed the House of Chaotic Storms?]
[Such a magnificent group of equally powerful cultivators… I have never seen any people like them before. Even the great sects were not able to gather such a number of cultivators in such great power. Even if they could, they couldn’t have them all in an equal cultivation level.]
[Look at them, over a hundred of them, all in almost the same level!]
[These people must be only a small part of the secret organization.]
[We can’t let any of them leave!]
Ye Xiao’s face looked cold. He sneered, “Really? Well… Since you want me to try, I have to say… Why not?”
Then he waved a hand and shouted, “Yue Shuang, stay in the south side and make sure no one passes you. Yue Han, stay in the east. Wuliang, the north side is on you. Bingxue, go get the west! We are not letting anybody go! I will be supporting you all in the central area! Make sure we kill every one of them!”
Li Wuliang and the two ladies didn’t understand why Ye Xiao would do so, but they knew that the last thing they should do was to question Ye Xiao’s decision. Without hesitation, they responded with a yes and quickly occupied the four positions in the four directions.
The four of them all looked at Xiao Monarch, who was standing in the middle and giving out orders. Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue couldn’t be more grateful for what Xiao Monarch did. [God bless the good man! Xiao Monarch is actually alive!]
[Eighteen years ago, Xiao Monarch and Jun Yinglian helped us a lot. If not for Xiao Monarch, we would never have the chance to get together again! Today, in this place, I am saved by Xiao Monarch again!]
The two of them were both grateful for it.
Influential men of the Qing-Yun Realm appeared before their eyes one after another. The two legends who were known dead actually came back from death one by one…
They felt like witnessing the history of the world.
Xiao Monarch… Fierce Blade…
Aside from the gratefulness and cheerfulness, Ye Nantian, who had a sensitive heart, suddenly got a weird feeling. He had a pretty familiar feeling toward Xiao Monarch…
He felt like Xiao Monarch was a close friend to him…
He couldn’t tell what the feeling was, but he was sure that the feeling was deep inside his heart!
[Maybe he saved me so many times that I feel like getting close to him… I know who I am… I am weak. I have never seen Xiao Monarch, not to mention become a friend to him. He would never lower his position to make friends with me… However, what is the feeling about?]
Ye Nantian was lost in thoughts.
Ye Xiao hadn’t even glanced at Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue since he got down from the sky. Not that he didn’t want to see them, he just didn’t dare to.
He was afraid that once he had eye contact with Ye Nantian, he would fail to cover the real emotion in his eyes.
After he was reborn as the young lord Ye Xiao, Ye Nantian and Song Jue had become like his real family in his heart. Ye Nantian was not only the young Ye Xiao’s father, but also Xiao Monarch’s father now. He couldn’t expose himself to Ye Nantian…
If Ye Nantian knew the truth, it would become pretty embarrassing for Xiao Monarch.
[I do recognize this family as my home and these two as my parents. However, I have occupied their real son’s body after all…]
[If Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue get to know that their beloved son has died for a long time, I am afraid they will not be able to handle the mental shock!]
[It is something beyond their endurance!]
That was why Ye Xiao didn’t want to show even a bit of his emotion to his parents, and he didn’t dare to take the risk of being exposed.
All he had to do was to play as an aloof expert and stay away from Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue.
However, he couldn’t stop his heart from shaking in emotional shock… He was excited at the moment!
…
On the other side.
The leader of the secret organization people didn’t seem to be fearful, and he didn’t do anything to make a response to Ye Xiao’s arrangement. Instead, he kept watching Ye Xiao giving orders and the other four people following Ye Xiao’s orders. After everything was done, he laughed out loud and said, “Xiao Monarch, are you making a joke to delight us?”
It was reasonable that he would ask Ye Xiao such a question. What Ye Xiao did was apparently sending the four others to death!
Ye Xiao and the four others together indeed made an invincible force, and they were powerful enough to kill all the men in black clothes. However, a proper strategy was necessary for winning a battle. After all, the five of them weren’t strong enough to overwhelm the powerful group of level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators. Ye Xiao’s arrangement was separating the five of them and probably giving the enemies an opportunity to defeat the weakest one of the five first!
Yue Shuang and Yue Han had such a marvelous power when they stayed together in battle. The joint force of the two sisters was even stronger than Han Bingxue, Li Wuliang, and perhaps even Ye Xiao! However, if they split up, each of them was only in the top level of Dao Origin Stage, not a super-level cultivator. If the enemies sent a small part of people to keep Ye Xiao, Li Wuliang, Han Bingxue, and either of the two sisters busy and sent the rest of their people to attack the other sister, they might be able to instantly kill the lady, which meant the two ladies were defeated. If that happened, the battle situation would be turned over, and Ye Xiao would have to think about how to escape the fight!
Everybody knew the truth, and that was why the leader of the men in black clothes would ask that question!
Some people guessed that Ye Xiao was only playing tough to endeavor a better chance to leave the battle!
Ye Xiao cracked an interesting but weird smile and said, “Well, is it a joke? Haha… You will see in no time.”
At the same time, there was a white shadow that flashed in the sky and then disappeared immediately.
The next moment…
“Growl!”
“Growl, growl, growl!”
“Howl…”
– Boom, boom, boom… –
– Rustle, rustle, rustle… –
Different kinds of sound abruptly started ringing out in the forest.
People at present were all experts in cultivation who were more sensitive to danger than ordinary people. The men in black clothes felt that something must have gone wrong, so they all turned around to look at the woods. At that moment, they all took a cold breath.
From the west came seventeen huge snakes which were dozens of meters long, thick like a bucket, and covered by shining white scales. On each snake’s head, there was a caruncle which was turning to golden color. The snakes were moving on the ground, flicking their bright red tongue, and blocking the way to the west!
“The king of Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes? No… The kings… They are all going to evolve soon… Holy heavens! Why are there so many of them? How is this even possible?” one man exclaimed when he saw the snakes.
Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes that were in such size must be at least in level eight. That meant they were equally powerful as level eight Dao Origin Stage cultivators. What made these snakes so scary was that their scales were unbelievably indestructible! They were immune to weapon hits, water or fire damage, spiritual power blasts, and mental attacks…
They were definitely some incredible flesh shields. As long as their caruncles were safe, they were invincible!
One king of Silver-scaled Golden Caruncle Snakes was already a severe problem—now, there were seventeen snake kings!
Seventeen of such snakes staying together to cover each other meant there was no way to attack any of their caruncles!
“This is impossible!” One the men’s face turned pale as he murmured, “A king of Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes in such a high level should be proud and arrogant. Although a snake king like that usually has over a hundred thousand subordinates, the king would never allow any other snakes to stay close to it! That is the king snake’s dignity…”
“But… How come these snake kings are staying together? How come the snake kings don’t have any subordinate snakes? Why are they staying close to each other? This… This is rare… This is impossible… This is something that hasn’t happened in the history of Qing-Yun Realm ever…”
Under the exclamation from the crowd, the Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes kept creeping toward the middle of the battle. The seventeen snakes together looked like a silver vein crawling on the ground…
In the eyes of the snakes, there was an extremely cold glow, showing no emotions that human could understand, but only destruction, death, murder… and eagerness for blood.
[Chief said that as long as we kill enough of those bad guys, we will get some really good stuff, including that delicious fruit…] All the snakes had the same thought.
[We only need a little bit of that fruit to reach the next level…]
[What a heaven-blessing great opportunity! Isn’t it?]
[This is so exciting… I can’t even stop slobbering…]
[Brothers, let’s go! Although none of the kings of our kind in history have ever fought together before, this is the crucial moment that we should give up on the traditions. Let’s focus on our own future first. Dignity, tradition, and other useless sh*t… should be put away until we are powerful enough someday…]
The people in black clothes who saw the snakes were all terrified. They knew that they couldn’t defeat those Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes, which meant that the only thing they should do was to back off.
One thing made the people in black clothes feel lucky—although Silver-Scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes were powerful and invulnerable, their movements weren’t that swift. At least, they were slower compared to level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators. All the people in black clothes were thinking of getting away from the crowd of snakes and finding another way to leave!
However, as they took a few steps backward, growls started to sound behind them.
The growls were like a furious storm, as if there was a voice saying, “F*ck! You piece of blind bastards! You actually only see those stupid stinky snakes! What? Do you think we are worse than the bloody snakes?”
As those men turned around and looked over, they wished what they saw was not real.
Everybody started to sweat because of fear. Sweat beaded up on their foreheads.
[Holy motherly heavens…]
From the thick growth of grass in the east, a crowd of animals showed their heads. The next moment, about twenty giant beasts, which only existed in the myth, walked out of the grass together!
The beasts had some golden lights glowing around their bodies. Three creepy strip-shaped caruncles on each of their heads looked like three horns in the shape of the Chinese word 王! [1]
Their pelage shined like gold, and they eyed the people in black clothes with great murderous intent.
Those were at least twenty oversized tigers!
Where on earth… did those huge tigers come from?
Each of the tigers was about thirty meters long, and weighed over a thousand kilograms!
There were actually such huge tigers in the world…
The people in black clothes all felt like crying in tears when they saw the tigers. Some of them said, “Those… Those can’t be the super-level Golden Tiger King, can they? They are only supposed to exist in the stories…”
Every one of them wanted to burst into tears at the moment.
The legendary Golden Tiger King was one of the super-level spiritual beasts. A Golden Tiger King was as powerful as a top-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator!
More horribly, they had copper skins and iron bones, which meant they were almost indestructible. Other than that, they had one remarkable strong point compared to the Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes—move speed. Unlike the snakes, the Tigers moved pretty fast!
When the people in black clothes saw the Silver-scaled Golden Caruncled Snakes, they wanted to escape the battle. However, when they saw twenty of the super-level spiritual beast, Golden Tiger King, they just wanted to die!
In fact, it was too early to be hopeless at the moment. What made a person feel more despair than giving up his life in battle? To make him realize the despair and to push him to his own death!
After the crowd of Golden Tiger King showed up, growls sounded again from the north and the south at the same time.
Apparently, some other beasts were showing their dissatisfaction by growling. They sounded really impatient and offended.
[You little things! Stop paying too much attention to the little cats and the small worms, will you? How can you ignore us?]
[I won’t blame you for disrespecting me or any stupid ideas you have. I only care about one thing—to make sure my employer knows we are working too. What if our boss thinks we are slacking in this job and refuses to pay us what we deserve?]
[That would be unacceptable!]
That was why the other two groups of beasts all produced equally threatening growls to take their stand!
The people looked in the direction where the growl sounded.
[Holy sh*t!]
One man in black clothes fell back and sat down on the ground because of the excessive shock. The others nearly had their eyes popped out because of the astonishment.
