Chapter 1453 - Qingwu“s One Saber Move

Chapter 1453 Qingwu“s One Saber Move

It’s a sneak attack, yet I actually shouted to remind the enemy to guard before making a move? What logic is this?

Just before her move, Mo Tianji had instructed her multiple times — “Before making a move, you must be perfectly invisible. But when you make the move, you must yell!”

This sentence, Mo Tianji had repeated it over and over for several times!

Later when Mo Lei’er was annoyed by it and finally agreed, Mo Tianji still reiterated it one more time.

Mo Lei’er almost lost herself under complete inability to comprehend.

So before she attacked, Mo Lei’er reluctantly yelled.

This yell was really a big deal!

She was originally in a state of complete invisibility, and such invisibility couldn’t hide Xiao Chenlei’s perception!

He knew clearly that there were two enemies ambushing in the dark!

He had also been waiting for these two ambushes, and although he was injured and in the midst of retreating, he was completely on guard.

But Xiao Chenlei had never thought that there would be two such attacks!

Attacks from two women!

This made Xiao Chenlei completely lose his sense of position and ability to judge.

Earlier, he had determined that it was the Nine Tribulations Sword Master and his Nine Tribulations attacking himself and stealing the dragon and phoenix bones! This one deduction had been confirmed since Chu Yang made the “What harm is there in slaughtering the entire world” move!

And it was exactly eight people from the beginning of attacks until now!

Gu Duxing’s sword, Dong Wushang’s saber, Xie Danqiong’s hidden weapons, Ao Xieyun’s dragon’s roar, Rui Butong’s phoenix’s wail, Luo Kedi’s sword, Mo Tianji’s wisdom, and Chu Yang the Lord Sword Master’s sword!

It was exactly eight!

According to the convention of 100,000 years, as long as the Nine Tribulations Sword Master made a move and the Nine Tribulations joined forces, it would be ten people — The Nine Tribulations Sword Master and the Nine Tribulations!

Right now, only eight attacked, so naturally, there were two more!

Therefore, Xiao Chenlei was naturally preparing against those two. Even if Mo Qingwu and Mo Lei’er didn’t take action, Xiao Chenlei would still be on guard! Even if he didn’t feel the ambush of the two, he would be extremely prepared!

It was commonly known that when the Nine Tribulations were together, they would be invincible!

How did Xiao Chenlei dare to be careless?

But… Mo Lei’er’s scornful yell before her move totally confused Xiao Chenlei!

One hundred thousand years of convention was deeply rooted in people’s hearts — There were absolutely no women in the Nine Tribulations!

This was a common understanding of all the people of the Nine Heavens continent!

From whichever perspective, it was confirmed that there were no women in the Nine Tribulations — If there were women, how would the Nine Super Clans afterward come about? As everyone knew, women were meant to marry, and after they were married, they had to follow their husbands’ surname, the same for their offspring.

How could a woman pass down her family name?

Since eight had already attacked, the two left would naturally be the other two Nine Tribulations brothers, then since that’s the case, how could a woman appear?

Oh no! Not one woman, but two! What’s going on?

When he was on full alert, he had already sensed Mo Lei’er approaching — Just as he was contemplating his counterattack, he suddenly heard the yell of a woman!

“See the sword coming!”

Xiao Chenlei was immediately confused!

And this confusion made his move a little bit slower.

Mo Lei’er’s sword stabbed, only to see that Xiao Chenlei actually didn’t dodge. She thought that he was going to defend with the sword intent of Supreme Martial Artist, she bit her teeth and the sword stabbed into Xiao Chenlei’s right shoulder without any resistance!

It was exactly the place where Chu Yang had stabbed!

Xiao Chenlei was truly sorrowful at this moment, before his old wounds had healed, new injuries were caused. He yelled out in pain. His hand waved and hit Mo Lei’er, sending her into the distance. He shouted in disbelief, “Why? Why is it actually a woman?”

Mo Lei’er’s whole body was almost crushed by this hit, she rolled as she retreated. In extreme pain, she heard this sentence and couldn’t help but wonder — “Why can’t it be a woman?”

As Xiao Chenlei was yelling, Mo Qingwu approached lightly and Qing Wu Dream Saber slashed down with dreamlike colored lights!

At this moment, Mo Qingwu’s consciousness was not actually in the battle. Instead, she remembered a sentence for no reason at all.

In the past life, there was a poem written by her and Chu Yang’s common friend Xue Leihan.

“Floating gently in a dream, dancing beautifully in seas of blood and mountains of corpses; don’t question the point of traveling thousands of miles with a sword, together forever, in life and through death, unto the highest heaven!”

Her heart was deeply moved, as she muttered, “Don’t question the point of traveling thousands of miles with a sword, together forever, in life and through death, unto the highest heaven!”

She didn’t notice that with this one sentence, the movement of her saber became even more unpredictable, as though the saber was given a soul in this one instant. It flashed past the palm attack by Xiao Chenlei, flying swiftly and gracefully as a swan goose and slashing between Xiao Chenlei’s waist and thigh!

Xiao Chenlei looked up at the sky and howled, his blood splattering like rain falling on the ground. His whole body trembled painfully, and fear displayed clearly on his face. He bellowed in anger, fright and fear, “Why!?”

His voice shook the sky!

Then he finished his sentence in extreme pain. “Why another woman!?”

Amid the wailing, his body fell like a meteor into the dust, entering the Purple Crystal mine!

Given his cultivation, even after a severe injury, even if he didn’t dodge at all, even if Mo Lei’er and Mo Qingwu both held extraordinary, magical weapons, they couldn’t possibly have injured him.

But it was this moment of confusion that caused him to be seriously injured once more, at the moment when the injury was almost impossible…

…Mo Qingwu’s one move almost slashed off half of his right leg!

This was something that should not have happened!

A gentle voice in the air said, “Why women? This question is really ridiculous! Do you look down on women like that? Can women not kill you? Move on together, overturn this mountain! Get the bones of the dragon and phoenix and retreat immediately!”

The brothers from all directions agreed in unison. “Overturn this mountain! The bones of the dragon and the phoenix are ours!”

“Hahaha… The bones of the dragon and the phoenix are ours!”

The eight people attacked together and suddenly, the entire Aspen Valley shook, as if the entire valley was about to be lifted from the ground surface!

Xiao Chenlei crashed to the floor at this time, blood streaming from his shoulder and covering his whole waist and hips. His one leg was almost hacked off. But he still yelled, “Stay! Hold it!”

All the Supreme Martial Artists from the Xiao Clan mobilized their magical martial powers at the same time, integrating themselves with the mountains and ground surface beneath them, and pressed down with full strength!

Though the power of the Nine Tribulations rushed over suddenly and lifted upward, the Xiao Clan Supreme Martial Artists had an advantage in numbers after all. They didn’t catch the battle just now, but right now, all of them were desperate!

There was a loud bang!

Dust rose up in the sky and turned into mushroom clouds!

At this moment, Xiao Chenlei’s cry finally rang out fiercely. “You want the dragon and phoenix bones? No way!”

There was a loud bang while the two strong, vigorous forces made full contact under the ground, and the people on both sides simultaneously let out a scream! Someone was injured from the shock on both sides!

However, the Xiao Clan had a lot of people after all and they fixed the Aspen Valley Purple Crystal mine in its original place, and it could not be moved!

At this moment, it was the Nine Tribulation Sword Master and his Nine Tribulations who were in an inferior position!

In a cloud of dust, Mo Tianji’s heavy, elegant and fully confident voice sounded.

“Be patient, retreat for the time being; after three days, take the bones of the dragon and phoenix and end the life of Xiao Chenlei; within a month, the Xiao Clan will be razed to the ground and the realm of the southeast will be ours!”

The brothers laughed in unison. “In that case, let this old freak live three more days!”

Amid the smoke and dust that filled the air, several figures could be seen vaguely laughing and climbing into the sky, and with a lightning-like flash, they disappeared without a trace!

When the dust fell, the world was already calm.

Between heaven and earth, the world was a mess!

Only Xiao Chenlei was standing right in the middle of the Purple Crystal mine, murmuring in an extremely puzzled way, “How can there be women in the Nine Tribulations? And two women at that? How is this possible? If so, in case the Nine Tribulations succeeded, how would the new Nine Super Clans be passed down?”

All around him, the Xiao Clan Supreme Martial Artists were looking at one another, unable to answer his questions.

Yes, there could be absolutely no women in the Nine Tribulations! This was clearly stated in the classics of Nine Heavens.

This had been the case for 100,000 years. How could there be an exception?

“Regarding this matter, you have misunderstood and confused yourself, Elder Master.” Second Master Ji coughed weakly and said in a fragile manner, “I’ve been observing and listening, and luckily the brothers protected me so that I didn’t get hurt. But right now, I want to say something, if you are fixated on this problem, Elder Master, you’re really walking into their trap!”

He laid on the stretcher, having actually begged others to carry him out.

“What do you mean?” Xiao Chenlei frowned and turned around to ask, ignoring the wounds on his own body.

“Just now, only eight among the Nine Tribulations and the sword master came out to attack!” Ji Mo said in an orderly way, “The two women who attacked last used the factor that there were no women in the Nine Tribulations to create a profound surprise and injure you… Otherwise, it would never have been possible!”

“This makes a lot of sense.” Xiao Chenlei frowned, thought carefully and said, “It’s true indeed, if there were no such accident, I could have retreated in full health.”

Ji Mo chuckled and said with confidence, “So in my opinion, this was just a trick to deceive you into believing that there are women in the Nine Tribulations.”

“But the real threat on their side is the two people who haven’t shown themselves yet. Those two people are the key! The next time they strike, it will still be the same team as today, and those two people still won’t appear. They will only appear suddenly at a critical moment, so that they can once again produce surprise and seize the Purple Crystal mine in one fell swoop!”

Ji Mo looked like a mastermind as he smiled a little. “Such strategy, haha…”

Realization dawned upon Xiao Chenlei. “You mean…”

Ji Mo smiled faintly. “The man who spoke at last must have been the mastermind of the Nine Tribulations, but he clearly said that they would come back after three days… Though he really had no reason to be so frank… So I concluded, they will definitely make a comeback before the third day!”

“That makes sense!” Xiao Chenlei’s eyes brightened.

“So what you should do now, Elder Xiao, is to get rid of the traitor.” Ji Mo said with great anxiety, “According to my guess, they definitely have a spy among us…”

Speaking of which, he stopped.

But none of those present were stupid, of course they understood what he meant. They thought at the same time — If the enemy didn’t have a significant spy, how could they be so confident? And dared to attack this heavily guarded ground of the Xiao Clan?
