Chapter 899: Ultimate Killing Trap!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“… No matter how ferociously the Holy Land’s side attacks, the burden of defense has only rested on just one person every time. This one person, or rather, this one position, has completely endured all the attacks perfectly—the head of the triangular formation! In normal cases, a triangular formation is used to attack, and the head of the formation is often used as a point to pierce through the enemy’s defense. But here, it’s actually a point of defense!”
The three looked over with rapt attention. All of them were experts of martial arts. The moment the crucial area was explained by the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, they instantly managed to understand the changes of this formation.
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master continued in a low voice. “That formation is truly amazing. Each time, only a single person needs to endure the attacks. Although the person blocking will have to expend a lot of energy in that one instance, but by the time the next attack arrives, they would have already changed to another person to block. The person in front will have a chance to catch a breather after the rotation, and in that way, each person will have two moments to catch their breaths, enough for them to recover their energy. Although it cannot be said to be completely without expenditure, the amount of energy one would lose while maintaining this formation is so little that it’s basically negligible!
“Indeed, so that’s how it is!” Cheng Yin Xiao’s face changed as he realized with shock. “The three of them aren’t using up much strength, but the guys from our Holy Lands are losing more and more energy at a constant rate…”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master smiled lightly and continued. “Not only that! While the formation absorbs the oncoming attacks, the other two can also attack at the same time! Furthermore, their targets are the same person. Which means to say, that each time they attack, it’s always two against one!
“Against such a strange formation, the side of the Holy Lands is simply unable to fight to their full ability. In every round of attack, at least one of them will fall into a situation where they can’t attack or contribute anything. Only one out of the three can truly launch a proper attack! On the other hand, when the other side counterattacks, all three of them can attack at the same time, joining hands against a single target! Even if their overall strength is inferior to the Holy Land’s side, they have the power of the initiative, which has also turned into an advantage. When the advantage continues to add up, it will turn into a condition for victory! Once that happens, the situation will become unresolvable, and there’s only the choice of stretching their necks out and waiting for death!”
As he said that, Cheng Yin Xiao, Qu Wu Hui, and Qiao Ying’s faces instantly changed!
“Don’t be shocked yet, the truly scary details are still in the back. From the looks of it, this formation still has some other intricacies that allow them to stack their strengths together, achieving a qualitative improvement in power which I currently still can’t see through…” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s eyes gleamed sharply as he analyzed the situation.
“From what Brother Fourteenth said, the results of this battle has already been determined? Is there truly no way to make a comeback?” Qiao Ying said anxiously.
“Indeed! There’s already no hope in obtaining victory anymore. Based on the situation, there’s only one move left to end the fight in a draw!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s eyes shone coldly as he laughed in a strange manner.
“What move?” Qu Wu Hui thought for a long time, but still couldn’t see a way of reversing the situation.
“Self-detonate immediately and drag the opponents to the grave along with you! That’s the only way to end this fight in a draw! Although the other side has a huge advantage now, it’s still not easy for them to endure the self detonation of three powerful Venerables. It’s still possible to perish together with the enemy!”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s tone carried a hint of cruelty as he scoffed. “It’s only a pity that the three Venerables from the Holy Land’s side are only in a disadvantageous position at the moment, and they’re far from being forced into a crisis. Thus, I trust that they will not be willing to part with their lives so easily and will continue to hold on, hoping for a miracle. But by the time they realize that there is no hope of winning, the opponent’s momentum will have become far too fierce. Even if they wanted to self-detonate and die with the enemy, they would no longer have the chance!”
Qu Wu Hui and the others all turned silent in that moment. All of them were peerless experts of their generation so how could they not understand? As long as there was a shred of hope left, who would be willing to throw away their life without trying to find a way out? Humans were all like that; there was nothing to say about it.
“Apart from that, they’ve also made a huge mistake.” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master laughed coldly and said. “From the beginning of the battle, the three black robed men hadn’t used any weapons, seemingly wanting to settle the fight with their bare fists. But the idiots from your three Holy Lands actually also did not use any weapons… If they’d used their weapons right from the start, although it might not have been sufficient to change the results of the battle, the situation now might be different…”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master laughed aloud. “This Young Master truly has no words for you bunch. Before the battle, all of you kept saying that it’s a battle to the death, not resting until one side is dead, and only one side can live. Naturally, everyone should be using the most extreme methods from the get go! Not mentioning weapons; even hidden weapons or poisons are permissible. Look at those three fools. Are the swords hanging on their waists just decorative items? How absolutely retarded!”
The moment the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s words came out of his mouth, a loud boom rang out, and the battle below instantly changed! Numerous dazzling swordlight burst into the sky, and a sharp keen shrill surged out in all directions as a loud voice shocked the land. “Kill!”
As the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had anticipated, one side finally took out their weapons. But unexpectedly, it was the three black robed men! The sudden appearance of the swords instantly cut through the final defensive barrier of the three Venerables as though a hot knife through rotten beancurd!
From the moment those three drew their swords, they instantly used the ultimate technique of Man and Sword as One, charging forward with reckless abandon. Even when they were occupying the position of absolute advantage, the technique they used was actually still a mutually harming technique like this!
This kind of “sacrificing 800 of my men to kill 3,000 of the enemy’s forces” extreme life pitting methods was only just below self detonation!
The shocking auras instantly blasted through the entire battlefield, leaving all the spectators in shock!
After being stunned for a moment, everyone from the three Holy Lands instantly cursed aloud with rage!
“Despicable!”
“Shameless!”
“How immoral!”
Many of the experts of the three Holy Lands were shaking with rage as they cursed, their eyes all red with anger!
Qiao Ying and the other two Guardians were completely silent. At this time, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master roared with laughter. “These guys insisted on keeping their useless morals and gentlemanly demeanor in a death match… but when the opponent uses the correct battle tactic to gain victory, they call it shameless! The three great Holy Lands ah… as expected of a righteous sect! What amazing style… It’s impossible to not admire them ah!”
On the other side, Jun Mo Xie was not angered by the furious cursings of his enemies. Instead, he was laughing so hard that his entire body shook uncontrollably. “This bunch of braindead Holy Land dumbasses are truly interesting! When they’re winning, they were so loud and exuberant. They moment they are in a disadvantage, they scold and curse so passionately… Xue Yan, ah, how did you end up losing so badly to these retards in the past? I’m truly quite curious…”
Mei Xue Yan’s face reddened as she rolled her eyes at him. “The people of the Holy Lands might be a bit despicable, but no matter how shameless they are… it’s not even 0.001 percent of yours! Look at the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer teams. They were such a bunch of forthright and iron blooded men originally. But what kind of people have they become in your hands? Each one of them is sly and cunning, behaving like common hooligans…
“You are wrong, this is a battle of life and death after all! One naturally needs to seek victory regardless of the method! They want to pretend to be gentlemen, but we can’t accompany them in their stupidity… Are their lives more important than being gracious? This Young Master is completely speechless at this display of idiocy. I certainly wasn’t the one who taught the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer teams those things. If you don’t believe me, you can ask those men yourself. In the battlefield, is seeking their own survival more important, or are those so-called morals, reputation and graciousness more important? Anyone who’d stepped into a true battlefield would understand these things. Do they still need me to teach them?” Jun Mo Xie said with some unhappiness.
In this moment, the situation in the battlefield had already changed greatly. The three Venerables of the Holy Lands had completely fallen to an absolute disadvantage!
Under the crazed hack and slash style attacks of the enemy, all their coordination, battle formations, and such were completely gone. They could only block in panic, hiding and running. They didn’t even have the time to draw their own weapons!
It was as the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had said; it was too late!
Victory and defeat had already been determined long ago!
Three roars rang out as the three black robed figures leaped up with their shiny swords gleaming sharply in their hands. On the ground, three white robed figures wobbled unsteadily, as though they were drunk. Their bodies were riddled with scars, and blood flowed constantly from their wounds…
With another flash of swordlight, the three descended yet again. In that space, the three Venerables from the Holy Lands finally managed to pull out their swords. In an instant, three bright sounds rang out as their long swords were unsheathed. Holding their weapons in their hands, they managed to stabilize their bodies!
Behind them, the experts of the three Holy Lands all heaved a loud sigh of relief at the same time! At long last, they could see a ray of hope. Now that the three had drawn their swords, they should at least be much better than fighting with their bare fists!
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master furrowed his brows lightly and looked at Jun Mo Xie suspiciously. He couldn’t understand at all. In a situation where they held the absolute advantage, why would he make such an unnecessary move? To actually allow his opponents to draw their swords? Wasn’t this just creating trouble for themselves?
On the other side, a look of pity flashed across Mei Xue Yan’s face as she sighed lightly.
Jun Mo Xie chuckled evilly as he proclaimed in a low voice. “The good show is finally about to begin! Haha…” Behind him, the 300 something hulking black robed men all looked up with strangely passionate gazes.
Though it took a long time to describe, everything had happened in a short time.
The three black robed man dropped from the sky, the swords in their hands shining with shocking power, thoroughly sealing all paths of retreat for the Holy Land’s Venerables!
The three on the ground instantly lifted their swords at the same time to block as they channeled all their energy into their swords! Their hearts blazed with rage as they thought to themselves: As long as I block this sword, that will be the death day of those three black robed bastards!
Because although the momentum and power of the three black robed men were shocking as they attacked from above, their movements were full of openings in that moment. If they didn’t manage to kill their opponent with that strike, they would be in a deathly situation!
Could they really be that confident? The three Guardians looked at the final strike of the battle with rapt attention as doubt arose in their hearts.
Screech…
The light sounds of weapons clashing together rang out, and Qu Wu Hui instantly stomped his feet with anger. “Sh*t! They’re using divine weapons! All three of them are using divine weapons! How f*cking despicable!”
The blades in the three black robed man’s hands were undoubtedly all legitimate divine weapons!
