Chapter 1460 - Shall I Kill You?

Chapter 1460 Shall I Kill You?

Inside the mine, speechlessness filled the air.All of a sudden, the five seventh-grade Supreme Martial Artists and one solo eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist turned to look at Xiao Chenlei at the same time, a complex look in their eyes. Then, they dropped onto their knees.

A jolt went through Xiao Chenlei. “What are you doing? Hurry and get up!”

“Elder Master!” The six of them remained on their knees, unmoving. The eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist raised his head and said with some difficulty, “Our battle at Aspen Valley today is already impossible to go through with! The dragon and phoenix bones… It looks like the Xiao Clan can only give up on it!”

Raising his head to the heavens, Xiao Chenlei heaved a heavy sigh.

How would he possibly not know this for himself too? They had already suffered a crushing defeat today! It was only at this point that he finally understood the other party’s vicious chain of schemes.

The other party had obviously intended to force all of them into the mine right from the start and then kill them all in one fell swoop!

The moment the other party had appeared, they immediately revealed their identities as the Nine Tribulations and baited him into a fierce battle. Firstly, this served to astound and make him pay close attention to them. Secondly, it was meant to numb his senses.

After that, they started to constantly launch attacks from the outside to the inside, carrying out raid after raid.

Using those despicable methods to provoke his anger, such that all of them would want to take revenge even at the risk of their lives. Yet they also gave them no other alternative, with the only solution being to wait it out and hide in front of the dragon and phoenix bones.

However, this instead caused them to successfully fall into the enemy’s most vicious and savage trap!

Releasing poison in this almost-airtight space!

They had been manipulated by the other party right from the very beginning! From the start till the end, they hadn’t escaped their clutches for even a moment.

And now, if he still wanted to retain the dragon and phoenix remains, then he had only the option of even himself perishing here. At this point, Xiao Chenlei believed to no end that even though the other party’s combat power was far beneath his, as long as he didn’t leave, he would also die in their hands sooner or later!

There was no doubt about this at all!

“Elder Master, all of us here are already a few thousand years old.” That eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist smiled lightly. At this critical point of life and death, he was instead at ease and unfettered. “During these few thousand years, we’ve already enjoyed everything that we should, as well as things that we shouldn’t have enjoyed. The hands of every single one of us here are ridden with countless blood debts. Every single one of us here holds no less than a million lives in our hands.”

“We’ve once been heroic and chivalrous and we’ve also once been domineering and unreasonable. We’ve wiped out cities in a fit of anger and also annihilated other people’s clans. We’ve even forcibly taken beauties for our pleasure and ended other people’s bloodlines…”

“We’ve done good deeds and even more bad deeds. Today, even if it is time for us to repay our debts, it’s also worth it by now!”

“We’ve tried to gain wealth by wit and by force in the past; the wealth of every person here rivals a nation’s. We’ve also enjoyed at least several thousands of beautiful women… There’s no longer anything for us to regret in our lives at this point.”

“Therefore, towards today’s outcome, we have been prepared for it long ago! This is the way the martial world is. Making a name for ourselves out here, there will come a time where we have to repay the debts we owe sooner or later!”

“We’ve already been poisoned in this battle today. Our only hope lies in the Elder Master!” Still kneeling on the ground, that eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist went on in a deep voice. “However, this Jiang Ye isn’t dead yet. Perhaps… the hope of the Xiao Clan still lies in him. As long as we force him to reveal his secret and get our hands on that legendary treasure, that treasure definitely won’t lose out in any way to the dragon and phoenix bones!”

Xiao Chenlei took a deep breath, unable to make any response.

“The few of us here are doomed anyway. When we go out, we’ll risk our lives to hold the few of them back. Elder Master, please try your best to bring this Jiang Ye fellow out. Please do not linger and do not think of avenging us. Return to the clan immediately! That way, even if we die, we’ll also be able to smile in the netherworld. After all, there will now be meaning in our deaths.”

The eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist smiled. “Our deaths will not be in vain.”

Then, in order to dispel Xiao Chenlei’s final reservations, the eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist said, “The Elder Master has the ninth-grade energy of vigor as protection and so, didn’t fall victim to the poison. We… can see this for ourselves. We can only bemoan our own uselessness… for not being able to cultivate and achieve the ninth-grade energy of vigor…”

Xiao Chenlei’s body started to shake intensely. Even his eyes turned red.

The eyes of the eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist turned red too. The other few seventh-grade Supreme Martial Artists knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling. However, their countenances were filled with firm determination and resolution.

After finishing his words, the eighth-grade Supreme Martial Artist kowtowed with great force before getting to his feet suddenly. Striding toward the outside, he shouted, “Follow me outside! Even if we must die, we must also go out with a bang… Lastly, do not let the enemy know that the Elder Master has already left!”

The other five people responded affirmatively. They rose to their feet at the same time and walked towards the outside.

In the beginning, their footsteps were rather shaky. However, the further they walked, the more resolute they became. After taking three steps out, they were already walking without any hesitation, duty-bound not to turn back!

Xiao Chenlei looked hesitant for a moment before his expression also turned into one of determination.

He was also a vicious and resolute man. He knew that these few experts had already been poisoned. Even if they didn’t head out to fight to the death, there was no way they could live on anymore. This decision right now was the best one.

Lowering his head, two drops of tears fell onto the ground. Then, he got up and headed toward Ji Mo.

Ji Mo laid there, unable to move from head to toe. He asked in fear and panic, “Elder… Elder, what happened?”

Xiao Chenlei stood in front of him quietly, listening to the robes of the six Xiao Clan experts fluttering in the wind behind him. They had already charged out of the mine like a hurricane, yet he didn’t even turn back. He merely stared at Ji Mo with a cold and sinister look in his eyes.

After a long while, he murmured, “Jiang Ye, I hope that story of yours isn’t a lie!”

A fearful Ji Mo replied, “Elder Master, what are you saying? How would this junior possibly dare to…”

An icy and sinister light glinted in Xiao Chenlei’s eyes. In a deep and repressed tone, he asked, “Let me ask you… Everyone has fallen victim to the Shadowless Poison. Why aren’t you poisoned?”

Ji Mo felt terribly wronged. He exclaimed, “Elder… After my body was modified by that Purple Crystal Soul of Holy Crystal, it has already become immune to all sorts of poison…”

Xiao Chenlei focused his gaze on him.

Ji Mo didn’t avoid his gaze, meeting his eyes with his own as if he had nothing to hide. He raised his right hand and made a vow, his attitude sincere and truthful. “If not for this junior’s injuries, I’d already have charged out at this point to fight together with the brothers and share life and death with them! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my words. Should there be any falsehood in my words, I am willing to be struck by lightning and suffer a terrible death for all my lifetimes to come!”

These words truly came from the bottom of Ji Mo’s heart!

Just that the ‘brothers’ he spoke of were not the ‘Xiao Clan brothers’.

But how would Xiao Chenlei possibly know?

Upon seeing him make such a vow with such sincerity and truthfulness, the look in Xiao Chenlei’s eyes eased up a little. He said impassively, “One can say that it’s rare for someone to have such kind intentions like yours after all.”

Then, his eyes focused on his arm. “You can already move your right arm?”

Ji Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “Elder… This junior’s right arm is the only part of my body that suffered the lightest injuries… I could already move it on that day…”

Xiao Chenlei thought back in detail and indeed, it was as he said. His expression relaxed and he said, “Jiang Ye, I hope that Purple Crystal Soul of Holy Crystal of yours… really does exist!”

Ji Mo said solemnly, “Rest assured, Elder. I know that my family has already met with disaster and perished, so guaranteeing the truth of my words in the name of my family members is no longer of any credibility. However, I am willing to guarantee it with my moral character! There’s not one bit of falsehood in my words at all!”

If Luo Kedi or Rui Butong and the rest had heard Ji Mo’s words of ‘willing to guarantee it with my moral character’, they would definitely spit on his face right away.

This scoundrel doesn’t speak a word of truth at all every single day. What ‘moral character’ does he have to speak of? Actually daring to guarantee using your moral character? Whoever believes you is definitely an idiot!

But…

How would Xiao Chenlei know this? Much less how big of a cunning joker this sincere and truthful ‘Jiang Ye’ in front of him was. The amount of truth he spoke in his entire life was seriously far and few.

Upon hearing his words, he nodded in a very comforted manner. “Good!”

Stepping forward, he grabbed hold of Ji Mo and lifted him, holding him under his armpit.

Ji Mo screamed tragically, almost passing out from the pain. He broke out in cold sweat all over. “Elder… B-be… gen… gentler…”

All the broken bones in his body had completely shifted and gone out of place with this lift of Xiao Chenlei’s.

Xiao Chenlei’s eyes flashed. At last, he set his mind completely at ease. “Don’t talk, I’ll bring you with me and charge out now!”

However, he did shift Ji Mo into a more comfortable position, hoisting him onto his shoulder instead. Even though it was still rather painful, it was already much, much more privileged treatment compared to being carried under the armpit like just now…

Ji Mo acted as if he was in so much pain that he didn’t know where to place his arms and legs anymore. With a repressed scream, his right hand landed on his buttocks. He let out a low moan. “Oh my god… I almost squeezed out everything in my intestines from the pain… What a close shave!”

Xiao Chenlei let out a derisive snort. When he heard the silence outside turn into the sounds of fierce battle, he pressed against the ground with his feet and suddenly sprung into the air. Like an arrow leaving the bow, he shot out of the cave.

Toward the dragon and phoenix bones that he was destined to lose, he actually didn’t take even a second glance.

One must admit that he was someone who could let go with ease.

…

Outside, the six Supreme Martial Artists came charging like lunatics. A series of blanket explosions followed shortly. However, after dealing with the attacks, they discovered that they didn’t hit anything at all. They became even more enraged, shouting loudly, “Cowardly curs! Show yourselves if you’re a man!”

There was only silence in the surroundings.

The six of them continued to curse and swear aloud.

However, from the beginning to the end, no one responded at all. The six of them could feel the poison in their bodies becoming stronger and stronger, gradually forming an insuppressible trend and slowly turning more and more violent. Working together, the six men decided that they might as well head toward the east. With an astounding aura and momentum, they stormed over!

They didn’t care whether there was anyone there or not. In any case, the six of them simply struck with their full power, splitting mountains apart whenever they ran into one and destroying trees whenever they ran into one, charging over with great momentum.

Mo Tianji’s brows furrowed.

He asked, “Did any of you see Xiao Chenlei?”

“No,” replied all the brothers at the same time.

Mo Tianji’s frown deepened. He ordered, “Luo Kedi, start the battle of insults!”

Upon receiving his orders, Luo Kedi stepped forward at once and started hurling insults. “You six little rascals, your grandpa is right here. Are all of you goddamn blind?? What the hell, to think I’ve only just given all of you medicine yet it couldn’t cure your stupidity!”

These words of his seriously added fuel to the fire.

The six men were originally already harboring an “I’ve covered my capital if I kill one, and I’ll profit if I kill two’ kind of mindset when unleashing attacks. Upon hearing what he said, they flew into a thundering rage immediately, turning around and charging over.

Luo Kedi sprung into the air and flew away from them, all the while still hurling insults at them. “Ahwooh… If you bunch of grandsons can kill grandpa here…”

He flew swiftly while he spoke.

At the side, Xie Danqiong and the others appeared one by one in a flash. They shouted, “Kill these bastards!”

The six Xiao Clan Supreme Martial Artists saw red even more, clenching their jaws and flying over swiftly in silence. The eyes of each and every one of them had already turned red. They had already thrown their lives away; if they still couldn’t take their lives, then that would seriously be too huge of a loss.

Upon seeing the six of them rush over, Luo Kedi and the others waited for them to reach them before they let out a shout and disappeared.

The six men searched for them furiously.

Right at this moment, with a loud whoosh, a figure shot right out of the mine, as though an astonishing shooting star. Without even glancing at the battle situation, he flew straight toward the east!

It was Xiao Chenlei!

A few hundred feet away, Yue Lingxue’s brows were raised high. He murmured, “Is it finally time for me to strike?”

Xiao Chenlei’s speed was extremely fast. Chu Yang and the others weren’t in time to stop him at all. By then, Xiao Chenlei had already risen 10,000 feet high up into the sky.

Right at this moment, Ji Mo, whom he was carrying on his shoulder, let out a groan. “Elder… I feel so terrible… It seems like…”

Alarmed, Xiao Chenlei asked, “What’s wrong?”

Thinking to himself that this last chance to overturn the situation had better not go wrong, he lowered his head and looked over.

Yet he felt a chill in his chest. A dagger stabbed savagely into his chest! Right into his heart!

On his shoulder, Ji Mo blinked and smiled at him. “Shall I kill you?!”
