The speed of a Saint Sovereign expert was truly astonishing; in the blink of an eye, these seven figures had arrived before the two young masters!
“Bage! Who was it that just struck?” In the eyes of Chuangshang Beidao, furious flames burned as he glared at Jun Moxie and the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells. Yet, a flicker of surprise also crossed his gaze: was the poison master a pair? Not just one person? No, that couldn’t be right…
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells’ face instantly turned frigid.
What manner of person was he?
Even though Chuangshang Beidao had reached the Fourth Level of the Saint Sovereign realm, he had no right to bellow so insolently in his presence!
How could such a disgusting alien dare to insult the dignity of the foremost expert under Heaven?
Jun Moxie’s eyes also sharpened, but after thinking of something, he subtly, almost unconsciously, took a half-step back.
Chuangshang Beidao hadn't truly seen Jun Moxie’s real appearance before. Although he sensed that Jun Moxie’s cultivation was quite formidable, enough to match him almost equally, in his heart, that astonishing might capable of turning lightning into thunder with a single glance clearly did not emanate from this young man.
And this current ability, capable of shattering heaven and earth, was certainly not something a Fourth Level Saint Sovereign could accomplish.
This fair-robed youth could gauge upon a glance that his own cultivation was on par with his, so he naturally could not be that mysterious, peerless powerhouse. It was the black-robed man, whose chilling aura was so profound that one couldn’t see the bottom of it—even with his own cultivation, he couldn't clearly discern the true appearance of that person!
Without a doubt, this man was an unfathomably dangerous figure!
And absolutely a peak master of the highest order!
Therefore, the answer was obvious; this entire series of rapid changes did not originate from him… who else could it be?
Thus, though he posed a question, his eyes, like venomous snakes, were firmly locked onto the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells!
This person was definitely the primary adversary!
The lives of hundreds of thousands of my clan were forfeited because of this sinister black-robed man! Looking at his strangely sinister demeanor, he couldn't be a good person; such demonic methods could only be his specialty. That handsome young man, with his delicate features, clearly lacked such vile techniques and such a cruel heart…
It was this man who carried the mountain of blood debt our Shenri Clan bears today!
Chuangshang Beidao and the other six Saint Sovereigns instantly had their eyes turn bloodshot!
They stared deathly at the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells, wishing immediately that they could pounce forward and tear every bit of flesh from his body, devouring him alive!
“Insolent fool!” The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells roared in anger, feeling deeply wronged. How could he not know that he was once again taking the blame for that black-hearted, pale-faced little thief Jun? But with the great enemy before them, there was no point in speaking or clarifying. In his rage, naturally, his expression grew worse, and he glared fiercely at Chuangshang Beidao: “Seeing this young master, you actually refuse to kneel and beg for death, still daring to resist the majesty of this young master!?”
That sinister voice was like a biting, icy wind blowing out from a freezer, chilling the soul.
“You bastard who deserves a thousand cuts! You heartless executioner!” Chuangshang Beidao was nearly driven mad by the words of the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells, his eyes red as he articulated each word: “I’ll curse your ancestors, I’ll curse your entire lineage ahhhhhh…”
The expression hidden beneath the black mist surrounding the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells instantly became utterly hideous!
The atmosphere between them was already tense, and Chuangshang Beidao’s declaration was simply adding fuel to the fire, instantly turning the weather from a hot summer day to a frigid winter!
The chilling atmosphere naturally originated from the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells! Black mist coiled around him, and the temperature of the entire space plummeted drastically!
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells was about to explode with fury!
This alien was truly an imbecile! He couldn't even ascertain who had made the move just now, yet he rashly began his inquest! Strictly speaking, since both sides were natural enemies, it wouldn’t matter much, but… it clearly wasn't me, and yet you dare curse my ancestors to my face? What exactly did my ancestors do to offend you?
What kind of creature are you?
Jun Moxie, positioned slightly behind the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells, let out a faint sigh, his voice heavy with concern: “Although both sides are enemies, and in battle, the sword knows no eyes—to die on the battlefield is the lot of a true man, a fitting end—such massive slaughter does indeed slightly harm the harmony of Heaven…”
Young Master Jun’s handsome face adopted an air of saintly purity, a façade of benevolent compassion. He continued in a gentle tone: “Even ants are living beings… these aliens, although undeniably disgusting, are still…” Cattle are born from cows, and humans are born from humans… although they might not be cattle nor truly human, they were still born from their mothers, and that much, at least, is an undeniable fact…”
Understanding is paramount!
Chuangshang Beidao felt an immense sense of relief and satisfaction listening to this short speech from Young Master Jun, almost moved to tears. This sounded like something a human would say… Look at the bearing of that handsome young man, unlike this black-clad butcher? … What did he mean by 'not cattle and not human'? What was so undeniable?
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells turned his head in utter astonishment toward Jun Moxie, never imagining that such a massive accusation would land squarely on his shoulders out of thin air.
What was this fellow’s intention? Spreading such blatant falsehoods with an open face?
Once Jun Moxie uttered those words, the supposed “crimes” of the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells became ironclad evidence! An irrefutable case!
Even their own side accused you, and you still think you can deny it?
It was believed that even if Young Master Jun were to step forward now and retract his statement, claiming that he had orchestrated all these events himself, Chuangshang Beidao and the others would not believe him. Not only would they not believe it, they would scoff at the notion—truly like a toad yawning—what an astonishing boast! With only your newly attained Fourth Level Saint Sovereign cultivation, you could cause such a ruckus? Don’t try to glorify yourself!
Even if you’re boasting, you don't boast like this…
As for Jun Moxie's underlying motive, it was quite simple: since the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells was here anyway, idling away his time, he might as well find something productive to do. These Saint Sovereigns currently present were excellent targets. If the Fourteenth Young Master were to lend a hand and deal with all of them, this battle would become much easier. Even if he couldn't eliminate them all, dispatching a few would still be a positive outcome…
The Fourteenth Young Master was responsible for the top-tier combatants, while he focused on the fray below—a perfect complementarity. Besides, if the Fourteenth Young Master were to command troops, no one would listen to him anyway… Having him deal with these Saint Sovereigns was utilizing his talents to the fullest, or at the very least, making use of waste material…
“You, the great expert of the Profound Continent, do you dare to fight our clan’s great expert?” Chuangshang Beidao’s challenge made both Jun Moxie and the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells pause in surprise: these fellows, who arrived spitting venom and bristling with hostility, weren't attacking directly, but instead issuing a challenge? Were the main players in this decisive battle not these individuals before them?
Could it be that they have an even more powerful expert over there? Was that possible? Among the three great holy lands, Gu Han was the strongest, but even when Gu Han was at his peak, he was likely only slightly stronger than a Fourth Level Saint Sovereign, at most reaching the Half-Saint tier, and perhaps not even matching the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells.
Seeing the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells in person, yet Chuangshang Beidao still dared to issue a challenge meant that the alien race possessed even stronger experts, perhaps even supreme experts who were not inferior to the Fourteenth Young Master. Considering this, the Profound Continent side appeared to be at a disadvantage in the comparison of top-tier powerhouses, Jun Moxie concluded after a rapid flurry of thoughts.
“Although all these people are at the Saint Sovereign level, even if the seven of them joined forces, they still wouldn’t be our match, yet they charged forward nonetheless. They must have some reliance,” Jun Moxie suddenly had an inspiration and sent a secret transmission: “I deduce they must have backup; and this backup must be significantly stronger than them. If that is truly the case, I might genuinely be unable to handle this person with my current strength. Furthermore, my fighting style is better suited for chaotic melees; solitary combat is truly not my forte. I must trouble you, Fourteenth Young Master… You aren’t doing anything important here anyway, so go and engage their expert in a decisive battle…”
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells was so enraged by this despicable rhetoric that he nearly fainted.
What kind of person was this? What kind of words were these?
Even shifting disaster elsewhere wasn't done like this…
What nonsense is this about you not being good at one-on-one combat? Bah, go peddle that nonsense elsewhere!
If you’re not proficient, who in this world is?
“You, the great expert of the Profound Continent, do you have the courage to accompany me? To meet our clan’s great expert who is at the same level as you!” Chuangshang Beidao ground his teeth as he addressed the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells: “Do you dare?”
That phrase, “Do you dare?”, was a direct challenge.
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells rolled his eyes and replied chillingly: “Your clan’s great expert? What sort of thing is that? Aren’t they also disgusting perverts? Such trash dares to challenge this young master? What is there for this young master to not dare? What place in this world is there that this young master dare not go? Lead the way!”
Who was the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells? He was the universally acknowledged foremost expert, and in his life, he had never once backed down from a challenge!
Coupled with the strategic plan Jun Moxie had covertly communicated, the Fourteenth Young Master was also perceptive. Although he felt he had been tricked by Jun Moxie again, he understood that what Jun Moxie said was indeed the truth. His remaining here was certainly less useful than Jun Moxie’s potential. It would be better to go wipe out the alien lair and take a stroll…
Furthermore, since this "great expert" was being mentioned by Chuangshang Beidao, a peak Fourth Level Saint Sovereign, it must be an exceptionally significant supreme expert, certainly not a trivial one. Battling such a master was the kind of opportunity he dreamed of. He was currently right on the cusp of a breakthrough, and more experience in fierce combat could only benefit him.
Thinking of this, the Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells even felt a surge of excitement.
How does one achieve breakthroughs and progress? By fighting against higher-level experts! To cultivate through battle, to elevate one's realm!
The Fourteenth Young Master of the Nine Hells hadn't encountered a truly worthy opponent in a long time; such a good opportunity was truly rare. Jun Moxie winked conspiratorially via transmission: “A duel between top masters, truly enviable. Well, are you grateful to me now? You owe me another favor, remember to repay it!”
“I remember, how could I forget? I’ll settle accounts with you properly when I return!” the Fourteenth Young Master secretly transmitted back without changing his expression. Then he coldly addressed Chuangshang Beidao: “You piece of trash, why aren't you leading the way? What are you waiting for?”
Chuangshang Beidao saw that the Fourteenth Young Master had agreed and hissed: “Since you aren’t afraid to die, very well! Follow me!”
Chuangshang Beidao actually felt a faint trace of secret glee in his heart.
When they first arrived, he had intended to rely on sheer brute force and the combined strength of their seven selves to encircle and suppress this peerless expert. But upon arrival, he realized things were vastly unexpected: Shenri ah, why were there two of them instead of one?
