Chapter 822: The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff (4)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Although Supreme Cloud was lucky enough to escape the last Tianxuan Cliff incident, he was severely injured. Considering the information we have today, his so-called title of ‘glutton’ obviously came from his actions of healing himself with plenty of heaven and earth resources and mystical beasts meat due to the damage done to him. The entire duration took more than eight full months. It was also about a year after the Tianxuan incident that our spies were put down, one by one.”

“This proved that the moment Supreme Cloud returned to Tiantang City, he’d immediately taken action, finding clues in an extremely short time and proceeding to catch them!”

“How’s such intelligence for all of you?”

Mr. Nian gazed at the group and continued, “Even if we disregard the clever setup, Supreme Cloud then only had the ability of an ant. Yet, it was with such shallow ant-like capability that he single-handedly overturned the whole Four Seasons Tower. Each of you can call yourself a martial world veteran, arrogantly grumbling and complaining, but you can’t even catch the young man! How ludicrously laughable!”

“To this day, Supreme Cloud’s abilities have advanced big time, but all of you are still pacing on the same spot, being surpassed, overshadowed, and trumped!”

“Today, Supreme Cloud has come forth and openly asked us for the final battle. All of you know only to blame me, why didn’t I agree to it instantly - why didn’t I make a move at once?”

“All of you blindly and optimistically assumed that this was the best opportunity to get rid of Supreme Cloud!”

“You thought that you only needed this battle before you could live in peace once and for all.”

“Your imagination is wonderful but too bad you all are too ugly; it’s futile, no matter how wonderful you think things to be.”

“Didn’t you wonder why the wise Supreme Cloud would propose to have the final battle at this time?”

Mr. Nian’s icy gaze ran over the group.

“In other words, if he had no confidence, why would he suddenly propose the final battle?”

“Could Supreme Cloud have suddenly lost his mind? Did he wish to rush headlong into his own death?”

“Have not a single one of you thought about it? If Supreme Cloud didn’t have substantial confidence that he could obtain revenge, why would he have suggested the final battle at this time? It’s evident that the longer time passes, the more secure his status as a living legend will be! There’s room for his capability to advance further as well!”

“Then comes the next question - what gave him such boost of confidence? If he were to face the entire Four Seasons Tower, what else could ensure an absolute success other than ravaging combat power?”

Mr. Nian sneered and glanced at each person in the group.

“The reality now is concrete evidence that none of you have even thought about these facts. I’ve said more than once that going against Yun Yang, going against the current Supreme Cloud, we must regard the danger seriously, even beyond the threat that Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou posed. All of you agreed openly, but honestly, none of you were convinced. You were even quite recalcitrant with my arrangement.”

“The final battle is about to happen, but your individual pride has still taken over most of your mind!”

“Spring is a significant figure and you watched with your own eyes that he went to fight on his own, but what was the outcome? All seven of them were wiped out immediately!”

“We have the thick fog teeming and even limited the battle within the spiritual restraining formations. We basically had the advantage of location but in the end? The second time when eight people went to ambush them, two were injured and two were killed!” Mr. Nian said in anguish, “The Four Seasons Tower’s twenty-nine pinnacle forces are here - each one can handle a challenge on their own in the martial world, each one can triumph over an entire territory! Unfortunately, it was only a skirmish and nine people have already died!”

“Did anyone of you actually think that this could have happened?”

“What do you mean Supreme Cloud’s saber is sharp like no other? Did you think that Yun Yang only got his weapon today? Isn’t one’s well-crafted weapon part of his combat power’s reflection? Whoever said that should be beaten to death alive!”

“He knew that the advantages of timing, location, and manpower were all not on his side, but he still came as promised. Why are you so surprised that he had a special weapon? Are you all never on guard about your opponent’s weapon when you fight? Killed in such a manner, and yet you dare shout about being maligned? How are you being maligned?”

“As for the young girl who has an odd physique…” Mr. Nian sighed. “Isn’t this reasonable and to be expected?”

“If she had no special abilities, why would Supreme Cloud bring a delicate little girl to this final battle? Just because she’s exceptionally capable and could fight?”

Mr. Nian continued in a fit of rage, “In such a final, decisive, battle, anyone whom Supreme Cloud brings along must be one who can be of immense help to him! Since she is of great assistance to him, she must be a perilous threat to us. Isn’t this minor recognition expected and well within reason? Why weren’t you extra cautious of the aide he brought along, someone whose identity and background you are unaware of?”

“Why didn’t he come with Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou? Why did he pick this little girl instead? Has no one thought of this?”

“When you get hurt, when you get killed, then you come running over to tell me that Supreme Cloud’s saber is problematic, Supreme Cloud’s woman is problematic!”

“Are you all fools?”

“Have you wasted all these years you spent living? How can you make such a rudimentary mistake! Each one of you has the cheek to whine to me that I shouldn’t have regarded Supreme Cloud so highly; where are your hearts?”

Mr. Nian rubbed the center of his brows tiredly and asked, “What more do you have to say now? What else do you want to argue about? Tell me!”

A middle-aged man who wore red looked ashamed and sighed soundlessly. This person was the bearer of Summer and initially had the same thought as the Spring Bearer who had already been killed by Yun Yang.

If it were not the Spring Bearer who stepped up first, he who had the same idea might already be the one who was first killed by Yun Yang. Looking at it now, the lingering fear towards death and the unknown surrounded the man.

“What’s the point now to insist on these previous matters? Are you watching so many brothers being killed by Supreme Cloud without doing anything, just for this idiotic reason?” the Winter Bearer who wore all white asked with a frown.

“A team that has no teamwork may very well cease to exist instead,” Mr. Nian spoke faintly, “Subordinates who cannot follow instructions and cannot trust their leader… what difference does it make when they die?”

“If we survive, there’ll be more enemies of the same level we have to face in the future. Even if I save them today, they’ll inevitably die, killed by someone else.”

“Since that’s the case, it’s simpler for those with ulterior motives to die right here, right now.”

“After all, only by speaking the truth can the memory stay fresh and evergreen!”

“Even if only one man is left in the end, I wish he will be one who completely trusts the correct leader.”

Someone voiced up in discontent, “Must one have an ulterior motive just because they have doubts and voices a contrasting opinion?”

“To me, that is as good as having an ulterior mind!” Mr. Nian answered flatly.

He stood with his arms resting on his back and paced two steps around before he sat down and continued speaking, “Think about it. What methods do we have to tackle Supreme Cloud’s saber and what magic does that strange young girl have? How do we now go about this?”
