Only then was everyone really surprised. They all stood up and looked around; everyone’s face were filled with confusion and worry.
The trembling became stronger, and so did the rumbling noises. The entire mountain began to shake.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s happening?” Everyone started to gather together and ask around.
Mo Xiao Yao’s pupil shrank as he looked at the sword peak. He shouted, “Everyone! Run! The Sword Peak is going to collapse!” His eyes were staring so intensely and focused on the peak that they were about to pop out of their sockets.
He realized that the sword peak was falling toward them at a extremely slow pace! Despite it being slow, it was clearly visible, like a giant falling down.
But it was too late!
A long and loud cry ripped through the air, so intense it cut through the heavens!
A voice as clear and sharp as a sword shook the heavens and the earth, echoing in the mountain range, almost as if it was declaring to the world:
“Driving out all Xuan Beasts from Tian Fa, the collapse of the snow-covered sword peak! The oath is now be broken! The Dong Fang family reigns forever!”
The robust cry echoed for a long time, at this moment, it was even louder than the loud commotion of the collapsing peak!
As Mo Xiao Yao’s pupils shrunk further from fear, catching sight of a small white figure suddenly shooting out of the sword peak with a shrill cry. In a blink of an eye, it shot back toward at the sword peak like a meteor, bursting the skies with dazzling sword light!
As if a blinding sun appeared midair and flew at the sword peak, knocking at it crazily!
There was no hesitation in this knocking, and coupled with the gradual and slowly collapsing mountain peak, it sent shivers down one’s spine, as if the world were coming to an end!
It was as if the entire world was thrown into absolute disaster, yet it seemed like everything had stopped moving. Loud noises could be heard everywhere, but it seemed as if Mo Xiao Yao couldn’t hear a thing.
His entire soul was intimidated by the figure and sword light that had appeared suddenly.
The light was almost like the wrath of a furious God that could easily destroy the entire universe!
That crisis of life and death weighed that upon everyone’s heart!
A loud shout ripped across the air: “Collapse!! Sword Peak!!”
Mo Xiao Yao shook his head to regain his senses, shouting desperately in a voice that had turned shrill and sharp from fear. “Everyone! Run!”
Boom! The white figure had crashed heavily into the Sword Peak that was already falling down, becoming the straw that broke the camel’s back!
A mushroom of clouds appeared between the Sword Peak and flew straight to the skies! Countless rock pieces flew out, from small pieces to large pieces in a blink of an eye!
The sword peak that was collapsing slowly suddenly increased in speed, like a tractor that was slowly moving transforming to a Ferrari on full acceleration! It fell toward the tiny speck-like people mercilessly!
This white figure was Jun Mo Xie!
He reached the waist of the mountain and begin his operation. Shooting out, flailing his sword around, both his arms turning into hurricanes. The Blood of Yellow Flame awakened along with his agitated emotions, and sword energy shook the heavens like the roar of a dragon and tiger!
In a blink of an eye, thousands and ten thousands bursts of sword energy shot toward the enormous mountain body. Jun Mo Xie kept his sword, channeling earth-shattering energy in his palms as he fired away at the mountain.
As if in a single breath, hundreds of attacks fell heavily at the same spot! As if a massive, heavy hammer repeatedly hit the same location!
This was the wrath of thunder! This was the might of heaven and earth!
Jun Mo Xie had the cultivation level of a two level Venerable now! Coupled with the power from the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune! Even if there was no damage to the ground beneath the sword peak, he could still make a hole out of it!
Furthermore, now that he had completely hollowed the ground beneath the sword peak, it was as sturdy as a building with no solid foundation! What more, when the sword peak was falling in the direction where Mo Xiao Yao and the rest were, Jun Mo Xie had already dug a vast and endless pit.
With the combined efforts of the top and the bottom...
The collapsing sword peak that had suddenly increased in speed fell down with a loud bang ! Innumerous boulders began to roll down from the mountain; like meteorites, they fell and crashed toward the ground!
Those left on the ground only felt as if the originally blue skies suddenly turned dark in an instant! The height of the Sword Peak was in the thousands, and when it fell down like this, the area it covers was naturally endless! Furthermore, with the falling parts, the area that it covered seemed to have doubled!
Mo Xiao Yao and his party were originally situated near the foot of the sword peak. Now with the speed the peak was collapsing at, it was highly unlikely that those five hundred people could get out of this death circle before the peak fell, even with all their saintly cultivation and training!
When faced with such a terrifying encounter, everyone from the three Holy Lands began to run for their lives, regardless of those who had arrived to ambush or those who had arrived later. They were all like ducks being chased, running for their lives in a crazed state of mind.
Who would still be bothered with principles and mission at this juncture?! Escaping for their lives was the most important thing right now! Everyone looked hysterical and their hearts were completely taken over by the despair and fear of impending death!
Despite everyone clearly knowing that their resistance was futile, they still continued to run. Humans will always treasure their lives; even when faced with a hopeless situation, they will still resist with all their might. If they can live for a minute more, or even a second more...
Whatever manners, status, position, image had all been tossed out of the window, only begrudging that their parents didn’t birth to them them with more legs!
When faced with a terrifying force from the natural environment, no human would be able to stop it. Even if you had the highest cultivation level or skills, you might not be able to survive an ordeal like this!
Mo Xiao Yao and Jia Qing Yun were about to vomit blood!
To think that we were set up!
And driven into such a pathetic state!
Despicable! Shameless! Outrageous! Dirty!
Although they were still unclear on how one could shake a huge ancient mountain with their strength alone, but it was definitely not a coincidence!
The enemy not appearing at the agreed timing, while those that had arrived on time were subjected to a deadly disaster like this, and that peculiar white figure; everything pointed to a fact: this was an enemy set up!
This theory was definitely valid!
We really ate a huge disadvantage this time!
As the two ran with their might, they angrily regretted and chided themselves: We obviously aware that the enemy had no good intentions in asking for a battle, but thought they were too conceited in their own strength and abilities to come forth without any worry. We stuck our necks under the enemy’s chopper and were basically asking to be slaughtered!
Mo Xiao Yao was so distraught that he puked blood! He was confident that his wit and intelligence were unparalleled, but to make a mistake like this and allow himself to be manipulated by the enemy without realizing it!!
They should have retreated the moment he noticed that the enemy had yet to arrive when they had! He noticed something was off, but did not take note of it!
But this turn of events was too ridiculous! Could you even blame this on me? Who the f*ck knew that a good old mountain would collapse just like this! What sort of methods are capable of causing this horrifying disaster! Am I possibly dreaming?
Pei! Even if it is a nightmare, it mustn’t be this frightening!
Mo Xiao Yao almost felt like crying.
What sort of bad luck is this!
Under normal circumstances, when would a Venerable even be needed to make an appearance! Any random great master would be enough to handle everything!
But right now, he brought a whole bunch of great masters and Venerables out, only to be met with a pathetic, tragic end like this? He was still planning to finish Tian Fa and the Jun Family off quickly and returning back to the mountains immediately to prepare for the incoming battle. But he didn’t expect to be crushed by the opponent with a mountain and face the possibility of death!
Am I really not going to survive this and become meat pancakes for real?
He raised his head to look at the looming mountain peak that was getting bigger and bigger. Mo Xiao Yao finally cried. Looks like it’s wishful thinking hoping to turn into meat pancakes, I’m going to be smashed completely, turning into minced meat directly. Goddamnit, you don’t even need to mince the meat for dumplings; we are going to be instant ones for your use...
As a fourth level Venerable expert, a death like this is too aggrieving! I can’t resign to an end like this...
Jia Qing Yun, who was running, suddenly stopped in his tracks and shouted as if he were mad: “Everyone! Stop running! The area the mountain covers is too big! It’s impossible for us to escape before getting crushed! Everyone gather at a spot and channel all our power to fight this disaster; we will only have a possibility of survival if we find a way out! If we all continue running in different directions, we are all going to die!”
His voice was fast and hurried, and just from listening to him, everyone felt as if he were about to throw up blood.
Mo Xiao Yao was awoken instantly and started to join in the shouting.
The two were fourth level Venerables with many years of Xuan Qi cultivation. With such conscientious effort in shouting, their voices were heard instantly despite the commotion in the surroundings!
But hearing was one matter, and following was another!
In an instant, two, three hundred people flew over to their sides instantly, but the remaining continued to run amok like headless flies, doing things their own way.
Especially those who were running the furthest were better skilled in agility; naturally, they believed that they could escape death with their level of abilities. In a life or death situation, who cared about Venerable commands? They continued to run on their own, ignoring the commands from Mo Xiao Yao and Jia Qing Yun as if they were farts. Some others were clearly shaken by this horrific turn of events and were unable to react event if they had heard it.
At this moment...
Bang! The entire ground shook. The first large boulder had finally landed onto the ground!
