Du Xiao felt like he was dreaming or sothing. He could’ve suspected anyone, but he could never have suspected ng Luo.
After all, ng Luo and his ng Clan had been most supportive of this alliance. Moreover, ng Clan had been the most forceful since Ao Xie Yun’s hunt had begun. The reason for this was very simple — the ng Clan had co to a dead end. So, they had been hoping to benefit from this chaos.
On top of that, ng Luo had never gotten along with Ao Xie Yun. In fact, a selfish guy like ng Luo would never break an alliance for Ao Xie Yun’s sake even if they had been friends.
Therefore, this betrayal had co from the most unlikely person.
This matter had made Ou Du Xiao, Tian Bu Hui, and the others depressed, angry, and puzzled at the sa ti.
[What the hell is this?]
[ng Luo has had several opportunities to let Ao Xie Yun escape in the past. He could’ve silently sent Ao Xie Yun out of the encirclent at several instances. But, he didn’t do that. Therefore, all of us had felt quite reassured!]
[Why didn’t he act before if there was indeed so sort of collaboration between him and Ao Xie Yun?]
[Did he want to act at the last mont when Ao Xie Yun was completely cornered, and it was absolutely impossible for him to escape? Did he intentionally wait until all of Ao Xie Yun’s loyal subordinates were dead...? Wouldn’t it be useless if he rescued Ao Xie Yun like that?]
[Does he think that Ao Xie Yun will simply forget everything?]
Everyone’s heads had turned into a mushy paste from thinking too much. And, the more they thought about it, the more confusing it beca.
[However, things have co to a point where the situation seems completely out of our control. So, we must continue to chase even if we don’t understand what is going on. After all, we would be done for if we allowed Ao Xie Yun to return to the Ao Clan...]
More than a thousand people bellowed, and began to chase.
Gu Du Xing was darting away like a teor while carrying Ao Xie Yun. Ao Xie Yun felt as if he was riding on the clouds. He thankfully said, "Thank you very much for rescuing , Senior. May I ask who you are?"
Ao Xie Yun was obviously a very knowledgeable and experienced person. And, he had noticed that all of the enemy’s swords had started to issue orderly sword cries the mont Gu Du Xing’s sword had co out of the sheath. In fact, it had seed as if they were worshiping their emperor. So, Ao Xie Yun had imdiately co to realize that this man was a Sword Emperor.
This was the so-called example of ’I’ve never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running around’. There hadn’t been such a Sword Emperor in the Middle Three Heavens for centuries. However, Ao Xie Yun was the successor of the number-one clan of the Middle Three Heavens. So, how could he not recognize a Sword Emperor?
Therefore, he naturally assud that, [Soone with this kind of cultivation has to be a highly skilled senior expert!]
Gu Du Xing lightly smiled behind the mask and said, "Evil Young Master, I am Gu Du Xing."
Ao Xie Yun nearly collapsed to the ground as soon as he heard this.
In fact, he would’ve fallen down from the shock if it weren’t for Gu Du Xing holding him.
[What is this? Is this truly that Gu Du Xing who is equally famous as ?]
[This Sword Emperor... turned out to be Gu Du Xing?] Ao Xie Yun’s mind instantly blacked out.
[How did he suddenly beco a Sword Emperor? And... how can I be equally famous as him if that’s the case?]
Gu Du Xing had covered a distance of ten-thousand feet at a stretch. Then, he shrugged his shoulder up, and threw Ao Xie Yun away. Dong Wu Shang let out a bellow, turned into a starry saber-light together with his saber, and caught Ao Xie Yun. Then, he dashed away like a saber beam while carrying Ao Xie Yun on his back.
Ao Xie Yun didn’t ask anything this ti. Instead, he just slightly sighed, and whispered, "Dong Wu Shang, thank you!"
He felt a sense of loss in his heart, [Those two were once equally famous as . However, one has beco a Sword Emperor, and the other has beco a Saber Emperor now. And, I’m still a re Sixth Grade Martial King. Yet, I’ve been pushed forward to the rank of ’number-one young master of the younger generation of the Middle Three Heavens’.]
[Would I have obtained that title if I didn’t belong to the Ao Clan?]
[It’s no wonder that people don’t acknowledge as the number-one. Why would they do so when they know that my clan is the reason behind my success?]
[However, Gu Du Xing and Dong Wu Shang have achieved success based on their own hard work... one step at a ti. How can I ever compare myself with them? Who would give any importance if I lost the title of ’Ao Clan’s Eldest Young Master’?]
Ao Xie Yun sighed sorrowfully.
He hadn’t sighed or lost heart when he was facing a hopeless situation of life and death. However, he felt inferior deep down at this mont.
[I am inferior!]
’Ao Clan’s Eldest Young Master’— this title is my biggest enemy..." Ao Xie Yun mocked himself in his heart.
Gu Du Xing and the others had restored their original physiques when they had snatched Ao Xie Yun and dashed off. So, they no longer had that ticulously transford appearance. Firstly, they had done this so that they could display their strength to the maximum. Secondly, it was to make Ao Xie Yun recognize them. Otherwise, nothing good would’ve been gained if so misunderstanding had arisen...
Whiz whiz whiz...
The seven individuals pushed forward towards the mountain forest like an orderly group of shooting stars while tracing long marks on the ground.
ng Luo and the people of his clan were doing their utmost to keep up. And, the experts of ng Clan who had fallen behind were being wiped out by the raging experts of the other clans.
Many people had been killed. In fact, only two Martial Emperors were left by ng Luo’s side at this mont. However, ng Luo was still extrely excited.
[Ao Xie Yun has finally been snatched away. And, I’ve managed to win Young Lord Ye’s trust.]
[Young Lord Ye should appreciate even more, right? He-he, I was so decisive back there. I snatched Ao Xie Yun with such determination and decisiveness. This is the direct descendent of Ao Clan... he’s the bearer of pure bloodline. He’s the key to opening the dragon’s vein wherein lies the hidden treasure-house of the Nine Tribulations Sword Master.]
[I’ve provided such a great service to Young Lord Ye, he he, he he...]
[I can now get my hands on a part of the treasures of the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, right? Furthermore, I will get an opportunity to rush straight into the Upper Three Heavens...]
ng Luo was fleeing while thinking all this. He felt as if his body was full of inexhaustible energy at the mont.
He obviously had his own plans as well, [I had better call the ng Clan’s ancestor, and bring along several experts as backup when we go to find the hidden treasure.]
[This Young Lord Ye looks like an idiot. However, I can’t rule out the possibility that he won’t destroy the bridge after crossing the river...]
[But, the first step has finally been taken no matter what happens afterwards. And, there is no turning back now that it’s done. So, I can only keep going onwards bravely even if it is risky.]
[Since ancient tis... all those who have beco successful... when have they not taken risk? Riches and honor are always found amidst danger.] ng Luo kept comforting himself in his heart.
[How can there be a huge harvest without huge investnt?]
[How can one attain a magnificent future without making effort in the present day?]
[This might be the case of ’Heaven never seals off all exits’. There will appear a new way out even in the most adverse and hopeless circumstances. And, it will be more powerful than any other way.]
All sorts of inspirational allusions erged in ng Luo’s heart in an instant; [I believe that I, ng Luo will beco a new legend in the Middle Three Heavens in the near future.]
[Who would dare to say that what I did today was wrong after I beco successful...? But, there will surely be so people who’d envy my sinister insight and my guts to make this investnt... along with my resolution to go forward with strategy.]
[You beco a king if you co out victorious, and you beco a bandit if you lose. There is no place for compassion, duty, propriety, and integrity.]
[This is fu*king Jianghu for god’s sake!]
Finally, ng Luo fiercely said this in his heart, and then continued to happily rush in the forward direction.
However, the pursuing brigade was getting closer and closer. And, a dozen or more Emperor Level Experts were very close.
The Third Grade Martial Emperor clenched his teeth. Then, he shouted out loud, "All Martial Kings, stay behind and block the enemy. Today is the matter of our ng Clan’s survival. The Young Lord has already endured humiliation as a part of an important mission for ng Clan’s sake. You people won’t be able to run away from the Emperor Experts at your current speeds. So, you might as well sacrifice your lives for the clan. Don’t worry. This old man swears on his life that your family mbers will live comfortably after you are gone. This old man will make sure that they won’t have to face any humiliation until their last mont."
The dozens of King Level Experts that had survived this far had already given up all hope. And, these words made them so thrilled that they wanted to die.
"Don’t worry, Second Elder. We’ll leave Young Lord ng in your capable hands. But, please don’t forget the promise that you’ve made to us subordinates today... regarding the safety of our family mbers..."
They suddenly stopped after shouting this out. Then, they rushed back to fight with everything they had.
They all had the sa mindset – to take down the enemy with themselves.
Everyone knew in their heart, [Second Elder spoke the truth. The situation already looks very dire. It doesn’t look like we’d be able to survive today. So, it’s better to trade our lives for the safety of our family mbers.]
[Our ng Clan would storm into the Upper Three Heavens as long as Young Lord and Second Elder get out alive from this. Then, our family mbers will be able to get the best care. Moreover, our children will flourish in the Upper Three Heavens.]
[We feel content in our hearts even though we’re about to die.]
Then, several explosive sounds were heard. And, this was followed by several screams. The King Level Experts of the ng Clan had launched a suicide-attack to block the enemy.
The two Emperor Level Experts of ng Clan heaved a deep sigh. And, their faces suddenly turned red at the sa ti. They picked up ng Luo, and simultaneously started a secret technique of burning their vitality. Their speed instantly beca threefold as a result. And, they followed Chu Yang and the others like shooting stars.
A trace of intense bitterness flashed in ng Luo’s eyes. He said in his heart, [The kings are already dead. It’s a pity. However, it was a last resort. In fact, I would even make these two Emperor Experts go all-out to obstruct the enemy in the na of the clan’s future if the worse cos to the worst. After all, that would give a slim chance of survival.]
[Everything will be worth it as long as I can escape. And, I will have as many Emperor Experts as I want afterwards.]
[Moreover, these people have been continuously chasing for such a long ti. All of them must be exhausted and spent. I believe that they won’t necessarily be able to catch up with us... Furthermore, they can’t possibly be prepared to face a Young Lord that has a Sword Emperor, a Saber Emperor, and a mystical expert by his side...
[The pursuers have an overwhelming nurical strength. So, we may not be able to defeat them. However, we should be able to escape without any issue.]
The experts of the other clans had been pursuing like the wind, while the ng Clan’s experts had been running away in a battered and exhausted state. So, how could the pursuers have anticipated that the ng Clan’s experts would suddenly turn around to fight a decisive battle with them?
The pursuers got held up for a while as they eliminated all these suicidal King Level Experts. Subsequently, they could only see a boundless mountain forest in front of them. After all, their targets had already disappeared without a trace...
Tian Bu Hui and the other young masters caught up at this mont. They were panting, and their complexions had turned extrely gloomy.
"Find them! At any cost!" Tu Qian Hao’s gaze turned vicious.
"Set fire! Burn down the entire mountain forest!" Ou Du Xiao had beco even more poisonous.
These two had issued commands at the sa ti.
The two Emperor Experts beside ng Luo continued to use the secret thod of burning their vitality for about half-an-hour before they were finally able to catch up with Chu Yang and his party. However, they hadn’t caught up with them of their own rit since Chu Yang and the others had been taking a short break at the summit during this ti.
"Young Lord!" ng Luo stepped forward jubilantly while panting. He then said while laughing gently, "Finally, mission has been accomplished! This man is the bearer of the Ao Clan’s pure bloodline. And, we have finally succeeded in obtaining him."
Tan Tan said while beaming with smiles, "You worked hard."
ng Luo let out a carefree smile. Then, he said in a loyal and devoted manner, "It’s an honor to work for Young Lord. So, how can it be called hard work?"
However, he wiped his sweat as he said this... as if it was in fact a very hard work. He then sowhat eagerly asked, "Young Lord, what should we do next?"
"Well, next... you may go back. You don’t need to follow anymore," Tan Tan casually replied.
"This is... what?" ng Luo suddenly couldn’t believe his own ears. He said while stamring, "Young Lord, you... you’re joking right..."
"Fu*k off! Joking, you say? Who would be interested in joking with soone like you?" Tan Tan got furious, and started to rant, "I don’t even bother to joke with the children back ho. So, why would I be interesting in joking with you? Get lost motherfu*ker! Why are you still here? Don’t tell you’re still thinking of depending on ? You think I wouldn’t destroy the bridge after crossing the river? Why would I keep you? Who the fu*k do you think you are?! Fu*k off! Shoo!"
It turned dark before ng Luo’s eyes. His entire body suddenly started to shudder.
