I Am Supreme

Yun Yang had been preparing for three whole days for this very moment.

He had given it a lot of thought. First, he showcased his ace skill, the Divine Edge, as much as he could in the battle to intimidate the Four Seasons Tower and cause them a headache in order for them to devise other strategies.

Next, he exposed Ji Lingxi's mystical retaliation power that he should have kept as his trump card to elevate his opponents' dilemma, forcing them to cook up a way to avoid Ji Lingxi and attack him instead.

Under such circumstances, Yun Yang had actually left three options open to the Four Seasons Tower. They could either go head on against him with heavy weaponry, ambush him with secret weapons, or prolong the battle to deplete his strength.

Otherwise, they would never be able to evade Yun Yang's saber and Ji Lingxi's retaliatory force.

As for the three options, no matter which one the Four Seasons Tower had picked ultimately, Yun Yang could adapt to it and lead the situation to his desired outcome.

Putting himself in his enemy's shoes, Yun Yang made a further inference after more thorough consideration. The optimum method would be to combine these three tactics into one. After all, if he were Mr. Nian, he would choose this mode of attack anyway.

To pick the three-in-one tactic did not mean that the Four Seasons Tower or Mr. Nian was stupid. It was because such a stratagem was the singular correct attack mode, targeting the two trump cards Yun Yang had revealed.

Other than that, there was no other route.

They could not keep away from Yun Yang's saber. If they remained fighting or continued to ambush him, they would all be killed by Yun Yang sooner or later - or slaughtered by Ji Lingxi's backlash. Even if their target were Yun Yang, what could they do if Ji Lingxi suddenly pounced on Yun Yang?

It was totally foreseeable and they could not even steer clear of it!

In addition, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi's cultivation base were exceptionally high. It was also difficult to separate them and annihilate them one after another.

Therefore, there was really only one choice if they wanted to kill Supreme Cloud in Tianxuan Cliff, regardless of Mr. Nian's remarkable intelligence. They had waited for years for today's final battle - how could they leave in the middle of it?

How could they leave when they had the advantage of numbers as well?

It was impossible.

At long last, the Four Seasons Tower's men had unwittingly entered the deadly trap Yun Yang had painstakingly arranged!

In hindsight, if Yun Yang was not supported by his greatest trump card, Emmie, the Four Seasons Tower's option could actually be the only way to exterminate both Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi. Yet, who could have imagined that he had Emmie, a logic-defying cheat that exceeded everyone's knowledge, and overturned the circumstances, accomplishing a situation where all the tables were turned?

The crux actually lied in the last step - whether Yun Yang could pursue the Four Seasons Tower's men to their resting base when they withdrew upon knowing the truth and assassinate them while they were unaware.

This was an opportunity Yun Yang had toiled on for three days and three nights after following suit with whatever his enemy decided on; it was a chance he almost died fighting for. How could he let it slip by so easily?

Even Yun Yang himself felt that perhaps he would only come across an opening like this once throughout his entire life! Once they knew about his ace card, they would never commit the same mistake twice the next time around.

This was the reason Yun Yang had gone full force in this ambush.

The saber light shone, reaching the heavens, casting even the thick heavy blanket of fog aside. Wherever the saber light reached, a symphony of cries rang out. The crimson gleam of blood glared ferociously.

The Four Seasons Tower's men, pinnacle experts atop of the martial world's peak cultivators, were like lambs led to the slaughter now, stripped of any ability to defend themselves.

Ji Lingxi, who was beside Yun Yang, was merciless with her sword as well. Wielding and waving it gracefully, sword light engulfed the valley from end to end.

The couple was like two unstoppable killing machines, trampling anyone who was in their way.

Their powerful momentum was akin to breaking dead branches and crushing dry weeds, potently sweeping any obstacle out of their path.

During that very minute, even Mr. Nian's gaze seemed to be dazed from despair.

With the snap of one's fingers, heads rolled and limbs flew, severed from their owners…

The Four Seasons Tower's men were at the lowest point of their entire lives. Directly faced with Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi's full-forced ambush, there was no lucky exception. Many of them who were splayed on the ground did not even have the chance to stand up again.

When Yun Yang had killed six and Ji Lingxi had killed five of the Four Seasons Tower's experts, their murderous dynamic took a slight pause.

The four people who returned the earliest from the ambush rotation and Mr. Nian who just came back, pushed themselves, exerting their vitality potency, and managed to temporarily stop Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi, despite harming themselves in the process too.

In spite of this, they only saved three men.

Mr. Nian had exerted himself to keep up his attacking momentum and drove the couple slightly away before one of his legs made a kick during the momentous gap, kicking the three men who had collapsed on the ground out of fatigue far while growling "Go quickly!" as they bounced and rolled far away like three hapless balls.

Before his cry could echo, his sword slithered and exuded sword energy dozens of feet long, mightily stopping Yun Yang, who was hell-bent on uprooting the entire tower.

At this very moment, the Four Seasons Tower's honorable lord had lost his previous elegance.

The four people who fought alongside Mr. Nian currently were Autumn Bearer, Summer Bearer, Winter Bearer, and a God's Bone Bearer. As for the other Four Seasons Tower experts, whether they possessed God's Bones or were only ordinary months, all of them were already killed by Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi.

Since the juncture of the couple initiating their ambush, a total of eleven men had lost their lives in just about a dozen breaths' time. The pinnacle forces of this world had still died with a swift slash.

Despite bearing God's Bones and having a more superior physique compared to the ordinary man, they could not parry the Divine Edge's unparalleled sharpness, especially when Yun Yang had triggered his maximum limit and wielded the saber with his all.

This was already proven earlier, while they were thoroughly spent now; it was truly not too surprising to come to such a result!

The blood on the ground could almost form a river, the copper scent and crimson gore enveloping the entire valley.

Mr. Nian was in heart-wrenching anguish, resentment lacing the fury licking in him. More than half of the God's Bones Bearers whom the Four Seasons Tower had spent millenniums gathering one by one were lost while four Seasons and twelve Months who had been together for thousands of years were either dead or wounded…

To build these pillar forces of the Four Seasons Tower, countless Venerable Lords were sacrificed during these painstakingly long years - they were recruited, bones were planted, nourished, extracted, melted… Countless lives were sacrificed to weave the glory that was the Four Seasons Tower.

Now, was such a powerful cadre of individuals to be buried here?

Mr. Nian was rather regretful then. What if he had not cared about the prophecy?

He and Heaven's Inquisition, Gu Chaliang, would still be best friends, and he would still be a heaven-obeying man!

Let the Nine Supremes rise! Their initial intention was only to protect Yutang. When Yutang conquered this world, they would eventually quieten down. The Four Seasons Tower would still dominate the martial world and several hundred years later, maybe the Nine Supremes would no longer be in this realm.

The Four Seasons Tower had waited for millenniums. Why were they in a hurry to wet themselves in this puddle?

"Either one soars to the nine heavens or one sinks deep into extinction. It's fixed. It's destined!"
