Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1486 Phoenix Dance Clears the Sky!

Ji Mo was furiously angry: “You’re so smart? Then tell me what comes after four, five, six! If you can’t, be careful that Ji Er Ye cuts off your dragon whip!”

Ao Xieyun snorted and said, “Just now, we were fighting face to face with swords and knives. We were in the open, and the advantage wasn’t great. But now they don’t know we’re here, and we’re in the shadows, behind them... We can reduce casualties. Understand? Especially for you two idiots, what if you get cut because you’re so clueless? Do you understand?!”

“And with them facing away from us, us being in the shadows, and something in front of them to distract them, they won’t be at ease. Our chances of winning have increased by almost five times! And you still want to fight head-on...”

Ao Xieyun shook his head repeatedly. “I really wonder if there’s tofu residue in your brain or if it’s just tofu residue.”

Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di’s faces turned into those of a monkey’s butt. They wanted to argue, but it wasn’t the time to throw a tantrum, and they really couldn’t refute him.

Indeed, the two of them hadn’t thought of this point. Now that they’ve been scolded, they deserved it.

Ao Xieyun didn’t know what method Chu Yang used to lead the enemy away in front, and he was also confused now. If Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di counterattacked here, Ao Xieyun could only avoid it. But Ji Mo and Luo Ke Di had overlooked this important issue that could turn the tables in their favor...

They glared at each other resentfully, and Ji Mo cursed hatefully, “It’s all your fault, you idiot! You made me follow and be looked down upon...”

Luo Ke Di angrily retorted, “You’re so smart, why didn’t you think of it?”

They gave each other a fierce look, and each turned their faces to the west and east.

They didn’t speak anymore.

Chu Yang, Gu Du Xing, Mo Tian Ji, and the other eight people almost laughed until their stomachs burst.

Ao Xieyun’s words today were truly classic.

“You two, make up the character for the Chinese character ‘well.’ One is the horizontal ‘two,’ and the other is the vertical ‘two.’

I really wonder if there’s tofu residue in your brain or if it’s just tofu residue.”

Regarding this question, it’s not appropriate to answer in a certain way. But everyone didn’t know that Ji Mo had already answered in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and thought: My mind is neither tofu nor tofu dregs, it’s filled with little barking dogs...

...

Up ahead, four white-clothed and masked individuals were chasing after a black figure. In the blink of an eye, they had traversed dozens of miles, with the black figure always maintaining a lead of less than one hundred yards. They were neither able to pull away nor catch up.

The snowflakes in the sky were thick and dense, and if it weren’t for the high cultivation levels of the four individuals, they would have lost the figure long ago. This made them anxious, as the distance was embarrassingly close. If the person they were chasing was weaker than them, only a seventh or sixth rank supreme could be easily killed with a single palm strike, utilizing the full power of their palm to create a force that could shake the heavens and the earth. But the person in front of them was clearly not weaker than them. At this distance, if they missed their strike, they would give the person a chance to use their force as leverage, making it easier for them to escape.

“Boss, what do we do?” one of the white-clothed individuals asked, their eyes filled with a bloodthirsty eagerness.

The leader of the group chased after the figure while surveying the surrounding terrain. Up ahead was a mountain pass, which they had just passed through. Two large mountains were side by side, with another large mountain behind them. This was the same path that Chu Yang and his group had fled through.

The mountain range was solid and unyielding.

The leading white-clothed and masked individual suddenly brightened their eyes and said urgently, “Up ahead is a sharp turn. He’ll have to go around it. That’s our chance! We’ll immediately split into two groups. Lao San and Lao Si, you two will circle around to the left and get in front of him. Me and Lao Er will immediately activate our secret technique, using our life force to accelerate and catch up with him. Once you arrive, we can leave this person here!”

“Alright!”

This strategy was the most reasonable approach at the moment. After chasing each other all this way, both sides were aware that their strengths were comparable, and the person they were chasing was also an eighth rank supreme. As long as they could use their life force to activate their secret technique and catch up, they could successfully trap the person with the strength of two individuals against one. It was foolproof.

During this period of time, the two flanking parties had just arrived as reinforcements. By now, both sides had already consumed most of their strength, and even if the other side still had fighting power, it would not exceed half. The two who had expended their life force could rest at this moment, while the reinforcements pushed with all their might.

With this, they could either capture or kill the enemy in one fell swoop. It was not advisable for the four of them to burn their life force together, because in that case, all four would be depleted at the same time. If they encountered a strong enemy, it would mean complete annihilation.

The plan had been decided.

The leader of the white-clad masked men shouted loudly, “Stop!”

The black shadow ahead refused to stop and continued to rush forward, already approaching the mountain pass.

It was too late to say anything. Suddenly, two white-clad individuals simultaneously spurted out a mouthful of blood, and two white figures shot forward like rockets, surpassing the previous speed by twice the amount and catching up!

The other two figures darted off like electricity, flying along the left side like two strands of light smoke, almost soaring to the summit.

The four of them split up.

Behind them.

Rui Butong on the side of the Everlasting Alliance let out a low roar, “Rui Butong! Left!”

“Hey!” Rui Butong let out a muffled roar, and suddenly, a scorching airflow emanated from his body, as if a fire phoenix had appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Stomping his feet on the ground, he flew fifty zhang into the air, spreading his arms like a large bird, and with a whoosh, he flew out into the sky.

The speed was so fast that the sound of the wind it brought up caused the oncoming gale to pause momentarily.

It was the Phoenix Clan’s secret technique: Phoenix Dance in Clear Skies!

Once activated, it could allow those with phoenix blood to fly through the air like a true phoenix! As long as there was still some elemental energy left, they could continue flying.

Rui Butong’s figure flashed through the white snow above his head, disappearing like a shooting star, and then reappearing two hundred zhang ahead, completely disappearing.

Mo Tianji then urgently said, and ten people flew towards the left side where Rui Butong had gone.

These few people were related to the doubts in Chu Yang and Mo Tianji’s hearts, as well as to the major plan that was to be implemented in the future. In any case, they had to make things clear.

Currently, they had fallen for the trap and were splitting into two different directions, which was a heaven-sent opportunity!

——

The two pursuers in white, with increasingly cruel expressions in their eyes, fall silent. Given the strength of the person before them, he must be an important figure in the Li family. If they were to kill him, the Li family’s strength would surely suffer.

The distance between them is getting closer and closer!

Fifty zhang away!

Thirty zhang!

Twenty zhang!

The two are about to make a concerted effort to attack.

As the light darkens and the wind suddenly intensifies, the three of them rush into the mountain pass almost simultaneously. Meanwhile, the two flanking pursuers have also reached the mountainside.

Success is right in front of them!

Just at this moment, the shadow running ahead suddenly turns around, spins like a whirlwind in place, then ducks down and flies back along the ground.

...

His body spirals like a giant drill.

The distance between the three is already within striking range. The two white-clad men have already gathered their strength and are ready to attack. Even they don’t have any certainty that they can suddenly turn around and flee in this high-speed pursuit. It not only requires enduring the tremendous pain of reversed meridians but also precise timing. If you miss the right moment, you’ll end up throwing yourself into the enemy’s arms.

But this man accomplishes everything effortlessly. In the midst of his frenzied charge, he slips into reverse and retreats, without any reduction in speed.

The two men are still charging ahead, but with a loud roar, they simultaneously stab their swords forward, while their left palms, which have already accumulated maximum elemental power, also strike out.

In an instant, they make contact. The shadow that had been flying close to the ground evades the two swords, causing them to miss their targets. The two palm strikes, however, unleash their residual energy, which pounds into the back of the black-clad person.

Burning his life force, he’s able to unleash not only his speed but also his cultivation and strength!

Although it was just a remnant of power, the strength of the two eighth-rank supremes after their promotion was not something that the body of a single eighth-rank supreme could withstand.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that at the very least, the enemy was severely injured. However, just as this thought arose in their minds, the black-clothed person slipped like an eel and charged through the gap between them, running back the way they came.

The speed of the three of them was so fast that they barely made contact before passing by each other. The two men couldn’t control their momentum and were thrown more than ten zhang away, while the black shadow had already run more than ten zhang in the opposite direction. The attack of the two eighth-rank supremes didn’t even draw a single drop of blood.

This situation almost made the two white-clothed men vomit blood. They turned around and continued to chase, infuriated. The black shadow turned a corner and fled to the right along the mountain wall. Without hesitation, the two men chased after him, pursuing him all the way to the Lingxiao Palace in the sky and the Yanwang Palace in the underworld.

With a few swishes, the three of them disappeared into the wind and snow. “This is bad, we’re going in the wrong direction! We’re heading in the opposite direction of Lao San and Lao Si!” The leader of the white-clothed masked men cursed inwardly. Their original plan had been completely destroyed by the opponent’s sudden turn and escape.

...

“Let’s catch up to him first! With just one long whistle, Lao San and Lao Si will find their way here, so don’t worry about them!” The second white-clothed man said.

“You’re right! Let’s speed up!”

The black shadow in front seemed tireless, running straight ahead with his head down. In a blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the mountains dozens of li away.

The four white-clothed men split into two groups and took different paths, getting farther and farther away...

...

The two white-clothed men Lao San and Lao Si flew up the mountain with a few swishes, arriving at the mountaintop. It was a steep snow slope, and with just one flip, they could cross the mountain and complete their flanking plan.

The two of them took a deep breath and looked up at the distance, preparing to jump. At that moment, a head suddenly popped up above them, and two cunning eyes looked down at them.
