Death… and me

Chapter 1471 Reborn

Just as Ji Mo and Luo Kedi charged at the bottleneck again, Chu Yang grasped two water droplets between his fingers at lightning speed and snatched them out of the Nine Tribulations Space. His hand flicked towards them.One water droplet went into Ji Mo’s mouth and the other into Luo Kedi’s!

Chu Yang saw clearly that in this short span of him flicking his hand and the water droplets entering the two men’s mouths, one-third of the droplets had actually already evaporated!

“No wonder the Sword Spirit said that this thing mustn’t be taken out at all costs!” Chu Yang felt some belated fear welling up in him. In just this quickest of moments, they had already evaporated this much… If he had really taken them out just like that, wouldn’t there be nothing left at all in just a second?

Both Ji Mo and Luo Kedi were already at the final and most critical stage.

Should they not be able to breach the bottleneck this time, under such a strong and forceful impetus, their meridians that had already suffered damage all over would definitely shatter in an instant!

Yet the two of them didn’t have even the slightest intention of giving up!

Both of them held a stubborn belief —”This is such a heaven-sent opportunity! The heavens have blessed me this much! If I still can’t break through and change my aptitude, then I might as well just die here!”

Right at this moment, their hazy senses suddenly felt a cooling sensation. Then, they felt a thin crack suddenly forming in that firm and sturdy bottleneck…

The two of them were overjoyed. They charged at it with great force at the same time…

With a loud boom!

Their bodies shook while blood spurted from all seven of their facial orifices at the same time!

Mists of blood also sprayed from some of the pores on their bodies.

But they had ultimately succeeded in crossing this hurdle!

Then, according to what they were told beforehand, the two of them kept their desire to change in mind. However, they had no idea how to go about changing, so they catalyzed their cultivation and charged straight ahead just like that.

Thereafter, the two of them sensed at the same time a series of cooling waves entering their bodies. The instant where the waves permeated their bodies, the cooling sensation suddenly turned into blazing flames! Devouring all their meridians from head to toe!

In that instant, even their internal organs were implicated by the aftershock!

The two men let out such loud tragic screams that their throats were hoarse. Blood spurted from their mouths and they fainted!

Gu Duxing and the others had already regained consciousness long ago. Seeing Chu Yang standing beside Ji Mo and Luo Kedi, they were about to speak when Chu Yang raised a finger and stopped them.

Then, they suddenly caught sight of the two men throwing up blood at a crazy pace, as if wanting to empty all the blood in their bodies. All of them got a huge fright.

Chu Yang reached out and held the others back. In a low voice, he warned, “Don’t touch them! They are in the process of being reborn!”

“Oh…” Gu Duxing and the others got it right away. All of them had seen Chu Yang flicking something unusual into their mouths earlier. Every one of them understood that the two men’s rebirth this time must definitely have a lot to do with Chu Yang.

In a stern and serious tone, Chu Yang lowered his voice and said, “Ji Mo and Luo Kedi’s rebirth this time is the result of their own hard work during their breakthrough to sixth-grade Supreme Martial Artist and crossing of the boundary between immortal and mortal! It’s all thanks to their own efforts! Do all of you understand?”

“I hope that they will never know about this drop of water in their entire lives!” Chu Yang’s tone was very grave!

The brothers nodded, all of them understanding Chu Yang’s pains and efforts.

The result of their own hard work… Such an outcome was enough to let Ji Mo and Luo Kedi’s self-confidence fly through the roof from this point on! Their self-confidence with regard to cultivation in particular would surpass everyone else’s all the more —”I’m capable of even being reborn through my own efforts! What else will I be unable to achieve?”

With such a state of mind, their improvement would no doubt be terrifying!

What exactly was one cultivating in cultivation? It was mainly one’s state of mind! Should one’s state of mind be unstable, one could easily lose himself to his own inner demons. However, with such strong self-confidence, there was totally no need for Ji Mo and Luo Kedi to harbor any misgivings! They could just charge ahead without any reservations.

Because I am invincible!

Dong Wushang was the only one who was somewhat lost. Scratching his head, he asked, “Why?”

The moment he said that, Mo Lei’er grabbed at his waist and brutally twisted. “You dumbo! Shut up!”

Dong Wushang let out a tragic cry, sounding exactly like the low and robust bellow of a bull.

Yet he didn’t dare say anything more. Mo Lei’er’s lips moved as she explained the reason to him via telepathy.

After a long explanation, Dong Wushang’s boorish face finally revealed a look of enlightenment. Smacking his thigh, he said, “I see, so that’s why… Boss truly went to a lot of pai…”

Before he even finished, a panicked Mo Lei’er had already reached her arm out and twisted the flesh at his waist again. “Shut up!”

“Ouuu~~~” Dong Wushang howled long and intense, in so much pain that he sucked in breath after breath of cold air, trembling all over.

Coincidentally, Luo Kedi regained consciousness at this point. Opening his eyes in a daze, he called out, “Fourth Brother Dong?”

Putting up with the pain, Dong Wushang gave him a smile. “What is it?”

Luo Kedi asked in dissatisfaction, “Why are you stealing my line?”

Dong Wushang, “…”

Ji Mo had also come to. The moment he woke up, he could feel the difference in himself. A sense of being reborn suffused his heart and he couldn’t help bursting into laughter. “Goddamnit, goddamnit, dog aunt, dog aunt… Aaahh fkdslafdlsaggkl… I’ve been reborn, waaa fkdslafdlsafhjd…”

He was so agitated that his speech was totally incoherent and incomprehensible. Grabbing Luo Kedi, the two of them embraced each other, laughing and screaming at the same time. At once, choruses of ‘dog aunt’ and ‘ahwoooh’ resounded without pause.

They laughed in delight and joy while tears also streamed down their cheeks.

At last… They had finally shaken off their shackles! Although they still didn’t know how the effect was, their rebirth was already for certain. This was something both of them could feel…

The two of them laughed and cried at the same time, causing Chu Yang and the rest to be somewhat at a loss as to how to react.

By right, they should be happy for the two of them. They should be giving them their blessings and sharing in their joy and laughter. Yet when they saw the tears streaming down their faces, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of heartache and melancholy in their hearts.

All of them knew just how repressed and agonized Ji Mo and Luo Kedi were before today…

…

After a long while, Ji Mo and Luo Kedi finally regained their composure. Turning to face the brothers, they couldn’t help being somewhat embarrassed. However, just how thick-skinned were these two? In no time at all, they had already adjusted their states of mind. Wiping his tears, Ji Mo asked with a grin, “Everyone has broken through, right?”

Gu Duxing and the others nodded. Proud as a peacock, Luo Kedi puffed out his chest and declared, “I’ve also broken through!”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“All of you must be very shocked, right?” A smug and triumphant Ji Mo strutted in front of everyone, sashaying as he said, “Bro here has also broken through! What about it! I’ve simply broken through! What about it? So I’ve broken through, what do you have to say about it? Shocking, right? Surprising, right? Unbelievable, right? You find it mystifying, right? But I’ve really broken through despite it all, wahahahaha…”

“Let’s go, it’s my treat!” Luo Kedi hollered, brimming with heroic spirits. “Eat whatever you want! Even if it’s the liver of dragons and the guts of a phoenix that all of you want to eat, I’ll skin Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong immediately too…”

Everyone lowered their heads.

These two fellows were clearly so high that they had no idea what they were saying anymore.

The two of you are only sixth-grade elementary-level while Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong are already mid-level, guys…

True enough.

The next moment.

Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong had already pounced on them with a furious roar.

Mo Tianji nodded impassively. “Come, let’s go out.”

With great rapport, the brothers followed after Chu Yang and Mo Tianji and filed outside.

Without even looking back!

No matter how two people at the back begged for mercy and called for help, it was as if all of them didn’t hear anything…

Yue Lingxue got a huge shock!

He remembered very clearly that at the point when Chu Yang and the others entered the cave, their cultivation levels had been all over the place. Some of them were fifth-grade, some fourth-grade, some third-grade and some second-grade…

But the ones coming out now…

All of them were sixth-grade!

“Hiss…” Gasping, Yue Lingxue stuttered a little as he asked, “All of you… have broken through?”

“Uh-huh!” Chu Yang nodded.

“All of you are sixth-grade now?” Yue Lingxue felt waves of dizziness overcoming his brain. Even the last two bruised and battered people were actually sixth-grade Supreme Martial Artists too. He couldn’t help exclaiming in astonishment, “All of you have crossed the boundary between immortal and mortal?”

“Uh-huh~~~” All the brothers nodded in unison.

Yue Lingxue was stupefied.

As a ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist himself, he naturally understood very well just how difficult it was to cross this boundary between immortal and mortal. Just how many amazing and astonishing geniuses had sped ahead in their cultivation and then gotten stuck at the point between fifth-grade and sixth-grade! Unable to advance even an inch for their whole lives!

Even Feng Yurou and himself had taken as long as thirty years of dual cultivation before they successfully broke through with the help of a powerful skill technique like Moon Breeze As One, back when they were attempting to break through the boundary between immortal and mortal!

It was already considered fast at that point.

But today, his world view had been totally overturned — What did taking thirty years to break through even goddamn count as? Take a look at these 11 people here! All of them had broken through to sixth-grade Supreme Martial Artist in just half a month!

And it wasn’t even from fifth-grade peak-level…

In fact, some had started from first-grade Supreme Martial Artist… such as Mo Qingwu.

Some were from second-grade, such as Ji Mo, Luo Kedi and Mo Tianji.

Some were from third-grade, such as Ao Xieyun and Xie Danqiong…

Some were from fourth-grade, such as Chu Yang and Gu Duxing.

Some were from fifth-grade, such as Dong Wushang, Rui Butong and Mo Lei’er…

And now, all of them were all sixth-grade!

Yue Lingxue felt like breaking down… Not just that, there were even two to three among them who were sixth-grade peak-level or mid-level…

Reaching peak-level right after breaking through?

This… Yue Lingxue suddenly wanted to go into the cave and take a look. What the hell, was there a celestial being inside? That allowed one to break through simply by pointing at them?

During Yue Lingxue’s stupor.

“Let’s hurry and go back. Time is of the essence. We need to hurry and finish up everything here and then change our battlefield to the northwest!” Chu Yang said.

“That’s right. At this point, that traitor is already of no use,” Mo Tianji said in agreement. “It is certainly time that we get rid of her.”

Mo Tianji was the only one who would even think about the matter of the traitor at this time.

Chu Yang nodded quietly. With regard to the traitor, he could just let the clan handle it after investigation. As a junior, something like driving one into a corner and then killing them… He seriously couldn’t bring himself to really do it.

All the brothers and Yue Lingxue set off on their journey.

Chu Yang, Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong stayed at the back. When they saw that the others had gone far, they launched their divine techniques and then grabbed and lifted the entire mountain range where the mine was. Then, they flipped their palms over and they crashed back onto the ground.

Then, their hands moved in a series of gestures. Booms echoed without pause. Chu Yang transported the few small mountains nearby over and placed them on top.

“May the two dragon and phoenix elders underneath rest in peace! I hope that there will never be anyone to disturb your peace again from now on!” said Chu Yang quietly as he lowered his head.

Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong got onto their knees, prostrating thrice and kowtowing thrice at each prostration to give their thanks and bid their farewells to the two dragon and phoenix elders.

Then, the three of them turned and chased after the rest.

At the moment he turned, Chu Yang suddenly jerked. Ao Xieyun asked, “Boss, what’s the matter?”

Chu Yang replied, “Nothing much.” Then, the three of them sped off.

During that moment, Chu Yang heard clearly a voice that was as if it had rung out from the bottom of his heart. It said slowly, “The eighth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, the City of Fairies!”
