Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1487 The Sudden Battle

The situation was somewhat comical.

On the mountaintop, there was a huge rock!

Two people were underneath the rock, looking up cautiously.

On top of the rock, one person was looking down carefully.

Suddenly, their eyes met!

The three people faced each other, their faces filled with shock, and then they all screamed in unison.

The two men in white could not have imagined that they had worked so hard to get here, just about to cross the mountain, when suddenly someone appeared from above.

Similarly, Rui Butong had not expected the two men to be so fast. He had flown straight here from high altitude in a straight line! He had intended to stick his head out to see where the two men were, but he almost bumped heads with them.

He couldn’t help but scream in surprise!

In the midst of the three simultaneous screams, Rui Butong acted first: “Scared me! Get down!”

He struck with two palms, causing snow to fly everywhere!

The two men were already hanging on the cliff, and facing Rui Butong’s attack, they had to free up one hand to barely meet it. With a loud bang, Rui Butong was bounced back up into the air like a spinning ball.

This blow was Rui Butong’s full strength, but all the backlash was unprecedentedly huge. The opponents were both genuine eighth-grade supremes!

Flying up, they were screaming and spitting blood. They felt as if all their internal organs had been shattered, and they were almost unconscious as they were thrown into the clouds.

“I never intended to fight head-on…” Rui Butong thought grievously while in a daze, “But it was too coincidental…”

Down below.

The two white-clad men shouted loudly. Under the strong impact, the opponent was higher up and exerted a huge force, making it impossible to hold onto the mountain wall. With a crack, the hand that was grabbing onto the rock turned into powder, and they somersaulted down headfirst.

Here they were, thousands of feet up on a sheer cliff at the mountaintop. The impact caused Ruì Bùtōng to roll uncontrollably down the mountainside, like a tumbling stone. But his attack power had not dissipated, and coupled with the force of the recoil, they were both unable to control their bodies as they careened down the razor-sharp cliffs.

In the aftermath, the large boulder on which Ruì Bùtōng had been standing shook violently, then careened down the mountain like a shooting star. The sound of the collision was thunderous, shaking the earth beneath their feet.

Chu Yang and the others rushed to the mountain, just in time to witness the mountaintop tremble and shake like an earthquake. The tremors grew more intense and soon echoed throughout the surrounding mountains.

Suddenly, the snow at the mountaintop started to avalanche. As chunks of snow fell off the cliff, the mountain began to crumble, piece by piece. Two giant snowballs rolled down the mountainside, picking up more snow and growing in size until they became two massive snow boulders, hurtling down the mountainside with an unimaginable force.

“Oh my goodness!” Ji Mo exclaimed, biting his finger in shock. “Today I finally understand what ‘rolling thunder on a mountain top’ means… This is so spectacular!”

The sight was absolutely terrifying. Behind the two snow boulders was a larger, square-shaped boulder, which caused the avalanche. It fell down the mountain in a slow, tumbling motion, with snow sticking to it, gradually forming a huge snowball.

The giant snowball hurtled down the mountain with a thunderous roar, creating an enormous wave of snow behind it. Rocks burst out of the snow layer, flying into the air and tumbling down towards them. The two small mountains of snow were about to crush them.

“Duck!” Dong Wushang yelled out.

“Don’t dodge!” Chu Yang and Mo Tianji yelled, “Attack those three snowballs! There must be enemies inside!”

Their minds were working extra fast. Why the avalanche? Rui Butong must have started it. And for Rui Butong to achieve such results, he must have been the first to reach the mountaintop. If the enemy had gotten there first, Rui Butong would have been minced meat by now.

Since Rui Butong was attacking from above, the enemy would surely fall. After falling, they would naturally roll on the snow and since it was a cliff, they would keep rolling all the way down. As for other avalanches, they all required a certain level of vibration before they could occur. Therefore, these two people would surely roll down before the avalanche happened.

Now, there were only three big snowballs in front of the avalanche. So, out of these three, there must be two supreme beings. With one command, their brothers immediately took action.

Chu Yang shouted and, with one hand on the ground, he lifted a dozen or so yards of earth and faced the snowball. Then he rushed over, using the second part of the Nine Tribulations Sword.

With a magnificent sword edge that traversed the ages, he moved with the wind and cut through everything. The sun and moon were his body and thunder his generals as he split mountains and broke through skies with his sword glowing with a blue and green electric light. In the vast expanse of white snow, it was a striking color. Soon, it gathered and a rainbow-like light appeared in the snow-filled sky.

It was like the anger of a thunder god!

Gu Duxing combined his body and sword to stab directly into the air. Dong Wushang lifted his broadsword above his head and brought it down with all his might. The others, including Ao Xieyun, Xie Danqiong, Ji Mo, Luo Kedi, Mo Qingwu, and Mo Leier, all attacked at the same time, each with a killer move!

Mo Tianji anxiously jumped around, shouting, “We need to survive! We need to survive…I…”

It was too late to say anything. The two people in the snowballs felt the great danger and, regardless of their rolling bodies, exerted force to get out.

With a loud bang, countless snowballs suddenly exploded in all directions like blooming bombs, with such speed and force that it resembled lightning with a strong impact! However, Gu Duxing and his companions did not flinch, allowing the snowballs to hit their faces and bodies, while still attacking with their weapons.

Just as two eighth-rank supremes opened their eyes, they saw a forest of swords and mountains of knives charging towards them! At this moment, the two of them felt an urge to wet their pants!

“My god… where did so many experts suddenly come from… just now it was desolate for thousands of miles…”

This was too fantastical…

But the two of them had no time to think, their bodies were tumbling and they immediately drew their swords, using sword light to protect their vital points.

Both of them had a fierce look in their eyes, not just towards the enemy but also towards themselves! At this point, they could only fight desperately!

Anyone in this situation would have no choice but to make the same decision as these two – having finally climbed to the top of the mountain, they were suddenly ambushed! Pushed down and turned into snowballs, they couldn’t stop their momentum.

After barely dispersing the snowballs with all their might, they were greeted by a sea of sword and knife lights, each of them surpassing the boundary between immortals and mortals! Even someone like Feng Yue, whose cultivation was at this level, was blank in the head under these circumstances. This was beyond the realm of human thinking.

Green light flickered, sword energy soared, and the knife light was mournful!

Boom!

Everyone collided fiercely in a desperate posture.

“Ah!”

A scream shook the sky, and one of the supremes had seventeen or eighteen sword scars crisscrossing his body, one arm had been chopped off, and blood was spraying out like a fountain. His body finally stood still, but there was a transparent blood hole in the root of his thigh! His right chest was even more flesh and blood, with broken white ribs hanging outside.

As the three attackers, Gu Duxing, Ji Mo, and Luo Kedi, struck their opponent, they all stumbled backwards. Luo Kedi only retreated five steps before falling to the ground with a loud crash. Blood spewed from his mouth as a thin, red gash expanded from his shoulder to his chest, and a stream of blood burst forth.

This was a fierce battle, and it nearly tore the opponents’ bodies apart. Ji Mo rolled out of the fray with numerous sword wounds, vomiting blood as he tumbled. Gu Duxing also suffered from a sword wound on his left arm that almost reached his bone, and his face was flushed. Despite this, he was in the best position. Without time to examine his opponent, he pulled Luo Kedi towards him and fed him an incomplete Nine-Fold Pill. Then, he pursued Ji Mo and fed him the same pill. After that, he transformed into a long rainbow and flew back.

At that moment, the eighth-ranked supreme gaped, unable to support his body, and fell backward. Gu Duxing flew up and slapped him unconscious, grabbing him by the neck and flying away. Ji Mo and Luo Kedi had taken an incomplete Nine-Fold Pill, so they were already recovering. However, this man’s body couldn’t withstand the incoming snow waves, which could have crushed him to death.

But Mo Tianji had said to keep him alive… so Gu Duxing made a quick decision and knocked him out, taking him away. The battle on his side was over. Meanwhile, Chu Yang and a group of women besieged another enemy.

The battle was too sudden for these two supreme beings, but it was also sudden for Chu Yang and the others. They were just as unprepared for battle. Chu Yang had no choice but to lead the charge. Mo Qingwu couldn’t be injured, or he would be devastated. Mo Leier was his younger sister, and he didn’t want her to get hurt either. However, the two women charged ahead quickly.

Chu Yang drew his sword and transformed into a rolling pillar of light, with a bright and brilliant sword aura, leading the charge. But he was not the fastest. At the same time he charged forward, a dazzling flower bloomed above the white-robed supreme’s head. It was Xie Danqiong’s Qiong Hua!
