Chapter 484: Just You Wait!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

While Bai Yixue and the rest were exhausted from the prolonged battle and could only unleash half of their peak combat strength, it was sufficient evidence that the hemp-gowned figures wielded an intimidating amount of their own combat power as well.

It must be reiterated that Bai Yixue and Marquis Yun were both experts of heaven realm and despite their incompetent combat power, it was still far above that of an ordinary Tenth Perfection cultivator of the heaven realm.

Bai Yixue gathered together whatever was left in him once more to strike out against the dozens of hemp-clothed figures, as Yutang's remaining men hurried over to protect Qiu Jianhan, leaving him to fend for himself as he could still fight. After all, his sixth heaven capability was undoubtedly formidable. The odd formation created by the hemp-gowned figures could put a stop to the others, but was not powerful enough to ambush Bai Yixue!

As Bai Yixue lashed out against the odd formation, he caught a glimpse of seven to eight hemp-gowned people whose sleeves were embroidered in gold, skittering on the edges farther away. These people were obviously higher in position compared to those who appeared earlier. Careful observation would indicate that these people seemed to be waiting for a better opportunity to strike.

His mind worked quickly and Bai Yixue almost spat out blood. "Golden Hook Ma-i! How dare you scoundrels interfere in this battle! Are you all seeking your own deaths?"

The man dressed in hemp farther away wore a cold smirk on his sunken face. "It's debatable who is seeking death."

Bai Yixue hollered in fury, "The Ma-i Sect has never joined in the hegemony of empires nor does it partake in worldly affairs. It stays far from the worldly realm; now that two countries are at war, how do all of these concern you? Are you coming to stick a foot into this dirty water, are you all not afraid of violating your ancestral principles and bring about the annihilation of your sect, the severance of legacy?"

The Ma-i Sect was one of the top ten sects or schools in the Tianxuan Continent. The only weapon used in this sect was the unwieldy single-hand hook. In addition, the hook's material symbolized the status of the person in the sect. Anyone who used gold or strange stellar steel were core disciples or notable figures within the organization.

In spite of this, the Ma-i Sect had always kept themselves apart from the world; they had never participated in the squabbles of the martial world nor would they partake the dominance of a dynasty. It was said that their founding ancestor had left a wise saying behind, "Have no grudge against the world, Gold Hook Ma-i; be tainted not by the worldly, succumb not into the abyss. Noble titles have nothing to do with me; children and grandchildren, remember, never choose resentment and favor. Once a grudge is forged, unrest is for eternity."

It was due to this ancestral saying that the Ma-i Sect had never dabbled with empires and worldly affairs. They were limited to only building themselves in the martial world. Any rise and fall of empires and dynasties would never see the shadow of the Ma-i Sect disciples.

What was more, any new disciple of the sect would have to swear in front of their ancestor's statue that they would never attach themselves to empire hegemony.

However, Ma-i Sect's current presence in the worldly realm was to openly help Dongxuan fight Yutang. In fact, they seemed to be specifically targeting Yutang's significant Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan!

Bai Yixue was perplexed by this. Why was the Ma-i Sect willing to violate their ancestral teachings and suddenly get involved in this matter? It was out truly out of character for the reclusive sect.

Regardless, the reality was the truth. The participation of the Ma-i Sect had contributed to more than twice the amount of trouble that Bai Yixue and group were to have faced!

With these people focusing their attacks mainly on Bai Yixue and the other experts, Dongxuan's Deicide archers could pick their spots calmly to assassinate their targets. The power of Deicide arrows was not something that even experts like Bai Yixue could ignore as a careless move could cause a whole lot of severe damage.

With this obstacle added into the mix, Bai Yixue and his cohorts were truly entangled on the spot, unable to move another inch forward. Yun Yang was still charging forward bravely, leaving a picture of hell behind him, a scene of piling bodies and pooling blood. He had already carved up thirteen of the men who had stood in his way with just the sabers in his hand.

Right now, he had seen the hemp-gowned Ma-i members and also how the pressure Bai Yixue and his squad were facing had hiked upon their participation in the battle.

Yun Yang was infuriated and yelled in a hoarse voice, "Ma-i Sect!"

The cry was like a thunderbolt that rumbled in an otherwise clear sky.

The handful of Ma-i members who were only watching the battle had also leaped into the fray, frantically engaging Bai Yixue and his squad in combat while the people who had been left idle turned back instinctively upon hearing the holler.

All they saw was a red and purple silhouette streaking out of the mountains of bloodied corpses like the killing God from hell towards them with surging murderous intent. He was still shouting the litany, "Children and grandchildren, remember, never choose resentment and favor. Once a grudge is forged, unrest is for eternity! Ma-i people, you must remember what your ancestor has said! You have to remember what you have done today! Since you have gone against your vow, you should bear the consequences!"

The rage and killing intent within his voice shook the Ma-i members. Dazed, it was as if his ancestral master was walking to him from a bloodied background of death with the most chilling and eerie intent.

"Who are you?" The hemp-gowned individual asked in a low voice after forcing himself to calm down.

Yun Yang's saber carved another slash in the air, creating an area of vacuum around him once again, as he said icily, "If the Ma-i Sect members retreat right now, I promise to forget anything that has ever happened! However, if you all choose to remain stubborn, I shall have to slaughter everyone that stands in my way to the mountain and annihilate the Ma-i legacy to allow your ancestor's oath to come true!"

"Where do you wish to go and where would you wish to return to? You'll have to decide at once!"

The hemp-gowned man trembled slightly before he suddenly smiled coldly and said, "Only an underage child who is yet to mature - how dare you threaten the Ma-i Sect? We are not retreating. What are you going to do about it?"

Yun Yang chortled, "Great, excellent indeed! Just you wait, just you wait!"

The nine words sounded just as deafening and intimidating to those who heard him. The hemp-gowned Ma-i member could not help the shudder that ran through him.

Immediately, the purple shadow left the crowd with his arms raised. Rays of cold gleams, not unlike lightning strikes, shot out from his hands. The cold gleams were the weapons he had snatched from the enemy soldiers around him, tossing them out as he snatched them without pause.

Agonized cries followed almost instantly. Those were Deicide archers who were already in position and prepared to shoot; Yun Yang had killed each and every one of them with astonishing precision. The hundreds of beams of cold light did not miss even a single target. It took only a few breaths, but the hundreds of Deicide archers were all dead now.

Yun Yang was drifting in the air as he did so; Reddie, who just had a burden removed from its back, gained an increase of kinetic strength; with a drawn neigh, it stretched its legs far and apart to charge again. Only, this time, it had leaped thirty feet high as if it were a flying horse, soaring after stepping on people's heads.

For a horse to be able to 'fly' like this, those who witnessed the amazing feat felt their scalps tingling in disbelief.

As Yun Yang tossed out an arsenal of weapons to kill the Deicide archers, he had decided to move into the air instead, hovering across the shower of arrows before making his landing right in front of Bai Yixue and Marquis Yun. He had hoped to come face to face with a Ma-i Sect member.

The saber in his hand glinted cruelly; the saber truth of the Destiny Blade finally made its appearance. Merciless Blade, Merciless Dao, Saber Laic, Life and Death in a Thought - the amazing warrior executed all these forms, two forms, and four styles, with a loud shout.

As the saber truth was played, the saber light engulfed an area of hundreds of feet! Then, cries came unceasingly as seventeen Ma-i Sect members were either a mess of a disfigured corpse or just tossed out brutally and pronounced dead in mid-air!

Yun Yang's voice rang sternly, "The hope of survival is right in front of us. Follow me!"

He then dashed away, following the path he had come from.

Yutang's remaining guards perked up. A hope of survival was what it was. The worst that could happen to a man was the cessation of hope!

"Stop them!"

Zhan Ge's voice rang out anxiously from afar. Never would he have expected that the execution of a suicide attack and banzai charge could not stop the purple silhouette. Was it possible that the person's abilities were even higher than that of damned Bai Yixue!

Yun Yang was enraged upon hearing him. With a gaze that abruptly turned icy, he stretched his hand out to grab a spear that flew in, becoming a blinking light at the very next moment.

The spear crossed thousands of feet as if disregarding the existence of space, stabbing powerfully into the flag podium that Zhan Ge was on. With a loud boom and Zhan Ge's cry, he fell from his vantage point.

Dongxuan's flag, the flag that had watched over the army, tilted away from the commotion.

The highest part of it had spread out as if it had exploded.
