Chi Tian Feng’s angry face turned completely red, and he was so infuriated to the point his lips were trembling as he spoke. “Jun Mo Xie, you’ve used so many crafty schemes and plots to drive the four of us into a corner, now... You even have the cheek to call us despicable and shameless? You.... Do you even have any shame?! Any conscience?!”

Jun Mo Xie shot an icy look and said coldly. “Dear Saints, the four of you are currently at the end of the rope! Naturally, I would not want to lie to the dead. So I shall let you die understanding why you died! So you can all go on your way willingly!”

He paused before continuing pensively. “Since I, Jun Mo Xie, have risen abruptly within Tian Xiang, I never thought of going against anyone! As long as no one offended me, I would offend no one! This has always been the case! To me, the three Holy Lands were high above me, and it is true that I would not attempt to claim connections with you, but neither would I whimsically provoke you!

“Only when I met Xue Yan did I then learn of the existence of a great calamity that was a threat to mankind! The War for Seizing the Heavens that you always talk about! At that time, the two of us often discussed how we should help during the War for Seizing the Heavens, and how we had to keep the strange races beyond the Pillar of Heavens Mountains no matter what sacrifice we had to make! At that time, the two of us felt that even if we were going to lose our lives at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, it would be worth it.”

A glimpse of shame appeared on the faces of Chen Chong and the rest. They had already guessed what he was going to continue to talk about.

“At that time, I believe that the plot to defeat Xue Yan was already in its beginning stages, and it was carried out as well. Don’t you dare try to deny this! That attempt many years ago—I believe the few of you are well aware of it! But we did not think of seeking revenge, or rather, even if we wanted revenge, it would have to wait until the War for Seizing the Heavens was over first! Xue Yan set her heart on protecting the stability of the continent and the peace of mankind, preparing for war. Although I extremely disapproved of your actions from the start, but I didn’t say anything and chose to support her.... But for the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, while Xue Yan was constantly merciful towards the three Holy Lands, all she got in return was greater harm!

“But with the appearance of the heaven-defying Dan of my Aristocrat Hall, the three Holy Lands used all sorts of despicable means to seize it by force! Stopping at nothing! Never mind, for the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, we tolerated it! But of all things you shouldn’t have done, aside from sending over ninety experts into the Jun Residence with the intention to wipe the Jun Family out and forcefully steal the Dan prescription.....was to set up countless attacks on our long journey to the Dongfang Family!

“When I, Jun Mo Xie, reached home, you barged into the Jun Residence. When I, Jun Mo Xie, went to fetch my mother, you repeatedly ambushed us! Slaughtering us over a distance of ten thousand li ! When I, Jun Mo Xie, went up the snow mountains, you sent almost six hundred forces to wait for me! And even nine Saints to Tian Xiang! My beloved wife—because of your joint attacks, using such a despicable method of threatening her with my family—was forced to use the Saint King Pill and almost perished!”

Jun Mo Xie scoffed and gritted his teeth. “Chen Chong, say, if you were me, what would you do? Am I supposed to extend my neck and let you guys kill me? If I deal with you guys, would it be considered outrageous and treacherous? Despicable and shameless? What sort of underhanded methods did I use? I am not strong enough, but am I still supposed to use my disadvantage and face off with you Saints? Only then would it be just and honorable? You guys used despicable methods and killed people with palms and swords; I used water, fire, and mountain rocks! Am I very despicable?!”

Chen Chong remained silent, but he looked up into the sky and let out a long sigh. Remorse welled up in his heart.

“Even if you still insist that I am despicable, so what? I can’t be bothered to talk to you about bombastic logic—it’s not worth my time! From start to end, I never thought of becoming enemies with the three Holy Lands on my own accord! But you guys kept forcing me to this current state! This was all a result of your own actions! What does it have to do with others, and what does it have to do with me?!”

“For the sake of the entire world, it is indeed a noble cause and an a great reason..... but this was not a reason why the Jun Family should perish!” Jun Mo Xie said with anguish. “Even if you killed one person for the sake of the peace of the entire universe, that person would also put up a resistance! Saint Chen Chong, what I am saying, do you.... understand?”

Chen Chong replied. “Of course I know what you mean. Perhaps we did go overboard. But we also.... have a clear conscience!”

“Yes! You guys would definitely be with a clear conscience. Since when did you guys ever have a guilty conscience?!” Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly and said. “So now that you guys have fallen to this state, please don’t say that I’m shameless. Because when I kill you, I will also have a clear conscience! You deserved to die, and your death is not enough to wipe out your crimes! Regardless of what reason you had, the moment you offended the Jun Family, you should have already died!”

Chen Chong laughed bitterly and shook his head. “Jun Mo Xie, indeed, you have the upperhand in this battle. But did you think that victory is in your hands now? That you could be this unbridled? Indeed, we have all sustained heavy injuries and lack the strength to put up a fight, but you’re not worthy of taking our lives!”

He suddenly stood up and chilling battle intent oozed from his body. “Jun Mo Xie, come! This old man shall let you see what a Saint is! Even if it’s in a plight where I have no way out, the might of a Saint is not for a mere junior like you to insult!”

He raised his head and said seriously. “Jun Mo Xie, let me tell you one thing! That Yin Yang Saint, Jiang Jun Ji...”

Jun Mo Xie cut him off and coldly said, “He has already gone in advance to make arrangements for you guys. He died comfortably, merely ripped to shreds by a pack of wolves!”

Chen Chong jerked in shock. After a while, he chuckled and said, “Good! Good! Truly vicious and merciless! Come, Jun Mo Xie; let this Saint send you on your way! Use your life to experience the terrifying prowess of a Saint!”

Chen Chong suddenly puffed his chest. A vast and mighty, imposing aura flowed everywhere. Right now, although he looked pathetic and his clothes were torn and tattered, his face was extremely calm. His gaze was insufferably arrogant!

The might of a Saint had been completely revealed!

Jun Mo Xie chuckled coldly. “The might of a Saint? Haha, fine, let me see what shocking capabilities this pathetic beggar-like Saint before me has!” He laughed loudly before continuing. “See how this young master defeats four Saints with a single sword! Who else in this world is capable of such an impressive power?!”

Holding his sword, with a flutter of his white robes, he flew over with a whoosh!

Chen Chong was so close to dying from anger! Had we been in our original states, you scoundrel would be running away from any one of us! Perhaps you’d even have difficulty escaping! Now you dare to talk big and say that you want to take on four Saints on your own.....

But Chen Chong knew that he was the only one who could put up a bit of a fight amongst the four of them. The other three had absolutely no resistance! If Jun Mo Xie defeated him, then the other party’s big talk would become reality!

The process didn’t matter; what mattered was the end result!

While he was still thinking, Jun Mo Xie had already appeared overhead! Chen Chong hollered and jumped, his sword clashing with Jun Mo Xie’s mid-air!

The more Chen Chong battled, the more dismayed his heart became.

His remaining strength was not enough to defeat the enemy! On the other hand, Jun Mo Xie was braver as he fought, showing no mercy, pursuing relentlessly, completely full of mettle....

Those who lost their power would be belittled and defeated!

Chen Chong felt more aggrieved the more he fought. Suddenly he flew backwards and shouted. “If the three of you can make it back, just say that Chen Chong has failed the Saint King’s hopes and he cannot do his part in the War for Seizing the Heavens anymore!”

Chi Tian Feng was shocked. Ignoring the pain all over his body, he jumped and shouted, “Brother Chen! You...”

Chen Chong laughed maniacally, his hair exploding all around, a blinding glow shooting from his eyes. His entire body began to swell up, and his face instantly turned completely as red. He kicked Chi Tian Feng and the rest away to a safe distance to prevent them from getting caught up. Then he charged towards Jun Mo Xie, howling, “Jun Mo Xie! Follow me on my way! To be able to roam the underworld with this old man is the greatest honor you can have! Carefully savor the remains of this Saint’s prowess and step on your journey to death!”

Jun Mo Xie snorted coldly, his eyes glowing suddenly. Carefully sensing the powerful aura exploding from the Saint, he said indifferently. “Chen Chong, you’re destined to be disappointed!”

Since Young Master Jun left the snowy mountains, he had felt like his cultivation was reaching the top of the bottleneck, that he was about to breakthrough the fifth level any moment!

But nothing happened even as he was busy running all over. Until yesterday, when he was battling with the four Saints in his wits and strength, he unexpectedly came to an enlightenment from the acts of the Saints. Now, he suddenly felt that same sense of enlightenment!

Which was why he decided to take a gamble and fight with Chen Chong when they came down the mountains!

So that he could experience this sort of imposing aura that belonged only to Saints!

Otherwise, he would probably wait till when they died to reveal himself. He wasn’t interested in even wasting his saliva on them!

Which was why even in this one-on-one battle with Chen Chong that had been going on for so long, he had yet to activate his Power of the Five Elements to subdue the enemy! And this time, the impact on him from Chen Chong’s self destruction would be extremely huge!

So Jun Mo Xie was extremely looking forward to this sort of feeling!

Chen Chong laughed villainously. “Brat! What sort of capability do you have to make me disappointed?! You will undoubtedly die!”

Suddenly, he speed up and charged at Jun Mo Xie.

Jun Mo Xie’s eyes focused as he thrusted his sword forward, plunging it through Chen Chong!

At this instant, as Chen Chong’s maniacal laughter was still echoing in the sky, his entire body exploded with a loud boom !

The surrounding stone walls collapsed. Debris flew all about, shooting up into the sky. A giant pit appeared on the ground! An unusually strong shaking force threw Chi Tian Feng and the rest out even further! When the trio finally stabilized themselves, they looked over anxiously!

The smoke slowly dissipated. That ground was completely silent and empty. There was no Chen Chong and no Jun Mo Xie!

A Saint of his generation had been driven by Jun Mo Xie to death by self-denotation!

Chi Tian Feng was stunned. His tears fell unconsciously. Who knew that in the end, it was Chen Chong who sacrificed himself to perish with Jun Mo Xie to ensure the lives of the three of them!

But Sa Qing Liu suddenly screamed, looking in a direction with great disbelief.

Amidst the smoke, a figure donned in pure, untainted white walked over slowly. His gaze was sharp and cold and his sword gleaming.

It was Jun Mo Xie!

The second level Saint Chen Chong self-destructing did not even harm him, a second level Venerable, any fatal injuries! From his looks, there was no damage done at all!

The three of them were hit by an unbelievable and incomprehensible fact at the same time.

Jun Mo Xie.... this youth....Is he human or a ghost?

In their shock, they heard Jun Mo Xie coldly saying. “Do you want to resolve it yourselves, or do you want me to go through the trouble of sending you on your way? I’ll give you guys the privilege to choose.”

The trio all laughed at the same time. In an extremely grievous tone, Chi Tian Feng said, “Chen Chong sacrificed his life and selflessly embraced death. Are the three of us so different from him? We have long looked past life and death!”

Chi Tian Feng laughed. “Jun Mo Xie, you’ll definitely regret this! I will be waiting for you in the underworld! Waiting for your entire family!” Then pulling his two sworn brothers beside him, they took a look at each other and laughed loudly at the same time. “Let’s be brothers in our next life!”

Their bodies all jerked at the same time before falling to the ground, dead.

Jun Mo Xie finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the three corpses on the floor.

This episode of vengeance finally came to a temporary end. But what would follow would be an even scarier, more violent storm....

Four Saints, dead, just like this.....Out of nine Saints, eight were already dead!

A heavy blow like this... even the three Holy Lands couldn’t afford this...

Thus what awaited was definitely the desperate, crazy vengeance of the three Holy Lands!

But Jun Mo Xie didn’t have the efforts to consider all these problems. He didn’t even have the time to sigh in sorrow because... just when Chen Chong had exploded, the formless aura had triggered something. The Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune in his body started boiling strangely, in an insane and violent manner. Various parts of his body were filled with the dense Qi of the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune!

A thunderous sound rang in his consciousness, as if the entire world was about to be destroyed....

He was going to breakthrough soon!

The breakthrough that had been brewing for a long time had finally arrived!

Jun Mo Xie frowned, forcefully activating the Power of Earth. With a boom , a large pit appeared beneath the corpses of the trio, which fell right into it.

Although they were enemies, they were still Saints. Jun Mo Xie didn’t wish for their corpses to be exposed to the wilderness....

After this was completed, Jun Mo Xie’s body vanished with a flash...

Just when the impact of the aura from Chen Chong’s explosion affected Jun Mo Xie, he had completed his comprehension of the Saint level! Then, in this tiny lapse of time, he escaped into the Hongjun Pagoda!

The force of the great explosion behind his back tossed him right in!

Mei Xue Yan, who was in the midst of practicing, looked in surprise at Jun Mo Xie, who flew in like a loose kite. He smacked the walls of the Hongjun Pagoda, sticking on the walls like a starfish!

Just when she was wondering why this fellow had entered so weirdly this time, she saw him sliding down from the wall. He rubbed his nose, which had turned slightly red from the impact and mumbled, “Mistake, mistake. The next time, I will do my best to perform a more stylish entrance....”

Mei Xue Yan was speechless...

But she saw Jun Mo Xie rushing out with a whoosh again. After a while, he flew back in again, his aura completely unstable, his breathing was getting quicker. “Xue Yan, I may be breaking through again.... you must remember the sensation of the shaking of this place when the breakthrough happens. It will be very useful to you in the future!”

After saying this, he flew out in a rush again!

Mei Xue Yan widened her eyes. He.... is going to breakthrough again?

Is he still human? How could he be so shocking?! How could humans be capable of such a terrifying speed in improvement!

Am I the Xuan Beast or is he the Xuan Beast? Even a Xuan Beast wouldn’t be like him!

An actual beast is so different from him!
