Chu Yang braved the wind and snow, charging forward with increasing anxiety in his heart.
The heavy snow hit his face, but it couldn’t erase the feeling of confusion within him.
It had been a long time since he felt such emotions. Even during his desperate escape from Great Zhao’s Zhongzhou to Iron Cloud, he did not feel this way, even when faced with life and death.
This feeling had only appeared once in his previous life at the Wind Thunder Platform, when he was suddenly surrounded and felt complete despair!
But now, this feeling surged uncontrollably again.
Only he knew how to proceed on the path ahead, but he had no clue at all. He had breached the first barrier, the second barrier, the third barrier… even the fourth barrier.
He had utilized the psychological blind spots of ordinary people, precise deceptions, and continuous trickery…
It seemed luck had always been on his side.
Behind him, the four law enforcers and Wei Wuyan were filled with confidence, their expressions very relaxed. Such a tight blockade had surprisingly been breached so easily by Chu Yang.
Everyone believed that Chu Yang would definitely break through!
They were all somewhat optimistic.
But only Chu Yang himself knew that the most difficult moment was about to arrive.
Luck could not accompany him forever.
Taking shortcuts could only yield short-term gains, and it could not be effective indefinitely. To break through the Li family’s blockade, the most crucial thing was still strength! But right now, what he lacked the most was strength!
The opponent had mobilized heavily. There were at least a hundred, even two to three hundred supreme beings!
Those above the third tier wouldn’t be less than fifty!
But on his side, there were only nine first-rank supremes! The gap in strength was more than a thousand times!
And there was one crucial point.
Numbers!
In such a situation of escape, having one more person would increase the difficulty tenfold!
If it were just Chu Yang alone, he was confident he could escape.
No matter what, he could find a glimmer of hope, even if pursued by ninth rank supremes, he had confidence in surviving.
But now he was not alone, and it wasn’t just two people. He was carrying eight people!
Moreover, besides his brothers, there were also four law enforcers!
This led to Chu Yang’s dilemma: if he revealed his identity as the Nine Calamity Sword Master and fought with all his might, there might be a chance. But… with the four law enforcers present, what if they spread the news after escaping? They were law enforcers!
And law enforcers were his great enemies!
That would mean bringing disaster to his relatives, family, and brothers!
But if he did not reveal it, there would absolutely be no way out! This was certain. Perhaps he could save himself, but… what about his brothers?
Such contradictions piled up in Chu Yang’s heart.
Irreconcilable.
If it were a typical chase, with his current powerful spirit and divine thought perception, he could completely avoid it, achieving good fortune and avoiding danger. But now, the situation was that the participants were all supreme beings.
And supreme beings could perfectly shield their divine thoughts! He and his companions had relied on shielding their divine thoughts to deceive repeatedly and pass through several barriers. But the opponent was also using this to counter them.
He similarly couldn’t grasp the opponent’s movements and arrangements!
Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.
In the world, apart from the drifting snowflakes, it seemed as if everything was silent.
But in that moment of silence, a strong warning surged in Chu Yang’s heart. Without any hesitation, he turned and dashed into the dense forest. As he entered, the Sword Spirit silently lifted the accumulated snow in that area.
Chu Yang did not hesitate and plunged right in.
Although Wei Wuyan and the others didn’t know what he meant, they followed him closely and entered as well.
The layer of snow fell.
At this point, the event occurred suddenly, with less than ten zhang to the outside road!
