“Members of the Chu Family have confirmed they are heading this way!”
“They should arrive at Poplar Valley by dawn!”
“Everyone, stay alert and strengthen your defenses!”
“Double the manpower at the valley entrance, maintain strict surveillance!”
“Check the traps!”
“Supreme is in position!”
“Code check!”
“Everyone, relay messages at any time!”
“Prepare poison, smoke, and confusion!”
“Dragon Bone Incense is ready.”
“Conceal all movements!”
…
Within Poplar Valley, ever since the news of an insider hidden in the Chu Family was received, orders began to pour out one after another.
Ready for battle, they stood in formation.
Every order was clearly reported by the incredibly curious Master Ji Er.
…
On the other side, Gu Duxing, like an arrow released from a bow, swiftly descended from the sky towards the Amethyst Mining Area.
According to the original plan, Gu Duxing only needed to wait for the time, then immediately launch the attack; he had no concern about whether his brothers were in place.
In the air above the mine, two first-rank supremes from the Xiao Clan stood back-to-back, vigilantly watching both sides, paying attention to every movement of the grass and wind.
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose from the east, as if thousands of troops were charging forth, surging towards them with an overwhelming momentum.
Both men became alert at the same time and turned to look eastward.
They could see a dense jungle; suddenly, all the trees began to fall towards the west in an orderly manner, countless red flowers and green grass fluttering into the sky!
In an instant, the world was filled with a fierce and domineering killing intent!
In the face of such momentum, everyone felt as if they were mere blades of grass before a tsunami, lacking any power to resist, they could only surrender to the waves!
Both men were stunned!
They simultaneously hesitated for a moment before shouting, “Be careful! Enemy attack~~~~”
Their sharp voices pierced the night sky!
The Amethyst Mining Area, which had been dim, suddenly became heavy with a solemn killing intent, gathering and rising in an instant!
At the same time, a sharp force suddenly surged from the west, fierce and unstoppable, turning trees and mountains into dust in an instant!
With this overwhelming force, streaks of intersecting sword qi came slicing through the air like lightning!
Simultaneously, the once silent mining area erupted with an incredibly spectacular and solemn sword cry!
“Clang!”
This sword cry was like thousands of troops suddenly hearing the command from their general, responding in unison, perfectly aligned!
It was the hundreds of sword-wielding experts of the Xiao Clan who all drew their swords from their sheaths at the same time, producing a crisp and loud sword cry!
This sword cry caused all the Xiao Clan experts to change their expressions drastically!
Supreme of swords!
This meant a supreme of swords was participating in the ambush! Moreover, the target was them!
Only a supreme of swords could possess such power. With such skills, under the complete disregard of thousands of ambushed experts, a single draw of the sword rendered all their ambush utterly meaningless!
The sword light had already answered, so what use was there in lying in wait? If they continued to crouch and wait on the spot, they would truly become targets for the supreme of swords…
All sword-wielding experts cursed in their hearts!
Damn it! We’ve been lying in ambush for so long, putting in so much effort, and who would have thought there would be a supreme of swords among the enemy!
A single draw of the sword made all our efforts meaningless.
One by one, they emerged with swords in hand, gazing toward the figure in black traversing the misty night.
Only about a hundred knife-wielding experts remained in place.
As a surprise force.
With a supreme of swords already present, there couldn’t possibly be another supreme of blades, right? That would be too unreasonable…
In the world, aside from Ning Tianya and Bu Liqing, who are the two possible supremes of blades and swords appearing together, it has never been heard that those two supreme blade and sword masters collaborated!
