The battle came suddenly!
It was so sudden that the Stone Family members couldn't react at all. Before setting off, the strategist had once said, “I have a seventy percent certainty that the number of people stationed at Pear Blossom Slope from the Li Family won’t be many, and whether there are any supreme masters among them is still uncertain!”
As everyone knows, Diwu Qingrou, the overall commander, never speaks fully. When he says he has a ten percent certainty, it means the matter can be done. Because he has said... there is certainty!
When he says he has seventy percent certainty, it essentially means it is a done deal for everyone else!
Moreover, this time, the Stone Family members understood that this operation was purely a decision made by the command center to soothe their anger and sorrow.
On one hand, it allowed the Stone Family members to kill and vent their frustrations; on the other hand, it was also a way to hand them a cheap achievement. In the future, when eradicating the Li Family and assigning rewards, this battle at Pear Blossom Slope would be crucial!
Everyone arrived with excitement and a murderous intent, but they never imagined that the enemy had foreseen their move and set up an ambush here!
In the previous numerous changes in formation, the target was utterly elusive. How did the enemy know to ambush here? How could they be so sure that their side would attack this place?
A sixth rank supreme from the Stone Family was injured right away, and at this moment was struggling against the attack of a sixth rank supreme and two fifth rank supremes from the Li Family, crying out in despair: “Why? Why is there an ambush here?! Who leaked our information…”
The voice echoed through the air, far and wide!
In that voice, there was a blend of sorrow, frustration, and a kind of ‘betrayed’ ultimate despair and rage, almost taking shape!
Leading the charge was an eighth grade supreme from the Li Family, like a gust of wind, his face filled with a chilling murderous intent. He swept in at a furious pace, every strike was full force! The two seventh rank supremes leading the Stone Family were already at a disadvantage, and with one of them being ambushed and killed right away, the remaining one was left struggling like a lone tree holding up a collapsing building.
Desperately resisting, but the number of subordinates around him was dwindling!
With blood flying everywhere, Stone Family members kept falling. In just a short time, over sixty members had been reduced to only five or six left, all injured and barely holding on!
This seventh rank supreme's eyes were bloodshot with rage! Suddenly he shouted, “Stop! I have something to say!”
In the time it took to say those six words, yet another fourth rank supreme was hacked into pieces by seven or eight swords.
The eighth rank supreme from the Li Family waved his hand, and over fifty members of the Li Family formed a large circle, surrounding the five remaining Stone members in the middle. He said calmly, “In the martial arts world, battle is a matter of life or death; it has reached this point. What more do you have to say?”
The supreme from the Stone Family stood tall, blood streaming from his forehead, but he did not wipe it away. Instead, with a grim face, he stared fiercely at the eighth rank supreme from the Li Family and asked harshly, “Life and death are common occurrences. I, Shi Yunmo, entered the martial arts world without expecting a good ending! But today’s event is too strange, so I want to die with clarity! Lord Li, I only want to ask you one question!”
The supreme from the Li Family, with his black beard fluttering, narrowed his eyes and said, “Ask! I will answer whatever I can!”
Shi Yunmo looked to the sky and laughed long: “Good! I, Shi Yunmo, believe in Lord Li Jinglei! Today’s situation is already hopeless for survival! As long as I can die with clarity and resolve the doubts in my heart, I do not need Lord Li to take action; I will end it myself here!”
