At this moment, if they were to pursue and risk getting hit by a few stones, these supremes, with their tough skin and strong flesh, could still manage to charge through.
However, that kind of sensation is not pleasant, and the number of those who could actually get through is not many. If the enemy really had an ambush, these people would probably not fare well.
Thus, although Ye Xiaoyao and Xiao Zhengyan heard Diwu Qingrou's call, they both unconsciously hesitated for a moment. As they stopped, naturally, the others did too.
Just with that slight delay, the entire mountain collapsed, and snow dust soared into the sky for hundreds of feet! In the distance, they could vaguely see Li Xiong Tu being hit by stones, running with his head full of bumps, disappearing into thin air.
The Li family’s team was completely isolated behind the collapsing mountain, with no sight of them whatsoever.
Xiao Zhengyan and Ye Xiaoyao both let out a loud roar at the same time. The four arms of the two men simultaneously raised, and with a shout, the two massive palms struck upward!
The combined force of the two eighth-grade supremes was truly earth-shattering!
Diwu Qingrou's urgent voice came: "Don’t strike forward! Just lift it up to the sky!"
When Diwu Qingrou's urgent shout came, Ye Xiaoyao and Xiao Zhengyan's four massive palms had already formed and crashed outward. They attempted to retract them but were too late.
They saw that the entire mountain's stones were being lifted by the two of them, like pillars holding up the sky, flying towards the opposite side faster than they were falling.
Diwu Qingrou let out a sigh and stopped in her tracks.
It was over.
If it hadn't been for this moment, in an open field of vision, a ninth rank supreme could still track them. But now, it was completely hopeless.
"Such a combination of offense and defense should be the best countermeasure," a shadow next to her puzzledly asked.
Diwu Qingrou stomped her foot in frustration: "That’s the stupidest method! How could mere stones kill a supreme? And once these stones hit the ground, the whole mountain shakes, clouds of snow dust rising for miles. It would be nearly impossible to find the enemy’s traces later!"
"If we had lifted them up, we could have passed under the stones. At that point, our view would be clear; the only obstacle would be the snow dust created by the enemy. That would have instead become our target. Even if the enemy split their forces, if we could catch just one group, we could at least annihilate a third of their people, significantly weakening them. But now, we can only temporarily give up, waiting for the right moment."
Diwu Qingrou felt somewhat depressed; she hadn’t expected Mo Tianji to withdraw without giving her a chance for a direct confrontation.
As she spoke, snow dust indeed surged up ahead, with explosions blooming all around, forming a cloud of snow dust over a radius of thousands of feet!
Even with the best eyesight, one could see nothing.
Ye Xiaoyao and Xiao Zhengyan realized they had caused trouble. They immediately exerted all their strength, blowing away the snow dust in the air, but looking around, there was already no trace of the enemy.
Before them was only a white expanse.
The two felt utterly dejected.
"Everyone, hide and hold back!" Diwu Qingrou quietly ordered, her eyes reflecting confidence: "Since he has come out in full force, he would never be satisfied with just killing a few hundred people and going back. Therefore, he must have more follow-up measures soon!"
"As long as we confirm he is still here, we won't engage in battle. Instead, we will rush to destroy the Li family’s stronghold!"
Diwu Qingrou spoke softly.
Inside her heart, there was a sense of novelty. This was the first time in her life that she had been truly defeated in intelligence! The previous three days involving Chu Yang didn’t count; the events of those three days did not make her feel defeated. Even if she lost, it was to heavenly mandate.
Moreover, in the end, Diwu Qingrou hadn’t exerted herself at all. Chu Yang had indeed succeeded, but so had she. It was during that time that the bloody fortune took control of the fifth family, enabling the fifth family to gradually gain opportunities and grow stronger!
