Transcending the Nine Heavens

Li Wubo let out a miserable laugh, carefully listening to all the sounds outside. As he noticed the sounds of the pursuit gradually fading away, he abruptly shot out, choosing not to participate in any battle or even care about his precious son, but instead swam upward like a fish.

Li Wubo's actions were not the same as Li Jue’s escape in the heat of battle; he was delivering a message!

The drastic changes in the snow had to be reported to those above as soon as possible.

If not, not only would this group of Li family members die in vain, but it would also severely impact future plans, potentially locking them into a dead end with no room for maneuver!

Li Wubo undoubtedly harbored deep resentment, a heart full of malice, and a mind filled with schemes,

But at this moment, the decision made by the current patriarch of the Li family remained focused on the family!

Because we are Li family members!

As a father and a member of the Li family, he had to make amends for his son’s loss!

Li Wubo quietly slid upward, his speed relatively slow; he was completely indifferent to everything else; even when he saw two Li family members being besieged nearby, with his strength, he could have easily rescued them, yet he chose to ignore it completely, using every possible cover to break through upward.

Li Wubo weighed what was important in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, he had ascended over two hundred feet.

“There! Someone has gone up over there!” One of the allied supreme experts, hearing movement behind him, cautiously slashed through the snow layer with his blade, aiming at the source of the sound—Li Wubo.

Li Wubo parried with his sword, and with a “clang,” propelled himself upward at full speed, having not dared to make too much noise earlier, now that his position was exposed, he decided to ascend at full speed, making every possible effort to break through the snow layer. As long as he could reach the surface, even if he could just let out a shout, it might bring a glimmer of hope.

This shout, filled with alertness, immediately attracted countless allied experts from all directions, with some recklessly beginning to surge upward, among them many high-level supreme experts.

If a Li family member were to break through and inform those above about the changes below, it wouldn’t be a complete victory; at least it wouldn't have the shocking effect of a “surprise attack.”

Mo Tianji, the nine calamity sage, would surely make corresponding strategic changes, and by then, if they wanted to take advantage, that would be another matter.

Li Wubo didn’t entangle with any enemies, nor did he respond to any attacks from opponents. Regardless of what kind of attack it was, he merely used it as a force to push upward.

However, the cost of this approach was incredibly brutal; his body was almost covered in blood and flesh within the blink of an eye, injuries overwhelming, and the internal injuries were easy to imagine, as most of the attacks came from all directions in the form of palm energy and fist strength.

Yet, he still stubbornly charged upward, and at this moment, his ascent speed had reached its peak.

Here, there was still a space of thirty feet to the top of the snow layer!

Li Wubo’s face was grim, and at this moment, he unleashed his final strength, rapidly charging upward, this thrust concentrated nearly all of his power.

His entire body shot upward like a cannonball; a knife flashed in from the side, aimed directly at his neck, but Li Wubo’s upper body had already surged past in a split second.

In that moment, Li Wubo felt a chill in his knees, and his body inexplicably lightened, half of him finally broke through the snow layer!

Blood gushed from his legs like a waterfall, making it seem as if he was using blood as propulsion to push himself upward.

Just as he breathed in the outside air, Li Wubo could hardly wait to shout to the sky: “The ambush below has been broken! We’ve suffered a crushing defeat! The ambush below has been broken…”
