Chapter 409: The Awakening of the Sword Spirit
The two shadows of the throne of the ninth rank were still feeling their hearts racing from the enormous commotion they had caused. When they turned their heads, they saw this throne of the first rank fellow had already jumped up, his face completely calm and unconcerned.
At such a young age, with such a composed temperament...
Both of them silently exclaimed in their hearts, "What a freak!"
On the other side, Tie Butian had already gracefully sat up and was walking toward them. Her demeanor was relaxed and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the cracked markings left by the shock beneath her feet.
“Are we done?” Tie Butian asked with a smile.
“Done,” Chu Yang replied with a grin.
“I estimate that this time the Great Zhao army might suffer some losses,” Tie Butian said with a slight smile. “Although it won't be severe, they should be in quite a mess.”
Chu Yang laughed heartily, “Based on my estimations, there should be about ten to twenty thousand casualties.”
“Ten to twenty thousand?” Tie Butian was taken aback. “Can there really be that many?”
Chu Yang chuckled, “Your Majesty, such a landslide is a rare sight that occurs once in ten thousand years. It’s definitely possible!”
Neither of them knew that the results of this operation were genuinely earth-shattering, far beyond what a mere landslide could describe.
Moreover, the bounty from this endeavor was absolutely beyond the imagination of the two! Even if someone were to tell them now, they would certainly not believe that they had directly decimated the opposing forces by six hundred thousand!
And this included two of the well-known tiger generals on the continent’s list of famous generals: Jin Nankai and Yu Chenglong!
“Let’s go,” Tie Butian smiled. In her heart, just causing some disturbance was sufficient; she did not hold out much hope.
“Alright.” Chu Yang laughed heartily as he took a step forward.
Suddenly, a surge of energy from his dantian stirred, causing the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword to suddenly emerge, clearly conveying an intent to prevent Chu Yang from leaving.
“Hmm?” Chu Yang paused in his tracks.
He was very clear about what the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword was. This thing was entirely a money-seeking creature; it wouldn’t come out without seeing some benefit.
If the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword could speak, it would definitely be quite puzzled: Leave? Why leave? There are still treasures to be obtained!
You called me out to dig into the mountain, and I put in so much effort, wasn't it to unearth some treasures? If not for treasures, why would we have been so excited to work hard? Are we miners?
Chu Yang sensed the discontent and grievance from the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword and couldn't help but chuckle, “Alright, let me take another look here; it seems there might be something good…”
Chu Yang felt a bit awkward, scratching his nose as his expression turned uneasy. After all, he was the one who suggested leaving first, and now others were proposing to leave, yet he was suggesting staying instead... How should he explain this?
The shadows and Tie Butian had witnessed Chu Yang's ability to find spiritual medicine, so since he had this feeling, there must be treasures nearby. They agreed in unison and were also curious to see what this usually mysterious Chu King of Hell could discover from this barren mountain.
The tip of the Nine Calamity Sword twitched in Chu Yang's arm, anxiously guiding him in a direction.
After taking a few steps, Chu Yang realized that he was indeed heading towards the severed Pure Yang Peak! He couldn't help but scratch his head, thinking, could it be that my luck has exploded? Accidentally taking down a mountain, and I might still discover treasures?
The closer he got, the higher the terrain became, and the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword danced even more joyfully.
Tie Butian followed behind him, glancing around, and laughed lightly, “This mountain is indeed strange. Surrounding it, the trees are lush and green, yet the area around Pure Yang Peak is completely barren for dozens of miles, not a single tree in sight... Chu Imperial Seat, it seems your previous tool did travel quite a distance; haha, if not for your great skills, it really wouldn’t have been possible to topple this mountain in such a short time.”
