Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 9: Blade Emperor's Battle!

"All imperial level experts?" Chu Yang was startled, looking at the eight men in black in front of him. The chill ran down his spine. When did imperial level experts start clustering in the Central Three Heavens?

A clear whistle sounded, and the eight men parted to the sides. A man in black floated forward gracefully, as if not touching the ground at all. He passed the eight and arrived at the front of the group, hands behind his back, and strolled a few steps with great flair. With a flick of his sleeve, the sound of metal clashing echoed. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chu, do you recognize me?"

His voice was elegant, like a flowing stream in a mountain valley.

Chu Yang's lips twitched; this person was flaunting to an extreme! Every gesture was pretentious, truly reaching the pinnacle of showmanship!

With his face covered, he even dared to ask, "Do you recognize me?"

Chu Yang really wanted to say: "If you pull down your mask, I would recognize you right away."

Chu Feiling's expression turned heavy as he sighed and said, "You are Brother Ye, right?"

The masked man in black, with his hands behind his back, laughed coldly and sadly: "Hehehe, Brother Chu indeed lives up to his reputation; hēhēhē, now that I am here, I suppose Brother Chu is quite surprised?"

Chu Feiling took a deep breath, his gaze flickering with light as he replied, "It truly is... very surprising, extremely so!" He looked gravely at the masked man, "Brother Ye, your family dominates the Nine Heavens and rules the Upper Three Heavens, undeniably the first family! I admire your family greatly and wouldn't dare to slight you, but may I ask why Brother Ye has come here today?"

The man known as 'Brother Ye' chuckled and said, "Why I am here, does Brother Chu not know?"

Chu Feiling sighed, saying, "I truly do not wish to be enemies with the Ye Family! Brother Ye, why must you wade through these muddy waters? Why make things difficult for me?"

Chu Yang felt a chill. So these nine masked men were all from the Upper Three Heavens' first family, the Ye Family? At this thought, he suddenly remembered the sorrow hidden in Meng Chaoran's usually indifferent eyes, and a name suddenly surfaced: Ye Chuchen!

Isn't Ye Chuchen from the Ye Family?

"This person is an imperial level sixth rank expert!" In his mind, the Sword Spirit's voice echoed: "The other eight are all imperial level third tier experts! If they move together, it should be the Ye Family's night’s nine ultimate formation! This formation is quite hard to deal with!"

"Night's nine ultimate formation?" Chu Yang frowned and asked, "Is it very powerful?"

"This is a powerful formation left behind by the last Nine Calamity Sword Master for the Ye Family!" the Sword Spirit said gravely. "A decisive kill formation made up of nine one-star imperial level experts is enough to trap and kill a lord-level first rank expert! Do you think it's powerful?"

"Damn!" Chu Yang's teeth ached; does that mean today's situation is dire?

The masked 'Brother Ye' let out a crazy laugh akin to an owl's hoot: "You don't want to be enemies with us from the Ye Family? Hahaha... what do you think you are? Do you think you deserve to be enemies with us?"

Chu Feiling sighed, and his expression suddenly returned to calm. He gently drew the sword sheath from his waist, holding it horizontally in his hand, and calmly said, "Today, does Brother Ye wish to divide life and death with me?"

"Hahaha... Brother Chu, you are gravely mistaken!" 'Brother Ye' chuckled eerily.

"How so?"

"It’s not about dividing life and death! It’s that you will undoubtedly die!" 'Brother Ye' laughed maniacally.

Chu Feiling fell silent for a moment and then said, "With your Ye Ranmo's abilities, it seems you still can't achieve that!"

The man in black, Ye Ranmo, smiled and said, "Indeed, my personal strength is about equal to yours, Brother Chu, but this time, it is my nine brothers joining forces. Brother Chu, how much hope do you think you have?"

Chu Feiling smiled faintly: "How much hope? We'll know once we fight. However, I do have one request!"
