Mo Tianji's eyes sparkled as he spoke slowly, "The reason I firmly believe that Chu Yang is not dead is because... Chu Yang is very likely the one who has emerged during this calamity... the Nine Calamity Sword Master!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a shocking thunderclap!
It struck the hearts of the brothers like a bolt from the blue, instantly plunging them into silence!
Ji Mo trembled all over, Rocky Luo swayed slightly; Ao Xieyun abruptly turned to look at Mo Tianji, and Xie Danqiong covered her heart with her hand!
An eerie silence hung in the air!
"N-nine... Nine... Nine Calamity Sword Master?" Rocky Luo stuttered, "That divine dragon-like Nine Calamity Sword Master? Is... is that our boss?"
Mo Tianji replied slowly, "I can't be sure. However, based on various signs, the possibility that Chu Yang is the Nine Calamity Sword Master... is close to seventy percent!"
The bodies of Ao Xieyun and the others also shook slightly.
Mo Tianji was not one to speak in full certainties. Even if he was ten out of ten sure about something, he would only say it was eight out of ten.
Eight out of ten was Mo Tianji's limit; he always left a variable unknown.
Thus, Mo Tianji always had a backup plan.
Now, if Mo Tianji said that the possibility of Chu Yang being the Nine Calamity Sword Master was close to seventy percent, then, based on what everyone knew about him, the certainty that Mo Tianji believed Chu Yang was the Nine Calamity Sword Master was already close to ninety-five percent!
Thinking of this, the group felt a wave of dizziness!
The Nine Calamity Sword Master was an eternal legend of the Nine Heavens Continent for the past hundred thousand years.
Every ten thousand years, the Nine Calamity Sword Master would emerge to cleanse the Nine Heavens with the Nine Calamity Sword!
Every ten thousand years, a Nine Calamity Sword Master would rise to reorganize the Nine Heavens!
The nine great sovereign families in the upper three heavens are the families of the nine brothers who followed the Nine Calamity Sword Master!
As long as one could follow the Nine Calamity Sword Master, it meant a continuation of glory for the family for ten thousand years!
Nine! Calamity! Sword! Master!
In the Nine Heavens, the true dominion!
Ao Xieyun rubbed his forehead and said with a groan, "This is truly... unexpected... It feels so unreal, like a dream. The brothers we usually drink, chat, fight, and joke with are now the Nine Calamity Sword Master, high above like a god..."
Xie Danqiong smiled wryly, her handsome face flushed with excitement. She tried to suppress her emotions forcefully but couldn't, trembling all over, saying, "I... cough cough... cough cough..."
The usually poised Jade Flower found herself unable to voice a word, feeling choked by her own saliva, coughing repeatedly as she cleared her throat, yet feeling like more phlegm was building up.
Ji Mo trembled again, then again, finally groaning, "All the pores in my body have opened up because of your words... I can't stop shaking. The boss is the Nine Calamity Sword Master, I... I want to..."
Rocky Luo's legs turned to jelly, nearly collapsing to the ground, suddenly crying tears of joy, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Mo Tianji was also swallowing hard.
He had an inkling in his heart, but now, saying it out loud still evoked an indescribable excitement, a shocking sensation! It felt electrifying all over, just as Ji Mo said: all the pores were wide open...
Looking sideways, he saw Gu Duxing standing coolly with the black dragon sword, expressionless.
Mo Tianji was surprised, "Duxing, aren't you the least bit surprised?"
Gu Duxing's statue-like face revealed a hint of a smile, slowly widening as he exhaled deeply, murmuring, "So he really isn't dead!"
Suddenly bursting into laughter, he joyfully exclaimed, "So he really isn't dead!" Out of the blue, he punched Mo Tianji in the stomach, laughing heartily, "So he really isn't dead!!"
Mo Tianji was caught off guard, the punch nearly made his organs churn, and he bent over, holding his stomach, furiously shouted, "Bastard! What are you doing!"
