Transcending the Nine Heavens

/p>

Wang Teng Long marched forward with his personal guards.
They hadn’t yet lined-up in formation.
Suddenly, his complexion changed as he looked far into the distance towards the mountain.
He waved his hand and cried out loud to alert everyone, ”Enemy attack! The enemy is charging at our camp.
All personnel to stay on guard! ”

His face became flushed as he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Then, he issued a burst of intense hoarse sounds.
He almost spouted blood in this process.
The well-trained troops responded immediately.
Suddenly, the bugle horns sounded.
Everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing, and grabbed their weapons.

Wang Teng Long had lost his mental-strength; he had become incapable of thinking in a straight manner.

He had seen the birds flying away from a hilltop.
Then, he had heard some faint sounds of activity from the same spot.
However, it was calm and tranquil when he had looked again carefully.

He had been thinking whether this was caused by a person or a wild beast when he saw a burst of undulating ripples in the thicket of grass that was located at a distance of about 1000 feet from the location of the troops.

It was after this that he had made a noise by shouting out loud.

However, a shadow rushed forward at a lightning speed before his voice got a chance to resound; it seemed as if the lightning carried a raging thunder-like murderous aura with itself.
The shadow approached them with a loud ‘bang’ sound.
Wang Teng Long saw the fuzzy figure of a person using a strange stance.
Then, the figure crashed into the formation of ten thousand soldiers.

A deep voice resounded; it reeked of murderous spirit, ”One ray of cold light pierces… ten thousand fathoms! ”

A sword light equivalent to thousand waterfalls broke through the Milky Way’s impediment and flooded across five thousand kilometers.

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream resounded through the clear sky.

It seemed as if the murderous aura had condensed and swept-across the entire canyon.

Wang Teng Long closed his eyes in pain.
[The fragrance of cooked rice has started to spread.
It’s the most relaxed time for an army that has had a long and wearisome journey.
They’ve set-up their camps, and wait to eat their meals.
Some people hold their rice bowls by the cooking pots.
They push and shove each other to be the first ones to get the serving.
Some people must be cursing…]

[They’re running out of time.
So, they want to grab the first bowl of rice.
This is going to decide who’d get to eat their fill and who wouldn’t.
Therefore, the entire army is in a chaotic mess.]

[Everyone in the army is vulnerable at this time; regardless of whether one is an ‘elite’ or not …they can collapse at the very first blow.]

[How did King of Hell Chu grasp this moment of utmost vulnerability so precisely…? …despite being separated by so much distance?] Wang Teng Long was puzzled by this fact.
He remained perplexed despite having spared it some thought.
However, he quickly took a correct decision, ”This is my order – the rear troops must prepare to block the enemy. ”

The vanguard troops had been broken-through by the enemy.
They could at-most block the enemy for a short while.
But, they couldn’t stop him for long; especially once one considers his speed.
The only hope was to depend on the rear troops.

Wang Teng Long was deeply worried; he felt as if his chest was on fire.

[I only need a moment.
No… I need a little time.
I need some time to guide my troops into a response in this extremely chaotic situation… and to help them gain the required battle efficiency.]

[But…
will King of Hell Chu give me the required time?]

[The answer is certainly… no.]

Chu Yang had been dormant until now.
He had moved into action because of the fleeting of time.
He had seen the smoke rising from the barracks.
Therefore, he had dashed-out five minutes later.

The fragrance of cooked rice had started to disseminate by that time.

The soldiers had camped after a long and tiresome journey.
Therefore, they were tired and hungry.

The smell of rice had entered the noses of the hungry soldiers.
This was the smell of heaven for them.
Their minds were full of desire for food.

Their desire would become more ardent once the food was completely cooked.

Chu Yang had experienced this feeling countless times in his life.
Therefore, he understood it well.

Hence, he had selected this particular moment to charge forward and break-through the defense-line of the famous general.
The defense-line of the army hadn’t yet taken form.
So, Chu Yang would be taking an unfair advantage even if he managed to defeat the general.
However, Chu Yang had no choice but to take advantage of someone else’s difficulties.

He had quickly employed the Nine Tribulations Technique to conceal his appearance.
Then, he had dashed-across one thousand feet.
He had come out of the thicket of grass and had arrived before the army’s formation.
He had left a three hundred feet long trail in the thicket of grass; the strands of grass waved to and fro.

His speed was indeed shocking.

Even Chu Yang was baffled by his own speed.

He had never anticipated that the combined might of the three fragments of the Nine Tribulations Sword would be so massive.

‘One ray of cold light pierces ten thousand fathoms! Unleashed!’

Dozens of people tried to dodge it, but it was too late.
They screamed as their bodies rotated in the air.
Streams of blood gushed-out of their bodies, and went whirling in every direction.
Their bodies had transformed into a sack of broken bones and meat within a split-second of Chu Yang’s passing from their vicinity.
Their bodies eventually fell apart.

Chu Yang didn’t stop.
He continued to advance like a whirlwind.
There was a cold and cruel look on his face; there wasn’t the slightest trace of mercy in his eyes.

The Sword Spirit revealed a faint smile in his consciousness and muttered, ”This time’s ‘one ray of cold light pierces ten thousand fathoms’… looks a little bit like the original move… ”

Chu Yang’s sword killed several soldiers with each swing.
He felt a slight vibration in his palms as strands of heat crept through them and entered his body.
He felt as if his own spirit had been roused.

Chu Yang’s heart thumped as he remembered the Sword Spirit’s words from the day when he had obtained the third fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, ”Starting today… the Nine Tribulations Sword will have a new function.
It shall be aimed at the benefit of the Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword – devour the power of life! ”
