Chapter 1461 Dying After Conceding Defea

Ji Mo struck lightning quick. During the moment of Xiao Chenlei turning, his dagger had already viciously stabbed right into Xiao Chenlei’s heart with all his might at close proximity!The sword aura on the dagger tip exploded right in the middle of Xiao Chenlei’s heart! Destroying all his internal organs and turning them into bloody pulp!

He put in so much strength that when the tip of the dagger pierced through Xiao Chenlei’s chest and came out from the other end, it even drew blood from Ji Mo’s thigh and almost strung the two of them together!

It came completely out of the blue and caught Xiao Chenlei completely off-guard!

“Shall I kill you?!”

In this instant, Xiao Chenlei truly felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

He only felt as if he had been thrown into a tragedy so deep that it defied all laws of nature and caused even the heavens and earth to be overcast in gloominess!

He stared at that shiny and glittering little segment of sword poking out of his chest and felt that icy chill and extreme pain in his chest. When he felt the dagger going through the front of his chest and coming out of his back, he was actually stunned for a moment!

Really, he was truly stunned for a good moment.

Never in his dreams would he have expected that the one fatal wound that would lead to his death would actually be here!

Even if a traitor had emerged from the few remaining Xiao Clan Supreme Martial Artists and stood against him, he wouldn’t be this shocked!

The bones of this Jiang Ye were still broken all over the previous moment, but he could actually kill a ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist the next moment?

He couldn’t understand this at all. When did this fellow recover? And when did a dagger appear in his hands?! This... Why did he do this?

The moment the words left Ji Mo’s mouth, regret filled him somewhat.

Because he shouldn’t have said it at all.

He really shouldn’t have! Furthermore, this was the most terrible mistake. He should have flipped over and escaped immediately after stabbing him with the dagger, the further the better, and avoid the dying counter-attack from this ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist!

Ji Mo knew very well in his heart — It was extremely likely that the time he took to say these words would result in this ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist’s counter dragging him down to hell together!

And the other party could totally achieve this without any problem!

In fact, even if he had escaped immediately, he might not have been able to escape the other party’s attack!

Ji Mo knew all of these clearly. He understood all the consequences. In fact, before he struck, he had already decided that that was what he would do — Striking once and then escaping immediately!

But humans were simply this weird. Even though he understood all these very well, even though he had already made up his mind, at the moment that his sneak attack succeeded, he couldn’t stop himself from saying it before leaving!

This was a very strange mentality.

Ji Mo’s sense of accomplishment in this instant was incredible! He desperately wanted someone to share in his joy and achievement. As such, he couldn’t control his smugness at all!

After saying it, Ji Mo immediately pushed away from him. With a whoosh, he had already run out a hundred feet. Launching a somersault, he ran for his life desperately!

In a panic as if a stray dog running helter-skelter, and in a loss as if a fish that had narrowly escaped the net.

As he fled, he admonished himself furiously.

Cheap! You’re just so cheap! So cheap that there’s no limit to it... It’s not like you could even escape successfully if you had run immediately, yet you still wanted to be smug... I really regret this to death...

With a flip and a roll, a somersault and a...

Then, he discovered that he couldn’t move anymore.

At some point, Xiao Chenlei had already come up right behind him. A hand pressed down on his shoulder and the two of them came to a stop in mid-air.

After that, Ji Mo felt as if he was spinning like a top. In an instant, he was facing the back and had come face to face with Xiao Chenlei’s expressionless face!

Ji Mo wanted to cry.

His smugness was totally his undoing.

That dagger was still embedded in Xiao Chenlei’s chest.

A strange expression appeared on Xiao Chenlei’s face. He lowered his head and took a look at the dagger in his chest. Then, he raised his head and looked at Ji Mo, his eyes peaceful and bottomless. The white beard on his chin shifted slightly as he asked softly, “You... How did you do it?”

Under the other party’s grip, Ji Mo felt as if a mountain was pressing on top of him. He couldn’t move at all. With his mouth agape, he uttered in fright, “Huh?”

Xiao Chenlei’s brows drew together, as if he was contemplating a deep and profound academic topic, rather than his own life and death.

“What I’m asking you is, when did you recover? How did you recover? Who are you?” Xiao Chenlei’s brows were drawn tight, unable to figure this out for the life of him.

“I... I consumed the medicine at the point you hoisted me onto your shoulder.” Ji Mo regained his composure and slowly calmed down. The situation right now already couldn’t get any worse. This actually stimulated a sense of defiance and rebellion in him.

A kind of reckless and extremely worn out spirit rushed up within him and actually calmed him down at once!

He didn’t even stutter anymore. His eyes stopped being evasive. His body wasn’t shaking anymore. His heart was no longer fearful. At this point, he actually became filled with righteous indignation.

Raising his head, he met Xiao Chenlei’s eyes squarely. “Since things have already reached this stage, you wish to die without doubts too, right?”

A desolate Xiao Chenlei replied, “Of course! This old man has run wild unhindered his entire life; even suffering defeat is rare for me. To think that today, I’ve actually been stabbed by your sword, my primordial spirit broken and my spirit destroyed by someone like you who’s no different from a lowly ant! If this old man doesn’t get things clear, how can I rest in peace!”

Ji Mo burst out laughing and said, “You wish to die without doubts, while I also wish for a quick death! In that case, I’ll just tell you!”

Looking at how utterly fearless Ji Mo was, a hint of approval appeared in Xiao Chenlei’s eyes. He said, “Although your cultivation is no different from a lowly ant’s, you can also be said to be a real man. Dying in your hands is not an insult to my name! Tell me, I’m all ears.”

Snickering, Ji Mo pointed at his own nose and said, “I’m a lowly ant? Have you ever seen an ant as handsome as I am? Goddamn it! I’ll let young fellow you here die a death free of doubts — My name is Ji Mo! I am one of the current generation of Nine Tribulations. I’m ranked second in my clan’s direct bloodline and third among the Nine Tribulations brothers. In this entire Nine Heavens, who doesn’t address me respectfully as Third Master Ji when they see me? Or... Second Master Ji? A great and enormous figure like me is actually a lowly ant in your eyes? You need to correct this! Otherwise, I’m not going to tell you anymore.”

The light in Xiao Chenlei’s eyes remained unchanging, neither becoming happy nor angry. “So it’s Third Master Ji from the Nine Tribulations.” These words of his were said very solemnly.

Ji Mo made a sound of acknowledgment. Terribly smug, he then replied, “Good that you know it’s Third Master here. Since you’re dying soon, Third Master shall resolve your doubts.”

Xiao Chenlei replied impassively, “Since that’s the case, may Third Master speak openly.”

Ji Mo became all smug right away. “This is what happened...”

During their conversation, sounds of battle also rang out constantly. Although the cultivation of those few Xiao Clan experts was strong and powerful, they were suffering from acute poison. Not just that, the poison they were suffering from was even Shadowless Poison and Innate Poison. Even if they didn’t circulate their energy, it would still spread, rendering death an inescapable fate for them, much less when they circulated their energy fiercely in battle? It could be said that their cultivation wasn’t even left with one percent of what it originally was.

Not to mention that the battle had gone on under Mo Tianji’s calm and composed direction. In no time, the Nine Tribulations brothers had already killed the few of them and come over here.

When they caught sight of Ji Mo who was in Xiao Chenlei’s hands, all of them got a huge shock.

Not only was Xiao Chenlei’s cultivation superb, but he was also holding his very last breath to secure Ji Mo and himself in mid-air. It could be said that there was no way of saving Ji Mo at all in such a situation!

In addition, there was no way for them to be in time to do anything. Xiao Chenlei could snap Ji Mo’s neck in one move before anyone could even get there!

Chu Yang and Mo Tianji gestured to the brothers at the same time, indicating for them to refrain from making any sound, in case it alarmed Xiao Chenlei and provoked him into killing Ji Mo directly in a moment of folly.

After that, Mo Tianji and Chu Yang swiftly came together. The same question was in their eyes — What should they do?

At such moments, the differences between these two were even more stark.

In Chu Yang’s eyes was terrible anxiety and concern, as well as a sense of extreme heartache. On the other hand, in Mo Tianji’s eyes was 30 percent concern and 70 percent calm rationality.

“We can only wait!” Mo Tianji solemnly communicated to him via telepathy.

“We have only one chance, which is the moment when Ji Mo tells Xiao Chenlei everything and resolves his complex. Furthermore, hope doesn’t lie in our hands but in Yue Lingxue’s! As long as Yue Lingxue can seize that opportunity, there’s a chance that Ji Mo will be fine! But if he can’t...”

There was a mild sense of regret in Mo Tianji’s voice.

Chu Yang’s heart tightened.

Who knew where Yue Lingxue was right now? If he wasn’t here...

The consequences were practically unthinkable.

In this instant, the same thought popped up in both Chu Yang and Mo Tianji’s minds — If... the brothers had power like Yue Lingxue’s...

How would things come down to this?

High up in the sky, Xiao Chenlei didn’t even cast a glance at Chu Yang and the others on the ground. He merely stared unblinking at Ji Mo’s lips, listening to every word coming out of his mouth.

The front of his chest and his back was completely pierced through by the dagger. All of his internal organs had already turned into minced meat. Yet strangely enough, not even a single drop of blood trickled from him.

Standing in mid-air, he was still as steady as a mountain!

“So this is a sympathy-provoking ruse!” Xiao Chenlei’s lips shifted slightly, giving out a light sigh.

Before he had gotten injured, he was rather irritable and also somewhat cold and aloof. But now that he knew that he was on the verge of death, he instead truly displayed the calm and steady bearing of a ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist of a generation.

“Of course,” replied Ji Mo proudly. “Our power cannot compare to yours. If we don’t make use of schemes, are we supposed to go to you and send ourselves to death’s door?”

Xiao Chenlei actually smiled and said, “In that case, I already know that your medicine must be the Nine Tribulations Pill. Just that I’m very curious, where did you hide the Nine Tribulations Pill?”

Ji Mo was taken aback for a moment. Dumbstruck, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his countenance and he snapped furiously, “What are you going on and on so much for after knowing everything? Hurry and kill Third Master here!”

However, Xiao Chenlei made no move. He merely looked him up and down. A living man had hidden a Nine Tribulations Pill on himself yet he hadn’t realized at all?

This was too strange!

When his line of vision reached Ji Mo’s hip, his brows suddenly drew together. As if something had occurred to him, he actually let out a violent cough, as if he had choked on something. A look of derision and realization appeared in his eyes as he asked, “Could it be... that you hid it in...??”

A raging Ji Mo lashed out. “I’ve already told you! Hurry and kill me now!”

Xiao Chenlei suddenly burst into uproarious laughter. He stopped holding in his injuries. Blood trickled from his mouth continuously and also spurted intensely from the wound in the front and back of his chest. Yet he paid no heed, almost dying of laughter as he said, “So you hid it in your anus... Brilliant, brilliant! The Nine Tribulations are truly extraordinary! This old man is full of admiration. Having the guts to hide the Nine Tribulations Pill there and even willing to dig it out and consume it when necessary... Just this sense of bravery alone makes this old man here utterly willing to fall for your tricks! Even if I die, I can die utterly convinced and conceding defeat!”

“Because if it had been this old man, I wouldn’t have been able to swallow it even if it means my death!”
