Chapter 494 - 494 131 Nightmare of the Supreme

Chapter 494: Chapter 131: Nightmare of the Supreme Mountain【Two-in-one】_2 Chapter 494: Chapter 131: Nightmare of the Supreme Mountain【Two-in-one】_2 With slight contact, it was a crush, just slightly slower than Feng Ying!

Up to this, none of the opponent’s eight men survived. It was a textbook wipeout.

Feng Yin promptly cleaned up the surrounding corpses, assuring no traces were left behind, and quickly departed.

…

“Tender Grasp struck again!? I thought that guy was hiding!”

“This time Crescent Moon are the unlucky ones—their three targets were all taken down.”

“Where at?” someone immediately got hyped up.

“I don’t know.”

“This bloody…”

“…I remember Crescent Moon moved in a group of eight, did they seriously get wiped out!?”

“Currently, the confirmed deceased are from Crescent Moon, but it’s impossible for the others to sit by while their comrades perish, most likely they were wiped out too!”

“Was there any distress signals?”

“None found.”

“…”

“Search for it.”

“How come I recall the Heavenly Judgment showing the direction of mission targets, why isn’t there any now?”

“The Heavenly Judgment naturally displays the current location when the target is still alive, but once the target has been executed, it naturally no longer shows the location. This is the Heavenly Judge’s way of protecting the assassins.”

“Now that I think about it, when the target is still alive, who cares where they are? After all, they were from Crescent Moon—who could have imagined they’d be killed?”

“That’s enough, never mind all this. Now that Tender Grasp has appeared again and left a trace, search!”

…

People shared these thoughts, and many were once again filled with enthusiasm, putting full effort into the search for Tender Grasp. His reappearance undoubtedly gave everyone a much-needed shot in the arm.

This guy, he’s still alive.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the premium resources he had on him, they hadn’t been seized yet!

That meant, there was still hope. I must be the one chosen by fate!

This news was simply too heartening!

Previously, with no news of him, there was occasional doubt that he must have died in someone else’s hands.

He’s not dead, he’s still around, still waiting for me?

The group from Supreme Mountain led by Mo Yuantu, however, wore complicated expressions on their faces.

“That eight-man team from Crescent Moon, we’ve encountered them before.”

Mo Yuantu was unprecedentedly calm now. The breaking of the Snowy Wind Sword woke him from his deep hatred.

The shattering of the legendary sword made him realize that if he continued his blind madness, he’d sooner or later die at Tender Grasp’s hands.

Tender Grasp, he’s not some ordinary opponent that he could easily crush anymore!

Whether Tender Grasp was originally this strong, and had been hiding until now, or had suddenly risen to this level due to some fortuitous encounters, the fact that his current strength is formidable was beyond dispute.

And this strength was enough to kill him. If the opponent maintained this rate of cultivation, he’d potentially even wipe out the Supreme Mountain team he was leading.

Realizing the reality of this situation, the members of the Supreme Mountain expedition—now a lot humbler.

No longer as reckless as before, they now focused on cautious and steady maneuvers.

But ironically, after suffering a blow last time, which resulted in the loss of a heavenly-level expert and the Snowy Wind Sword, even though Supreme Mountain had become a lot more low-key and tactful,

They kept running into powerful enemies one after another.

First, they met a squad from Liugong. Four people were killed shortly after the encounter. If it weren’t for Mo Yuantu figuring out the opponents’ maneuvers and revealing his identity in time, the casualties could have been much worse.

Even though both sides were masked and knew exactly who the other was, once the identities were revealed, they couldn’t attack anymore and had to retreat.

Then they ran into a team from Wansui Mountain that was on a similar level. They were competitors for many years and neither wanted to back down. After a round of testing and fighting, both sides sustained losses of more than a dozen people. Realizing that extermination was impossible, they had to stop and retreat.

But Supreme Mountain’s nightmare had only just begun—

After a bloody battle with the team from Wansui Mountain, Supreme Mountain, who wanted to find a place to heal their wounds and recover, unexpectedly ran into Dong Xiaoyan.

What’s even less fortunate, was that there were quite a few Heavenly Judge’s mission targets among the Supreme Mountain group.

Dong Xiaoyan, without any hesitation, struck hard—19 times in fact.

This lady didn’t care about whether they were from Supreme Mountain or not. She killed mercilessly, one after another, eliminating a total of nineteen mission targets.

Then, without any further discussions, she vanished when she was done, just as swiftly as she had appeared, catching them completely off guard.

Mo Yuantu, along with his remaining fighters, didn’t dare act rashly. They sent a distress signal unique to the Supreme Mountain and regrouped with Mo Yuanqing, and they didn’t dare separate again.

Originally, Supreme Mountain had a team of 118 coming from Yuezhou, but now, they have less than 80.

One could say the losses were grave indeed.

But they were still unsure of what would happen down the road, the Supreme Mountain group, whose strength had been reduced by over 30%, no longer had the confidence they once had.

Even now, upon hearing the news of Tender Grasp, they didn’t feel the urge to go after him and kill him.

Even if they could still act calm and fearless on the surface, exuding the aura of “I’m from Supreme Mountain, I fear no one,” that brittle and hollow feeling had begun to seep through, and everyone knew it.

A feeling of defeat was spreading.

Leaking out.

For the first time, they felt that the term “Supreme Mountain”…didn’t carry as much weight as they thought.
