These four Saints had been thoroughly toyed by the opponent, escaping death multiple times until they were completely exhausted. With their last breath, they realized that the opponent they thought to be extremely formidable, powerful, and unrivaled was just a small fry any one of them alone could easily destroy with a single slap!
No wonder he refused to face us directly! So that’s how it is!

He dares to fight us face-to-face? Is he worthy of it?!

The opponent was probably a Venerable with a level two cultivation! A mere small fry, using his strange and crooked methods, completely toying with these four Saints until they were disabled!
Chi Tian Feng and the rest were stupefied after listening to Chen Chong’s explanation! They weren’t willing to believe it, but that sword earlier was the best evidence!


After a long while, Sa Qing Liu looked at the other three, then took a good look at his own pathetic form, suddenly spitting out an entire mouthful of fresh blood. Hammering his chest, he wailed,
Alas! This is so upsetting!

The fury of these four was enough to flatten the entire mountain….
This was too aggrieving!
Had they suffered this great disadvantage at the hands of some unrivaled expert, then it would still be reasonable and not this humiliating! But reality was that this bunch of great elephants were completely led around by the nose by a little mouse and even got injured….

Coward! Show yourself! This Saint wants to devour you alive! Even then, it is not enough to quench this fury! Show yourself! Come out!….
Chi Tian Feng gritted his teeth and roared, his voice slightly cracking, as if he was about to cry…. This was too humiliating…

Oh? Since you can’t simmer down even after eating me alive, then I’d better not show myself. Since you will still be angry. Might as well just get even angrier! Four great Saints, doesn’t it feel great to be running around the entire night? Hahaha…. if we attach a dog’s tail to your bums, then wouldn’t you all become literal stray dogs? That would be quite a sight….


Despicable scoundrel! I’m going to tear you to bits!
Chen Chong’s eyes were completely red. He was suddenly struck by realization.
You’re Jun Mo Xie?


Aiyaya, no wonder you are the legendary great Saint! To realize that it was this young master after a single night. I’m impressed!
Jun Mo Xie chuckled.
The trip tonight truly didn’t go to waste! Of all the heroes of this world, who would have achieved such a magnificent feat? Who would have been fortunate enough to witness Saints turn into pathetic stray dogs? Who had ever seen Saints turn into beggars? Hahaha…. Saint Chen Chong, your bum is so white and fair hahahaha…. I’ve seen it all….

Chen Chong was angry and embarrassed, subconsciously tugging at his torn and tattered clothes. He hollered angrily.
Jun Mo Xie! You scoundrel! Just you wait!


Aiyaya…. The Saint has flown into a rage! I’m so scared! So scary~!
The voice slowly faded away.


The four of Saints were angry to the point they were on the verge of exploding, but they couldn’t do anything about the situation.
But their external wounds still needed to be treated, so they could only grit their teeth and leave this place to search for water to clean their wounds and treat their injuries. But it was extremely weird. They searched the entire mountain, but they couldn’t find even a single source of water!
Not even a single drop of dew!
Just like when legends were destroyed, many expectations and hopes would be lost, but through loss, they’d be able to move on. Similarly, after they managed to wake up from that dreadful nightmare, although they were left full of shame and anger that couldn’t be relieved, the deadly threat that hung upon their heads also vanished.
Since they had been attacked from the side of the waterfall, they’ve not had a single drop of water for the entire night. Since they were buried under the mountain earlier, their injuries were considerably severe, and their Xuan Qi had been greatly depleted!
But after they had understood Jun Mo Xie’s true capabilities, they were no longer bothered by it! Even though they were exhausted and heavily injured…
These four people didn’t give a sht about a mere second level Venerable!
To them, now that there was no threat to their lives, the top two priorities were to replenish themselves with water and get their injuries treated….
How could they do without water? Even treating wounds required water!
But the four of them had combed through everywhere. Another despairing thought surfaced.


This scoundrel is too heartless! To be this thorough! Not only are the water sources gone, there’s not even a bit of ice or snow!

The changing of seasons between winter and spring, but not a single bit of snow can be found! Is there still justice in this world?!

The four of them cursed and sweared, but alas, they were left without a choice. They could only turn around and head in the direction of the waterfall they had just escaped from. From the look of the current situation, it seemed like that was the only hope in the surrounding area….
But these four Saints thoroughly understood what it meant to make small progress with great difficulty!
It turned out that those devious tricks and schemes they didn’t give a sht about were capable of toying someone to their death!
A decent path in the mountains—perfect for walking—had suddenly collapsed without any warning just as they walked past!
It didn’t matter if it just collapsed; they could just fly, couldn’t they?
But just as they flew, the mountain top suddenly came crashing down on them….
This journey was full of trepidation and fear. They were all covered in perspiration. When they finally came across a small forest and were planning to take a break, they were all tied up in giant tree roots…..
They barely had time to break free when the sword light came flying towards them with murderous intentions….


Even though they no longer feared that attack, but it was enough to be fatal!
After all, they all sustained heavy injuries and were thoroughly exhausted. They were tired and thirsty. Attacks that they wouldn’t care about still required them to use their Xuan Qi, which was already running low, to resolve. No doubt, this was an additional burden that was going to cost them their lives!
Finally, the four of them finally returned to that waterfall. By then, they had experienced numerous onslaughts!
And every assassination attempt was completely unpredictable! Beyond their expectations!
Of the four of them, three of them were already heavily wounded!
The worst was Sa Qing Liu—his entire left arm had been chopped off.
The entire scalp on Chi Tian Feng’s head was gone. Fresh blood was pouring out.
Although the strongest, Chen Chong, did not suffer injuries as drastic as the rest, he received the utmost care of Young Master Jun precisely because he was the strongest. Most of the attacks were directed at him during this entire walk, almost driving this second level Saint insane!
When they finally reached the side of the waterfall, all four of them cried out at the same time.
Suffering!

What is this? We were here not long ago! Why did it change completely?!


The ice mountain had vanished. The snow had vanished. The waterfall had vanished! Even the small lake had vanished!
The ground was completely dry—even drier than a desert….
The four Saints all broke down at the same time!
What the hell is going on? Are we actually trapped in a nightmare? Can something like this really happen?!

Every one of them was heavily injured. Especially Chi Tian Feng, Sa Qing Liu, and Cui Chang He. The trio had sustained extremely severe external wounds and required immediate treatment. But they could only forcefully delay it by using their remaining Xuan Qi to forcefully seal the blood veins to temporarily treat it! Not only did that not resolve the problem, it actually didn’t treat the injuries. They were wasting even more Xuan Qi.
External wounds like this required cleansing as quickly as possible and application of some medicine before bandaging with clean cloth to slowly recover. But the problem now was that they had no water nor clean cloth, and even the medicine they had brought along was crushed under the mountains earlier….
Left without any other choice, they could only struggle to hang in there!
The four of them were currently completely and utterly exhausted from running around and dealing with the relentless attacks. Before this, no one would have ever thought that four Saints could be driven to such a tragic state by a mere junior, a second level Venerable they usually wouldn’t give a damn about!
Could Heaven really want us to die?

The four of them looked at each other, and all they saw was terrible realization and despair in each other’s eyes.
They stood still, feeling as if all the strength has left their body. This series of attacks had allowed them to clearly realize that even if they ran for another twenty thousand li 
, they would still not be able to find any source of water! With the opponent’s strange methods, he was completely capable of ensuring this!
Their current strength was no longer enough to support them to continue running long distances anymore! The injuries of Chi Tian Feng and Sa Qing Liu had begun shown signs of infection. They were already starting to feel giddy. The circumstances were dire and their injuries could not be treated. With all the extra harassments and almost eighty to ninety percent of their Xuan Qi was used up, they could no longer hang in there anymore!
This game of cat and mouse had finally come to an end.
The losers were the once unparalleled four great Saints!
They were all filled with extreme despair!
The sky finally began to brighten up.
Suddenly, a refreshing breeze brushed past gently. On a rock not too far away stood a youth, his clean, white robes swaying in the wind. With a bright and sharp look in his eyes, he grinned at the four of them.

Jun! Mo! Xie! You scoundrel have finally decided to show yourself!
Chen Chong hissed, his breathing becoming heavier. His entire soul was trembling in anger!

Oh almighty four Saints, this counts as the first actual meeting we have. I pay my greetings. I thought that since I’ve decided to send you four on your way, naturally, I should show myself.
Jun Mo Xie politely cupped his hands.

You! You little bstard… truly… Despicable! Ruthless! Shameless…. Using so many devious tricks… What real capabilities are those!
Chen Chong gritted is teeth angrily, his entire body shaking and his eyes completely red. Thinking about all the encounters they’ve had in this journey, Chen Chong was about to vomit blood and die!

I express my deepest apologies, as well as my most sincere sympathy, towards what you have been through.
Jun Mo Xie grinned.
Please believe what I say; I truly mean it. But….. using words like ‘despicable’ and ‘shameless’….. it shouldn’t be used by you, Saint Chen.

He chuckled and continued.
It should be said by me! Really!

Suddenly, his expression switched to that of fury and agitation! Pointing his finger at them, he hollered,
The three Holy Lands are truly despicable! Ruthless! Shameless!!

His expression was more aggrieved than Chen Chong’s!
