Chapter 311: Chapter 281: Incoming Attack

“What’s going on? Has a Tujue expert arrived?”

Tao Yu landed the flying machine, placing one hand on Shi Zuoshi’s wrist and immediately felt a surging hot True Qi chaotically rampaging through his body, consuming his vitality.

The North Star’s True Yuan surged forth and completely neutralized the foreign True Qi, making Shi Zuoshi’s complexion instantly much rosier.

Then he revealed a bitter expression

“The Sect Hierarch is as perceptive as a torch.”

“Has the Yuan Court been dispersed?”

…

Tao Yu frowned. In terms of numbers and tactics, the Yuan Court held an absolute advantage.

But in the age of cold weapons, morale was very important; it was not strange to be routed.

“It’s not that. Rather, a small number of Tujue experts bypassed the main force and headed south, stirring up trouble in the Martial World.”

“They’ve already reached the Western Regions?”

Tao Yu frowned. What state had Central Plains been left in then?

“Well, not exactly. The news we’ve received so far suggests they heard that the experts of the six major sects gathered to besiege Bright Summit, but we didn’t get information beyond that; they came here directly, wishing to meet the heroes of Central Plains…”

Shi Zuoshi’s face was a mixture of feelings.

“So where are they now? Didn’t I tell you to prioritize defense?”

Bright Summit was easy to defend but hard to attack; one could say that as long as Ming Cult did not botch it themselves and guarded the pass properly, if Tujue did not have many experts coming over, they should be adequate to cope.

The Five Elements Banner was all military-trained, and it would suffice to steadfastly guard the main paths with strong crossbows.

“We are indeed prioritizing defense. They have not attacked Bright Summit yet; they merely set up a stage at the foot of the mountain…”

Hearing this, Tao Yu roughly understood what had happened.

At present, Tujue’s greatest shortcoming in the Depend on Heaven world was a manpower issue, not just in terms of their army, but also among martial arts experts. The number they could dispatch was limited.

Although there was a significant gap with the Depend on Heaven world, it was still true that even ordinary experts in Great Tang’s world could easily be overwhelmed by sheer numbers, as long as it wasn’t someone like Bi Xuan or Zhao Deyan leading the team down. So it really was just so-so.

Hence, the Tujue people also thought of squeezing through with a competition on the stage.

For now, Tao Yu did not know to what extent Tujue understood the Depend on Heaven world’s situation.

But since they had people come over, it would be nice to meet them.

“Let’s go. I’d like to see. Do you know their names?”

“They’ve revealed their own names. It seems to be a nephew of some Khan, self-titled ‘Tornado’ by the name of Tuli. Next to him are two women who seem strong as well; they should be the three strongest among them. Besides, they also brought some top-notch horseback archers. I was defeated by one of them.”

Shi Zuoshi had a bitter look on his face. He was definitely considered a top-notch master, just below the five great masters, but going down to fight, he could not even defeat a mere follower, which was truly embarrassing.

“You didn’t lose undeservingly, the True Qi of the other party, though still a bit mixed, was qualitatively much higher than your inner strength. What’s the situation now, has Wuji made a move yet?”

When Tao Yu first deified the Nine Yin True Scripture, a single strike had injured Guo Jing so badly. Now it was the same with Shi Zuoshi.

Perhaps in a short-term battle, he could rely on his profound inner strength to not fall behind, but with the accumulation of foreign True Qi that he couldn’t promptly expel, defeat was only a matter of time.

“Right now, they are actually fighting with the minions. A few of us who watched the gates, we barely managed to exchange blows using exquisite techniques. It was only Yang Xiao who relied on the Great Shift of Qiankun’s cleverness to win a round.

“That Tuli seemed to take pleasure in hunting when he saw Yang Xiao’s technique; he made a move across the distance. Sect Hierarch Zhang dissolved it with the Great Shift of Qiankun, but afterwards, Sect Hierarch Zhang said that he was not Tuli’s match…”

After listening, Tao Yu had a general idea of the situation.

Right now, that Tuli wasn’t clear about the situation of Bright Summit either and didn’t want to engage in a numbers battle with them, so he came up with staging a competition.

The aim is probably to probe.

But a strike across the distance that made Zhang Wuji admit he was no match solely relies on the Great Shift of Qiankun’s features to temporarily mystify them; feared that this person might also be a well-known expert in Great Tang’s world.

‘Tornado’? What is that; never heard of it…

It was probably some hidden expert from Tujue; after all, not everyone made an appearance in the original work.

It’s fine, not remembering even if they did appear is normal.

“Wuji mastered the Great Shift of Qiankun at the seventh level, bluffing the opponent should still be possible. I’ll go to meet them…”

“Sect Hierarch, be extremely careful; their strength is astonishing.”

“Hmm, I’ve never underestimated them,”

Tao Yu spoke evenly.

Even if it was a character who hadn’t made a name for himself, he would never be careless.

And when Tao Yu followed the passage to the other side, Wei Yixiao, who was sitting at the entrance of the passage with his eyes closed, healing his wounds, also opened his eyes, and then his eyes brightened.

“Sect Hierarch Tao, you’re finally back!”

Tao Yu reached out and grabbed Wei Yixiao’s hand, and indeed, there was a surge of rampaging True Qi lingering on it.

It seemed that in the Great Tang, True Qi was almost standard issue.

However, this True Qi was not pure enough, appearing disordered, and nowhere near as good as the foundation laid after the first Deification of the Nine Yin True Scripture.

Not to mention the current True Yuan.

But thinking that this was just a minion, Tao Yu also felt some pressure.

Had his previous estimates been a bit off…?

Considering Zhang Wuji hadn’t been able to help them dispel this issue, it seemed likely that this guy hadn’t come out on top either.

His Inner Strength was sufficient, and the Nine Yang Divine Skill was of high quality even amongst other Inner Strengths, having healed Wei Yixiao’s cold poison.

But to counteract this type of foreign True Qi that was specifically left behind by another, it would also be troublesome.

Tao Yu himself had always left some leeway when facing enemies, and had never used such underhanded tactics.

Now, at least, it was clear that these Tujue experts had realized the advantage their True Qi held over Martial Artists from this side.

They must have tried their moves in the Central Plains before.

“Where’s Wuji?”

“The Sect Hierarch is overseeing the big picture. Right now, the Tujue people below still don’t know our details, but if the Sect Hierarch has to come to the rescue every time, I’m afraid our cover will be blown soon.”

Now, Wei Yixiao had fully embraced calling Zhang Wuji Sect Hierarch, both in heart and word. It must be said, although Zhang Wuji might be a bit obtuse, he was still the Child of Destiny of this realm.

“So, this time it’s my turn…”

Tao Yu chuckled, stepping lightly and leaping over, and at the same time at the entrance of the headquarters, he saw Zhang Wuji with a group of Five Elements Banner disciples, armed with bows and arrows, guarding the place.

Zhang Wuji was also sitting cross-legged at the moment, with Xiao Zhao beside him appearing somewhat anxious.

However, seeing Tao Yu approaching with an airy stance, Xiao Zhao’s eyes lit up, and the same was true for the other Five Elements Banner disciples.

Back when Tao Yu had exhibited his divine might, it was as if a Celestial God had descended, and those who had seen it still remembered vividly!

Tao Yu landed behind Zhang Wuji, extending his hand to probe, and indeed, the foreign True Qi, much more abundant than that of Shi Zuoshi and Wei Yixiao, was being suppressed by Zhang Wuji’s robust Inner Strength in one corner of his body, being slowly extracted with the rich Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Without Tao Yu’s help, he could solve the problem by relying on the unending nature of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but now that Tao Yu had seen it, he would naturally lend a hand.

The overbearing True Yuan of the Big Dipper forcibly barged in, pushing aside Zhang Wuji’s own Inner Strength, and swept away the True Qi inside.

While Tao Yu was clearing it away, he also made a surprising discovery that this True Qi was much purer than what was inside others.

Although it still couldn’t compare to the level of the Big Dipper’s first Deification, it definitely wasn’t some mixed-breed practice…

“Brother Tao, sorry, I’ve disappointed you,”

Zhang Wuji opened his eyes, showing a hint of a sigh.

“No, you’ve done well. I didn’t expect you to be able to block it even once. Now the timing is just right. This time it should be a master, not some small fry like I thought…”

Tao Yu patted Zhang Wuji’s shoulder and chuckled lightly,

“Leave it to me.”

A sense of full security then emerged in the hearts of everyone nearby…
