Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

254  Chapter 229 Zhao Min

"Cheng Kun really knows how to boast,"

Having waited quite a while without seeing the fireworks from Bright Summit, Zhao Min seemed to let out a light chuckle.

Although Cheng Kun was actually quite important under her command, Zhao Min didn't really like the man; there was a feeling that she couldn't quite keep him under control.

"Commandery Princess, since there has been a problem on Cheng Kun's end, should we temporarily retreat?"

Crane Pen Elder from the Xuanming Elders asked with hands clasped together.

"It's fine. Even if Cheng Kun has failed, the six major sects have already started fighting with the Ming Cult. Once a conflict breaks out, it's not something that can be stopped at will; neither side should expect to escape unscathed."

A confident smile appeared on Zhao Min's charming face.

If the conflict hadn't erupted, there might still have been a chance to stop it. Now that it had blown up, it would only escalate the tension. At least, Cheng Kun was still somewhat useful in stirring up the trouble.

"They're coming."

Mounted on her horse, Zhao Min saw the troops coming down from Bright Summit.

A trace of surprise also appeared on her pretty face,

"Strange, why do they all seem wounded? Is the Ming Cult really that strong?"

"The Ming Cult is strong, but they shouldn't be able to completely overpower the experts from the six sects."

At this moment, Crane Pen Elder was equally astonished.

But now wasn't the time to worry about that; regardless of which side had a pyrrhic victory, there was no difference in the result.

"The Tujue in the northern plains are too rampant. They are strong because of their experts. We don't have time to take it slow this time. Capture them all, submit or die!"

There was a hint of iciness in Zhao Min's voice.

Currently, the Yuan Dynasty was troubled both internally and externally. The Tujue's capability in military arrays could not be compared to theirs; they were still fighting in a scattered form as roving soldiers, incomparable to the highly organized Yuan army that had absorbed various strengths.

Moreover, it seemed that the Tujue also had to face threats coming from behind them. It was uncertain why they had suddenly increased their blockade; all the scouts intending to cross the plains had vanished without a trace. One couldn't help but wonder what the specific situation was further north in the Tujue steppes.

So even though the Tujue had numerous experts, and 'Martial Venerate' was terrifyingly powerful, having gathered a large following even among the Yuan forces, the battlefield still favored the Yuan army. The opponent could only continue to assassinate their upper echelons to alleviate pressure.

Because on the other front, it seemed 'Martial Venerate' couldn't always stay put.

Meanwhile, they have always been spreading rumors like "We have the bitterly cold Xuanming Elders," bluffing and creating confusion among the opposition, deterring them from organizing a concentrated attack on the capital from a thousand miles away.

Even so, Zhao Min knew that this standoff couldn't last forever.

The personal combat strength of the Tujue soldiers was not weak, and any deficiency in their battle array could be learned and imitated.

But the training of those experts was not something that could be achieved overnight, and as time passed, it was bound to become increasingly disadvantageous for the Yuan forces!

They could only maintain the upper hand now because the Tujue's original enemies were restraining them!

She had to cut through the chaos decisively!

Otherwise, once the Tujue made peace with their enemies and agreed to invade the south together, then it would truly be the end.

Although she was already aware that the masters from the Central Plains' martial world were much inferior to those from the Tujue region, there was no other option; they had to be used as a stopgap, with their sheer numbers providing an absolute advantage...

"Commandery Princess, be careful. Something's coming. You should retreat first,"

However, just at that moment, one of the Eight Great Divine Archers spoke up with a serious look and a grave voice.

All eight of them simultaneously drew their arrows and nocked them onto their bowstrings, beads of sweat suddenly breaking out on their foreheads.

This caused Zhao Min to pause for a moment, as several other experts also noticed the figure darting out from the midst of the six major sects.

Just a single point by that figure would cover a distance of several meters, almost as if shrinking the earth to inches!

Every touch left behind an afterimage!

"Not good! Commandery Princess, be careful! It's very likely a Tujue expert!"

Zhao Min originally wasn't too concerned, surrounded by masters and backed by over a thousand elite troops; what could a single person do?

Yet she had just managed to discern that point when she looked again and found that the figure was already halfway to her.

She then urged her horse into retreat.

By the time she started falling back into the protective ring of the army and many experts, the distance between them had already closed to just over a hundred yards.

"Indeed, a live target."

From this distance, Tao Yu could easily see Zhao Min's features.

Her skin was smooth as jade, tender as though it had been congealed, with an exotic, seductive charm.

But her moves were just too ruthless, prone to stirring up trouble.

"Guard the carriage!"

"Protect the Commandery Princess!"

Tao Yu's speed was indeed unexpectedly fast, and by the time everyone reacted, the mass mobilization of over a thousand troops was a beat too slow.

At the moment they began to move, a cheerful voice had already spread across the area,

"Since everyone has come, why not stay for a chat..."

Before the man arrived, his voice was already there, the sonorous attack that made the soldiers on the scene feel their Qi and blood roiling, leaving them dizzy and disoriented.

The originally tight formation started to falter.

The initial dispatch was abruptly interrupted and put on hold.

The martial arts masters protecting Zhao Min were all horrified.

What a terrifying audio technique, what a horrifying inner strength!

It could influence so many people!

Fan Yao, who had disguised himself as an ascetic monk, was equally shocked.

He had been quite worried about the six major sects laying siege to Bright Summit, but due to a lack of manpower, he had never found the opportunity to leave the group.

Now, seeing the sect members descending from Bright Summit and suddenly facing such an enigma, he was also shocked.

What kind of lightness skill was this, and what was this long-range audio attack?

Besides those mystical Tujue experts that were passed around in legends, were there really such great masters in the world?

Could it be that the rumors of the 'Martial Venerate' turning into the great sun were also true?!

Impossible, right?

Fan Yao had received invitations to go north, but as he was an undercover agent, he had directly refused, having only heard some rumors about Tujue experts.

To him, these rumors were as laughable as mythological tales.

He thought he knew the limits of martial artists in the Martial World.

But who would have thought that he would personally witness it now!

But since he was also a disguised spy, he naturally wouldn't exert himself at this time, and was indifferently loafing at the side.

In an instant, Tao Yu had arrived before them, surrounded by a steam that glowed red as fire, leaping like a flood dragon, his red Qi-Wall deflecting some of the incoming powerful arrows from above, diving down with several Blood Dragons in tow.

The resounding Dragon's Chant left everyone momentarily stunned as they watched the Blood Dragons rush into the crowd.

"What is this devilry?"

The eyes of the two elders of the Xuanming Sect bulged out, and soon they joined hands to strike a Xuanming Palm towards the Blood Dragons in defense, their chilly palm energy covering the Blood Dragons.

But this time, Tao Yu had no intention of holding back; having fully recovered thanks to the Nutrient Paste, he was completely different from the state he was in on Bright Summit, the Blood Dragons rampaged without concern for the cost.

With the addition of Fist Intention, the chilliness of the Xuanming Palm hadn't even approached before it was weakened by a third, and then shattered by the robust Blood Gang in an instant.

Rushing towards the Xuanming elders!

Their palm energy having made contact, the sudden psychic shock made them feel as if the Blood Dragons had entered their minds and stirred chaos!

It even gave them a sensation of withering and decay within their bodies!

As their spirits were captured and their defensive inner strength collapsed, in the next moment the Xuanming elders were struck head-on by the Blood Dragons, exploding into a shower of fragments!

Fan Yao, who had been dragging his feet a tad slower, was also scared out of his wits upon seeing the miserable state of the Xuanming elders.

Not daring to confront them, he thought only of fleeing.

But how could his running compare to their flying? He was soon sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, in mid-air, Fan Yao's face showed a bit of confusion as if he wasn't badly harmed?

Although he was flung away, the force had been completely defused, entirely different from what had happened to the other two.

"Stop!"

"Put down the Commandery Princess!"

It must be said that Zhao Min was quite adept at command, even though Tao Yu displayed such might that stunned the thousands of soldiers.

Still, among the Divine Archers, some managed to shout out in reprimand.

But what they got in return was Tao Yu sweeping a Blood Dragon back with his hand, which sent them tumbling away, vomiting blood.

They might be good at archery, but their strength was just about passable.

"Everyone, stop! Do not offend the gentleman."

Contrarily, it was Zhao Min, the Commandery Princess being held by the scruff of her neck by Tao Yu, who in the face of danger did not succumb to panic, softly chiding her subordinates.

Only after everything was settled did she turn her face, showing a charming and radiant smile to Tao Yu,

"I am Zhao Min, and I have seen the gentleman," she said. "May I inquire the honorable sir's name and which part of the world he hails from?"

Hearing Zhao Min's words, Tao Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then thought it to be reasonable.

His style did seem a bit out of place in this world.

Great Tang's martial force was considerable, but it didn't have these kinds of specialized effect attacks.

"Quite clever, but it's too troublesome to explain. For now, have them regroup and follow me," he said.

"At the gentleman's command. Regroup, heed the gentleman's orders as you would mine," Zhao Min said decisively, prompting Tao Yu to take another look at her.

Actually, Tao Yu personally hadn't liked this character very much, but he had to admit that even now, with them on opposite sides, her conduct was beyond reproach.

Her swift adaptability might even surpass that of the Shaolin monks!
