Chapter 299: Displaying Great Divine Might_2
```
With his own abilities, let alone ten moves, even achieving victory was within the realm of possibility.
Under such fail-safe circumstances, it was totally worth a try.
"Hmph, old man will certainly make you kneel and beg for mercy! Let you learn not to defame the seniors of Martial World!"
Tao Yu stood on the loft and observed the situation in the courtyard, feeling somewhat amused in his heart.
Although Kou Zhong spoke of ten moves, from Kou Zhong's movements and long-standing judgment, Tao Yu could be certain that ten moves would almost allow Kou Zhong to exert nearly all of his strength.
If ten moves couldn't resolve the enemy, prolonging time probably wouldn't solve him either. Now, it actually dampened Shangguan Long's fighting spirit, causing him to only think about withstanding the number of moves, losing the psychological battle from the get-go.
Indeed, Shangguan Long, whose power clearly surpassed Kou Zhong's at that moment, and even more experienced, was immediately suppressed by Kou Zhong as soon as he made his move.
Although a woman was continuously counting out moves to pressure Kou Zhong, Tao Yu could roughly discern; if Shangguan Long did not wish to be chopped to death on the spot, there was a high probability that he would have to risk his life.
If Shangguan Long was ruthless enough to allow Kou Zhong to slay him, then Kou Zhong might actually become hesitant, possibly holding back.
But since it was the Child of Destiny's doing, and I didn't retain any deep impression myself, it should be successful.
"That woman is Dugu Feng, very strong."
Experience tales with empire
"So it's her, I know of her reputation, pay attention, the deciding moment has come."
Almost as Tao Yu's words fell, the cornered Shangguan Long let out a loud burst of energy, his hands suddenly turning black as he possessed strength far exceeding his earlier capabilities, forcing Kou Zhong's deadly moves to retreat in an instant.
Even though Shangguan Long managed to repel Kou Zhong after the explosive strike, the backlash of Magic Skills caused him to gasp for air, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, evidently paying a heavy price.
Clearly stronger in ability, but due to the on-the-spot shrink-back and loss of momentum, he produced such an uncertain outcome.
"Haha, the junior is rampant!"
Qu Ao, who previously wanted to challenge Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, now completely disregarded his reputation, smashed the window, and charged towards Kou Zhong, seemingly desiring to cut down one before they could regroup.
Qu Ao, a barbarian from beyond the borders!
Although Qu Ao's strength was somewhat overrated, he was indeed comparable to top experts like Du Fuwei and Li Mi, and immediately put tremendous pressure on Kou Zhong, who had just engaged in a big battle.
"Brother Tao, save me!"
Kou Zhong cried out while retreating, causing the many spectators who had not yet recovered from the previous shock to be taken aback.
Brother Tao? Who is that? Someone who can stop Qu Ao?
This is an existence whose reputation is second only to Bi Xuan outside the border regions!
However, in the next moment, they knew who this so-called 'Brother Tao' was.
They saw a figure overtake Kou Zhong, who was moving backwards, with a speed even faster than Qu Ao's, who initiated the pursuit.
The whole maneuver didn't seem to stir up the slightest trace of fireworks.
Though Qu Ao himself was slightly surprised inwardly, seeing Tao Yu's young appearance, the self-assured Qu Ao nevertheless raised his hand and pressed a palm towards Tao Yu.
"Seeking death, youngster!"
Simultaneously on another loft rooftop, another figure dove towards the courtyard; upon seeing the newcomer, Kou Zhong cried out once more.
"It's Bian Bufu!"
But before his words could fall, he was already catching a soaring Dragon's Chant in his ear. Even with his 'moon in a well' state of mind, he momentarily lost his focus.
Bang~
Crack~
Turning his head, he saw Tao Yu counter Qu Ao's blow, amazingly causing Qu Ao to be sent flying backwards with blood spurting out, his arm twisted!
The violent wave of energy caused even his hair to fly chaotically, and he unconsciously stepped back three steps.
This, this...
"Grandmaster!"
Bian Bufu, who had just dived halfway, wished he had wings to flee seeing this scene. He immediately turned tail and ran upon landing.
Whereas Xu Ziling, who had been prepared to preemptively intercept him, never expected that the man would turn and run instead of going after Kou Zhong.
But in the next moment, Tao Yu, following a series of afterimages, was chasing after Bian Bufu.
"I'll go catch him, you guys take the others and leave."
After striking Qu Ao, Tao Yu was actually a bit surprised himself; although he knew Qu Ao was of the same caliber as Jutuo with a lot of bluff, he did not expect it to be to this extent.
In terms of skill, Qu Ao was actually quite strong. Solely in terms of skill, he was much stronger than the previous Tuli, as well as the current Shuanglong, even a level higher.
Upon clashing palms, Tao Yu felt some shock due to the One Certificate, Forever Valid, but still sensed some shockwaves."
But his utilization of skill was just too poor. Had he chosen to fight elusively, it wouldn't have been a problem to exchange a few moves with me, but he insensibly chose to fight head-on.
Seizing this chance, Tao Yu naturally exerted his power, sending one move flying away...
"Good!"
Kou Zhong hadn't forgotten the current goal. Seeing Shangguan Long, whose acupoints had been sealed by Tao Yu's Flicking Flower Finger, he picked him up and ran outside.
Xu Ziling followed closely behind.
Ba Fenghan, who had not yet been exposed, was in no hurry, instead watching Xu Shiji with a mischievous smile.
Meanwhile, Tao Yu, watching Bian Bufu's continuous dodges, felt somewhat irked.
My lightness skill has failed me; indeed, I need to properly practice Crossing the River with a Reed, having been lazy due to owning a flying machine.
Spiral Nine Shadows stresses agility, Ladder to the Clouds emphasizes ascending. Only the straight-line distance is still lacking.
Carrying the Black Iron Heavy Sword, I couldn't catch up quickly for a moment.
But with the advantage of my power, taking some time, it was still feasible.
"No wonder he could escape from Zhang Sanfeng's hands, his lightness skill is really not bad..."
However, just at this moment, Tao Yu's Spirit Perception twitched slightly, and he stopped the pursuit, allowing Bian Bufu to disappear beyond the roofs in a few leaps.
