Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Watching those fleeing figures, Tao Yu didn't bother to waste energy chasing them after he saw Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan standing still in a daze.

All of these opponents were indeed formidable, and, to tell the truth, if they were all familiar with his Skills and set aside negative emotions like fear to cooperate wholeheartedly just to kill him, even willing to die a few times in targeted collaborative attacks...

Then even Tao Yu would have found it troublesome and might have even had to expend Yuan Force.

But obviously, there were too many factors tied to battlefield conditions. Facing these guys whose mental states were slightly lacking and who all had their own schemes in mind, with the Innate Time Control to mediate and picking out the most suitable methods to land a fatal blow, it was naturally swift.

The Inherent Time Control had some consumption at twice the normal rate, but it was very efficient.

"Did we just witness a deity..."

Ba Fenghan, previously suppressed by You Chuhong and Dugu Feng to the point where his sword was nearly sent flying, knew the strength of the absolute suppression he felt when directly confronting them.

Yet, the combination that had them three under pressure was sent packing with just two palm strikes!

And what about the others who were not any weaker?

The top fighters of the Dugu clan had been eliminated in one battle, the experts of Wagang almost wiped out in a single sweep, and the pillar of the South Sea Sect had collapsed!

This...

This all happened too fast!

"Earlier, I thought you were injured in your fight against Empress Yin, that succubus. Had I known you were this capable, why would we have endured and suffered in silence..."

Kou Zhong was muttering to himself, then looked uneasily at Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan, who had not left.

"What? Can you do it?"

Tao Yu looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

He wouldn't force them to do anything. These two guys' temperaments were clear; if they didn't make a move, he would.

But he was also curious to see if these two would make a change.

"I'll do it."

Ba Fenghan also saw the hesitation in the two and, without giving them time to doubt, leaped towards Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji.

He too had been chased by Wagang before and harbored resentment.

However, Shen Luoyan, who wasn't controlled by acupoints, was staring at Li Mi's corpse and was dazed, sighing like someone who had seen through the vanity of the world upon seeing Ba Fenghan approaching, without any further resistance.

Xu Shiji next to him was similarly caught in a dazed inner struggle.

If only he had chosen to be captured quietly without causing a scene that attracted their attention, how good would that have been...

Chuff chuff~

Ba Fenghan's actions had no hesitation, immediately ending the two of them.

But looking at the other shaking lackeys on their knees who had thrown away their weapons, he also wiped the blood stains from his sword and turned back to Tao Yu,

"Brother Tao, let's not dirty our hands with these lackeys, personally killing them is quite the honor..."

But before Ba Fenghan could finish speaking, a clamor of battle cries came from a distance, with the clashing of weapons and some screams.

Those from Wagang who had fled earlier seemed to have been encircled and attacked; then, groups of soldiers, torches in hand, came walking towards them from all directions along the streets.

After all, this was Luoyang, Wang Shichong's territory. Perhaps his control wasn't that strong yet, still having to contend with Dugu Feng from the Imperial Palace and the forces he could deploy were limited.

But even so, Wang Shichong was the current ruler of Luoyang!

Such blatant killing was definitely going to get some response.

Only, the troops Wang Shichong first sent were just a small bunch nearby.

Under the lead of Wang Shichong's right-hand man, Ouyang Xiyi, they discovered that this small vanguard they brought could actually kill indiscriminately?

Those from Wagang seemed to have been scared witless, hardly putting up a fight!

Upon arriving at the scene, they also found people who had thrown down their weapons and knelt, as well as the corpses and chaos across the street.

"Dugu Feng?! Dead?"

Ouyang Xiyi first recognized the name of the guardian of the Imperial Palace, as this was who he had dealt with the most recently. Even bloodied and disheveled, decapitated and with a shattered crown, he recognized this formidable enemy at first glance!

This look of shock appeared on his face.

Then turning back and seeing the corpses of You Chuhong and Dugu Feng, he easily connected the dots through Dugu Feng, and couldn't help but rejoice.

Although he didn't know how they died, their bodies lying there were proof enough that the Dugu clan was finished!

Totally and utterly finished!

"Haha! Excellent, excellent!"

But how did the Dugu clan end up fighting with Wagang? They could have collaborated in theory...

Collaboration...

Ouyang Xiyi suddenly shuddered, a chill running down his spine.

He looked more carefully at the other bodies.

This, this...

He then grabbed a tile-roofed thug from Wagang and roared,

"Who are the dead? Who are they?!"

Could it be that Wang Shichong was ambushed while visiting the brothel at night to listen to music? How come I didn't know about this?

"So noisy, be quiet."

Tao Yu glared at the guy who was screaming. It was just a look, yet it made the quite capable Ouyang Xiyi shut his mouth immediately.

Because the place where Tao Yu stood was at the center of these corpses...

This caused Ouyang Xiyi's teeth to chatter with dread.

So young, who is it, in disguise?

The thought of disguise immediately brought to his mind the person most likely to have killed these men in the group attack.

"Evil King..."

Hearing this made Tao Yu pause for a moment.

But then he actually admitted it,

"You've got some insight."

After saying that, he gave Xu Ziling and the others a look and walked towards the other side.

Ouyang Xiyi didn't dare to follow and could only stay behind to clean up the scene.

Kou Zhong was initially puzzled, but then covered his mouth to snicker. He dragged along Shangguan Long, who had witnessed the whole event with sealed acupoints, and followed by Xu Ziling, they quickly disappeared into the night...

...

The next day, news wildly spread throughout Luoyang that 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan had appeared in Luoyang. Using his exceptional skills in assassination and group combat, he had killed Li Mi, Dugu Feng, and many other masters.

A battle with the high-ranking members of Wagang and Dugu family had led to their tragic demise!

There were also rumors that it was actually a new Grandmaster who had taken action, and this person had also disabled Qu Ao with a single blow. Now Qu Ao's arms were broken, and he was subsequently killed by an unknown assassin.

Some rumored that the new Grandmaster was Shi Zhixuan in disguise, among other things...

In Luoyang, where the tides were already turbulent, such a shocking event indeed made the vortex even more violent.

Because there were already many factions present at the Manqing Courtyard, and as information kept being clarified and resurfaced...

Added with some captured members from Wagang, a rough outline started to emerge.

Kou Zhong, for some reason, learned that Shangguan Long was a member of Demon Sect and took action to capture him. Then, the mysterious Grandmaster disabled Qu Ao and left.

After that came the night battle on the streets—top members of Wagang and Dugu family fought and were eliminated!

Even there was minor news that the mysterious Grandmaster had previously forced back Empress Yin, but this couldn't be confirmed by the Demon Sect.

Anyway, it was known that Wang Bo of Changbai Mountain was initially upset with someone disrupting his banquet. He even publicly stated at Manqing Courtyard that the younger generation didn't understand the rules anymore.

But by the next day, there were people saying that Wang Bo praised everyone for the good capture of Shangguan Long. Qu Ao deserved it for helping Shangguan Long, and if no one brought it up, he would find a way to bring it up...

...

On the other hand, Xu Ziling and the others also extracted information about Fu Junyu from Shangguan Long.

Having witnessed the massacre on the street, Shangguan Long had his defenses completely shattered and spilled everything he was asked. He was subsequently silenced by Kou Zhong with a single strike.

But before they could even take action, unexpectedly, Fu Junyu took the initiative to look for them.

"I don't know why, but they suddenly released me and specifically told me to come here, saying someone important to me was looking for me..."

Fu Junyu seemed somewhat bewildered at the time, as she had been mentally sealed by the sorcery of the Demon Sect and was oblivious to everything.

After being rescued, she was simply arranged to come here without fully recovering her strength, but at least she had awakened.

She couldn't imagine that the Demon Sect would really release her, letting her feel as if it was all a dream.

In fact, Fu Junyu's feelings towards the Twin Dragons were complex, believing that they had caused her sister's death and damaged her mother's reputation even after death.

However, having experienced the tribulation of the Demon Sect and being rescued by them, these thoughts swiftly dissipated.

"Aunt Yu, it was all thanks to our world's number one youth Grandmaster here that you were rescued,"

Kou Zhong began to be cheeky again, introducing her to Tao Yu.

"Hardly, I can't claim to be the world's number one just yet." Your next journey awaits at empire

Tao Yu just smiled, talking up a storm.

"But you are the future world's number one."

"Ahem, that being said, Miss Yu, I am quite curious about your Sword Skills. Would you mind enlightening me?"

Being able to rescue Fu Junyu without any complications was of course a great thing.

But having struggled so hard for so long, I certainly should reap some benefits, right? Otherwise, didn't those people die in vain?

They should at least die for something worthwhile...
