Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 673, Section 672: Tianze Escapes (Part 1)

"To be honest, I always feel a sense of oppression every time I come here."

Under the cover of night, Yan Lingji spoke softly.

The corpse-driving demon standing to the side had never been there before.

Not just anyone can be captured and brought to Bloodcloth Fortress.

Not everyone can receive special treatment from Bai Yifei, the Marquis of Blood Robes.

But some facts must be acknowledged.

Therefore, the Corpse-Driving Demon echoed in a low voice, "I have the same feeling. It's like encountering some ferocious beast, like an ordinary person without martial arts standing in front of a tiger. It's the kind of feeling where you can feel the pressure even if the tiger doesn't move..."

The King of Poisons remained silent.

However, his silence was not because he disagreed with this point.

Rather, it means that his level of understanding was too low.

A large part of his skill lies in the use and preparation of poisons.

If used properly, poisoning a martial artist at the innate level would be no problem.

But if we don't use poison.

His strength is about the same as that of an ordinary first-class martial artist.

Therefore, just as humans feel fear when facing a tiger, but mosquitoes are fearless when facing a tiger, creatures with a huge difference in strength or little intelligence simply cannot feel the power of the apex predator.

In the current situation...

Pretending to know what you don't is undoubtedly unnecessary.

The King of Poisons was also aware of the fundamental difference in their cultivation levels between himself, a first-rate martial artist, and Yan Lingji and the Corpse-Driving Demon, two innate martial artists.

Therefore, they chose to remain silent.

I intend to hear what Ye Qingcang has to say.

Ye Qingcang had no interest in understanding the thoughts of the Hundred Poison King, nor did he care about it, but he didn't mind answering the questions of Yan Lingji and the Corpse-Driving Demon.

Nod.

First, show your affirmation through actions.

Then, in a calm tone, he said, "It's normal for you to feel this way. If you know anything about Bai Yifei's background, you should know that Bai Yifei's mother is the only female marquis in Korea. In Korean historical records, although this marquis was very beautiful, her martial arts skills were the foundation of her rise to power. Although I don't know exactly what happened back then, nor do I know which path this marquis took, and there's no clear description in the records of Luo Wang, I can only be sure that it's related to Bai Qi. There are also some unverifiable speculations, which are reasonable, but I dare not take them seriously without confirmation. In short, this marquis should currently be a grandmaster..."

This statement came out.

The words have not yet fallen.

Yan Lingji and the Corpse-Driving Demon suddenly came to a stop.

Including the King of Poisons.

It suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

They looked at Ye Qingcang in tacit agreement.

The air suddenly became quiet.

It exudes an eerie atmosphere.

"Judging from your expressions, you seem quite surprised."

Seeing that Yan Lingji, the Corpse-Driving Demon, and the Hundred Poison King had not followed, Ye Qingcang slowed down and looked back.

Raise an eyebrow.

He casually asked a question in return.

The answer was naturally affirmative.

"Is he really a grandmaster?"

The Corpse-Driven Demon's voice suddenly became a little dry.

As the current leader of the witchcraft lineage in the Baiyue region.

He knew very well what a grandmaster meant.

In the history of the Baiyue region, only one person has reached this level: the Baiyue priest who pioneered the shamanistic tradition.

The path of witchcraft encompasses a vast array of things.

The witchcraft he learned was only one branch.

The poison techniques learned by the King of Poisons are also a branch of the art.

Even Yan Lingji's awakened fire control ability can be classified as part of the path of witchcraft, albeit leaning towards the branch of witchcraft.

Including Musou Kyoukai.

It can be said that all the supernatural powers in the Baiyue region belong to the path of witchcraft, and the leaders of all branches can claim to be disciples of that Baiyue Grand Priest. It's just a pity that the Baiyue Grand Priest was a figure from the Spring and Autumn Period and has long since ascended to immortality.

Otherwise, Baiyue wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat. And now you're telling us that you want to rescue Tianze right under the nose of a Grandmaster, right in his own base camp, where he can summon thousands of white-armored soldiers to form an array at a single command.

"Perhaps we should reconsider this further..."

"As a loyal follower of Tianze, the Poison King pondered."

This has nothing to do with whether he is a die-hard fan or not.

The current actions are tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

It was practically suicide.

To be honest, even if it meant a near-death experience, he would dare to rescue Tianze. But right now, it wasn't a near-death experience, but a certain death. Not to mention the three of them combined, even if the high priest who had already passed away were to come back to life, he wouldn't have even a 50% chance of saving Tianze.

Grandmaster versus grandmaster.

Even if we can't win, we can at least hold them off.

Under the barrage of arrows, everyone except those at the Celestial Realm is doomed.

Rather than irrationally throwing away a whole bunch of resources now.

It's better to play it safe.

If all else fails, you can even use a diversionary tactic.

They charged straight at the enemy's headquarters.

This approach is too reckless.

It's impossible to succeed.

Unless you are a grandmaster.

But then again, if you were a Grandmaster, you wouldn't need to invite us to join Quicksand against Nightfall. You alone could kill Ji Wuye and wipe out Nightfall. Although there might be some who escape, none of them would dare to seek revenge against a Grandmaster.

The master's words were not just empty talk.

It was a kind of spiritual intimidation.

A single glance is enough to render a congenital person completely immobile.

of course.

It's not of much use to the other grandmasters.

Like Gai Nie.

One look from him was not enough to intimidate Wei Zhuang.

They couldn't intimidate Gao Jianli and his group either.

To put it bluntly, once you become a Grandmaster, it's like automatically gaining a powerful control skill and an invincible body. Although they haven't reached the Celestial Realm level yet, where they can use the power of heaven and earth to cause small-scale cataclysmic effects with every move, and can't completely dominate an empire, in small-scale battles, such as mountain warfare or urban warfare, with enough cover and space, even a king of a country can only enclose that area. This is because the number of people a region can accommodate is limited. If the area can accommodate 300 people, even with an army of 300,000, they can only fight urban warfare according to the standard of 300 people, at most resulting in a piecemeal battle. In places with abundant cover and large enough strategic space, Grandmasters can engage in skirmishes. Those who enter will then understand what assassination truly means.

Often, a sword aura would come flying in a curved arc.

They could easily wipe out a ten-man squad.

If we go to the rescue.

The battle formation will immediately fall into disarray.

But if we don't go to rescue them.

This master can then infiltrate the area.

They slipped behind them.

Segment and kill them.

Therefore, rather than die here out of blind loyalty, it is better to preserve their lives for future use. As long as they are alive, there will always be a chance to save Tianze.

But Ye Qingcang didn't think so.

Although that marquis was indeed a master.

But that doesn't mean he was afraid.

That doesn't mean he has no way to deal with the other party.

In fact, he didn't need to solve the problem of that marquis.

It's like how a low-health uncle would fall into a coma even when fighting the Wolf King.

That marquis was also low on health.

Even with Jing Ni present, you can guarantee a successful completion of the game.

Needless to say, he had an intelligence advantage.

Furthermore, he is much stronger now than he was before. He is only wary of the white-armored soldiers, not the Marquis.
