Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 140 The Final Order, Assassinating the Grandmaster

"I am a remnant of the old era, and the new era has no ship to carry me!"

Taoist Baisun said loudly.

The voice fully describes the wheel of time rolling in, crushing the remaining helplessness, and the heroism of facing the surging trend calmly.

"Go, boys! Go for your world and your time! This is my...last order!"

Taoist Baisun clapped his palms, releasing a cold wind that blew the sail and carried the boat away.

"Dad——"

On the small boat, the shouts of the two dragons drifted away with the boat.

Yu Wenzhi retreated into the crowd and whispered, "Immediately send people aboard the ship to pursue it. Send pigeons to send messages and set up checkpoints along the river to block that ship!"

The water route is indeed fast, but this water route is currently controlled by the imperial court.

Besides, how could a small sailboat be faster than a large warship?
Combined with sending messages via carrier pigeons and setting up checkpoints along the river, they would definitely be able to block the three men on the river and force them to land halfway.

Waiting to get ashore...haha!
"Hahaha, why stop that boat?"

At this moment, Taoist Baisun laughed and said, then pulled out a piece of cloth woven with black gold thread from his arms: "Isn't this what you want?"

"The Secret of Immortality?!"

Yu Wenzhi frowned slightly, as things had developed to the point he least wanted to see.

Since he couldn't find the old man before, he naturally had to capture the two dragons. The best result would be that he captured the two dragons and threatened the old man.

However, he did not expect a female assassin to appear and hinder his actions, causing things to develop to the worst step.

The secret of immortality is in the hands of this old man, but he has no means to deal with him.

We can only fight hard!

"Go!" Yu Wenzhi ordered.

Tatata!
Five thousand elite soldiers marched forward in unison and divided into five teams. Two teams went straight to Taoist Baisun, two teams went to the Wuya warship next to them, and the last team stayed with Yu Wenzhi.

For martial arts masters, the decapitation strategy is the best they can do and the one that can most affect the entire army.

Even though Yu Wenzhi himself is a master, he still has to be on guard.

Zhang Shihe also brought two local masters from Yangzhou and seven innates, who gathered around Yu Wenzhi and watched the battle.

Two teams of elite soldiers approached with five layers of shields, spears, shields, bows, and bows, surrounding the front of the dock tightly.

"No matter how many ants there are, they are still just ants!"

Taoist Baisun sneered, put the black gold scroll into his arms, and used his palm power to strike directly at the dock.

A chilly wind blew over in an instant, freezing dozens of elite soldiers stiff and causing them to die of hypothermia on the spot!

This martial art is truly terrifying!
The so-called elite soldier formation is completely useless to masters of this level. It can only serve to consume their true energy.

Moreover, Yu Wenzhi felt that the power of the martial arts displayed by this old man at this moment had increased by at least several times compared to before.

Previously, when the opponent fought with the female assassin, if he had displayed such fighting power, the female assassin would probably not have been his match at all!
The reason for this is actually because the Taoist Baisun who appears now is not the previous projection, but an overlapping projection!

Taoist Baisun suddenly disappeared and had not appeared before. In fact, he went to the city to find an old man's body for overlapping projection.

After changing his appearance simply, he rushed over.

The reason why he wore a black robe with a hood was actually to cover up the poor quality of his simple disguise.

The projection can only show 30% of the quality, while the overlapping projection can show 60%.

Doubling the basic attributes will not only increase strength by one time, but by several times!
Having said that, Taoist Baisun's performance made Yu Wenzhi's eyes move.

He mustered up his courage, suddenly leaped in front of the formation, gathered cold energy in his hands, and slammed out with a palm.

"Well done!"

Taoist Baisun went forward to fight and also struck out with a palm.

When the two palms touched, a chill filled the air.

The Mysterious Dark Divine Palm was extremely cold, and even the icy power felt chilling upon contact.

The two cold martial arts collided at this moment, and the cold air that escaped directly covered the dock with a layer of frost. The river water above the dock froze directly, but was soon washed away.

Yu Wenzhi only felt an extremely cold breath penetrating into his meridians from his palms. Since he had cultivated the Mysterious Ice Power, this was the first time he had felt such a degree of coldness, and he quickly dodged and retreated.

But that force was like a thorn in the flesh, flowing along the meridians throughout his body. Even with his current level of skill, he couldn't help but shiver.

“It really is…Mysterious Nether Divine Palm!”

A family like his has a strong foundation, and even the information about the great masters from the Ming Dynasty is recorded.

Yu Wenzhi naturally knew about this martial art with extremely special power.

The Mysterious Dark Divine Palm was created by Taoist Baisun, and apart from the two Xuanming Elders, there is no other successor.

Now that the two Xuanming Elders are dead, and this person looks incredibly old, perhaps he is indeed the Taoist Baisun...

However, Yu Wenzhi showed a smile.

It looked very strange on his frozen pale face.

Because he has already determined that although this person is powerful, he is definitely not a grandmaster.

As for the identity of Taoist Baisun... maybe.

But at this moment, it doesn't matter.

As long as he’s not a grandmaster!
The vital energy in his body circulated, dispelling the trace of the Mysterious Nether God Palm's power. He shouted, "This man is only a Second Flower Grandmaster. Go and surround and kill him! If you can find the Longevity Secret, you will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of Thousand Household Marquis!"

When everyone heard that it was just Master Erhua, and with the huge reward at hand, they immediately became excited, used their lightness skills to cross the enemy formation, and rushed to the dock.

"Ten thousand gold? A marquis of a thousand households? If you have the ability, come and get it!" Taoist Baisun laughed loudly and went towards the crowd. The power of his icy palm instantly forced everyone back and penetrated into the meridians of the three people in front, biting like a poisonous snake.

Everyone was immediately beaten back, trembling all over.

"Boiled!"

"Is this Grandmaster Erhua?"

"Yu Wenzhi! I'll burn you..."

The viciousness of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm could only be understood through personal experience. As soon as they saw the move, they realized that this person was definitely not a Second Flower Grandmaster, and their expressions changed instantly.

Those with explosive tempers will burst into curses in an instant.

Suddenly, a ghostly figure floated over, and Yu Wenzhi's cold gaze made the man's hair stand on end, and the second half of his words choked in his throat.

Ice Mysterious Power!
Yu Wenzhi would not get entangled with his men at this time. With the cold air surging, he blasted out with both palms and once again fought against Taoist Baisun.

This time he made preparations in advance. The Ice Profound Energy spread throughout his body, blocking the possibility of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm penetrating. Under this circumstance, he was able to exchange a few moves with Taoist Baisun.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to step forward and join forces to fight against Taoist Baisun.

It would have been fine if he hadn't come before, but now that he's here, if he runs away now, Yu Wenzhi will definitely hold a grudge against him.

More than ten innates and three masters joined forces, but when they really started fighting, they were still suppressed by Taoist Baisun.

After the overlapping projections, Taoist Baisun's current strength has reached the level of Sanhua Grandmaster. Although it is not as huge as the Grandmaster's strength gap, it is already difficult to kill him by means of military siege.

Taoist Baisun could easily freeze dozens of people to death with just one palm strike.

The only loss is true qi.

However, Qi can be restored. The speed at which the Three Flowers Grandmaster's Qi recovers is incredibly fast.

If he fights to the death, it will probably take tens of thousands of elite soldiers to exhaust his true energy and kill him.

As for the siege by Yu Wenzhi and others, although it was effective, it was almost impossible to kill them.

On the contrary, Taoist Baisun suppressed everyone with every move. Within a few minutes, many innate warriors were trembling all over and had to withdraw from the battle circle.

A few minutes later, the Qi defenses that Yu Wenzhi and the other three masters had set up in their bodies were also shattered by Taoist Baisun with one palm after another.

The power of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm once again entered the bodies of the three people.

The three men were trembling all over, their faces turned blue, and they had to withdraw from the battlefield.

Large shields hid everyone at the right time, but were then frozen by the power of the icy palm.

Cooperating with martial arts masters on the battlefield is also a necessary course in the daily training of these elite soldiers from the aristocratic families!
However, it is obvious that a strong man at the level of Sanhua Grandmaster is really beyond the standard even for them who have been trained.

Their military formations and various tactics were completely useless, and they could only use their own lives as cannon fodder to consume the Taoist's true energy.

Taoist Baisun refused to retreat and simply killed everyone in his way.

Seeing his elite soldiers being killed one after another like weeds, Yu Wenzhi couldn't help but show a look of pain.

Fortunately, at this time——

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The sound of a sharp weapon tearing through the air was heard, and three crossbows flew from a distance, aiming directly at Taoist Baisun.

However, while Yu Wenzhi and many elite soldiers were fighting against Taoist Baisun, the other two teams of elite soldiers were divided into four teams and boarded four five-tooth warships.

On the Wuya warship, crossbows were aimed at Taoist Baisun, and then they shot without hesitation!
At such a close distance, the accuracy of the crossbow can be imagined to be very accurate.

But Taoist Baisun had already noticed it. The moment the bed crossbows flew over, his figure flashed like a ghost and he easily dodged the three bed crossbows.

However, this is just the beginning.

The whistling sound of the wind continued, and all the crossbows on the four five-tooth warships fired in succession. The crossbow arrows, which were like spears, came like a rainstorm at this moment.

Taoist Baisun's figure in a black robe also flashed left and right at this moment. Only the sound of bangs was heard, and the crossbows were nailed to the dock.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look disappointed.

But just when they thought that Taoist Baisun was about to dodge all the crossbows and be safe and sound, Taoist Baisun suddenly misstepped and his body paused for a moment.

In just that instant, two crossbow arrows suddenly shot at it, piercing it directly from the front and the back!

Blood was splattered.

In Yu Wenzhi's eyes, it is a symbol of hope!
"Go! Kill him, and I'll report it to the emperor! Everyone will be rewarded!"

Others also saw this scene, and with Yu Wenzhi increasing the reward, most of the fear in everyone's heart disappeared, and they all rushed forward to kill.

Taoist Baisun's palms flew, and the blood splattered on his body immediately turned into ice cones that swept in all directions, piercing through the bodies of dozens of people, bringing out large amounts of blood, and then turned into blood-colored ice shields standing on both sides.

The crossbow arrow flew over, but it got stuck in the ice shield and couldn't penetrate it.

Seeing this, Yu Wenzhi took a spear, infused it with true energy, stabbed it with one spear, and charged into the enemy.

However, the blood shield was hazy, and no human figure could be seen in the blood-red light shining in by the sun.

"not good!"

Taoist Baisun had appeared on the river surface without anyone noticing.

The three pictures of the Changsheng Jue circulate in the body, with yin and yang as the tracks, flowing the power of water between heaven and earth.

The waves are surging on the river.

As the power of the Changsheng Jue skill was put into operation, it kept fluctuating, causing the ships docked on the water to fluctuate up and down, unable to calm down.

Even those five-toothed warships are the same.

Suddenly, cold air surged, and the surging river water froze into ice in an instant.

Taoist Baisun clapped his palms, and the ice spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the river surface hundreds of meters near the pier had completely frozen into ice.

"Xuanming Divine Palm!"

Taoist Baisun let out a low roar, and the frozen ice surface instantly bulged, transforming into two giant ice hands that slammed into the two Five-tooth warships.

boom! Long!
The two five-tooth warships were actually broken in half by these two huge icy hands, and all the soldiers on the ships were frozen into ice cubes in an instant!

"Great...great master..."

"He is actually a Grand Master!"

Everyone was shocked.

On the dock and on the Wuya warship, the elite soldiers of the aristocratic families were all stunned, with fear in their eyes.

As an ordinary person, at most he has practiced a little martial arts, and the strongest is a martial artist at the acquired realm. Facing a Three Flowers Grandmaster, he is just cannon fodder that consumes his true energy, let alone a grandmaster?
Then you won’t even be able to consume your true energy, and your death will be completely in vain!

The dozen or so innate masters were all frightened.

Harnessing the power of heaven and earth, he waved his hand, causing the river to roll, and the ice smashed the two five-tooth warships.

Although he did not show any martial intent.

But there is no doubt that he is the Grand Master!

As warriors of the Sui Dynasty, no other country knows better than them how terrifying the Grand Master is.

Yang Guang led three expeditions to Goguryeo. Although he did not have a grandmaster under his command, he had countless masters and innate talents. However, he failed every time and countless masters died.

The current uprisings against the military everywhere must have this as a reason.

And now, with such a small number of people, they are facing a grandmaster!

Endless regret welled up in my heart.

They regretted why they had to curry favor with Yu Wenhuaji at this time? There were other innate masters in Yangzhou City, so why didn't they come?

They originally thought that their actions were wise.

Now it seems so stupid!
The wind howled.

The power of heaven and earth turned into a heavy force pressing on everyone's shoulders, forcing them to bend over.

Although it was limited to this, the heavier pressure in their hearts made everyone kneel down on the ground.

Even Yu Wenzhi is the same.

I'm afraid that even in front of Yang Guang, he didn't kneel so solemnly.

A pair of simple cloth shoes appeared in front of Yu Wenzhi.

Taoist Baisun laughed, pulled out the Secret of Immortality from his bosom, and asked, "Yu Wenzhi, the Secret of Immortality is right here. Do you still want it?"

"That's... of course!"

Yu Wenzhi suddenly raised his head, and the spear in his hand, infused with true energy, possessed endless power. Like lightning, it stabbed upwards and fiercely towards Taoist Baisun.

As a master, this shot will naturally not go astray.

Of course, the premise is that Taoist Baisun does not hide.

In fact, he did not hide.

So this shot, full of surprise, but without any surprise, directly pierced into Taoist Baisun's heart!
The gun tip came out from the other side.
