Watching the shower of pebbles approaching, Tao Yu casually swatted one away, feeling the impact of the pebbles, his heart also went numb.
Actually, there was nothing special about an ordinary pebble, with his strength, he could easily deflect it.
But the problem was, Temor had shattered a boulder about ten feet in diameter, weighing tens of thousands of pounds!
Directly creating a cloud of blood mist on the south bank!
Even then, only a small portion of the fragments had covered people.
The majority smashed directly onto the cliffs, kicking up dust and debris!
The many layers of cliff that were dislodged cascaded down into the water, creating waves.
The martial artists in the area of the southern cliff covered by these stones had almost no time to react before they were seriously injured.
The experts in the affected area were better off, barely managing to defend themselves, but most were not so strong, many dying tragically.
The strike was like divine retribution!
The survivors who didn’t die were all on this side, crying out for their fathers and mothers.
Many bitterly questioned why the attack did not target the other side!
But soon, they noticed the figure on the boat who seemed like a Demon God, charging straight for the opposite shore.
Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin, the two grandmasters, were sent flying with a single hit.
After that, the Dragon Swirls surrounded them!
The various sounds of agony from the opposite bank made the wailing on this side lessen a bit, for fear of drawing the opponent’s attention!
Meanwhile, Song Que at their side took a step forward, his gaze locked onto Tao Yu on the opposite bank, his eyes glittering with resolution and his body radiating a sense of battle-readiness and excitement.
His hand also grasped the hilt of his weapon, his blade seeming to vibrate slightly in response to the excitement in his heart.
But in the end, Song Que still was unable to issue a challenge.
The gap was too big...
It was despairingly large!
He knew very well the extent of his own strength, being as experienced as he was.
But that did not hide the excitement in Song Que’s heart.
He had been alone for too long, standing at the pinnacle for too long; he thought he had reached the end, but as the boulder exploded, it seemed to clear the fog before his eyes, revealing yet another magnificent mountain!
Turns out, the peak he had scaled before was merely the entrance to this grand and majestic summit, which had been obscured by mist...
There was a path forward, after all!
Ning Daoqi and Liao Kong, who were guarding the south bank, also stood there expressionless.
Last time, in Jingnian Zen Monastery, the opponent was strong but still within the range of a grandmaster!
He had a peculiar one-hit burst strength and incomprehensible stamina.
But they never felt despair.
The Four Great Holy Monks were somewhat weaker than them; they believed as long as the opponent didn’t use that technique, which seemed to be a great burden, they could fight!
This time, rubbing their hands together, they invited many heroes from the Martial World, thinking no matter how strange the opponent’s moves, how many times could he use them?
Even if the opponent had strange stamina, how long could it last?
Even if his True Yuan was exceptionally pure and hard to get rid of once inside the body, how many could he affect?
With such an absolute geographical advantage, how could they lose?
However, they had only just met, only mistakenly triggered the rock-throwing mechanism, only witnessed one fleeting strike from the opponent.
Looking at the still-settling dust on their side of the cliff and the martial artists covered in blood, then at the carnage on the opposite bank.
The two could only feel a profound sense of powerlessness.
"He has found the way forward..."
Ning Daoqi spoke with a complex expression, somewhat wistfully.
Liao Kong, who had broken his vow of silence, also let out a sigh.
His heart was filled with deep unease.
How to resolve this matter of Yangzhou and the rumors of the Heavenly Demon from beyond the border!
"I think there might be some misunderstanding here, the disaster in Yangzhou still needs to be confronted by the survivors who were present at the time," one said.
"Yes, that makes sense!" the other agreed.
"This benefactor spared lives in Luoyang, which shows he still has some compassion, he’s not the type to enjoy bloodshed," one reasoned.
"Yes, that makes sense!" the other agreed.
"Being so young and yet possessing such skill, his temperament and martial arts must be flawless; he wouldn’t do something that could potentially leave him with such a mental burden," one deduced.
"Yes, that makes sense!" the other agreed.
Through their back and forth, the tense atmosphere even among grandmasters began to settle down.
Yet both couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts...
It was not perfect anymore.
Shi Feixuan at their side also retained a look of shock in her eyes.
She had thought of all kinds of changes, even imagined Tao Yu using his peculiar ultimate technique multiple times to defeat their top fighters.
But what she had not expected was such a one-sided situation, not giving them a single chance of fighting back!
For a moment, Shi Feixuan also felt a trace of bitterness; though she had made backup plans, it seemed that the opponent currently wouldn’t care about such arrangements...
"Amitabha, may Benefactor Tao please show mercy, there may be some misunderstanding. The rock-throwing mechanism was ordered by Jie Hui without authorization, upsetting the benefactor. I will immediately send him to the afterlife," Liao Kong said while pressing his palm towards Jie Hui.
Jie Hui was not weak, but feeling the strike coming from behind scared him witless, wondering how the monk knew about it?!
"Brother Song, save me!" he cried out.
But at that moment, he saw Song Que merely watching him coldly, even stepping forward to block any potential escape.
In such a desperate situation, Jie Hui’s face showed the color of despair, then with vengeance in his heart and True Qi surging violently, he withstood a punishing blow and then shouted heinously,
"It’s all because of these bald donkeys..."
