Seeing "Dodo" plumt from the sky, the people showed no courtesy and charged forward with a battle cry.
There were still 30 people coming to raid the camp, each one a formidable fighter, yet their cultivation thods differed from the martial path of the Otherworld, making their strength hard to judge.
They wielded their weapons, casting a chilling glint, and it seed their prowess was sowhere between Spirit Refinent and Blood-Exchange.
But in front of Dodo, who was in the Golden Body Realm, they were simply courting death.
Dodo, his face filled with arrogance, charged into the crowd, spreading his ten fingers and clawing wildly in all directions as if he were a tiger gone mad!
The consequences were nothing short of horrific. With the roaring energy, a man ard with a sword similar to a "Japanese Sword" was torn into five pieces, along with his weapon, by a single swipe.
Soone exclaid, "The heir of the Qi Family Saber couldn't block even a single move..."
Before the words died away, Dodo's hand had already passed in front of that person's face.
This man was from the Bagua Gate, wielding a "war saber" heavy enough to be used as a shield, which, along with its wielder, was now reduced to countless pieces.
If it weren't for the grating sound of tal breaking, bystanders might think they were made of paper.
Dodo charged into the fray, slaughtering all in his path, with no one capable of withstanding even a single blow, killing more than 10 people in just a few breaths!
Broken weapons and mutilated limbs were strewn about, and the stench of blood soared to the heavens!
Dodo laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, a bunch of ants, not even a match for a single round!"
anwhile, Shi Jingyan, the strongest on the Southern Ming side, realizing that they could not overpower such might, gave a aningful glance to a woman in the crowd.
This woman, still full of charm, held a green steel sword and subtly nodded back when she caught his gaze.
In the next second, the two executed a masterful coordination!
Shi Jingyan, with a surge of inner power, shook his Great Lance with a "whistling" sound that transford into a dragon shadow, striking towards the enemy.
Just from the sound of it slicing through the air, one could tell the move was imnsely powerful and full of endless variations, reaching the standard of the Innate Realm.
At the sa ti, the charming woman stealthily approached behind Dodo, shooting her steel sword at just the right mont, creating perfect coordination with the Great Lance!
Faced with the pincer attack, Dodo, scoffing, made no move to dodge or avoid, letting both weapons strike him.
Shi Jingyan and the woman were ruthless, the Great Lance targeting the throat and the steel sword piercing towards the eyes, both striking at critical points!
Yet, with a "clang," both weapons were halted by a thin layer of golden light, unable to advance even an inch.
Dodo mocked, "Are you trying to tickle ?"
Unconvinced, Shi Jingyan and the woman circulated around the enemy, attacking repeatedly with sparks flying everywhere.
But they just could not breach the golden light that was only one-tenth the thickness of a strand of hair. This seemingly insignificant glow was like an insurmountable chasm, no matter how much strength they used or how much inner power they mobilized, breaking their weapons was of no use!
At that, the faces of everyone around turned sour, and soone cried out in dismay:
"What martial arts is this lord of the dynasty using? Master Shi is one of the top martial artists in the world, yet he can't even wound him!"
"There are rumors that the Qing Empire's Khan and the eight princes received divine martial skills from foreigners... who could have imagined it to be true..."
"This might well be where we et our end!"
...
Despite his repeated attacks, Dodo could not get the better of the two.
The man and woman seed to share a tacit understanding, always ready to co to each other's aid when one was in trouble—sotis even at the risk of their own safety. But it was precisely because of this that they managed to scrape through death ti and ti again.
After several clashes, Dodo grew annoyed and roared, "Soul Dispersion Claw!"
Claws crossing, he launched an X-shaped blade of energy that howled towards Shi Jingyan.
But at that mont, the charming woman suddenly stepped in front of Shi Jingyan, her long sword shattering as the stray energy tore open a huge gash across her chest!
"A Jing!" Shi Jingyan cried out in alarm, quickly embracing the woman and pressing on her acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, but blood still soaked their clothes in an instant.
```
Shi Dewei sighed quietly to himself, aware that there was a mutual affection between the two, but the woman was his widowed sister-in-law, and because of traditional customs, he had never been able to express his feelings.
"Well, being paired in our fate as mandarin ducks today isn't so bad."
At this mont, the elite Qing forces were bearing down on them, making escape impossible for everyone involved.
Dodo instead shouted to the Qing soldiers under his command, "I will attend to this matter personally!"
He intended to deal with the adversaries before him himself, to truly experience the Martial Dao Divine Skills passed down by his master.
But the next second, he abruptly turned towards the place where the "tal Pillar" had been set up and roared:
"How dare you! Who tampered with my Formation!"
Dodo couldn't care about anything else, he exerted his strength in an instant, shattering the ground beneath him, and leaped away.
But the Southern Ming side shouldn't think of escaping either, for the army's elite had already closed in!
~~~~~~~~~~~
At this ti, the one who had tampered with the "Formation" was naturally Lu Yao.
Sensing movent at the site where the essence of intelligence was being extracted, he had rushed over at the first opportunity.
The essence of intelligence in this world was three tis higher than that of the Giant World, which was decent enough, but now it was like a patient continuously losing blood, on the brink of collapse.
The culprit was the "tal Pillar" before him.
Lu Yao pulled it from the ground, recognizing at a glance that this was a "Magic Artifact" capable of extracting the essence of intelligence.
It was like the fangs of a vampire bat, plunging into its prey's body to suck continuously, slowly and steadily.
This was a more sophisticated thod of exploitation, a sustainable way of fishing to dryness, without wasting a bit of the world's resources.
And upon closer inspection, Lu Yao found that this Magic Artifact could also gather willing power! Inside was a considerable amount, all of it the Dynasty's Will of the Qing Dynasty!
"Both the essence of intelligence and willing power, taking in all the benefits of the heavenly and human paths, what a player."
He instantly understood the dual effects of this Magic Artifact and, combining that with the Martial Dao Cultivation of the Qing forces, he ca to a realization:
"It seems a peer has gotten here first and set up this play."
Spirit Refinent experts traverse various realms to capture what they need, and one could either force their way through or be clever about it, and this realm seed to have been manipulated by soone's designs.
Encountering a peer is not a good thing, just like fierce animals in the jungle, they might have to fight over their prey.
"Moreover, this person... quite possibly cos from the sa place as I do, and is from the Thunder Tribulation Realm..."
At that mont, Lu Yao recalled what Ali had said about "those hidden in the small worlds."
Looking at the characters carved on the tal pillar—Immortal Saint Han of the White Deer.
This must be that peer who arrived earlier and played his hand well.
Just then, a fierce breaking sound ca from the sky, Dodo had returned for a killing blow:
"Who dares to destroy my Formation! Die!"
With those words, he launched a full power attack with the Soul Dispersion Claw.
Lu Yao raised an eyebrow, "He even cultivated to the Golden Body Realm?"
The Mind Projection appeared behind him as he unleashed the "Regret of the Dragon" to counterattack head-on.
But Dodo's attention focused on the shining golden light on Lu Yao's body, which represented an Indestructible Will that was more than ten tis stronger than his own!
"This is impossible... you..."
In a resounding explosion, the forearm of Prince Yu was broken, and he was sent flying back even faster than before.
Lu Yao shrugged his shoulders, thinking that if his own physical body were there, this fellow would have lost a third of his body.
