"Not going to play fair in martial ethics?"


    Upon hearing Tao Yu’s resounding voice, amplified by his sonic skill, Bo Yan’s face twisted, and he then bellowed,


    "We were never part of the Martial World! It’s the survival of the fittest! Today, it’s either you die, or I perish!"


    The more Tao Yu retreated and spoke, the more his momentum seemed to swell.


    But in the next moment, he saw the two AT200s that Tao Yu had pulled out.


    Their odd, black appearance left him somewhat perplexed.


    However, by this time, all the soldiers in the camp that could mount horses had done so. The sons of the plains began to showcase their unparalleled riding and shooting skills, preparing to draw their bows and notch their arrows atop their mounts.


    "This is a gun, codenamed AT200, thirty-six rounds per breath. I kindly ask everyone for your instruction."


    Tao Yu’s two shooting skills were on display here, along with the local advantage collapse brought by his "Meditation Technique" undergoing a second stage of Deification.


    As the twin guns spit flames from their barrels, it didn’t take long for Bo Yan to realize why the opponent was actually creating distance.


    In front of him, Tao Yu’s eighteen Blood Dragons raged, although impressive in sound and fury, he was only able to control an area within fifteen feet. In order not to waste his True Yuan, the actual killing range was limited; it was mainly the morale that had taken a significant hit.


    The soldiers in the camp scattered in all directions. Combined with Tao Yu’s own depletion, the spectacle was indeed grand, but the number of kills was not enough to cause the military camp to collapse. It was mainly the morale that had utterly disintegrated.


    But with these two AT200s firing thirty-six rounds per breath unchecked, and that horrifyingly accurate headshot rate with each shot,


    the real scene of reaping lives unfolded before Bo Yan!


    Even though Tao Yu had to continuously change magazines, this completely unknown and bizarre manner of dying was laid out before them.


    An army that had already experienced a collapse in morale at the start didn’t last a minute before it broke apart outright.


    The first time they still had the incentive of the opponent’s ’exhausted inner strength’ within them.


    But this time, dying in such incomprehensible circumstances was simply too much to bear!


    They had no idea of the total number of bullets Tao Yu possessed; whoever wanted to die could go ahead, whoever loved it could do it!


    The camp of the plains’ army, stationed here, instantaneously disintegrated!


    "We surrender, we surrender, please grant us a way to live..."


    Once renowned across the plains for withstanding even Titans and managing an orderly retreat, this group of elite plains warriors


    truly couldn’t withstand it anymore, and General Bo Yan uttered the words of full surrender.


    And the plains’ soldiers, one after another, voluntarily dropped their weapons.


    Tao Yu also stopped pulling the trigger of the guns in his hands.


    It wasn’t out of compassion, but mainly because the exclusive bullets for the AT200 were actually quite expensive. Who knew if they would be needed in a similar situation next time? It was best to save where possible.


    And these prisoners were also sellable assets; well-trained elites were not cheap.


    Secret manuals had too much overlap, and after Shaolin bundled them up, the subsequent added value would decrease. But with enough of these well-trained elites, he could make a good sum of money.


    Bo Yan answered honestly.


    They were just looking for a place to save their lives!


    And this world, after all, belongs to Divine Sculpture and Legend of the Archer, different from the real world, where Zhongnan Mountain was the place Wang Chongyang prepared to raise an army, easy to defend and hard to attack. It’s also suitable for stationing troops, so indeed about ten thousand soldiers of the plains could go up there!

    It’s just that the Quanzhen Sect was very wary of them, never permitting their advance, and even arranged disciples to guard the mountain paths.


    Relying on the dangerous terrain, they weren’t afraid of a quick assault.


    The army of the plains did not wish to waste their strength attacking the mountain, leading to a deadlock between the two parties.


    In fact, they were also in negotiations with the Quanzhen Sect and were even ready to settle disputes with martial contests following the rules of the Martial World.


    With King Golden Wheel present, they truly had confidence.


    But the Quanzhen Sect has not given any clear response yet.


    "According to our constant observation, it seems they’re having some internal trouble; a disciple has fled, and at night we can see them searching the mountain with torches."


    "Ah?"


    Tao Yu also paused upon hearing this. A mountain search? A disciple has fled?


    Yang Guo?


    Although Yang Guo’s matter was incidental, according to the original storyline, he indeed spent several months studying at the Quanzhen Sect before being driven to flee in betrayal.


    Now, with the plains’ army besieging the mountain, it’s very possible that the trigger causing his betrayal has emerged.


    It wasn’t necessary for Yang Guo to trigger the betrayal during the Sect’s minor competition.


    Given his poor relationship with Zhao Zhijing, the seeds of discord were already sown, and with the hidden danger of the Toad Skill, as well as his own stubborn persona from childhood, almost any incident could push him over the edge.


    So it’s not surprising that nothing changed due to the siege of the plains’ army.


    In fact, their siege might serve as a trigger instead.


    "Let it be. Gather your weapons, get organized, collect some straggling soldiers, and stay put here. Since your provisions are sufficient for the time being, just stay put. If any unruly killing is discovered, heh, you won’t necessarily be killed."


    Tao Yu looked at Bo Yan, smiling with a chilling flash of white teeth.


    It made Bo Yan’s face turn deathly pale with fear.


    Recalling the previous torment, he really felt that death would have been a release!


    "Please rest assured, my lord. I will definitely keep them in check, definitely!"


    The answer was firm and decisive.


    Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be the first to be killed!
