    Chapter 635: Chapter 568: Courting Death?


    “How did he suddenly become so strong?


    Was he hiding his true skill before?”


    Tao Yu looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, at the converging and roaming Thunder Serpents, amassing an infinite amount of lightning like a Thunder Pool.


    A wave of pressure also emerged in his heart.


    Previously, Saruman’s summoning of floods was still within the rules, but now the power of this storm had greatly intensified!


    Tao Yu himself also possessed the Thunder Method, as well as the artistic conception of Thunder Intent.


    ...


    After grazing Teng Lianghong, his understanding of the Way of Thunder also became much more profound.


    But even the current him, purely in terms of Thunder Method, was still far from this level!


    Comparing the two, the thunder that Shi Jian summoned before really felt like child’s play.


    Tao Yu seemed hesitant; he himself held the sequential ability of a Weather Mage and should be able to deal with this situation if he went all out.


    But now, if he didn’t hold back and truly unleashed his full strength,


    He might end up killing more than Saruman did.


    Gandalf would have to beg him to stop getting in the way and let Saruman strike.@@@@


    “Gandalf, I can’t protect them!”


    Tao Yu spoke with a heavy tone.


    He originally felt that with his strength, plus the pressure of the approaching army forming the Legion’s Strength, whether Saruman continued to play the loyal servant or turned traitor, he would have had methods to respond, to advance or retreat freely.


    But Saruman’s sudden burst of cosmos truly caught him off guard.


    This thunderstorm looked terrifying and covered a wide area, but the threat it posed to Tao Yu as an individual was still not much.


    After all, the broader the scope, the lower the intensity per unit area.


    Tao Yu himself was of this level, he wouldn’t fall apart from an AOE attack.


    But now the issue was, he had led the Rohan cavalry into this!


    Tens of thousands of fully armored knights, they were to accompany him to Gondor and then to the counteroffensive in the Land of Darkness, something he had to assimilate.


    They couldn’t be lost here!


    Moreover, even setting aside his own interests, Tao Yu’s character didn’t wish to see so many people suffer due to his arrangements.


    “So it really is Saruman...”


    Gandalf sighed with some regret.


    Although their previous conversation had already made him aware and he had made some guesses,


    Now that he was certain, he still felt sorrowful.


    He had even guessed some of the reasons.


    Ultimately, joining forces with Gandalf, they neutralized all the devastating thunder above!


    The white eggshell shattered, and the army, nearly unscathed, surged out like floodwaters!


    However, Gandalf, who bore the brunt of the strike, obviously had his face turn much paler.


    “Saruman has sided with darkness, I believe it’s best for us to leave now,” Gandalf said with grave concern.


    Previously, he had come with Celeborn, but who knew what had transpired.


    Suddenly, there was no longer any pretense, which certainly indicated there was a reason he couldn’t maintain the facade!


    Gandalf was suddenly filled with worry for his old friend’s safety.


    “We’ve already come this far; if we don’t overcome this in one vigorous effort, what will we do if he attacks like this again during our retreat?


    As long as I can get close, I have a way to restrain him!”


    Tao Yu’s statement made Gandalf nod, reminded of the scene where the other party had subdued the Flame Demon.


    “Then, the rest is up to you...”


    Tao Yu closed his eyes and, moments later, Medici’s figure emerged beside him.


    “Later you lead them to wipe out those Orc armies.


    Gandalf, you kill more as well.


    I suspect Saruman might be the Fortune Thief, gaining strength by killing a large number of strong Orcs, which is why he has the confidence to confront you.”


    Even the Fortune Thief’s utilization rate shouldn’t cause such a significant increase; it’s more likely that his original Maiar powers have been reawakened!


    Truly a formidable adversary!


    With this unexpected development, Tao Yu hoped Gandalf would be as strong as possible.


    After all, he was the most reliable source of power they could utilize here.


    “I understand...


    Take care, Mr.


    Tao,” Gandalf acknowledged with gravity.


    Meanwhile, Medici, drawing on Tao Yu’s power, carefully sensed the Legion’s strength and then opened his eyes to say,


    “No problem, this army is of good quality.”


    Having received agreement from both parties, Tao Yu leapt directly from the horse.


    In the midst of his jump, a swath of black shadow wrapped around him, adorning him with a set of black ornate armor.


    He then transformed into a dark shadowy streak, rushing straight to the top of the Tower of Orthanc!


    At this moment, standing at the top of the Tower of Orthanc, Saruman, who had just launched an attack and was in slight recovery, watched the aggressive approach of Tao Yu, his pupils slightly shrinking.


    His original prediction was that this man shouldn’t excel at direct combat.


    Was this an attempt to rescue the group by pulling him into a Duel Space?


    Not only did he think this, but the Pioneers, who had just come to their senses from the shock of the previous thunderstorm, also saw Tao Yu’s onslaught and had the same thought.


    How dare he...
