Chapter 710 Besiege And Kill Zhao Yun! (1/2)

GOR

A Thunderstorm Tank was stationed within the rear part of the big tent. There were two people standing on the tank.

The one on the left was Jiang Long. As for the one on the right, he was a short man in resplendent attire. His chin sported a finely trimmed beard and his eyes glinted with light.

The two of them were looking at the besieged Zhao Yun with emotionless expressions.

“Prime Minister, this place is dangerous. I ask that you retreat for the time being.”

A muscular man with a rough countenance, wielding a huge hammer, knelt down before the Thunderstorm Tank and spoke with a respectful tone. Although he was talking normally, the volume of his voice was comparable to that of thunder.

“Not a problem.” The short man waved his hand with a frown. “There is only one enemy. It is not even worth mentioning. With their protection, my safety is assured. There is no need for you to worry, Zhongkang (Xu Chu). Head back.”

“Yes!” The muscular, hammer-wielding man hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. Taking a few steps backward, he then turned around and moved cautiously toward the battle zone ahead.

There was a circle of Tiger Guard soldiers around the two of them. The soldiers’ swords have all been unsheathed as they warily stood guard, their killing intent billowing upward even as they defended the central tent.

“After becoming Cao Cao, the aura you emanate is good. Even the way you talk is about the same as him, Tong You.” Jiang Long turned to look at the short man beside him. He revealed a satisfied smile. “Even Xu Chu, his personal bodyguard, could not realize anything.[1]”

“When controlling his soul, all his memories and personality will be taken as well. I simply made use of them. Naturally, I am able to look the same.” The man with Cao Cao’s external appearance, which Jiang Long had addressed as Tong You, chuckled. There was, however, a slight look of concern on his face. “However, Manager, are you sure we will not be in any danger here?”

The two of them spoke softly. Xu Chu and the surrounding Tiger Guard soldiers were stationed far enough that they did not have to worry about getting overheard.

“You have already left the main camp in advance. Even if Zhao Yun can really charge in here, he cannot find you. Besides, given the number of soldiers Cao Cao has and the many Awakened ones here, what is there to worry about?” Jiang Long sneered. “Right now, you just need to stabilize the situation. If the soldiers fall into a state of disarray, how will we fight this battle? Do not forget, it is because of you that everyone can freely utilize their skills and equipment.”

“I understand, I understand…” Tong You checked their surroundings as he secretly wiped away his sweat. “Can we really take him down so easily? Isn’t it a little too easy?”

“A silver spear, silver armour and a white horse. Who else can it be if not Zhao Yun?” Jiang Long laughed. “He is this instance dungeon’s only quest objective. By killing him, we can complete this instance dungeon. How unexpected. We had only just entered this instance dungeon and the BOSS came looking for us on its own. As it so happens, the NPCs on our side are very powerful and you also happen to have a soul subjugating skill. We are very lucky this time around. In 10 minutes, we will finish this instance dungeon!”

Up front, Zhao Yun was besieged by a group of generals and the Tiger Guard soldiers. Although there were countless corpses of the Tiger Guard soldiers lying down all around her, not a single one of the generals had been killed. Instead, Zhao Yun had suffered from a number of wounds.

The strength of the generals was quite outstanding. They complemented each other in their forward and backward actions. Whenever their attacks failed to hit home, they will quickly retreat while their companions helped made up for the shortcomings of their moves.

The Awakened ones staying at the edge of the besieging soldiers were also constantly harassing Zhao Yun with long-ranged attacks. Although the power of their attacks was not too strong, incapable of breaking through the silvery luminescence protecting Zhao Yun’s body, their attacks did disrupt her rhythm of attack, forcing her to pull back her spear to defend herself.

“Eh… Manager… …” There was an awkward smile on Tong You’s face. “I feel that this chaotic situation is a little dangerous…”

“Chaotic?” Jiang Long gave a harrumph. “You…”

As he was in the midst of speaking, light suddenly erupted out from before them. It was as though hundreds of suns had suddenly appeared there at that moment.

With Zhao Yun acting as the centre, the surrounding Tiger Guard soldiers were instantly transformed into human-shape charcoal. As for the soldiers that were slightly further away, they too fell to the ground, screaming. There were scorch wounds on their bodies, all of varying degrees, dependent on the distance between them and Zhao Yun.

While the generals were closer to Zhao Yun’s position, the combat energy they emanated were much stronger than the ordinary soldiers. Even so, all of them cried out in pain and they scrambled backward in retreat. The surface of their skin, scorched by the burst of light, blistered. Scorch marks could also be seen on the surface of their skin.

“Damn!”

Jiang Long, who was far away from the battle zone, lowered his head while gnashing his teeth. He laboured to raise his head and look forward. Tong You, who was beside him, had already covered up his face and was rolling on the tank.

Zhao Yun stood there with her head lowered. The light she unleashed gradually grew dim.

Next, a silvery sword beam abruptly shot out from the back of her left shoulder. The silvery sword beam cut open a hole through her armour, bringing blood with it as it shot out.

The silvery beam punched through the air without faltering. Only after piercing through over 10 of Cao Cao’s soldiers, who happened to be standing in its trajectory, did it dissipate away.
