Chapter 635: Chapter 568: Courting Death?
“How did he suddenly beco 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 erged 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 thod, as well as the artistic conception of Thunder Intent.
...
After grazing Teng Lianghong, his understanding of the Way of Thunder also beca much more profound.
But even the current him, purely in terms of Thunder thod, was still far from this level!
Comparing the two, the thunder that Shi Jian summoned before really felt like child’s play.
Tao Yu seed 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 thods 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, sothing 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 arrangents.
“So it really is Saruman…”
Gandalf sighed with so regret.
Although their previous conversation had already made him aware and he had made so guesses,
Now that he was certain, he still felt sorrowful.
He had even guessed so of the reasons.
The disappearance of Aman State had caused a chain reaction…
“I’ll do my best.”
As Gandalf spoke, a white glow gradually erged from his body.
From a faint mist at first to a rich glow that later resembled the Sun.
Now Tao Yu, who was in command of the cavalry, with his own ability to reinforce and coordinate with the legion, also successfully helped the soldiers suppress their needless fear.
Even when faced with the oppressive black clouds in the sky and the converging Thunder Pool, they were still charging on their horses.
But at the sa ti, the shadows beneath them began to crawl upwards, gradually forming a pitch-black armor.
Tao Yu began to use his own power in integration with the Legion’s Strength to nourish them in return!
Just him alone truly didn’t have the ability to protect everyone.
But if Gandalf on the other side could form a defense and coordinate with him, then the difficulty would undoubtedly be much less.
Saruman has suddenly beco so much stronger, as a fellow Maiar, you shouldn’t be that much weaker, right?!
You’ve got the creds to be brought back by Illuvatar himself!
Boom—
The Thunder Pool in the sky suddenly broke its banks, and lightning poured down like a torrential downpour.
And almost at the sa ti, Gandalf raised his magic wand and roared.
A dazzling white radiance burst forth, covering the entire cavalry legion.
The white brilliance, like an inverted eggshell, made contact first with the downpour of thunder.
The dense thunder, as relentless as a torrential rain and accompanied by deafening roars, all struck this white eggshell.
It made Gandalf roar loudly, stubbornly holding his magic wand aloft without lowering it.
From within the protection of the white glow, one could see those bolts of thunder hitting the outer ‘eggshell’, leaving behind twisted ripples.
There were also scattered Thunder Serpents slithering along the eggshell.
At the sa ti, they were also deforming this eggshell…
Crack~ Crack~
Destruction is always simpler than defense, especially since Saruman’s power indeed surpassed Gandalf’s.
Even though Gandalf defended with all his might, his hair and beard flying wildly,
the cracks in his defensive barrier grew larger and larger until stray thunders began pouring inside.
The lingering electric shocks bounced off the soldiers’ black armor, sending one knight after another flying.
The Shadow Black Armor’s defense preserved their lives but could not prevent them from being hurled away.
“Majestic heavenly thunder, by Symbol Casting…”
Tao Yu bit his finger and swiftly wrote out a talisman in the air.
With his own Thunder Intent, and understanding of the Way of Conquering Thunder, combined with Teng Lianghong’s Kaji, he instantly drew the excess thunder into the Blood Talisman.
Without even invoking the Weather Mage’s ability, he still gained a touch of enlightennt and an additional understanding.
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 co 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 co this far; if we don’t overco 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 statent made Gandalf nod, reminded of the scene where the other party had subdued the Fla Demon.
“Then, the rest is up to you…”
Tao Yu closed his eyes and, monts later, dici’s figure erged 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 developnt, 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.
anwhile, dici, 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 agreent 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 transford into a dark shadowy streak, rushing straight to the top of the Tower of Orthanc!
At this mont, 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 co to their senses from the shock of the previous thunderstorm, also saw Tao Yu’s onslaught and had the sa thought.
How dare he…
