Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 328 A desperate plan to defeat Yin Zhong

The two dragons intertwined and climbed higher and higher, reaching a place in the clouds at an unknown height.

The air here is already thinning, and a cold wind is blowing.

Looking down, the mountains are no bigger than chicken eggs, and the rivers are just a ribbon.

Stimulated by the cold wind, Yin Zhong calmed down considerably, and a sudden inspiration struck him.

He suddenly understood why Tong Bo did this.

"You want me to fall to my death?"

The crimson dragon roared, its teeth extremely sharp.

Tong Bo remained silent.

He could feel that the true energy in his body had been completely exhausted.

But he desperately squeezed his body to extract more true energy in order to maintain the dragon's form.

The purpose of doing this was, of course, to lock Yin Zhong up tightly and prevent him from escaping.

This only strengthened Yin Zhong's belief in his own ideas.

The idea of ​​a dragon falling to its death sounds like a fantasy.

But in reality, it is quite possible to do so, since his dragon is not a real dragon, but a human-made illusion.

The last time Tong Bo used the Dragon God Skill to fight Yin Zhong, although Yin Zhong won, his injuries relapsed and he was unable to pursue him.

This incident made Tong Bo realize that he didn't need to rely entirely on his own strength to defeat Yin Zhong. He could achieve his goal by triggering Yin Zhong's injuries.

He approached Yin Zhong in order to achieve this goal.

Of course, getting close is only one aspect; the main goal is to make Yin Zhong lower his guard.

Otherwise, Yin Zhong, who was on high alert, might have reacted differently the moment Yin Zhong used the Dragon God Technique.

They might dodge, or they might unleash their Dragon God Technique to clash with him.

It would never have evolved into the current situation under any circumstances.

In some ways, this was a huge gamble.

Because no one can be sure, not even Tong Bo himself, that Yin Zhong will lose his guard the moment he fails and falls in front of him.

Fortunately, he won his gamble.

Yin Zhong relaxed for a moment.

It was in this instant that Tong Bo seized the opportunity, unleashing his Dragon God Technique to lift Yin Zhong into the sky.

At the same time, he lost the support of the blood packs from the thousands of people, and could no longer absorb the life force of the thousands of Iron Guards to heal his injuries.

Having achieved this step, Tong Bo's plan can be said to be more than half complete.

The remaining half was to grit their teeth and desperately fly into the sky.

And now, he has done it.

For Tong Bo, the biggest drawback of using the Dragon God Skill is the enormous depletion of his true energy.

But for Yin Zhong, the depletion of his true energy was nothing; the impact on his injuries was the most important thing.

With only five percent of his health remaining, Yin Zhong will detonate his injuries once he uses the Dragon God Technique for a certain period of time.

Coincidentally, this time was just slightly longer than the maximum time that Tong Bo could sustain with the Dragon God Skill.

In this way, when the two reach the highest heavens, they will transform into human form, one after the other.

Yin Zhong, whose injuries had recurred and was in excruciating pain, was facing a height of several thousand meters.

He will fall directly from this height.

This is Tong Bo's plan.

Under normal circumstances, Yin Zhong would not have paid any attention to such a height of several thousand meters.

However, given the severity of his injury, he probably doesn't have a good way to solve this problem.

Of course, he could also immediately exit the Dragon God Technique state to avoid the outbreak of injury.

This way, I can buy myself a little more time to transform into a dragon.

Just before hitting the ground, use this move; the flying technique of the Dragon God Art can neutralize all gravity and allow you to land safely.

But if he doesn't use the Dragon God Technique, how can he possibly stop Tong Bo, who has now transformed into a dragon?
If he dared to cancel the Dragon God Technique and revert to human form, he would probably be crushed to death by Tong Bo in the next instant, without even waiting for him to fall.

It can be said that, at this point, Yin Zhong has found himself in a dilemma.

Tong Bo's plan has only one flaw left.

That means Yin Zhong's time as a dragon was longer than his.

What if he instantly reverted to human form after Tong Bo lost his power, thus saving himself a last bit of time?

Therefore, Tong Bo is now pushing his body to its limits in an attempt to prolong the duration.

No matter what, we must hold on until Yin Zhong's injuries flare up!

This desperate will squeezed even more potential out of his body, and the duration of his dragon transformation actually continued even after reaching its limit.

Yin Zhong panicked.

Once he understood Tong Bo's plan, he naturally considered the possible outcomes.

If he were to fall directly from a height of several thousand meters, he would probably be smashed into a pile of minced meat.

Although he knew that even so, he would not die.

The phrase "immortal god and demon" is not just for boasting; it refers to the true ability to be immortal!

Even the powerful attack from the Spirit Mirror in the past couldn't kill him, let alone a fall.

But not dying doesn't mean you won't get hurt.

Just like the attack from the Spirit Mirror, which left him in a half-dead state of slumber for hundreds of years.

Even if he survives the fall, he will definitely need to sleep for several years to recover.

This is clearly not what he wanted.

several years!

That's too long.

I'm afraid Tong Bo and the others will all return to Shuiyue Cave and never come out again.

He waited five hundred years for this opportunity.

If we miss this opportunity, when will we have another chance?

"Are you crazy? I'll fall to my death, but do you think you'll survive?"

In a panic, Yin Zhong roared.

"You're panicking!"

Tong Bo spoke up.

He had been silent all along, only focused on flying, but now he was eager to speak: "Since I came up with this plan, I naturally thought of the outcome long ago. I have long since disregarded life and death."

"You're a madman!" Yin Zhong gritted his teeth, a sense of fear rising in his heart.

Tong Bo said, "You want to enter the Water Moon Cave to find the Spirit Mirror to heal your injuries? But you probably don't know that the Spirit Mirror is a treasure with a spirit. Many years ago, our Tong Clan couldn't find it anymore!"

"What?!" Yin Zhong exclaimed in shock and anger, "Impossible! You're lying to me!"

“When a person is about to die, their words are good. I’m about to die with you, why would I lie to you?” Tong Bo said calmly.

Yin Zhong is really going crazy now.

He had waited hundreds of years for this opportunity, and he was determined to enter the Water Moon Cave.

But now you're telling him that the magic mirror has long since disappeared.

What about all those years of waiting and all that effort he's put in all this time?
Now that they are high in the sky, facing the prospect of being thrown to their deaths, what does it matter?
He was panicked and disoriented.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the depths of his soul, directly interrupting Yin Zhong's panic.

The excruciating pain caused his entire body to convulse and spasm, making him completely unable to control his inner energy. In an instant, he lost his dragon form and reverted to human form. Upon seeing this, Tong Bo also instantly transformed back into human form, but a weary yet relieved smile appeared on his face.

"You! You were just...you were stalling for time?!"

Upon seeing that smile, Yin Zhong had a sudden realization and instantly understood why Tong Bo, who had been silent just moments before, had suddenly started talking to him about these things.

It turned out that he knew his true energy was about to be exhausted and he could no longer maintain the dragon form, but he also knew that Yin Zhong could last longer than him. Therefore, he deliberately brought up this matter to make Yin Zhong panic and lose his composure.

To prevent Yin Zhong from seizing the only flaw in this plan and surviving.

As it turned out, the Spirit Mirror was indeed the thing Yin Zhong cared about most.

Upon learning of this, he was immediately overwhelmed by the news, causing him to miss his only chance to survive.

After realizing this, Yin Zhong's anger vanished, and instead, a sense of joy arose in his heart.

If this was Tong Bo's scheme, then it means that he was very likely lying.

This matter is very likely false.

The Spirit Mirror is located in the Water Moon Cave Heaven; it's impossible for it to disappear on its own!
For a moment, Yin Zhong forgot that he was falling rapidly and would soon die from the crash, and hurriedly asked, "You're lying to me! The Spirit Mirror is still in the Water Moon Cave, right! Right!"

Unfortunately, after losing their dragon forms, the two fell from the sky together.

At the same time, due to the difference between the dragon form and the human form, the two people were separated after transforming into human form.

We were plummeting wildly, with the wind whistling all around us.

The sounds that came out of the mouth were greatly weakened.

Tong Bo could only hear the other person's voice, but he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

However, even if he could hear him clearly, he wouldn't respond.

The plan has been a complete success.

Why bother with such trivial matters?

At an altitude of several thousand meters, the two took more than ten minutes to reach their destination due to Yin Zhong's fierce resistance.

But during the descent, the ground was already right in front of us in less than a minute.

"Little Lord!"

"Big brother!"

On the ground, Longpo and Tongzhan looked up at the sky.

Upon seeing Tong Bo's falling figure, they all turned pale and quickly used their lightness skills to chase after him.

Although they knew that with their limited resources, they had virtually no solution to this situation.

It is likely that only a Grandmaster-level expert could unleash martial intent and gather the power of heaven and earth to catch someone falling from a height of several thousand meters.

You must also pay special attention to the methods and approaches, otherwise even if you manage to catch it, you'll still be doomed.

Right now, there are clearly no Grandmaster-level experts here.

It seems that Tong Bo is doomed.

But before that, he did something extremely crucial and correct.

That was when he was transforming into a dragon, he bit the Whirlwind Sword with his mouth.

Although Tong Bo had exhausted all his true energy and had almost no strength left, the sword spirit still existed within the Whirlwind Sword.

At this moment, the sword spirit unleashed its power, suddenly releasing whirlwinds that enveloped Tong Bo's body, resisting the force of his fall and slowing his descent.

Then, carried by the strong wind, it slowly drifted down.

The two women, Long Po and Tong Zhan, who had already approached, thought they would witness Tong Bo's death. But when they saw this scene, they were overjoyed and rushed over to check on Tong Bo to see if he was injured.

But then they started blaming others.

It's his fault for acting too rashly.

Tong Bo could only obediently accept it.

Where is Yin Zhong?

"I don't know. We were so focused on chasing after you that we didn't have time to think about Yin Zhong. Perhaps Master Yin has been concerned about it all along."

The three returned to the frozen lake and questioned Yin Hao.

Yin Hao said with a smile, "Yin Zhong didn't have such a divine sword as you, young hero. He would probably have already fallen to his death."

He didn't actually see it.

Although Yin Zhong and Tong Bo fell from the same position, the distance between them increased due to air resistance or other factors, and by the time they were close to landing, there was a gap of several hundred meters.

Moreover, Yin Zhong fell towards the other side of the mountain, blocked by the mountain peaks, so Yin Hao naturally did not see the last scene of Yin Zhong's fall.

Upon hearing this, Tong Bo immediately had a bad feeling.

"We need to find the person, whether alive or dead; it's better to keep looking."

"Ah."

Yin Hao nodded, indicating his agreement.

Once the frozen lake melted and the Iron Guards were freed, he began his search.

However, thousands of people searched in the direction where Yin Zhong fell, but after searching for 1,500 meters, they still could not find his body.

This result immediately darkened everyone's expression.

"Falling from a height of several thousand meters and not dying? Is that even human?"

Yin Tianchou couldn't help but speak up.

Yin Tianxue said, "He...is indeed not human..."

Tong Bo clapped his hands and said, "Alright, although Yin Zhong didn't die in the end, we still won this time."

Moreover, we are all aware of Yin Zhong's condition; his injuries are extremely serious and could flare up at any moment. If we were to meet again, even without these tactics, he would still be no match for us!
"Master Yin, you must guard the underground city well. The mercury pool there is crucial for Yin Zhong's healing. It would be best to destroy it completely!"

Yin Hao nodded immediately: "Once I get back, I will destroy the mercury pool and fill in the entire underground city!"

Tong Bo said, "In that case, when Yin Zhong appears, not to mention the Master, my mother-in-law and I, even you might be able to defeat him."

Tong Zhan laughed and said, "If that day ever comes, I'll definitely give him a good beating!"

His words eased the tension in everyone's hearts.

Next, the most important thing for Tong Bo and the others was naturally to return to Shuiyue Cave and break the ice seal.

But this would probably require another Blood Ruyi and the Heart of Blood Ruyi.

Tong Bo then invited everyone to enter the Water Moon Cave.

Yin Hao replied, "The Tong clan lives in seclusion here and does not communicate with the outside world. Since that's the case, how could I easily break the rules? Young Hero Tong, I'll leave these two items to you for now. You can return them to me after you've finished your business."

"The owner of the village..."

"No need to say more, I believe you."

"Thank you, Master!"

Thus, only the three Tong brothers and Yinxiu returned to Shuiyue Cave.

Even the patriarch didn't come along.

The frozen Shuiyue Cave Heaven left the group with many mixed feelings.

Returning to the spot where the Blood Ruyi had shattered, they took out another Blood Ruyi and the Heart of the Blood Ruyi. Before they could even do anything, the extreme cold energy between heaven and earth suddenly returned and condensed into a Blood Ruyi in front of them.

At the same time, the entire ice covering the Water Moon Cave disappeared.

Everything has returned to how it was before.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Tong Bo retrieved the two Blood Ruyi, especially the one that had just recovered, its eyes somewhat vacant.

"Is this blood-red ruyi scepter real or fake?"
