Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2773

1286: Eternal Pain

Zuan: “…”

But he didn’t really have any objection to this. The so-called martial arts masters of this world still had a very rudimentary understanding of energy.

Take himself, for example. Recalling the internal skills of the Quanzhen Sect, Peach Blossom Island, and the Beggars’ Sect that Guo Polu had mastered, he grasped them almost instantly, and could even call upon them with even greater efficiency.

As for the external skills, it went without saying. He could almost identify the flaws in each one with a single mental review. Moreover, he could still use the skills he already knew. While some were weakened to the point of being unsightly without the support of various energies, that was more than enough in this world.

After all, this world only banned supernatural abilities, not their memory or judgment.

Even the Nine Yin Manual, the world’s most advanced secret manual, wasn’t difficult to understand. Guo Jing and Huang Rong thought he couldn’t cultivate it with his current abilities, but in reality, he grasped a rough understanding after careful consideration.

Compared to other martial arts in this world, the Nine Yin Manual was indeed far more sophisticated.

To a certain extent, the techniques had even reached a certain level of sophistication, and he had already made great strides in this world.

Unfortunately, limited to this world, lacking the vital energy and spiritual energy needed for cultivation, they were destined

to fail in their quest for immortality. To those at a higher level, this was like elementary school math. No matter how sophisticated the techniques, there were often more advanced and simpler solutions. Looking across the universe, this manual would be considered inferior.

But it wasn’t completely useless. In this special world, all supernatural abilities were forbidden, and many advanced methods were unavailable. Only the techniques and methods found in the Nine Yin Manual could achieve some results.

Yanhua’s realm surpassed his, and she was undoubtedly more adept at understanding and modifying the techniques.

Now that the two of them had joined forces, unless they impulsively charged into the vast enemy camp, there was generally no danger.

However, fears were often met with repercussions. Yanhua suddenly, without a word, decided to investigate the Mongol camp.

Fearing for his safety, Zuan hurriedly followed.

With their combined strength, infiltrating the camp was easy enough. They eventually reached a sentry tower, eliminated the guards, and carefully observed the entire camp.

Finally, she shook her head helplessly. “If these Mongol generals were in their normal residences, I’d kill them like chickens. But in a military camp, even if I took the risk of assassinating them, I’d be besieged and killed by the troops that arrived after hearing the news.”

She wanted to quickly resolve the problems facing the Guo family and even the Song Dynasty in this world, but if it meant sacrificing her own life, she wasn’t so chaste.

“Don’t let your guard down. Back then, several of this world’s top Five Supremes were discovered in the military camp and nearly beaten to death by the Mongol army.” If Zuan and Yanhua were at their normal strength, these armies would certainly be no match for them, but under the rules of today’s world, they couldn’t force their way through them.

“How much more have you left to tell me, bro?” Yanhua couldn’t help but glare at him. She’d previously discussed their cooperation, and he’d given her a general overview of this world. She hadn’t expected him to reveal yet another piece of unknown information.

“It’s not that I’m deliberately hiding it; it’s this very situation that triggered my memories. You know, for people like us, we’ve experienced so many worlds and so many things, it’s normal for us to have incomplete memories of early events.” The two of them were hiding in the observation tower, afraid of being exposed, so close they spoke, even feeling each other’s breath.

Zuan’s heart stirred at the faint, almost subtle fragrance of the other’s scent.

But then he immediately reflected: She’s a spider spirit, what are you thinking?

“Your eyes are strange right now,” Yanhua frowned. The loss of her supernatural powers was truly unaccustomed; otherwise, she would have sensed her thoughts by now.

Zuan coughed softly, “Let’s retreat first. Finding the Black Iron Sword is more important.”

Yanhua ignored him, a sudden thought forming: “Do you think if we assassinate the Mongol Khan, wouldn’t we have to carry out the Heavenly Sword Slaying Plan? Would that count as passing the test?”

With her knowledge, she naturally felt that the “Heavenly Sword Slaying Plan” was somewhat ominous, and it would be best if she could avoid it.

Zuan was startled. “Don’t act rashly. Our fate lies in Mongolia now. Countless talented individuals have defected to the Mongol Khan. He’ll be surrounded by experts by that point. Even if you and I join forces, we’ll likely die.”

Yanhua snorted, “Coward!”

Then, she kicked open the arrow embrasures before her, sending the sentries plummeting like broken sandbags.

Zuan: “???”

Such a commotion couldn’t be hidden from the barracks. The entire camp erupted in chaos, and scores of soldiers rushed in.

Yanhua, fearless, leaped down with a dashing presence and engaged the soldiers directly.

While Zuan didn’t quite understand her deliberate, suicidal behavior, he had to admit that she now possessed a uniquely heroic aura, like a rose blooming on the battlefield.

Previously, Yanhua had appeared around him more as a little girl, but this might be her true nature.

She now exuded a temperament more like Yalun, fearless and heroic.

Without time to sigh, Zuan joined the fray.

The soldiers piled up, but the two men were truly remarkable. Though their extraordinary abilities were sealed, their vision and skill far surpassed those of even the Five Supremes of this world. They possessed a natural rapport, constantly managing to protect each other from unforeseen dangers.

Ultimately, they forced their way through the camp before the Mongol forces could fully assemble, surviving with unstoppable force.

The encounter horrified the Mongol soldiers, and the commander hurriedly wrote letters to report the incident.

Zuan and Yanhua fled to a stream. Though unmatched in their military prowess, they were still hampered by the limitations of this world, bearing numerous wounds.

As Yanhua cleaned her wounds, Zuan couldn’t help but grumble, “What the hell just happened? We could have escaped quietly.”

Given their abilities, they had gathered intelligence within the camp and could have easily escaped without alerting anyone. Instead, the enemy had simply knocked down the sentry post, deliberately drawing the Mongol soldiers’ attention.

“You know what?” Fireworks scoffed. “Do you know what the first thing a top-tier beast does when it arrives in a completely different environment?”

Zuan seemed to understand, but Fireworks continued, “Of course, it fights every animal in its new environment. Only then will it understand its place in that new environment.”

Although Zuan had given her a general overview of this world, explaining the stratification of masters, with the Five Supremes at the top, it was all too vague, far less effective than a fight of her own.

She had originally planned to fight Guo Jing, but since he was her “father,” a bad beating would easily arouse suspicion among those close to her, exposing her true identity.

So she sought out the strongest Mongols, experiencing their own strength firsthand, and gaining a rough understanding of her niche in this world.

Zuan looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes: “Your way of thinking now is almost like that of a beast, but you were clearly a human before. What happened to make you become like this?”

Hearing this, the originally calm Fireworks’ face suddenly turned violent. She appeared beside him in a flash, grabbed his neck and asked viciously: “Stinky boy, how did you know this!

“
