World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

"Yizhi, can you lure some of Lin Qing's men over here by playing the role of a traitor?" Standing on the city wall, Du Ge used the Power of Poseidon to control the water in the moat, creating neat waves. He turned to Zhang Yizhi beside him, "I don't like being passive. We need to nibble away at Lin Qing's 300,000-strong army bit by bit if we want to break the siege of Linyang and turn these towns we've captured into our own..."

"Probably not," Zhang Yizhi replied awkwardly. "I can attract specific people with a hundred percent certainty, but I can't guarantee that others won't be drawn in as well. Of course, if I could fly like a grandmaster, I might be able to filter out some people. But if I did that, I probably wouldn't make it back. And if too many people go, it would be like fighting directly in the enemy's camp."

"Your skill has too many limitations," Du Ge glanced at him and said.

"Imperial Teacher, how powerful can traitor ghosts be? They rely on deception and temptation," Zhang Yizhi smiled bitterly. "I've been thinking about this issue these days. I must have taken the wrong path while following Shi Pingchuan. This skill should pair with a martial route, or like you, Du Ge, find a real big shot to go into politics with. The prime minister and the emperor are also pairs. I don't know when my second skill will come out. It would be great if I could change direction."

"Why don't you try pairing with Ge Zong and play a finishing move style?" Du Ge thought for a moment and suggested a new direction.

"When Ge Zong uses his skill, the people around him are uncontrollably affected. How can I pair with him?" Zhang Yizhi muttered, then looked at Du Ge with a flattering smile, "Imperial Teacher, why don't I pair with you? You fight, and I finish them off..."

Du Ge didn't respond but instead looked into the distant sky, his eyes widening, "Damn, I haven't even gone to lure the enemy yet, and they're already trying to tempt me? Do they really think I'm an easy target?"

"What?"

Zhang Yizhi looked into the distant sky but saw nothing due to his attributes.

Before he could react, Du Ge had already jumped off the city wall, heading straight for the camp below, shouting as he ran, "Old Cao, Imperial Teacher, Ge Zong, Xiang Li... come out and face the enemy!"

When not in battle, Cao Lin and the others were busy cultivating, but upon hearing Du Ge's call, they all rushed out immediately.

Then.

Cao Lin and the Imperial Teacher reflexively jumped away from Xiang Li and Ge Zong, as if avoiding two plagues.

...

Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun moved extremely fast, arriving above Du Ge's camp in an instant.

Then.

An extremely arrogant voice rang out in the air, "Leng Shi, you coward, come and fight me!"

Du Ge looked up at the sky and locked eyes with Yu Zhang.

The moment he saw that sneaky face, an uncontrollable disgust welled up in his heart. At this moment, he had only one thought: to go over and beat him up, and no one could stop him.

Xiang Li and Ge Zong instinctively tried to activate their skills, but just as they started, a sudden peace washed over them, making it impossible to incite any abnormal or deviant behavior around them.

Their expressions changed drastically, "Du Ge, our skills are suppressed. The enemy must have a skill."

In that moment, Du Ge, Cao Lin, and the Imperial Teacher had already leaped into the sky, heading straight for Yu Zhang.

Huangfu Yue, with a look of disgust in her eyes, also leaped into the air with her long spear.

But as a half-step grandmaster, she couldn't stay airborne. After reaching the peak of her jump, she reluctantly threw her spear and fell back to the ground.

...

The camp was in an uproar, with shouts of "Hit him" and "Hit him" merging into a single voice.

Archers drew their bows and shot arrows into the sky, while many soldiers picked up stones and hurled them in Yu Zhang's direction. Luo Shuang also ran out of the tent, frowning and muttering, "How can there be such disgusting people in the world?"

...

Seeing Du Ge and the others flying straight at him, Cao Lin swung his blade down at Yu Zhang. Yu Zhang quickly patted Niu Jiangsheng on the shoulder, "Old Niu, run, they're catching up."

Without needing a reminder, Niu Jiangsheng had already turned around and headed towards Lin Qing's camp upon seeing Cao Lin.

Being skilled in speed, he wasn't suited for combat. If he were alone, he might easily escape from a martial grandmaster like Cao Lin. But carrying someone, once a martial grandmaster got close, escape would be impossible.

Liu Jun reacted even faster. As soon as Du Ge launched himself, Liu Jun had already run off with Ren Shaorong on his back.

"Imperial Teacher, ahead are Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun. Both are speed specialists. The enemy is prepared," the Imperial Teacher reminded, frowning.

"I know, we've been hit by a skill," Du Ge said, eyes fixed on Yu Zhang ahead. "We must stop them before they reach Lin Qing's camp. There must be traps waiting for us there."

"A skill?"

The Imperial Teacher was stunned and instinctively looked at the ground.

The once orderly camp was now in chaos.

Many soldiers had rushed out of their tents, some on horseback, some using Lightness Skill, all heading straight for Yu Zhang.

Leading the charge was Huangfu Yue, who was leaping and bounding, closely following behind.

The disciplined army was instantly thrown into disarray.

If Lin Qing sent troops to intercept now, it would definitely be an unprecedented defeat. The Imperial Teacher was horrified, "What kind of skill is this?"

"A skill that makes you want to beat him up!" Du Ge said, his eyes never leaving Yu Zhang.

"Exactly, I just want to catch up and beat that sneaky guy to a pulp," Cao Lin said, "There's no one more disgusting in the world."

The Imperial Teacher wanted to stop, but the deep-seated urge to beat up Yu Zhang pulled him forward. His expression changed drastically, "I can't stop myself. The Heavenly Demon's Supernatural Power is truly terrifying."

"It's always been terrifying. Didn't the Imperial Teacher almost lose to Ge Zong back then?" Du Ge said, "General Cao knew it was more advantageous for me by the water, but he was still lured to Yangjiang by Zhang Yizhi."

Cao Lin glanced down, his expression stern, "Imperial Teacher, if we don't eliminate this guy, we're done for."

"We can't catch up! If only there were a body of water," Du Ge sighed. He had tried his newly mastered martial arts, but controlling air wasn't the same as the innate Power of Poseidon. His air cannon couldn't reach that far.

"Even you have no solution?" the Imperial Teacher asked.

"I do," Du Ge nodded.

"What is it?" Cao Lin asked.

"Wait," Du Ge said confidently.

"Wait?" the Imperial Teacher and Cao Lin said in unison.

"Yes, today's star alignment is in our favor. We'll turn misfortune into fortune and encounter good luck. Those who oppose us will face all sorts of mishaps," Du Ge said. "I'll show them what it means to go with the flow and how human plans can't beat divine will."

...

Cao Lin and the Imperial Teacher fell silent.

The Imperial Teacher glanced at Du Ge, unsure where his confidence came from. A person's fortune involves many factors. Even when he observed the stars, they constantly changed. The female star's brightness fluctuated with Du Ge's decisions. How could he be so sure that fate would be on their side?

But just as Du Ge finished speaking.

Three figures suddenly soared from the mountain peak opposite. A blade light, a sword aura, and a palm imprint enveloped Yu Zhang and Niu Jiangsheng without warning.

Caught off guard, Niu Jiangsheng could only shift slightly, avoiding the more lethal blade light and sword aura, but taking a direct hit from the palm imprint on his chest.

He spat out blood and, with Yu Zhang on his back, fell into the valley.

The three attackers relentlessly pursued, their blade light and sword aura striking again, chasing after Yu Zhang.

The Imperial Teacher and Cao Lin's eyes widened.

What was going on?

Who were these three grandmasters that suddenly appeared?

Did Du Ge's prediction come true?

Turning misfortune into fortune, encountering good luck?

"Opportunity!" Du Ge, with his high attributes, reacted the fastest.

He didn't care who the three attackers were. Seeing Yu Zhang fall, he dashed forward. As soon as Niu Jiangsheng and Liu Jun entered his attack range, he unleashed his Seven-Orifice Touch at Yu Zhang, then at Liu Jun carrying Ren Shaorong.

Du Ge didn't know what Ren Shaorong's skill was, but he knew to shoot the horse first.

Niu Jiangsheng was already down. If he took out Liu Jun carrying Ren Shaorong, that old lady wouldn't be able to escape.

Ah~!

Ah~!

The air cannon's Seven-Orifice Touch was unstoppable, eliciting two short cries.

Yu Zhang, carried by Niu Jiangsheng, couldn't show his expression.

But Liu Jun's eyes bulged, his legs clamped tight. He tried to turn and flee, but the second Seven-Orifice Touch entered his nine orifices, the internal pain causing his true energy to dissipate, and he too fell into the valley.
