Chapter 272 - One Versus One Million
Faced with the bloodthirsty Beast Blood Guards who were charging at him with bloodshot eyes, the black-armored hero showed no reaction.
Short and slim, he simply stood where he was with the golden hammers in his hands as if he had been pinned to the ground.
“Why is he not moving? Since he’s outnumbered, shouldn’t his only strategy be to go straight at the enemy’s commander?”
“If he’s surrounded, he will have to endure infinite attacks until he’s exhausted to death.”
“Damn, is it possible that this hero is from a foreign land, and he accepted our summoning just to waste our power of providence?”
The newcomers who were excited about the poetic announcement became anxious again.
Zhao Yun completed the one versus thousand challenge because he chose to charge at the East King of Yuan at the beginning of the battle. He performed a decapitation with his Power of Dragon Valiance and his magnificent horse!
That was pretty much the only solution.
Yet the short, slim, and black-armored hero didn’t show any intent of attack or decapitation. What was he going to do?
Roar!
The answer would soon be revealed as to what the black-armored hero was up to.
The two parties were no more than a hundred meters from each other; a distance that one could cross in several seconds even without a horse.
The fastest one was the Beast Blood Guard who had been accelerated by the Leopard Blood. The moment he reached the black-armored hero, he waved his hands that were wearing iron-made claws and attacked the hero’s throat and chest!
His Leopard Blood not only increased his speed but also strengthened his arms. He also had a pair of iron claws. Even the tempered steel would be left with holes if he attacked it.
As long as he snatched the vitals of this human hero from the alternate dimension, the hero would be heavily wounded or even killed!
Clang!
However, the claws of the Leopard Blood guard failed to hit the target, because a golden hammer that looked even bigger than his head quickly enlarged in his eyes and shattered the iron claw the moment they collided.
After that, it was a torrential force. As if it had just squashed some cotton, the force from the golden armor continued surging towards his wrist, arm, shoulder, and chest…
Pop! Crackle!
As his bones cracked and his muscles exploded and deformed, the Leopard Blood soldier who attacked first was flung back with blood spluttering out of his body even faster than when he charged.
Boom!
Like a car that had lost control, he crashed into a dozen Beast Blood soldiers that were behind him, causing quite a mess.
Crack!
The two Leopard Blood soldiers who were directly hit by his body even had broken arms due to the collision. It was obvious how powerful that hammer was.
“Roar!”
A Beast Blood Guard, who was close behind the Leopard Blood guard and famous for his explosive power, leaped over the chaotic crowd while he was running and lunged at the black-armored hero from midair, smashing his clenched fists that were wearing a pair of knuckles at the hero’s obscure face.
Whoosh!
However, before his fists could smash the target, a golden hammer that looked extremely heavy had already smashed his head. It was so fast that it was as if it were a light weapon such as a dagger or a short sword.
Pew!
The Tiger Blood guard’s head was broken apart in midair, and his body soared more than twenty meters, before he finally fell in a rain of blood.
“Heh… You’re so weak and boring!”
The black-armored hero, who was holding the bloodstained hammers with his iron arms, had a lazy expression. He looked at the enemies who were charging at him like wolves and let out a rather juvenile voice.
“Roar, roar…”
The other hundreds of Beast Blood Guards had already charged close with bloodshot eyes. They roared like animals and surrounded him in a large circle!
“He’s really standing there and waiting to be surrounded… Wait a moment, he’s not planning to kill all those Yuan soldiers and win without using any tricks, is he?”
“That’s probably his plan…”
“How is it possible? Those people are all Extraordinary. Since the hero can’t be stronger than Extraordinary Rank-7 and his Transcendent power is restrained, it may be possible for him to kill several dozen enemies, but it’s beyond the level of Extraordinary to kill all of them!”
Seeing that, the core players in the Temple of Providence discussed with each other.
“I don’t think regular Transcendent heroes, or even Legendary heroes, can do that.”
“However, it’s totally possible for him to do that!”
Ji Ye, who had been staring at the battlefield while he listened to the poetic announcement from the Temple of Providence, had glittering eyes.
“At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world fell into chaos because of eighteen rebels. The golden eagle flapped its wing and was born into the Li family in Taiyuan…
From the new verse, he had realized the identity of the Transcendent hero who was attempting to arrive just like Elder Meng and Elder Zhou did.
The end of the Sui Dynasty, eighteen rebels, the Li family from Taiyuan, the eagle with golden wings…
There was only one hero who met all those descriptions!
“According to novels and ballads, the Gold-Winged Eagle was reincarnated several times. Its first life was Zhang Fei, its third life was Yue Fei, and its second life was Li Yuanba, the best warrior in Sui and Tang!”
At this moment, Elder Meng was explaining to others who the slim hero was.
Li Yuanba was exactly the hero who had the greatest physical force in all historical novels!
“Wait a moment, this doesn’t look right.”
“Based on Li Yuanba’s achievements, he shouldn’t be just Transcendent but Legendary, shouldn’t he?”
Guo Wei, who was wearing a pair of high-tech glasses, was rather confused.
“Legendary? Isn’t Li Yuanba just a top general? Also, he never existed in real history. He’s a fictional figure like the heroes from Water Margin. It’s already good enough that he’s Perfect Transcendent. How can he be Legendary?”
Wu Qiao was more or less confused.
It must be noted that the heroes from Water Margin such as Wu Song and Lu Zhishen were merely Extraordinary. In terms of popularity and influence, Li Yuanba wasn’t even as good as them.
It would’ve been good enough if he were Transcendent. How could he be Legendary?
“Indeed. The heroes from Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties will be no stronger than Extraordinary without considering the real history. The most renowned heroes in the book could only be Transcendent at best!
“However, Li Yuanba is different.
“In the book, he once fought 1,850,000 enemies on his own in the book. With one horse and two hammers, he reduced the number of the enemies to 650,000 after a night of fighting!”
Looking at the black-armored hero who was fighting five hundred Beast Blood Guards on his own, Ji Ye said unhurriedly.
