Chapter 375 - Transcendent Power of Wang Qing’s Army
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Apart from Elder Jiao and Elder Meng, the two renowned non-combative masters, there was also a native master on the battlefield.
“Gosh. My herbs. You’ve ruined them all. I know I can’t take them with me, but it doesn’t mean that you should eat them raw… What a waste.”
An Daoquan had a green herb hoe in one hand and a black Miasma Gourd in the other.
He complained loudly as he released the Deluding Gas that could cause serious hallucination.
Because Wang Qing’s army was like a swarm of locusts. As they marched, they would dig out plants they found special and take them away.
Probably just like Fang La’s soldiers, they had seen miraculous plants and fruits in the seven days they had been in the Land of Inheritance, and the herb garden next to the Snake Monkey Island was the most severely damaged. Things like the glossy ganoderma or ginseng, which couldn’t be easily relocated, became the victims.
“Go! Go!”
An Daoquan was a doctor who saved lives, but when he was angry, he could be very efficient in taking lives.
After some further adjustment, the Miasma Gourd had reached the Perfect level and the miasma was named “Deluding Dragon Gas” after the fashion of the Twin Dragon Island. As the name suggested, it could even confuse dragons. An Daoquan had just poured it into the battlefield.
“Attack!”
“Die!”
Nearly a thousand Wang Qing’s soldiers had been attacking the line of defense, and the hallucination made them suddenly turn against one another, attacking their fellow soldiers. Before they knew it, hundreds of them were dead.
“What’s going on here?”
“Zhao Wu, have you lost your mind?”
“Something’s wrong!”
However, not everyone was affected by the Deluding Dragon Gas.
“Roar!”
In Wang Qing’s army, illusionary beasts such as tigers or leopards rose out of the bodies of the members with Extraordinary level or above, neutralizing the hallucinatory toxin.
The “Four Major Bandits” that participated in the advancement test this time all had some type of transcendent power, such as the Sacred Fire of Fang La’s army, the war flags of the Liao kingdom, and the Tiger Leopard Aura of Wang Qing’s army. So far, the ability of Tian Hu’s army was the only one that remained unclear.
The ability of Wang Qing’s army that was named “Tiger Leopard Aura” by Elder Meng provided them with incredible defense power.
Dhak! Dhak! Dhak!
One of the Extraordinary Rank-4 Liao officials had a leopard over his head.
The defending troop up on the Eagle Peak unleashed hundreds of bullets from several machine guns, but he only had a few scratches.
Those bullets were supposed to be able to kill Extraordinary Rank-6 beings!
Moreover, the strength of the Tiger Leopard Aura didn’t seem to be related to individual capability. Rather, it was linked to the relative superiority of their official position.
For instance, those with a tiger above their heads were mostly first- and second-rank officials, while assistant generals that were fifth- or sixth-rank officials all had leopards.
As for the third- and fourth-rank generals, they had a beast called “Biao” over their heads.
It was said that a tiger would only give birth to two cubs at one time, but on some very rare occasions, there would be three.
Because of the lack of nutrition, the third one would usually be very thin and weak. It would have yellow fur but without the signature tiger stripes. The mother tiger would soon abandon it and leave it in the wild where all sorts of ferocious beasts roamed.
If the cub managed to survive on its own, it would be more savage than the cubs raised by the mother. Such a beast was called “Biao”.
All officials in Wang Qing’s army had the Tiger Leopard Aura around them.
As a result, An Daoquan’s Deluding Dragon Gas only affected the rest of the soldiers.
The aura also blocked the bullets, enabling the officers to charge at the line of defense of the Twin Dragon Island.
Boom!
An Extraordinary Rank-8 general from Wang Qing’s army with a tiger over his head had eyes the size of saucers and a ferocious look on his face. Wielding a heavy weapon that looked like a combination of an axe and a hammer, he made a three-meter-long gash in the fortification that was as hard as granite with a single blow.
Immediately after that, two assistant generals with leopards marched toward the fortification.
Roar!
However, before the three of them could enter, there was an angry roar, and a strong blue lion showed up, forcing the tiger back.
A stoic-looking hero blocked the gap. His long hair danced wildly in the wind, reminding one of a lion’s mane.
It was none other than Shi Shugang, the Blue Armor Lion, whose weapon was a pair of heavy battleaxes.
“You’ll have to pass my trunk before you touch the settlement core!”
Shi the Fourth, the Mighty Elephant, struck down with his elephant-trunk-shaped frost iron weapon, crushing one of the assistant generals’ chest and sending him back by over 10m.
“You have the power of tigers and leopards?
“What do you think of my power of apes?”
Meanwhile, Shi Mengjie, the Eight-Armed Monkey, swiftly struck with his pair of judge’s brushes, aiming at the other assistant generals’ eyes and throat.
Of the five Shi brothers, three had arrived at the Twin Dragon Island. On the island, the Beast Blood Guard, which was the troop they led, was second to the Yue Army in terms of size.
“Roar…”
When men of Wang Qing’s army charged out with their Tiger Leopard Aura, the Beast Blood Guards also activated their Beast Powers that came from lions, bears, elephants, or apes. The two sides clashed with each other and fought ferociously.
Because of the beast blood that had been fused into their bodies, each guard had the strength of an Ordinary Rank-9 warrior. When the beast blood was activated, they felt no pain and could fight in a savage manner.
With the Beast Armor that was specially designed for them, they were able to stop Wang Qing’s army from advancing further.
In the Battlefield of Providence, all four kings of Yuan had their own special force.
The east had the Shadow Assassin, the north had the Water Demon, the west had the Beast Blood Battalion, while the south had the Divine Arms.
Boom!
An Ordinary Rank-7 player had something that looked like an exoskeleton weapon around his arm. Black smoke was rising from it.
He smashed down, shattering the Tiger Leopard Aura around an Extraordinary Rank-2 elite soldier from Wang Qing’s army, who had jumped onto the fortification and was ready to kill. The impact sent the man flying.
Unlike the three other kings, the South King of Yuan died in the siege of dozens of Southwest Province settlements.
Because of that, the Twin Dragon Island only had two sets of the Divine Arms as a reward.
Thanks to Ji Ye’s Fusion talent, he was able to figure out the structure and materials of the two sets. Using the resources on the Twin Dragon Island as substitutes, they were able to build hundreds of Extraordinary Rank-4 “Divine Arms”.
With them, even Ordinary soldiers could fight against the Extraordinary soldiers from Wang Qing’s army.
“Quickly, seal the gap!”
Meanwhile, non-combative personnel came out. They used the Water Fire Sand, which would quickly expand and solidify when water was poured on top of it, to mend the fortification that had been damaged by Wang Qing’s army.
Because of that, even with their Tiger Leopard Aura, Wang Qing’s army still couldn’t break the defense outside Eagle Peak.
However, technically speaking, Tiger Leopard Aura wasn’t an accurate name.
When the ancient people named their sons, the correct sequence of the characters they used was “Tiger”, “Biao”, and “Leopard”. But “Tiger” wasn’t the first one in this sequence.
That place belonged to “Dragon”!
