Chapter 495 - Mount Shu, Danchenzi
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The black energy immediately covered the entire county.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
Some soldiers tried to fend it off with their shields or attack it with weapons, but the ghost soldiers were intangible, and the arrows and bullets only went through them without causing any damage. Some soldiers fell to the ground and screamed as soon as they made contact with the ghost soldiers.
They rose to their feet in a few seconds, but their eyes went blank and jumped at other people like walking corpses.
“You devil! I won’t allow this!”
With that, another person ran out of the same building as Dian Wei did.
He wore metallic black armor, and like Zhang Yan, he also had a pair of wings on his back.
However, his wings were formed by a great number of sharp silver-gray blades and looked similar to Ji Ye’s Sun Sword Wings.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
When he flew into the air, his blade wings spread out and shot flying daggers at the ghost soldiers.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
All the blades were covered by purple lightning.
As soon as they hit the ghost soldiers, they turned the creatures into smoke.
[Danchenzi]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-1]
[Rarity: Commander]
[Description: The most senior pupil of Mount Shu. His master was Master White Brow, and he wielded Heavenly Dragon, the most formidable weapon of Mount Shu, to destroy demons.]
Dragon City had turned Guobei County and the yaksha territory into new sub-settlements.
Meanwhile, they had also transformed two new backgrounds with the Book of Civilization. The one Guobei County obtained was the Story of Mount Shu.
The first Transcendent hero they summoned was Danchenzi, the most senior pupil of the sect.
He came from Legend of Mount Shu Swordsman, the most famous oriental-style fantasy novel. Although he wasn’t Perfect, judging by the ability he showed when he fought against Zhang Yan, Danchenzi’s combat capability was about the same level as Li Yuanba.
“Commander Dian, I’m here to give you a hand!” Danchenzi said loudly after destroying the ghost soldiers in the black smoke. The metal blades flew back to him and turned back to a pair of spinning wings. Together with Dian Wei, he charged at Zhang Yan, the zombie king.
Boom, boom, boom…
On the city wall that had been half-destroyed, metals crashed into each other while thunder rumbled.
The formidable energy made zombies of the Yellow Turban Army backed away.
Boom!
However, even with two Transcendent Rank-1 heroes fighting alongside each other, they still couldn’t completely suppress the zombie king, Zhang Yan.
After all, the difference between ranks in the Transcendent level was significant.
Even with a difference of only one rank, it would give the superior side many advantages.
Roar! Roar!
However, Dragon City did not lack heroes.
Seeing that the two heroes were losing their ground, another figure ran out of the same building. He wore a black windbreaker and leaped into the air like an eagle.
A western dragon bellowed twice, and two balls of white fire the size of a head hit Zhang Yan before they exploded. The dragon flame devoured the zombie king.
“Guys, I’d like to know what a Transcendent Rank-2 being feels like as well!”
Yan Shuangying had a dauntless look in his eyes.
The guns in his hands each had a red dragon head on them, and that was where the dragon breath bombs came from.
They contained Transcendent-level power, and even Zhang Yan couldn’t remain unscratched.
Boom, boom, boom…
The three Transcendent heroes went on attacking Zhang Yan. One was a Transcendent fighter, one was the brilliant pupil of a cultivation sect, and the other one was a gun specialist who was only partly human. Although the zombie king was higher in his rank, he still began to lose his ground.
He was only able to withstand the attack because of his tough zombie body.
Recently, Dragon City used the resources and rewards they obtained from the two settlements and made great improvements to the technology and the strength of the members.
Over ten heroes had reached the Transcendent level.
Therefore, the management team wasn’t concerned over a single Transcendent Rank-2 being.
The real troublesome factor of this battle was Old Demon Black Mountain, the creature that could change Zhang Yan and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers into zombies.
Boom!
As the four Transcendent heroes fought in the east side of Guobei County, the aftereffect of their battle destroyed rows upon rows of houses.
But it wasn’t nearly as destructive as what was happening on the west side.
In the sky that was lit by the suspended flare, an enormous shadow appeared to the southwest of Guobei County. It towered over the county.
A gust of sinister wind blew over, and the black smoke rose. Green ghost flames appeared, accompanied by continuous screaming.
It was as if hell had been released onto Earth.
Of course, it wasn’t the real hell but a huge black mountain moving toward Guobei County. It was one of the 72 Earthly Spirits techniques—Move Mountain.
“What kind of a monster is this Old Demon Black Mountain? How can it move such a big mountain?”
Zhou Yu was in the building where the three Transcendent heroes came out of and looked confused as he watched the enemy on the screen.
“Old Demon Black Mountain was probably already Transcendent Rank-2, but it’s likely Transcendent Rank-3 now!”
The look on Li Qing’s face was quite grave when he saw the data on the screen of the radar.
He had reason to reach that conclusion. Old Demon Black Mountain was more capable than Granny Tree Demon and was most likely Transcendent Rank-2 in the beginning. It had been a while since then, so it was only natural that it would make some advancement with the resources it obtained in the Land of Inheritance.
Of course, Old Demon Black Mountain alone probably couldn’t move such an enormous mountain even if this Black Mountain was its original form.
It could do such a thing because over 10,000 ghost soldiers were there to help it. A radar in the building had picked up the existence of these soldiers.
They formed an array and enhanced Old Demon Black Mountain’s power. That way, it was able to move the mountain.
If one were to treat the Black Mountain as a heavy treasure, it would be above the level of the Feng Shui formation.
“We need to stop it.
“If Black Mountain gets too close, it’ll destroy all our plans simply by landing on Guobei County.”
When Zhou Yu flapped his red feather fan, sparks rose from his robe.
Compared with the zombie army, the mountain that was the size of a city was much harder to deal with.
It was nearly 1,000m tall and covered an area of over ten square kilometers.
Ordinary bullets or bombs wouldn’t affect it at all.
Even when they shot a few Transcendent-level high-tech missiles built with Red Alert technology into the rolling smoke around the mountain, the missiles were devoured without making a sound.
Luckily, Dragon City was no ordinary settlement.
Hum!
When Black Mountain was within 5km from Guobei County, a golden light rose out of the county, revealing a Bodhisattva with six arms and three faces.
It was none other than the Gatling Bodhisattva operated by Lu Zhishen.
But now, it was over 15m tall, and the gun barrels in its six arms were as thick as saucers.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The next second, Pure Sensation Depleted Uranium Bombs that had significantly increased in size flew out of Guobei County, turned into a web of golden Buddha Light, and charged at the Black Mountain moving toward the county.
