“Oh no! Chief Cao, watch out!”

“Stop that web!”

Players with sharp eyes immediately noticed the colorful web. They charged at it with their weapons raised and tried to tear it apart.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

However, no matter what weapons they used, they seemed to hit a wall of cotton. Their force immediately disappeared, and the blades did minimal damage to the thin web.

“Oh no!”

When they tried to raise their weapons to make another strike, they realized in astonishment that the weapons were stuck to the web.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The loose strings from the tears made by the blades immediately ran down the weapons and stuck into the soldiers’ arms.

They controlled the soldiers’ bodies and made them raise their weapons at the people around them.

“I’m losing control over my body! Get out of the way!” some players cried out.

Although the controlled soldiers tried to warn the others, the fact that the web covered such a great area meant that the soldiers in the middle section had no room to maneuver. Immediately, over a hundred people were attacked by the strings.

Humans used to catch fish with webs, but things had turned around today. The soldiers caught by the strings were struggling helplessly inside the web.

They were even manipulated to attack those who hadn’t been caught.

More importantly, the center of the web was heading for Cao Cao.

Once the Legendary hero was under the merman’s control, things would soon fall apart on the east side.

“Qiao Daoqing… you’re a true hero!”

Although Cao Cao had thrown away his armor and cut off his beard in the real world when he was pursued by Ma Chao, here in Dragon City, he had enough confidence to face the alien race. His red cape flapped, and his small eyes glinted. He then spoke another name.

“Crows, come out!”

On his left, energy suddenly rose from Qiao Daoqing, who chanted in a cold voice.

He then threw his Illusion Fan into the air.

“Caw, caw…”

The fan immediately turned into a great number of crows. They cawed, flew toward the net, and pulled it with their beaks and claws.

The strings controlled creatures by entering their nervous system, but the crows were creatures formed by Daoist skills with no natural life. Of course, the strings wouldn’t work on them.

Because of that, they immediately stopped the web from pushing forward.

Splash!

However, the mermen had more than one Transcendent member.

Seeing Qiao Daoqing’s skill, the giant manta the merman rode also reacted and flapped its “fins”.

Immediately, purple lightning shot out of its football-sized speckles, accurately hitting some of the crows that were pecking at the strings.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Immediately, the crows exploded.

Pew!

Qiao Daoqing spat out a mouthful of blood.

All the crows were created by Daoist skills and belonged to the Illusion Fan that was connected to his spirit. When they were damaged, he would suffer from injuries as well.

As a villain-turned-hero, he was confined by his fame and popularity and was still stuck at Extraordinary Rank-9. Even with Cao Cao’s “praise”, he still wasn’t a Transcendent enemy’s match.

“Retract!”

He could only withdraw the birds.

The remaining crows fell back onto his hands and turned into feathers.

Luckily, their earlier attack and the explosions had caused damage to the web. It was only torn down, and the remaining part was only a few square meters in size.

However, the merman then chanted something in a low voice.

The last bit of the colorful web suddenly lit up with purple light.

It then disappeared from where it was and appeared right above Cao Cao before converging toward him.

Clang!

At the same time, a saber was drawn.

Then, a streak of saber energy cut the web in half before two giant hands caught the two halves and crumbled them.

To the right of Cao Cao was Yang Zhi, who gave off the Transcendent energy. Together with him was the Black Armor Army on the backs of Steelback Blue Wolves.

Floating above them was a semi-tangible black “army soul”. On its back were dark red army flags that were flapping in the wind.

[Hundred War Army Soul]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-2]

[Rarity: Excellent]

[Description: A treasure made by the City Master of Dragon City by fusing the army soul flag with several soul-enhancing treasures. On the battlefield, it could exert great power.]

Seeing the merman, Yang Zhi put down his saber and picked up his bow.

Whoosh!

The giant army soul in the air gave off the soul power, which then turned into a bow in its hands.

Hum!

The ten-meter bow was drawn.

The flags on its back flapped, and a great amount of soul power poured out.

The soul power flew onto the bow and turned into a ten-meter black arrow before the army soul aimed it at the Transcendent merman King, who was frowning a little when he saw that the web was broken.

Yes, he only frowned.

Although Yang Zhi was a Transcendent hero, he had only just reached Transcendent Rank-1.

Even with the Black Armor Army and the help of the Transcendent Rank-2 Army Soul Flag, the arrow wouldn’t do much damage to the merman.

The only problem was that the Merman King was staring at Cao Cao.

“Yang Zhi, you’re the son of heroes. You’re a great bowman and have fought countless wars… You’re a true hero!”

As expected, Cao Cao spoke again.

With each “comment”, Yang Zhi’s energy grew more powerful.

The army soul in the air was also enhanced, and the armor and black bow became more solid.

“Fight…”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, a great amount of soul power was released by the flag and turned into veterans, who then stood behind the army soul.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

They weren’t alone. The souls of the soldiers who died in Eagle Peak and who were killed by the web just then also appeared.

Clang!

In the end, the arrow was released.

“Die!”

When the arrow was shot, the array formed by thousands of souls moved together, aiming at the Merman King on the back of the giant manta.

The look on the merman’s face changed.

Purple light appeared around him, and he disappeared the moment before the arrow hit him.

Obviously, it involved some kind of Transcendent power that had something to do with space.

However, the Transcendent manta couldn’t do the same because of its size.

Whoosh!

The black arrow that was as big as a spear stabbed into its head.

Boom!

The impact made the sea within 100m fluctuate, and the waves were over ten meters tall. The arrow pushed the soul out of the manta’s body.

“Ha! It’s been a while since we had fish!”

“Kill it!”

The souls of the veterans and Dragon City soldiers grinned and raised their weapons. Together, they chopped the creature with a Transcendent body but an Extraordinary soul into pieces.

Thud…

While the soul army was killing the manta, the great arrow exploded, turning into an ink-like power that melted into the sea, staining the water.

“Kill! Kill! Kill…”

The sea creatures then started killing one another just like the Dragon City members when they were controlled by the Merman King.

This was because that arrow didn’t only contain the Transcendent power of the army flag, but it also contained Yang Zhi’s fighting will.

All the sea creatures felt that they were on a big battlefield, and the companions around them all looked like Yang Zhi and the Black-Armored Soldiers.

And everyone was fighting everyone.

Of course, Yang Zhi alone couldn’t make this happen.

Because the Merman King sensed it right. Yang Zhi was only a Superior hero and only managed to make it to the Transcendent level a few days ago with his contribution points. He wasn’t a particularly talented hero.

He was only able to kill the Transcendent manta and caused internal strife among the sea creatures because of Cao Cao’s “comment”.

Yes, Cao Cao’s talent skill wasn’t that “he can govern the world and be a hero in troubled times” or “It’s better to let me disappoint the others than the other way around”. Rather, it was “spotting a hero”.

That was his talent skill.

It could temporarily raise Quasi-commander level or Elite level heroes to the Commander level.

It could also give talent skills to ordinary commanders or enhance weak talent skills!

This was an incredible ability, especially for the current Dragon City.

This was because every member of Dragon City had accumulated some contribution points and was qualified to use the power of providence of the settlement to use their talent skills!

However, one could only use the power of providence when they reached the Commander level, which meant that the proportion of the power of providence that was meant for them had been remaining “idle”.

With Cao Cao’s ability, there were 20 more Commander-level heroes on the battlefield.

With them and the Azure Dragon over their heads, they had no problem fending off the attacks of the mermen.

“There’s no problem now!”

In the City Master’s residence, Su Nongying was relieved to see this.

“Is that how special a Legendary hero is?

She checked a golden notebook and said curiously, “Not only can his talent skill enhance himself, but it can also work on all the other members of the settlement.

“More importantly, the power of providence the Legendary hero used to activate his talent skill doesn’t just come from the settlement core, but it also comes from the extra power of providence of the rest of the Earth civilization.”

Her Registration Book had risen to the Transcendent level, so she could look up more information.

And that was a piece of meaningful information.
