“That’s Yan Chixia!”
“Wow! Since when did he come to our settlement?!”
“It was two weeks ago. But Master Ji and Commander Lu were said to have entered the Battlefield of Providence with A Chinese Ghost Story as the background before. Moreover, Yan Chixia taught Master Ji how to use a sword.”
Many players immediately recognized him.
“Wow! Yan Chixia is a master in subduing monsters and ghosts. He can surely kill Old Demon Black Mountain!”
“I’m not so sure. He couldn’t do it in the movie…”
Of course, the results of battles in the Land of Inheritance were largely determined by the level of both sides.
Yan Chixia was Transcendent Rank-2, but he wasn’t as powerful as Li Guang, who was of the same level.
This was because Yan Chixia was only summoned two weeks ago by a Transcendent-level Soul of Civilization and an offering from the yaksha race.
However, as the energy of nature flowed toward him, Yan Chixia’s power was also growing. It even exceeded Transcendent Rank-2 and reached Transcendent Rank-3.
It was Yan Chixia’s talent skill, which could raise his power by a rank.
Although it would only last for a short while, it was still an excellent talent that a popular and powerful hero should have.
“Xuanyuan Sword!”
After the temporary advancement was completed, Yan Chixia reached behind his back and patted the copper sword box. The energy that came off the talisman on it was of the Transcendent level.
Whoosh!
The box opened, and a golden sword energy shot up into the sky.
It then turned into thousands of golden flying swords.
The golden light lit up half the county.
“Infinite Sword! Go!”
Yan Chixia made a hand seal with his fingers, and the thousands of swords gathered together, forming a giant golden sword that was at least a hundred meters long. It then charged at the frozen ghost king.
“Roar!”
Seeing this extraordinary strike, Old Demon Black Mountain felt the threat as well. It bellowed
and detonated four of its arms. With that momentum, it broke the ice on the remaining four arms.
It then moved the four hands toward the Xuanyuan Sword, trying to pin the blade between the palms as it did with the Heavenly Moon Saber.
However, Yan Chixia was a Daoist priest and a swordsman.
His Xuanyuan Sword was much more damaging to ghost creatures than Li Guang’s Yaksha Heavenly Moon Saber.
Moreover, he had used his talent skill and temporarily raised himself to Transcendent Rank-3. Xuanyuan Sword had also been cultivated by a Transcendent Sword-nourishing Talisman for half a month.
Whoosh!
The four hands indeed caught the giant sword.
Sizzle!
But smoke immediately rose from the hands before the arms were severed by the golden light. The hundred-meter-tall body was also cut in half.
Pew!
“Infinite Swords!”
Immediately, the giant sword split into hundreds of streaks of sword energy, which all pierced the ghost king’s body.
The five Transcendent heroes worked together, and they all used their most formidable skills, severely injuring the intimidating Old Demon Black Mountain.
The demon was much weakened.
However, it was still a Transcendent Rank-3 creature and a Boss. It wouldn’t be easy to kill such a monster.
“I’m going to kill all of you and lock up all your souls!”
The severely wounded Old Demon Black Mountain roared, and its remaining one eye shone like a red lantern.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
All of a sudden, the ghost soldiers and Yellow Turban Army zombies that had been attacking Guobei County all let out painful screams and convulsed. Black smoke rose out of their eyes, noses, mouths, and ears, and floated toward Old Demon Black Mountain.
“What’s going on?”
The same thing happened to Zhang Yan, who was still fighting Danchenzi, Yan Shuangying, and Dian Wei. He lost half of his capability, and his body was no longer as tough. Danchenzi’s wings then cut half of his head off.
Whoosh!
After Old Demon Black Mountain absorbed the black smoke, its wounds quickly closed up, and its energy even felt stronger than before.
“Oh no! It has put a manipulation spell on all the ghost soldiers.
“Once it’s injured, it can devour their souls for restoration and even forcibly raise its level!”
Drained of his energy, Yan Chixia landed on the city wall of Guobei County and shouted anxiously.
Old Demon Black Mountain was already a Transcendent Rank-3 creature. If it raised its level again, it would become Transcendent Rank-4!
The most capable members of Dragon City were Transcendent Rank-2 only, and they were only able to injure Old Demon Black Mountain because of their talent skills, various treasures, last-resort strikes, and reasonable strategies.
If they didn’t stop the demon and let it rise to Transcendent Rank-4, even all the Perfect heroes of Dragon City wouldn’t be able to handle such a difference in their levels.
“We must stop it from absorbing souls!”
After Yan Chixia’s reminder, all the Transcendent heroes on the battlefield started attacking the demon, trying to interrupt the absorption.
Boom, boom, boom…
However, the black smoke rose from everywhere, and it was very difficult to cut it off from the source.
When the smoke gathered around Old Demon Black Mountain, it turned into a giant armor that was formed by countless souls. The heroes couldn’t break it in time.
Clang, clang, clang!
Suddenly, they heard music.
Zhou Yu sat on top of the city wall in his fiery red robe and was playing a guqin. The music was then absorbed by the gada next to him.
Ding!
As he played, a platinum-colored flame rose from the gada and formed a three-legged flaming bird in the air.
Zhou Yu’s talent skill was to use music to turn the extraordinary power in any object into flame. After his advancement, the ability could also be used on a wider range of objects.
The flaming bird formed by the energy extracted from the nuclear bomb wasn’t a phoenix anymore. Instead, it was a Three-Legged Golden Raven that represented the sun.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
As soon as the golden raven appeared, the sky was lit up.
The black smoke coming out of the ghost soldiers and zombies immediately thinned down.
Driven by the music, the golden raven flew toward Old Demon Black Mountain with its platinum-colored flame. Everywhere it went, the black smoke disappeared like snow under sunlight.
Even the armor that was formed earlier began to melt under the heat.
But it was still not enough.
Because Zhou Yu had spent a lot of time on running the settlement and learning knowledge from Earth, he was only Transcendent Rank-1. The golden raven only slowed down Old Demon Black Mountain from absorbing the souls but couldn’t stop it completely.
However, Dragon City had more than enough outstanding heroes to fill in the gap.
In a battle against ghost creatures and zombies, one of the veteran heroes was particularly useful.
