Surprisingly, after making such a mess, not only was Wang Qing able to survive, but he had also risen in rebellion and become one of the “Four Major Bandits”.
Someone like that had to be clever.
“I didn’t send out that division!”
Frowning, Wang Qing looked confused.
“So the situation up there is… Has one of the generals found an opportunity and breached the enemy’s defense line to create a chance for His Majesty?”
The officer couldn’t figure out what was going on, but it didn’t stop him from fawning on his superior.
“No. All the troops are accounted for.”
The Coiled Dragon Jade Seal in Wang Qing’s hand gave off a magnificent glow, and he closed his eyes to sense the energy.
“Those are not our people up there!”
His eyes snapped open as he said firmly.
…
It was true. They weren’t Wang Qing’s men.
The Temple of Providence was the Twin Dragon Island core, and they would never let people get close that easily.
Even if they wanted to show their weakness, they wouldn’t take such a big risk.
Clang, clang, clang…
If the noise on the battlefield was quieter, Wang Qing and the others would be able to hear the sonorous music.
Nie Xiaoqian sat at the center of the Temple of Providence wearing a white robe and with her long black hair hanging over her shoulders. She was playing the section of the Ambush from Ten Sides where the Han army surrounded the Chu army. She had slightly changed the tone of the music with her mental power before playing it with her extraordinary power, using the Mirage Dragon Guqin given by Ji Ye.
The real troop of Wang Qing had been stopped by the Twin Dragon Island shortly after they set their foot on the island.
“Die!”
Mister Bug was bleeding from the corners of his eyes as he emitted red laser beams from his eyes, melting the armor of the assistant general of Wang Qing’s army opposite him and burning the man to death.
“Boss, I… I don’t think I can hold on much longer…”
Next to Mister Bug was the new player nicknamed “Bunny”. Right now, he had the sweet appearance of a famous Jaipan actress and was panting like a helpless girl.
“There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. From the very start, I’ve been…”
The right side of “her” B-cup breasts had been pierced by a sharp black arrow and was incredibly smaller than the left side.
He choked on his own blood as he spoke and began to cough violently.
Bleeding through his eyes, Mister Bug yelled at another player who had superpowers, “Stop talking if you’re already dying! Doc! Doc! Get over here! Save him! I’m not leaving my man behind!”
“I know what you want to say, but Bunny, Master Ji is straight. I was the one who made the anonymous post in the forum…” Mister Bug sighed and cut Bunny off.
“I fell in love with you from the very beginning…”
However, Bunny continued to talk stubbornly as he looked affectionately at Mister Bug.
“Hey, Doc, you can take a break back there.
“Bunny’s wound is too bad. I don’t think you’ll be able to save him. It may get you killed instead. Just let him die…”
Mister Bug’s tone immediately changed as he spoke to a skinny player with superpower player, who had run to his side.
The man’s code name was “Doc”, and his superpower was to transfer his vitality to other people. He was all skin and bones now, but before this battle started, he was Tian Hu’s size.
As one of the four major bandits, Wang Qing had an army consisting of tens of thousands of men. Mister Bug led his “superpower camp” to slow them down and had lost 70% of his soldiers.
Luckily, they finally didn’t need to hold the line anymore.
Whoosh!
A giant crane made of white mist flapped its wings, flew past Mister Bug, and charged into Wang Qing’s army that was attacking the defensive line outside Eagle Peak.
It then dissipated, turning into a large cloud of steam!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Up on the cliff, Elder Meng, the military advisor of the Twin Dragon Island, held his porcelain teacup. As he poured hot tea into the cup, the crane and other creatures all turned into misty beasts before diving down to the battlefield below.
Those in the mist not only had their sight constrained, but they also feel the temperature rising around them, as if they had been put into a steamer!
Gurgle, gurgle…
The tea in Elder Meng’s cup was getting hotter and hotter.
[Universe Teacup]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Excellent (Rare)]
[Description: In the teacup is an entire universe. By holding the cup, one can affect the weather!]
The universe in a pot referred to the story of the Eastern Han Dynasty when Fei Changfang met an immortal.
Fei Changfang was originally a market official. There was an old man selling medicine in the market, and after the business was closed every day, he would go into the gourd hanging from the stall. No one else but Fei Changfang noticed it, so he went to visit the old man.
After that, the old man invited Fei to go into the pot with him, and Fei was astonished to find another world inside. There were richly decorated and magnificent buildings, as well as the most unusual plants. All the cups were filled with miraculous drinks.
The old man told Fei that he was an immortal banished to the mortal world because of some mistakes he made.
Now that he had done his time, he was going to leave. Since Fei was lucky enough to recognize him, he was going to give Fei a pot of wine as a farewell gift.
The pot didn’t seem to be over a liter, but all eleven men Fei Changfang brought there couldn’t lift it. Two men could drink for a whole day without being able to empty the pot.
Elder Meng’s porcelain teacup was similar to that pot. Essentially, it should be a treasure with a hidden space like Ji Ye’s Void Ring.
It looked like a normal teacup, but it was big enough to hold an entire lake. Therefore, Elder Meng never went anywhere without it, because he needed to use his mental power to maintain that capacity.
It also meant that he was constantly training his mental power, which had reached Extraordinary Rank-8 already.
The mist had covered an area over 20 meters in diameter, confining over 300 soldiers in total!
Before long, the water in the teacup had become scorchingly hot.
“Gosh, that’s hot!”
“Help! I’m dying here!”
The temperature around Wang Qing’s army was rising as well.
Hundreds of soldiers were shouting together, but the mist had stopped them from leaving the area. The change in the teacup was amplified and projected to the entire area.
“It’s that old man’s doing! General Li, kill him!”
However, Wang Qing had some capable men as well.
For instance, Li Zhu, aka “Mr. Golden Sword”, who had been supervising the battle, managed to locate Elder Meng with the compass in his hands.
“Yes, sir!”
At his command, an Extraordinary Rank-7 South Kingdom general charged out on horseback at top speed.
He then threw out a black spear made of pure iron, which flew for over a kilometer!
Boom, boom, boom!
The black spear ripped through the air like a missile and was aimed right at Elder Meng’s head.
However, it stopped when it was 30m away.
Hum!
Because an incomplete magic slate and a giant transparent magic circle emerged on the rock under Elder Meng’s feet.
[Incomplete Magic Slate]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: A partially broken magic slate that came from a transcendent being among the high tower elves who was well-versed in magic. When activated by crystals, it would release part of the intact magic it recorded.]
It was the special device dropped by the Tyrant Lizard mage.
Compared with other treasures, to the people of the Twin Dragon Island, this magical slate was much harder to comprehend.
Luckily, as a linguist, Elder Meng was an expert in deciphering languages.
By now, he had learned a few things.
Hum!
Inside the magic circle, a magic wall suddenly erupted, blocking the black spear.
Boom!
Although it was immediately destroyed, it successfully slowed the spear down.
Moreover, as soon as the stone wall was destroyed, the second one was formed, which was followed by the third and the fourth!
Boom, boom, boom…
Although the black spear was powerful enough to punch through magical walls, it fell to the ground when it was about a meter away from Elder Meng.
The ground cracked open!
Whoosh!
After that, the general who had thrown out the spear was shot in the chest by a magical crossbow arrow about the same size as the black spear.
The magical arrow immediately knocked him off his horse.
Boom!
In the process, the talisman on the arrow lit up before it exploded, centering around that general.
Elder Jiao wore a techno-styled protection gear, and in front of him was a magical ballista cart that looked similar to a rocket launcher. On it was the Magical Explosive Ballista that was made from the magical crystal from the Tyrant Lizard settlement.
The magical crystal contained a frightening amount of energy, and a tiny one could generate power of TNT of equivalent weight.
These ballistae used fire magical crystals, which had explosive effects that resembled nuclear explosions.
Obviously, it wasn’t as powerful as nuclear weapons and wouldn’t have contamination problems.
The only shortcoming was that the magical crystals were very scarce. Even with the help of the power of providence, they still couldn’t be used on a large scale.
Otherwise, all the Twin Dragon Island needed was to build several dozen such magical ballista carts. One round of fire, and Wang Qing’s army would be wiped off the face of the earth.
