“Oh no! Your Majesty!
“There are two enemy troops behind us, both with over a thousand soldiers! Our men at the rear are already engaging in the battle!”
“What?”
Holding the Coiled Dragon Jade Seal, Wang Qing paled when he heard the news. He looked up at the sky and found something in the “live stream” projected onto the clouds.
Troops with thousands of soldiers were attacking the island he was on from both the east and the west.
There was no doubt about that.
Although the Twin Dragon Island had four islands now, only the Snake Monkey Island was connected to the Twin Dragon Island. Of the Liao Kingdom, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing, none of the three had many ships, and they were mostly destroyed by the Wu Kingdom’s Navy led by Ling Zhen.
Because of that, they all had to march their army through Snake Monkey Island.
“Oh no. We’ve walked into a trap.
“Attention! We need to get the settlement core as required! Otherwise, we’re all going to die here!”
Seeing this, Wang Qing realized that he had been tricked.
The other three forces now all saw him as the primary target. No matter how capable his army was, he couldn’t fight all three of them at once.
His only choice now was to take the Twin Dragon Island’s settlement core at all costs. That way, the men of the Liao Kingdom and Tian Hu would disappear automatically.
“But before that, I need to get rid of this spell!”
Gritting his teeth, Wang Qing looked up at the “live stream” in the sky. The image up there had been showing his entire military operation to the other forces. He wouldn’t have any chance if he didn’t destroy it.
“Counsellor, I need the location of the person casting this spell!”
Dark-faced, Wang Qing asked Li Zhu, the Mr. Golden Sword, who was holding the compass.
“Yes…
“There are three wonders in the sky and six instruments in the earth… Five elements and eight trigrams connect the world. 72 dragons determine the universe!”
Li Zhu nodded, chanted a spell, and injected his energy into the compass, which immediately lit up. The golden hand on the compass kept spinning, and light in the shape of eight diagrams, nine stars, and 72 dragons kept emerging from the heaven, earth, and human dimensions.
However, after he finished chanting, the golden hand went on spinning without giving any results.
“What’s the matter?”
Wang Qing was getting anxious.
Because the cloud image showed that the troops of Liao and Tian Hu had defeated the troop he left behind to guard their way back to the dry land.
It meant that there was no way out for Wang Qing’s army!
“The other side seems to have a divination expert as well, and they’re interfering with my calculation!”
Li Zhu looked grimly at the spinning hand on the compass.
“Are you saying that you can’t find their location?”
Wang Qing frowned.
“Your Majesty, please don’t worry. This person is far less capable than me. I think they’re only able to interfere with the Taming Compass because they have the help of some instrument!
“With the Tiger Leopard Aura granted by Your Majesty, I’ll be able to destroy that instrument!”
Seeing how anxious Wang Qing was, Li Zhu quickly made up his mind.
The image of a tiger rose out of his body. He then bit the tip of his index finger and spit the blood onto the compass.
“Hoooo!”
Immediately, they heard the faint roaring sound of a tiger.
The hand on the compass finally stopped moving. Together with the three plates and the central cross, a location was determined.
“He’s right there on the mountain peak!”
Li Zhu suddenly looked up at the Eagle Peak.
“You take charge of the army! I’ll kill him myself!”
Wang Qing gave the order.
“Your Majesty, that’s too dangerous!”
Shocked, the guards and officials around him tried to dissuade him.
“With my Dragon Aura, they won’t be able to harm me!”
Wang Qing pressed the Coiled Dragon Jade Seal down into his chest. Immediately, the seal turned into a streak of pale yellow Dragon Aura and fused into his body.
“Come with me!”
After that, he picked up a golden Coiled Dragon Rod that was 1.5m long and charged at the defense line of the Twin Dragon Island.
“It’s Wang Qing!”
“Attack! Kill him!”
The Twin Dragon Island took the head of their enemy very seriously.
Seeing that Wang Qing was fighting the battle himself, they aimed many weapons at him.
Sniper rifles, machine guns, cannonballs, stones, and even magical crystal crossbows…
“Hoooo!”
Wang Qing didn’t even try to dodge.
A dragon roared as a yellow five-clawed dragon rose out of his body.
While the Tiger Leopard Aura around other men were semi-transparent, Wang Qing’s Dragon Aura was almost tangible.
Pop! Crackle!
It was even more powerful than the Perfect Extraordinary Rank-9 Dragon Aura of Ji Ye!
Everything from an arrow to a bullet was torn to pieces when they made contact with the Dragon Aura.
Even the attack of Elder Jiao’s magical crystal ballista, which had the power equivalent to a minor nuclear explosion, couldn’t break the Dragon Aura.
Wang Qing’s counterattack was much more effective.
Crack!
He gave a wave of his golden rod, and it shone brightly. The golden light turned into a stick dozens of meters long and pierced through the solid defense works of the Twin Dragon Island.
With a turn of his wrist, a section of the fortifications was destroyed.
Pa!
A giant rock weighing several tons flew into the air before Wang Qing shattered it with his golden rod.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately after that, golden light wrapped around the broken stones, giving them sharp edges. They then smashed down at the Twin Dragon Island members below.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Over a dozen men were injured.
Those hit on the heads or critical parts were killed instantly.
Of them were three Ordinary-level Divine Arms soldiers and a Beast Blood Guard, who was known for his agility.
“Fall back!”
Shi Shugang, the “Blue Lion”, charged forward. As the commander of the Beast Blood Guards, he had risen to Extraordinary Rank-8 before the battle and had taken out a tiger general together with his two brothers.
But even he couldn’t withstand the dragon. The next second, he flew backward.
When covered by his True Qi, his hands could smash iron objects into pieces, but they were severely injured when defending against the golden dragon rod. The broken bones even pierced through his skin!
“How ignorant.”
Wang Qing smirked and struck down at Shi Shugang’s chest with the glowing golden rod.
“You presumptuous man.”
A calm voice rang out at that moment.
Whoosh!
A purple wooden stick then arrived, smashing into the extended part of the golden rod.
Boom!
The golden dragon rod shifted. It brushed past Shi Shugang’s army and landed on the fortification.
It opened up a hole over 10m deep, and the fierce energy alone had torn one of Shi Shugang’s arms into pieces.
But he survived in the end.
“Commander Shi, please fall back. I’ll handle him!”
Lu Junyi wore the purple Qilin armor that Tang Long specially forged for him and rode a bright-eyed jade color Qilin. Together with his Purple Wood stick carved with Qilin patterns, he looked as intimidating as Wang Qing.
“Impressive. Who might you be?”
“I’m Lu Junyi, the commander of the Twin Dragon Island infantry!”
“Lu Junyi? As in the Jade Qilin from Hebei and the best stick wielder?!”
Wang Qing’s pupils contracted a little.
In Water Margin, Lu Junyi was much more famous than Song Jiang.
Not only was he an incredible martial arts practitioner, but he was also from a good wealthy family that could date back for generations. He was famous for being loyal and magnanimous, and he was indifferent to wealth, being concerned about virtues only.
Song Jiang had admired Lu Junyi for his wealth, fame, and capability. To strengthen Liangshan, he had tried everything he could to make Lu Junyi a member before making him the second in command.
That was why Wang Qing felt a little intimidated when he found out that he was facing Lu Junyi.
