“That’s unbelievable!”
“It really has reached Transcendent Rank-3! Those below the Transcendent level, fall back behind the fortifications.”
Up in the sky, Old Demon Black Mountain looked to be 100m tall. Its twelve eyes glowed like giant red lanterns while its eight arms stuck out of its body.
This was in fact the demon’s soul.
Black Mountain, its body, had been bombarded by the gada, and the remaining radiation and Buddha energy forced it to come out.
However, as a ghost king, even if it’s in its soul form, Old Demon Black Mountain’s power wasn’t much weakened.
“How dare you injure my body?!
“I shall raise hell…”
The twelve glowing red eyes had a furious look in them, and on the mountain, the flames created by the nuclear bomb suddenly turned green. The flames then turned into a giant wave that was a thousand meters wide. It followed Old Demon Black Mountain and moved toward Guobei County.
“I won’t allow it!” Li Guang said loudly. He was standing on one of the Gatling Bodhisattva’s arms.
Clang!
His armor shook, and a streak of golden saber energy rushed toward Old Demon Black Mountain. It was nearly 100m in width and looked like a crescent moon.
It was a skill Li Guang created himself and was called Yaksha Moon Saber.
However, the look on Li Guang’s face turned grave the next second.
The eight-armed ghost king showed no sign of trying to dodge the attack.
It only raised its eight arms and moved them toward the center of its body.
Whoosh!
The eight hands caught the golden saber energy and crushed it like breaking a real piece of metal.
“Be careful, Commander Li, it has probably reached Transcendent Rank-3 for a while,” Li Qing reminded Li Guang in the communication channel.
Once one reached the Transcendent level, each advancement would bring qualitative change.
Heroes of Dragon City could fight against Old Demon Black Mountain despite being inferior in their levels because they were supported by their talent abilities.
Li Guang’s “all-conquering” talent ability was extremely effective on tangible beings.
But the ghost king was the soul form of Old Demon Black Mountain, so the physical penetration couldn’t do much damage to it, not unless he used the “nuclear bomb arrow” again.
However, Old Demon Black Mountain was too close to Guobei County now, and he couldn’t launch a nuclear bomb unless he had no other choice.
After all, the strike might not kill the Transcendent Rank-3 demon. Instead, it would wipe out all the Dragon City members who were below Transcendent level.
Moreover, Old Demon Black Mountain was no fool. After the previous bombardment, it would remain vigilant toward similar attacks.
If they really used the nuclear bomb again, the demon might suppress the explosion before they could set it off, or it might use some teleportation skill to throw the bomb into Guobei County.
If Old Demon Black Mountain were to charge into Guobei County with the ghost flames that could cover half of the county, the result wouldn’t be much better than a nuclear explosion.
It was obvious that these flames were more lethal than the black wind of Zhang Yan.
Anyone making contact with it would meet a miserable end.
Because Old Demon Black Mountain was approaching too fast, many combative members of Dragon City didn’t have time to retreat.
“General Li, you’re faster. Please get everyone out! I’ll cover you!” Lu Zhishen shouted.
The chest of Gatling Bodhisattva then opened, revealing two gun barrels. Two missiles were then launched and flew toward the eight-armed ghost king that was less than 1km from Guobei County.
The two “Inferno” missiles were built with Ameagle technology and not nuclear bombs.
But they were powerful enough to destroy a small mountain.
Crack, crack…
However, they were eroded by the green flames before they could reach the ghost king.
When the missiles got close enough, the ghost king blew at them, and they turned to black powder.
A Transcendent Rank-3 creature was so powerful!
Boom!
Since Lu Zhishen and Li Guang failed to stop the ghost king, Old Demon Black Mountain reached Guobei County with the green ghost flames that were as vast as a lake.
Everywhere the green flames went, the buildings disintegrated and were burnt to ash.
More flames went after the combative members that were trying to get away.
“Amitabha!”
Someone chanted, and a new Transcendent energy appeared in Guobei County.
A streak of golden Buddha Light suddenly rose into the air and stopped the advancing ghost flames like a great dam.
“Judging by the energy, tens of thousands of people must have died in your hands.
“I’ll follow the example of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Crush the evil creatures and save the innocent!”
An old monk with long white eyebrows and low-hanging earlobes sat cross-legged in mid-air. All his nine pieces of equipment, from his cassock and beads to his staff, gave off dazzling Buddha Light.
He was holding a golden Buddha in his hand. The Buddha shone brightly and turned into a golden statue over 300m tall. It blocked the ghost flames to protect the retreating Dragon City members.
He was none other than Bai Yun, the old monk. He and his pupil had joined Dragon City as well.
“Ksitigarbha? Do you seriously think that he’ll scare me?
“This world is full of opportunities, and I’m going to make good use of it.
“After I bring hell here, I’ll gather billions of ghost soldiers and kill that monk with a snap of my fingers!”
Old Demon Black Mountain grew agitated when it heard the mention of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It seemed that in the original book, the two of them had some conflict.
After all, the demon was a ghost king of the netherworld.
“Die!” the ghost king yelled angrily and smashed down at the statue of Ksitigarbha with all eight fists.
Schwing!
The sound was ear-splitting, and half the Guobei County shook with it.
The golden statue dimmed significantly.
Old Demon Black Mountain was very powerful, much more so than Zhang Yan, who had fought Yan Shuangying, Dian Wei, and Danchenzi together.
When the ghost king was going to strike again and destroy Bai Yun—
Whoosh!
A snowflake landed on one of its arms.
Although it was immediately melted by the green flames, the flames were almost extinguished as well.
Splash!
In the sky above Guobei County.
When no one was watching, snow began to fall down from the cloud that Gongsun Sheng was on.
Pew!
As it snowed, a spear made of ice stabbed into one of the ghost king’s arms.
The cold energy immediately froze the arm.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Right after that, seven more spears accurately hit the other seven arms.
Ice then covered them, stopping the ghost king from striking the Ksitigarbha statue.
However, the ghost king’s body was formed by its soul, and the ice didn’t do much damage.
Moreover, the arms were dozens of meters long.
In comparison, the ice spears were like toothpicks.
“Roar!” Old Demon Black Mountain bellowed.
Ghost flames flew back to its body and tried to melt the ice together with the spears.
“Is that it?”
It looked up with its 12 red eyes.
It was looking at a silver-armored hero on the cloud.
Around him, there were more transparent ice spears suspended in the air.
There were hundreds of them!
“You want more?”
Zhao Yun didn’t seem antagonized and only retorted in a low voice.
“You can have them all!”
Immediately after that, there was a rumbling sound.
Hundreds of ice spears trembled together.
Then, they followed Zhao Yun and flew toward the ghost king like falling meteorites.
They moved closer to one another as they fell, and by the time they were about 100m above Old Demon Black Mountain, they had combined into a single ice spear that was nearly 100m long.
Zhao Yun grabbed it and struck down.
[Thousand-Year Ice Dragon Spear]
[Level: Transcendent Rank-3]
[Rarity: Superior]
[Description: The weapon was made of the Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Mystic Ice. It’s remarkably sharp and can exert a “dragon’s strike”.]
“Bring it on!”
Seeing the spear, all twelve eyes of the ghost king lit up.
It held up its eight arms and caught the giant ice spear that was about the same height as itself. The spear was stopped when it was about 10m from the ghost king’s head.
Splash!
Green ghost flames surged to the sky and moved along the ice spear toward Zhao Yun.
They devoured Zhao Yun in a matter of seconds.
“Commander Zhao!”
“Yun!”
Many players that had retreated to the settlement core of Guobei County looked concerned.
But they were soon relieved.
Because silver light flickered in the green flames.
Zhao Yun was covered by the silver Power of Dragon Valiance. Although the ghost flames could burn the city wall and metal into ashes, they couldn’t hurt Zhao Yun at all.
“A protective shield?
“I’d like to see how long you can keep doing that!”
Old Demon Black Mountain’s red eyes flickered again.
More ghost flames reached Zhao Yun, and their color turned from green to purple. Even the air seemed to be on fire.
The silver light around Zhao Yun began to dim.
“Now!”
Just then, Zhou Yu’s voice rang out in the communication channel.
“Roar!”
The ice dragon spear in Zhao Yun’s hand suddenly roared.
The snowflakes gathered together, turning into a 300m long ice dragon. It then wrapped around the ghost king.
The cold energy slowed the ghost king’s reaction, and it couldn’t hold onto anything with its eight hands anymore.
Pew!
The Thousand-Year Ice Dragon Spear pierced through its head, and together with the dragon, they froze over half of the ghost king’s body.
Meanwhile, another voice rang out.
“Borrow Power From The Universe!”
All the energy of nature moved in one direction.
They reached a middle-aged man with a round face. He wore his hair in a Daoist bun, had a heavy beard and thick eyebrows, and on his back, there was a sword.
