Chapter 472: Li Guang Missile and Lu Zhishen Buddha
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sun was blazing in the sky.
An area of rolling black fog rose to about 300m into the sky and covered an area about 3 or 4km in diameter.
Not only did it block the sun, but it also kept people from observing what was happening in the fog.
“The yakshas haven’t left their settlement for three days, and that was when the black fog appeared. I haven’t been able to get new intel on the settlement since then,” said Li Qing.
He was on a mountain about 5km away from the fog.
Under the Invisible Cape, his clothes were unkempt, but his eyes remained very sharp.
“That’s quite understandable. After all, they’re no less intelligent than humans and can certainly tell that we have the intention to attack their settlement!”
Ji Ye nodded.
He wasn’t surprised.
Clang!
But when he raised his head, his pupils became horizontal, and two streaks of golden light shone into the black fog.
That was his Transcendent ability—True Dragon’s Eyes.
Having practiced this skill for a while, Ji Ye had made some great improvements.
He could transform only a part of his body into the Flood Dragon state. Therefore, he was able to activate the Transcendent skill when he was still in his human form.
It was obvious that the black fog wasn’t of Transcendent level. Because of that, Ji Ye could see everything inside with True Dragon’s Eyes.
In the black fog, they had laid out on the ground a complete fortification and a variety of weapon traps, such as long- and close-range weapons, poisonous smoke, and concealed weapons. There were even several bloody altars piled high with corpses.
Hundreds of flying yakshas flew around in the sky. Together with over 2,000 land yakshas on the ground, they formed an almost impregnable defense line.
There was no doubt that as soon as the humans set foot in the black fog, the yakshas would attack with all they had.
With yakshas’ advantages in the defense, even if Dragon City could win in the end, they would still suffer a heavy loss.
They might have more casualties than the yakshas. After all, the yakshas were all Extraordinary and above, but only half of the combative members of Dragon City were Extraordinary.
However, although the yakshas had Extraordinary power, the humans had learned Transcendent skills.
“Chief Li!” Ji Ye said.
“Yes, sir!”
Li Guang nodded.
A golden light emerged on his Night King Light Armor before gathering together and forming a golden bow that was over 3m tall.
Whoosh!
Hua Rong the Little Li Guang, who wore a silver robe, quickly opened a rectangular metal case that looked like a delivery box, took out a high-tech-looking giant metal arrow the size of an adult’s thigh, and handed it to Li Guang.
“Everyone, protect yourselves as we’ve practiced!”
Ji Ye’s voice rang out in the communication channel.
Clang!
On top of the mountain, Li Guang had released the string of the Light Bow formed by the golden light.
Immediately, the arrow as thick as the thigh and was covered by a red light was aimed and shot out at the rolling black fog several kilometers away.
Splash!
Apparently, the yakshas had made a lot of preparations in the past three days.
The moment the metal arrow was released, the black cloud above the yaksha settlement started shaking violently.
Immediately, the black fog turned into a giant yaksha with three heads and six arms. It then waved its house-sized fists and smashed down at the arrow.
Meanwhile, in the black fog, the silver-winged yakshas had been on their guards the entire time.
The wings of over a dozen of them glowed and formed a solid silver shield in the air.
It stood between the arrow and the settlement core.
Hum!
A streak of golden saber energy with Transcendent power shot out of the black fog.
It struck down at the arrow first.
There was defense as well as assault.
The yakshas were remarkably fast in making the preparations.
After all, they were known for their speed and agility.
If the arrow had been shot by anyone else, it would have been intercepted already, even if the archer was a Transcendent being.
However, Li Guang was the archer this time, which meant that the arrow had an “all-conquering” quality to it.
Hum!
The red glow on the giant arrow became brighter, knocking the golden saber energy first.
It then pierced the fist of the giant yaksha made of the black fog as if it were nothing.
Clang!
After that, it punctured the silver shield formed by hundreds of flying yakshas.
By then, the red glow on the arrow had dissipated.
After all, it had only been days since Li Guang arrived at Dragon City, and he didn’t have enough power of providence to maintain his talent for very long.
But it was long enough.
Some of the yakshas were panic-stricken and tried to run away.
Some growled angrily and charged at the giant arrow.
Crack!
The arrow suddenly made a crisp sound.
Then, time seemed to stop for a split second.
Hum!
The black cloud covering half of the sky suddenly froze.
Immediately after that, a dazzling white light came from inside and spread out in no time, so bright that the sun was dimmed.
Boom!
The black cloud covering an area of several square kilometers was destroyed in an instant.
The light lasted for a few seconds before it dimmed. Gradually, it shrank, turning into a ball of light that covered more than half of the settlement.
Meanwhile, accompanied by terrible heat and the shock wave that swept a large amount of soil and smoke and spread them in all directions, a “mushroom cloud” that was very familiar to the people of the earth was formed.
“Wind, stop!”
Seeing that the shock wave was going to reach the mountain, wearing a formal Daoist robe, Gongsun Sheng stood on the cloud and activated all the power of his Wind Tunnel Sandbox, raising a gust of strong wind and blowing all the sand and fire away.
Needless to say, the nuclear weapon could easily wipe out an area.
The only problem was that it had some side effects.
For one, if the equivalent weight of the bomb was too large and the attack range was too wide, the detonation method would become a problem.
For instance, if they were to use a nuclear bomb with the equivalent of tens of millions of tons, the person placing the bomb wouldn’t have time to get away even with Distance Reduction.
For another, if the nuclear bomb was too powerful, it would destroy the resources of the settlement together with the yakshas. Even their weapons that could turn into war spoils would be destroyed as well.
It significantly reduced the reward Dragon City could receive.
And such a nuclear bomb would leave too much radiation behind, and they would have to waste a lot of power of providence to clean it away.
Because of that, Dragon City used an extra small nuclear bomb this time. Its effective range had a radius of about 2km, making it enough to kill most of the yakshas while keeping as many resources unharmed and as little radiation left behind as possible.
More importantly, a bomb of this weight and size could work with Li Guang. Using his Transcendent talent skill, it could be released from a long distance away like a missile.
“Hoooo!”
But because of that, after the nuclear bomb was set off, some yakshas still survived.
For instance, some land yakshas had been hiding in the outer fortifications and bunkers.
And some of the flying yakshas of Extraordinary Rank-5 and above had wrapped their silver wings around themselves. After the shock wave and scorching heat died down, they flapped their charred wings, trying to flee.
“Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, go!”
But Ji Ye would never let any yaksha get away.
The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon tattoo on his back turned into a 300m dragon and rose to the sky.
On its head sat a “Sitting Buddha” that was several meters tall and was giving off the golden Buddha Light.
That was the effect of the Transcendent Buddha Light Talisman.
When activated, it could form the shape of a Buddha, which would give off a constant Buddha Light.
Even the yakshas hidden in the bunkers would be exposed.
Needless to say, the talisman was drawn by Monk Bai Yun of Guobei County.
Dragon City cured his eyes, and to return all the favors the city had given him, Bai Yun wouldn’t say no to any requests.
Moreover, the talisman was going to be used for killing ghost-like creatures a.k.a the yakshas that Buddha was said to have subdued once.
Dragon City had made thorough preparation for this battle.
They fought as hard as they could from the very beginning.
With the “Sitting Buddha” in the sky, the yakshas hidden behind fortifications had to run out into the open. Just then, a figure with three faces and six arms appeared on the highest mountain near the yaksha settlement. It was glowing in the golden Buddha Light.
Moooo...
It chanted loudly. The six golden arms then moved, forming a Buddhist seal.
Hum!
A golden light flashed, and a golden shell as thick as a child’s arm charged at the remaining bunker.
Boom!
About a second later, another small mushroom cloud rose to the sky.
Dozens of remaining yakshas were devoured by the scorching flame of the Pure Sensation Depleted Uranium Bomb.
Even if the yakshas could use their high speed to fly away, they would never be quick enough to fly out of the range.
Because the effective range of the Pure Sensation Depleted Uranium Bomb was over a hundred meters.
And that was in the case of Extraordinary creatures like the yakshas.
The effect would be even more damaging to Ordinary beings.
If someone was at the center of the explosion without effective countermeasure, even if that person was a Transcendent being, he or she would be severely injured.
If this thing didn’t need so much power of providence to build, Ji Ye would love to produce it in large quantities.
“Hoooo!”
Since it was only a mini nuclear bomb, the yakshas at the edge of the explosion area still had time to run away from the ball of fire.
For instance, an Extraordinary Rank-7 Quasi-Commander flying yaksha bellowed and forced his way through the Buddha Light. He charged at the Gatling Bodhisattva like a streak of silver light.
His sharp silver wings struck down at the Gatling Bodhisattva’s head.
Clang!
However, the flying yaksha was the one who looked pained.
His silver wings only made a shallow cut of less than 3cm. The Buddha Light around the Gatling Bodhisattva shone brightly.
Black smoke rose from the yaksha, looking as if he had been burnt.
This Buddhist mechanical armor was made from Buddha Gold. Not only was it very hard, but it could also suppress the power of yakshas.
“Hoooo!”
However, the yakshas were fierce creatures.
Even with the effect of Buddha Gold, the yaksha still didn’t run away.
In the outer fortifications and bunkers, silver lights glowed on his arms, and he tried to use them to drill a hole in Bodhisattva’s chest.
Whoosh!
But before he could touch the armor, a pair of arms of the Gatling Bodhisattva suddenly changed their direction.
They grabbed the yaksha’s neck, and there was the sound of cracked bones. The flying yaksha looked miserable.
The Bodhisattva then crushed the yaksha’s head onto its chest.
Pew!
The head burst open, and blue blood splashed everywhere.
Long-range attacks weren’t the only ability of this mechanical armor.
When someone was sitting inside, it also had powerful close-range combat ability.
Especially when the person sitting inside was none other than Lu Zhishen, the first hero of Dragon City, who had reached perfection in Extraordinary Rank-9.
Boom!
This time, the golden Bodhisattva didn’t use its arms. Instead, it stomped on the ground.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
Over half a dozen land yakshas had hidden underground and tried to sneak up on the Bodhisattva.
In an instant, the great force blew them to pieces. It was none other than Lu Zhishen’s talent, making strikes through barriers.
