Chapter 119: Hero: Yang Zhi

Hum!

In the Temple of Providence, the last offering was technically a “set” of offerings.

It was a set of black full armor that was filled with all kinds of cuts and scratches on the surface and had been seriously worn out by time.

[Black Mountain Armor]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Superior offering]

[Introduction: This armor accompanied Black Mountain through half a life’s battles and slept with him after he died, witnessing his prime years and his harrowing ending. It also retains part of his fighting will. Only a hero that it acknowledges will be worthy to put on this armor!]

Altogether, ten sets of Black Mountain Armor were taken out of the Battlefield of Providence. They were all the guards’ armor except this one.

Ji Ye had considered melting two of the Black Mountain Armor and creating another Perfect offering.

But in the end, he gave up on that thought.

There were two reasons. Firstly, there were too many items waiting to be fused. Secondly, this Black Mountain Armor belonged to the general, and it had different styles and materials from the guards’ armor.

If they were fused, the final product might not be “Perfect”.

In such a case, he would lose one of the ten guards’ armor.

The Black Mountain Formation, another prize he got from Black Mountain, required at least ten people to fully carry out its power!

Therefore, after much deliberation, Ji Ye chose to devote the Black Mountain Armor to the ritual in Superior quality.

Hum!

However, although it was only Superior, the real Black Mountain was likely a Transcendent being. Activated by the power of providence, the armor changed the environment in the temple just like the Mirage Dragon Tooth did.

On a battlefield where fire and smoke were rising and roars were echoing, a tall man wearing the Black Mountain Armor was sitting on the back of a strange beast whose hooves and eyes were ablaze. He held a two-meter-long black-and-red saber at the center of the battlefield in silence!

Though he didn’t say a word, the vibe of iron blood and graveness that belonged to a tough warrior already impressed everybody of the Twin Dragon Mount outside the Temple of Providence.

It was exactly the battle will left by Valiant General Black Mountain, a hero from another plane. Also, he wasn’t in the ghost status as when Ji Ye faced him in the Battlefield of Providence, but a living person!

Sensing the overwhelming fighting will, the Soul of Civilization had reactions on the other side and began to transform!

“My blade and bow can appease the universe. I’m as strong as a tiger and as agile as an ape. I ride a horse that’s as fast as a dragon…”

At the same time, a magnificent poetic announcement sounded again and even dwarfed the battle roars.

A person with a fuzzy face arrived at the battlefield. He wore the standard armor of the Song Dynasty and rode on a black horse. On the saddle of the horse was a spear whose tip was glittering coldly and an iron bow that was blue and black!

Comparatively, Black Mountain from the cultivators’ plane was undoubtedly more awesome.

After all, the strange mount, whose hooves were ablaze, and his valuable armor and Black Mountain Saber looked much more splendid than the ancient items on Earth.

However, this battle was actually a competition of resolve. The mounts and the weapons that manifested wouldn’t actually affect the outcome!

Hum!

After the hero was gathered from the Soul of Civilization, Black Mountain instantly looked at him. Without a word, he waved his black long saber and urged his mount whose hooves were still burning to charge at the hero!

Whoosh!

The hero on the black horse didn’t charge out yet. Instead, he picked up the bow on the saddle and shot a silver arrow right toward Black Mountain’s forehead.

It could be inferred from the poetic announcement that the arriving hero was not just good with sabers but also with bows!

Pa!

However, Black Mountain was so strong that he accurately determined the arrow’s trajectory during the charge.

He simply used his saber as the shield and slapped the arrow away.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The hero on the black horse fired his iron bow again with two arrows consecutively at Black Mountain who was still charging at a high speed!

Boom!

Black Mountain’s expression couldn’t be seen under the helmet, but his hands were very calm. From the two-meter-long saber, red flames burst out more than ten meters away and burnt the feathers on the two arrows.

Then, he lowered his body on his mount to avoid the arrows that had lost their accuracy.

The fiery beast moved so fast that the two parties were already within a hundred meters after the three shots.

The Liangshan hero whose face was fuzzy, seeing that, abandoned the bow, grabbed the spear, and charged at Black Mountain!

Clang, clang…

A hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye when both of them were charging at each other. When their mounts passed each other, they attacked each other with the saber and the spear.

The red flames that instantly soared from Black Mountain’s saber made it impossible to see clearly what was happening inside.

It could only be seen that the two mounts were separated after no more than one second before they rode dozens of meters away.

Then, Black Mountain gradually disappeared into the black smoke of the fiery beast!

Above the black horse on the other side, the arriving hero trembled hard. There was a wound on his chest that almost cut his body into halves.

But after Black Mountain disappeared, the wound gradually healed by the Soul of Civilization and the Twin Dragon Mount’s power of providence.

“Unfortunately, you’re just the residue of his fighting will, and you can only perform one attack, or I would be the one who fails!”

The hero whose face was fuzzy remarked in mixed feelings.

“Many thanks, human general from another world!”

He then stared at Black Mountain who disappeared into smoke with gratitude.

A hero must pass the test of the offering in order to arrive. Most offerings were from aliens, and some were from monsters.

They would all try their best to resist and wouldn’t yield easily during the ritual.

But the Black Mountain Armor was different. It was essentially made of the power of providence of another human civilization. Though it was in a different form, it still belonged to human beings, so the Black Mountain Armor’s test wasn’t nearly as rigorous as the Mirage Monster’s.

During the whole test, it had only performed one attack, only for the purpose of confirming that the human being from Earth was qualified to wear the armor.

Otherwise, faced with the fighting will of a supposedly Transcendent expert, even a Perfect hero might not have been able to win.

After the illusionary battlefield disappeared, the sixth hero from Liangshan was finally no longer hazy and put on the Battlefield of Providence that had been renewed by the power of providence. He took off his helmet and showed his face as well as the blue birthmark that almost occupied one-third of it!

[Yang Zhi]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Introduction:

[Title: Heavenly Dark Star.

[Nickname: Blue Faced Beast.

[He is one of the commanders of the cavalry in the Liangshan Marsh, and he is good with both bows and sabers!]

“Brother Yang!”

“Chief Yang!”

Lu Zhishen was delighted to see Yang Zhi. Many civilians and soldiers of the Twin Dragon Mount called out to him too.

That was because Yang Zhi was himself one of the three chiefs of the Twin Dragon Mount fort. This place was his home field.

He had finally returned.

“Zhang Heng, Sun Niu, Pei San…”

Walking out of the Temple of Providence, Yang Zhi was no longer as grave as when he fought Black Mountain but greeted many people.

“Gongsun…”

However, when Yang Zhi saw Gongsun Sheng, he came to a pause and looked rather weird.

“Huh. I totally forgot that.”

Ji Ye suddenly remembered that the reason why Yang Zhi ended up in the Liangshan Marsh was that the treasures he escorted were hijacked. Otherwise, Yang Zhi would have continued working as a soldier for the authorities.

Gongsun Sheng was exactly one of the people who robbed him!

Although they both had the future Liangshan memories, what they remembered most vividly was still the recent incidents.

At this moment, what would Yang Zhi do after seeing Gongsun Sheng on the Twin Dragon Mount?

“… Advisor!”

After several seconds of silence, Yang Zhi finally said.

By calling Gongsun Sheng advisor, it meant that Yang Zhi had forgiven him for the robbery.

It was partly because they worked together in the Liangshan Marsh later and fought more than once side by side on the battlefield.

It was also because Yang Zhi knew that the treasures he escorted were looted from the people and unrighteous, and it was wrong of him to accept the mission to escort them.

Of course, the most important reason was that he was already on the Land of Inheritance and no longer related to the Song Dynasty. All the past was just the past.

For the heroes, it was their common goal to develop the settlement to which they had arrived and fight for the power of providence for human beings on the Land of Inheritance.

“Chief Yang has a piece of great armor but no weapons. We don’t have suitable spears in the fort, but we do have a saber. I wonder if you can use it.”

Seeing that no conflicts burst out between Yang Zhi and Gongsun Sheng, Ji Ye felt lucky that his trouble was avoided. He thought of something and fetched a long saber from his room for Yang Zhi.

This saber almost looked identical to the one that Black Mountain held on the battlefield.

But their colors were slightly different. Black Mountain’s saber was red with floating flames, and this one was blue and purple as if lightning was attached to it.

Actually, this was exactly the saber that Black Mountain used.

Back then, Ji Ye took this weapon that didn’t have spoils stats out of the Battlefield of Providence by way of “Fusion”.

It was different from the original weapon because the weakened Black Mountain on the Battlefield of Providence, when attacked by him and Katerina, launched an ultimate attack at the cost of losing the Extraordinary power in the saber and hurt both of them.

After that, Ji Ye fused a rare “Thunder Magnetic Stone” that he got from an enemy contestant with the broken saber, forging the new Black Mountain Saber!

[Black Mountain Saber]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-3]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Introduction: This is a Superior weapon made of the Black Mountain Saber and the Thunder Magnetic Stone. It can deprive some metal items of their Extraordinary power. However, not everybody can wield this saber where Black Mountain’s fighting will lingers!]

“Great saber!”

After accepting the saber from Ji Ye, Yang Zhi was apparently delighted as the blue birthmark on his mark suddenly moved.

Ordinary people couldn’t master this saber.

However, having just fought Black Mountain and received some of his approval, Yang Zhi could certainly use it.

Although he mainly used spears on the horse, he was better with sabers when he was on foot!

He wasn’t familiar with huge sabers like this one, but on the Land of Inheritance, one could get the hang of a weapon quickly with EXP.

Sizzle!

When Yang Zhi slashed the saber on the training field and it hit the ground, blue electric currents flashed on the saber and spread dozens of feet away!

That was exactly the Extraordinary magnetic power of the saber.

According to the cultivation novels, it was the best equipment against metals!

After research, Elder Jiao had found that this saber could release Extraordinary power similar to electromagnetic bombs. The metal equipment, particularly the highly sensitive gears, would probably malfunction when the saber hit it.

That was definitely a very practical ability, particularly when the Metal Men were the only alien tribe near the Twin Dragon Mount apart from the remaining Forest Monsters on the ground.

After days of observation, it had been found that the members of that tribe were fully metal, and they were a technological civilization that had been developed to a certain level!

That was also why Ji Ye gave this saber to Yang Zhi.

“Chief Yang, please work with Chief Wu and resist the Metal Men to our east!

“Chief Lu and Ninth Uncle, please defend the north and watch out for the Eagle Men!”

Two Commanders and one Quasi-Commander had arrived after the ritual, so the Twin Dragon Mount fort could soon launch another attack.

However, before that, they had to finish off the Forest Monsters first.

“Mr. Gongsun, I’ll have to invite you and Chief Ling to come to the Forest Monsters’ territory with me.”

The Forest Monsters could climb the hundred-meter-tall trees, which made it impossible for regular attacks to reach them, but the case would be different now that the Twin Dragon Mount fort had “Dragon in the Clouds”!
