Chapter 203 - Rage
Chapter 203: Rage
“You all should die!”
Faced with the Yuan soldiers who were riding the huge camels towards him while waving long spears, Yang Guo’s eyes turned fury as he held the wounded girl in his arm.
He rolled his sleeve and attracted a stone to his hand.
Then, he shattered the stone into a few pieces with his True Qi, before he snapped them out as if he were strumming a musical instrument!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The few Yuan soldiers, hit in the head by the stone pieces that were enshrouded in True Qi, instantly had broken heads and fell off from the running camels!
It was Flicking Fingers, a Perfect technique that Huang Yaoshi, Yang Guo’s sworn brother, created!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
“Kill him with arrows!”
Seeing that, a Yuan soldier, who was likely to be a minor leader, shouted and gave out commands.
After that, all the other Yuan soldiers took out their bows and shot at Yang Guo!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Furthermore, not only did the Yuan soldiers shoot at Yang Guo, but they were raining some of their arrows upon the convoy behind him.
“Ah! Ah…”
The refugees who were running off in panic became the Yuan soldiers’ targets too.
It had always been the Yuan soldiers’ policy in war that they must eliminate any possible threats in a battle!
For someone as strong as Yang Guo, it wouldn’t have been a problem for him to avoid those arrows if he were alone.
However, the situation was rather tricky at this moment.
It was because the baby girl he was holding was so gravely wounded that he dare not pluck the tip of the spear from her abdomen although he had broken the spear’s body, or she might be killed immediately.
Flicking Fingers was a powerful technique, but its attack range was not nearly as far as that of arrows.
Besides, one of his hands was occupied by the baby girl, so it wasn’t easy for him to deal with the Yuan soldiers’ arrows!
“Roar!”
Exactly at this moment, a dragon roar echoed behind Yang Guo, and in front of him, a white dragon-shaped aura protected him!
Pop! Crackle!
The Yuan soldiers’ wooden arrows were all shattered after hitting the Dragon Aura. Their metal arrowheads were even bounced back to the Yuan soldiers!
Pew! Pew! Pew!
“Ah! Ah…”
Immediately, chaos and cries dominated the place.
After a yellow flash, Ji Ye appeared next to Yang Guo.
Splash!
The Flood Dragon Blood was activated, and the Dragon Aura pressure spread out and collapsed the camels close by.
Whoosh!
Following that, a white glow simply flew out at the Yuan soldiers who were rather panicked due to their mounts’ loss of control.
“Roar!”
The Jade Dragon Sword, covered in Dragon Aura, turned into a Flood Dragon. Flying at a high speed, it would send Dragon Aura into the Yuan soldiers’ bodies the moment it cut their skin.
In the next moment, the Yuan soldiers’ necks and chests exploded and squirted out blood!
“Caw!”
At the very front of the convoy, a loud roar of a condor burst out. It could be seen that a heavy condor that had yellow-and-black feathers flapped its wings and raised a strong wind that deflected the arrows that were shot to the convoy.
Over these days, Yang Guo wasn’t the only one treated by Ji Ye. Ji Ye even had time to heal the Divine Condor too.
At the same time, he also offered some Sweet Dew and Stone Milk to the Divine Condor for the purpose of making acquaintance with the beast.
After all, if the husky could arrive at Ji Ye’s settlement, so could the Divine Condor that once followed Dugu Qiubai.
The bald hideous condor whose feathers were mostly gone previously had undergone a great change. The new black feathers on its wings were as hard as iron and could cut tigers and leopards apart. It was about to advance into Extraordinary Rank-7 too.
Ji Ye had an idea. What amazing changes would happen when the blood of the Divine Condor, which was theoretically Transcendent, was fused with the Golden Condor’s Boon Gene Enhancing Fluid?
“Brother Yang, give her to me!”
Ji Ye accepted the baby from Yang Guo. Although the baby was gravely wounded, she had been hurt by an Ordinary soldier and no extraordinary power was involved, so treating her was fairly easy.
Nevertheless, it didn’t mean that he would let go of those Yuan soldiers.
“Die!”
After handing the baby girl to Ji Ye, Yang Guo could finally unsheathe the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword on his back now that his hand was finally freed.
Boom!
Then, he swung his sword, and a wave of True Qi stormed out and almost covered the whole road, crushing the arrows of the Yuan soldiers before the sword really hit them.
After that, he jumped at the Yuan soldiers against the storm of arrows. He then waved his sword and cut a soldier as well as his camel into halves.
“Set up a battle formation!”
However, the Yuan soldiers were truly well-trained.
After only a short amount of time into battle, the loose camels were organized into a formation to resist Ji Ye and Yang Guo’s attacks.
Apart from those tall camels, several creatures who had wolf heads but horse torsos and hooves galloped close from one side of the Yuan soldiers.
The creatures, named “Wolf Horse”, had the agility of wolves and the stamina of horses. Their only shortcoming was that they were too short, and even their charge didn’t have a great advantage on the infantry.
However, the Yuan soldiers who were riding those Wolf Horses were all warriors who had cultivated inner strength.
At this moment, the few Wolf Horse riders, waving weapons similar to katanas, circumvented Ji Ye and Yang Guo and charged at the females in the convoy, hoping to finish them off while Ji Ye and Yang Guo were stalled.
“Amitabha!”
Someone suddenly made a Buddhist chant.
Reverend Yideng, who had been reciting sutras to appease the dead bodies all the way here, had rarely-seen fury in his eyes.
Cha!
Faced with the Yuan soldiers who charged at him, he extended his finger, and a yellow stream of True Qi flew out of his fingertip and hit the heart of a Wolf Horse rider a long distance away.
It was One-finger Death Touch, the Perfect martial art of the Duan family of Dali!
This baby actually triggered Reverend Yideng’s memory in the past.
Back then, Aunt Ying, who was still “Concubine Liu”, stabbed a dagger into the heart of her pale baby with a desperate smile after her hair turned white overnight because he refused to save the baby!
At this moment, the baby had a very similar wound…
No wonder he was so enraged!
Cha!
However, as a Buddhist, Reverend Yideng was still merciful, and he simply froze those Yuan warriors by flicking their acupoints.
Qiu Qianren, who had almost been killed by the Yuan soldiers earlier, wasn’t as benevolent as him.
Activating Water Walking, he turned into a ghost and slapped out iron auras from his fist. Green fist marks were left on the heads of the Yuan soldiers immediately. They weren’t killed immediately thanks to their helmets, but they were still flung away.
In addition, Aunt Ying, whose hair had turned black again, Little Dragon Maiden, and Zhou Zhiruo all got off from their wagons and joined the battle.
Now that the hero projections who were all Extraordinary Rank-6 and Rank-7 took action, it was obvious what would become of the Yuan soldiers.
Even the last Yuan soldier, who had been hiding in the wood without showing up and was ready to secretly flee to inform others, was detected by Ji Ye with the Mirage Cloud Mirror.
Then, the Old Kid jumped to a tall tree and shot the soldier’s mount down with the Serpent of Death, the sniper rifle that looked like a Barrett!
“Master, let’s head back!
“The Yuan soldiers’ camel cavalry was here, which means that their main troop might be around.
“Although we have destroyed one of their units, their main troop might be attracted to us.”
Even though they had secured a triumph, the middle-aged man who was hired as a guide remarked with worries while looking at the bodies of the Yuan soldiers on the ground.
“What are you scared of? We’ll kill all of them if they dare to come! We’re aiming to kill Yuan soldiers on the trip to Xiangyang anyway!”
Holding the bloodstained copper pipe, Shi the Fourth declared with great confidence.
He was truly very confident.
Thanks to Ji Ye’s guidance, he had already advanced from Extraordinary Rank-4 to Extraordinary Rank-5. With his physical strength that was as great as an elephant’s, he could even fight an Extraordinary Rank-6 expert.
That’s right, Ji Ye’s guidance was indispensable.
After about a month of learning and fusions, Ji Ye already had a deep understanding of the martial arts of this world.
In particular, his understanding of martial arts could even exceed that of their inventors after the fusions. He could even strengthen the skills he learned in the direction he wished!
Just like how Lu Zhishen was enlightened by the fusion of the Primordial Chaos Art and the Bulldozing Force, the arts that Ji Ye fused were greatly helpful to the hero projections.
The Perfect martial arts such as the Dragon Aura Fist even inspired Zhou Botong, who created another Perfect martial art named “Hollow Fist” by combining the Battle Aura he cultivated over these days and the Hollow Bright Fist!
Little Dragon Maiden, Aunt Ying, Yang Guo, Qiu Qianren… and even Reverend Yideng had also benefited from the exchange of knowledge with Ji Ye.
While being astonished that Ji Ye was truly a genius in martial arts, they were able to perfect their martial arts thanks to his enlightenment!
Since their cultivation couldn’t be accelerated with EXP, they hadn’t made any breakthroughs yet, but they had all been more or less strengthened.
Even if the Yuan army sent an army to chase after them for this, it would be much easier for them to handle the pursuers.
“I don’t think it’s very likely that the Yuan army will send a troop to hunt us. This is our territory anyway. Now that the two countries are confronting each other, Xiangyang City will definitely take reaction if the Yuan troops are massively mobilized!”
Shi the Third, who had been cured by Ji Ye and chosen to come with Ji Ye, proposed another opinion.
But just to be safe, Ji Ye asked Mister Bug, who had learned how to ride a horse, to go ahead of the team and inform Elder Meng in Xiangyang City to make preparations!
“Drive the camels back and leave them to the refugees!”
Then, he looked at the camels on the battlefield who were still laden with food and instructed the people from the Manor of Beasts.
When the Yuan soldiers came, the refugees all fled, but they couldn’t have run far when they were hungry and didn’t have any daily necessities.
With True Seer, Ji Ye sensed that a lot of people were looking at the battlefield with thirst and fear in their eyes from behind the rocks and trees.
Ji Ye’s team had carried sufficient food, and they didn’t need those slow camels either, so they could only be left to the refugees.
However, it was hard to say if it was really a good thing for the refugees.
After one unit of food collectors was gone, the Yuan army might send someone to check it out.
If those refugees were smart, they would fetch some of the food and flee away.
However, who would only fetch some food when there was so much food available?
Even if the Twin Dragon Mount fort explained it to the refugees, Ji Ye was certain that they would never give up so much as one handful of food.
Therefore, Ji Ye simply asked the servants of the Manor of Beasts to drive the camels further away so that it would be less dangerous for the refugees.
“It’s mine! It’s mine!”
After the wagons were gone, the refugees who were hiding behind the rocks and trees instantly ran to the road and fought for the dead camels as well as the food they carried. Some were even taking off the leather armor of the dead Yuan soldiers on the ground!
