Chapter 59
Turned the Tide
Dangerous! Dangerous! Dugu Huangcheng’s eyes popped. He felt the chilling energy of death. The power produced from the level-two skill that Wang Gang performed just then frightened him.
“Thunder Snake Punch!” Dugu Huangcheng shouted and his thunder internal force surged out. His body was surrounded by bolts of electricity like tiny snakes. He gathered the internal force and clenched his fists. Bolts of lightning twined around them and formed dazzling white light.
“Kill him!”
Boom! In the air the attacks from Wang Gang and Dugu Huangcheng clashed and created a thunderous sound. Beams of white light shot out and an energy wave swept in all directions. It was a bit terrifying.
“…”
Jiang Li stared at the battlefield and clenched his fists. He started to become anxious.
Boom!
“Argh!” Dugu Huangcheng screamed. His Thunder Snake Punch was blocked. A powerful energy broke through his defense and his hand fractured.
Tap, tap, tap… Wang Gang also took a dozen steps back and was 10% damaged.
“Fire!” Jiang Li shouted.
Clatter, clatter… The Firearm Meches immediately aimed at Dugu Huangcheng. The bullets shot down like raindrops.
“Protection Shield!” Dugu Huangcheng yelled. He mobilized his internal force forcefully to form a light shield that enveloped his entire body. The bullets hit the light shield and formed many ripples on it.
Bang! The Protection Shield cracked.
Poof! Poof! Poof! Blood splashed everywhere. There were over a hundred gunshots on Dugu Huangcheng. Blood oozed out from the wounds, covering his whole body.
“Argh! Shoot! Shoot!” Dugu Huangcheng shouted, “Aim at Jiang Li! Kill him! Kill him!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In a heartbeat, a hundred archers all aimed at Jiang Li. The arrows fell from the sky above Jiang Li’s head.
Swish! Swish! Swish! The perfected-stage Cold Weapon Mech next to Jiang Li rushed ahead with blade and sword in his hands, blocking all the arrows.
“Asshole!” Dugu Huangcheng’s eyes became red. “There’s a Martial Artist of perfected-stage level one next to him.”
“Wang Gang, kill him.” Jiang Li stared at Dugu Huangcheng coldly.
Boom! Wang Gang sped towards Dugu Huangcheng fiercely and performed the combat art to approach him as fast as possible.
“!!!”
Dugu Huangcheng widened his eyes and fell back quickly.
“Kill!”
Swish! Swish! Swish! A dozen perfected-stage meches came behind Dugu Huangcheng to block his way out, besieging him with Wang Gang.
“Argh!” Dugu Huangcheng let out a cry.
Facing such a situation, there was nothing he could do. Wang Gang punched him in his chest and the power of the pulsation went into his organs. He fell and rolled on the ground for a dozen meters, spurting out blood. There were even fragments of his organs in his blood. He was severely injured.
“My Lord!”
“He lost.”
“Well…”
The City Guards were frightened when they looked at Dugu Huangcheng on the ground. These City Guards were trained by Dugu Huangcheng himself, so they were loyal to him. That was why they betrayed the Qian Dynasty with Dugu Huangcheng. Those who weren’t willing to had been killed.
“Dugu Huangcheng lost.”
“We won. Chief Jiang won again.”
“Hahaha…”
“That’s wonderful…”
Hong Tianqi and the others cheered.
“Chief Jiang is really wise. When the battle began, he purposely didn’t send out the level-two Martial Artist so the enemies were caught off guard. He used his trump card at the most critical moment to turn the tide completely. He defeated Dugu Huangcheng and led us to victory,” Hua Tian said in awe. “Chief Jiang is impressive.”
“All hail Chief Jiang!”
“All hail Sirius Gang!”
Everyone shouted.
“Hei Zong, you’re finished,” Dong Lin said with his glittering eyes. “Dugu Huangcheng lost. There’s only you left. You’ve already lost the battle.”
“Losers! Losers! You’re all losers!” Hei Zong yelled. He started to back away. He stared at Jiang Li with red eyes that were full of viciousness and hatred. He couldn’t wait to tear Jiang Li apart.
If it wasn’t for Jiang Li, his plan would have worked. The army from Pingding City would have been annihilated, and the Monsters from Green Scale City and the Barbarians from Deserted City would unite. By then they would be able to conquer Yongan City and Pingding City, then take down Black Dragon County of the Qian Dynasty with the army of the Monsters.
Now however, all the plans, traps and dreams were gone. All gone.
Jiang Li messed up everything. He attacked the military camp of the Barbarians, killed Man Xiong and defeated Dugu Huangcheng. Right now the situation had completely changed.
Jiang Li had two level-two soldiers, while Hei Zong was the only level-two soldier left on the side of the Monsters and Barbarians. Hei Zong and the others were at a disadvantage.
Swish! Jiang Li opened the Dominator Panel again. He had got ten Soul Tinders and he could merge them together again.
“Merge.” Jiang Li merged the Soul Tinders.
Buzz!
“Merging. 10, 9, 8, 7…”
“Fall back!” Hei Zong yelled. He gave an order while the energy of his blood surged. His entire body was enveloped in light crimson mist.
“Fall back, fall back…”
“Go!”
The Monsters shouted.
So the monster army from Green Scale City started to escape from the battlefield.
“You can’t go. You can’t retreat.”
“If you retreat, what can we do?”
“Aren’t we an alliance? How can you retreat just like that?”
“…”
The warriors of the Barbarians yelled.
“Kill them!”
“Brothers, it’s time for us to fight back.”
“Kill those animals.”
“Hahaha…”
Hua Tian, Hong Tianqi, Li Xin and Ge Dinglai burst into laughter. They all ran after the Monsters and Barbarians.
“Commander Hao Tian, what… what should we do?”
The City Guards were helpless and confused.
“Run!” Hao Tian glanced at Dugu Huangcheng. “We have so many people. As long as we’re alive, we can still occupy a mountain and be the boss there.”
“Okay.”
“Commander Hao Tian, we’ll listen to you.”
“Go, go.”
“…”
The City Guards nodded.
“Hao Tian, where do you think you’re going?”
Bang!
Hong Tianqi shouted as he rushed ahead to stop Hao Tian. With his right hand he was holding his crescent painted halberd, which was covered in thick, fresh blood. He was surrounded by black mist that was full of viciousness.
