Chapter 354: Spoils and “Wong Tai Sin”

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Pop! Crackle!

The furious power of lightning hit the hundred Wood Warriors that surrounded Ji Ye.

Instantly, the dark brown armor of those warriors splashed into pieces, and flames were also popping up.

Of course, it was impossible for Ji Ye to simply destroy the hundred Wood Warriors with his Extraordinary Rank-9 superpower because he had already used it several times and it couldn’t be as powerful as earlier.

However, Ji Ye didn’t really want to destroy those pine trees by force. The power of lightning that surged out of his body simply aimed at the black smoke that covered those pine trees.

It was because Ji Ye had realized that it was definitely not possible for Bao Daoyi to transform pine trees into humans.

That would’ve been a Transcendent power just like the Eye Painting Brush. Not to mention that so many pine trees had been transformed at one time, and all of them were so strong!

It was most likely to be an illusion that was made with the combination of an array and the black smoke.

So, all he needed to do was to destroy the black smoke that surrounded the pine trees with the power of lightning.

Exactly as Ji Ye speculated, after the lightning, which had the ability to annihilate evils, neutralized the black smoke, all the Wood Warriors in his eyes were gone, and he saw nothing but pine trees that had been cracked by his Dragon-Subduing Strike and burnt by the lightning.

Pew!

On the other hand, Bao Daoyi, who was shocked when Ji Ye suddenly performed his ultimate skill, was even more disturbed after Ji Ye suddenly destroyed the illusion with lightning, to the point that he lost control of the black smoke and could not completely disguise himself anymore!

“Roar!”

In the next moment, a glowing sword appeared and quickly tore the black smoke apart in dragon roars and flew towards Bao Daoyi’s head.

“Primordial Chaos Sword!”

However, Bao Daoyi reacted quickly enough and shrieked while he cast a spell.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword erupted from his back and charged at the incoming white sword.

His sword was as powerful as Extraordinary Rank-9!

Clang!

After a metallic collision, the Jade Dragon Sword, which had already been damaged the previous day, cracked into two parts after the collision.

“Not good!”

However, Bao Daoyi wasn’t delighted at all. Instead, his tiny rat eyes were full of fear.

It was because, although he had broken the Jade Dragon Sword, a transparent sword about one foot long suddenly burst out of the front part of the sword, brushed past the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword, and penetrated his heart!

A sword within a sword was a design that Ji Ye thought of when he crafted the Jade Dragon Sword, but it didn’t come in handy until the sword was destroyed.

After his heart was penetrated, it was naturally impossible for Bao Daoyi to maintain the array and the black smoke anymore.

The forest of pine trees was instantly cleared.

“Why do you know my skill?”

Bao Daoyi, who was trying to cover his chest while blood gushed out in between his fingers, fell against the trunk of a tree.

He stared at Ji Ye, who walked to him, with his rat eyes full of confusion.

“Because your disciple was killed by me earlier!”

Ji Ye had told him the truth, but it only made him even more puzzled.

It was because those villains were more like “monsters” on the Land of Inheritance. They didn’t have settlement cores, so they couldn’t acquire spoils after killing targets like the players and heroes could.

Therefore, it never occurred to him that “Zheng Biao” could’ve dropped his ultimate skill after Ji Ye killed him.

“How did you… Gu…”

Bao Daoyi had more questions to ask, but his throat and mouth had been filled with blood.

Finally, he cramped for a few seconds and fell to the ground with regrets all over his face. He had truly died with his eyes open!

[“You have executed Bao Daoyi (Extraordinary Rank-8, Commander). EXP received: 2,324. Honor received: 35. Civilization Coins: 1,000!”]

Sensing the notification in his head, Ji Ye picked up the two halves of the Jade Dragon Sword on the ground.

This sword couldn’t keep up with him anymore. Although he could repair it with Fusion, its materials were too flawed for him to fight with it anymore.

Fortunately…

Ji Ye extended his hand and grabbed the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword, which had a sheen of black light flowing on the surface.

He had acquired what was probably the most famous flying sword in Water Margin, so he didn’t really suffer any loss.

“Huh?”

However, at this moment, Ji Ye thought of something and stared at the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword for a couple of seconds.

Whoosh!

After that, a transparent mask popped up from his feet and covered Bao Daoyi’s body that had collapsed on the ground and lost all momentum.

“Ah!”

It was the shriek of a soul.

The black shadow of a soul suddenly erupted from the top of Bao Daoyi’s head and attempted to run into the cavern in the depths of the forest.

However, he was one step late, and the Soul Mask had already swallowed it.

Then, the mask turned into Bao Daoyi’s face and roared regretfully.

Bao Daoyi turned out to have been pretending to be dead. As a Daoist cultivator, he had apparently grasped the skill to let his soul leave his body.

Therefore, the death of his physical body didn’t mean his real demise.

Pew!

After the Soul Mask activated the ability of annihilation and destroyed Bao Daoyi’s soul in several seconds, another piece of information popped up in Ji Ye’s head.

[“You have executed Bao Daoyi (Extraordinary Rank-8, Commander). EXP received: 1,394. Honor received: 27. Rare Honor: 5. Civilization Coins: 1,200!”]

That was more like it!

Bao Daoyi was the National Advisor of the rebels anyway, and the previous reward for his kill obviously didn’t befit his ident.i.ty.

Why did Ji Ye know that Bao Daoyi was not dead?

Because he couldn’t see the stats of the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword, which meant that the sword still belonged to someone else.

Hum!

After he really died, a stream of yellow power of providence surged out of Bao Daoyi towards the settlement core of the Twin Dragon Island, just like what happened to Zheng Biao and the others.

A bright light that represented spoils appeared on the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword in Ji Ye’s hand.

On the other hand, two other spoils of war were surfacing on Bao Daoyi’s body.

The first one was a misty cloud that was a combination of black smoke and golden light.

[Black Cloud Golden Armor Air]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Superior offering]

[Description: This is transformed with the secret techniques Bao Daoyi grasped. Whoever receives it will have his expertise in Black Cloud Golden Armor Air.]

This treasure contained a fairly large amount of Bao Daoyi’s cultivation.

For the Daoists, using it could save them a lot of time in cultivating. It was definitely very valuable.

Unfortunately, it was an offering, which meant that Ji Ye couldn’t use it, just like how he couldn’t use Zheng Biao’s Golden Brick.

However, Ji Ye wasn’t really interested in absorbing Bao Daoyi’s cultivation.

After all, the Perfect Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique was already good enough to him.

He had only learned the Black Cloud Golden Armor Art because it was a Daoist technique and could serve as an option for fusion.

Furthermore, compared to the Black Cloud Golden Armor Air, the third ball of light that surfaced on Bao Daoyi’s body attracted more of Ji Ye’s attention!

[Secret Scroll of Jinhua]

[Level: Extraordinary]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: This is a record of some of the techniques that Chisong Zi pa.s.sed down. Unfortunately, the techniques were tampered with and gradually became evil. Still, they can be inspiring!]

Chisong Zi might be a strange name to most people.

But his other name, Wong Tai Sin, was definitely well-known.

Chisong Zi was originally called Wong Cho Ping and born in the East Jin Dynasty. He had been a shepherd until he was enlightened by a deity and became a Daoist on Chisong Mountain, so he called himself Chisong Zi.

It was said that he grasped a lot of divine techniques when he was alive, to the point that he could summon storms, turn stones into sheep, and transform pine trees into human beings.

Many people thought that the “Wong Tai Sin” that many natives of Chidragon worshiped was a weasel monster, but it was actually this almighty deity.

It was not hard to imagine that he was one of the top deities in Chidragon in terms of popularity.

Then, the “Secret Scroll” that was related to him on the Land of Inheritance was definitely more powerful than regular skills.

Ji Ye could totally fuse it with the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, and he could likely get another one or two powerful techniques!

“Study!”

Therefore, after Ji Ye grabbed it, he simply spent his EXP and learned the Secret Scroll of Jinhua.

After learning it, Ji Ye found that the Secret Scroll of Jinhua and the Black Cloud Golden Armor Art from Zheng Biao, just like Battle Aura and the Mirage Cloud Mirror, could be taught to other people of the Twin Dragon Island so that the overall strength of the settlement could be improved.

That did make sense. After all, both of them had been dropped during the advancement test of the settlement.
