Chapter 364: Sword Energy, Saber Energy

“Roar, roar, roar…”

The array beasts of the Twenty-Eight Mansions kept pushing forward, and the Dragon City alone couldn’t stop the Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array from closing in.

After the two array flags were combined, many of the array beasts gained the ability of long-range attacks.

Although the ability wasn’t as impressive compared to their defensive ability, because they were large enough, their attacks could cover an incredible area.

For instance, the eyes of the Horn Wood Flood Dragon, the top beast of the seven Eastern Mansions, had turned silver-white after the beast was combined with the Jupiter war flag. After that, it shot a streak of lightning from its horns in the direction of the Twin Dragon Island.

Boom!

Although the city wall was built of hard reefs, the lightning strike still burned an area ten meters in diameter to the ground. It had also destroyed a fort barbette on the city wall, killing a few artillery battalion soldiers that didn’t dodge in time.

Luckily, both the lightning strike of the Wood Horn Flood Dragon and the beam the Hairy Head Sun Rooster used to take down the Golden Condor would probably cost a lot of the war flag’s energy.

Because of that, the Liao kingdom wouldn’t use such long-range attacks too often. Moreover, the array beasts’ giant bodies made them very easy to spot, and the defensive personnel in the Dragon City could always choose to dodge.

The problem was that, while people could walk away, facilities such as batteries, machine guns, strong crossbows, and catapults couldn’t be moved away.

Therefore, a lot of times, they had to face the attack head-on.

Whoosh!

A flaming red rock over three meters in diameter was flying toward the Dragon City.

It came from the Turtle Beak Fire Monkey, the sixth of the seven Western Mansions. It was a little similar in its appearance to the neighboring Three Stars Water Ape, but its attack was doubtlessly much more dangerous.

After combining with the power of the Mars war flag, it kept picking up rocks before hurling them at the Dragon City. Wherever the rocks landed, the temperature in the immediate surroundings would peak, creating explosions!

“Oh, no…”

Seeing the incoming flaming rock, Guo Wei, who was on the city wall, paled a little.

Because with the special trajectory a.n.a.lysis ability of his high-tech gla.s.ses, he already could tell where the rock was going to land.

It was going to be an ammunition depot that contained the Fire Oil.

“Everyone, back off!”

He warned the others.

He then activated the Quanzhen alacrity skill he tricked out of Zhou Botong in the battle of Xiangyang and leaped into the air. The sword he drew out was several times wider than a normal one.

[Heavy Sword]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: It was the weapon of Zhan Zhao, the Southern Hero of the Three Heros. It could create powerful sword energy that could cut through obstacles from distance away, but the arms would have to withstand great pressure in the process.]

Guo Wei had purchased this sword from the City of Humans with his own Civilization Coins. The description suggested that it was from the “Three Heroes and Five Gallants” background, and he had chosen this one because, in the Battlefield of Providence, he had been practicing the Mystic Iron Sword he learned from Yang Guo.

Hum!

As Guo Wei waved the Heavy Sword, a giant transparent sword about 10m wide emerged in the air and hacked down at the incoming flaming rock.

Boom!

Blinding white and red light immediately filled the air.

Although the transparent sword was shattered by the impact, the flaming rock had also broken into pieces before falling onto the city wall as a shower of flames. It did some damage to the city guards below, but it was much less severe than having it igniting the ammunition depot.

“Huff…”

However, while Guo Wei panted and landed on the city wall, he didn’t seem relieved.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two more flaming rocks were flying near and aiming at him specifically.

Because his daily job was technical a.n.a.lysis and research, he was only an Extraordinary Rank-7 at the moment.

The strike had drained his energy. Because he was worried that the flaming rock would still land on the ammunition depot if he simply split it into halves, he had strained his energy, forcing the rock to change its direction.

Because of that, he had almost stretched himself beyond his limit and still couldn’t recover his True Qi. Right now, he barely had any strength left to dodge.

Whoosh!

In the moment of life and death, a semi-transparent mound formed by the Earth Power about 7m in diameter flew out of the Dragon City from behind him.

With two loud thumps, the mound smashed both flaming b.a.l.l.s that had the attack ability of an Extraordinary Rank-8 soldier.

But the mound didn’t stop there. Carrying the flames and the black smoke, it smashed into the Turtle Beak Fire Monkey that was only less than 150m away from the city wall.

The impact blew the head off the giant monkey with eyes that could spit fire.

“Roar!”

Luckily, the monkey was formed by the power of the array, and its head wasn’t a vital part. Otherwise, the impact would have killed it.

Pew…

However, all 300 Liao soldiers surrounding the monkey suddenly blanched, and some even had blood oozing out of the corners of their mouths.

The power of the array didn’t come from thin air. As a matter of fact, it was provided solely by the generals and soldiers that formed the array. Both the attacks it generated and the attacks aiming at it would be evenly distributed to each individual.

Earlier attacks from the Twin Dragon Island’s guns and cannons were easily absorbed by the 300 people because they hadn’t reached Extraordinary Rank-8 yet.

But this mound had such terrifying power that it was able to injure the soldiers when it was spread out to all 300 of them.

“Roar!”

Despite the enhancement provided by the twin war flags, the Turtle Beak Fire Monkey wasn’t the only one whose attack had been blocked and had even been injured by counterattacks.

To the southeast of the Dragon City, Root Earth Rac.o.o.n Dog, one of the seven Eastern Mansions, was cut into halves by a streak of black-purple saber energy coming out of the city.

More importantly, the saber energy even breached the Earth Power that was known for its defensive ability and headed right for the war flag that was the core of the Liao array.

Had it not been for a Liao general on the back of a racc.o.o.n dog, who had reacted in time and blocked the war flag with his shield, the flag might have been cut down, and the Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array consisted of tens of thousands of people would have been destroyed.

Pew!

90% of the saber energy had been neutralized after it charged into the array, but the remaining power still struck the Extraordinary Rank-6 general off his mount. His shield split into half, and the first two layers of the standard triple-layered armor of the Liao general were cut open. The hide armor and the hauberk fell off, and only the innermost wrought iron armor remained intact.

“Yelü Bojin!”

“That saber energy was so frightening. I didn’t expect to meet such a formidable master in a small city like this.”

“The person who threw out that mound was equally impressive. It was able to suppress the power of the twin flags.”

Needless to say, the frightening saber strike had greatly intimidated the generals and soldiers of the Liao kingdom.
