Chapter 526: Humans Versus Demons and The Four Heroes’ Talents

In the sky, a mass of red and black clouds were surging close, blocking the sky and the sun!

Boom, boom, boom…

On the ground, bull-like creatures that were about eight meters long were running on the ground. Their backs were as broad as a wall, and they were like moving fortresses. There was a pair of reversed horns on their backs. They were covered not in furs but in a black shell.

[Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bull]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: They’re the Hellish Giant Horn Bulls that have been corrupted by the demons’ demonic aura and transformed into special demonized creatures.]

There were a thousand such Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bulls.

When they were running, the earth shook from their weight. They also raised a sandstorm. Their target was a black magnificent mountain that was hundreds of meters high!

“Awoo!”

When the Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bulls reached the foot of the mountain, loud wolf howls came from the mountaintop.

Awoo! Awoo…

Following that, one Skeleton Wolf after another appeared on the Black Mountain. They were smaller than the Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bulls, but they looked just as intimidating.

Those Skeleton Wolves’ eyes were ablaze with blue ghost flames. There was no flesh on them but only gray bones. There was also a large black fur on each of their backs that looked like a saddle. On the saddles were illusionary ghost soldiers made of black fire of fury!

[Undead Black Mountain Wolf Riders]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-7]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: A special unit that Dragon City created with a combination of the ten thousand corpses in the Wolves’ Tomb and the enormous Yin energy inside the Black Mountain!]

“Moo!”

The enormous Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bulls approached the foot of the Black Mountain with surging sand thunderously.

They didn’t slow down at all. With their horns that were almost one-third their length, they crashed at the target like heavy trucks!

Boom!

The huge blast crumbled the stones on the Black Mountain, which had been hardened by the Yin energy and were as sturdy as metals. Some of the stones flew a hundred meters away and hit the Skeleton Wolf Riders like large cannonballs!

Whoosh!

However, the Wolf Riders were quite agile.

The Skeleton Wolves rushed to the foot of the mountain with soul flames in their eyes. Their limbs, shrouded in black mist, leaped quickly on the rocks and avoided the destructive cannonballs.

They stepped on the enormous horns of the bulls and reached their backs. Then, their sharp fangs bit the gaps on the bulls’ shell, causing the sound of a sharp weapon tearing apart iron. Large pieces of flesh and skin were torn off in sparks.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

While the ghost soldiers roared soundlessly, more than five thousand Black Mountain Wolf Riders were fighting the thousand Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bulls!

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

While the battle on the ground began, the red-and-black cloud in the sky also flew to the sky above the Black Mountain with earsplitting shrieks!

It was because it wasn’t a cloud at all, but a swarm of demonized creatures that looked like birds but without any features. They were more like bats with dark red eyes.

[Demonized Hellish Bats]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-0]

[Rarity: Elite]

[Description: They’re bats that the demons captured and modified. Usually, ten thousand of them act together. The soundwaves they cause can shatter all the obstacles in their way.]

Boom, boom, boom…

When the soundwaves hit the ground, the Wolf Riders that were fighting the bulls were greatly affected.

Whoosh!

One of the Skeleton Wolves was hit by the soundwaves. The soul flames in its eye sockets trembled, and it was slowed down for a moment.

Then, it was hit by the Demonized Hellish Giant Horn Bull’s horns and cracked into a hundred pieces because of the enormous blast.

Not just the Skeleton Wolves, the ghost soldiers were flashing under the soundwave attacks too, and their combat ability plummeted.

“Damn it, Zhang Fei is here! What do you think you can do, demons?”

After a loud roar, a bone dragon that was more than thirty meters long appeared on the mountaintop. Its pale bones carried dozens of spikes. Its wings were partly broken, but their sharp edges could easily cut apart stones. Black flames formed a thin membrane on the wings!

On the head of the bone dragon was Zhang Fei, who was wearing the Ghost King Armor that was surrounded by a black mist and keeping his eyes wide open!

“You are taking advantage of your number. That isn’t fair!”

However, if any players heard that, they probably would think something else.

Where did Zhang Fei learn that? He spoke correctly.

However, it seemed that he hadn’t been a fan of fair fights either.

When he fought Lv Bu earlier, he didn’t challenge Lv Bu to a duel. Instead, he fought the man with his two sworn brothers together. That was definitely not a fair fight either!

Of course, just kidding.

As a matter of fact, it was hilarious to pursue fair fights on a battlefield!

For Zhang Fei, who was known as a fearsome warrior, he didn’t really care if he was fighting the enemy fairly either!

Because fairness depended on the size of one’s fist!

Undoubtedly, Zhang Fei had huge fists.

“Roar!”

When he roared, all the black soul power above the Black Mountain was boiling. It gathered into an enormous face that was more than three hundred meters in diameter, which opened its mouth towards the Demonized Hellish Bats!

Boom! Boom!

A stream of soundwaves came out of the black face in a black fog.

As if a level-15 tornado was raging in the sky, the black cloud made of the Demonized Hellish Bats was consumed.

Pop! Crackle!

Countless Demonized Hellish Bats’ souls were obliterated by the roar, and they fell from the sky like rain droplets!

The previously blocked sky was cleared after the roar.

That was Zhang Fei’s talent ability—Bridge Breaking Roar.

Similar to Yang Zhi’s Fighting Will, it was a mental attack. Any target whose willpower was lower than Zhang Fei would be either traumatized or vaporized!

The roar alone eliminated ten thousand Extraordinary Hellish Bats, which indicated that Zhang Fei was as strong as Ji Ye when he fought the green Flood Dragon and the mermaids as the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

It had been half a year since the battle.

During the last half a year, due to the urgency of the Great Darkness, Dragon City had been expanding nonstop to accomplish the main quest of Road to Legendary!

As a top Transcendent hero, Zhang Fei was naturally a great warrior for the task. Not only did Ji Ye gave him the Black Mountain Stone, which was transformed from Old Demon Black Mountain’s core and could control the Black Mountain, he also fused the Wolves’ Tomb, a place that contained a tremendous number of Steelback Blue Wolves’ bodies, into the Black Mountain.

The Steelback Blue Wolves’ bodies, which contained a tremendous amount of soul power in the first place, were further strengthened by the Yin energy on the Black Mountain. Along with ten thousand ghost Wolf Riders, they formed a quite tough team.

Over the past half a year, the Black Mountain, which could move on its own, had destroyed seven alien settlements in total.

However, the demons that the Wolf Riders were fighting this time were very strong. Not only were they in the Transcendent level, but there were also Legendary warriors in their settlement!

“&#%#@!”

A Transcendent Hellish Giant Horn Bull King, which was particularly huge and carried a pair of red wings, appeared in the sky of the battlefield.

On its back, there was a creature who had a pair of scythe-like horns on its head, a triangular purple and red tail behind its back, and a whip ablaze with purple flames in its hands. It was a textbook demon from the abyss!

Also, it looked just as intimidating as Zhang Fei. After showing up, it marched towards Zhang Fei and his dragon at the mountaintop!

“Haha, great! Let me show you what I’m capable of!”

Zhang Fei widened his eyes with delight on his dark face. He showed no intention of dodging at all but simply raised his arm.

A rock on the top of the black mountain that looked like a snake head trembled violently.

There was a rumbling sound.

Then, it rose to the sky and turned into a black snake that was almost three hundred meters long.

After that, it transformed into a black snake spear whose glittering eyes emitted green light and fell into Zhang Fei’s hands!

[Ba Snake’s Spear]

[Level: Transcendent Rank-5]

[Rarity: Quasi Legendary]

[Description: The Master of Dragon City killed a strong Ba Snake and refined its body into a weapon. It’s as heavy as a mountain and boasts shocking damage.]

“Come on!”

Holding the snake spear that was as heavy as a mountain, Zhang Fei waved his hand, and the tip of the spear enlarged and turned into a Ba Snake again, smashing towards the demon Commander on the bull!

“%$#@#*!”

The demon Commander wasn’t scared of the attack at all. He rolled the purple fiery whip and tied it around his arm before he punched out.

In the sky, an enormous purple fist that blocked half of the sky took shape!

Boom!

When they collided, the world changed its color, and wind and clouds drifted away.

The blast was so horrifying that the remaining Demonized Bats in the sky couldn’t endure it any longer and all exploded. Even the bulls and the Wolf Riders that were fighting on the ground fell on their knees due to the enormous pressure!

Only the mounts of the two experts, which had both reached Transcendent Rank-4, were able to resist the collision of the two experts.

They also attacked each other along with their masters.

“Moo! Roar!”

The demon Commander’s Hellish Giant Horn Bull swung its horns and cut off half of the bone dragon’s body, and the bone dragon spouted a mouthful of green poisonous fog with flames popping in its eyes, wreathing the bull and significantly slowing it down.

“Bull Collision!”

“Energy Outburst!”

“Poisonous Breathing!”

“Wither and Exhaust!”

All kinds of battle techniques were launched. They fought all the way from the top of the Black Mountain to the bottom, turning a large area of the plain into a canyon!

That was only a small part of the whole battlefield.

If one were to look around from a high perspective, one would see battles everywhere within a radius of more than a hundred kilometers.

“Gua! Gua! Gua!”

In the sky twenty kilometers to the east of the Black Mountain, there were nine Transcendent Rank-2 Demonized Three-Legged Crows that were more than thirty meters long with three legs and covered in dark red flames.

They were flying from all directions towards a creature in the center, which was also ablaze with flames and had nine tails. It looked like the Vermilion Bird in the myths!

“I’ve been waiting!”

On the Vermilion Bird’s back, Taishi Ci, wearing red armor, pulled the Wind Thunder Bow in his hands to the limits.

A Flood Dragon made of lightning took shape on the string!

Whoosh!

When he loosened his finger, the sound of wind and thunder rumbled.

The lightning Flood Dragon roared and darted towards an incoming Demonized Three-Legged Crow, causing a huge hole in its chest and making it roar and fall from the sky.

Its body that carried dark red flames left magma on the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, the Wind Thunder Bow was pulled consecutively.

One lightning Flood Dragon lunged out after another, shooting down all the nine Transcendent Demonized Three-Legged Crows.

Taishi Ci’s talent was named “Unexhausted Warrior”, which allowed him to keep himself in the prime status for a long time. Obviously, the talent was similar to Li Yuanba’s Infinite Stamina.

That was why he could shoot nine times in a row and killed the same number of Transcendent Rank-2 creatures!

While Taishi Ci shot down nine Transcendent Demonized Three-Legged Crows in a row, waves were surging in the fairly large dark red lake down below. A lot of Demonized Fish that were covered in black scales surfaced and attacked the thousand fully-armed navy soldiers of Eastern Wu next to the lake.

“Gurgle!”

At the center of the lake, a tall Transcendent Demonized Fish, whose body carried golden glittering scales, leaped out of the lake.

After it revealed itself, it wagged its tail, and all the water in the lake was trembling. A tide almost ten meters was raised towards the navy soldiers, knocking down a hundred men easily!

“I’m waiting for you!”

All of a sudden, after an intimidating roar, a general who held a long spear stepped up from the navy soldiers.

He jumped to the sky, and the spear in his hand made of overlapping red dragon scales emitted magnificent Transcendent power and instantly transformed into an enormous Dragon Fish!

After that, the spear smashed down.

An enormous Dragon Fish descended from the sky too and almost shadowed the entire lake.

Boom!

The lake where tides were surging became still, and a thousand Demonized Fish were knocked into the seawater.

When they resurfaced, they all floated on the surface of the lake unconsciously.

The Transcendent Rank-4 King of Demonized Fish, which was as strong as the green Flood Dragon, was hit by the Dragon Fish Spear on the forehead and reduced to a golden fish that was more than a hundred meters long.

“The technique named Dominator’s Aura that the City Master gave me matches my talent perfectly!

“Nobody can possibly endure my one attack.”

Sun Ce, known as the Young Dominator, laughed aloud.

His talent ability was “Domination”, which allowed him to add fearsome strength to his attack.

He also obtained a cultivation technique named “Dominator’s Aura” from Ji Ye. At this moment, the vibe that he released in an attack could already knock out creatures that were much weaker than himself!

“I’ve won the battle here. Zhang Wenyuan[1], how is it going on your side? Are you losing?”

About ten kilometers from the lake, Zhang Liao, who was marching along with eight riders, heard Sun Ce’s voice from the SkyNet channel and remained expressionless.

“I’m here!”

In the sky in front of him, a red vortex a hundred meters in diameter that looked like a black hole was revolving continuously and sending dark red, smelly auras to a branch settlement of Dragon City down below.

“Ha! Ha! Ha!”

In the middle of the demonic aura, little demons that had pointy heads, big eyes, ulcerated skins, and looked like abnormal babies were laughing creepily and attacking the natives inside the settlement incessantly.

The guards of Dragon City, who mostly used arms, didn’t have many advantages.

It was because the demonic aura was as thick as water and could significantly slow down their bullets.

Some of the little demons even bit the bullets with their sharp dark red teeth and swallowed them as if they were beans.

Furthermore, because the red vortex was continuously filling the demonic aura in, all the human beings in the settlement would soon be demonized!

“Hahaha…”

Looking at Zhang Liao who had come for reinforcement, the little demons laughed at him sharply and provocatively.

“Do you not know that I’m best at frightening kids and stopping them from crying?”

Zhang Liao raised his eyebrows and drank up the alcohol inside the jade gourd that hung from his waist.

Then, his pupils turned vertical like those of a dragon and emitted dazzling golden light. He jumped from the galloping horse and slashed forward his Yellow Dragon Hook Blades with both hands!

“Imperial Dragon Slash!”

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Magnificent golden auras in the shape of dragons flowed out of the blades and crashed into the settlement.

Like fire consuming wax, they instantly evaporated all the demonic aura in the settlement!

Boom!

In the end, the golden aura even rose to the sky and destroyed the red vortex, which was the source of the demonic aura, in a blast that almost felt like a nuclear explosion!

“Ha…”

After the demonic aura that they had been hiding in was dispersed by Zhang Liao, the little demons, which were exposed to the air, instantly stopped laughing!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, they were all hit and shattered by the eight hundred elite soldiers of the Great Wei with their Raptor-V submachine gun!

It was worth mentioning that the same as Sun Ce’s “Dominator’s Aura”, Zhang Liao’s “Imperial Dragon Slash” was created by Ji Ye too.

Because his Fusion talent had reached the Transcendent level, there was a chance that he would receive items invented by the Chidragon civilization in every fusion session. He had gotten not just the Imperial Dragon Slash but also a lot of other awesome techniques…
