Chapter 1139: Chapter 789: Yang Dong!

In the abandoned village, monstrous creatures emerged one by one from the shadows. They were the evil spirits that lurked in this place, their twisted bodies and heads chilling to the bone.

Their number was ridiculously high, with Li Changhe already spotting no fewer than a hundred worm-faced monsters. Moreover, more of them were crawling out of every corner of the village. Some were even close to ten meters in size.

"To court disaster with the Big Iron Pestle in order to obtain the King’s Medal?" Wuji marveled as he watched the worm-faced monsters wander out from the ruins of the village, "With so many monsters, there should be a few medals at least. Impressive, General. I didn’t expect this could be a way to exploit bad luck."

"Heh, you should say, ’worthy of being an inheritor of the Jiuli General.’ Truly cunning!" The bronze sword behind him made a sound: "Be careful, their Black Fog seems to be some kind of death spell or curse. If you touch it too much, you might die instantly."

"No wonder there’s not a single other monster nearby. It seems these guys are even dangerous among monsters," Xia Yun responded.

"It’s time to show our true strength. I knew I’d have my moments to shine." The Big Iron Pestle chuckled, leaping down from the Siege Tower with a spear in hand. But upon landing, the stones beneath his feet inexplicably shattered, causing him to stumble and smash his head against the nearest stone wall. The broken stones from the wall fell precisely on the back of his head due to his collision.

For a moment, both the players and the worm-faced monsters were stunned. The scene went eerily quiet for a few seconds.

Then, without a word, Big Iron Pestle got up and wiped his face. He charged at the nearest worm-faced monster, which spat out Black Fog at the same time.

However, the spear in Big Iron Pestle’s hand swept through, blasting a gust of wind through the Black Fog. The wind forcefully dispersed the fog, and before the worm-faced could spit out a second mouthful, its disgusting head was pierced by Big Iron Pestle’s spear. That was the Elemental Martial Saint, Big Iron Pestle’s Title ability, which used the wind to form a spear tip and disperse the Black Fog while taking down the monster’s life. Despite his bad luck, his strength was undeniably impressive.

"This is what they call ’pride before a fall’, huh? Players with low Physique or slow reactions might have been crushed to death by now, right? How did you even survive to this level?" Wuji muttered under his breath. A semi-transparent flame appeared on his body as he floated in mid-air, with huge, sharp dragon claws emerging at either side of his hanging hands. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and several worm-faced monsters tens of meters away hadn’t even reacted before they felt a breeze. The next second, their upper bodies burst open. Wuji was tearing them apart directly with his Suspension Ability and superior speed combined with dragon claws. Li Changhe didn’t expect him to be so fast...

Xia Yun also jumped down from the tower, simultaneously lifting her black cloak.

One after another, sharp siege arrowheads appeared beneath her cloak.

Clearly, she didn’t plan to engage in close combat with these disgusting monsters. The siege chisels shot out one by one, piercing through the worm-faced monsters that hadn’t yet approached. These creatures apparently didn’t have much resistance to physical attacks and were directly pinned to stone walls or the ground by the chisels. Some of the less fortunate lost limbs and were left incapacitated.

"Really, you’re all too brute. It has to be more elegant than this."

Watching his three teammates efficiently slay the worm-faced monsters, Li Changhe commented, as three black hawks flew out from his shadow, his single foot touching lightly on the Siege Tower.

The previously still Siege Tower immediately began to rotate its massive axle, and the sharp blade at the front started to roll rapidly.

At the same time, the Bronze Throne appeared behind Li Changhe, and when he sat upon it, the semi-transparent circular barrier also emerged.

The Bronze Throne transformed and reforged itself, protecting the entirety of the Siege Tower and Li Changhe above it, turning the whole Siege Tower into something resembling a heavy-duty tank.

Subsequently, Li Changhe controlled the three black hawks in the sky to scout the surroundings.

Meanwhile, he directed the Siege Tower in a clumsy charge toward the worm-faced monsters slowly rising from the rubble.

A worm-faced monster over three meters tall had just stood up when it was knocked down by the Siege Tower, along with the stone wall in front of it.

The tens of tons of weight and the unforgiving sharp blade mercilessly sliced through it, reducing it to pieces in just a moment.

Meanwhile, more worm-faced monsters rose from the ground, spewing deadly Black Fog towards the Siege Tower.

But this had no effect on Li Changhe within the protective embrace of the Bronze Barrier. The Black Fog, perilous as it might be to players without countermeasures, failed to penetrate the Bronze Barrier and the Tiger’s Might Shield.

Instead, as the worm-faced monsters approached to spit their Black Fog, Li Changhe showed no mercy, directing the Siege Tower to charge right at them.

At the same time, the black hawks in the sky spotted some worm-faced about to emerge from the ground, and Li Changhe preempted their rise, crushing them into a pulp before they could even get up.

"And you have the nerve to call us brutes?" Wuji shouted down from mid-air, looking at the pulverized remains of the worm-faced monsters, "They’re turned into mash, hey!"

Compared to the other three, Li Changhe’s method was more efficient and savage.

After all, the three had to be cautious of the Black Fog and maintain a certain distance.

But Li Changhe simply drove the War Car straight into the Black Fog with two defensive barriers, mercilessly crushing the worm-faced monsters under its wheels. Each monster killed under the siege was mangled into dozens of pieces. It was a one-sided slaughter, and the gore was even more exaggerated than with the other three.

"However, now that the general sits upon the Bronze Throne, he doesn’t even need to lift a finger to crush the monsters. It indeed counts as elegant," said Xia Yun as she fired her shots and spoke.

"You’re his little fan girl. Naturally, you agree with whatever he says!" Big Iron Pestle dodged a streak of Black Fog and complained.

"No, no, no, even without this War Car, I would still be just as elegant," Li Changhe’s voice came from within the War Car, "Very few people get to see me when I’m not elegant."

This was hardly a lie; Li Changhe’s core tactic was to sit upon the Throne and shake people up while bombarding them with firepower.

Wasn’t that elegance? He could even spare a moment to write up a paper... ahem...

And very few indeed could force Li Changhe to step down from the Bronze Throne.

As the fight grew fiercer, the resistance from the worm-faced creatures also intensified.

At that moment, Li Changhe’s Black Hawk noticed something odd. There was a force in the sky above the canyon that pulled at it, making it difficult for the Black Hawk to ascend to great heights.

But now, an inexplicable pressure descended from the sky, forcing the Black Hawk to lower its flying altitude even further.

Meanwhile, Wuji also showed a change in expression and halted his attacks on the worm-faced creatures.

He sensed the anomaly in the sky.

Although this world was bizarre and dangerous, at night one could see two large moons, one red and one blue. Though they looked exceedingly strange, like a pair of giant eyeballs, the interwoven moonlight made it convenient for players to move around at night.

But at this moment, the moonlight was dimming.

The sky in this area was being covered by dark clouds.

What’s more eerie, the cloud was very close to the ground, even lower than a kilometer.

"Be careful, something is coming! It’s not human, and... there are many of them," Wuji immediately shouted a warning after receiving the notification from the copper sword.

And he looked toward the two figures that had emerged in the distance. He also knew that two more people were hiding in the shadows.

Four players of the Different Race!

"Ah, so that’s it," Li Changhe murmured softly, "Sorry to have dragged you all into this, it seems they’re here for me."

"Does the General know who they are?" Wuji asked in return.

"They can’t be mistaken. Old acquaintances. Or rather, old ’acquaint-fishes’..." Li Changhe withdrew the Bronze Barrier, yet still sat upon the Bronze Throne. In that moment, draped in the Dark Feather Cloak, his expression was hidden from the world, and nobody knew whether he was happy or worried.

But he addressed the distant figures, "Is Hailing Mountain too scared to face me and sent you to your death instead?"

Li Changhe knew who the newcomers were; the Sea Clan curse on his body was faintly stirring. Again, it was the players of the Sea Clan.

Indeed, they were old rivals...

"Your arrogance stems from your ignorance," a cold voice came from afar, "You’ve made yourself easy to find, the most-wanted of the Sea Clan, the chief culprit in disrupting the Road to Ascension for the seven clans, the unforgivable sinner who offended our Lord."

"And today is your day of death, for I, the first apostle of the Sea King, shall slay you here!"

"Great Wall Yang Dong!"

Li Changhe fell silent; then he facepalmed and finally couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

"... Pfft—idiot!"
