Chapter 214 - Weird Scene

Chapter 214: Weird Scene

“What?!”
Of course, the West King, as the target of Gongsun Sheng’s lightning strike, was quite unfortunate.
He had the Transcendent skill that could transform his body into metals, yet he was killed by a lightning strike without being able to put up any resistance.
However, he actually had himself to blame, because the name of the skill was “Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Ten Feet of Gold”.
A high and protruding metal object was likely to attract lightning strikes, which was a common sense on Earth. If this West King had received basic education on Earth, he would’ve set up an enclosed Faraday cage to protect his metal body when he performed the skill.
Then, even though Gongsun Sheng’s divine lightning was powerful, the West King might have survived it safe and sound.
Therefore, it was important for every civilization to learn a thing or two about basic science!
“West King!”
Of course, nobody on Yuan’s side could figure out why the West King, who was known as indestructible with his metal body, had been killed by a lightning strike[1].
It happened too fast from when Gongsun Sheng took action to when the West King of Yuan was crushed.
As for the Yuan troops, the several hundred bodyguards who had come with the West King had no time to help him at all before their general was killed.
“Kill Guo Jing!”
“Avenge the king!”
At this moment, all of them had bulged and bloodshot eyes.
They roared with fury and surrounded Guo Jing, who had just finished another round with the East King and stopped when the unexpected accident happened!
“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him…”
The hundreds of soldiers who had remarkable inner strength and equipment surrounded Guo Jing in desperation and cut him crazily!
“Are you crazy? You dare to attack your lord?”
But when they attacked, the “Guo Jing” on their opposite side scolded them angrily with a familiar voice.
“Avenge the king!”
However, since their general had died, those bodyguards were too overwhelmed by grief to consider where the sense of familiarity was from.
All they could think of was to kill Guo Jing and avenge their king!
“Guo Jing is here!”
One of the bodyguards roared and slashed at the “Guo Jing” on his left side.
“Kill Guo Jing and avenge the king!”
Another bodyguard, whose eyes were also bloodshot, roared and attacked the “Guo Jing” on his right side with his weapon.
“Guo Jing, you can’t escape!”
There was another bodyguard who was charging at a “Guo Jing” who was attempting to escape on a horse.
The description of the battle was undoubtedly weird and chaotic.
But if one were to observe from the edge of the battlefield, one would see that the West King’s bodyguards surrounded the East King and were attacking him crazily and that the East King’s own bodyguards, who were supposed to protect him, were actually fighting each other.
It was truly a chaotic scene!
“Ha, ha, ha!”
Someone on the wall of Xiangyang City, Mister Bug, who was hiding well, put on a smile of satisfaction.
He was holding a familiar gourd that he aimed at the people down below.
However, it was not the black miasma that popped out of the gourd, because the miasma had already been used up in the final battle against the Eagle Men.
What was released at this moment was an Extraordinary gas that had no smell and was invisible. The gas was named by the Twin Dragon Mount fort as “Deluding Gas”.
What the Eagle Men released was a poisonous, hallucinogenic gas that used the Mind Deluding Mushrooms as key materials. After An Daoquan’s modification, the smell of the gas was significantly reduced so that its victims would be affected without them realizing it.
“Wait a moment… Wind Manipulating Spell!”
Those who were not involved in a game could often see it more clearly.
The players on Yuan’s side noticed the situation and changed their expressions.
Then, they triggered a minor tornado more than ten meters tall with the unusual skill, hoping to blow the Deluding Gas back into Xiangyang City.
“Over there!”
At another corner on the wall of Xiangyang City, Li Qing lay on the ground and looked through the scope of the Serpent of Death onto a player in the Yuan army who was riding a camel and holding what appeared to be a sandbox where a tornado identical to the one sweeping on the battlefield was floating.
Bam!
He pulled his trigger, and a bullet that was enshrouded in green light was pushed out of the barrel at a high speed.
The bullet was made of the Wind Bone, one of the Superior legacies that the Eagle Man Boss had dropped.
Boosted by the green light, the sniper rifle had a two-kilometer-long effective range of destruction while maintaining high precision.
More importantly, because the air resistance could be offset, the bullet’s momentum and power would not be diminished at all while it was enshrouded in the green light.
Pew!
Obviously, Li Qing’s target player hadn’t achieved the skill of “multitasking” yet.
He was so busy controlling the tornado to save the core hero on his side that he failed to protect himself, and the astoundingly fast bullet hit his forehead precisely.
After that, his head exploded in midair, and the sandbox in his hand rolled and fell to the ground.
Splash!
The “tornado” on the battlefield also rolled together with the sandbox, consuming a lot of Yuan soldiers and making the battlefield even more chaotic.
…
“I’ll attack the few wagons. I’m sure there must be important people in them.”
“I’ll go with you!”
However, since the battle participants on Yuan’s side had won the Ten-Species Competition quest, they weren’t all weaklings.
Their performances weren’t satisfactory on this massive battlefield due to their lack of experience.
However, they were confident in carrying out their full strength in a small battle.
Also, compared to the battle participants on the city wall and the important people protected by the army, the dozen wagons where Ji Ye was at, which were only defended by some fifty cavalrymen because most of them had charged out, were apparently better targets!
Therefore, after the battle went on for a while, more than twenty Yuan battle participants charged at the wagons from all directions.
