Chapter 223: Wu Song’s Transcendent Equipment

Boom!
One of Xiangyang City’s military camps exploded in a huge noise, with abundant flames spreading out.
Boom!
Then, the flames gathered into what appeared to be a bird in the sky. It was ablaze with white fire.
It was raining at this moment, but even the raindrops had been vaporized into smoke by this fiery bird.
The fiery bird even flew at the camps around and ignited many of them in the blink of an eye, causing quite a commotion.
“What is this monster?”
“The enemies are here! The enemies are here!”
“Fire! Fire! Everyone, put out the fire!”
Chaos was escalating in the camps, and the soldiers would be out of control at any moment.
“Roar!”
All of a sudden, a soul-stirring roar echoed in the camps and suppressed the havoc throughout the camp.
“It’s the assassins of Yuan! Everybody, stick to your position. Don’t shout and don’t yell, or you will be executed!”
Then, the voice that belonged to Wu Song echoed, and an illusionary ferocious tiger that had a pair of eyes that were as sharp as blades and wings where blue flames were burning rose to the sky.
Boom!
The tiger crashed into the fiery bird and collapsed it.
Clang, clang, clang…
Next, it was the noise of the collision of weapons and limbs that echoed in the area that was already on fire after the explosion.
“Roar!”
After only one minute, a person who was riding a cloud made of Dragon Aura arrived.
At the same time, the rain that was sprinkling from the sky was deviated and concentrated on the burning tents, putting the fire out quickly.
“Chief Wu, are you alright?”
Ji Ye landed and shouted at the smoking battlefield that had almost been reduced into ruins by fires and battles.
“Thank you for your concern, Master. I’m only mildly hurt. It’s fine!”
With his expression as natural as before, Wu Song walked out of the smoke. There was a shallow wound on his chest, and his Radiant Gold Saber was dripping the blood of the Yuan assassin!
Ever since Yuan’s last failure and loss of two kings, assassinations had been taking place on a daily basis.
In particular, the heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, such as Wu Song, Lu Junyi, and Ruan Xiaoer, who had taken control of some troops of Xiangyang City for their outstanding performances in the previous battle, all suffered Yuan’s assassinations.
What happened on this day was rather easy to deal with. Unexpected attacks from the distance, poisoning, and curses were actually greater threats.
For example, Ruan Xiaoer grew famous for killing the Water Demon leader and was promoted in the navy, but he suffered three waves of assassinations in a day. If Ji Ye hadn’t arrived in time, he might have become the first of the Twin Dragon Mount’s heroes to quit the Battlefield of Providence.
However, it was something that they had to be faced with. After all, they were in more advantageous positions, so they had to take greater risks.
“Thank you for your aid, Reverend Cien!”
Fortunately, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had clear advantages compared to other settlements.
One of the advantages was exactly “Reverend Cien”, who walked out of the smoking battlefield after just killing a Yuan assassin.
It was Ji Ye’s idea to ask the few Extraordinary Rank-7 experts to protect the commanders of the Twin Dragon Mount.
Regular assassins couldn’t accomplish their task at all when their targets were protected by such top experts.
More importantly, because of those hero projections, the generals of the Twin Dragon Mount fort were indirectly protected by the players of other settlements.
Ever since the Twin Dragon Mount fort arrived in Xiangyang City, the hero projections that came with them had caught the attention of the players from other settlements, who tried their best to approach them.
After discussing with Elder Meng, Ji Ye simply granted their wish. He wouldn’t stop them from getting in touch with the heroes as long as they weren’t too outrageous.
Because those heroes had promised Ji Ye that they would help protect the generals, the players who attempted to approach them had to join the army too and couldn’t just stand by when any assassinations took place.
It was also an open trap that those players couldn’t avoid as long as they wanted to get the heroes!
Of course, for the Twin Dragon Mount fort, the hero players and the players in the battle were just external help, and it was the best solution to make themselves stronger.
For example, by improving their equipment!
In the battles over the days, the Twin Dragon Mount fort had slain the Yuan kings and dozens of battle participants and acquired a lot of spoils. At this moment, every hero of the Twin Dragon Mount fort who was in a critical position had multiple items above Extraordinary Rank-5. Some of them even contained Transcendent power.
Ji Ye didn’t gather all the items that contained Transcendent power on himself, because those items could only be used at a cost. For example, the Totem Wolf Skin consumed soul power, and the Mirage Dragon Pearl consumed Dragon Aura and mental strength…
Theoretically speaking, the items that consumed the same type of power, unless they had special features, would be best to allocate to those who didn’t have any.
Although it was hard for other people to activate the special abilities of Transcendent items, it was not impossible. Just like the Wolf King could activate the Totem Wolf Skin with blood sacrifice, other people could get to know the items that contained Totem Wolf Skin and carry out their power!
For example, a tiger tally was hanging on Wu Song’s armor at this moment.
Well, it wasn’t the emperor’s tiger tally that could mobilize troops.
Instead, it was a “battle tally” made of a piece of red metal with a vivid winged tiger engraved to it.
[Bloody Tiger Battle Tally]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: This is a battle tally that a great expert of the Black Blood Tribe made with the blood and soul of a Transcendent tiger he killed as well as the Bloody Gold. It’s an excellent treasure.]
Although Wu Song didn’t know how the Black Blood Tribe controlled it, and he hadn’t fully grasped this “tiger tally” yet, he could invoke its power through the echo of the extraordinary power inside his Tiger Soul Saber. He could awe the enemy by letting out a tiger roar that contained Transcendent power, making it possible for the enemy to block his strongest first attack.
This tiger tally could even turn big and grow into a real “winged tiger” to help him in a battle when the Transcendent power in it was activated.
Also, the tiger was rather powerful. When the Yuan player controlled the Bloody Tiger Battle Tally on the pirate ship, he could even briefly fight a top expert such as Zhou Botong.
“He’s still alive? It’s the fifth assassination today, isn’t it?”
“That is Wu Song, a Perfect hero! How can he be killed so easily?”
“The Twin Dragon Mount fort has too many advantages. Does balance mean nothing on the Battlefield of Providence?”
Of course, not everybody was happy that Wu Song wasn’t hurt and that he had killed the assassin indomitably.
For example, the players who had heard the noises and observed the battle from a long distance away were understandably regretful.
After all, if Wu Song was killed or heavily wounded, he would have to give away his job as a commander, and those players would have a chance.
When a battle participant died on the Battlefield of Providence, the price was to quit the City of Humans and lose the items they brought along. Their combat abilities on the Land of Inheritance wouldn’t be greatly affected!
Therefore, even though Wu Song was a highly-popular hero, someone still wanted him to die!
Ji Ye, who had also endured more than one assassination and coincidentally became “Adept” at True Seer, could vaguely tell what they were feeling through the eyes of those players.
He didn’t even need to feel to know what they were thinking. However, he knew that those people would only “think”, and they would not kill their own people unless something was wrong with their heads.
Therefore, he paid no heed to the observers and simply left after confirming that Wu Song was fine.
After days of assassination, his Fusion talent had cooled down again!
