Chapter 126: Yang Zhi’s Ability

“Attack!”

However, although Elder Meng was very clear-sighted and had sabotaged the Metal Men’s plan by studying Ji Ye’s information—

They still had to fight the real battle.

After all, the humans were attacking someone else’s territory, and the Metal Men had the advantage when it came to defending their city!

“Ah!”

A settlement soldier in the right flank led by Wu Song screamed.

After the ambush started, the Metal Men chose to focus their attack on the right flank led by Wu Song and Gongsun Sheng.

The metal blades’ power was no longer held back, and their speed had been greatly improved. A settlement soldier’s red wood shield was shattered, and even the double armor couldn’t withstand all the Extraordinary-level attack.

The metal pieces with blue lights not only moved much faster than the ordinary ones, they could even change their directions in mid-air while controlled by the Metal Men. Even a Perfect-level Hero like Wu Song found it difficult to handle the blue light bomb daggers.

After all, even if he could aim at the trajectory accurately with his stunning saber technique and could stop the blue light daggers by force when they changed directions—

He couldn’t avoid the following electric current explosion and the metal shards.

Luckily, they had guessed that something like this might happen, so everyone who entered the territory had been given a Soul Jade that had been modified by Ninth Uncle. The activated green barrier could withstand the shattered metal pieces for a while.

Moreover, just like the Metal Men had shown their weaknesses on purpose, the humans had kept something in secret as well.

During their advancement tonight, only Chu Yin, Nie Xiaoqian, and Ji Ye, who had exposed themselves that afternoon, had launched attacks. The rest were only defending themselves, which was also a way to keep their soul attack weapons a secret.

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

After activating the green barrier to block the shards of the blue bomb dagger flying at him, Wu Song stepped out with his master skill, Jade Ring Steps, Lovers’ Feet. Moving as quickly as a streak of lightning, Wu Song suddenly ran out of his formation and ran after the Metal Man that had attacked him.

“Roar!”

Aiming at the course of the Metal Man, he gave a wave of his Tiger Soul Saber, and a streak of cold blue saber energy surged out of the black blade, hitting the Metal Men that looked like a skateboard.

During the past few days, Wu Song had studied this Perfect-level weapon inside out. Although it was only a streak of saber energy, needless to say, the Netherworld Soul Flame could do great damage to such creatures with weak souls.

Although there was no obvious injury, the blue light suddenly disappeared from the skateboard Metal Man. It flew on for a short moment before it fell down to the ground!

“Quick!”

Wearing a Daoist robe, Gongsun Sheng melted the bomb saber with a streak of lightning. He then threw out the Mirage Dragon Sword in his hand!

Crackle…

The next moment, the Extraordinary Rank-4, Perfect-level sword flew in the air with a streak of white mist behind it. But there was a flickering streak of energy with rumbling thunder.

Normal lightning didn’t mean much to the Metal Men who had mastered the electromagnetic power, but the Soul Thunder triggered by Gongsun Sheng’s Mirage Dragon Sword was targeting souls in particular.

As for the flying speed…

Rumble…

A Metal Man in the shape of a millstone was immediately caught up by the Mirage Dragon Wu Song while flying. The blue light flickered in the mist filled with rumbling thunder. Immediately after that, it joined the dead Metal Man that had been attacked by Wu Song.

However, the hero that was most effective in suppressing the Metal Men was neither Wu Song nor Gongsun Sheng, the Perfect-level ones.

Instead, it was Yang Zhi, the “Blue Faced Beast”, who was of the Superior level.

“Die!”

Compared with Wu Song’s right flank that was under major attack, the left flank led by Yang Zhi was suppressing the Metal Men instead.

Because the Extraordinary Rank-5 Black Mountain Armor was completely sealed, even the blue light bomb daggers couldn’t breach his defense.

Moreover, once the extraordinary power of his Black Mountain Saber was activated, it could make the bomb daggers lose their blue lights when they flew into a certain range. When they could neither explode nor change the direction, it was very easy for Yang Zhi, an Extraordinary Rank-5, to stop such flying daggers.

However, what really suppressed the Metal Men was what happened after he activated the Extraordinary power of the Black Mountain Armor.

Boom!

Heavy smoke that represented the soul power rose out of the armor, forming a black figure with closed eyes as tall as 3 meters. The energy it gave off wasn’t much weaker than the Soul Alpha Wolf next to Ji Ye.

Because the face of that figure belonged to none other than Black Mountain, the fierce human general of the cultivation world!

“No… it shouldn’t be him. It should be me!”

However, Yang Zhi shook his head under the helmet.

The next second, the face of the figure formed by the soul power suddenly changed into Yang Zhi’s own face.

Hum!

Once the black figure opened its eyes, the energy of someone who had seen cruel battles together with a large amount of black smoke that contained the soul power instantly poured out, covering the Metal Men on the other side.

The fighting desire!

That was the special ability Yang Zhi obtained after he reached Extraordinary Rank-5.

He had endured Black Mountain’s trial and had comprehended his own fighting desire.

Strictly speaking, it was also a type of mental attack. Because the Black Mountain Armor was dropped by Black Mountain Armor in its Netherland General form, the attack it issued also had the characteristics of a soul attack.

To the Metal Men, who were weak in both their mental power and soul, such an attack that wasn’t supposed to exist in their civilization was doubtlessly fatal!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The six Metal Men who blocked the way of the right flank of the Twin Dragon Mount dropped down like dead meat, and the sparks created when they scratched against the ground lit up the black figure over Yang Zhi’s head.

After the Metal Men fell, Yang Zhi waved his Black Mountain Saber at them.

Behind him, the black figure filled with his fighting desire waved the saber in its hands in the same way!

Hum!

A black smoke containing soul power surged out in a fan shape, instantly killing the closest two Metal Men who had fallen to the ground.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

In the army behind Yang Zhi, there were the settlement soldiers who had soul attack weapons, as well as the well-protected Ninth Uncle, who was unharmed.

They launched their attacks all at once, and it all landed on the remaining three Metal Men.

That immediately sent a shiver down those Metal Men’s bodies before they went completely silent.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

The sudden change made the blue lights on the Metal Men on Wu Song’s side flicker rapidly. Doubtlessly, they were communicating with one another in the way of their race.

There weren’t many Metal Men. So far, only over 30 of them had shown up, including those Ji Ye had killed. Theoretically, even if some were still hiding, there couldn’t be a lot of them.

That was only normal. After all, if every member of a race had reached the Extraordinary level, they couldn’t possibly be of the same number as that of a common Ordinary race.

That also meant that when Yang Zhi took out six Metal Men that was blocking the left flank of the Twin Dragon Mount, he had killed one-fifth of the Metal Men population!

Whoosh!

Well, not all six of them were killed.

The one that fell the furthest from the humans managed to roll into a hole on the metal ground, saving its own life.

The Metal Men had designed this battlefield to ambush the humans, and it wasn’t as plain as it seemed. Underneath it, there was also a very complicated tunnel system.

During the battle, Ji Ye let Soul Alpha Wolf climb into the holes and saw that they were all well-connected and could take one to every corner of the battlefield!

It reminded one of the tunnel warfare used by the Chidragon people once, only that the underground tunnels dug by the Metal Men were more like high-speed tunnels.

Because using their magnetic levitation ability, the Metal Men could give instant support to any position on the battlefield.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Therefore, after Yang Zhi defeated the Metal Men blocking the left flank, the Metal Men immediately transferred ten members that were attacking the right flank to this side!

Moreover, they changed their fighting style after that. They now moved around in the underground tunnels constantly to appear on the side and back of the humans to ambush them.

Without a doubt, that gave the humans, who had been gaining their ground, quite a lot of trouble.

Because at night, humans couldn’t make an accurate judgment of the Metal Men’s movements underground.

Even Li Qing couldn’t do anything about it. When facing this peculiar creature, his Combat Ability Detector could only obtain a Metal Man’s ability level when it appeared, but he couldn’t sense the enemy’s vital fluctuations like he detected the Sludge Monsters and the Mirage Monsters.

Moreover, there was another reason: the energy of his detector was about to run out.

The initial equipment that had helped the Twin Dragon Mount greatly was about to reach its maximum usage time.

“Let’s attack the settlement directly!”

With the help of the Soul Alpha Wolf, Nie Xiaoqian killed another Metal Men, but there was sweat on her forehead, and her mental power was growing weak.

Ji Ye glanced around the battlefield and spoke in a resolute voice.

Outside the settlement core, the Metal Men could indeed take advantage of their high mobility to move around underground and play the warfare game.

However, the settlement core itself couldn’t move!
