Chapter 211: Power of the Dragon-Subduing Strike
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, there were players and heroes on the Yuan army’s side too.
Faced with the remote attacks of Xiangyang City, they didn’t hide anymore but initiated counterattacks.
One of their slings had been throwing regular stones, but all of a sudden, the stones were replaced by black stones that had black smoke popping up.
After they were thrown to the city walls and shattered, they filled a large area with burning and sparking smoke. They deprived the gunners and artillerymen on the city walls of their vision, making it impossible for them to fire again!
Splash…
Also, the heavy arrows launched by the Yuan soldiers’ ballistae were covered in flickering runes and yellow light.
After they hit the city walls, they penetrated the hard walls as if the walls were made of tofu. The gunners and artillerymen behind the walls were flung away too!
“Roar!”
When that happened, a dragon roar suddenly echoed.
A man whose face was obscured dashed at the slings and ballistae from the city walls that were thirty meters tall in the middle of hovering illusionary dragons.
“Stop him!” a Yuan general roared aloud.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Because it took time to prepare and readjust the ballistae and the slings, the Yuan soldiers who heard the instruction tried to block him with arrows. A hundred of them shot arrows at the green shadow at the same time.
Pop! Crackle!
However, as if it were made of storms, the green dragon-shaped shadow consumed all the arrows that were fired at it. They could not hit the person in it at all.
Boom!
On the other hand, the green dragon-shaped shadow exploded among the Yuan soldiers and annihilated a large area of soldiers with the hundreds of arrows it just absorbed.
“Let me stop him!”
At this moment, one of them roared.
He was a Yuan hero who had a golden bald head.
“Elephant Prajna Art!”
He simply stood behind a ballista and activated a technique. The image of a golden long-nosed elephant was condensed by the golden light from him!
This hero was extremely sturdy, and the golden light on him was similar to the aura of a Buddha. He wasn’t really hurt when a cannonball hit him from the wall of Xiangyang City.
Now that he had fully activated his art, he was as hard as a real man of metals.
“Can you block this?”
The shadow who had destroyed a circle of Yuan soldiers around him with the dragon aura declared with a magnificent voice.
As he talked, he slapped his right hand forward.
“Roar!”
The roar of a dragon was caused when the True Qi collided with the air. A colorless dragon-shaped aura was invoked and launched at the Yuan hero who blocked the way with a metal body.
Splash…
However, while the dragon-shaped aura flew, the stones and sand on the ground rolled into it crazily and gathered into a concrete yellow dragon before it hit the roadblocking Yuan hero.
Boom!
When the yellow concrete dragon and the illusionary image of an elephant collided, the elephant collapsed after only a moment of impact.
The Yuan hero who blocked the enemy confidently was flung back onto the ballista while he vomited golden blood.
Following that, the ballista that was attacking the city was struck and shattered into pieces by the violent yellow dragon made of raging sand!
“Dragon-Subduing Strike!”
Ji Ye’s eyes were glowing as he floated above the wagon with the white Dragon Aura under his feet.
He was still outside of Xiangyang City, so it was clear that the dragon-shaped shadow that broke out of Xiangyang City wasn’t him, but Guo Jing, the commander of Xiangyang City who was capable of the Dragon-Subduing Strike that was known as the best external martial art of the world!
This technique was undoubtedly one of Ji Ye’s central objectives on this Battlefield of Providence.
The reason being that, while the Dragon Aura Fist was also Perfect and powerful, it had flaws in other aspects.
If he could acquire the “toughest fist technique” in the world and fuse the two, he would be able to make up for the flaws.
Also, more importantly, this fist technique was associated with dragons too.
The Dragon-Subduing Strike suggested that it was powerful enough to subdue a dragon.
The name might be a slight exaggeration. After all, the real dragon could be a Legendary if not a Mythical creature, not something that a wuxia expert could take care of.
However, according to the original novel, the mysterious expert who created this art had a grudge with a Flood Dragon because of a roasted chicken.
So, he specifically created a martial art to tame the Flood Dragon, except that the Flood Dragon was as powerful as this expert and wasn’t defeated. During their fights, they had a better understanding of each other and became friends.
In the end, the mysterious expert changed his original purpose and melted the appearance, the personality, and the will of the Flood Dragon into this martial art.
Therefore, although it was named Dragon-Subduing Strike, half of the moves were named after the dragon, whose appearance was the core of this martial art.
For example, there were Dragon Regrets, Dragon Flies, Dragon Leaps, Dragon Rages, Dragon Swings…
The move with which Guo Jing jumped from the city wall into the Yuan formation could only be “Dragon Flies”, and the dragon that he created to destroy the ballista when he fought the golden Yuan warrior was likely “Dragon Rages”…
As a martial art that was created based on the experience of two Transcendent experts, it was not hard to imagine how powerful it was.
It must be noted that the Dragon-Subduing Strike in Guo Jing’s hand was the weakened Extraordinary version, but it was already extremely powerful!
After killing an enemy hero with a slap and destroying the Yuan ballista, Guo Jing did not even take any rest when he used the third move of the Dragon-Subduing Strike!
“Roar!”
The force of the fist roared again like a dragon.
However, it was not “sand” that the fist force changed this time; it was “water”!
Because of the rain and snow the previous night, a lot of water was still left on the ground, and the previous “Dragon Rages” removed a lot of soil before Guo Jing and caused a pit.
Under the new move of this Dragon-Subduing Strike, the water was attracted by the fist force and turned into a half-transparent water dragon more than ten meters long.
More importantly, Guo Jing had slapped both of his hands at the same time, upon which two transparent water dragons appeared in the sky.
One of them flew towards the Yuan people’s ballistae, whereas the other charged at the Yuan soldiers who were protecting the ballistae.
“This must be ‘Twin Dragons Emerge From Water’, right?”
Ji Ye thought to himself.
Boom!
Under the blast of one of the transparent dragons, a Yuan ballista was crushed without any resistance.
Pa!
However, a white crystal spear appeared before the Yuan soldiers and blocked the other transparent dragon!
When the crystal spear hit the dragon shadow, it quickly froze the water that formed the dragon from the point of impact, until it was transformed into an “ice dragon” more than ten meters long.
Then, the ice dragon crumbled in the sky.
“The king is here!”
“Everybody, fall back!”
Seeing that, the soldiers who were already panicking because of Guo Jing’s astonishing dragon-shaped aura were apparently delighted.
They all retreated as fast as possible.
It was because, while shattering the transparent dragon, the crystal spear significantly lowered the weather temperature too and even covered the ground with ice.
“He’s the Yuan people’s East King, as well as the Yuan emperor’s biological brother!”
It was said that the four kings of Yuan were all top martial artists who were capable of using special skills or divine weapons.
The East King, as the emperor’s biological brother, used a silver weapon that could cause a snowstorm in June!
Naturally, such a snowstorm in June had nothing to do with anyone being wronged. Instead, it was because the spear was a “special” weapon.
