587: Chapter 587 Wang Yao's Rampage

"Boom!"

A meteor plummeted, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and halting the great battle between the clones and the coalition forces.

A female Cultivator was startled by this scene and channeled all her Divine Sense to investigate.

"Cough, cough! What is that thing? How come my Divine Sense couldn't detect it?"

"Strange, even I cannot see it clearly!" A one-horned tiger scratched its furry head, equally confused by the current situation.

Meanwhile, those Cultivators who understood the situation had already quietly shielded the others behind them.

"Sis, why are we retreating? Are we not fighting anymore?"

The slightly younger boy looked at his sister pulling him back, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The young girl, however, had downcast eyes, her grip on the boy's hand tightening involuntarily.

"Are you stupid? The Divine Sense of those powerful Cultivators ahead is useless, which proves there must be a terrifying entity inside. We need to leave immediately."

"Roar—!"

The dust was dispersed by a tiger's roar. A magnificent, giant tiger appeared on the battlefield. Before the coalition forces could even feel fear, the giant tiger had already begun tearing into the clones.

The same scene played out in other directions, but compared to the coalition forces, who were too stunned to react, the perpetrators were the ones in the most panic.

"Whoa, why is this body so strong?"

Zhou Yan looked at Ke Yan's hands, breaking out in a cold sweat.

He hadn't used his full strength when trying to trick Arthur earlier, so now, suddenly exerting force, he wasn't quite accustomed to it.

He had originally intended to throw the star souls into the battlefield to help, but except for Room Sun Rabbit, which had high resistance and could fight immediately upon landing, almost every other star soul was stunned for a few seconds upon arrival.

Some with low health were almost killed by the impact of Zhou Yan dropping them, but fortunately, after binding them with red and blue potions, they recovered on their own.

Zhou Yan looked at the large number of repetitive models on the battlefield, looking just like copy-paste. If he didn't know they were clones, he would have thought some film crew was being lazy.

Zhou Yan wasn't worried about Arthur because he knew Long Tianxing would be fine. What he needed now was to resolve the pressure in the rear and then find a way to locate and heal one of their main damage dealers.

Recalling what had happened, Zhou Yan had originally led Long Tianxing and the others on a surprise attack, but who could have known Arthur also had a trump card.

After realizing Arthur had betrayed them, he decisively brought out the War Knight. The Eastern Region had just been spun around like a top by the Victory Knight, and now, in a different battlefield, they were about to be spun again.

Seeing the red knight flying in the air, holding a spear, Zhou Yan felt goosebumps. He immediately rushed to find Long Tianxing, preparing to use the ultimate move intended for the Victory Knight.

But Arthur was much more ruthless than Ma Hao; the first thing he did after releasing the War Knight was to strike them with a spear, leaving no time for them to react.

Just then, Xuanyuan Qingyao, bathed in flames, stepped forward and blocked most of the attack, and Zhou Yan only barely managed to block the remainder.

One must know that Zhou Yan's clone was at the Body Integration Stage, and even he couldn't block the full attack; yet Xuanyuan Qingyao, at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation, managed to block half.

To be blunt, Xuanyuan Qingyao's performance here completely blew Old Bai's out of the water.

Unfortunately, this did not come without a cost. After blocking the attack, Xuanyuan Qingyao lost consciousness and fell. She was later taken away by medical personnel, and now no one knew where she had gone.

It was also thanks to Xuanyuan Qingyao's interception that Zhou Yan and Long Tianxing had just enough time to conjure the Ancestral Dragon.

Last time in Kaifeng, Zhou Yan used his own body and Long Tianxing's Luck to summon the Ancestral Dragon. This time, it was Long Tianxing using his Physical Body and Zhou Yan's Karma to summon the Ancestral Dragon.

Zhou Yan still had a major enemy in Dream City, so naturally, he couldn't come himself; otherwise, the main body in the Eastern Region would also go offline, which would be disastrous.

Moreover, they were in the middle of a battle, and as a main force, Long Tianxing would surely be in danger if he lost his Luck for nothing.

The final result was good; both of them shared the cost. Zhou Yan's clone couldn't handle it and temporarily lost connection, while Long Tianxing, perhaps because his cultivation was higher than that day or simply due to good Luck, was only weakened and didn't faint on the spot.

Perhaps it was Brother Long's Luck at work, but before Ke Yan lost connection, Zhou Yan managed to borrow that sword strike that crippled the War Knight.

Because right when that sword strike was unleashed, Ma Hao happened to be performing a rollback.

The power could be borrowed, and he happened to encounter Ma Hao's attack, so Zhou Yan resolved the Victory Knight without any damage and had an excuse to feign severe injury and hide.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan's trust in Long Tianxing's ability to resolve this matter increased a little more.

"Brother Long, hang in there! Once I find Xuanyuan Qingyao, I will definitely come to help you!"

"Wait, as the strongest combat force on our side, is it not right for me to be idling in the rear saving people instead of supporting the protagonist?"

With a casual wave of pressure that crushed the clones rushing over, Zhou Yan realized this.

The enemy's strongest, the War Knight, seemed unable to rise again. Aside from him, the strongest was only Arthur at the Body Integration Stage. If he supported Long Tianxing now, couldn't he end this early?

Then why save Xuanyuan Qingyao?

Nickname is from Liyan Holy Land, so she must be a frequent visitor to the underworld. Dying a few times shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Just as the words "Forget about Xuanyuan Qingyao" were about to slip out, Zhou Yan's Divine Sense keenly captured a familiar voice from afar.

"Old Wang, slow down! That's my sword!"

"This voice, is it Xiao Sheng?"

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, and ultimately decided not to support Brother Long, turning instead to investigate.

On the other side, Xiao Sheng had exhausted all his means, attempting to catch up to the Wang Yao ahead.

But Wang Yao was acting like a madman, swinging Xiao Sheng's celestial master sword and cutting through everything like a hot knife through butter, charging towards the direction of the base.

Watching Wang Yao running further and further away, Xiao Sheng felt his scalp tingle.

"My Talisman level is clearly at the quasi-fourth rank. Using a body-enhancing Talisman not only has better effects but doesn't even change my physique, so why can't I keep up?"

Xiao Sheng hadn't felt it when he was being led by Wang Yao, thinking it was just his good command and his sufficient understanding of that scorpion.

Now that he was actually chasing, he realized Wang Yao could really run. He hadn't even taken any acceleration potions, just a few injections to strengthen his Physical Body before the war started.

Watching Wang Yao's figure gradually disappear, Xiao Sheng braced his knees and rested.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he so hyper?"

"Yeah, what happened to Wang Yao?"

Hearing a voice behind him, Xiao Sheng didn't react immediately and replied casually.

"I don't know. He just met a strange clone, and then he went crazy."

"Ah!"

Xiao Sheng yelled, grabbed a handful of Talismans, and hurriedly retreated to the side. Just as he was about to throw the Talismans, he realized that the person who had arrived was actually Zhou Yan.

"Old Zhou, it's really you!"

Xiao Sheng rushed up and gave him a bear hug.

Because of his cultivation level, he had been standing very far back earlier. He could only keep his Divine Sense active and stand on tiptoes to watch, having absolutely no idea what had happened.

He only knew that Zhou Yan had somehow joined the team to help them, and then information came that Zhou Yan had gone offline.

If Zhou Yan hadn't gone offline, Xiao Sheng felt Wang Yao wouldn't have gone so crazy; Zhou Yan definitely would have stopped him.

As the saying goes, in times of national crisis, one longs for a good general. Facing the crazed Wang Yao and the joy of a long-awaited reunion, Xiao Sheng was overjoyed.

Zhou Yan didn't say anything about it, just letting him hug for a while as a gesture; after all, he hadn't seen Xiao Sheng in a long time either.

"That's enough. We can catch up after it's over. Now tell me about Wang Yao. How did he become like this? Why does it feel the same as that time in Kaifeng?"

Xiao Sheng looked at Wang Yao, whose figure was no longer visible, feeling somewhat worried.

"I don't know. A clone that looked like a mummy appeared, and Wang Yao just went crazy and charged at it."

"That guy started fiercely injecting himself with several needles, shouting things like 'Nine Dragon Power: Greedy Wolf', 'Nine Dragon Power: Army Breaker', 'Nine Dragon Power: Mountain Bearer', and then just charged."

"He even swiped my sword before leaving."

Zhou Yan covered his forehead and looked at the mini-map, at the direction of Long Tianxing and the opposite direction of Wang Yao.

Well, Zhou Yan knew what was going on now.

He didn't expect to encounter something related to Liu Dabiao here. Although he didn't know how Liu Dabiao ended up in Arthur's hands, looking at it now, it seemed he wouldn't be able to support Brother Long.

If it were anyone else, Zhou Yan would just call it feudal superstition, but if it was Long Tianxing, Zhou Yan could only say it was ordained by fate.

Since the heavens were blocking him so forcefully, it seemed he couldn't go over there either.
