Boom, boom, boom…
Blinding light rose from the Black Mountain 5km from Guobei County.
It looked as if dozens of small suns had risen into the sky.
“Ahhhh…”
After that, ghosts cried and screamed.
Each Pure Sensation Depleted Uranium Bomb could wipe out nearly a hundred ghost soldiers with the flames and radiation it created.
The heat of the flames could wipe out the ghost soldiers by destroying the soul power that formed their bodies.
The radiation created by the explosion was even more lethal to the ghost soldiers. Although the radiation of the atomic fission wasn’t the same as that of the sun, which came from atomic fusion, it worked on soul creatures the same way as sunlight.
And the shells of the bombs were made from Buddha Gold, which was poisonous to the undead creatures.
Because of that, the first-wave attack alone killed nearly a thousand ghost soldiers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The attack didn’t stop there.
Giant Golden Condors and glowing unicorns appeared in the sky.
The Sky Troop soldiers each held a missile launcher that had Daoist talisman carvings when they flew into the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Purple flames were lit up on Black Mountain again.
Although they weren’t nuclear bombs, the missiles that were named “Daoist Talismans” were all designed to target ghost-like creatures.
The Daoist Talismans were carved by Ninth Uncle and his men. Even if the missiles didn’t hit the target, the shrapnels alone were powerful enough to kill ghost soldiers below Extraordinary Rank-5.
After the two waves of bombardment, thousands of ghost soldiers were killed.
“Roarrrr!”
However, the uranium bombs and Daoist Talisman missiles weren’t completely invincible.
For instance, Old Demon Black Mountain itself wasn’t affected.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black Mountain shook as mushroom clouds rose into the air, and the black smoke rolled and tumbled.
Immediately, rocks the size of houses rose into the air and flew toward the uranium bombs at a tremendous speed.
Boom, boom, boom…
The rocks and bombs crashed into one another, and the sound was deafening. The light was so bright that the sky lit up like the day.
The uranium bombs were very powerful.
But the small nuclear bombs couldn’t destroy such a huge mountain.
Instead, the black rocks turned into flames and magma after the explosion and fell into Guobei County.
Boom, boom, boom…
Not only did they destroy many buildings, but the radiation and flames also set nearly half of Guobei County on fire.
Lu Zhishen had to move Gatling Bodhisattva out of the way and stopped shooting at the mountain from the front.
If he continued to launch bombs, the county would suffer more losses than Old Demon Black Mountain would.
The Sky Troop also ran into trouble.
With some jarring noise, dozens of tornadoes formed by the black smoke rose into the air.
A Golden Condor didn’t dodge quickly enough and was caught by the black smoke. Immediately after, the bird and the Extraordinary soldier on its back were mummified.
A unicorn also lost its balance and fell to the ground together with the female player on its back. Although the fall didn’t kill them, they were still devoured by the black smoke while the player was still screaming.
The talisman on the missiles gradually dimmed, and the black smoke seeped into them, making them useless.
“Plan B.”
Seeing this, Zhou Yu, the appointed commander of this battle, frowned.
His voice then left the Dragon City’s communication channel.
An eagle crowed.
A blue eagle flew out of Guobei County, and when it was above Black Mountain, it turned into Yan Qing.
He then removed his top, revealing his tattoos.
“Go!”
The tattoos then rose into the air and turned into a streak of blue energy.
A precipitous blue mountain appeared in the air as if it were as drawn by a giant painting brush.
“Is that Eagle Peak?”
Some players looked at the mountain from below.
It was Yan Qing’s updated talent skill after he made the breakthrough to the Transcendent level.
It allowed him to activate the power of tattoos and replicate the patterns to change the environment of the battlefield, creating factors that could help him.
For instance, this Eagle Peak wasn’t only strong, but it could also withstand the erosion of the black smoke. The blue wind was also blowing around the peak.
The wind was equivalent to a mental attack that could destroy the soul. To the ghost soldiers, it was even more frightening than Buddha Light.
“Ahhhh…”
And it worked well.
When the dozens of black tornadoes made contact with the wind, the ghost soldiers hidden in them screamed.
Even the Extraordinary-level ghost generals quickly dimmed until they were completely destroyed by the wind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Things soon turned around.
The ghost soldiers had been chasing the Sky Troop of Dragon City, but after Yan Qing, the Transcendent Sky Troop commander, joined the battle, the ghost soldiers turned to flee toward Black Mountain.
“Down!”
Of course, Yan Qing wasn’t going to let them escape.
The Eagle Peak in the air glowed. Following the black smoke, it then crashed into Black Mountain.
Again, a great number of ghost soldiers were destroyed.
“Wind, come!”
But it wasn’t over yet. Someone chanted a spell.
Some clouds appeared next to Yan Qing, and a person wearing a Daoist robe stood on them. It was Gongsun Sheng, who was also a Transcendent hero.
As he chanted the spell, a gust of strong wind swept across Black Mountain. Ghost soldiers and generals were blown toward Eagle Peak before they were killed by the blue wind.
“How dare you!”
However, after the two heroes killed thousands of ghost creatures, fury could finally be felt coming from inside Black Mountain as the entire mountain shook violently.
After that, the black smoke formed a giant palm and smashed down at Eagle Peak.
Whoosh!
It only took one strike before the Eagle Peak in the air that was created by the combined effort of two Transcendent heroes was destroyed.
If Yan Qing and Gongsun Sheng hadn’t noticed the giant hand and retreated in time, the strike might even severely injure them.
It was obvious who the attacker was.
“We’ve spotted Old Demon Black Mountain. Its location is (203, 485, 145)!”
Li Qing was operating an air scout from inside the building, and there was silver light in his eyes.
“We’ll move on to Plan C!”
Zhou Yu made the command in the communication channel.
“The mercy of Buddha saves the people!”
After hearing the command, Lu Zhishen activated Gatling Bodhisattva again.
The six giant arms lifted a gada that was nearly ten meters long. It had a sharp, pointy end, and a three-faced angry Dharma protector was carved onto the head.
“This strike will work!”
While Lu Zhishen raised the giant gada, another person ran out of the building.
It was Li Guang in his Night King Light Armor, and the energy he gave off had reached Transcendent Rank-2.
As the head of the Sky Troop, he had obtained a lot of contribution points in the past two months through training Golden Condors and unicorns. It meant that he could put his talent skill on an enormous Transcendent arrow.
“Now!” he cried out.
The pair of golden wings on his armor quickly changed its shape, becoming a golden bow that was several meters long.
He then set the arrow and drew the bow.
Whoosh!
The giant arrow was none other than the gada.
It flew out like a missile and headed for Black Mountain.
“Roar, roar…”
Needless to say, the giant “arrow” was very noticeable on the battlefield.
As it flew toward the target, many ghost soldiers and Commander-level Yellow Turban Army zombies felt the danger and tried to stop it.
Many tried to stop the arrow. There was a catapult with over a dozen ghost creatures on it, burning rocks the size of houses, and Extraordinary Rank-9 bronze-armored zombies that jumped into the air.
But the gada easily pierced through all of them.
This special “missile” destroyed everything in its way.
And it went right into the mountain.
Boom!
A few seconds later, a bright white light came out of Black Mountain, and the black smoke dissipated.
The night seemed to have turned into the day.
After that, a great ball of fire rose to the sky as countless ghost soldiers evaporated in the white light.
“How dare you!”
However, while the ball of fire rose out of the mountain, a cloud of black smoke also broke out of the mountain and formed a shadow hundreds of meters tall in the air.
It gave off a terrifying energy and caused all the zombies and ghost soldiers to fall on their knees.

[Description: Black Mountain was the burial place of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The mountain was enlightened and grew its own consciousness. It was the boss of the area.]
