Chapter 365: Lu Zhishen vs Black Tortoise

“Don’t waste the lives of our soldiers. Use the Battle Formation of Four Dimensions to destroy the city wall!”
“But we’ve already used a lot of the energy of the flags. If we use the Battle Formation of Four Dimensions now, it’ll drain the energy!”
“Carry out the order!”
With that, the advancing Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array finally stopped when it was about 60m away from the city wall.
It wasn’t just because of the mound and the saber energy. The Primordial Unity Chaos Phenomena Array was a formidable array, but to exert its full power, it needed a specific environment. The terrain, the sun and the moon, the twenty-four Qi, the sixty-four hexagrams, and the positions of the stars all had to be in the right position!
However, to destroy the 15m high city wall of the Twin Dragon Island, they had to dismiss the array.
The generals of the Liao Kingdom knew perfectly well that a great proportion of the energy of their army had been drawn away by the array. If they dismantled the array to attack the city directly, many soldiers would get killed by the firearms of the Twin Dragon Island.
Their best solution was to use the Battle Formation of Four Dimensions, their most powerful weapon, to directly destroy the city wall together with a great number of defensive facilities.
“Wula! Wula! Wula!”
To the north of Dragon City, the Liao soldiers wielding black sabers, spears, and shields shouted three times in the ancient Khitan language that the Twin Dragon Island couldn’t understand.
Hum!
Immediately after that, seven flags shone at the same time, and the 300m tall Black Tortoise appeared on the battlefield again.
Earlier, it was quite far away from the city, so the height didn’t seem that intimidating. But now, it was less than 60m away, and its shadow fell upon the city like dark clouds.
Compared with its great height, the 15-meter city wall was nothing.
A single charge from the tortoise would be enough to destroy a third of the city wall.
“Attack!”
However, when they saw the enemy that had blocked half of the sky, the combat members of the Twin Dragon Island didn’t abandon the city wall. Instead, they unleashed all the firepower.
Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…
The multi-barrel machine gun that was named “Flame Snake” had barrels made of the bones of the Tyrant Lizard and could fire for minutes on end without getting overheated. It unleashed over a hundred bullets at the Black Tortoise.
Splash!
There was also the flame jet named “Flame Dragon’s Throat”. The atomized Fire Oil it blasted out was refined with the Snake Monkey race’s technique and could cover an area over 3m in the radiance.
As long as they could reach the Black Tortoise, the guards of the city were throwing everything they had at the tortoise, from bullets and arrows to stone tossed by the catapults.
Although these attacks couldn’t directly destroy the Black Tortoise, which seemed to be able to crush the city wall to the ground, they could at least weaken the power of the seven flags and the one thousand soldiers whose power formed this Black Tortoise.
That was the Twin Dragon Island’s plan.
Right now, the Dragon City was completely surrounded, and even the sky was blocked.
Even if there were reinforcements, they wouldn’t be here in time. The defending troops were already prepared to die, and the only thing they wanted was to weaken the Liao army as much as they could before the end.
That would ease the pressure on the Twin Dragon Island. In that way, they might still have a chance to be revived after this round.
However, under the frantic attack of the Twin Dragon Island, the impossible happened.
The 300m tall Black Tortoise that could withstand the Flood Dragon’s Eggs was destroyed during its advancement toward the Twin Dragon Island when it was only about two meters away from the city wall.
However, before the guarding troops could rejoice, a long shadow fell onto the northern city wall, despite the hail of bullets.
There was a semi-illusionary black serpent that looked like a python!
The Black Tortoise was actually a creature consisting of a turtle and a snake.
Although the tortoise was destroyed, the snake that had been wrapped around the tortoise had shrunk to a tenth of its original size and jumped off the tortoise when the latter had taken all the bullets.
Splash!
When the snake made contact with the city wall, it went through the wall effortlessly, as if the wall went made of tofu.
Black Tortoise represented the north. Because of the tortoiseshell, it had always been considered to have the best defense ability in all four dimensions.
But that was a misconception.
In fact, Black Tortoise was of the water element, and so was its ability.
The Black Tortoise Snake had the ability to “infiltrate” or “corrode” things like water did.
Although it was much smaller than the giant tortoise, it could still drill into the city wall.
It would only take less than 20 seconds for it to completely destroy the city wall of the Twin Dragon Island.
The wall was made of the hard reefs that could withstand the slapping sea waves, but it still couldn’t withstand the black snake’s corrosion.
Was there anyone left to stop it?
Pa!
A pair of giant dark-yellow semi-transparent hands grabbed the snake by its critical point.
“Roar!”
It was a 15m tall beast formed by a dark-yellow light. As it growled, it bared its fangs with a ferocious look in its eyes. It was none other than a Mandrill!
“Get out!”
Lu Zhishen had put down his Frost Metal Meditation Staff, and the giant Mandrill image was floating above him. He then dragged the black snake out of the wall, just like when he pulled the weeping willow out of the ground in the novel.
Hum!
When the black snake wrapped itself around him, the Mountainous Mark on Lu Zhishen’s lower back glowed brightly, covering the snake.
With his petrifying skill, he had suppressed the corrosive power.
It was the law of the five elements. Earth could restrain water.
Common reefs might not be able to stop the snake, but the Mountainous Mark with Transcendent power and Extraordinary Rank-9 Mandrill mitts definitely could.
Boom!
Right after that, Lu Zhishen tightened his grip, and the Mandrill broke the neck of the black snake that had been struggling violently between its hands.
If Ji Ye were here, he would have found the scene very familiar.
“Whoa!”
The moment the Black Tortoise Snake was destroyed, in the western section of the Liao army, a general with a python around his body and a tortoise under his feet spat out a mouthful of blood.
Holding his neck, the Black Tortoise general said resentfully, “Damn it. If I didn’t have to activate the Black Tortoise power to stop the Golden Condor earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to destroy my Black Tortoise so easily!”
Because to stop the Flood Dragon Eggs earlier on, the seven western mansions had used too much energy.
The intimidating 300m Black Tortoise was only the red herring, and the real attack was carried out by the snake!
However, Lu Zhishen was able to remove the black snake that was the combined power of thousands of people.
Although the array couldn’t combine the full power of all these people, it still didn’t make sense that one man could destroy the snake single-handedly.
“The flags have been weakened! It has to be it!
“Hmph! The mansion flags in the other three directions are intact, and no single person will be able to stop any of them,” said the Black Tortoise general.
“Roar!”
But as soon as he said that, he heard a tiger’s roar on the eastern city wall.
The White Tiger was on the west, so the sound didn’t come from it.
Rather, it was Wu Song, who wore a casual outfit with the Tiger Soul Saber in his hands. He was on the back of the Bloody Tiger Battle Tally that had switched to its giant tiger form.
Charging out at a tremendous speed, the tiger jumped onto the Azure Dragon’s head with one leap. The dragon was also over 300m long, but because of its shape, it looked a lot more solid than the Black Tortoise.
Its attack was even more effective than an Extraordinary Rank-9 one, and it was flicking its tail at the city wall.
Hum!
A streak of dark purple saber energy shot out of the Tiger Soul Saber. The next second, the Azure Dragon’s giant head was severed from its body.
The saber energy disappeared simultaneously.
It indicated how precise Wu Song was with exerting his energy. He hadn’t wasted any of it.
“Roar!”
The tiger transformed from the battle tally didn’t disappear. Stilly carrying Wu Song, it stood on top of the city wall and bellowed at the Liao army.
The intimidating mental attack ability in its voice successfully wiped the minds of the Liao eastern troop soldiers, who were busy activating the Azure Dragon war flag, for a moment.
It was Wu Song and Lu Zhishen.
Apart from Ji Ye, these two Extraordinary Rank-9 soldiers of the Twin Dragon Island had also stayed in the city, which was why the defending troops could remain relatively calm.
But they had reached their limits as well. The two Extraordinary Rank-9 heroes were able to stop the Azure Dragon and the Black Tortoise. What about the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird?
