Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 328
Chapter 328: Revolting Heroes?
On a beach on the Snake Monkey Island that had the ocean on one side and the woods on the other—
“Master, if you insist on doing this, we apologize for what we’re going to do!”
That was Ruan Xiaoer speaking. Holding his sharp Tiger Shark Saber and standing in the tidal waves, he stared at Ji Ye, who was at the edge of the beach.
Ruan Xiaoqi wasn’t the only one there. Qin Ming the Fiery Thunderbolt, Zhang Qing the Featherless Arrows, Ruan Xiaoqi, Yan Qing, Zhao Yun, and Li Yuanba were all there.
Most of the warrior and martial arts heroes of the Twin Dragon Island had gathered here, all holding their weapons. Right now, they had “surrounded” Ji Ye with serious looks on their faces.
What was going on? Was it a rebellion?
“With your permission, I’d like to go first!” said a rumbling voice.
It was Qin Ming the Fiery Thunderbolt. He stood over two meters, holding his terrifying spiked club.
After that, black flames suddenly rose from his body, turning the sand around him into a magma-like substance.
Thump…
After that, the sand and magma swarmed onto his body, and he was transformed into a demon-like creature that was about three meters tall with smoke and flame rising out of his eyes.
He then wielded his spiked club, which had also been elongated to over three meters by the flame and magma around it. It now looked gigantic.
The spiked club smashed down at Ji Ye’s head.
“Master, watch out!” said Qin Ming.
Although he was warning Ji Ye, there was still an invisible power in his resonating voice.
Not only did it send sand and stones flying everywhere, but it could also deafen Extraordinary cultivators, as well as blocking their view.
“Roar!”
But Qin Ming’s voice simply wasn’t loud enough to drown out the dragon’s roar.
Ji Ye didn’t move a centimeter. Instead, he raised his right hand and reached out.
The magma spiked club looked like a giant pillar compared to his palm, and the sizes were of a stark contrast to each other. However, he was able to catch the falling spiked club and stop it there.
Boom!
However, when the hand made contact with the spiked club, the sound of rumbling sunder seemed to rise out of the earth.
Magma immediately ran all over the beach, and black smoke rose sky-high. The impact even made the beach fluctuate like meter-high waves.
Sizzle!
While the impact spread out, more flames rose up.
Purplish flame now appeared on Qin Ming’s spiked club, and it was trying to devour Ji Ye’s hand.
As his nickname suggested, Qin Ming’s talent was related to fire. Because he had fused the Demon Fire Core, the flame generated from his giant spike was so hot that the air around it contorted. Moreover, the ash created by the fire was highly toxic.
But neither was a problem for Ji Ye.
With his Sunbathing technique, he was able to change his inner strength to Nine Yang property, enabling him to withstand the fire and stay unharmed by the toxic smoke.
Of course, apart from the fire and the poisonous smoke, Qin Ming’s strike also contained his powerful body and blood essence power, which was the characteristic of warrior heroes!
Moreover, because Qin Ming had only just been summoned, he didn’t have enough Honor or EXP. Even with the ample resources that he was given, he had only just made it to Extraordinary Level-8.
Being one of the “Five Tigers”, although Qin Ming was evaluated at Superior, in terms of his fighting ability, he was considered to be as capable as a Perfect one. The overall effectiveness of his strike was comparable to that of a peak Extraordinary Rank-8 warrior!
But it was still not enough to affect Ji Ye, who was Extraordinary Rank 9.
“Roar!”
Ji Ye raised his hand, and the dragon roared again.
A streak of formidable True Qi surged out from Ji Ye’s palms and turned into the shape of a dragon in the fire.
Dragon-Subduing Strike: Dragon in the Field!
Crack!
When Ji Ye’s dragon-shaped energy made contact with the magma spiked club, cracks began to form on the club.
The dragon-shaped energy showed signs of waning. It made its way up the spiked club and clashed into the “demon body” formed by the magma, causing the latter to “bleed out”.
In the end, the “magma demon” flew backward, as if it had been knocked away by a bulldozer.
Right at the moment when Qin Ming was struck away—
Whoosh!
Standing in the sea, Ruan Xiaoer had been waiting for his turn.
He had been accumulating energy in his Tiger Shark Saber, and now, he struck down in the direction of Ji Ye, who had his back to Ruan Xiaoer!
Splash!
When the tip of the blade touched the sea, the water suddenly split open.
A streak of energy rushed forward, turning into a five-meter long shadow of a tiger-striped shark. Its fin was kept above the sea surface and reminded one of an extremely sharp blade.
As it moved toward Ji Ye, the “shark” dug a “trench” in the seawater.
Although Ruan Xiaoer was also stuck at Extraordinary Rank 8, but because he was attacking in the sea, with his additional talent, the saber strike was even more powerful than Qin Ming’s.
“Roar!”
Sensing Ruan Xiaoer’s attack, Ji Ye turned his body slightly and struck out with his left palm.
The energy raised the seawater into the air. It then turned into a transparent Flood Dragon, which charged at the rampaging purple “shark” in the water.
Boom!
When the two creatures collided into each other, the entire sea seemed to freeze for a moment before everything exploded.
The wave rose for over a meter high and quickly spread out. Even with Ruan Xiaoer’s ability to fight in the water, he still couldn’t keep his feet under the impact and had to stumble back.
Pa!
But Ji Ye didn’t exploit the victories by hot pursuit.
Instead, after shattering Qin Ming’s magma spiked club, he struck out with his right hand again, creating a streak of dragon-shaped energy identical to which he had used to strike Ruan Xiaoer.
But it was aimed at the tidal waves coming in his direction.
Dragon-Subduing Strike: Twin Dragons out of Water!
Pa!
Ruan Xiaoqi emerged from the wave; the tip of his Invisible Harpoon was only less than half a meter away from Ji Ye’s throat. He was wrapped in the black soul power.
He was summoned here by fusing with the Water Demon Leader offering and had the ability to completely conceal himself in the sea.
After rising to Extraordinary Rank-8, he had even managed to combine the Ghostship Captain’s talent, King’s Soul, with the power of the Water Demon.
After enhancing his physical strength with the soul power, he was as extraordinary a fighter as Ruan Xiaoer!
“Pew!”
However, even with the help of the soul power, he still couldn’t withstand the impact of the Twin Dragons out of Water.
Unable to dodge the energy from Ji Ye’s palm, Ruan Xiaoqi spat out a mouthful of blood and fell back into the water.
Had it not been for the invisible power rushing out of his harpoon, which canceled out some of the energy, the close-range attack would have killed or severely injured Ruan Xiaoqi.
While Ji Ye was fighting the Ruan brothers, in his peripheral vision, he saw a hint of golden light.
Yan Qing had leaped up into the sky; a blue eagle rising out of his back. In his hand was the Radiant Gold Bow, which had been fused with a great amount of Radiant Gold and improved to Extraordinary Rank-9. He drew the bow until it almost looked like a full moon.
After activating his extraordinary power, he drew energy from the sunlight, turning the “moon” in his hands into a “sun”.
Whoosh!
When he released the bow, the sunlight turned into a golden arrow that was over 1.5m long. It was aimed right at Ji Ye’s forehead.
And it moved even faster than a bullet!
“Roar!”
However, at the critical moment, a streak of dragon-shaped energy rose out of the sea to Ji Ye’s left.
Dragon-Subduing Strike: Hidden dragon out of the Abyss!
Although Dragon-Subduing Strike was a palm technique, it didn’t mean that it could only be activated through palms.
Ji Ye still hadn’t reached the Flawless stage, but he understood the technique as well as its creator.
He could even release his True Qi through his legs to activate some of the stances.
Pa!
The golden light shattered into pieces at the impact of the most formidable Dragon-Subduing Strike.
The invisible Dragon Aura leaping out of the water made no sign of stopping and charged at Yan Qing, who was still up in the air.
It forced the blue eagle to fly higher to dodge the attack and give up making more assaults.
However, that didn’t save Ji Ye from all of the danger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
About half a dozen balls that were red, black, or white in color quickly flew in Ji Ye’s direction, aiming at critical points such as his head or his heart.
Although it was a stealth attack, with his True Seer, which he had reached the Greater Mastery stage, Ji Ye was still able to detect the “featherless arrows”.
Instead of turning around, he activated another streak of dragon-shaped energy with his feet. It then wiggled its long body in mid-air, hitting all the balls.
Dragon-Subduing Strike: Dragon’s Tail!
The energy the strike exerted was completely different from the one that had shattered the Radiant Gold Arrow.
The Dragon-Subduing Strike, which was known for its Yang quality and toughness, now gave off a wave of Yin and gentle energy, because when striking out, Ji Ye had changed the inner strength he used from Yin and Yang Sutra to Hollow Bright Fist.
He had made that switch because after the dragon-shaped energy smacked the fast-moving balls down, they flew past Ji Ye and fell into the water.
Boom, boom, boom…
Right after that, there were a series of explosions.
They were the concealed weapons created by the Twin Dragon Island’s technology department specifically for Zhang Qing so that his flying stones could cause more damage to his enemies.
The different colors of the flyings stones all corresponded to different functions.
The red ones contained Fire Crystals, enabling the ball to explode and keep burning. The white ones contained Sea Stones, which could create a heavy mist. The black ones had “Black Demon Sulfur” and could create lethally toxic smoke…
It was said that the five-colored flying stones could, to a great extent, make up for Zhang Qing’s lack of lethal attacks in fighting highly capable enemies.
The firearm department was even trying to minimize the size of the Flood Dragon Egg so that one could throw it with their bare hands.
