Chapter 1280 - 614: Assault on Yang Baoshan
"Boom!"
Over the vast snowfield, dozens of sleds swiftly sliced across the ground.
Suddenly, a roar exploded ahead.
Beneath the snow, a flame burst forth, causing the snow layers to collapse with a rumble.
The figures on those sleds were caught off guard, with many directly falling into the snow pit.
However, the three leading figures flashed, leaping into the air and halting in the void.
"Who are you!"
"Get out!"
Among them, two figures in the sky shouted angrily.
One of them, with an elegant figure and face like a frost, pointed into the void.
Instantly, a cone-shaped object shot out fiercely!
Woo——!
A sharp wailing sound resounded, and the next moment, the cone-shaped weapon plunged deep into the snow and continued to shuttle beneath the surface.
From beneath the snow, continuous screams and wails echoed.
Large amounts of blood seeped through the snow layers.
Another figure sneered, pressing both hands fiercely against the ground.
In an instant, the ground trembled, and dozens of earth spikes erupted from the ground.
The sound of squishing was heard as dozens of bodies were pierced by the earth spikes, thrust out of the snow, and hung on the spikes.
Shu Zhangyue waved her hand, and the cone-shaped flying sword returned to her hand. With sharp eyes surveying the area, after confirming that there were no hidden ambushes with her Spiritual Power, she spoke.
"All solved."
Shi Lianhai sneered, "Little worms and trivial dogs, dare to ambush us?"
The silent Guan Maocai frowned, "We’ve left Yellow Earth Divine Origin for a month and a half, wandering and changing places seven or eight times; those smaller hills are occupied, and there’s no suitable place to settle."
Shi Lianhai pondered and said, "Small hills are not worth waiting at, with too low elevation; as soon as spring starts, and temperatures rise, they will be flooded in an instant. We need a place suitable for our development."
"Are we really giving up on Yellow Earth Divine Origin?" Shu Zhangyue couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s not about giving up; it’s about avoiding the edge temporarily. Liang has undergone gene recombination and can evolve Genetic Map creatures, too strong; among us, except for Lianhai, who can undergo gene recombination? Who can withstand Liang even a bit?" Guan Maocai shook his head.
Shi Lianhai sighed and said, "I thought that after breaking through gene recombination, being able to evolve [Mammoth Giant Elephant], I could unify Guangfu shortly, but unexpectedly Liang came along."
"Even Yuan Shijie has reached gene recombination level, underestimating the world."
It turned out that Shi Lianhai had also broken through gene recombination to middle tier in the Genetic Species.
His Genetic Map is [Mammoth Giant Elephant], allowing him to transform into a Mammoth Giant Elephant, trampling the four corners with immense strength and also possessing Earth Attribute Divine Power Talent.
This had always been his reserved trump card, planning to use it against Dove Faction Feng Jiangong in the future.
No one expected, before facing Feng Jiangong, he was forced to face Liang Yuan and Yuan Shijie, both already able to evolve Genetic Map creatures.
Moreover, it seemed their gene recombination progress was ahead of his.
This was the main reason for his decisive abandonment of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin to escape.
Now, he no longer had previous pride, only reverence for the world.
They fled from Guangfu, traversing many places, from high-rise buildings to hilly slopes, even a giant ship frozen on the water.
However, these places were unsuitable for setting camp and stealthy development.
This time, they brought senior members and numerous resources.
They needed a place like the Floating Island, where they could reside long-term for stable development.
But such places were exceedingly rare.
The great flood had covered the land, and the sea level had risen significantly.
Even once towering buildings barely peeked above the water now.
"What kind of place are we looking for?" Shu Zhangyue couldn’t help but ask.
Shi Lianhai remained silent, Guan Maocai spoke, "At the very least, a place that can sustain itself must have land to grow food, otherwise we cannot develop."
Undoubtedly, in today’s world, food is always the priority.
Without food, they couldn’t recruit newcomers, so how could development be possible?
Should they have these masters, awakened in Genetic Species, worry about food sources?
Shi Lianhai asked, "Where are we now?"
Guan Maocai calculated, "We should be within Ji’an City’s boundaries now."
"Generally speaking, Ji’an City’s geography is higher than Linjiang, situated upstream of Linjiang."
"Which well-known mountains are here?" Shi Lianhai asked.
Guan Maocai thought for a moment, "Ji’an City is famous for its many mountains, more than Linjiang."
"The nearest to our Linjiang should be the nearby Furong Valley."
"But it wouldn’t be surprising if such a place is already occupied."
Shi Lianhai sneered hearing this, "Occupied? Then take it!"
"Let’s scout first; if Furong Valley is rooted by existing forces, caution is wise. Don’t find another like Liang." Guan Maocai cautioned.
"Don’t worry, I understand." Shi Lianhai nodded.
Shu Zhangyue went to rescue Earth Mother Sect personnel who accidentally fell into the snow pit earlier.
After a short rest, they continued their journey towards Furong Valley.
...
In Baoshan City, at Yang Baoshan, over a thousand people gathered at the foot of the mountain.
In the air, there were more than a hundred capable of flying superpower users.
Leading these airborne superpower users was a middle-aged man in a white cloak, slightly bald.
He was slender, but his aura was terrifying.
He stood on a throne made from condensed frost, surrounded by many men and women who could fly.
The man gently tapped his index finger and asked, "Who is willing to go down and flatten Yang Baoshan for me?"
The superpower users around him exchanged glances, and several men immediately voiced, "The Iron Blood Mercenary Corps is willing to go!"
"Your Majesty, the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps is willing to flatten Yang Baoshan for you!"
"Your Majesty, the Red Star Mercenary Corps is ready to brave any danger for you!"
"Your Majesty, the Celestial King Mercenary Corps is prepared to fight to the death!"
These men in front of him had awe-inspiring presence, each being experts with main attributes over 90 points.
If Liang Yuan were here, he would surely recognize that the leader of the so-called Iron Blood Mercenary Corps was indeed Qiu Gongrong!
The other mercenary groups were the three major corps that used to be in Mist City.
But their leaders had long been replaced.
Formerly, Li Kun of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps, Huang Mingkai of the Red Star Mercenary Corps, and Li Jing of the Celestial King Mercenary Corps had all died at the hands of Liang Yuan.
Now, their new leaders are remarkable individuals.
Among them, the leader of the Sharp Sword Mercenary Corps was a former confidant of Li Kun, named Fang Liang.
This person was a transformation ability user, whose superpower, "Cicada Transformation," allowed him to transform into a spring cicada, with wings to fly at low altitudes while growing cicada armor and blade, being fierce in battle.
The new leader of the Red Star Mercenary Corps was Hong Weiguo, who used to be part of the Ice Armor Warrior Mercenary Corps. After Huang Mingkai’s death, Chang Yuntao had him take over the Red Star Mercenary Corps and integrate Huang Mingkai’s forces.
It can be said that the Red Star Mercenary Corps is now Chang Yuntao’s staunch supporter.
Finally, the new leader of the Celestial King Mercenary Corps was Yang Zicong, who was not originally a resident of Mist City but joined later as a captain.
Chang Yuntao absorbed the experience from the last time Liang Yuan led a captain’s uprising and felt that prohibiting outside captains from coming ashore without giving them hope was not viable.
Thus, he accepted Yang Zicong, this captain.
This move indeed gave captains hope, and they all strived to join Mist City.
However, faced with these volunteers, Chang Yuntao was unmoved, instead looking at a short-haired woman who remained silent.
"Yue Hua, are you unwilling to serve me?"
The short-haired woman’s face was cold; she did not look like a beauty, with an aura of aloofness that kept people at a distance.
Upon hearing Chang Yuntao’s words, Leng Yuehua’s face slightly changed. She bowed her head and clasped her fists, saying, "Your Majesty, my mercenary corps is weak, fearing I might delay your grand plans. However, both I and all members of the Beauty Corps are willing to fight for you."
Upon hearing these words, a smile finally appeared on Chang Yuntao’s face.
He chuckled, "Your corps consists of beauties I have handpicked, how could I send them to battle, haha."
"Iron Blood, Sharp Sword, Red Star, Celestial King—four major mercenary corps, listen to my command!"
"Pass my order, attack Yang Baoshan with full force!"
"Yes (As ordered)!"
Qiu Gongrong, Fang Liang, Hong Weiguo, and Yang Zicong immediately took the order, their figures flashing as they quickly led their force to launch an all-out attack.
The cries of battle were deafening, signaling the start of the epic conflict.
On Yang Baoshan, dozens of figures swiftly flew in to confront them.
All sorts of terrifying energy fluctuations erupted, rumbling constantly.
The thick snow on the mountain was shaken, and exploded, forming a terrifying avalanche cascading down.
It was about to engulf the numerous superpower users on the Mist City’s side.
Yet, sitting on the icy throne, Chang Yuntao just lowered his head and extended a finger, lightly pointing at the ground below.
In an instant, an enormous ice dragon roared and coalesced in mid-air, crashing down.
With a resounding roar, it wound up at mid-mountain level.
The massive ice dragon soon formed a huge ice wall that blocked the avalanche’s snow immediately.
The people from the four major mercenary corps cheered upon seeing this.
However, among them, Qiu Gongrong, of the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps, discreetly glanced back at Chang Yuntao, his pupils narrowing.
"He has grown stronger again!"
Qiu Gongrong’s figure moved like electricity, flashing through the air.
Soon, he charged into the Shelter within Yang Baoshan.
Suddenly, a young man dashed out, confronting him in a fierce battle.
Qiu Gongrong opened his mouth and roared fiercely, unleashing mighty sound waves.
The sound waves carried terrifying spiritual power fluctuations.
Caught off guard, the young man immediately felt his head splitting.
Luckily, his golden headpiece resisted, its runes glowing.
However, before he could catch his breath, Qiu Gongrong struck down with a bone hammer.
Bang!
The youth couldn’t even let out a scream, his body flesh and bones smashed to pieces, dying on the spot!
Meanwhile, elsewhere, the four major mercenary corps unleashed their divine power.
The people on Yang Baoshan were soon defeated, in complete disarray!
Suddenly, a light illuminated, and Jing’en saw a young man throw a punch.
"Light Slash!"
Whoosh—!
A terrifying beam formed a mighty light blade, instantly tearing apart a member of the Red Star Mercenary Corps.
The dazzling light forced everyone to close their eyes.
At that moment, he consecutively killed three people, catching the attention of Chang Yuntao in the sky.
Chang Yuntao squinted slightly, intrigued, asking, "Who is this person?"
Leng Yuehua quickly responded beside him, "Your Majesty, he should be Xu Haoyang, the leader of Yang Baoshan Shelter’s expedition team. It’s said that he once participated in the battle for the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth."
"Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth?"
Leng Yuehua’s eyes immediately gleamed with brilliance, saying, "That’s the island ultimately taken by someone named Liang. Your Majesty, his territory keeps expanding, and he was likely the one who caused trouble, stealing Blood Crystals back then!"
Chang Yuntao squinted slightly, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
