Chapter 355: Fang La, Transcendent?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Okay, time to enter the cavern!”

After killing Bao Daoyi, Ji Ye wasted no time breaking into the cavern.

Although he knew that Fang La might have prepared arrays like Bao Daoyi did, or even traps and ambushes, in the cavern, there was no way that he would give Fang La a chance to recover.

Besides, Ji Ye knew much more lifesaving methods than the Daoist who pretended to be dead just now.

While Bao Daoyi was Fang La’s “National Advisor”, he was not nearly as powerful and influential as Mr. Golden Sword was to w.a.n.g Qing or the Lord of Fiends to Tian Hu.

The man was merely at the bottom of the top-cla.s.s figures. Fang La, in comparison, was Liangshan’s greatest opponent and the ultimate boss in Water Margin. He was also a real historical figure. He would definitely yield much more spoils than Bao Daoyi did after he was killed.

Apart from anything else, the Holy Fire Badge in his hand that could resist the Dragon-Subduing Strike and even transformed it into Holy Fire was tempting enough to Ji Ye!

“Huh?”

To his surprise, Ji Ye wasn’t ambushed as he expected after he entered the cavern with the Black Sky Primordial Chaos Sword. The scale and decorations of the cavern were even more surprising for Ji Ye.

There were twelve enormous pillars of fire, on which incomprehensible and dizzying scripture had been engraved. In the middle of the pillars was an enormous altar that could accommodate hundreds of people. At the center of the altar was a glowing statue that was likely the Lord of Light.

At this moment, Fang La was on his knees in front of the white statue with his back against the entrance. He had given the Holy Fire Badge back to the statue.

Hum!

The furious flames on the twelve black pillars all flew towards the Holy Fire Badge in the hands of the white statue as if they were being swallowed. They completely restored the Holy Fire Badge and formed an illusionary statue that was identical to the white one around Fang La.

As the illusionary statue took shape, Fang La, who was on his knees below it, became stronger and stronger. Even Ji Ye felt a threatening pressure from him!

Was it some sort of G.o.d Summoning technique?

It was just like the Liangshan heroes who could receive additional support from the stars, except that it was obviously more powerful than regular G.o.d Summoning techniques!

Alarmed, Ji Ye pushed his hands without any hesitation.

“Roar!”

The broken stones on the ground in the cavern, boosted by the surging True Qi, turned into a dragon of stones and jumped at Fang La’s back.

It was exactly Dragon Rages, the most destructive move in the Dragon-Subduing Strike!

Hum!

However, when the dragon of stones was about to drown Fang La, the Holy Fire Badge, which had been fully charged in the hands of the statue, glittered and created a transparent fiery barrier again!

Boom!

After a deafening explosion that sounded like an earthquake, even though the fiery barrier trembled nonstop under the collision, it was able to withstand Ji Ye’s most powerful attack with the energy supply of the twelve black fiery pillars.

The dragon of stones formed by the power of the Dragon-Subduing Strike collapsed because of the impact. The loosened stones were soon melted into magma by the high temperature in the fiery barrier!

“…”

Ji Ye frowned and then punched again.

“Roar… Roar… Roar…”

Six dragon roars echoed at the same time. It was the Flawless “Riding Six Dragons”!

This time, after the six transparent dragon-shaped auras took shape and hovered in the cavern, they didn’t charge at Fang La but at the six black fiery pillars!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Hit by the transparent dragon-shaped auras, each of the black pillars stood where it was without the tiniest crack on its surface!

Were those pillars as hard as the Holy Fire Badge, to the point that they could remain intact under the Dragon-Subduing Strike?

Of course not. It was because Ji Ye used a soft power instead of the regular tough power when he performed “Riding Six Dragons”. His purpose was not to destroy the pillars but to extinguish the burning fire on the black pillars, partly because those pillars were so huge that even he couldn’t possibly destroy them with one attack and partly because those pillars would become spoils for the Twin Dragon Island after Fang La was defeated.

There was no need to destroy his possessions.

“Roar… Roar… Roar…”

After putting out the fire on the six nearest pillars, the transparent dragon-shaped auras didn’t disperse. Instead, they continued to lunge at the other six black pillars that were still burning.

After the Dragon-Subduing Strike became Flawless and partly Transcendent, he was already able to use it as roughly or softly as he wanted to!

“Huh?”

However, after the remaining black pillars were extinguished, the fiery barrier above the altar didn’t dwindle or disperse as Ji Ye expected!

It was because the white statue at the center of the altar emitted a dazzling glow, and a lot of white Holy Fire flew out to replenish the Holy Fire Badge. It also quickly made the illusionary statue around Fang La even more vivid. Fang La’s vibe seemed to be approaching a certain level.

“Transcendent?”

Ji Ye had a feeling that if Fang La really completed the gathering, he would probably be faced with a Transcendent opponent!

Faced with such a situation, Ji Ye didn’t intend to retreat from the cavern for safety reasons at all.

Instead, the Void Ring on his hand flashed in a purple light, upon which a Yellow Mallet appeared.

The Transcendent level might be very powerful, but it was definitely not irresistible!

For example, a simple solution to deal with the Transcendent enemies was to use Transcendent weapons!

Whoos.h.!.+

The Yellow Mallet in Ji Ye’s hand quickly expanded to almost three meters in diameter. After Ji Ye smashed it with the Dragon-Subduing Strike, it was darted towards the fiery barrier like a yellow rainbow.

Boom!

The fiery barrier, which had successfully blocked all of Ji Ye’s strength, broke into pieces without putting up any resistance.

The Yellow Mallet, which had shrunk in size, didn’t stop. Instead, it continued to roll towards Fang La, the Holy Fire Badge above his head, and even the white statue!

Hum!

Faced with the incoming Yellow Mallet, the Holy Fire Badge suddenly glittered and flew out of the statue’s hand.

It simply went at the Yellow Mallet with itself.

The Holy Fire Badge versus the Yellow Mallet!

One of them could resolve any attack and transform it into a terrifying Holy Fire as a counterattack.

The other could destroy anything and wasn’t scared of fire.

After they collided, the result was that…

Boom!

The yellow light and the white light both radiated.

The two items stagnated and floated in midair.

Apparently, the Holy Fire Badge couldn’t absorb the Yellow Mallet anymore, but the Yellow Mallet couldn’t simply destroy it either.

Boom!

After several seconds of impa.s.se, the light from the Yellow Mallet dimmed, and it eventually shrank and flew back to Ji Ye’s hand.

The reason was that the Yellow Mallet was only a Common item and contained little Transcendent power, whereas the Holy Fire Badge was incessantly supplied by the white statue.

However, the attack was not entirely futile.

At least, the fiery barrier had already been broken.

Besides, because the Holy Fire Badge had left the white statue’s hands, the Holy Fire that had been surging towards Fang La was paused too.
