Also, because Qiao Daoqing and Ma Ling were very close to one another, two sharp streaks of light flew towards Tian Hu’s “Prime Minister”, who was second to none!
Pew! Pew!
After two dull noises of penetration, Qiao Daoqing’s throat and heart were both pierced by the light.
Whoosh!
However, his body collapsed into black smoke the next moment.
It was because the moment the silver light burst out of Ma Ling’s body, Qiao Daoqing sensed something wrong and waved his colorful fan again.
Then, he was able to exchange his position with a Fiendish Soldier not far away.
Also, they swapped their appearances, and the soldier took the fatal hit instead of him. It was exactly the Appearance Replacement technique.
Besides, the Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers were simply his creations and were lifeless. Although one of them was dispersed, another one was created in the blink of an eye.
However, while Qiao Daoqing was safe and sound, Ma Ling, who thought that he had survived, was obliterated by the silver light that burst out of his body!
Looking at Ma Ling who had died a rather miserable death, Qiao Daoqing, who stood on the black cloud, looked at Wu Qiao and said, “The guy from the Twin Deity Mountain said that my mind was evil and I couldn’t practice his ‘righteous techniques’. Yet, you have performed such a brutal move. Does that meet his requirement?”
“How can you tell whether or not someone is righteous by the moves they perform?
“In order to defend our settlement, every method we adopt is righteous, and as invaders to our settlement, everything you do is evil!”
The talent glow in Wu Qiao’s eyes dispersed.
The overwhelming silver light was recalled and regathered into a silver dagger above her head.
Having familiarized herself with Water Margin, she naturally knew the reason for Qiao Daoqing’s reaction.
Qiao Daoqing, originally named Qiao Lie, had sort of a protagonist’s early life.
When his mother was pregnant, she dreamed that a wolf entered her house and turned into a deer. He was born with unnatural signs. When he traveled in Kongdong Mountain as a young man, he was taught skills by a hermit and got unusual powers.
Then, he became famous as the Lord of Fiends!
However, his luck didn’t help him when he ran into Master Luo, Gongsun Sheng’s teacher.
Master Luo, who was the best Daoist in Water Margin and had been immortalized, refused his request to learn after him, saying that the skills he learned were evil and he had to get rid of the evils first!
At this moment, Qiao Daoqing saw that Wu Qiao was capable of the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, so he was naturally angry.
“Very well, then let’s see how good you are at the ‘righteous technique’!”
Standing on the roiling cloud, Qiao Daoqing had trembling eyebrows with a hundred Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers next to him.
He waved his colorful fan, and the weather instantly changed. A storm arose, and flames in five different colors surged out of the black cloud towards Wu Qiao on the Demon Volcano!
“Quick!”
Wu Qiao wasn’t frightened at all.
She cast the same Wind Reversion spell again and pointed at Qiao Daoqing.
Boom!
After a thunderous noise in the sky, the flames in different colors and the overwhelming wind, just like the fire created by Ma Ling’s Wind and Fire Wheels, were blown back at Qiao Daoqing on the black cloud.
“Humph, get down!”
However, Qiao Daoqing simply snorted.
The fan in his hand suddenly radiated, and five feathers dropped from the fan and fell into the wind and fire that Wu Qiao had driven back.
“Caw! Caw! Caw…”
In the next moment, the flames seemed to be enlivened and transformed into five fuzzy fiery birds that emitted different temperatures!
It could be vaguely seen that there were peacocks and cranes among them.
Also, although they were made of loose flames, they still looked substantial.
They flapped their wings and instantly got rid of the control of Wu Qiao’s Wind Reversion. They also raised a suffocating wind during their movement while they swooped at Wu Qiao as well as the other heroes on the Demon Volcano including Li Yuanba.
Not just the heroes, while Qiao Daoqing fought Wu Qiao, the black cloud under his feet fell and stopped above the cannon positions of the Twin Dragon Island.
The surging black smoke instantly spread out, and a hundred Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers in black armor, taking cover in the black cloud, attacked the “Magma Artillerymen” who couldn’t be moved easily as they were connected to the cannons!
“Let’s move!”
Seizing the opportunity, Tian Hu’s soldiers who had been suppressed by the magma cannons and Li Yuanba at the foot of the mountain all ran up!
The Lord of Fiends had declared war on all the battle participants of the Twin Dragon Island on his own!
He was both strong and bold, and he truly deserved to be the second-best Daoist among the rebels under Gongsun Sheng.
However, he was merely the second best!
The best one was right here on the Twin Dragon Island.
When a hundred Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers, covered in black smoke, were about to go on a killing spree where the cannons were, a solemn voice suddenly came down from the sky.
“Wind!”
Whoosh!
Then, a gale was blowing on the top of the Demon Volcano.
The raging wind formed an enormous tornado that rose to the sky and absorbed all the black smoke.
Not just the black smoke, even the undying Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers hiding in the smoke were dragged to the eye of the tornado uncontrollably.
After the black smoke dispersed, many anxious and sweaty new players of the Twin Dragon Island found that a white cloud was moving rapidly towards the Demon Volcano from the Eagle Peak and that Gongsun Sheng was standing proudly on the cloud with the magnificent aura of Extraordinary Rank-9.
Unlike Ninth Uncle who had devoted more of his time to “science” studies, Gongsun Sheng was the real “cultivator” on the Twin Dragon Island.
He had been sitting alone on the Eagle Men’s peak where the gale was the strongest to polish himself with the soundwaves of the bronze bells.
A moment ago, he had finally become the fourth man on the Twin Dragon Island to reach Extraordinary Rank-9, after Ji Ye, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song, as everybody hoped!
It was exactly because Gongsun Sheng was here that Wu Song and Lu Zhishen had both been deployed in Dragon City.
After all the black smoke and Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers were absorbed into the tornado, Gongsun Sheng opened his mouth and uttered another word.
“Lightning!”
Boom, boom, boom…
A hundred bolts of lightning appeared in the tornado and struck every one of the Illusionary Fiendish Soldiers precisely.
Instantly, the seemingly undying soldiers collapsed and turned into black talismans, which were then torn into pieces by the tornado.
After that, Gongsun Sheng opened his mouth for the third time.
“Sword!”
Whoosh!
The Mirage Dragon Sword in his hand dashed out into a Cloud Dragon. One of its claws grabbed a fiery bird that was fighting Wu Qiao’s Silver Dagger and turned it into what appeared to be the tail feather of a crane after a noise.
The Cloud Dragon didn’t stop. It continued to attack the fiery birds that flew at Hao Dahai, Tang Long, and Wei Dingguo with its other three claws.
Pew! Pew! Pew!
After another three squeaks, all the four birds were reduced to their original forms.
There were only four of them because the bird that attacked Li Yuanba had already been smashed into a dim green feather by his hammers before Gongsun Sheng took action!
