Chapter 812: Chapter 74: SSS Grade Ultimate Ability_2

Seed Abilities are not omnipotent. For example, Tang Zheng, once he does not activate his Seed, which is an enhancement of more than a dozen times, when facing Mei Jueye, who has activated his Seed and enhanced himself more than thirty times, releasing a control ability, Tang Zheng could also get hit. However, thankfully, the Musketeer was powerful and did not give him the opportunity to control himself into committing suicide. Besides, as long as Tang Zheng also enters the Seed state, he would develop a resistance. With just the second stage, massacring Mei Jueye is no question; it’s just that he didn’t want to waste that much energy. Three Musketeers were enough.

Once the difference in strength amongst the Conquerors widens, even with the sharpest Seed Ability, lower ranks can still be crushed by high-ranking Seed activators. But once their strengths are similar, what counts is experience, instinct, combat skills honed from countless life and death struggles, and a bit of luck.

Tang Zheng felt fortunate that he had positioned the mature woman by his side. Otherwise, in the first cavalry charge, most people would have died. It seems keeping a strong Meat Shield by one’s side is necessary.

"Jing Xiang, shoot." Tang Zheng pulled out his Gauss sniper rifle, replaced it with a Beam Magazine, and started shooting. With one shot, he turned a Demonic Shadow completely into Black Mist.

Jing Xiang also drew her Longbow, launched her Hundred-shot Skill, and speckled arrows flew into the cavalry formation, killing a dozen or so, but in the face of their vast numbers, it was a drop in the ocean.

After these 20,000 cavalrymen charged, they did not return for a second assault or even fire a shot. After running a few dozen meters, they just suddenly disappeared on the plains.

The people had just breathed a sigh of relief when another wave of 30,000 cavalrymen began charging!

The Monkey King’s illusion summoned by the tattoo was still fighting, wreaking havoc on the cavalry formation, but it was a single-hero with too few mass-killing abilities, and within ten seconds, the cavalry would be at the Ice Wall.

Seeing that the mature woman couldn’t be distracted, Tang Zheng took out a bottle of sweet spring water, gave her a drink, and then opened fire. Once again, it was a one-shot kill, but he noticed that the armor on the cavalry began to glisten, much harder than before.

"Why can’t we leave here? This must be an Illusory Realm, why wait dumbly to be killed?" Ruan Feifei complained, shocking herself, but she couldn’t wake up.

Takeda Shingen’s ultimate ability couldn’t be exempted; one could only endure it head-on.

All 30,000 cavalry began their second wave of charge, their attacks fiercer, their defense more solidified. The Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain formation was just like that, each wave more ferocious than the last.

Although Sun Wukong cleared away the cavalry in front of the Ice Wall, preventing them from directly hitting it, the volley of tens of thousands of Bullets was quickly about to bring down the Ice Wall.

Watching them disappear behind, everyone couldn’t help but sigh with relief, but then they were shocked by Song Huiqiao’s words.

"The third wave has started."

The remaining 50,000 cavalrymen didn’t fan out this time. Because they were at the rear and had space to charge, they adjusted their formation into a spearhead and attacked the Ice Wall.

This was a deadlock. There was no way for Tang Zheng and the others to escape. Aside from being hit by a volley of bullets, they would also be trampled to death; they could only stand their ground.

Sun Wukong exerted all his might, clearing a large number of cavalry, but the numbers were too vast. Still, thousands of them rushed past him toward the Ice Wall.

"Xin Lan, thicken the Ice Wall," Yu Manli shouted urgently, looking at the gleaming icy light on the cavalry’s armor, unable to remain calm.

Li Xinlan was already trying her best to reinforce the Ice Wall, but Tang Zheng, seeing the mature woman in danger, attempted to summon another Monkey King, unsuccessfully.

Boom, boom, the Demonic Shadow Cavalry, brandishing their long spears, fearlessly crashed into the Ice Wall. Amid the thunderous roar, cracks appeared, spread, and gradually covered the Ice Wall, which was about to collapse.

Tang Zheng stared intently ahead, ready to protect Li Xinlan the moment the Ice Wall collapsed. As for everyone else, he could only apologize.

At this moment, even the confident Ruan Feifei dared not be careless; she moved closer to Tang Zheng, seeming to feel safe only by his side. She attacked the cavalry with lightning, but their numbers were too great, and her attacks did little to stem the tide.

Within the "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain" formation, the third wave of Kai Cavalry charged and broke through. Many slipped through the nets, rushing past the battling Monkey King and towards the Ice Wall, slamming into it by the dozens, then by the hundreds, an endless steel torrent.

The Iron Hooves crushed the grass underfoot and scattered clods of soil, as if to drown and destroy everything between heaven and earth.

Spitting out several mouthfuls of blood from excessive bodily wear, Li Xinlan’s clothes were stained, a sight distressing to the eyes. Nevertheless, she did not stop, continuing to mend the half-shattered Ice Wall.

"Be on guard," Yu Manli shouted, ready for the cavalry charging from both sides. Fortunately, they did not attack; otherwise, they would not have been able to withstand the onslaught. Yu Manli realized that Takeda Shingen’s "Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain" was an ultimate ability for mass destruction; these cavalry would only charge directly at their opponents. However, this was also a great trouble because, in the third wave, they would form a wedge-shaped attack.

"Cease fire," Tang Zheng put strength into his arm, intending to take Xinlan away and prepared to recall the Monkey King for their protection. Had he not been fearful of summoning the Velociraptors and lowering his own evaluation, he would already be prepared to do so on the side. In this type of combat, generals like the cavalry could only play a pitifully small role.

Glancing at Tang Zheng, a resolute light filled Li Xinlan’s watery eyes. The young widow did not want to become a burden. To repay him for reviving her, she had determined to do whatever it took to ensure he left the Trojan Room alive and no longer struggled in the cruel Trojan Horse Game.

Thinking about how even Lu Fan had exploded his Seed, and how much time she had wasted because of her death, Li Xinlan felt an urgent need to make up for lost time. The fact that Mei Jueye had just controlled her body to attack Tang Zheng filled her with regret and pain.

"I can do it." Feeling Tang Zheng’s concern, Li Xinlan’s voice was hoarse as she let out a roar and decided to fight to the death.

A red mist immediately poured out of her body, spreading around her. In an instant, she felt a surge of strength within, not only from the sweet spring water stored in her Wristwatch but also from the moisture in the air in front of her, which started to condense into thousands of white ice crystal arrows.

"Seed Explosion?" Yu Manli and Ruan Feifei exclaimed in joy, observing the change in Li Xinlan, feeling they could hold on now.

The Ice Wall thickened at a visible rate, withstanding the assault of the cavalry. The arrows above her head continued to increase as, after the Seed Explosion, the Ice Age evolved. Even without carrying sweet spring water, Xinlan had enough water vapor to use without restrictions.

With a wave of her delicate hand, a volley of ice crystal arrows shot out, immediately knocking down a group of cavalry.

"Xinlan, spread a layer of ice over the plains," Tang Zheng suddenly frowned, cursing himself for a fool for being overwhelmed by their numbers and not thinking of their weaknesses.

The newbies were startled but then had a moment of realization. It could be said that this ultimate ability, facing Li Xinlan’s Ice Age, would have at least half its threat reduced.

A white Ice Layer spread and instantly froze the grass, transforming it into a blossoming ice carpet. Those cavalry missed by the Monkey King slipped and tumbled when they stepped on it.

The crisis was temporarily averted, and Tang Zheng finally had the leisure to admire the Monkey King’s valor, wielding the Ruyi Golden Cudgel that was several meters long while being the size of a human; each strike swept away hundreds of cavalry along with their horses. Like a steadfast pillar in the current, it stood unshaken amid the tumult.

The Steel torrent made up of fifty thousand cavalry rammed for several minutes before finally vanishing. Seeing the third wave disappear, everyone was heartily relieved, legs weakened, and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Pull yourselves together, Takeda Shingen isn’t dead yet." No sooner had Tang Zheng spoken than everyone had returned to the Castle Tower. Time, which seemed to have paused, resumed its flow, and warriors brandishing weapons hacked at Ruan Feifei and the others. Thanks to Tang Zheng’s warning, the group barely escaped being killed.

Takeda Shingen watched Tang Zheng incredulously; someone had actually survived his ’Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain’, and not a single one was lost. This dealt a great blow to him, utterly shattering his confidence. (To be continued.
