Chapter 718: Chapter 546: Black Dragon in the Sky, Gathering Fate_2

This is...

Based on Wang Yang’s experience, he quickly determined what was before his eyes, it was Fate; if nothing went wrong, it should have been triggered by the Black Dragon stirring the World Consciousness.

Then, the world subconsciously "cheated" for him, and Wang Yang was also aware of this point, feeling as if he was endowed with the Heaven and Earth Qi of destiny. Wang Yang lifted his head and seemed to see something in the obscurity casting its gaze upon him.

And Wang Yang understood what that was.

It was the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

Although it wasn’t as powerful an entity as those in the Primordial Continent, it was definitely not something ordinary people could comprehend, at least possessing the strength of a Golden Immortal.

If it were Wang Yang’s true body, a casual wave of his hand might be enough to annihilate many, but at this moment, if he wanted to defeat the darkness inside Shouchun City, he had to borrow the power of Heavenly Dao.

Feeling his body, Wang Yang found the difference; his body was actually radiating strands of nature’s spiritual energy, and he understood instantly that this was the means by which this world prepared to enhance his strength—this was Fate. With enough of it, one could overcome darkness.

And now, if he wanted the blessing of Fate, there was only one way.

The only way was for Wang Yang to gain the complete trust of the army, or to take command of thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army.

With the Fate of thirty thousand Tiger Army added to him, Wang Yang had no fear of the Evil Dragon in the sky; even the force bestowed upon him by the less than five thousand Qingzhou troops he currently had, had allowed his strength to leap beyond his previous peak.

But how to take control of the thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army from Yu Jin, and within a short time, to win the trust of the Tiger Guard Army, was undoubtedly very difficult to accomplish.

If Wang Yang were to simply kill Yu Jin, it would naturally be easy, but to rightfully take over the Tiger Guard Army and moreover, to gain the trust of the entire army, that was the real challenge.

Suddenly, Wang Yang felt somewhat troubled because the Heavenly Dao had endowed him with such great power, which must have been because the Black Dragon had surpassed the original limits set by the Heavenly Dao.

It was thus certain that the power of the Black Dragon was far beyond what an ordinary person could compare to; even an entity like Zhang Xun did not provoke such a vigorous backlash from Heavenly Dao.

Yet the Black Dragon in the sky could actually arouse a sense of crisis in the Heavenly Dao, which precisely proved the extraordinary nature of the Black Dragon, all in the moment of Wang Yang’s thoughts.

In the sky, the Black Dragon became more and more solidified, its lone eye on its forehead, the dragon’s eye streaked with blood, the pupil itself engorged, even without launching an attack,

Wang Yang could feel the Black Dragon’s inherent brutality through the thick layers of clouds and thousands of feet of altitude.

And the Tiger Guard Army on the ground were also gradually becoming overwhelmed; even the Tiger Guard Army, known as the strongest in land warfare, had to give way under such dreadful might.

The aura emitted by the Black Dragon was one of world destruction, chaos, and savagery; this intangible might turned into gusts of wind, blowing towards everyone on the ground.

This demon wind, as it blew over each individual, caused the eyes of any Demons and Monsters touched by it to become bloodshot, turning a blood-red color, and they became even more bloodthirsty.

The Tiger Guard Army, when hit by the wind, found their strength unconsciously weakening. It was February, a time when the world was naturally ice cold.

But the battle robes of the Tiger Guard Army, though not sacred objects that could ward off cold, definitely should have been enough to get them through winter.

With thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army standing together, they absolutely should not have felt cold, but this gust of demon wind made all thirty thousand feel their flesh creep.

As for Wang Yang, who was protected by Fate, this gust of wind did not affect him.

Even Yu Jin couldn’t help but shrink his neck, as if feeling the ice cold between heaven and earth, and this scene naturally didn’t escape Wang Yang’s notice—it seemed that only he was blessed with the Heaven and Earth Qi of destiny.

Wang Yang immediately understood that ordinary people simply could not bear the Force of Destiny, and that to defeat the Black Dragon and eradicate the source of darkness within the city, only he could do it.

And at this moment, Wang Yang realized that if he relied on his own verbal explanations, it would likely be difficult to convince the masses.

Only tangible military achievements could make the thirty thousand Tiger Guard Army respect and submit.

Since further talk was of no use, Wang Yang did not hesitate, drew his sword, and stepped forward; his longsword became a radiant light, turning into a merciless slaughtering machine amongst the demons and monsters.

It was impossible for Wang Yang to completely understand the thoughts of over thirty thousand men, as, after all, the body he inhabited was only that of an ordinary person. To know everyone’s thoughts and gain their trust,

there was only one way. Wang Yang knew neither of other missions nor tricks, and he did not have the conditions to "cut off one’s beard and present it as his head" like Cao Cao did, but he understood that in the army, strength was king.

Yu Jin’s eyes also brightened as Wang Yang entered the fray with his sword, with no demons or monsters able to withstand him. Moreover, it seemed as though those demons and monsters were somewhat reluctantly trying to avoid Wang Yang.

The aura around Wang Yang continued to grow stronger, steadily so, but on the battlefield, in reality, very few people could see what was happening clearly.

After all, they were not watching from the outside, and with two armies genuinely engaged in combat, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Wang Yang. Nonetheless, some of the Tiger Guard Army managed to notice Wang Yang’s performance.

And that contributed, more or less, to Wang Yang’s fate, because he was under Cao Cao’s command, so some of the Tiger Guard Army anticipated that Wang Yang might become their general in the future.

However, Yu Jin was still alive, and at this moment, in their hearts, Yu Jin was the most important, not Wang Yang. Consequently, the majority of Wang Yang’s fate was provided by the few thousand surviving Qingzhou troops.

But even such strength was enough for Wang Yang to slaughter nearly all demons and monsters, because that fate also had the ability to strengthen and regenerate, so the current Wang Yang was absolutely incomparable to the one who fought against Zhang Xun.

"Give up resisting! Your actions now are all in vain!"

Li Feng, unbeknownst to when, sat upon the Dragon Throne, astonishingly perched high in the clouds; Wang Yang’s earlier appearance had only hastened the formation of the Black Dragon.

And now, the Black Dragon’s momentum was fully formed, and Li Feng could hardly wait to control the Black Dragon to roam freely across the world.

"Those who surrender, kneel. I will not hold past grudges against you. I give you ten breaths’ time. If you do not kneel, today, Shouchun will be your burial ground."

In that short span, Li Feng’s aura already soared to the clouds, and within a brief period, that black Qi completely changed his personality.

Of course, the Demonic Qi was merely a catalyst; this state was how Li Feng was truly meant to be.

Such prestige high in the heavens, commanding the Black Dragon to wreak havoc, with an aura as commanding as a rainbow—this was what Li Feng had always desired deep down.

The Tiger Guard Army, just after the demon wind, was already somewhat indecisive; after all, people are inherently lazy creatures. If there was a chance to live, giving up resistance didn’t seem too unacceptable.

Some of the Tiger Guard Army glanced at those around them, seeing some with stern faces, as if the recent demon wind and the words from Li Feng above had no effect on them.

This group was of unyielding will; minor temptations could not shake their resolve. Having faced death and survived, most of the Tiger Guard Army had already become fearless towards life and death, refining an exceedingly strong will.

When Wang Yang saw that some people’s weapons seemed heavier and their figures slightly hunched, he understood that, indeed, in every place there were such people; after all, no one wanted to die, and if it was possible to live, most would choose to cling to life.

The Black Dragon in the sky was definitely not a benign entity, and given that in front of that Black Dragon, Li Feng was not even half the size of the dragon’s eye, one could imagine its enormity.

Moreover, the dragon held a special significance for all Huaxia people, as the Supreme Honor could be termed Son of Heaven, a True Dragon.

And for the Tiger Guard Army now serving under Cao Cao, it’s notable that Cao Cao did not yet have the authority to order the lords by holding the emperor hostage.

In other words, Cao Cao was still part of the Han Imperial Family.
