Chapter 923: Chapter 50: The 36th Year of the Jingxin Calendar, Prince Liang Dies! (Seeking Monthly Tickets for 15,000 Words)
"I had only heard of Hongyun Coin before, but had never actually seen it," Ye Yuxong sighed, "I didn’t expect it to be so magical. To be blessed by the heavens, how wondrous it is."
Zhao Xing weighed the Hongyun Coin and chuckled, "Not just anyone can use this, Brother Ye, you happen to have the heavenly time and earthly advantage."
Unlike the Purple Gold Ancient Coin, which has various uses, the Hongyun Coin has only two effects.
First, it temporarily increases qi fortune; as long as you carry one, it’s equivalent to having the qi fortune from the Fourth to the Sixth Transition.
The exact amount depends on the condition when the Hongyun Coin was made.
Second, it gathers the fortune of heaven and earth.
The holder can absorb the power within the Hongyun Coin, evoking a resonance with heaven and earth, and receive the heavenly fortune.
The most direct manifestation is to help someone break through to the Second Grade Heavenly Fortune Realm.
This function is strong, but limitations are significant as well.
It requires conditions from the user and also from the environmental factors.
For someone like Zhao Xing, they cannot absorb its power yet, only those close to Second Grade or already at Second Grade can.
Secondly, the heavenly environment.
In the past, the national fate of Great Zhou was like an iron wall, locking the fortune of Pinghai State from flowing out.
Not to mention a single Hongyun Coin, even a mountain of them couldn’t be absorbed.
It was because Prince Liang tore open the Fortune Dynasty System with a divine artifact, causing a split, that Pinghai State’s fortune became evident.
That’s why Zhao Xing said Ye Yuxong had the heavenly time and earthly advantage.
"And also the right people," Ye Yuxong laughed, "If it weren’t for you, young brother, how could I obtain the heavenly fortune? I owe you this favor, I’ll remember it."
"If it weren’t for you, how could I alone possibly kill the cunning Marquis Changwu and seize his treasure?"
Marquis Changwu hid in Dongze County, as long as he was with the three thousand Guard Camp members, even now, Ye Yuxong couldn’t kill him.
The battle array isn’t a joke. If it were easy to kill an enemy leader from within thousands of soldiers, then there would be no need for group training at all.
A single strong warrior doing guerrilla warfare could topple a country.
It’s because of the presence of battle formations, arrays, divine weapons of the Mechanical School, and the surveillance of Yin God, that individual force doesn’t dare to act recklessly.
Under normal circumstances, as soon as Ye Yuxong and Zhao Xing stepped into the boundary monument of Dongze County, they would be discovered by Marquis Changwu.
This indeed was the case, but with Zhao Xing and Ye Yuxong on the move nonstop and with territories vast and county cities far apart, it was hard to get surrounded. If things looked unfavorable, they could retreat.
However, if both of them were to battle against Marquis Changwu and encounter the main army, it would be challenging to escape.
The reason Ye Yuxong said Zhao Xing contributed greatly is because Zhao Xing had the Near and Far and Ten Thousand Skill Avatars.
The movement of the main army was detected by the avatars, and Near and Far was a top-level escape skill, making it hard to be surrounded.
Moreover, during the battle, Ye Yuxong was able to approach Marquis Changwu instantly for a one-hit kill, also thanks to Near and Far and the Midnight Sealing Talisman.
"Brother Ye overpraises, I only did some insignificant things. The true credit for the kill is your Bright Moon Sword Skill," Zhao Xing said.
His top-level Dharma Body did a lot, but it couldn’t kill Marquis Changwu.
"In just 15 minutes, without Brother Ye, when Marquis Changwu’s reinforcements arrived, all one hundred avatars would have perished."
"Ultimately, my top-level skill is only at the Third Transition level; when the avatars use it, it’s now at the Second Transition level."
Zhao Xing’s foundation is still too shallow. If his true self mastered the top-level perfection spell, the top-level Dharma Body would surely excel in the seventh transition.
The number of Dharma Bodies reaching ten thousand, carefully crafting each avatar, that would be terrifying!
"It’s already impressive. You just mastered the top-level Dharma Body, yet you’re able to control so many top-level Dharma Bodies, and even break the defense of Marquis Changwu leading two hundred Guard Camp members, causing light injury."
"In a single combat matchup, even if Marquis Changwu were at third-grade perfection, he would be finished by you."
Ye Yuxong laughed, "If you were to compete in the Dojo, you’d be like a god among them!"
A god in the Dojo! Ye Yuxong’s evaluation was high!
This wasn’t without precedent; Liu Tianning’s performance was right there as proof.
The two boasted for a while, finally returning the topic to Hongyun Coin.
"Brother Ye, we only have one Hongyun Coin, how should we distribute it?"
"You take it. I’ve already broken through, it doesn’t have much use for me now."
"The sword in my hand is my qi fortune, it’s my rule," Ye Yuxong said proudly.
"Young brother, you don’t know, I’m terrifyingly strong now, I could totally carry you... wait, oh no!"
Ye Yuxong’s expression suddenly changed, "Young brother, run quickly!"
"What’s wrong?" Zhao Xing was puzzled; he didn’t sense any danger, the avatars were on alert even thirty miles away.
"Get out of Desert Marsh County quickly!" Ye Yuxong’s tone was a bit urgent, "The Intelligence Department just issued a warning, because Marquis Changwu, who guarded the Dongze passage, suddenly died, Huan You King ordered the Mechanical Master Qi Jun to bombard Desert Marsh County indiscriminately!"
"We must make an emergency evacuation!"
Qi Jun, is Huan You King’s chief Mechanical Master, and a third-grade perfection, commanding a highly formidable mechanical army.
Zhao Xing was startled.
"How much time do we have to evacuate?"
Ye Yuxong pulled out an Earth Mirror, projecting a map:
A red dot flashed on it, indicating the approximate location of Ye Yuxong and Zhao Xing.
"Fifteen armies have set out from Dongze County, Yuanming County’s Tunnel Department, and the Tower Ship Department!"
"The bombardment has already begun!"
"Evacuate in the direction of Yuanming County!" Zhao Xing pointed at the map, and two avatars grabbed Ye Yuxong by the shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
