The Heavenly Centipede, also known as the Kissing Beast, was a half-god, half-demon, half-righteous, half-evil beast in Chinese mythology.
It had antlers like a deer, a camel like a camel, claws like a tiger, scales like a hyena, and was able to kill dragons. It was said that it had the bloodline of the Zombie God, Hiderigami, and had the power of curses.
Guanyin, one of the three great Buddhists, rode on a Heavenly Centipede covered in golden fur. It was the top demon immortal of the Jie Sect, the Golden Light Deity. After Yang Ye used the Heavenly Centipede Transformation, he did not have the Golden Light Deity's abilities, but he had mastered the Centipede's signature ability.
Centipede Bark: Xianxia System Sound Wave Technique. Activates any attack to destroy the enemy's resistance, causing additional corrosive damage and a high chance of adding a special effect of 'bad luck'.
Tian Feng was affected by the Centipede Bark, and his hidden attribute of 'absolute loyalty' was broken. The influence of the Heaven and Earth Harmony Poem of Yin-Yang Great Compassion became stronger and stronger, causing his favorability and loyalty towards Yuan Shao to drop.
Yang Ye did not choose to use Magical Control because such a skill would affect a person's intelligence and nature. However, Tian Feng was a strategist and relied on his intelligence to survive. His personality was one of the most important factors in his thinking. With these two changes, Tian Feng was no longer Tian Feng.
Yang Ye wanted to subdue Tian Feng, the upright military advisor, not the puppet Tian Feng. Therefore, he used a new method. Not long after, his efforts worked. Tian Yuanhao lost his mind, his spirit collapsed, his knees became weak, and he knelt on the ground. He finally surrendered.
After dealing with the remnants of the Yuan Family, Yang Ye returned to the palace. Emperor Ling of Han had already finished cleaning up and issued a few imperial edicts. Of course, these were all secretly instructed by Liu Huiniang.
Firstly, Yuan Shao, Wang Fen, and Dong Zhuo were declared traitors. They would be stripped of their positions and their entire family would be killed.
Yang Ye, who had contributed to the rescue of the emperor, would be appointed as the Prime Minister. He would be given the privilege of not having to pay respects to anyone, and he would not be rushed into the court.
Jia Xu would be appointed as the Provincial Governor of Youzhou, Tian Yu as the Wuhuan Lieutenant, Yang Hao as the Provincial Governor of Jingzhou, Ma Chao as the Provincial Governor of Liangzhou, and Liu Biao as the Provincial Governor of Jizhou. They were all under the control of Yang Ye and General He Jin.
The Provincial Governor of Jizhou, Liu Biao, was in charge of Liangzhou, Ma Chao, to guard Hangu Pass and Dong Zhuo. General He Jin to accompany the emperor to return to Luo Yang to wipe out the Yuan Family's power in Si. As for Yang Ye himself, he urgently needed to deal with another urgent matter that was burning his brows.
The scouts reported that the remnants of Black Mountain's Yellow Turban Army, with Zhang Niujiao as the main general, were leading Chu Feiyan, Yang Feng, Yu Du, and other commanders. They were leading an army of hundreds of thousands and were attacking Changshan County. The situation was extremely urgent.
There were less than 20 hours left before the Chosen Saints would enter the Space of Creation in large batches. Time was extremely precious. Although the Yellow Turban Army of Black Mountain was large in number, their quality was not high. They could not be considered a strong enemy. Yang Ye did not want to get involved in this matter personally, but after knowing the identity of the county magistrate of Changshan, he changed his mind and would rather waste some time to go there.
Because the Changshan County Magistrate was Guo Jia, the one who won first place in the Great Han Ancient Scripture Debate. After being rewarded by the Spirit Emperor, he was arranged to train in Changshan County.
After making up his mind, Yang Ye immediately took action. He turned into a Da Peng and brought Ling Kuang and Diao Chan along. They flew for ninety thousand miles and arrived outside Changshan County in an instant.
Yang Ye activated his Clairvoyance and looked straight ahead. He could see the entire battlefield. However, the small Changshan County was surrounded by the Black Mountain Army, and the siege troops were pushing ladders from all directions as they closed in on the city.
Even though the Black Mountain Army suffered a lot of casualties, once the ladders reached the city walls, the consequences would be dire. At this critical moment, the defending troops on the city walls were replaced by three hundred men. They each held a sulfur-coated bow and arrow. When the ladders got close, they shot fire arrows. After a rain of arrows, the ladders caught fire. The soldiers on the ladders were either burned to death or fell to their deaths.
Fire arrows were the nemesis of ladders.
A general appeared in the Black Mountain Army. He was short and sharp. His eyes shone brightly. When he saw that the ladders were blocked, he calmly commanded, "How can this small city defend against the Black Mountain Army? Don't wait for reinforcements. Continue to attack the city. If the ladders are not working, use the chariots."
Following which, the war drums sounded and the Black Mountain Army shouted. They pushed out dozens of beast-shaped chariots that were as large as Grond's battering ram in the Lord of the Rings world. They crashed into the city walls, causing a large area to collapse.
At this critical moment, a white light appeared and protected the city walls of Changshan County. The shattered bricks regrouped and formed a sturdy city wall once again.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The chariots crashed into the city walls again. It was as if they had crashed into an iron wall. They could not break through even half a crack.
"Turning the pieces into the whole and making the city impregnable. What a brilliant strategist. I'm afraid that even Hui Niang or Mr. Jia would not be able to do this. It must be the work of that genius Guo Fengxiao." Yang Ye's eyes were like torches. He immediately saw through the clues.
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the city of Changshan County changed from defense to offense. They used large scale weapons to attack the Black Mountain Army. The trebuchets shot out huge rocks and destroyed the enemy's chariots one by one.
The Black Mountain Army's attack was immediately blocked. Only the general, the short and sturdy man, was calm and composed. He did not care about the losses on his side. Another general beside him asked,
"Feiyan, what should we do next? This new Changshan County Magistrate is very powerful. "
It turned out that the short and sturdy man was none other than the future leader of the Black Mountain Army, Chu Yan. He was as light as a swallow and was brave and good at fighting. He was called "Feiyan" in the army. He had taken Zhang Niujiao as his foster father, so he was also called Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan said, "Brother, don't worry. Changshan County Magistrate Guo Jia is a self-indulgent ruler. Naturally, he is quite capable and should not be underestimated. However, I have already prepared how to break into the city. After a while, the situation will be clear."
As soon as he finished speaking, smoke and dust rose from the inner city of Changshan County. Vigorous battle cries shook the sky. Zhang Yan was immediately happy. He clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, my plan has finally succeeded."
The other leader, Yang Feng, frowned and said, "Feiyan, did you send the digging troops?"
Zhang Yan said, "Yes, I used the diversion tactic. According to the instructions of the spies in the city, since last night, I have sent three thousand shovels to dig the tunnel day and night. I have already dug a passage that leads directly to the inner city. I used the scaling ladders and chariots to attract Guo Jia's attention. Since the Poison Branch Marshal personally led three thousand Yellow Turban Strongmen to go through the secret passage and directly attack the enemy's rear."
However, not long after the two talked, there was a quiet laughter that resounded through the world. On the city wall of Changshan County, a white-faced scholar with a thin and handsome appearance rushed out. Zhang Yan and Yang Feng had fought with him many times, so they recognized his origin. It was Yingchuan's talent, Guo Jia.
Guo Jia shouted on the city wall, "Black Mountain Bandits, your conspiracy has been exposed. Do you still recognize who this is?" After saying that, he gently lifted his leg and kicked a bloody head down from a high place like a football. It rolled right in front of Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan took a closer look and was instantly furious. It was because the head belonged to Yu Du, the leader of the Yellow Turban Strongmen who sneaked into the inner city.
He did not know that Guo Jia was so clever that he had also guessed the Black Mountain Army's siege tactics in advance. He had sent soldiers to dig trenches and lay mines in advance to block the secret passage.
As soon as Yu Du and the others entered the secret passage, Guo Jia had detected their movement route with his "foresight" skill. The imperial army beat them at their own game and detonated the mines, collapsed the trenches, and used the nearby lake water to attack. In an instant, the Yellow Turban Strongmen were like turtles in a jar.
The earth-shattering sound just now was not that the digging army had broken through the pass, but that the imperial army had ignited the mines and used the water attack to complete the excellent record of killing all of them in seconds.
Zhang Yan saw that Guo Jia was so complacent and acted as if there was no one around. He was even angrier and finally made up his mind, "Dog official, you forced me to do this. If you were not so stubborn, I would not have to use the heterodox skills taught by Dong Zhuo."
"Have a taste of my Crouching Tiger, Coiled Dragon, and Deer Net Formation!" While speaking, Zhang Yan took out a formation map from his arms. In an instant, it changed in the wind and showed a green dragon, a colorful tiger, and a silver-horned sika deer.
The three divine beasts turned into the eye of the formation and formed a killing formation. In an instant, the sky darkened, dark clouds rolled, and the wind roared. It was as if they had entered the depths of the eighteen layers of hell.
Guo Jia knew how powerful this formation was and did not dare to be careless. He activated the passive special skill "Ghost Plot" to increase the effect, power, and attack range of the stratagem or special skill. He also resolutely used the skill that was supposed to be exclusive to practitioners — Illusion!
A golden-armored general with a scythe leaped out from the clouds and roared, fighting with the three divine beasts. The green dragon opened its mouth and shot out water pillars like arrows. The colorful tiger bared its fangs and brandished its claws, spitting out two wheels of wind and fire. Its power was comparable to the legendary Prince Nezha's Wind and Fire Wheels. The sika deer adjusted its breath and shook its divine horn, shooting out thousands of Plum Mountain Flying Daggers.
Guo Jia remotely controlled the golden-armored general. He waved his scythe and communicated with Yin and Yang. He firmly controlled the flood, wind, fire, and flying daggers. The more he fought, the fiercer he became. He seemed to have the upper hand for the time being.
Seeing that Mister Guo was so powerful, the people of Mount Chang could not help cheering and praising him. Only Yang Ye secretly saw that the situation was not good. He used the Supreme Devil Ring to make himself invisible and went to the city wall with Drifting Clouds and Smoke.
At this time, the golden-armored general had fought the green dragon, the tiger, and the sika deer for thirty or forty rounds. He was waiting to use the Beast Subduing Spell to determine the victory. Who would have thought that Guo Jia, the controller of the illusion, suddenly felt his Qi and blood surging and his Dantian becoming weak. He could not continue his spiritual power. He sneezed several times, with deep red blood streaks coming out.
"Oh no, my illness, why did it break out at this critical moment?" Guo Jia was a wise man, but it was inevitable that he would make mistakes. He could calculate the people's hearts, but he could not calculate his own health. So he was miserably counterattacked by the Crouching Tiger, Coiled Dragon, and Deer Net Formation.
The green dragon twisted its body and moved like a ghost. It was as fast as lightning and entangled the golden-armored general. The general wanted to struggle, but the sika deer stuck close to him and lowered its head. It lowered its head and stretched out its horn, piercing the general's body with a total of three thousand flying daggers, directly putting him into a state of near death.
The tiger completed a fatal attack. Its tiger claws fell and twisted. In an instant, thousands of peach blossoms bloomed, and the golden-armored general died.
Seeing that the golden-armored general was defeated, Zhang Yan thought that victory was in sight. He continued to command the green dragon, the tiger, and the sika deer to kill the imperial army on the city wall of Mount Chang. Just when Guo Jia and others were unable to resist, disheartened, and determined to die for their country, Yang Ye suddenly appeared. Like a god, he used the Green Dragon Star's Three Straight Hook Punches.
The divine fist that returned to its original simplicity, the martial arts that turned complicated into simple, the essence of defeating the strong when encountering the strong. With three punches, the green dragon, the tiger, and the sika deer were all repelled by one move each.
Both sides on the battlefield of Mount Chang did not know Yang Ye. While they were surprised, Yang Ye had already used the Incarnation Transformation Technique. He divided himself into three. One turned into the Sky Gazing Hou to deal with the green dragon, one turned into the Nine-Headed Lion to subdue the tiger, and the last one turned into the Giant Peng to catch the sika deer with its sharp claws.
The Seventy-two Transformations was the most suitable tactic to counter each other. Yang Ye had been observing the battle for a long time, so he didn't just sit back and watch the show. He secretly used the Origin Tortoise Transformation to calculate the items that could counter the Longhu Deer. Therefore, in an instant, the transformation was effective. The three beasts were captured, and the Coiling Dragon, Crouching Tiger, and Deer Web formation diagram was also taken away by Yang Ye from a distance.
Zhang Yan asked in fear, "May I know your name? Why do you side with the imperial court's dogs and become my enemy?"
Yang Ye laughed and said, "I am the Great Han Dynasty's Prime Minister, Yang Ye. I came to Mount Chang by myself under the Emperor's order. Chu Yan, who do you think you are to be my opponent? I am here to completely conquer the Black Mountain army! "
