Chapter 102: Leaving the Battlefield With Trophies

Ting! Ting! Ting!

The bright moon appeared aqueous in the sky, and pleasant music was coming from the lake.

Pa!

The music came to an abrupt halt when a transparent string on the instrument broke into halves during the performance.

“Young Master, do we really have to leave before dawn?”

At the pavilion where a lantern was waving, Nie Xiaoqian stopped playing, but her white dress was still moving along with the wind.

She raised her head and looked at Ji Ye who was sitting opposite her with a reluctant expression on her face.

“You have to, because I’ll have to leave tomorrow. I must send you to the netherworld tonight so that your soul wouldn’t crumble!” said Ji Ye while staring at her eyes.

Nine days had passed since they surrounded and annihilated the Tree Demon.

Four days earlier, Nie Xiaoqian’s soul had been recovered to the point where she could leave the Totem Wolf Skin and appear before him at night.

Therefore, he had really enjoyed the privileges of a Young Master in ancient times during these days.

Reading books at night with a girl nearby and understanding sword arts while listening to her music performance were truly relaxing.

However, the relaxing days couldn’t last any longer, because the Battlefield of Providence would be closed tomorrow.

Actually, the battlefield in this area had been closed since nine days earlier.

That was because they acquired the location of the remaining two enemies after they killed Granny Tree Demon. Those enemies were in the county town 1.5 kilometers away from Lanruo Temple.

Also, the enemies weren’t protected by the black-armored guards. Under such circumstances, the two enemies who were only Silver Cards couldn’t beat four earthlings at all. They were taken down more than easily.

After that, the earthlings were already free to leave the Battlefield of Providence.

But nobody decided to go. Based on the Black Mountain Armor, Granny Tree Demon’s seed, and the lingerie that Fatty Zhu got, they realized that they could acquire much more from the Battlefield of Providence than merely the returns for killing hostile players.

Therefore, they naturally focused their attention on Black Mountain, the theoretically biggest BOSS in this place!

After preparing themselves for three days, and when Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen’s inner strength both reached Extraordinary Rank-4, they launched a final attack.

This battle was slightly difficult.

As a valiant general, Black Mountain was quite strong. His black saber could even slash out a scorching aura almost ten feet long that could cut rocks apart!

Also, when the thirty Ordinary Rank-6 Black Mountain Guards formed a battle formation, they activated the extraordinary power within the Black Mountain Armor, which allowed them to confront the Extraordinary contestants openly.

However, Lu Zhishen, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-4, was able to break through the battle formation with his amazing strength in the end, while Ji Ye and the red-haired hero killed Black Mountain at the risk of being wounded.

After Black Mountain died, two kinds of spoils were given, namely a set of Black Mountain Armor, which was an Extraordinary Rank-5 offering, and a book titled Black Mountain Formations.

Considering that the Black Mountain Armor was really useful for the Twin Dragon Mount, after discussing with Fatty Zhu and the others, Ji Ye traded all the items from the four hostile contestants, except the white-jade flying sword, the miasma gourd, and a few others, for all the Black Mountain Armors.

After that, both Fatty Zhu and Katerina chose to leave, before someone in their settlement touched their bodies urgently.

It must’ve been because of the enemy’s invasion.

Lu Zhishen, on the other hand, also left the battlefield with a batch of Black Mountain Armors.

Ji Ye was the only one who stayed.

He stayed because time flowed faster on the Battlefield of Providence, which was easier for his Fusion talent to cool down. Also, he wanted to confirm a few speculations.

But he had to leave on this day, because the information in his head told him that not just the Battlefield of Providence, but the City of Humans was about to be closed too!

“Let’s go!”

Looking at the horizon which was already turning bright, Ji Ye nodded at Nie Xiaoqian and said that.

He held a brush and drew several talismans with cinnabar. When they were thrown to air and burnt, a vague gate was established above the lake.

As a professional, Ninth Uncle naturally had a way to navigate ghosts. This Soul Direction Talisman, one of the Five Thunder Talismans in the Maoshan Arts, could open a gate and send ghosts to be reincarnated when fully prepared.

“Young Master!”

Nie Xiaoqian floated to the gate, but she turned her head back now and then and looked at Ji Ye.

“Off you go, and pray that you are born into a good family in your next life!”

Ji Ye nodded at her.

Naturally, that was some sort of self-comfort.

This was the Battlefield of Providence, which would collapse after he left…

In the blink of an eye, the gate disappeared, leaving nothing but a white veil that fell to Ji Ye’s hand from the sky.

“Sir, I’m here to bid you farewell!”

The next morning, Ji Ye talked to Yan Chixia who was practicing his sword arts in the Lanruo Temple, which was no longer haunted.

“Huh? Did I hear you right? You’re finally leaving?”

“Fine. Even though your Demon Slaying Sword Art is still crummy, it can more or less be called a sword art now, and I’ve fulfilled my promise!” said Yan Chixia with a complicated expression after a brief stun.

Through Yan Chixia, Ji Ye actually figured out why two contestants won Black Mountain’s support while the other two had to act independently.

It was because the heroes all had their own preferences even though they were allies.

For example, Yan Chixia had been quite nice to him but never bothered to look at Fatty Zhu.

Black Mountain probably didn’t like the other two players either, so they had to act on their own, which gave the earthlings a chance to divide and conquer.

“Right, take this and feed your flying sword. Don’t let the good stuff be wasted.”

While Ji Ye was thinking that, Yan Chixia had returned to his room and fetched something for him.

The white-jade flying sword that Ji Ye acquired from the player from the plane of cultivators was actually a piece of Extraordinary Rank-three Superior equipment. No wonder it wasn’t broken when it suffered consecutive hits from Ji Ye’s Black Serpent Sword.

Because he got this item, Ji Ye asked Yan Chixia about the tricks to use a flying sword.

After listening to Nie Xiaoqian’s performance for days, his mental strength had already reached Rank-4. If he were to use this flying sword, it would be much more powerful than when it was used by its previous owner.

“Well… Thank you, sir!”

When Ji Ye saw that Yan Chixia was giving him a talisman that was drawn on a skin-textured material, he was touched and even felt guilty.

It was because the item was a Sword Breeding Talisman.

When it was stuck to the container of a sword, it could let the sword accumulate spiritual energy continuously.

Then, when it was unleashed from the container for the first time, it could deal a damage one rank greater than it should’ve.

That was the reason why Yan Chixia was able to destroy the formation that Granny Tree Demon prepared for a hundred years and heavily wounded it!

Mr. Yan, I’m really sorry.

[You’ve chosen to leave the Battlefield of Providence. Rewards: 320 Civilization Coins for executing Black Mountain, 180 Civilization Coins for executing the Tree Demon… You’ve received 1,010 Civilization Coins in total!]

It was twice as many as when he came in. This trip was certainly worth it.

However, the important thing was what came next!

[You’re taking the following items out: The White-Jade Sword Container, the Miasma Gourd, the Black Serpent Sword… the Healing Crystal, the Black Mountain Saber. Cost: 350 Civilization Coins and some power of providence!]

“Is this really possible?”

Unusual delight popped up in Ji Ye’s eyes.

He had specifically stayed for a few more days partly to learn sword arts from Yan Chixia and partly to wait for the Fusion talent to cool down in order to test something.

Over the past few days, he performed Fusion three times besides practicing the “Nine Yang Divine Art”.

In the first fusion, he fused the Rejuvenation Bead with the Red Crystals whose artificial blood had been used up, creating a green “Healing Crystal”.

In the second fusion, he fused the spoils he got from hostile players with Black Mountain’s weapon, which was a saber damaged and deprived of Extraordinary power during the battle, thereby creating a Black Mountain Saber.

In the third fusion, he fused two items that belonged to the world of the Battlefield of Providence.

At this moment, he saw the results.

Clearly, in the first and second scenarios, he could take the fused items out of the Battlefield of Providence at the cost of some Civilization Coins as well as the power of providence that he obtained after securing a victory on the battlefield!

That was definitely something very significant.

This battlefield was just A Chinese Ghost Story, and there weren’t many powerful artifacts for him to take out.

However, in the battlefields such as A Journey to the West, White Snake, Legend of Gods, Avengers… there would be too many things that he could consider fusing.

“Maybe I should start saving money now… I should bring a businessman with me next time I go to the City of Humans.

“Okay, time to return to the Twin Dragon Mount!”

After that, Ji Ye didn’t dawdle in the City of Humans, which was about to be closed, but directly returned to the Twin Dragon Mount.
