The Desert Ruler was crouching at the edge of the desert, holding the Gengjin Eagle down with all its might. The Desert Ruler had completely transformed.
His thick arms swelled more than twice as much as before, and sharp sand spikes formed a row on both sides of his spine.
Its strong tail swept across the sand, stirring up strong winds.
The muscles on its shoulders were exaggerated and explosive, and its inverted deltoid muscles formed a perfect triangle.
The heads of the sand monsters on its shoulders were twisted and groaning in pain. If the Desert Ruler had been human-like before, it was now akin to a rampaging monster.
In terms of level, the Desert Ruler was lower than the Gengjin Eagle.
However, a battle was a battle of life and death, and opportunities were fleeting. The greatest joy of a battle was the unknown. Until the very last moment, no one would know who the final victor would be.
The environment, condition, and battle experience were all factors that influenced the outcome of a battle.
If the battle had been in an open space, the Gengjin Eagle would have been able to outlast the Desert Ruler. The Desert Ruler couldn't even penetrate its feathers, but the Gengjin Eagle could.
It was just like how a tiger could kill a rhinoceros on a wide plain, but if the two met in a narrow passage, the tiger would probably curse.
However, this was the Desert Ruler's home ground, and there were so many sand monsters around. The real highlight of the battle was the Desert Ruler's sudden burst of strength that completely overturned the Gengjin Eagle's flying advantage.
The Desert Ruler's special ability was called Sand Fusion. One of its effects was to absorb all the sand monsters and increase its strength in a short period of time.
After absorbing so many sand monsters this time, who knew how long it would take for the Desert Ruler to gather so many sand monsters again?
"Get ready …" Gao Peng was about to give the order. The Gengjin Eagle was Chang 'an's guardian angel, and he couldn't let it die here.
Before he could finish his sentence, a shadow rushed out from below.
The black cloth covering its body was torn to shreds.
It was wearing a battle robe and a swallow-tailed crown. It held a sword in its left hand, and its hair was combed into a bun on the right side.
[Monster Name]: Terracotta Soldier (Meng Tian)
[Monster Level]: Level 44
[Monster Grade]: Epic
[Monster Attribute]: Corpse/Dark
[Monster Ability]: Superhuman Strength Level 2
Strengthened Armor Level 4
[Special Characteristics]: Corpse Figurine (The corpse figurine on the surface of its body has undergone a mysterious evolution.
Passive Effect 1: It can absorb corpse energy to strengthen the hardness of the corpse figurines.
Active Effect 2: Consume the corpse aura inside the corpse figurine to temporarily increase the host's overall attributes. There are no negative effects but the duration of the outburst is shorter.)
[Monster Description]: A famous general of the human race when he was alive. After being poisoned, he was buried in a tomb. Because he was made into the Terracotta Army, his soul was unable to leave his body.
The grey mist exploded on the surface of the terracotta soldier's body. If one did not observe carefully, one would not be able to see it.
The others thought that it was the gas that was naturally emitted from the terracotta soldier's body.
However, Gao Peng saw it clearly. This should be the active effect of the Corpse Figurine's ability. After it was activated, it could temporarily increase the host's overall attributes.
Terracotta Qin's speed was getting faster and faster, as its powerful aura shot up into the sky along with a monstrous airflow.
The Desert Ruler took a deep breath and let go of one of its hands before stabbing it into the ground.
Rumble —
Along the way, the terracotta soldiers of Qin dug out a large number of sand hands from the desert and slapped towards it. Between the gaps of each sand hand, a large amount of sand fell down like a waterfall.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Sand and dust filled the air.
A black figure shot through the sand hands like a shooting star.
"Hmm?" The Desert Ruler's right hand suddenly slipped, and a powerful force rose from its body.
Although the Gengjin Eagle was no match for the Desert Ruler in terms of strength, it was still a Lord-tier familiar that was three levels higher than the Desert Ruler.
Screech!
Golden light burst forth.
The Gengjin Eagle rose from the ground, its wings glowing with a brilliant golden light.
The Desert Ruler staggered back a few steps as he slammed his fist into the ground.
The Gengjin Eagle took advantage of the momentum and soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it was thousands of miles away.
On the other side, the terracotta soldier suddenly turned back. Meng Tian's stiff face flashed a smile, as if his plan had succeeded.
Then, he turned around and left Dali Desert. He did not want to fight the Desert Ruler.
He was avoiding the enemy's main force and attacking its weak points.
Even though it had woken up after sleeping for thousands of years, some of the strategies were still deeply engraved in its memory.
Its instincts told it that the Desert Ruler was in an extremely powerful state.
To Meng Tian, the Terracotta Soldier, the Desert Ruler was like a blazing sun in the desert.
He did not believe that the Desert Ruler would remain in such a state for long. Furthermore, he had only come here to complete the deal between His Majesty and the humans. He did not want to make the Desert Ruler his enemy.
The Desert Ruler looked up at the Golden Deity, then looked down at the Terracotta Soldier that had escaped from the desert.
Meng Tian could not tell if the Desert Ruler was happy or angry.
Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Golden Deity had escaped. Then, his expression turned grim. He had to admit that he had underestimated the Desert Ruler.
He had underestimated the Desert Ruler's combat sense and intuition.
Unfortunately, the Desert Ruler did not want to leave the desert. If it could, Yang Ling would have prepared a huge surprise for it.
And he didn't expect the Golden Deity to be at a disadvantage in the battle …
He had no choice but to use his trump card.
Damn it.
Yang Ling was not satisfied.
"Let's retreat." Yang Ling waved his hand and left.
Gao Peng stood on the sand dune as he watched the army leave.
At the edge of the desert, the Desert Ruler slowly walked towards the depths of the desert.
"That's my grandson … My son sacrificed himself to protect the people during the early days of the Cataclysm. I only have one grandson left. I will pass away one day, and I only hope that when I do, he will be able to protect himself."
In an underground room in the Chang 'an military base, an old general in military uniform spoke slowly.
Across from him sat another old general.
"I have nothing else to ask for. I am sixty-six years old this year, and I have no children. I have no relatives. All I want is for that monster to accompany my grandson in hell, "the old general said softly.
"This time, I will bear all the responsibility. I will bear all the responsibility."
The room fell into a dead silence.
"Let's not provoke that monster for now. Once I have a Lord-tier Ice-type familiar, I will come back to subdue the Desert Ruler."
Gao Peng did not want to fight the Desert Ruler on its home turf.
Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling rose from the bottom of Gao Peng's heart. This was a … threat that he hadn't felt in a long time.
Dumb, who was beside him, burst into flames. He grabbed Gao Peng and threw him to the ground.
Gao Peng, who was lying on the ground, looked through Dumb's skeleton and saw something black flying towards the desert.
What was that?
Before Gao Peng could figure it out …
Extremely resplendent rays of light blossomed in the depths of the desert. How could one describe this scene with words?
Shocking.
Magnificent.
It was as if the sun had exploded.
BOOM!!!
