"This … how is this possible?"
Gao Xianzhi was dazed as he finally sensed the extraordinariness of this long saber. The fact that it could block two flicks from his finger meant that Wang Chong's new weapon was extremely mature. Just the toughness of the blade and the fact that it was not easy to break meant that the quality and level of this weapon had soared, surpassing the vast majority of weapons in the world.
"A good saber! Truly a good saber! I've never seen a saber that can break this rule. Wang Chong, I didn't think that you had this kind of ability. This is truly wonderful! "
As an illustrious Imperial Great General with more than ten years of experience, Gao Xianzhi could almost instinctively sense the immense value of this long saber. Whoosh! Gao Xianzhi reached out and took the eight-foot-long Mo Saber from the embroidered box. After twirling it around in his hand, Gao Xianzhi's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This long saber was easy to hack, and its sturdy and unbreakable blade made it the overlord of sabers.
A single long saber like this might not have been that dazzling, but if tens of thousands of people were equipped with this Mo Saber, it would become a dreadful flood of destruction on the battlefield.
This long saber was a weapon born to rule over the battlefield.
"Wang Chong, how many of these weapons do you have?"
Gao Xianzhi turned to Wang Chong. He suddenly understood what Wang Chong meant by Mo Saber warriors. If he had an elite army fully equipped with this long saber designed by Wang Chong, their lethality would be unimaginable. Moreover, Gao Xianzhi only needed a glance to understand that this eight-foot-long blade was a weapon that Wang Chong had designed for infantry to deal with cavalry.
If this saber slashed down, not only the warhorses, but also the riders riding them would be within the range of the Mo Saber. Gao Xianzhi could totally imagine the scene of men and horses being slaughtered on the battlefield.
"Zhang Shouzhi has already forged more than a hundred of them. As long as you agree, all the craftsmen can work day and night. Within a month, all the Mo Sabers should be completed. Before that, I will have them use wooden sticks instead."
Wang Chong said seriously.
Wang Chong's Mo Saber used many forging techniques that far surpassed those of this era. In terms of weapon materials, Wang Chong had gathered many Arabian scimitars from the battlefield, all of which were made from the finest steel. Coupled with the Extraterrestrial Meteoric Iron and a small amount of WuZi Steel, the Mo Saber now possessed multiple characteristics and became a true top-grade saber.
"Wang Chong, let's do as you wish! I will have the Anxi Protectorate army fully cooperate with you! "
A strange light appeared in Gao Xianzhi's eyes as he made his decision.
Rumble! Not even Gao Xianzhi had expected that the moment he agreed, the entire structure of war on the continent would change. An unprecedented type of soldier would step onto the stage of history!
After sending off Gao Xianzhi, Wang Chong pushed open the door to his room and left. In the training ground in the northern part of Talas, Wang Chong saw Li Siye and more than four thousand and six hundred Wushang cavalry.
"Marquis!"
Upon seeing Wang Chong, Li Siye immediately urged his Ferghana horse forward, one hand on his chest as he gave a deep bow.
"Are you ready?"
Wang Chong raised his head and asked.
"Marquis, be at ease. Everyone is waiting for Marquis's summons!"
"Very good. Take these sheets of paper and have the Wushang Cavalry train day and night. Our time is extremely limited. In one month, all of you must complete the training of this formation," Wang Chong said.
Wang Chong nodded and sternly said.
"Your subordinate will do his utmost!"
Li Siye glanced at the paper, his pupils constricting upon seeing the method written on it. His expression turning grim, he bid farewell to Wang Chong and immediately galloped off.
The Asura Hell!
These were the contents of the two sheets of paper that Wang Chong had given him. Li Siye had been fortunate enough to hear from Wang Chong about the Ten Great Formations. Of these, the Ten Charges Ten Victories Formation cultivated by the Wushang cavalry was ranked last, while the Asura Hell … was ranked second.
… …
In the Lord's Hall of Talas, a door was pushed open, and Gao Xianzhi, dressed in the new armor that Wang Chong had forged, returned to his residence. After taking off the armor, Gao Xianzhi went to his desk and began to read through the documents.
Just like Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi had many military matters to attend to. The treatment of the wounded of the Anxi Protectorate army, the distribution of logistics, the pacification of the Ferghanians and Karluks, the repair of the city walls, the patrols of the scouts … there were far too many things that needed to be taken care of.
By the time Gao Xianzhi finished reading through all the documents, it was already very late.
Gao Xianzhi put the brush back on the brush holder and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't help but reveal a tired expression. Winds foretold a coming storm. Although Talas was currently calm, everyone could feel a powerful pressure. All of the sixty thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were fighting for every second, doing their utmost to strengthen themselves in preparation for the crueler war that was to come.
"Milord has worked hard. Have a cup of tea and rest."
There was a knock on the door, and a guard of the Anxi Protectorate walked in with a cup of tea.
"Put it down."
Gao Xianzhi lightly rapped on the desk.
After the guard left, Gao Xianzhi picked up the fragrant tea on the table. Just as he was about to take a sip, he suddenly glanced at the two thin pieces of paper on the table. A thought flashed through his mind.
"It's the technique that Wang Chong spoke of."
At Gao Xianzhi's level of cultivation, it was very difficult to advance any further. Almost instinctively, Gao Xianzhi did not believe that there was anything that could help him. But in the end, Gao Xianzhi could not bear to brush away Wang Chong's good intentions.
"Let's take a look."
Gao Xianzhi shook his head and smiled. He absentmindedly picked up the two letters and glanced at them. However, with just one glance, Gao Xianzhi felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. His entire body quivered and all his tiredness instantly disappeared without a trace.
"How could something like this happen?"
Gao Xianzhi stared at the words on the paper.
'When the mind is one, Sword Qi enters the void.'
These short words were exactly the same as one of the mantras in the Six Ultimate Majesties God Art that Gao Xianzhi cultivated. Gao Xianzhi abruptly sat up straight and continued reading. His expression became more and more serious, and more and more solemn. When he finished reading the last word, Gao Xianzhi let out a long sigh and slowly raised his head, remaining silent for a long time.
The hall was silent, but at this moment, Gao Xianzhi's heart was in turmoil.
The technique that Wang Chong had given him was actually thirty to forty percent similar to Gao Xianzhi's own martial arts, but the power … was even stronger than Gao Xianzhi's own technique. It was like an upgraded version of Gao Xianzhi's technique! Gao Xianzhi had never encountered this kind of situation before.
Although the two were different, there must be an extremely deep connection between them!
"I have already exhausted all my efforts to search for this lineage of techniques, but there were no other derivative techniques. Could it be that I was wrong? The Six Ultimate Majesties God Art that I cultivate is actually just a derivative version of an even more ancient technique, and there is a more powerful technique above it? "
Gao Xianzhi held the two thin sheets of paper as he muttered to himself, his mind in turmoil.
The study was quiet, but there was an enormous flow of energy swirling around Gao Xianzhi. Gao Xianzhi lowered his head and read the contents of the two sheets of paper several times. In the end, his mind was completely absorbed. After some time …
Bang!
The two heavy doors seemed to be pulled apart by some invisible force, and all the tables and chairs in the hall had been removed. Gao Xianzhi sat cross-legged on the floor, his body exuding an enormous energy. The Stellar Energy in Gao Xianzhi's body began to slowly surge in a direction it had never experienced before.
"Congratulations to user for obtaining the Heart of the General (Gratitude) and obtaining Gao Xianzhi's favor, resulting in a slight change in the history of the war. Reward: 100 points of Destiny Energy!"
… …
At the same time, in the training ground to the north of Talas, the Stone of Destiny's voice suddenly rang out in Wang Chong's mind. Wang Chong suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the Lord's Hall of Talas, where a surge of energy was rising into the sky, and a smile appeared on his face.
Everything was on the right track!
In the apocalyptic era, based on Gao Xianzhi's Six Ultimate Majesties God Art, the Eight Ultimate Sunderings Art, which had been created by the combined power of many supreme experts, had appeared twenty-some years earlier in this life and returned to Gao Xianzhi's hands. History had taken a subtle turn, and Wang Chong's hand had caused it to deviate once more from its original path.
The Eight Ultimate Sunderings Art had strict requirements for its cultivation. The cultivator had to be at least a Great General level, and it would take at least one month from start to finish without any disturbance. This was also why Wang Chong had not initially given the Eight Ultimate Sunderings Art to Gao Xianzhi.
"Tell Cheng Qianli to send more men. No one is allowed to get within one hundred zhang of the Lord's Residence. "
Wang Chong turned his head and ordered a Qixi messenger at his side.
"Yes, Milord!"
… …
Time slowly passed, and while everyone was busy preparing for battle at Talas, sixty-some li away, the Western Turkic camp was also fraught with tension.
"Rumble!"
Thunder boomed through the heavens, and above the Western Turkic camp, thunderclouds were roiling and churning, clouds gathering from all around. At the place where the thunderclouds were most turbulent, a pillar of azure energy soared through the heavens and earth, making it extremely conspicuous.
Looking down along the cyan pillar of Qi, a tall and sturdy figure with a domineering aura floated in midair. This figure was dressed in heavy armor, a black cloak flapping in the wind. His entire body exuded a domineering aura.
