"Unforgivable!"
Qutaybah raised his head and stared at Wang Chong, his entire body exploding with a dreadful killing intent.
Bang!
Destructive Stellar Energy erupted from Qutaybah's body like an erupting volcano, sweeping through the battlefield like a storm.
Thudthudthud!
Wang Chong, Wang Yan, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and even Banahan, Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi, and Li Siye were all sent flying like ragdolls to the ground. Plush! The moment his body hit the ground, Wang Chong's body trembled and he vomited blood.
"Too powerful!"
Wang Chong struggled to his feet, his eyes gloomy as he stared at that figure in the sky. Qutaybah's strength had already surpassed his imagination. The four of them were simply incapable of stopping him.
In the air, Qutaybah's killing intent surged, and the area one hundred feet around him began to twist and distort.
Bang!
In a flash of golden light, Qutaybah gripped his sword with both hands and slashed it through the air, his target clearly Wang Chong.
Qutaybah's hate-filled attack was as swift as a bolt of lightning. Before anyone could react, the sword was already upon Wang Chong's face. With Qutaybah's terrifying strength, if this attack struck, Wang Chong would be doomed.
"Marquis!"
"Milord!"
"Chong-er!"
… …
The eyes of the Wushang cavalry and Qixi Protectorate went red, and Gao Xianzhi and the others felt like their insides were aflame.
But all of them had been injured in the battle with Qutaybah. Even though they could see this, they were powerless to save Wang Chong.
Just when Wang Chong was about to lose his life to Qutaybah's sword, the situation suddenly changed …
"Stop!"
An aged roar exploded from afar, like a landslide or a tsunami. In the blink of an eye, Origin Energy went berserk. As countless people watched in shock, the Origin Energy of the world converged into an Origin Energy storm, wreathed in destructive energy, that appeared in front of Wang Chong and slammed into Qutaybah.
The appearance of this storm was very abrupt. As the storm spun, it emitted bursts of heart-palpitating rumbling sounds. Even the void seemed to be unable to withstand this enormous force. It emitted sizzling sounds as a series of dents appeared.
Qutaybah's eyes chilled at the sight of this Origin Energy storm. Instead of dodging, he stepped forward and slashed at the Origin Energy storm. Rumble! In a flash of golden light, the Origin Energy storm that had appeared out of nowhere was cleaved in two by Qutaybah's sword and dissipated into the air.
As the Origin Energy storm dissipated, Qutaybah was finally able to see what had happened behind it.
In the air, the azure hand condensed from Origin Energy was dragging Wang Chong back.
Even someone as experienced as Qutaybah couldn't help but widen his eyes at this unprecedented sight, and a hint of solemnity appeared on his face. But Qutaybah quickly reacted, his eyes even colder and harsher than before.
"Do you think you can escape from me!?"
Qutaybah gripped his sword with both hands and unleashed another mighty slash at Wang Chong with the momentum of a thunderbolt. Qutaybah had spent his entire life fighting, and ever since he had taken the position of Governor of War, he had never been defeated, much less injured. But Wang Chong had not only injured him, but also pierced his palm, causing him to bleed a drop of precious blood on the battlefield. This was something that Qutaybah could not tolerate. No matter what, he had to die.
"Boom!"
Sword Qi whistled through the air, causing the entire world to wail in fear at the might of Qutaybah's sword. Although he was also an Imperial Great General, Qutaybah was far more powerful than any mortal could imagine. Just when it seemed like Wang Chong was about to lose his life to Qutaybah's sword, there was a flash of light, and then a figure charged into Qutaybah's sword with astonishing speed.
"Who goes there? How dare you injure my disciple!! "
An old roar filled with rage erupted. At the same time, a terrifying fist force that shook the heavens and the earth, like a landslide or tsunami, also erupted.
"Boom!"
No one could describe this explosion. The entire world seemed to explode, the shockwaves rising nearly one thousand feet into the air, even suppressing the battlefield that was several dozen feet wide. When all of this dissipated, Qutaybah stood with his sword in both hands, radiating golden light. His opponent was a black-robed, white-haired elder in a loose robe who was shielding Wang Chong behind him, his eyes blazing with rage.
In that instant, the surroundings were silent, and even time seemed to have stopped.
"Just who are you? You were actually able to receive a full-strength attack from me! "
Qutaybah stared at the nearby black-robed elder, his expression grave as if he was facing a powerful foe.
Qutaybah had fought for decades and had always been undefeatable. No one had ever been able to rely on a pair of bare fists to receive a full-strength blow from his giant sword, God's Might.
"Where did this uncivilized barbarian come from that dares to act so atrociously in front of this old man!"
The Evil Emperor stood in front of Wang Chong, his hair and beard dancing in the wind, his entire body seething with rage.
Silence!
Absolute silence!
Whether it was the Governor of War or the Demonic Emperor Old Man, neither of them could understand what the other was saying, but the two continued to oppose each other, neither willing to back down. Qutaybah's pupils constricted as he stared at the Demonic Emperor Old Man like needles, sizing him up in search of a weakness. But even as his hands gripped God's Might, he still did not attack.
The Governor of War had never feared battle, nor did he fear battle. The stronger the enemy, the more interested he became. But this time, Qutaybah did not attack as recklessly as he usually did. For the first time, he had encountered an opponent of unfathomable strength that was difficult to deal with.
Very difficult to deal with!
Qutaybah thought to himself as he stared at the Evil Emperor.
As Qutaybah was examining the Evil Emperor, the Evil Emperor was also examining Qutaybah.
An extremely powerful barbarian!
This was the Evil Emperor's first thought.
The martial arts of the Central Plains were flourishing, and the various sects were filled with heroes and experts. Although there were formidable experts outside the Central Plains, the majority of them were equivalent to sect masters. Very few of them were as powerful as this barbarian wearing golden armor. The Evil Emperor could sense that this barbarian had at least touched upon that subtle realm of cultivation. This was simply inconceivable to the Evil Emperor.
"Master, be careful. This person is called Qutaybah, the Arab War God."
A feeble voice sounded from behind him. Wang Chong supported himself with his hand, and with great difficulty, he raised his body. Qutaybah was simply too powerful, and the only person who could deal with him was his master, the Evil Emperor. At the peak of his power, his master had been one of the strongest martial artists of the Central Plains, the strongest of the Tang Dynasty's forces.
If not even his master could deal with Qutaybah, then Qutaybah would truly be invincible.
"Chong-er, there's no need to worry. Leave this person to me."
The Evil Emperor did not even turn his head as he stared at Qutaybah.
The Evil Emperor wanted to fight with Qutaybah, but he had a rather apprehensive look on his face.
If he were alone, the Evil Emperor would have already attacked, but in Wang Chong's current condition, the two of them were likely to be caught up in the shockwaves. In this situation, the Evil Emperor simply could not fight with his full strength.
Just as their auras surged and they were about to attack each other, before they could do so, DONG! War drums began to beat, and at the same time, to the east of Talas, the earth quaked, dust churned, and the sounds of fighting shook the heavens. Countless soldiers were now charging toward Talas.
The army had yet to appear, but above the smoke and dust, spirit Qi shot up into the sky. Under the influence of an invisible force, the air was distorted, and huge sabers, axes, and swords appeared in the air. The aura was astonishing.
"Kill!"
Battle cries shook the heavens. On the eastern side of Talas, there was a flash of light as the fully-armored Tang Dynasty soldiers charged over the hills like a storm, surging toward the battlefield like a tide.
"What's going on here?"
Beneath the black war banner, Ziyad's eyes widened at this sight. Arabia had more than four hundred thousand elite soldiers. If these were just ordinary reinforcements, someone of Ziyad's strength wouldn't have cared, but these soldiers gave him the feeling that they were on par with Gao Xianzhi's Iron Wall Army. If that was all there was to it, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But what shocked Ziyad the most was that there were tens of thousands of soldiers like the Iron Wall Army, at least twenty to thirty thousand, perhaps even more.
How could this be?!
At this moment, even Governor Osman couldn't help but grimace. He had originally believed that he understood the Tang Dynasty, but it now appeared that the Tang Dynasty was far stronger than he had imagined.
"Everyone, follow me! Attack! "
On a high hill, a black warhorse with a white rhombus-shaped mark on its forehead stood out like a sore thumb. Wang Chong's second brother, Wang Bei, was riding on his horse. When he saw this sight, his eyes went red and his blood began to boil as he charged down the hill.
"Kill!"
Behind Wang Bei, everyone was seething with rage as they stared at the distant Arab army surging through the gap in the steel wall like a bolt of lightning.
The Divine Martial Army, the Dragon Stallion Army, the Roaring Tiger Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Divine Prison Army … all the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were surging toward the battlefield. Although there were only sixty thousand of them, the energy they exuded was enough to topple mountains and overturn seas, even surpassing that of the Arab army.
"Mo Saber Unit, move out!"
But the first to move out were not the elite reinforcements like the Divine Martial Army or the Dragon Stallion Army, but the Mo Saber Unit at the rear of the battlefield.
"Boom!"
