At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Wang Chong lay amidst piles of corpses, his body covered in wounds. The Stone of Destiny's icy voice of warning was like a waterfall in Wang Chong's mind.
After what seemed like both a second and like countless centuries, Wang Chong finally regained consciousness, all his senses returning to his body. The thick stench of blood filled his nostrils and the clopping of hooves echoed in his ears.
"Hurry! Protect Milord! "
"Stop those Arabs! Kong Zi-an, hurry and save Marquis! "
"No matter what, we can't let Marquis die here. Any one of us can die, but not Marquis!"
… …
A loud and anxious voice rang out, accompanied by the clashing of swords and sabers, as well as the explosion of Qi waves.
It's Li Siye!
As this thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind, Wang Chong heard another boastful voice in Arabic.
"Kill that Tang people! No matter what, they can't be allowed to return alive!"
Wang Chong recognized this voice as belonging to Aybak's deputy, Faisal. As these thoughts flitted through his mind, Wang Chong's mind gradually cleared.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, Li Siye was leading several hundred Wushang Cavalry elites in a fierce battle against the sea of Arab cavalry. Li Siye had never been so anxious in his life. As he stared in the direction Wang Chong had fallen, Li Siye's body went cold, his blood on the verge of flowing out.
He had never respected anyone so much and was even willing to spend his entire life following him. Not even his master had ever done this.
"Marquis, no matter what, you can't be harmed!"
Li Siye's fists were tightly clenched, his entire body trembling. Wang Chong had been heavily injured by Qutaybah and smashed into the ground, his fate unknown.
The moment Li Siye saw this scene, he had immediately led his elite subordinates and charged out of the army, but he had come too late. Everyone was still rushing toward that location. The only thing Li Siye could rejoice about was that the previous battles had left a large number of corpses on the battlefield, and the place where Wang Chong had fallen just so happened to be an uninhabited area. Coupled with the fact that the dust had obscured everything, the Arabs had not been able to find Wang Chong's body among the corpses in a short period of time.
But this could not last for much longer. Li Siye could see that the Mameluke Deputy Commander Faisal was also leading a group of cavalry, and they were even faster than he was.
"Hmph, it's useless. That brat's dead for sure!"
Faisal's sneer resounded over the battlefield as he sent group after group of Arab soldiers to fend off the Wushang Cavalry and impede Li Siye's forces.
The Mamelukes and Wushang Cavalry would forever be the world's strongest foes and adversaries.
And Wang Chong was the highest commander of the Wushang Cavalry, a target that the Mamelukes had to kill. Thus, Faisal had not chosen to follow Aybak and Huoshu Huizang in attacking the Nine Dragon Blood Formation, but to find Wang Chong.
In his heavily injured state, he would take his life once and for all.
"Milord! Found him! "
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear. Faisal's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look, only to see that among the mountains of corpses, one of the corpses was suddenly trembling, as if it was about to climb up. Just this point alone was enough to reveal the identity of the other party.
"Hmph, all of you go block those Wushang Cavalry. Leave this brat to me!"
A sharp killing intent flashed through Faisal's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he sent out a group of several hundred Mamelukes to attack Li Siye. At the same time, he led another group of cavalry to charge toward the piles of corpses. Faisal had heard far too many legends about Wang Chong in this battle.
The Tang Dynasty reinforcements, that mysterious elder, the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner … all of this had arisen because of that youth. Countless people in Arabia had died at his hands. Faisal had originally thought little of the words of Abu Muslim and Ziyad, but now, even he felt that this young commander of the Tang Dynasty would become Arabia's greatest foe in the future.
Just based on the Wushang Cavalry that had killed so many Mamelukes, this person had to die.
"Death God's Blade!"
Just as he was about a hundred feet away from the moving 'corpse', a ring of light shot out from beneath Faisal's feet, and a massive black aura surged out from within his body and shot into the sky. Faisal became one with his horse. With a leap, he suddenly passed through layers of space and charged toward the corpse.
After traveling six to seven zhang in the air, Faisal once more leaped off his horse. After another six to seven zhang, he crashed headfirst into the ground, the scimitar in his hand plunging into the back of the 'corpse', the edge of the scimitar sinking deep into the earth.
In an instant, the raised head of the "corpse" drooped down heavily. Its body, which was originally trembling, quickly stiffened and stopped moving.
"No!"
An earth-shattering shout came from behind. When Li Siye saw this scene, his eye sockets burst open and blood gushed out. An indescribable sorrow and pain swept over him like a tide, drowning him completely. But Faisal's reaction was completely different.
"Success!"
Faisal's lips curled into a savage smile. His body hung upside down, still in the same posture as when he had attacked. However, to Faisal, this was the most exciting moment in his life. It was the moment that gave him the greatest sense of accomplishment.
No matter how formidable the Wushang Cavalry from the east were, the Mamelukes had won the final victory and defended their invincible reputation. In the future, the Mamelukes would bring the head of the Wushang Cavalry Commander back to Baghdad to prove to everyone their success and place it in the Mamelukes' exhibition hall. It would become the undefeated legend of the Mamelukes and another of their conquerors.
Kacha!
Just when Faisal was at his most elated and elated, he suddenly sensed an intense danger. Faisal wanted to dodge, but it was too late. In the time it takes for a spark to fly off of a piece of flint, a slender, bloodstained hand suddenly emerged from the pile of corpses and grabbed Faisal's neck with a single blow.
As Aybak's deputy, Faisal had long ago reached the Brigadier General level of strength. His cultivation was astonishing, and his reaction speed was astonishing. With his strength, he could even dodge a bolt of lightning falling from the top of his head. However, Faisal clearly saw this attack, but he couldn't dodge it at all.
"Not good!"
Faisal paled as he realized that the situation was bad, but it was too late. His opponent had been hiding beneath the corpses, waiting for the right moment to strike, not giving him any room to resist. Not only that, the moment that hand reached out and grabbed Faisal's throat, before Faisal could mobilize his energy to shake off his opponent, another powerful hand had already pressed against his dantian.
Boom! In that instant, like a shower of mercury, Faisal only managed to hold on for an instant before the Stellar Energy in his body surged out of his throat and dantian like water that had leaked out of a dam, madly pouring into those two palms.
"Evil art!"
Faisal's face was filled with shock and fear. He had never encountered such a situation in his life. Even though he was a peak Brigadier General, he could not stop the terrifying suction force from his opponent's body, and all his energy was sucked away. Not only that, but during the entire process, Faisal could not move at all.
"Protect Milord!"
"Kill him!"
All the Mamelukes were dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. No one had expected that the corpse that had 'moved' was not Wang Chong. The real Wang Chong was at the bottom of the pile of corpses, and he had even subdued the Mameluke Vice Commander Faisal with a single blow.
Clangclangclang!
In the blink of an eye, ten-some elite Mamelukes charged at Wang Chong from all sides, their scimitars swinging and scimitars swinging in his direction. But then, boom! Stellar Energy surged, and the images of a sun and moon appeared on Wang Chong's shoulders. Gales began to gather, and a powerful suction force erupted.
"Ah!"
Panicked screams filled the air as the weapons of these unstoppable Mamelukes flew out of their hands. Not only that, under the terrifying pull of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, all of them, horses, and even the energy in their bodies, flew uncontrollably toward Wang Chong.
Thudthudthud!
With one explosion after another, ten-some Mamelukes crashed into Wang Chong as if they had been attracted by a magnet. The people in the back crashed into the cavalry in front and were similarly sucked in. The energy of these Mamelukes surged like a river into Wang Chong's body, causing all their essence blood and energy to be rapidly drained away.
Not only that, under the effects of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, the Mamelukes began to shrivel up like a punctured balloon.
Not even Faisal could resist Wang Chong's terrifying suction force, much less these ordinary Mamelukes.
"No! Save me! "
The Mamelukes were terrified and wanted to struggle to escape, but in just a few moments, all the energy in their bodies had been drained away. In the blink of an eye, they had been reduced to desiccated corpses.
Their cultivations were far inferior to Faisal's, so they died even faster.
And with the energy of these Mamelukes, Wang Chong's strength rapidly swelled, and the injuries he had sustained from Qutaybah's attack instantly healed.
This was one of the strengths of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. The same injuries inflicted on Wang Chong were much lighter, and they healed much faster.
