Rumble! The earth quaked, and in the distance, the majestic city of Talas fiercely shuddered as an enormous energy appeared in everyone's perception. That energy was so vast that it felt like a boundless ocean in everyone's perception. It was enough to make any cultivator pale in comparison. Even a powerful existence like Qutaybah instantly became insignificant in the face of this energy.
"This is …!"
Abu Muslim, Aybak, Ziyad, and Huoshu Huizang all grimaced as they sensed this tide of energy erupting from beneath Talas. Even Qutaybah's Sword Qi froze for a moment.
"This is … the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation!"
As Dalun Ruozan looked into the distance, his eyes went wide.
There was only one object of this level of energy beneath the walls of Talas: the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation that had supported the City of Talas for thousands of years. But this energy had always been extremely stable, and it was impossible to sense its flow. This sort of berserk state should never have occurred under normal circumstances.
"These bastards, just what did they do!?"
For a moment, Dalun Ruozan felt an intense sense of unease. But as if responding to his thoughts, the earth began to rumble, and in a few short moments, the tremors had reached an astonishing level.
Everyone could sense that the energy of the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation beneath Talas was traveling with astonishing speed through a special channel, surging through the earth to the feet of Wang Chong and the Evil Emperor, where it resonated with the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner in the hands of the black-armored guard.
In a flash, the energies of Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, the Chief Of Wushang, the black-armored guard, and Gao Xianzhi began to swell, fusing together into an enormous formation.
At the center of this formation was not the black-armored guard with the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner, but Wang Chong standing across from Qutaybah.
"Not good! Kill him! "
A heaven-shaking roar resounded through the sky as Abu Muslim immediately began to attack Wang Chong. At almost the same time, Aybak, Huoshu Huicang, and Ziyad also began to frantically attack Wang Chong, their faces filled with worry.
No one knew what the Tang people had done, nor did they know what they had done to the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation, but there was no question that all of this had been premeditated. Wang Chong and the remnants of the Tang Dynasty had never truly intended to retreat to the Western Regions. Everything they had done, whether it was their escape or their order for the army to abandon Talas and flee to the Western Regions, had been to confuse them, to lure them into this place.
"Abu Muslim, Qutaybah, have the two of you finally realized? Alas, it's too late! "
Wang Chong's voice resounded in everyone's ears, and then Wang Chong's energy began to swell. Through the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner, Wang Chong had simultaneously absorbed the energy of the Evil Emperor, the Chief Of Wushang, Gao Xianzhi, the black-armored guard, and the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation beneath Talas. This energy was extremely dense and almost tangible, surging through Wang Chong's pores and limbs like a tide and madly pouring into his body.
This was an enormous energy that Wang Chong had never encountered before, and no energy in Wang Chong's life had ever been able to compare to it. Propelled by this energy, Wang Chong's cultivation reached an inconceivable level.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art rumbled through his body, and the image of the sun and moon reached an astonishing level. Under the illumination of the sun and moon, Wang Chong's energy soared. In the blink of an eye, he had not only surpassed Abu Muslim, but even the Arab War God Qutaybah had become insignificant before Wang Chong.
"Buzz!"
Qutaybah's pupils constricted, and a look of extreme apprehension appeared on his face.
No one knew how Wang Chong had managed to do this.
The Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation that had remained untouched for the past one thousand years had actually been used on a proper battlefield.
Qutaybah was powerful, but not so powerful that he could single-handedly contend against the entire Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation.
"Seeking death!"
Qutaybah's expression chilled as his massive sword, God's Might, shot forward, fusing together with the Sword Qi, and then slashed at Wang Chong's head, moving even faster than Abu Muslim and Aybak's attacks.
"Kill them!"
Aybak's shrill cries resounded over the battlefield. Aybak hoped to use this massive number of Arab cavalry to charge at Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, the Chief Of Wushang, and Gao Xianzhi, weakening their attacks.
But even so, it was too late.
Aybak finally realized that around Wang Chong and the Evil Emperor, the Divine Martial Army, the Divine Prison Army, the Dragon Stallion Army, and the Tongluo Cavalry had at some point fused with Wang Chong's forces to form an enormous formation for the first defense line.
These top-class armies of the Tang Dynasty had used the excuse of holding off the Arab cavalry and holding off the retreat of the Tang people. They had worked together with Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, and the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner to form this formation that could communicate with the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation.
All of this had been accomplished silently. When Dalun Ruozan had tricked and defeated Wang Chong, Wang Chong's forces had used this opportunity to retreat and successfully lure Qutaybah into this ambush.
"Qutaybah, accept your fate! Today, this will be the place of your burial! "
Wang Chong's loud and impassioned voice resounded through the universe. Rumble! Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong communicated with the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner and unleashed the energy that the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation had accumulated for thousands of years.
"Boom!"
Behind Wang Chong, the towering and imposing City of Talas that had stood for centuries suddenly began to shudder. It was like a pair of invisible hands were gripping the City of Talas and causing it to sway. The moment Wang Chong attacked, the massive City of Talas collapsed.
At almost the same time, the earth quaked and mountains crumbled. There was a boom like the beginning of the universe, and a vast and unimaginable energy struck Qutaybah like a meteor crashing into the Earth. Translated by: Hypersheep325 Edited by: Michyrr Qutaybah's dreadful Sword Qi only lasted for a few moments before being pulverized by the most enormous flood of energy in history.
After shattering Qutaybah's Sword Qi, the destructive Earth Element energy struck the Arab War God, sweeping up all the people behind him, including Abu Muslim, Aybak, Huoshu Huizang, and Ziyad. Even the charging Arab cavalry were engulfed by the raging tide of energy.
"Ah!"
Amidst the rumbling sounds of explosions, numerous shrill and miserable cries seemed to be especially ear piercing, and in the blink of an eye, countless severed limbs were tossed into the sky. The charging Arab warhorses could even dent steel, but in the face of this destructive flood of Earth Element energy, countless Arab warhorses and their steel armor were torn to shreds like they were made of paper.
Boomboomboom!
Wave after wave of explosions erupted around the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner as the center, and the dense ranks of Arab cavalry charged into this area. In order to prevent the Tang people from escaping, six to seven thousand Arab cavalry had gathered at the very front of the battlefield. But when Wang Chong activated the energy of the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation and unleashed it, all these elite cavalry were instantly obliterated, their corpses obliterated.
Explosions resounded through the heavens, and a thick cloud of dust soared tens of thousands of feet into the air. Amidst the smoke and dust, countless pieces of rubble shot out in all directions, hitting the ground and the steel walls. It was as if those were not rubble, but sharp arrows.
Neigh!
At this moment, countless warhorses neighed in alarm, and many well-trained cavalry were thrown off their horses. The entire battlefield was in a state of panic.
Everything had happened too suddenly. No one had expected that the Tang people, who were at the end of their rope and could only flee in panic, would use this move at the final moment. Six to seven thousand Arab cavalry had been vaporized, and it was unknown whether Qutaybah, Abu Muslim, Aybak, and Huoshu Huizang were still alive.
"This … this is impossible!"
In the distance, Dalun Ruozan's eyes widened, and his entire body seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning.
"Impossible! This is impossible! "
Dust churned in the distance, but Dalun Ruozan felt like he had been plunged into an icehouse, his heart chilled. If one looked carefully, one would even notice that his hands, hidden deep within his sleeves, were fiercely trembling. That calm and composed face of a commander had long ago turned ghastly pale.
Dalun Ruozan had never imagined that Wang Chong, despite the Tang Dynasty clearly having lost, would turn around and kill him.
For a time, Dalun Ruozan believed that victory was assured and that Wang Chong would never be able to reverse the situation. But now, everything was proceeding in the direction that Dalun Ruozan least hoped for.
