"What's going on?"
"Why did my strength suddenly decrease?"
"Why did my Origin Energy suddenly become so sluggish?"
…
At the same time, as soon as Wang Chong activated the Bane of the Battlefield halo, the ferocious Goguryeon warriors within a hundred zhang immediately sensed it.
Some of the True Martial realm Goguryeon experts with halos immediately felt the Halo of Thorns beneath their feet weakening significantly. On the other hand, the Goguryeon warriors without halos experienced an even greater change. Even though there wasn't any change, they suddenly felt as though they were being restrained by an invisible force, and the flow of Origin Energy in their bodies slowed significantly.
It was as though a raging river had suddenly turned into a viscous mud. It was extremely uncomfortable!
In a battle between experts, every second counts, needless to say, on such an intense battlefield. In an instant, the Goguryeon warriors who had been suppressing the Goguryeons with their ferocious attacks suddenly fell into chaos.
Under the effects of the Bane of the Battlefield halo, the Goguryeons began to panic.
Everyone, including Wang Chong, noticed the abnormality occurring among the Goguryeons.
"This is great!"
At this moment, the happiest person was none other than Wang Chong. The effects of the Bane of the Battlefield halo were far more formidable than he had expected. More importantly, no one knew that he was the culprit behind it.
"Kill! — — "
Roaring furiously, Wang Chong executed the Single Character Consecutive Slash and became one with his sword. He was the first to leap forward. Even though the others within a hundred zhang around him had no idea what was going on, they knew that this was the best situation for them.
"Kill! Kill them all! Don't let them escape! — — "
Roused, the crowd gathered their remaining strength and launched a counterattack against the Goguryeon warriors. At this moment, the fearsome Goguryeon warriors seemed to have turned into a different person. The inexplicable weakening of their fighting prowess brought about a chain reaction.
One after another, the Goguryeon warriors fell under the assault of the Goguryeon warriors.
"What's going on? Why is my Origin Energy suddenly going out of control?"
"What did the Imperial Army of the Tang dynasty pull off?"
"Send the signal! Have the master archers of the Turks shoot their arrows and kill them!"
…
Shocked and infuriated, the Goguryeon warriors cursed furiously in Goguryeon.
"Yin! — "
In the blink of an eye, a roar that sounded like a dragon or a tiger suddenly rang out from the mountains in the distance. The roar revealed a monstrous rage, as well as venting one's desire.
"It's Zhao Qianqiu!"
Wang Chong was overjoyed.
"It's Instructor Zhao. Everyone, do your best. Instructor Zhao has succeeded!"
Wang Chong said energetically. While saying those words, he slashed down two Turkic wolves with a wave of his hand. After which, he leaped forward with his sword and slashed at a panicking Goguryeon warrior.
The Bane of the Battlefield was only effective against the enemies of the Goguryeons. Thus, Wang Chong chose to target the Goguryeons within the white ripples.
"Come here, all of you gather here! Stop them, or else no one will be able to leave! "
A Goguryeon warrior who seemed to be the temporary leader shouted anxiously behind him. Soon, with someone taking the lead, the Goguryeon warriors managed to stabilize their footing and fend off the attacks.
But in the next moment, a devastating blow came from behind a collapsed wall.
Xiu xiu xiu!
The shrill whistling of the air could pierce one's eardrums. In the darkness, dozens of Turk wolf fang arrows gleaming with a cold gleam shot out from the gap in the collapsed wall.
But this time, the wolf fang arrows weren't aimed at the Great Tang army but the Goguryeons who were engaged in a fierce battle.
Pu pu pu!
Seven or eight Goguryeons were struck in the heart, and they fell to the ground like wooden pillars. Most of them were struck in the chest or shoulder by the wolf fang arrows, and the immense force of the arrows even pierced through their bodies, sending them flying seven to eight zhang away.
— — At this crucial moment, Xu Qi had finally led his men to clear out the wolf corpses in the palace on the other side of the alley. This palace was meant to fend off the attacks of the master archers of the Turks.
It was precisely because of the existence of this palace filled with wolf corpses that everyone was able to fight in the alleyway unscathed. However, the palace also prevented Zhou Huang from providing support to the others with arrows.
Wang Chong had Xu Qi and his men clear away the wolf corpses in the palace, thus creating a path for Zhou Huang to shoot.
Even though the threat of the master archers of the Turk had increased exponentially due to this, there was always a chance of survival.
"This is a good chance!"
Upon receiving Zhou Huang's support, Wang Chong was delighted. Pu! A cold gleam flashed, and fresh blood splattered. Wang Chong was one with his sword, and in an instant, he leaped forward. The WuZi Steel Sword in his hand pierced into the heart of a Goguryeon warrior a dozen zhang away.
This Goguryeon warrior was already injured to begin with, and Zhou Huang's wolf fang arrow had left him severely injured. Caught off guard, he was instantly killed by Wang Chong's sword.
【Congratulations to user for killing 2 Goguryeon warriors!】
At the same time, Wang Chong's vision blurred, and a surge of information flowed into Wang Chong's mind. The Goguryeon warrior whom Wang Chong had killed was one of the Goguryeon warriors chosen by the white ripples.
"Hu!"
A frenzied gale blew, and invisible energy surged from the surroundings into Wang Chong's body. Even though there weren't any obvious changes, Wang Chong could clearly sense that the Bane of the Battlefield halo in his dantian had increased significantly.
Not only so, as ripples spread across the area, Wang Chong could clearly sense the radius of the Bane of the Battlefield halo increasing once more.
This time, the radius of the halo had expanded from a hundred zhang to a hundred and thirty zhang. Under the effects of the Bane of the Battlefield halo, the area of effect of the Goguryeon warriors had increased once more.
In the surroundings, the Goguryeon warriors, who were under the effects of the Bane of the Battlefield halo, felt the restraining force on them increasing once more, and they panicked even more.
"To think that the amplification effect of the Bane of the Battlefield halo would be so obvious!"
Sensing the change in the radius of the halo, Wang Chong was overjoyed.
When he activated the Stone of Destiny, the Bane of the Battlefield halo he had obtained was still at level 0. This was the most primitive effect of the halo.
Based on the information he had gathered, he had to kill at least a hundred Goguryeon, Turkic, Ouzan, or Mengshe Zhao soldiers before the Bane of the Battlefield halo could reach level 1, turning from the white ripples into a halo.
In the world of martial arts, this was equivalent to the difference between the ripples of Origin Energy Tier 9 and the halo of True Martial realm.
Wang Chong had thought that killing two Goguryeon warriors was just a drop in the bucket, so it shouldn't be of much use.
Who could have thought that the effects of the Bane of the Battlefield halo would far surpass his expectations?
"To be able to cover such a large area, this is definitely a typical battlefield halo. In a chaotic battle, this halo would be able to bring out its full potential! "
Invigorated, Wang Chong immediately chased after the other Goguryeon warriors chosen by the white ripples.
Weng!
Under the effects of Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield halo and Zhou Huang's arrows, the Goguryeon warriors on White Tiger Peak were finally unable to hold on any longer.
"Retreat! Hurry up and retreat! "
Amidst the wolf pack, the ferocious Goguryeon warriors immediately retreated down the mountain like a receding tide.
This defeat was inexplicable. Until now, no one knew what was going on. But without a doubt, the most opportune moment for the Goguryeon warriors to attack had passed.
In an instant, a large number of Goguryeon warriors retreated down the mountain. Beneath them, a large number of corpses were left.
"This is a good chance!"
Making use of this opportunity, a portion of them chased after the retreating Goguryeon warriors while the rest of the Imperial Army guards and instructors followed the 'passageway' that Zhao Qianqiu had used previously and slid down the mountain.
There were quite a few master archers lying in ambush around White Tiger Peak. Zhao Qianqiu's strength alone wasn't sufficient.
Only by neutralizing the master archers would White Tiger Peak be truly safe.
"Instructor, those people have retreated!"
In Wang Chong and Su Hanshan's room, Chen Burang's ears twitched, and he suddenly turned around to look at Zhou Huang with a delighted expression.
Zhou Huang's relentless shooting, Zhao Qianqiu's ambush in the mountains, and most importantly, the defeat of the Goguryeon warriors responsible for the assault on White Tiger Peak, the master archers of the Turkic army also realized that they had lost the upper hand. Thus, they began to retreat.
"This is a good chance! Chen Burang, tell them to chase after the Goguryeons. Don't let them escape. With the two groups mixed together in the middle of the night, it's difficult for even master archers to identify them. This is the best chance for us to retaliate! As for those Goguryeon condor archers who refuse to retreat … leave them to me! "
Zhou Huang said with a bright gleam in his eyes.
"Yes!"
Chen Burang quickly replied and left.
Wang Chong descended the cliff. He knew that there was no need for him to worry about White Tiger Peak anymore. What Wang Chong was worried about at the moment was Wei Hao and Marchioness Yi.
After tossing a few rocks, Wang Chong slid down the cliff stealthily. The arrows on White Tiger Peak were sparse. The master archers seemed to have retreated, and no one bothered with Wang Chong.
"Neigh!"
Just as Wang Chong landed on the ground, the neighing of Neigh's steed sounded in the darkness. Under the dim light of the night, Wang Chong could clearly see an incomparably dashing green colt charging up to him.
There was a circle of white hair on the horse's hoof, which was exceptionally eye-catching in the dark.
"Little Shadow!"
Wang Chong was taken aback by the sight, and he was overjoyed. "Little Shadow, I didn't think that you would still be alive!"
Wang Chong's White-hoofed Shadow was still in a free-range state, and it hadn't been equipped with a saddle, stirrup, or bridle yet. Thus, when the Turks and Goguryeons attacked, even Wang Chong had no idea where it went.
With so many Goguryeons and Turks, a rain of arrows, and a pack of wolves … Wang Chong thought that the White-hoofed Shadow was already dead.
But from the looks of it now, the little fellow seemed to be extremely vigilant. It had actually escaped in advance, dodging the calamity.
"Little Shadow, you came at the right time! It's time for me to borrow your strength! "
Wang Chong patted the White-hoofed Shadow's cheeks lightly, and the latter neighed excitedly. The White-hoofed Shadow was still young, and it shouldn't have reached the age to be ridden yet.
But at this moment, Wang Chong couldn't care so much anymore. He had no idea how the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise bases were faring.
Since he didn't know whether Wei Hao was alive or not, he could only borrow Little Shadow's strength to rush over.
"Hu!"
With a swift movement, Wang Chong leaped onto the back of his steed. In the next instant, the wind howled by his sides. Seated on the back of the steed, Wang Chong felt as if he was galloping at lightning speed.
"Fast!"
Wang Chong was astonished. In that instant, he suddenly understood why the White-hoofed Shadow was able to survive the night assault.
Although it was still in its infancy, the White-hoofed Shadow's speed and strength were even faster than a mature warhorse. In fact, Wang Chong even felt that it was far superior to the Turk wolves.
