To think that a body of flesh and blood would actually be able to withstand the full might of a True Martial realm cavalryman, and on top of that, he was able to withstand the full might of a True Martial realm cavalryman!
If not for them witnessing it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe.
But all of this was happening right before their eyes.
"It's my turn!"
A cold voice filled with rage echoed in everyone's ears, but Iron Cloak Li had already vanished from everyone's sight.
Peng!
As if struck by an invisible hand, the first cavalryman was sent flying along with his steed. After which, the second, third, and fourth cavalryman followed suit...
The sharpest arrow tip of the entire arrow formation, which should have been the one with the greatest power, was forcibly shattered and sent flying by someone's flesh and blood.
The strong warhorses, which could crush stone tablets with their feet, let out mournful cries. Wherever they were hit, their bones and internal organs would collapse into the ground.
With every punch, a well-trained warhorse that had been on the battlefield for a long time would be sent flying and killed.
Boom!
Iron Cloak Li single-handedly knocked back five cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty and shattered the sharpest of the Arrow Formation. Then, with a flicker, he appeared beside another cavalryman of the Tang dynasty and rammed his shoulder against Neigh's steed, sending yet another cavalryman and his steed flying.
"Chi!"
With a bellow, a white streak of light flashed, and a three chi long sword flew toward Iron Cloak Li's head at an astonishing speed.
Boom!
Iron Cloak Li's face turned cold. Klang! But when the sharp sword struck Iron Cloak Li's body, it felt as if it had struck an invisible layer of steel, preventing the sword from piercing through his body.
Iron Cloak Li pushed his palms forward. Boom! With a scream of agony, Bai Siling was sent flying before crashing heavily into the ground, blood spurting from her mouth.
Before the head of the Iron Cloak Bandits, even a genius from Longwei Training Camp like Bai Siling was no match for him.
"Siling!"
Wang Chong turned pale with fright. He knew how high Bai Siling's cultivation was. She was an existence on par with Marchioness Yi and Cousin Wang Zhu Yan.
In just one move, Bai Siling was severely injured. Iron Cloak Li's strength was truly frightening.
"Junior, be careful! His iron cloak is impervious to swords and blades! My sword can't hurt him! "
Bai Siling propped herself up from the ground, her face as pale as paper. If not for her superior cultivation allowing her to protect her internal organs with her Stellar Energy, she would have died from that palm strike from Iron Cloak Li.
Puff!
As soon as Bai Siling finished speaking, she felt a sweetness in her throat. Her Qi and blood surged, and she spat out another mouthful of blood. Her heart was filled with even more fear.
From the start of the battle until now, at least five cavalrymen and their steeds had died in the hands of this bandit leader. Even she herself had sustained severe injuries.
This kind of loss was unprecedented!
Iron Cloak Li's strength was simply too frightening!
"Little lass, it seems like you are quite concerned about that lad. After I kill that lad, I'll kill you as well. Today, all of you will die! "
Iron Cloak Li's killing intent surged as he single-handedly destroyed an arrow formation. Then, ignoring the others, he charged right for the second arrow formation that Wang Chong was in.
Without any intention of dodging, Iron Cloak Li charged right for the sharpest and strongest point of the arrow formation.
Hong long!
At least five spears carrying the might of a mountain struck Iron Cloak Li's body simultaneously from five different directions. However, all of the spears were blocked by the black iron cloak around Iron Cloak Li's body.
The spears that could pierce through metal and fling a man and his steed into the air were completely ineffective against Iron Cloak Li's armor.
"Rise!"
Iron Cloak Li stood as firm as a mountain, but the five cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty were flung away together with their steeds.
Peng peng peng!
Steeds were sent flying one after another. Many of them fell to the ground with their necks snapped, and some even had their innards ruptured. Neigh's cries of agony lingered in the air.
"Lad, die!"
A cold glint flashed across Iron Cloak Li's eyes as he stared at Wang Chong. As the instigator of all this, Iron Cloak Li placed all the blame on Wang Chong.
If not for him, the cavalryman wouldn't have been able to deal so much damage. If not for him, Hu Lang wouldn't have died, his beloved steed would still be alive, and his subordinates wouldn't have lost so many elites!
How could Iron Cloak Li tolerate the destruction of his many years of hard work?
He could spare any of the forty cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty, but he had to get rid of this young man who had come from the training camps.
Sou!
With a flash of light, Iron Cloak Li raised his arm, and a black shadow shot out from his body. As if it had a life of its own, the black Stellar Energy cloak darted toward Wang Chong.
Hong long!
With a deafening explosion, a cloud of dust rose from where the black cloak landed, and all the rocks in the area were reduced to dust. On the other hand, Wang Chong had managed to dodge the attack by a hair's breadth.
The White-hoofed Shadow's divine beauty, mysticism, and sensitivity to danger had saved Wang Chong's life at the crucial moment.
"Neigh!"
Iron Cloak Li turned around and saw a cavalryman of the Tang dynasty charging toward him fearlessly while he was attacking Wang Chong.
"Hmph!"
Iron Cloak Li sneered coldly. Boom! With a thought, the black Stellar Energy cloak flew up and expanded before falling from the sky, enveloping the cavalryman of the Tang dynasty along with his steed.
Kachacha!
With a series of cracking sounds, the Tang cavalryman wrapped in the black chainmail began to rapidly shrink, blood gushing out like a river.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalryman of the Tang dynasty had been crushed into a ball of flesh, and he fell from the black cloak.
"Neigh!"
Seeing this scene, the warhorses were frightened. They reared up and retreated.
Wang Chong felt a chill run down his spine. If he had been just a little bit slower, he would have been the one reduced to a ball of flesh.
"Brat, you won't be able to escape!"
Iron Cloak Li stood motionlessly on the spot, but his cold and murderous eyes were locked onto Wang Chong.
Hu! Iron Cloak Li waved his hand, and the black Stellar Energy cloak descended from the sky to cover his body once more.
There wasn't the slightest speck of blood on it.
"Chief is formidable!"
"Chief!"
"Chief!"
…
Upon seeing this sight, the Iron Cloak Highwaymen who were fleeing in all directions were invigorated, and they began to cheer loudly.
"Let's go! Let's help Chief exterminate those soldiers! "
"Brothers, it's time for vengeance!"
"Chief, well done! Brothers, kill! — — "
… …
The sound of galloping hooves could be heard from all directions, and the bandits, who had scattered like birds and beasts, let out excited cries as they charged back from all directions.
The tables had suddenly turned, and the situation had become extremely disadvantageous to them.
Iron Cloak Li had single-handedly reversed the tides of the battle.
"Chief, we're here to help you!"
A ferocious and bloodthirsty roar sounded from afar. On the east side of the main road, a group of thirty Iron Cloak Highwaymen swept up a cloud of dust as they charged toward Zhang Xuan's direction.
The thirty elite highwaymen that Hu Lang had stationed at the rear had finally heard the commotion and rushed over.
Weng!
In that instant, even Wang Chong's face warped in horror.
Iron Cloak Li, who was invulnerable to swords and spears, was already a difficult opponent to deal with. On top of that, the highwaymen who had retreated and the thirty elite highwaymen were also backing them up. The situation had become extremely disadvantageous to them.
The worst thing was that this time, they were at a disadvantage, and even their escape route had been cut off. And after Iron Cloak Li had destroyed the Arrow Formation, the most important factor of the Iron Cloak Cavalry's charge was speed.
Without the speed that they prided themselves on, they would be no different from infantry. In fact, they might even be inferior to infantry.
In that instant, everyone could feel the heavy stench of death.
The hurried galloping was like an invisible string that tugged at everyone's nerves.
"Lord, what do we do?"
A squad leader looked uneasily at Wang Chong, his eyes brimming with anxiety and expectation. Even a soldier like him, who didn't know the slightest about strategy, could sense danger from the current situation.
Furthermore, it wasn't the danger of getting injured or dying, but the danger of the entire army being wiped out.
"Lord..."
"Lord..."
...
Time seemed to have come to a halt at this instant. In Wang Chong's eyes, this short instant felt like an eternity.
Wang Chong could see the corpses of the warhorses and the decapitated cavalrymen on the path. In the distance, Bai Siling was clutching her chest as she struggled to stand up. The immense pain and internal injuries she had sustained had caused her beautiful face to warp in agony.
Ma Song was also severely injured. The corpse of a warhorse was pressing down on his leg, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted together in pain.
A True Martial realm expert could easily lift up a warhorse, but Ma Song couldn't even lift his leg.
Dust and sand filled the air, and fresh blood flowed freely on the grass on both sides of the path. In the distance, the highwaymen were charging over savagely, brandishing their swords and sabers.
Even further away, the group of elite mounted gangsters who were hiding in ambush were also rushing over.
And at the very center of all these troops, Iron Cloak Li was currently sending a steed flying with a single punch. Like an insurmountable wall, Iron Cloak Li stood right in front of Wang Chong, as well as everyone else.
His cold gaze pierced through space and time, locking onto Wang Chong.
Death followed him like a shadow!
In a short period of time, Wang Chong had fallen into a perilous situation where his entire army was being wiped out.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Hong long! Wang Chong suddenly charged forward, and grabbing Bai Siling, he placed her on the back of his steed. At the same time, he issued the final and most important command of the entire battle.
"Execute the plan, Eight Claws Fishing the Moon! — — "
