Boom! Iron Cloak Li's punch landed on thin air.
Boom! Iron Cloak Li's punch landed, but it struck nothing but air. The Wang Chong in midair dissipated into an afterimage, and the real Wang Chong appeared behind Iron Cloak Li.
Even Iron Cloak Li was fooled by the Phantom Steps created by the Single Consecutive Slash.
Iron Cloak Li's face tensed up, and the black Stellar Energy Iron Cloak he was wearing swiftly morphed, forming layers upon layers of iron cloak.
Klang! To think that Wang Chong's sure-kill attack would be blocked!
"Hmph!"
Harrumphing coldly, Iron Cloak Li sent a punch behind him.
"Lad, you're thinking too simply. Do you think that my Iron Cloak Technique can only allow me to take a beating? Even if you have such a powerful weapon, you won't be able to break my Iron Cloak Technique! "
"Is that so? Give it a try then! "
A young, bone-chilling voice sounded by Iron Cloak Li's ear. This was the first time Wang Chong had responded to Iron Cloak Li.
"Everyone, work together with me! Attack!"
At the same time, Wang Chong also executed his strongest attack.
"Eight Steps of the Furious Flood Dragon! — — "
The roars of innumerable dragons echoed in the air, and the silhouettes of flood dragons appeared in everyone's ears.
At the same time, the sound of metal clanging echoed in the air, and the halos of True Martial realm surged toward Iron Cloak Li from all directions.
At this moment, a sliver of danger finally surfaced in Iron Cloak Li's eyes.
His Iron Cloak Technique was extremely flexible, and he was able to strengthen the defense of a certain part of his body through overlapping one another. As such, he was able to block even Wang Chong's WuZi Steel Sword.
But at the same time, when the defense of a troop was strengthened, the defense of the other parts of the troop would be weakened.
If he were to deal with Wang Chong alone, he would still be able to deal with him. But if he were to face the other Tang dynasty cavalrymen, his Stellar Energy Iron Cloak Technique would be severely lacking.
"Neigh! — — "
All of a sudden, the neighing of a horse sounded from outside.
"Leader, let me help you!"
Before his voice faded away, a muscular man with bare arms and strong muscles leaped into the air, leaping over.
At this moment, Chang Dao, one of Iron Cloak Li's subordinates, finally arrived.
"Leader, let me help you!"
"Leader, let me help you!"
"Brothers, kill these soldiers and avenge our fallen brothers! — "
…
A series of neighing sounds could be heard as one highwayman after another was slaughtered. Charging through the outer perimeters, the highwaymen charged in with killing intent.
"Hahaha! Good, good! Just in time! "
Hearing the voice, Iron Cloak Li's spirit was invigorated. Wang Chong's WuZi Steel Sword had forced him into a corner, and he had no choice but to seek help from others.
The appearance of the Horse Gang was just in time.
"… Brat, let's see how long you can last. Just accept your fate obediently! "
A powerful burst of Stellar Energy burst forth from Iron Cloak Li's body, and he actually managed to withstand Wang Chong's Eight Steps of the Furious Flood Dragon.
"Neigh! — "
The neighing of the highwaymen grew louder and louder, and the faces of the cavalrymen warped in horror. Wang Chong and Bai Siling's faces paled, and their hearts sank to the bottom of an abyss.
Even if they had the WuZi Steel Sword, it was already too late.
Their final chance had failed as well. What awaited them now was the order to wipe them out.
"Everyone, listen up! Ignore everything else and focus on attacking Iron Cloak Li. Even if we die, we must drag him down with us! "
A resolute gleam flashed across Wang Chong's eyes as his resounding voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Right after those words were spoken, Wang Chong executed the Single Character Consecutive Slash once more, and with a flicker, he charged toward Iron Cloak Li.
"Brat, no matter what happens to the others, I will kill you today! — — "
Iron Cloak Li flew into a rage.
Wang Chong was already on the brink of death, and yet, the other party was still thinking of dragging him down with him. This infuriated Iron Cloak Li to the point where he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
It was this brat's fault that so many of them were killed by the forty cavalrymen.
Iron Cloak Li could ignore the others.
But Iron Cloak Li was determined to kill this brat.
"I would like to see how an ant who hasn't even reached True Martial realm like you will be able to kill me!"
Iron Cloak Li's eyes were brimming with killing intent. His body swayed, and like a hawk, he soared into the sky. Weng! There was a flash of light, and a black silhouette flew out from his body to envelop Wang Chong.
Stellar Energy Iron Cloak!
At the very last moment, Iron Cloak Li finally brought out his strongest Stellar Energy Iron Cloak. He wanted to shroud Wang Chong in his Stellar Energy Iron Cloak just like the other cavalrymen, crushing the latter's bones and turning him into a bloody mess.
Only then would he be able to vent the hatred in his heart and the rage he felt from losing so many of his elite subordinates!
He wouldn't let anyone else do the dirty work of this brat; he would kill him personally!
Weng!
Movement in the air wasn't as convenient as on the ground, and without the help of the White-hoofed Shadow, Wang Chong wasn't going to be as lucky as before. Weng! With a flash of light, the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak fell from the sky and enveloped both Wang Chong and his sword.
Even if Wang Chong's sword could pierce through the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak, there was no doubt that he would die this time.
With the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak restraining Wang Chong, it was also restraining his sword. This time, nothing could threaten him.
"Siling, now is the time! Strike! — — "
Just as Iron Cloak Li was about to crush Wang Chong into a ball of flesh, Wang Chong's shrill voice suddenly sounded from beneath the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak.
"What is that?!"
Iron Cloak Li's heart jolted in alarm. No matter how slow he was, he could tell that something was amiss. For a young soldier to be ordered to do something even though he was on the verge of death, it couldn't be anything good.
He couldn't help but feel as if he had been schemed against.
Hiss!
Before he could figure out what was wrong, he suddenly heard a bellow by his ear, accompanied by the shrill whistle of a sharp object piercing through the air.
Iron Cloak Li felt as if the voice was right beside his ear. Had it been any other time, Iron Cloak Li would have been able to dodge it easily. But in order to deal with Wang Chong, his body was in the air, and his movements weren't as convenient as before.
Hong long!
In that instant, Iron Cloak Li only had the time to gather all of his Stellar Energy and send out a palm strike before a sword pierced through his neck.
Iron Cloak Li's powerful Stellar Energy was actually unable to stop it in the slightest.
"That sword..."
Looking at the familiar tip of the sword protruding from his neck, a gleam of understanding flashed across Iron Cloak Li's eyes. After which, his vision turned dark, and he lost consciousness.
"Leader! — — "
A shrill cry echoed in the air. To the highwaymen who had rushed over ferociously, what they saw was a sight that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
A young white-clothed girl became one with her sword in the void and pierced through the leader's neck with her sword!
Just when everyone was at their happiest, most excited, and most in the upper hand, their leader was stabbed to death. In that instant, everyone felt their limbs turning cold, and their hearts plummeted to the depths of the abyss.
Assassinated!
Assassinated!!
To think that he would be assassinated...
At this moment, time seemed to have come to a standstill. Even the neighing of the warhorses had been suppressed. To the highwaymen who were galloping over from afar, there was no doubt in their minds. They could see everything clearly.
At the very last moment of victory, the young soldier had suddenly used himself as bait to steal the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak from their leader.
At the same time, the divine weapon he was carrying had slipped away from the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak, drawing an arc in the air before falling into the hands of the young white-robed lady.
The latter had relied on that Divine Weapon to become one with the sword and pierce through the leader's neck, ending the entire battle and changing the outcome of the battle.
Just like that, a sure-win battle had been reversed.
Sou!
With Iron Cloak Li's death, the Stellar Energy Iron Cloak dissipated, and Wang Chong immediately fell from it. Peng! Peng! Pressing his palm against the ground, Wang Chong leaped forward and sliced off Iron Cloak Li's head with a single slash.
"Iron Cloak Li is dead! Anyone who dares to go against the army will only be courting death. Even if he escapes to the Western Regions, he'll still be doomed! "
Holding the sword in his right hand and grabbing Iron Cloak Li's head with his left, Wang Chong stared at the highwaymen with a cold gaze reminiscent of a deity, instilling fear in them.
Hu Lang was dead, more than eighty of their brothers were dead, and more than a hundred of their elite bandits were dead as well. Now, even their invincible leader had fallen under the schemes of this young man.
At this very moment, even someone as ferocious as Chang Dao couldn't help but shudder in fear at the sight of that young man.
No one knew what the young man was up to, and no one knew what tricks he had up his sleeves.
The forty Tang dynasty cavalrymen had killed their leader and more than two hundred of their brothers. How many of the remaining twenty-odd men should they kill?
At this moment, even the most ferocious of bandits couldn't help but feel fearful.
The morale of the army had completely crumbled!
When their leader was around, they still had a reason to fight for him. But now, that reason no longer existed.
Even if they managed to kill these soldiers by a fluke, it would be meaningless.
Not only would they not gain anything from this, they might even lose their lives.
"What are you waiting for? Scram!"
Raising his head, Wang Chong stepped forward and bellowed. In an instant, the bandits seemed to have awoken from a dream. Hong long long, as though they had received a huge fright, the bandits of the various strongholds scattered in all directions.
Following that, a large group of highwaymen also scattered in all directions, devoid of fighting spirit.
In just an instant, the eighty highwaymen and bandits had been completely wiped out.
"Lord, we've won!"
A surviving Tang dynasty cavalryman walked over and exhaled deeply.
"We've won, but we haven't won yet! Let's go, we still have one last thing to do! "
Shaking his head, Wang Chong raised his head and gazed at a corner in the distance. The battle cries were getting louder and louder.
