Beneath Wang Chong's feet, a halo vibrated and metal clattered. A deep black halo, as sharp as a blade, vibrated from Wang Chong's feet and expanded to cover the entire army.
Bolstered by the level one Halo of Dusk Stallion, the speed, strength, and sensitivity of the entire army were all greatly boosted.
"Kiiiill! — — "
Shouts brimming with slaughter and savagery resounded through the sky. Bang! Wang Chong's body shot forward like a bolt of lightning, leaping off the back of the White-hoofed Shadow.
"Single Step Consecutive Slash! — — "
A mournful light, as faint as water, flashed through the air, frenziedly slicing and dicing. Thudthudthud, black figure after black figure fell to the ground.
The martial art was still the same martial art, the person was still the same person, but the power they could display was completely different from before.
The Single Step Consecutive Slash had always been the supreme technique of the god of death that had been used on the battlefield to cut, hack, and harvest human lives.
"Buzz!"
Ripples of light shone. By the time Wang Chong's right foot spread apart, his body slightly tilted, his pitch-black hair floating in the wind, he was already several dozen zhang away.
Behind him, warhorses neighed as Tibetan horsemen after Tibetan horsemen scattered across the earth like stars in the sky, falling one after another like piles of wood.
Their bodies would be separated or their heads would be sent flying. Their bodies would often only be left with a hair-thin wound, and it was this wound that thoroughly extinguished the flames of their lives.
"Run!"
"Run!"
"We're no match for them!"
"Where did they come from? How could the Tang army have such formidable warriors?"
"Hurry and report this to the Great General!"
… …
Shouts of Ouzan language resounded through the sky. The Ouzan soldiers were in a state of chaos and despair. Some tried to flee, but it was all futile.
The battle did not stop with Wang Chong's halt. The black army surged across the earth like a tide, and wherever it passed, Ouzan cavalry would fall to the ground.
Some of them roared crazily and tried to stop, calling everyone to resist together. However, what awaited them were WuZi Steel Swords that resembled the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
The thick plate armor that the Ouzan people were so proud of was like paper in front of these sharp weapons.
Ouzan was not a timid person, nor was he afraid of facing a strong enemy. If the opponent's weapon was only unbelievably sharp, then so be it. The Ouzan would not be afraid of a battle.
However, if the weapon in his hand couldn't even hurt his opponent or leave a mark on his opponent's armor, the only thing he could do was to run away.
But even if he wanted to escape, it was already too late!
The heavy plate armor of the Ouzan soldiers had become a fatal factor, and it was even bolstered by Wang Chong's Halo of Dusk Stallion.
Wang Chong did not chase after the remaining Ouzan soldiers.
Swish!
Pulling his longsword out of the body of the last Ouzan horseman, Wang Chong closed his eyes. A thick blood energy rose from the dark red longsword, surging through Wang Chong's body.
Wang Chong's strength had already reached Tier 4 of the True Martial path, but with the support of the energy of these ten-some people, his strength had risen once more, rising from the initial level of Tier 4 to the middle level, and then to the upper level.
In this short period of time, he had already surpassed Wang Chong's four or five months of bitter cultivation. Even the pills from Liuzhi Zhang did not have such a formidable effect.
No technique could advance by leaps and bounds like this, but this was the power of the Little Yinyang Art. Without this power, the complete version of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art would not have been listed among the ten great arts of the world.
And this supreme art would not have been called the leader of all evil arts!
Just a little more.
Wang Chong thought to himself as he slowly sheathed his longsword. Hmm! Suddenly, an almost inaudible moan came from his ear.
Swish! Without even turning his head, Wang Chong thrust his sword forward. The longsword pierced through the layers of corpses, stabbing into an Ouzan horseman who was struggling under the corpse of a horse.
The longsword pierced through the heart, and the Ouzan horseman fell dead without even a sound. At the same time, a majestic blood energy flowed through the longsword into Wang Chong's body.
Rumble! With the help of this blood energy, Wang Chong's strength skyrocketed, and he broke through the bottleneck from Tier 4 of the True Martial realm to Tier 5 of the True Martial realm.
"Wonderful!"
After breaking through to Tier 5 of the True Martial realm, Wang Chong's strength soared. Under the influence of the laws of heaven and earth, the density of his bones, the toughness of his muscles, and the toughness of his skin all increased, allowing him to contain even more true qi.
And the Stellar Energy in Wang Chong's body also showed signs of splitting into five tiers.
However, Wang Chong did not allow this evolution to continue. Now that his cultivation had reached Tier 5 of the True Martial realm, Wang Chong could proceed with the next step of his plan.
Rumble!
Wang Chong put his palms together, and a mountain-shattering tsunami suddenly erupted from his body, accompanied by the earth-shattering neigh of a Neigh horse.
With Wang Chong as the center, the air exploded in all directions. This sudden movement alarmed everyone. The experts of the aristocratic families immediately reined in their horses and turned their heads in shock.
They saw a dark shadow move within the majestic Stellar Energy outside Wang Chong's body, and a huge, dark-green horse, taller than a man, with a fluttering mane, suddenly emerged from the Stellar Energy. Its hooves stirred, and it looked majestic and frightening.
That pair of eyes were like stars, incomparably bright, dazzling even from far away.
"Young Master …"
Li Siye, Zhao Jingdian, The Eagle, and the others who were very close to Wang Chong immediately turned their heads to look in concern at Wang Chong. Li Siye could be considered to be quite knowledgeable, but even he didn't understand the dark-green horse that had emerged from Wang Chong's body.
"Don't worry. It seems like he's about to break through a bottleneck."
Li Siye stopped Zhao Jingdian from charging over and comforted him. Although he didn't understand Wang Chong's martial arts, there was no doubt that Wang Chong's body was showing signs of a breakthrough.
Bang!
Before Li Siye, Zhao Jingdian, The Eagle, and the others could charge over, Wang Chong's body suddenly exploded with a boom. A black vortex appeared in the depths of his dantian, and like a bottomless black hole, it exerted an enormous attractive force.
The dark green horse suddenly let out a long neigh, and even the boundless Stellar Energy around Wang Chong's body began to collapse and shrink. In the blink of an eye, the energy exuded by Wang Chong's body dropped from Tier 5 to Tier 4, Tier 3, Tier 2, and finally back to Tier 1.
"Eh?"
Li Siye exclaimed in surprise as he stared at Wang Chong.
"What's going on here?"
In all his years of cultivating martial arts, this was the first time he had seen something so strange. When a person's strength increased, their cultivation level would drop instead of rising. He couldn't even be sure if Wang Chong's strength had increased or decreased.
"This is too strange!"
Li Siye's brow rose. He felt that Wang Chong's body was brimming with secrets. He had followed Wang Chong for so long, but he still felt that Wang Chong had many secrets.
Whoosh!
Wang Chong didn't care. After reaching the second tier of the Halo of Dusk Stallion, his entire body was drenched in sweat, and his face was even paler than usual.
The Halo of Dusk Stallion required one to reach Tier 5 of the True Martial realm in order to reach the second tier. However, the entire process was extremely taxing on one's mind and body, so Wang Chong felt weak and exhausted.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Zhao Jingdian was the first to rush over.
"I'm fine!"
Shaking his head, Wang Chong took out a round white pill about the size of a thumb from the pouch at his waist and swallowed it.
Soon, heat began to radiate from it, and Wang Chong's entire body immediately felt much better.
The 'Stamina Pill' was a derivative pill created by the powerful Alchemist of the palace. It used many treasures of the palace and could greatly replenish one's stamina.
After experiencing his first bout of weakness, Wang Chong had bought this pill from Liuzhi Zhang precisely to deal with the weakness brought about by the advancement of the Halo of Dusk Stallion.
"What technique is this?"
A deep voice rang out as Li Siye rode over on a warhorse that was much larger than the mounts of most people.
Compared to the others, Li Siye's gigantic god-like figure always gave people a huge pressure.
"Reporting! — — "
Suddenly, a hurried and high-pitched voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
A scout with an arrow on his back rode a dark buckskin horse and quickly rushed down from the high ground in the distance.
When he got close, he simply flipped over and kneeled on the ground.
"Milord, a large group of Ouzan cavalry has been discovered up ahead. There are more than one thousand of them!"
"Buzz!"
The mood immediately changed. Even Li Siye was no longer in the mood to ask Wang Chong what technique he cultivated and why it was so strange.
"How could this be? Where did so many enemy soldiers come from? "
Li Siye turned around and asked.
In pursuit of the fleeing Tang dynasty soldiers, the Ouzan soldiers had been very scattered. They had come in groups of a dozen, twenty, several dozen, even several hundred … but the most they had encountered were three or four hundred, and they were scattered over the entire region.
Now, more than one thousand Ouzan soldiers were gathered together. This was definitely not normal.
The Ouzan soldiers did not number one thousand, but once they did, they could form the middle-level Halo of Fortress, greatly increasing their defensive capabilities. Even the ballistae of the army would not be of much use.
To deal with Ouzan soldiers of this scale, the Tang Dynasty often needed six or seven thousand soldiers, and they had to be led by high-ranking generals. Only then could they deal with this level of Halo of Fortress!
In the entire Tang Dynasty, only the Big Dipper Great General Geshu Han and his Big Dipper Army could easily deal with this level of Halo of Fortress.
