Weng, before the surrounding people could react, the white tiger suddenly shook its body. Peng, peng, peng. Hundreds and thousands of iron arrows suddenly shot out in all directions like the thorns of a hedgehog.
"Not good!"
Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, he heard a boom, followed by screams. With Jiao Serro at the center, all the infantry in a radius of several dozen paces were sent flying by the dense rain of arrows. Even though they were protected by armor, they were still either dead or wounded.
The dense rain of arrows had actually become the best tool for Jiao Serro to display its might.
"Scatter! Master archers, retreat immediately! "
Wang Chong's expression focused as he waved his left palm and gave the order.
The master archers could deal with ordinary Ouzan soldiers, but against a fierce Ouzan general like Jiao Serro, they were clearly lacking. Moreover, Wang Chong could sense from this scene that Jiao Serro's Stellar Energy was even more powerful and ferocious than Bachicheng's. His zhenqi was so dense that it could reflect the rain of arrows.
This was not something an ordinary Profound Martial realm expert could do.
There was a reason why Jiao Serro was ranked second among the Five Tiger Generals.
"Roar!"
With a savage roar, the massive white tiger stared at Wang Chong, a hint of ridicule in its eyes. Boom! With a shake of its four claws, the massive white tiger suddenly leaped into the air.
"Boom!"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd was in chaos. No matter how slow they were, they could tell that this white tiger was charging at Wang Chong.
"Protect Milord!"
Shouts came from all around, but Wang Chong was the only one who remained calm.
"Hmph!"
Wang Chong waved his right hand. Gazing at the leaping white tiger, he immediately gave the order to attack.
"Fire!"
Boom boom boom!
Following Wang Chong's order, the ballista phalanx began to fire three-meter-long bolts. Jiao Serro, who had transformed into a white tiger, soared into the sky and positioned himself in the air. It was the best angle and timing to shoot. No matter how powerful Jiao Serro was, it would be difficult for him to shift under such circumstances.
How could Wang Chong let go of such an opportunity?
"How foolish!"
Wang Chong sneered in his heart. In a large-scale, crowded war, even the most powerful cultivator could think of a way to deal with it. Jiaosiluo was being a little too arrogant.
"Buzz!"
The air exploded, and twenty to thirty arrows were aimed at Jiao Serro, who was in the air. In terms of accuracy and angle, these well-trained soldiers of the Annan Protectorate army would have no problem with it. Even Jiaosiluo slightly paled at the sight of those flashing arrowheads and the terrifying energy contained within them.
Bzzz! There was no time to think. A majestic Stellar Energy barrier, seven or eight feet thick, burst out of Jiao Serro's body and tightly wrapped around the white tiger. Just as he was about to complete this step, the thirty-some ballistae all struck the White Tiger in the air.
"Roooar!"
With a roar, the huge White Tiger's body staggered as it was shot down from the sky. It crashed onto the ground, causing mud to splatter all over the sky.
"Brat, I underestimated you!"
That resonant voice resounded through the air, this time with more gravity and less disdain. There was no doubt that Jiao Serro had suffered a bit in that moment. Whoosh! The white tiger's massive claws slashed across the ground, causing mud and gravel to fly everywhere, blurring its vision. Then, it suddenly pounced forward.
This time, the white tiger didn't choose to charge in a straight line. Instead, it dove left and right, choosing an S-shaped path.
Pfft pfft pfft!
The ballista bolts all landed behind it. Although it had chosen an S-shaped path, Jiao Serro's speed didn't decrease. Instead, it increased. In a short period of time, it was less than a hundred feet from the top of the mountain. With Jiao Serro's speed, it would probably reach the top of the mountain in the next moment.
At this moment, even Wang Chong's expression changed.
Once a Profound Martial realm expert got serious, they would be extremely difficult to deal with. Moreover, Jiao Serro had clearly used the secret techniques of the Great Snow Mountain Temple.
"Uncle Chen, the rest is up to you!"
Wang Chong said calmly.
A battle between martial cultivators had nothing to do with tactics or strategy. Against an expert like Jiao Serro, even Wang Chong didn't have any good ideas. The only person on the mountain who could deal with him was Chen Shusun. As a veteran general of the army, Chen Shusun's strength was unquestionable.
"Protect Milord!"
The cry of a saber echoed through the air. Rainwater flowed down his forehead and down his hair, but Chen Shusun's eyes didn't waver in the slightest. Boom! Chen Shusun's feet paused on the mountain peak. He became one with his saber, instantly transforming into a white rainbow that pierced through the heavy rain and slashed at the nearby Jiao Serro.
"Protect Milord!"
At almost the same time, the guards on the mountain peak unsheathed their sabers and followed Chen Shusun, charging at Jiao Serro.
It was their duty to protect the commander of the army. The reason they hadn't come out to battle was because they were waiting for this moment.
Boomboomboom!
Heaven-shaking explosions came from the base of the mountain as Chen Shusun and Jiaosiluo began to battle. Both of them were experts of the Profound Martial realm, and every move they made contained immense power. Their power was so great that the torrential rain couldn't even get within seven or eight meters of the two. At the same time, the rain transformed into ripples that spread in all directions.
"Welcome to my official WeChat account and Weibo. Just search for Huangfu Qi. There's a lot of content that can't be found in novels."
"Jiao Serro is too powerful!"
Wang Chong frowned as he looked at the foot of the mountain. Although Chen Shusun had made a move, he had only barely managed to stop Jiao Serro for a moment. Even with the help of his eldest brother Wang Fu's guards, they were still no match for Jiao Serro. They were completely suppressed by Jiao Serro.
At least, that was how Wang Chong saw it.
"The martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain Temple are indeed powerful. Although Jiao Serro has grown in size and is more vulnerable to attacks from all sides, his white tiger form is almost invulnerable and has immense strength. Furthermore, his movements are completely unaffected. After all, Uncle Chen hasn't learned these martial arts. He can't stop him at all! "
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil.
In just a short period of time, Uncle Chen's body had already suffered several scratches. Blood flowed endlessly from the white tiger's sharp claws. Wang Chong didn't know much about the Great Snow Mountain Temple, so he didn't pay much attention to this.
"Milord, do you want me and my brothers to go help him? I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on by himself! "
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside him. The Eagle looked down the mountain, his voice tinged with anxiety.
The Eagle arrived at the top of the mountain a little later than Wang Chong. Unlike Wang Chong, the Eagle spent a lot of time helping to set up the defense line and fend off Ouzan's men. As for when they reached the top of the mountain … The Eagle knew his own limitations. He knew nothing about the art of war or strategy, so he simply led the elites of the Black Dragon Gang and waited silently on the side, not saying a word.
"No need!"
Wang Chong raised an arm and said calmly,
"Jiao Serro is not the only threat this time. Jiao Serro is easy to deal with. After all, everything about him is out in the open, but the other one might not be the same! "
"Milord is speaking of Fengjiayi?"
The Eagle said.
He had also heard some of it from the side. He had also heard of Fengjiayi's matter in the past, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.
"Hmph!"
Wang Chong nodded noncommittally.
"The art of war revolves around what is real and what is false. Fengjiayi stayed in the Tang dynasty for a very long time and has learned quite a bit about the art of deception. After fighting for so long, I don't believe that he hasn't appeared yet! "
"The art of deception?"
A strange light flashed through the Eagle's eyes. He really didn't understand much about the art of war.
Wang Chong only smiled and said nothing more.
Wang Chong had only heard of this Crown Prince Mengshe Zhao, but had never seen him in person. He had no idea what kind of person he was. However, the fact that Fengjiayi hadn't appeared for so long actually allowed Wang Chong to learn a few things. This Fengjiayi was definitely not an easy character to deal with.
He was patient and patient, and most importantly, his personality was one that would take a life when he didn't act. He was truly a very difficult opponent to deal with. And as the Crown Prince, he could mobilize a great deal of resources, but at the same time, he didn't have the arrogance of a Crown Prince.
Wang Chong could sense that this sort of person was definitely the type of person who would use any means necessary to achieve his goal.
Compared to the unstoppable Jiao Serro who could charge to the summit at any moment and take his life, Wang Chong actually felt that this Fengjiayi was the true calamity of the Tang dynasty.
"Milord, if he doesn't appear, are we just going to keep standing here? The current situation isn't in our favor! "
A dark-faced elite of the Black Dragon Gang said.
They had all been left by Li Siye at Wang Chong's side. Although they didn't admire Wang Chong as much as Li Siye, they still respected him. In their view, Wang Chong really shouldn't have transferred away Li Siye in this battle. Otherwise, with General Li present, they might have been able to stop Jiao Serro.
They would have been much more flexible in adapting to the situation.
"That's right, Milord. If Jiao Serro attacks, Fengjiayi will cooperate from the side, and I'll be in the open while the enemy is in the shadows. When the time comes, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him! "
Another elite of the Black Dragon Gang said, his voice tinged with deep concern.
Wang Chong turned his head in astonishment and saw that the Black Dragon Gang elite who had spoken had a thin build. He was completely different from the others, and his eyes seemed to be more intelligent.
So it's him.
This thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind. He had a vague idea of who this person was. Li Siye had said that this person was half an advisor in the Black Dragon Gang. Although he wasn't at the level of a strategist, he still had some intelligence.
"Relax, he won't have that chance! I'll have him come out on his own. "
