I admit that I underestimated you! I didn't think that you would have such strength! But that's all it is. This time, I will first kill you, and then destroy those two giant ballistae! "
The red-bearded giant looked at his unscathed body, and his expression instantly relaxed.
"As a sign of respect for you, after killing you, I will remember your name, King Gangke!"
"Hmph, is that so?"
The King Gangke sneered at the red-bearded giant, his eyes fixed on the giant's legs.
"What do you mean?"
The red-bearded giant grimaced as he stared at the King Gangke. But before he could finish speaking, there was a metallic crack from beneath his feet. Before the red-bearded giant could react, he saw the sturdy dark green war boots under his feet suddenly explode with countless cracks. In just an instant, the boots exploded into countless pieces, scattering all over the ground.
Even more shocking to the red-bearded giant was that the instant the boots exploded, a fierce and destructive energy exploded from the soles of his feet. This energy traveled up the red-bearded giant's right foot and spread throughout his body. Plush! Blood sprayed everywhere, and the red-bearded giant's right foot was bleeding profusely. A heart-wrenching pain surged from the soles of his feet to his brain, and the red-bearded giant couldn't help but cry out.
"You!"
The red-bearded giant rapidly retreated, a hint of shock finally appearing on his face as he stared at the nearby King Gangke. To be able to shatter his Heavenly God Battle Boots with a single finger, just this fact alone proved that the strength of the human before him far surpassed his imagination.
"You're celebrating too early!"
The King Gangke raised his robes and began to stride forward. In the Western Regions, the Gangke tribe was known as the filthy boars. As the ruler of this tribe, the King Gangke had always hidden his strength, only revealing it now.
"Bright Fist of Massacre!"
The King Gangke's expression was callous. After taking two steps, he suddenly leapt into the air and lunged at the nearly twenty-meter red-bearded giant like a giant bird. Bzzz! He swung his right fist, and the air in a radius of several dozen feet twisted as a massive fist image appeared behind him, followed by a third and a fourth. In a few short moments, hundreds of fist images had appeared behind the King Gangke, forming a massive mountain of fists that smashed down on the red-bearded giant.
The Bright Fist of Massacre was a fist technique that the King Gangke had learned in his early years in the Central Plains. The stronger the enemy, the more powerful this fist technique would be. At most, it could exert four times the user's strength, but it would place an enormous burden on the body. After obtaining it, the Gangke King had devoted himself to studying it, combining it with the martial arts of the Western Regions. He had increased the power of this fist art by at least five times, and he had also reduced the burden on his body by a great deal, resulting in the Bright Fist of Slaughter.
"I don't believe that I'll lose to a puny human. Die!"
Seeing the King Gangke lunge at him, the red-bearded giant seemed to be greatly humiliated. Suddenly enraged, he gathered all the strength in his body and viciously smashed at the rising King Gangke.
Rumble! The red-bearded giant's iron fist streaked through the air like a meteor. Wherever it passed, black cracks seemed to appear in the air. Given the red-bearded giant's innate strength, this all-out attack could probably shatter a mountain. If an ordinary human were to take this punch, they would die without a doubt.
Boom!
The two iron fists, one large and one small, fiercely collided in the air. In that instant, the wind howled, and even the sky seemed to split open. "Aaaah!" As countless Tang Dynasty soldiers and giants watched, the seemingly stronger red-bearded giant gave a shrill scream. His right fist suddenly split open, blood gushing out like a waterfall, and his fist bent backward at a strange angle. Under the immense force, the red-bearded giant fell to his knees, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"This is all the so-called giants amount to!"
The King Gangke sneered and lunged forward.
The King Gangke's appearance had caused a slight reversal on the battlefield, rousing the morale of the surrounding soldiers.
Even though the King Gangke and Wushang's cavalry had improved the projectile attacks of the Skyquaking Giants, the Tang Dynasty was still in a terrible situation.
"Roar!" The giant beasts roared. Four giant beasts that were as large as mountains charged toward the first line of defense. Seven hundred zhang, six hundred zhang, five hundred zhang … At this distance, everyone could even smell the stench of blood wafting from the giant beasts.
Behind the Behemoths were two times the number of Tang Dynasty Arab cavalry, howling as they followed the four Behemoths. If the Behemoths were the vanguard, they were the rear. At a distance of six hundred zhang, the Tang Dynasty soldiers behind the first defense line could clearly see the bulging muscles of the Arab cavalry, the bulging veins and blood vessels on the backs of their hands, and the savage expressions and bloodthirsty gazes in their eyes.
Rumble! In a place that no one could see, bang! A part of the ground suddenly split open, and a yellow-brown monster that looked like a giant centipede suddenly burrowed out of the ground. This monster had many appendages, and its skin and body were as hard as rock. It also had a head that was as sharp as a sword.
On the head of this monster was a hideous hunchbacked man dressed in a crimson robe. He was none other than the leader of the Behemoth Army, Masil.
"Buzz!"
Masil began to form a spell on the head of the centipede monster. In a flash, faint rays of light vanished into the air, heading toward the four mountainous Behemoths.
"Kill, kill! Kill all these infidels for me! Leave none alive! "
Masil's eyes shone with a chilling light as he stared at the steel defense line.
The Behemoths were very difficult to control, and when they attacked, they basically didn't distinguish between friend and foe. Thus, Masil rarely controlled more than two Behemoths at once. Even when he did use two, he would keep them very far apart so that they could attack different targets. Just like the Terrorizer and the Destroyer, one destroying the defense line while the other destroying the city.
But now, three powerful Behemoths had been slain by the Tang Dynasty, causing Masil to lose all face in front of the two hundred thousand Arab soldiers. In order to restore the reputation of the Behemoth Army, Masil had finally been forced to personally participate in this battle.
In all of Arabia, only he could control four Behemoths at the same time without accidentally injuring his own army.
Rumble! After carefully calculating the direction of the four Behemoths, the distance between them, and their condition, Masil had the centipede monster make a turn in the air and burrow back into the earth. The hard rock seemed as soft as mud in a swamp to the centipede monster. In a flash, Masil and the centipede monster had vanished into the earth. After they disappeared, the ground returned to normal, and no traces could be seen.
Behind them, two figures exuding powerful auras were seated on their divine steeds, their eyes like lightning bolts as they calmly observed the course of the battle.
"The Skyquaking Army has already achieved its goal. The Tang Dynasty can't even fend for itself and has fallen into disarray. Gao Xianzhi and the other Tang Dynasty commanders have also been exhausted by the Behemoths and are no longer at their peak. "
The Arab Deputy Governor of the East, Ziyad, said as he followed closely behind Abu Muslim. The gales caused the armor of the Arab horsemen to clatter and clang, but Ziyad remained seated on his horse, his body exuding an invisible energy that kept all the winds at bay. His expression was as determined as steel.
He had been observing this battle this entire time. At this stage of the battle, the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had fallen into their rhythm. If this situation continued, it would only take a few hours for all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to be wiped out.
Once these Tang people were killed, the final obstacle on the Arabian eastern expedition would be swept away.
"Don't get careless! Until the Tang Dynasty is truly defeated, even if we have the absolute advantage, we can't underestimate the enemy! Are the deaths of the Terrorizer and Destroyer not enough to prove the problem? "
Abu Muslim said, but his expression was abnormally calm, not the slightest hint of pride on his face. A ripple of emotion appeared in Abu Muslim's eyes as he scanned the corpses of the two Behemoths. Both the Terrorizer and Destroyer were extremely powerful existences in Arabia, and they had destroyed countless enemies and cities. But who could have imagined that these powerful existences would suffer a crushing defeat at Talas, dying at the hands of these infidels? Far too many inconceivable things had happened to the Tang Dynasty, especially that young commander. Thus, Abu Muslim did not dare to be the slightest bit careless until the battle was won.
In addition, the two giant ballistae had still not been destroyed. Harassing the enemy army and breaking them from within was important, but to Abu Muslim, destroying the two giant ballistae was far more important.
"What's the situation with Ghareeb Hassam? As the leader of the Skyquaking Army, he should be taking action soon, "Abu Muslim said.
"The order has already been passed on.
Ghareeb Hassam should have already received the news. If everything goes as expected, he should be taking action very soon, "Deputy Governor Ziyad sincerely said.
Deputy Governor Ziyad sincerely said.
Although the Skyquaking Giants were powerful, the upper echelon of the Arab army tended to look down on them because they were not very intelligent. But Ziyad clearly had a different attitude toward the Skyquaking Army's commander, Ghareeb Hassam.
"Pass on my order! Have him speed up!"
Abu Muslim said.
"Yes!"
Ziyad waved a hand behind him, and an Arab messenger quickly turned and left.
