Roooar!
Chapter 976: Battle!
Roooar! The Burning One, the Reaper, and the Consecrated all roared at the same time, their scarlet eyes staring viciously at Wang Chong, who was standing on a protruding rock amidst countless corpses.
Bangbangbang! Dust churned and the earth quaked. At almost the same time, the four Behemoths lowered their bodies and roared as they lunged at Wang Chong from all directions. As they lunged, they also launched swift attacks. Hwoooo! Flames more dazzling than the sun appeared at the Burning One's throat, and with a squelch, they flew through the air. But this time, their target was not Wang Chong, but the bloodstained Wang Chong.
"Ah!"
Cries of alarm could be heard from all around. Let alone the Tang, even the tens of thousands of Arab cavalry on the ground noticed this abnormal sight, all of them glancing at each other, confused as to what was going on.
In the air, Abu Muslim and Ziyad glanced at each other, their brows tightly furrowed.
This was not part of the plan at all!
The actions of the four Behemoths had completely exceeded the scope of a normal military attack. This was not what Abu Muslim had expected.
"What is this bastard Masil doing?!"
Abu Muslim's mind was burning with rage.
Military orders were like mountains. As the commander-in-chief of the army and the illustrious Governor of Iron and Blood, Abu Muslim had always been known for his iron fist, callousness, and strict discipline. No matter which famous general or general under his command, no matter what background or ability they had, even Deputy Governor Ziyad, no one dared to defy his orders.
But in the current situation, it was clear that Masil had mobilized four elite Behemoths and acted on his own, causing Abu Muslim to instinctively feel displeased. But in the end, Abu Muslim was not someone who couldn't endure. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty's defense line had been broken, and its collapse was a foregone conclusion. Given this, Abu Muslim would not lower himself to Masil's level for the time being.
"Is it because of that brat?"
Abu Muslim narrowed his eyes as he followed the four Behemoths to the distant Wang Chong. In a flash, Abu Muslim seemed to understand something, but there was no time to think. Abu Muslim's body trembled with black energy as he attacked Gao Xianzhi with all his might.
Abu Muslim's desire to kill Wang Chong was no less than Masil's, but before that, Abu Muslim first had to deal with Go Seonji, the core of the Anxi Protectorate army.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In midair, the two figures were as fast as lightning, leaving behind a series of afterimages in the void as they continuously clashed against each other.
On the other side of the boulder, Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he saw the four Behemoths lunging at him, and he swiftly took action.
Boom! Boundless Psychic Energy swept out and collided with the four Behemoths. In a flash, Wang Chong and Masil had once more collided. Wang Chong felt a soundless tremor in his mind, and on the other side, the consciousness that Masil had attached to the four Behemoths seemed to be swept away by a gale and pulverized.
The four Behemoths that had been lunging at Wang Chong suddenly froze, confusion appearing in their scarlet eyes. All of them were at a loss for what to do, only able to take stock of their surroundings in a daze.
"As expected!"
At this sight, Wang Chong immediately understood.
This was the first time in Wang Chong's life that he had engaged in a battle with a powerful Psychic Energy master. The first time, Wang Chong had been fighting on instinct, but after three exchanges, Wang Chong was getting more and more proficient in using Psychic Energy. Now, he had vaguely understood something. Perhaps this war was far from over.
Wang Chong sensed that if he wanted to change the outcome of the Battle of Talas, he had grasped an extremely crucial key.
"Bastard! I'm going to die from anger! "
Deep underground, Masil's lungs were about to explode from anger. As the commander of the Behemoth Army, Masil had never failed in controlling the Behemoths, but three times in a row, he had been stopped by this youth from the Tang Dynasty. Masil had a powerful Psychic Energy, but he couldn't use it at all.
It was like he had encountered his nemesis.
"Impossible! I can't lose to a brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet! "
Masil's killing intent burned hotter and hotter.
Boom! Psychic Energy condensed into a sharp awl that pierced through the earth toward Wang Chong.
Darkness Thrust!
As the commander of the Behemoth Army, Masil had inherited an extremely powerful psychic art from the priest of the Arabian Empire. It could easily obliterate a person's soul, and Masil had once used this dark stab to kill many enemy generals. Even those Great Generals would suffer severe mental injuries from Masil's attacks.
In the field of psychic energy, the hideous Masil was undoubtedly a grandmaster.
Boom!
Masil's Darkness Thrust was like a sharp sword that stabbed into Wang Chong's mind. But a moment later, the Psychic domain exploded with a heaven-rending boom. Masil suddenly realized that his Darkness Thrust seemed to have struck the world's sturdiest psychic barrier, instantly dispersing into nothingness.
Moreover, what shocked Masil the most was that he sensed an unprecedented soul in that young man's body, one that was completely different from any Masil had ever seen. This soul was powerful and exuded a bizarre feeling.
In Masil's perception, it was like there were several souls layered on top of each other. This was a bizarre situation, but it was also perfect and harmonious.
Masil had never seen such a complicated soul before.
"Brat, just who are you?"
Masil said in shock.
Wang Chong was also rather surprised.
This Psychic Energy expert hiding behind the curtains was far more formidable than he had imagined. He seemed to have noticed something, something that had never happened before. But a moment later, Wang Chong came back to his senses. No one could discover the secret of the Stone of Destiny. As for Masil's psychic attack, Wang Chong could even endure death, let alone a trifling psychic attack.
"Haha, don't say such meaningless words. I've already discovered your position. You controlled the Behemoths to kill so many of my men. Do you think you can escape?"
Wang Chong coldly chuckled. Masil should not have used this sort of psychic attack. Previously, although Wang Chong knew that he was underground, he had no way of determining his exact location. But now, Masil's attack on Wang Chong had allowed Wang Chong to grasp his weakness and find his exact location.
"What!"
Deep underground, Masil was flabbergasted to hear these words. Before Masil had time to think, he sensed an enormous tide of Psychic Energy erupting from the ground. What made Masil pale the most was that this tide of Psychic Energy began to transform midway, fusing together into a sharp cone.
It was the same as Masil's Darkness Stab!
"Boom!"
Wang Chong's Psychic Energy attack thundered through the ground and slammed into Masil's body. There was a soundless tremor in their minds. On the ground, Wang Chong, who was standing on the boulder, clearly swayed.
Underground, two streams of blood flowed from Masil's nostrils.
In a simple clash of Psychic Energy, Masil did not fear Wang Chong, but unlike a Saint Martial Tier 8 expert like Wang Chong, Masil's body was far weaker. This Psychic Energy attack had left his blood in turmoil and his body injured.
"Impossible! How could there be such a thing? He managed to learn my technique so quickly!"
Masil's entire body trembled, his heart chilled. His injuries were secondary to the fact that Wang Chong had been able to use his own technique to counterattack. This was something that Masil found unacceptable and fearful.
Wang Chong clearly did not know the Darkness Stab, or else he would not have used such a primitive method to attack. But for someone to learn another Psychic Energy technique in such a short amount of time, comprehend it, and use it in actual combat, this sort of talent far surpassed Masil's imagination.
In Masil's understanding, this was impossible. Even if he was a genius, he did not have this sort of ability.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Brat, I'll definitely kill you! "
Masil's mind was in a mess. He had always been conceited, but Wang Chong's existence was a massive blow to him. Boomboomboom! Without the slightest hesitation, Masil gathered his Psychic Energy into countless sharp needles that shot toward Wang Chong.
"Hmph, come!"
On the ground, Wang Chong stood on the boulder, his expression cold and fearless. This Arab Psychic Energy expert was truly formidable, but no matter how formidable, his Psychic Energy attacks could not compare to the World Constraint.
Without the slightest hesitation, vast waves of Psychic Energy erupted from Wang Chong's brow and surged through the earth toward Masil. And it was even more vicious than Masil's.
This was the first major defeat of Wang Chong's life. The thick stench of blood in the air and the countless corpses and severed limbs on the ground were all stabbing at Wang Chong's heart. There was no question that the Tang Dynasty had suffered today's defeat because of the four Behemoths and that mysterious Psychic Energy expert hidden deep underground.
Abu Muslim and his two hundred thousand Arab cavalry alone would have never possessed this sort of strength!
