Chapter 357: Final Opportunity!
Boom!
A frenzied wind blew, and Stellar Energy spilled into the surroundings. With ten spears striking Iron Cloak Li squarely in rapid succession, even with Iron Cloak Li's black Stellar Energy chainmail protecting him, he still felt his innards being shaken violently. His face swiftly flushed a bright shade of crimson, and it felt as if blood would ooze from its surface.
This was the first time Iron Cloak Li had been put in a spot ever since the start of the battle.
”This is a good opportunity!” Wang Chong's eyes lit up.
Atop the White-hoofed Shadow, Wang Chong immediately galloped furiously for Iron Cloak Li.
Hua!
With a ferocious cry, a True Martial realm Halo of Thorns rippled around Bai Siling as she brought her sword down on Iron Cloak Li.
Hong hong hong!
The intense collision seemed to have caused time to slow for this instant. Veins began popping up on Iron Cloak Li's eight chi tall body, and pain colored his face.
But nevertheless, the nine chi large black Stellar Energy chainmail protected his entire body from harm as firmly as a fortress.
Be it the strike from the ten cavalrymen or the slash harnessing Bai Siling's full might, nothing seemed to be able to penetrate the black chainmail.
”It's no use. You won't be able to breach my Iron Cloak Te... AHHH!”
Iron Cloak Li's hoarse voice swiftly turned into a pained cry as a three chi long sword with many exquisite flowing marks on it punched through Iron Cloak Li's black Stellar Energy chainmail and pierced his back.
”What sword is that? How could any sword pierce through my Iron Cloak Technique?” Iron Cloak Li's pained bellow shook even the air itself.
The black chainmail swiftly gathered from his surroundings in an attempt to stop Wang Chong's sword from plunging any deeper.
Hong long!
A violent and pitch-black Deluge of Stellar Energy, accompanied with numerous steel-like Martial halos abruptly appeared around Iron Cloak Li. Boom boom boom, with numerous deafening explosions, Wang Chong, Bai Siling, and the other ten Great Tang cavalrymen were sent flying in all directions.
Peng!
Under the immense shock wave, Wang Chong ended up flipping in the air several times. Only after using several force-warding techniques and stabbing his sword into the ground did he manage to stabilize himself.
But even so, he still felt a sweet sensation at the back of his throat, and the flow of energy in his body was in disarray.
The first thing he did was to check on Little Shadow, and he heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the latter was fine.
This fellow is too strong!, Wang Chong thought.
An assault from ten Great Tang cavalrymen charging at full speed, as well as Bai Siling and him, and yet they were still unable to kill Iron Cloak Li.
He did indeed possess a strength that could induce despair.
”Brat, what is that sword in your hand?” a bone-chilling voice filled with killing intent and rage sounded.
Raising his gaze, Wang Chong saw Iron Cloak Li standing upright in the distance, staring at him with eyes reminiscent of a venomous snake.
The reason why Iron Cloak Li dared to challenge Wang Chong and forty Great Tang cavalrymen was due to his powerful Iron Cloak Technique.
This technique allowed him to create an armor out of Stellar Energy that was impenetrable by sword or saber. No matter how skillful a technique was, if it didn't possess sufficient strength to overcome the Stellar Energy chainmail, it would be nothing more than an act.
It went without saying that the defensive capability of the Iron Cloak Technique was incredible, and most True Martial realm experts wouldn't be able to overcome it.
With this technique that provided both defensive and offensive capabilities, Iron Cloak Li was able to kill more than ten Great Tang cavalrymen easily in exceptionally gruesome fashion.
But just a moment ago, the Iron Cloak Technique which Iron Cloak Li viewed as his greatest trump card had been breached by a sword!
This was something that had never happened before!
Most swords and sabers forged by the swordsmiths in the capital couldn't dream of overcoming his defense, and even the best of them could, at best, pierce through his Stellar Energy armor lightly.
None of them were able to stab deep into his back after piercing through the Stellar Energy armor, unlike Wang Chong's sword!
For the first time, a slight hint of apprehension surfaced in Iron Cloak Li's eyes. At the same time, his determination to kill Wang Chong had also been rekindled.
A weapon that could threaten him couldn't be allowed to exist. At the very least, it should never appear in the hands of his enemy.
However, Wang Chong remained nonchalant about it, paying no heed to Iron Cloak Li.
”Everyone, we'll do battle offhorseback. Use your steeds to block the highwaymen while we focus our efforts on slaying Iron Cloak Li!” Wang Chong commanded grimly.
A huge army of highwaymen was swiftly nearing them, and in just a few seconds, they would be onto them. By that moment, defeat and death would be what that was awaiting them.
But even at this crucial moment, Wang Chong had no intention of giving up. He was still calmly issuing orders to deal with the situation at hand.
Jya!
The discipline of the Great Tang cavalrymen shown through yet again. The surviving cavalrymen swiftly carried out his orders perfectly.
The remaining twenty cavalrymen simultaneously leapt down from their steeds as they pushed them forward, urging them in all directions to block the ferociously charging highwaymen.
Every single steed of Great Tang had been carefully selected and trained over a long period of time.
