'Thank you!'
Though Wang Chong's lips moved, these words did not come out. There were some things that didn't need to be said, because everyone already understood.
Rumble!
More and more horses charged in. It took only a few moments for fifty to sixty people to gather by Wang Chong's side, and still more people were flooding in.
Li Siye, Su Hanshan, Wang Chong, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, An Yaluoshan, Ashina Sugan… no one knew that in this world of lightning and thunder, all those people who would influence the future of the Great Tang had gathered at this spot.
”They're finally here!”
The forces that followed behind him swiftly arrived in the pouring rain, causing the killing intent in Wang Chong's heart to multiply. He had waited all this time for this very moment.
The time was ripe.
”Strike! Kill them all!”
With a zing, Wang Chong unsheathed his Wootz Steel sword and issued the order to attack.
Rumble!
As a massive lightning bolt seared across the sky, the two stalemated groups finally began to move.
Boom! With a glimmer of cold light, a powerful saber intent surged like a waterfall into the firmament, slicing through the clouds and the high heavens themselves.
The moment Wang Chong issued his order, the Invincible Great General Li Siye began his attack. His body shot forward like an arrow, massive halos under his feet vibrating. Meanwhile, the strange saber that was even taller than a man fiercely swung around, transforming into a stunning attack that sought to cleave apart An Yaluoshan and the Youzhou rebel soldiers behind him.
In the northwest, Li Siye had single-handedly defeated all the Dragon Bandits and slain their boss, Black Dragon Zhao.
And with this attack, he immediately displayed a titanic strength that could mow down thousands.
Pengpengpeng!
Almost immediately after Li Siye leapt forward, two muscular figures soared out from behind An Yaluoshan like two mighty eagles.
These men had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and burly appearances, and they were both of similar age to Li Siye. A similarly majestic strength was contained in their bodies, and though it was still inferior to Li Siye's, it wasn't by much.
Boom!
A heaven-shaking explosion resounded in midair, intense waves of Stellar Energy emanating out and sending the rain flying. Even distant rooftiles were caught up in this explosion.
As the mist in the air dispersed, everyone realized to their astonishment that Li Siye's mighty blow had been blocked by the concerted effort of this pair.
”!”
Everyone who saw this was struck dumb.
”How is this possible?”
”Just who are these two people?”
……
Even Wang Chong's eyes showed hints of surprise. Li Siye was a high-tier Profound Martial realm expert and it was obvious to all how strong he was.
If he hadn't been so excessively strong, Deflecting Blade Manor wouldn't have allowed him to do as he pleased for so long. And he certainly wouldn't have been able to venture alone and retrieve Wang Chong's Hyderabad ore.
But the pair behind An Yaluoshan had actually managed to block him.
”Cui Qianyou!”
”Tian Qianzhen1!”
Wang Chong's eyes turned dark when he saw this pair. He had recognized who they were.
One Ashina Sugan had already taken him by surprise. Wang Chong hadn't expected that even these two would appear at An Yaluoshan's side.
Wang Chong clenched his fists as the expression in his eyes constantly shifted.
Before, when Wang Chong had heard the Stone of Destiny's warning, seen Li Siye's attack blocked by a lightning bolt and his own attack being blocked by the invisible energy of the world, he had known that killing An Yaluoshan would not be easy.
But Wang Chong had not expected even Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen to appear here.
In the history of the empire, these two had a very special place.
Even though they were members of the rebel army!
An Yaluoshan was only at the True Martial realm. Logically speaking, he was still a complete nobody. But Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen, on the other hand, were already famous in the Andong Protectorate.
In the future, these two would be some of the last few Imperial Great Generals in the final days of the empire, even though they were part of the rebel army!
Wang Chong had originally believed that An Yaluoshan's path would not have intersected with these two so quickly, but he now realized that he was gravely mistaken.
An Yaluoshan was far more formidable than he imagined.
Although this was only his first visit to the capital, the rebel army of Youzhou was already beginning to take shape around him.
”Old Eagle! Quickly go and help Li Siye!” Wang Chong immediately issued an order, his eyes narrowing.
