Chapter 575: The Decisive Battle! Jiaosiluo's Panic!

There were many joint attack formations, especially in the army. Whether it was the Great Tang, Ü-Tsang, or Mengshe Zhao, they all had these kinds of joint attack skills, some well-known and some secret. By combining the strength of many weaker individuals and the strength of the formation, they could challenge and even kill powerful experts.

However, such formations had never been easy to cultivate. They required mutual understanding and cooperation, so as a result, only small-scale joint attack formations were currently in use.

Joint attack formations only truly came into prevalence after the foreign invaders appeared.

All the warriors of the continent, whether they were from the Great Tang of the Central Plains, Ü-Tsang, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khaganates, or the distant Abbasid Caliphate and Charax Spasinu, had realized that none of their attacks were very effective against these otherworldly invaders.

All their attacks were half as powerful when used against these invaders, so they all had to think about other methods. Thus, the small-scale joint attack formations suddenly became the focus of attention.

All the empires and cultures of the world, including the Great Tang and the countries surrounding it, began to devote a large amount of manpower to researching and developing joint attack formations.

A great number of joint attack formations were developed at this time. In a short period of time, the small-scale joint attack formations reached their peak power, and Death's Scythe was an outstanding example from this era.

Although time had been short and Xu Shiping, Xu Andun, and the six Black Dragon elites had still not trained extensively in Death's Scythe, the combined power of these eight was more than enough to deal with Jiaosiluo.

Boom!

Zhao Wujiang and Luo Ji worked together with the Death's Scythe joint attack formation, and it took only a few seconds for the ten people to enclose Jiaosiluo. Even if Jiaosiluo had been ready, it would have still been too late to escape!

”Ah!”

Vast waves of Stellar Energy surged as eleven people clashed in midair and the surrounding soldiers looked on in shock. Jiaosiluo screamed as his Swordfanged Beast transformation was forcefully dispelled, the energy scattering from Jiaosiluo's human form.

Squelch!

A dark red spear, shining with a bloody light, plunged through Jiaosiluo's chest, narrowly missing his heart as it thrust through his organs and out the center of his back.

Luo Ji!

Invincible Iron Spear Luo Ji!

Only one person in the Annan Protectorate army possessed such mighty spear arts that could completely disregard the defense of Jiaosiluo's tough flesh and Stellar Energy: Iron Spear Luo!

Wang Chong's Wootz Steel spear coupled with Luo Ji's terrifying spear arts had pierced straight through Jiaosiluo's Shanzhong acupuncture point, tearing apart the organs in his chest. Even more terrifying was that Luo Ji's incredibly sharp Stellar Energy had already entered Jiaosiluo's body through his spear and was now wreaking havoc amongst his meridians.

”Jiaosiluo!”

”General!”

……

Roars came from all around as the eyes of the distant Tibetan warriors instantly turned red.

Sudden!

Too sudden!

Jiaosiluo had clearly been the pursuer, seemingly unstoppable and incomparably valiant, slaying all who dared to stand before him. Moreover, he had seemed ready to take Zhao Wujiang's life when the situation was reversed in the blink of an eye. Jiaosiluo had turned from pursuer to pursued, to the ambushed.

At the base of the mountain, the commanders of the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army felt their hearts stop!

Ambush!

This had been a through-and-through ambush. Zhao Wujiang's injury and escape had all been an act to lure Jiaosiluo into range!

”Damn it! We've been fooled!”

Dalun Ruozan's pupils constricted as the fan in his hand stopped. His eyes turned up to that thin youth on the summit.

Although Iron Spear Luo was famed for his spear arts, he was not known for his wit.

Zhao Wujiang could never have anticipated that it would be Jiaosiluo who would appear after these fierce exchanges!

Dalun Ruozan could think of only one person who could predict, when Duan Wuzong was entering the field, that Jiaosiluo would eventually show up. It was that young Great Tang boy, Wang Chong!

We've fallen for his scheme!

Dalun Ruozan's sleeves fluttered as his right hand clenched his feather fan. For the first time, he felt like he had lost his poise.

There were very few things in the world that could make him feel like he had lost his poise, but this incident was definitely one of them. Dalun Ruozan's loss of poise was certainly not because of Jiaosiluo. Jiaosiluo had merely induced it.

The true reason was that Dalun Ruozan felt that he had encountered a true opponent.

Jiaosiluo was someone that Huoshu Huicang had arranged to send out on the spot. When Duan Wuzong's Whitestone Corps was just beginning its assault, no normal person could have been thinking about trapping Jiaosiluo, and sent out Zhao Wujiang to deal with both.

Dalun Ruozan didn't understand military affairs!
