Buzz!
On the city wall below, the black smoke scattered, revealing the figure of Dayan Mangban with his black and red spear. As he raised his head to look at Wang Chong high in the air, a cold light gleamed in his eyes.
”Where are you going!”
Dayan Mangban stamped his foot down and took off like a furious gale. The spear in his hand even transformed into an evil dragon, sending out black coils of smoke as he pursued Wang Chong with astonishing speed. In the air, there was no place to get a foothold to weave or dodge, making one far less agile. In these circumstances, Dayan Mangban couldn't possibly let his target go.
But Dayan Mangban had deeply underestimated Wang Chong's reflexes and speed. Buzz! His right hand snatched out at a distant wall, and without a single handhold, Wang Chong altered his falling trajectory, quickly appearing on that wall.
”Sanyuan, Shixuan, dispatch a group of soldiers to clear up the White Braves in the city, and strengthen the guard around the gate. In addition, Xu Keyi, Guan Yu, Chen Bin… Death's Scythe!”
Wang Chong proudly stood on the city wall, his eyes locked on Dayan Mangban and exuding a cold light.
The Great Snow Mountain's Devil Dragon Art, a Saint Martial cultivator of the brigadier general level, his tyrannical Stellar Energy, and his extraordinary experience and skill on the battlefield made Dayan Mangban probably the strongest and most troublesome opponent Wang Chong had encountered since his reincarnation.
His cultivation wouldn't be enough to hold down and kill this major enemy of the Qixi Protectorate. He needed to borrow the strength of others.
”Yes, Milord!”
Shouts came from various places on the walls. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi, Chen Bin, Guan Yu… the officers of the City of Steel gathered and took formation behind Wang Chong.
Death's Scythe!
This was a small-scale joint attack formation that was used to challenge solitary elite experts!
Previously, Xu Shiping, Xu Andun and the others had used the formation with only eight people, but only in Wang Chong's hands would Death's Scythe show its true power. As more and more of the elite experts under Wang Chong's command gathered, he continued to grow stronger and stronger.
Fourteen, fifteen, sixteen…
The number of experts behind Wang Chong quickly doubled, and it continued to increase, quickly reaching twenty and rising.
And when the number of experts behind Wang Chong reached thirty-two…
Buzz!
There was a flash of light and space began to twist. Thirty-two people, or thirty-three including Wang Chong, formed into 'Death's Scythe', all of their gazes locked onto the distant Dayan Mangban.
The energy of these thirty-three people fused into one, their combined Stellar Energy growing even stronger.
Roooar!
A howl could be heard, brimming with the thick stench of death. Above Wang Chong's group, a massive scythe, three-some zhang long and incomparably sharp, manifested in the air.
And behind this scythe, a black and twisted figure, several times the size of an adult man, appeared.
Bang!
Dayan Mangban extended his legs and landed on the wall across from Wang Chong. As he looked at that image manifesting above Wang Chong's forces, he couldn't help but pale.
He had some understanding of the martial arts of the Central Plains, as Ü-Tsang had many spies in the Central Plains. But the formation being used here still took Dayan Mangban by surprise.
To put it simply, Dayan Mangban had never seen this sort of formation.
Yet Dayan Mangban could sense that this formation was incredibly fierce. At the very least, it was not one that he could treat lightly.
”Dayan Mangban, now we can have a good fight!”
Illuminated by the dim light from the furnaces outside the walls, Wang Chong stood on the wall, a thin smile finally emerging on his lips. There was still a massive gap in strength between him and Dayan Mangban, so in the battle, he had been very constrained.
But boosted by Death's Scythe, his strength was on a completely different level. Borrowing the power of these thirty-two officers, he had now reached the peak of Imperial Martial Tier 9. Although he was still not at the Saint Martial realm, this was enough strength for Wang Chong to challenge Dayan Mangban.
Bang!
With a stomp of his foot, Wang Chong shot into the air. For the first time, he was the one on the offensive.
”Up!”
Behind him, Cheng Sanyuan, Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi, and the others shot into the air at the same time, closely following Wang Chong in attack. The greatest advantage of joint attack formations was that all the strength of the people in the formation fused together. Thus, it wasn't just Wang Chong who received a boost in strength. All the other officers did as well.
