”Waaaah!”

The surrounding soldiers reeled back in shock, the mercenaries from the Western Regions paling as they retreated in panic. Even the other Tang cavalry couldn't help but show a tinge of fear on their faces.

Each battle was an enormous meat grinder, and once this meat grinder began to operate, it would cause countless deaths, both on the enemy side and on one's own side. Every person was ready to die on the battlefield, but none of them had ever expected to die like this. And no one had ever imagined that there could be a giant like this, capable of using Stellar Energy to burn his enemies to ash. So fierce and horrifying was this method of death that it made everyone quiver in fear.

Boom! With a heavy stomp, Ghareeb Hassam finished the destruction of the giant ballista, cruelly laughing as he stepped over its remains and headed for the second, and last, giant ballista. If he could destroy that one, the mission of the Skyquaking Army would be complete.

”Stop him!”

The soldiers all knew the danger this posed and began to heedlessly charge to the side of the final giant ballista to protect it. At the same time, the ballista soldiers manning the giant ballista began to adjust it, hoping to fire the giant ballista bolts on this King of Giants.

But while the giant ballista was powerful, it was a clumsy and slow contraption. The two giant ballistae had been very close to each other, and they had originally been aimed out of the defense line. With Ghareeb Hassam having descended right onto the first giant ballista, it was nearly impossible for the second giant ballista to turn in time.

”A pile of ignorant ants! Before me, all of you are not even worth mentioning!” Ghareeb Hassam thunderously roared.

Rumble! Ghareeb Hassam punched, sending out waves of energy, and before they even had time to scream, several dozen Tang cavalry were engulfed in flames and burned to ash. Boom!Ghareeb Hassam kicked out, and yet another batch of Tang cavalry was burned to ashes. With a punch and a kick, Ghareeb Hassam suddenly found his path clear, no more soldiers standing in his way.

Buzz! The ballista soldiers turned ashen. If this last giant ballista were destroyed, the Great Tang's defeat was almost certain.

As Ghareeb Hassam elatedly charged forward to destroy the final giant ballista and complete his mission, a figure suddenly shot in front of the giant ballista to stand against him.

”All of you, get out of the way! Leave this giant to me!”

The Gangke King gave Ghareeb Hassam a cold glare, his body surging with a thick killing intent. The fallen and blood-drenched body of the red-bearded giant nearby made the Gangke King appear even stronger and mightier.

This contest between human and giant had finally concluded with the Gangke King emerging victorious over the red-bearded giant through overwhelming strength, even managing to kill him. But the Gangke King had never imagined that in these few short moments where his attention had been diverted, one of the giant ballistae would be destroyed. This left his heart fuming with rage.

”Let me entertain you!”

The Gangke King was on the offensive from the moment he appeared, striking before Ghareeb Hassam could respond.

The Bright Fist of Massacre!

A powerful energy burst out of the Gangke King's body, the countless images of fists layering over each other into an enormous mountain that hurtled toward the twenty-seven-meter figure of Ghareeb Hassam.

The stronger the opponent, the stronger the Bright Fist of Massacre was. The red-bearded giant had already fallen to his iron fists, and now, the Gangke King was using this same technique against the commander of the giants.

”Hmph, a good move!”

Noticing the corpse of the red-bearded giant, Ghareeb Hassam also fumed. A majestic sea of Stellar Energy surged out from his body, transforming into a fist that punched at the Gangke King.

Rumble!

No one could tell just how many blows the Gangke King exchanged with the commander of the Skyquaking Army. They could only see that the moment they clashed, an endless sea of fire began to batter and collide against the fist images created by the Gangke King's Bright Fist of Massacre!

Bang! The flames dispersed, but while Ghareeb Hassam remained unmoved, the Gangke King was thrown back, falling to the ground in a cloud of dust. His face was slightly pale, but he had not been burned to ash by those flames.
