Gao Xianzhi's armor had been gifted to him by the Sage Emperor. It had been extremely tough, capable of stopping divine weapons. In Gao Xianzhi's ten-some years campaigning through the Western Regions, this armor had always kept him safe. But in the end, it had been destroyed by Abu Muslim's palm. From this, one could easily imagine Abu Muslim's strength.

Boom! Gao Xianzhi had expended much of his strength fending off the Behemoths, whereas Abu Muslim was still in peak condition, as well as launching a surprise attack. Gao Xianzhi was swiftly suppressed. The assault of the four Behemoths and the two hundred thousand Arab soldiers was a harsh trial for the Great Tang, and the appearance of Abu Muslim was like adding an avalanche on top of a blizzard. At this moment, the Great Tang was in a terrible position.

Moreover, with Gao Xianzhi's attack intercepted, the giant ape had no more obstacles, and its enormous steely fist thundered down like Mount Tai upon Wang Chong. There was no else to help Wang Chong now. The fist was crashing down, and in the next moment, Wang Chong would be dead. However, Gao Xianzhi's attempt had not been completely useless.

Buzz! Upon hearing the explosive clash between Gao Xianzhi and Abu Muslim, Wang Chong suddenly came back to his senses.

”It's him!”

Wang Chong's mind was given a jolt as he saw the hairy fist coming down and the stalwart and determined figure in the distance. Boom! The giant ape's fist slammed down, creating a giant hole in the ground. Kacrack! The earth trembled as cracks began to spread through it, fountains of rock and dirt gushing out from them.

The power of that enormous punch left everyone stunned!

”Wonderful!”

Deep in the ground, Masil clenched his fists, his eyes burning with excitement.

”That bastard is finally dead!”

That young Tang commander, that bastard who had killed three of his Behemoths, had finally been killed by the Consecrated. Masil was awash with satisfaction. Rumble! Under Masil's command, the giant ape began to slowly raise its enormous fist, its scarlet eyes sweeping the ground.

”Anyone who dares to oppose me will never have a good end! Although I won't be able to make your head into a stool, it's also not bad to appreciate your shattered corpse!”

Masil's eyes glimmered with excitement. Masil had many perverted hobbies that no one knew about. Other than bathing in the blood of his foes, he also enjoyed examining his opponents after they died gruesome deaths. The stronger they were, the higher status, and the greater the resistance they put up, the more Masil found himself entranced by them.

Wang Chong had killed three Behemoths, dealing a major blow to his army. Viewing his shattered body was more attractive to Masil than anything else, tantamount to a grand banquet.

But then, Masil's excited face froze. The ground beneath the ape's fist was empty. Not even a blood stain could be seen, much less a corpse.

”What's going on?”

Masil's eyes narrowed, his face transforming into a grimace. Masil began to scan the ground, swiftly noticing that familiar figure.

”Damn it! How did this happen!”

Masil felt like grinding his teeth into crumbs. He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to escape the giant ape's attack with so little distance to work with. An intense killing intent immediately exploded from his body.

”I can disregard anyone else on this battlefield, but you have to die! Do you really think you can escape?”

His mind seething with killing intent, Masil immediately had the giant ape leap forward in pursuit. While still in the air, the giant ape raised one of its massive arms and sent another punch at Wang Chong, faster and fiercer than the previous one.

”Lord Marquis, watch out!” Xue Qianjun loudly called out. After having had a brief moment of relief, he tensed up once more.

Others also called out in alarm, their hearts at their throats. Wang Chong was the commander of the army and the Protector-General of Qixi, looked up to by all his men.

If Wang Chong were heavily injured or killed in battle, the morale of the army would be annihilated and the lines would instantly collapse!

But as the fist hurtled down, Wang Chong flashed away, leaving behind a blur as he succeeded in barely dodging the attack.

Wang Chong's strength had already reached Tier 8 of the Saint Martial realm. Even though the giant ape was powerful, it would still find it no easy to task to kill Wang Chong.

Masil was at first stunned, but then his eyes turned red with fury.

”Die! Die! Die!” The more times Wang Chong dodged his attacks, the stronger Masil's killing intent became. ”You can dodge once or twice, but I don't believe you can dodge one hundred times, one thousand times!”

Rooooar! Under Masil's control, the giant ape began to flail both its arms, unleashing a flurry of attacks on Wang Chong. But Masil failed to realize that as Wang Chong dodged attack after attack, his eyes became clearer, his expression more resolved.

No retreat! I cannot retreat!

A voice was echoing through Wang Chong's mind, getting louder and louder.
