The High Priest was Masil's true master, but Masil never dared to call him such. The High Priest had taught far from just him alone. The entire Arabian Empire feared him, and even the Caliph treated him with great respect.
As he was thinking about these things, Masil trembled, and his progress came to a complete halt, as if he had run into some invisible wall. Masil was at first confused, and then he exploded with fury.
”Beast, hurry up and move!” Masil harshly scolded, at the same time taking out a brown dagger and stabbing it into the head of the centipede monster. The sense of collision that Masil had felt was really because the centipede monster had suddenly stopped moving for some reason.
But this was far from the only thing that would surprise Masil.
In the past, whenever Masil stabbed it with his dagger, the centipede monster would assuredly howl in pain, but this time, the centipede monster not only did not move forward, it remained frozen in place like it had been turned to stone.
”Damn it! Just what's going on here!”
Masil was both shocked and angry. The dagger in his hand, imbued with a power that was anathema to the centipede monster, stabbed down several more times, even punching a wound through which green blood flowed. Yet the centipede monster remained in place, its body rooted to the spot deep underground. It felt more like Masil was stabbing at an empty shell.
”Bastard!”
Masil was truly getting anxious now. The threat of Wang Chong followed him like his shadow. The smallest error would lead to his death on the battlefield.
”Masil, there's no need to waste your energy.” At this moment, an indifferent voice rang out over Masil's head. ”I've already taken control of this monster. As I said before, you can't escape!”
The voice was flat and emotionless, but in Masil's voice, it was like a peal of thunder, a bolt of lightning cleaving at his body.
”Wang Chong!”
Masil's body trembled like electricity was arcing through it. This was undoubtedly the voice that Masil wanted to hear the least.
A deep fear appeared in his eyes.
And this was not the only thing he had to fear!
The frozen centipede monster suddenly came to life as Wang Chong spoke, the joints of its massive body beginning to move. But the direction that the centipede monster moved struck fear into Masil's heart. He could only watch as it turned its head around, ceasing its flight to the west, and began to drill in Wang Chong's direction.
”Bastard! Stop right now!”
Masil lost his head, the dagger in his hand stabbing again and again at the centipede monster's body. At the same time, he sent a strand of Psychic Energy into the mind of the monster, hoping to regain control of it. However, what greeted him was a callous Psychic Energy assault. Boom! Masil's Psychic Energy was pulverized at the moment of first contact.
”Just give up on this idea! In front of me, you truly are nothing more than an ant! You won't have any space to keep up your struggles!” Wang Chong's cold voice rang out again, but this time, it spoke directly into Masil's mind.
”No, it can't be! I'll never lose to you! I'm the commander of the Behemoth Army, a valued minister of the Caliph. I can't lose to anyone!”
Masil's eyes were red as he furiously bellowed, his mind teetering on the brink of madness.
”Say these things to the Tang soldiers you killed!”
A chilling killing intent appeared in Wang Chong's eyes. His Psychic Energy bored through the center of Masil's forehead and rapidly began to invade his body.
”No! I won't lose to you!”
Masil strenuously roared and struggled, but he was incapable of stopping Wang Chong's assault. He gritted his teeth and launched counterattack after counterattack. Boooooom! Their Psychic Energies constantly collided. Masil knew that his life was on the line, and he stimulated all his potential. But these hundreds upon thousands of clashes all ended with Masil's defeat. The ferocity of the Psychic Energy domain was far more frightening than one could imagine. Finally…
”I've lost. Please, let me go. I swear an oath that I will never take another step into the Great Tang for the rest of my life!”
Masil's eyes finally lost their last sliver of pride and became full of pleading. In Wang Chong's Psychic Energy, he could sense a sliver of obvious killing intent. It was obvious that Wang Chong wanted to kill him to avenge the slain Tang soldiers.
