The Arabian Empire had an extremely strict hierarchy, and if the commander of the vital Behemoth Army died in battle because of Abu Muslim, not even he, hailed as the strongest Governor of the East in history, could bear the responsibility.
”Wang Chong, you will pay a price for this! I will personally kill you and have you buried together with Masil!”
Abu Muslim's expression was contorted with rage.
”Asmodai's Fury!”
Abu Muslim immediately unleashed his strongest attack. Behind him, Asmodai, one of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars, began to split its three heads apart, each one clearly showing signs of creating its own body. In this moment, Abu Muslim's power increase by nearly forty percent.
”Die for me!”
At almost the same time, Deputy Governor Ziyad grasped the bronze Ocean Ring and threw it at Wang Chong. These two highest commanders of the Arab army stimulated all their energy in their frenzied assault against Wang Chong.
Boomboomboom!
The governor and his deputy unleashed a flurry of assaults on the giant ape, from the front and back, left and right. They covered every possible angle, saturating every last inch of the space around Wang Chong.
Space itself began to crack under their assault, pitch-black and twisted fissures appearing. The boundless power even made the earth drone and quake as if an earthquake was happening. Moreover, under the attacks of these two commanders, even the supreme Consecrated began to appear unsteady, large bruises appearing on its body as it was forced into a passive position.
For something as powerful as the Consecrated, this sort of situation was difficult to imagine.
”Abu Muslim, Ziyad, it's pointless.”
Wang Chong stood on the shoulder of the giant ape and shook his head at the two Arabs. Darks clouds were gathering overhead, and as Wang Chong looked around, he could see fierce winds raging over the battlefield while shrill whistles like the wailing of ghosts filled his ears. But Wang Chong remained calm, his expression utterly unmoved.
”All of this is in vain. Your attacks can't even break the defense of the giant ape, much less threaten me!”
Wang Chong towered like a rock in the middle of a river. Abu Muslim and Ziyad had no idea that what they were facing was not Wang Chong, but the veteran and supreme War Saint of the Central Plains, an individual who had taken the last force of soldiers in the entire continent and fought with the otherworldly invaders for decades. This was a top-class commander who had been refined through blood and fire.
Boom, boom, bang! Neither Abu Muslim nor Ziyad slowed their attacks. On the contrary, they only increased their intensity.
”Impudent! I'd like to see just how long you can hold on!”
”Who cares if you can control the Behemoths! No matter how large a price must be paid, I will kill you! If I don't kill you, I will never be able to rest!”
Ziyad's expression was ice-cold. Although Wang Chong was able to control the giant ape, both he and Abu Muslim could sense that Wang Chong's own cultivation level was not high enough. He was only at Saint Martial Tier 8, not even at the Great General level.
If not for the fact that the Consecrated, the strongest of the four Behemoths, had constantly been impeding them, either he or Abu Muslim would have been able to easily pulverize Wang Chong.
Behemoths were no warriors. Their defenses could not be so tight. A flaw would pop up eventually, and that moment would spell Wang Chong's demise!
Buzz!
Just when Ziyad had decided to kill Wang Chong at any cost, the sky suddenly dimmed as a massive shadow fell over Ziyad. Ziyad's expression froze as he slowly turned his head, and what he saw was a giant figure with two scarlet eyes staring emotionlessly at him.
”The Burning One!”
Ziyad's heart went cold as he recognized this beast. This Fire element Behemoth had somehow managed to advance so close to him without his knowledge. But this was not the only reason Ziyad's heart went cold. As he looked around, he saw that all four of the Arabian Behemoths had surrounded this area. Together with the Consecrated, they blocked off the north, south, east, and west, surrounding Abu Muslim and Ziyad.
