”Could all this be related to Masil?”

As Wang Chong thought about Masil's last words, his brow creased even more. He knew all of Masil's secrets already, and he had already won a complete victory in the battle of Psychic Energy, so Masil shouldn't have been able to hide anything from him. Moreover, his control over the Behemoths was just growing more sluggish. It might have just been because he had been controlling them for too long. There might not have been any real problem.

With these thoughts, Wang Chong quickly calmed down and looked into the distance. On the ground, the King of Giants Ghareeb Hassam was in much better condition than expected, as he had not been struck in a vital point.

”Damn thing! Don't give me another chance. Otherwise, I'll eat you alive, tear you to pieces!”

As he crawled out of the ground, Ghareeb Hassam clenched his teeth in fury.

Wang Chong only sneered at these words. He understood Arabic and could understand everything this King of Giants said, but he did not argue or refute. He only quietly stared at Ghareeb Hassam and then gave the order.

Boom!

As Ghareeb Hassam raged and cursed, the sky overhead dimmed, and an enormous palm gave Ghareeb Hassam's back a hefty slap. Rooooar! The enormous white bear withdrew its palm and roared after knocking Ghareeb Hassam unconscious.

”Still not smart enough!”

Wang Chong faintly smiled and swiftly turned the giant ape to begin striding toward the front lines. The battle was decided. The Skyquaking Army had fled and Abu Muslim and Ziyad had chosen to withdraw, so all that remained was to pursue the Arab soldiers. Unlike before, the Arabs had lost almost entirely elites in this battle. It was time to strike while the iron was hot and reap a greater harvest.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The giant ape swiftly strode forward. As Wang Chong observed the battlefield from its shoulder, he could hear countless panicked screams. More than one hundred thousand Arab cavalry had thrown aside their weapons and armor in their mad flight to the west. Behind them, the Tang army had gathered and was in hot pursuit.

Wherever the black tide of Tang soldiers reached, the Arabs would be cut down in great swaths. For the first time, the number of Arab corpses exceeded the number of Tang corpses.

”Now is the time for all of you to pay the price!”

Wang Chong had a smile on his face, but it quickly faded. He suddenly smelled a pungent odor carried along by the wind. He initially disregarded it, but he soon realized that this odor was only getting thicker, not fading away. Based on what Wang Chong could sense, this odor was coming from somewhere very close.

Drip!

The trickling and dripping of a liquid reached his ears. Though extremely soft, this sound was like a thunderclap to an expert of Wang Chong's level. More importantly, the pungent odor multiplied in intensity.

”This is…?”

Wang Chong subconsciously turned his head, and witnessed a dumbfounding sight.

Black trickles of blood were flowing down from the giant ape's left ear. The pungent odor Wang Chong had smelled had come from this blood. Wang Chong had been focused on the battlefield the entire time, but when he turned his gaze to the giant ape's face, he suddenly realized that as this black blood dripped down, a look of pain appeared on the giant ape's face.

”!!!”

No matter how slow Wang Chong was, he realized that something was wrong now. Wang Chong swiftly turned his gaze to the other Behemoths. Just as expected, he could also see grimaces of pain on their faces.

With regards to the weakest Behemoth, the Burning One, Wang Chong had only noticed that it was still spitting its flames, but only now did Wang Chong realize that the flames had lost all accuracy. He had only failed to see this because he had not ordered the Burning One to fire at any specific target.

Besides that, he could also see that the Burning One's body was faintly trembling as if it was unable to stand steady.

Wang Chong's heart sank and his face paled. Bzzz! A bolt of Psychic Energy shot through the air, burrowing through the center of the Burning One's forehead.

”How could it be like this?!”

When he saw what was going on in the Burning One's mind, he instantly found it impossible to keep his composure. Psychic Energy experts could control the Behemoths by occupying vital channels in their brains, and Wang Chong would have remained unconcerned as long as the channels remained normal. But when Wang Chong swept his Psychic Energy through the Burning One's brain, he realized that this fire lizard was in an extremely poor state.

Although those vital channels in its brain were still normal, the rest of its brain was clearly withering away, some parts already black from necrosis.

This was what had made his heart sink like a stone.

”This shouldn't be!”
