Chapter 1110: Counterattack! The Black-Armored Guard! (1/2)

Neeeigh!

In the distance, Wang Chong had been preparing to engage in a fierce battle with Aybak, but at this moment, he suddenly turned around and began to charge toward the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner.

Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and the Wushang Village Chief all did their utmost to try and stop Osman. But all their actions at this point were too late. No matter what they did, it would be of no help to the situation.

At this point, the atmosphere on the battlefield was maximally saturated with tension.

But just when it seemed like the black-armored guard was about to die to Osman's attack…

”Barbarian of the Western Regions, you overestimate your strength!”

Just when Osman believed that he had firmly grasped victory, a deep voice devoid of emotion resounded in his ear. The black-armored guard had been motionless this entire time.

But at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Osman.

Instantly, Osman felt an indescribable feeling. At Osman's level of cultivation, no one should have had enough time to raise their head when being attacked from such short range.

This is impossible! Osman mentally roared.

A moment later, he felt an intense danger.

Bang!

At this moment, a palm shot forward in a flash of light.

This palm immediately shattered Osman's black torrent and thrust into his chest. This energy was so enormous that Osman felt like the entire world had lost its color. All living beings in the world appeared insignificant in front of this palm.

Kacrack!

Time seemed to slow down to a crawl as Osman heard a crisp crack from his chest.

The 'Nile Battle Armor', which he had spent a great deal of effort and resources, as well as made countless promises, to finally obtain from a member of the imperial household, instantly splintered into pieces. This armor that even the three Great Generals of the Sassanid Dynasty had failed to break had been shattered by a single palm from this black-armored guard.

Plush!

Osman's entire body trembled as he vomited blood. And then an unstoppable power as vast as the seas sent him flying outward and into the ground.

Boom! The ground seemed to be made of paper from how easily it cracked, sank, and exploded, sending large slabs of stone flying into the air from the force of Osman's impact. Before these slabs of stone could get very far, they exploded in the air once more into hundreds of thousands of tiny stones.

As the dust settled, everyone could clearly see the blood-drenched figure of Osman, surrounded by shattered pieces of his armor.

Plush! As Osman got off the ground, his body trembled again and he vomited more blood. His hard and determined face instantly became as white as a sheet of paper.

”!!!”

Shock!

Everyone who saw this sight was shocked until they couldn't be shocked anymore. That black-armored guard in the center of the formation who hadn't seemed very strong had actually managed to heavily wound Osman with a single palm. Everyone felt like their world had been completely turned upside down.

”This is impossible!”

At this moment, no one was more stunned than Abu Muslim. His fingers were clenched so hard together that the bones were about to break.

As Osman's comrade-in-arms, Abu Muslim had a keen understanding of his strength. He didn't even dare to believe that Osman had been heavily injured by a single palm.

Dalun Ruozan was just as stunned. His heart was a block of ice, and it felt like he had been the one that had been sent flying, not Osman.

”An Imperial Great General! They actually sent an Imperial Great General to serve as the banner holder for the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner!”

Dalun Ruozan's lips trembled, his mind in complete disorder.

Qutaybah had fought against the mysterious old man, Abu Muslim had lured away Gao Xianzhi, Ziyad had lured away Cheng Qianli, Huoshu Huicang had lured away Wang Yan… In the end, Governor Osman went alone to slay the banner holder and break the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner. Everything had gone according to Dalun Ruozan's plan.

But he had never expected the black-armored guard holding the banner to be a variable on his own. This unremarkable banner holder had turned out to be even stronger than the Governor of Cairo.

Deathly stillness! At this moment, the entire battlefield had fallen silent!

Everyone had been left speechless by their shock. Even Wang Chong was dumbstruck, let alone anyone else.

”Hand over your life!”

A voice broke the silence.

The only one who wasn't shocked by this result was probably the black-armored guard himself.

Boom! The guard stepped forward, his eyes locked onto Osman. But before the black-armored guard could strike, boom! Osman's body swelled with bloody light. The black-armored guard squinted as he prepared to receive Osman's counterattack, but things turned out very differently from what he had expected.

”Just who are you? Go!”
