Rumble!
There was a massive boom as Wang Chong and Wang Yan went flying off in separate directions.
Crash! Wang Chong landed around one hundred feet away, causing debris to spray everywhere like sharp knives as the ground collapsed into an enormous pit.
On the other side, Wang Yan also struck the ground. Thumpthumpthump! He staggered back several steps, his face extremely pale.
”Chong-er!”
Wang Yan gave a heart-wrenching cry as he stared at where Wang Chong had fallen, his voice hoarse and scratchy.
”Wang Chong!”
In the distance, Cheng Qianli trembled at what he had seen, his face instantly paling.
The plans of their enemies had been intricately linked together. They had first 'crippled' him and Wang Yan, and then they had chosen to make Wang Chong's father the target of their attacks. They knew that Wang Yan's connection with Wang Chong would unsettle Wang Chong's mind and cause him to be gravely injured. The entire situation had been meticulously planned, and in just a few seconds, the Great Tang was in an awful state.
”Hmph, rather than worry about them, it's better that you think about your own safety first!”
An icy voice resounded in Cheng Qianli's ear, and suddenly, a massive metal ring the color of the ocean rushed toward him with a destructive momentum.
”Ah!”
Cheng Qianli screamed as he was thrown into the sky and fell back to the earth.
With this one strike, Cheng Qianli was heavily injured. He no longer had the support of the formation, so Cheng Qianli was simply a peak Brigadier General that was incapable of contending against Ziyad.
But after this success, Ziyad did not press the attack, treating Cheng Qianli as if he had never seen him before.
A moment later, his body swayed as he shot toward the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner.
”Careful!”
”Protect the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner!”
”Everyone, gather together and stop them!”
Tension was rife on the first defense line, as Ziyad's actions were loud and clear. While they had aimed at Wang Yan and Cheng Qianli at the start, it had all still been for the sake of attacking the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner.
The Great Tang had always been lacking in soldiers, and now Wang Yan and Cheng Qianli were injured. If the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner were destroyed, the Tang army at Talas would be completely lost.
”Kill them!”
As Ziyad charged over, Aybak, Huoshu Huicang (who had just shaken off the mental attack), and Dusong Mangpoje immediately began to charge at the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner as well.
Four Great Generals were attacking in unison. The air was saturated with tension.
Although the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner was powerful and was being guarded by the Great-General-level black-armored guard, the danger of the situation was several times greater than it had been with Osman.
Four Great Generals could not be underestimated. No one knew if the black-armored guard would be able to hold on, but if the banner were destroyed, the battlefield would usher in its greatest shift.
Buzz!
As if sensing the danger, the black-armored guard tightened his grip on the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner, his expression turning grave.
Roooar!
There was a shrill roar like the wailing and weeping of thousands of ghosts. The first to strike was not Ziyad, but Wang Chong's original opponent, Aybak.
He did not make any attempt to further injure Wang Chong, instead rushing straight at the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner.
In an explosion of light, a massive black skeleton emerged from the void and lunged at the nearby Divine Prison Army.
In front of Aybak's full-power attack, even a top-class army like the Divine Prison Army further bolstered by nine halos was insignificant.
Just when it seemed like the thousand-some Divine Prison Army soldiers were about to sustain heavy casualties…
Bzzzzz! A powerful bolt of white energy, as tough as steel and as sharp as a saber, suddenly shot out from an angle and shattered the black skeleton in a single blow. The rest of the energy continued onward, striking Aybak and forcing the renowned commander of the Mamelukes back several steps.
Aybak instantly grimaced.
”Blue-eyed boy! You're acting too impudently!”
The Wushang Village Chief's furious voice resounded in his ear. At this dangerous moment, the Wushang Village Chief had immediately acted. After forcing back Aybak, he immediately swung down his hand, condensing the surrounding energy into a massive blue hand that howled through the air.
