Buzz!
Qutaybah had originally been focused on the retreating Tang army, but the moment Wang Chong attacked, he immediately grimaced and turned his head. His disdainful eyes instantly became solemn and grim.
The Great Destruction Art!
This was the highest level of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. In a great war, the Demonic Emperor Old Man had once relied on this move to kill dozens of powerhouses of the righteous and evil factions and slaughter more than a thousand experts belonging to various sects. Through this feat, the Demonic Emperor Old Man had firmly established his supreme status in the world of martial arts and gained the title of 'Demonic Emperor'.
This move could tear apart space and draw out the purest destructive energy from the depths of the void to attack an opponent. Even someone as strong as Qutaybah would need to confront this attack with all the attention he could muster.
Bzzz! With an enormous clang, the beam of golden Sword Qi that had been aimed at the retreating Tang army suddenly turned and slashed at Wang Chong.
These two beams of Sword Qi originally aimed in different directions now fused together, becoming even sharper, stronger, and more dazzling than before.
Boom!
These two different kinds of destructive energy, both incredibly pure, collided in the air.
Everyone could see two points of light emerge in the darkness, which instantly expanded into a blazing golden sun and a red full moon.
These were more real than any illusion of the sun or moon that Wang Chong had ever produced before. On this blazing sun, one could see the surging corona, and the surface of the full moon was uneven and pockmarked with craters. Wang Chong had created them by fusing the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art with his understanding of the psychic domain.
In this clash of energies, Wang Chong was admittedly still thrown back, but the powerful attack that was the fusion of two of Qutaybah's beams of Sword Qi was also completely shattered by Wang Chong's Great Destruction Art. Even the immovable figure of Qutaybah slightly quivered.
As Qutaybah watched Wang Chong being thrown back, he grimaced.
When Qutaybah had first appeared on the battlefield and run into Wang Chong, Wang Chong had posed no threat to him whatsoever. Not even Wang Chong working together with Gao Xianzhi, Wang Yan, and Cheng Qianli could contend against him. But now, not only had Wang Chong managed to receive his full-strength blow, he had even caused Qutaybah's shoulders to tremble. This instilled Qutaybah with an unprecedented desire to kill.
Just as Qutaybah was clenching his fists and preparing to attack again, he suddenly heard a voice.
”Chong-er, your master has come to help you!”
Before he could react, the Demonic Emperor Old Man shot forward like a black bolt of lightning, intervening in the battle between Wang Chong and Qutaybah.
”It's you!”
The familiar figure caused Qutaybah to grimace once more, a clear look of apprehension on his face.
Boom! In the blink of an eye, the Demonic Emperor Old Man's Stellar Energy exploded toward Qutaybah. At almost the same moment, a great banner waved. The black-armored guard, suppressing his energies, gripped the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner and threw his stalwart body back into the fray.
”Master, watch out!”
A second later, Wang Chong exploded forward in alarm, and the three joined hands and began to fiercely battle with Qutaybah.
Even though Qutaybah was the number one expert of Arabia and practically unstoppable, he immediately had to put all his focus into dealing with his three attackers, the combined assault of three Great Generals.
Now that Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the black-armored guard were working together, the Tang armies felt the pressure on them as they retreated greatly diminish.
”Forget about them! The three of them are all practically spent! Qutaybah has enough strength to deal with them! Don't let the Tang soldiers retreat. Kill them all and we will be the true victors of this battle!”
Winds howled over the chaotic battlefield. Aybak's gaze paused on Wang Chong for only a few moments before he began to pursue the retreating Tang army.
Hearing Aybak's words, Huoshu Huicang and Ziyad began to follow him without a second thought, charging toward the fleeing Tang.
The Great Tang didn't have many soldiers left, and other than the ballista soldiers, the remaining soldiers were all elites. If they were allowed to return to the Western Regions, they would be able to stir up an endless amount of trouble.
And as long as they killed all the Tang soldiers, it didn't matter how tenaciously Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the black-armored guard struggled.
An army without soldiers was no real army, and if all the Tang soldiers were killed and only the commanders like Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi were left, they would be unable to escape and eventually meet their deaths.
”Watch out! The Arabs are pursuing!”
