Booom! Everyone felt as if the lofty and imposing city of Talas had suddenly shaken, and they could sense an enormous surge of energy. This energy was so vast that it seemed like the boundless ocean, enough to make any martial artist feel insignificant. Even an existence as powerful as Qutaybah would instantly feel like an ant.
”This is…!”
Abu Muslim, Aybak, Ziyad, and Huoshu Huicang were aghast at the surge of energy rising from beneath Talas. Even Qutaybah's magnificent beam of Sword Qi slowed down for a moment.
”This is… the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation!”
In the distance, Dalun Ruozan's eyes flew open.
There was only one thing under Talas that had this level of energy: the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation that had allowed Talas to stand for hundreds of years. But this energy was extremely stable, so it was normally impossible to sense its flow. It was extremely unusual for it to madly surge like this.
”These bastards! What are they trying to do!”
Dalun Ruozan's mind was instantly fraught with unease, and as if in response to his worries, the earth droned, the shaking rising to an even more intense level.
This enormous energy arising from the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation beneath Talas rapidly began to flow along some sort of special pathway, surging beneath the earth to reach the feet of Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man, resonating with the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner.
In a flash, the auras of Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, the black-armored guard, and Gao Xianzhi began to swell, and all of their energies fused together into an enormous formation.
And the core of this formation was not the black-armored guard and his Nine Dragon Blood War Banner, but Wang Chong, standing across from Qutaybah.
”Not good! Kill him!”
With a heaven-shaking bellow, Abu Muslim immediately attacked Wang Chong. At almost the same moment, Aybak, Huoshu Huicang, and Ziyad also attacked, their expressions brimming with concern.
No one knew what the Tang were up to, but they had definitely done something to the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation. There was no doubt that all of this had been planned out. Wang Chong and the Tang remnants were not actually planning to retreat to the Western Regions. All of this, the flight and the orders to abandon Talas, was to fool them and draw them toward this place.
”Abu Muslim, Qutaybah, you've finally realized it? Alas, it's too late!”
Wang Chong's voice resounded in their ears, and then his strength began to swell. Through the power of the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner, Wang Chong was able to absorb the energy of the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, Gao Xianzhi, the black-armored guard, and all the energy within the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation deep below Talas. This energy was so dense that it was almost tangible, pouring into his body through every pore in a frenzied torrent.
Wang Chong had never interacted with such a massive energy source before, and this energy pushed his cultivation level to new and inconceivable heights.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art rumbled in his body, and the illusions of the sun and moon reached an absurd level of realism. Under the light of the sun and moon, Wang Chong's strength rose by leaps and bounds. In the blink of an eye, he had surpassed not only Abu Muslim, but also the Arab War God Qutaybah.
Buzz!
Qutaybah's pupils constricted, a look of extreme apprehension crossing his face.
No one knew how Wang Chong and the others had done it.
The Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation that had silently lurked beneath Talas for hundreds of years was actually being used in a battle.
Qutaybah was strong, but he was not so strong that he could singlehandedly fight against the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation.
”Seeking death!”
Qutaybah's face chilled, and 'God's Might' suddenly shot out from his hand, traveling together with a magnificent beam of Sword Qi toward Wang Chong’s head, moving much faster than Abu Muslim's and Aybak's attacks.
