The Demonic Emperor Old Man had been the hegemon of a generation, the supreme expert of the martial arts world, so even though his dantian had been shattered, making it impossible for him to cultivate the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, he knew all the traits and moves of this technique like the back of his hand. The Stellar Energy Wang Chong transferred to him immediately allowed him to suppress his injuries and refill the many pore dantians around his body. In a flash, a ruddy tone was restored to the Demonic Emperor Old Man's face. Although it was far more complicated to completely heal his wounds, he at least had the ability to fight another battle.
”Chong-er, the situation is bad! Qutaybah is recovering much faster than we expected. If this continues, it will only be a little while until we lose all ability to oppose him.”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man's robes flapped in the wind as he stared in deep concern at Qutaybah. Qutaybah was also in poor condition, trickles of blood leaking out from his blood-stained golden armor. But his aura was still stable and growing stronger. Wang Chong and the Demonic Emperor Old Man's attacks had weakened his ability to absorb the Subtle energy from that higher dimension, but they could not completely cut it off.
And even more unfortunately, while the pair could stop Qutaybah from absorbing that energy, they could not stop him from comprehending it. As time went on, Qutaybah had managed to quickly grasp the energy of the Subtle realm and even comprehend a few new moves.
This was what truly worried the Demonic Emperor Old Man.
”Abu Muslim, Ziyad, Huoshu Huicang—all of you come here!”
In the air, Qutaybah stared at the Demonic Emperor Old Man and his growing power, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. A greatly weakened Demonic Emperor Old Man was nothing to Qutaybah, but now that the Demonic Emperor Old Man was recovering his strength, Qutaybah felt once more like there was a dagger at his back.
This time, Qutaybah had surprisingly chosen not to attack.
”Qutaybah, what do you need us to do?”
Several figures of vigorous aura appeared behind Qutaybah. Abu Muslim, Ziyad, and Huoshu Huicang had all arrived.
Qutaybah's face was cold and hard, and he continued to stare forward as he ordered, ”Give all your energy to me!”
”!!!”
The three of them were all stunned by Qutaybah's request. On this fierce battlefield, the Tang could attack at any moment. If their strength dropped too much, they might not even have the power to protect themselves.
”There's no time! These Tang have found a way to disrupt my ability to absorb that energy. If this continues, I will find it very difficult to grasp that new type of energy. Give your energy to me, and I will kill them all!”
Killing intent erupted from Qutaybah's eyes.
He was already sick of this game of cat and mouse. He would kill that young Tang commander and the mysterious eastern elder in a single strike.
Abu Muslim said nothing, but countless thoughts were flitting through his eyes. He quickly made his decision.
”I understand! Ziyad, let us give our energy to him!” Abu Muslim sternly ordered.
This was the only choice available in the current situation. The Great Tang's use of the Myriad Rakshasa Earthen Stronghold Formation against them had completely broken the balance. Abu Muslim, Ziyad, and Huoshu Huicang had lost the ability to threaten the Great Tang.
The only person capable of intimidating the Tang was Qutaybah. If not for him standing at the forefront and warding off the Great Tang's edge, Arabia and Ü-Tsang would have been defeated long ago. Passing their energy to him was the only thing they could do at this time.
Bang!
Abu Muslim clapped his hand onto Qutaybah's shoulder, and a surge of black energy began to rush into Qutaybah. At almost the same time, another arm extended forward and also pressed onto Qutaybah. Ziyad had made the same choice, sending his energy without hesitation.
Huoshu Huicang, standing a little farther back, didn't understand Arabic, but he could see what was going on from the actions of the other two. Thump! Huoshu Huicang stepped forward and extended his own arm. The three Great Generals had all made the choice to transfer their energy to Qutaybah. Through this method, the three of them had placed all their hopes for defeating the Great Tang onto Qutaybah.
If not even Qutaybah could defeat the Great Tang, the three of them truly couldn't think of anybody else that could!
