”Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!”
Wang Chong lunged forward, his hand opening like the talons of an eagle. At the same time, gold and red manifestations of the sun and moon emerged from his shoulders and enveloped Fumeng Lingcha.
Hwooo! A fierce gale stirred to life, and Wang Chong's body began to exert an immense pull that shook the Stellar Energy within Fumeng Lingcha and began to pull it out of his body.
”Not good!”
Fumeng Lingcha was alarmed by this sight, never imagining that Wang Chong would be so strong. Instead of waiting around, he had attacked first, and his first blow had not been holding back in the slightest.
”Wang Chong, you dare!”
Neeeigh! Fumeng Lingcha's stallion failed to hold, blood bursting from its body as it thudded to the ground.
Fumeng Lingcha paled. Wang Chong was trying to kill him!
Boom!
With no time to think, Fumeng Lingcha turned his saber around and unleashed a band of saber energy that swept toward Wang Chong as quickly as lightning.
A terrible howl like that of countless savage beasts erupted from behind Fumeng Lingcha. Light and shadow converged and space twisted, and in the blink of an eye, a massive desert appeared.
In the middle of this vast desert were countless savage monsters. These monsters were gray all over and covered in scales, and they moved with incredible agility. And above these monsters was a gigantic monster with wings, the body of a dragon, and the tail of a beast.
The Underworld Ya Elephant!
Fumeng Lingcha was a Hu and had spent more than half of his life guarding the Western Regions. The Western Regions had a culture completely different from the Central Plains. The Underworld Ya Elephant was an ancient beast spoken of in the legends of the Western Regions, the god of all beasts.
According to these legends, long ago, there was a desert here that was inhabited by countless savage sand beasts. Together with their god, the Great Ya Elephant, they guarded this desert.
It was also said that somewhere in the desert was a passage to the underworld, and that the Underworld Ya Elephant was the controller of death, the god of the underworld. Thus, in earlier times, the nobles of the Western Regions would have statues of the Underworld Ya Elephant as the guardian beasts for their graves.
(TN: The Ya, 猰, is an ancient beast first described in the 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'. There are two descriptions of it, one that it has a dragon body and a human face, and the other that it has a dragon head. In both descriptions, it is described as a man-eater.)
The art being used was derived from this legendary beast. It was one of the three ancient God Arts of the Western Regions, and the most powerful art ever learned by the generations of Protector-Generals who oversaw the Western Regions.
As Fumeng Lingcha had a poor relationship with Gao Xianzhi, the transmission of this art had come to an end, since Fumeng Lingcha had not taught it to Gao Xianzhi.
Opletely alien energy, dark and sinister.
”Hmph, finally made your move?”
Wang Chong sneered, completely unmoved by this development. His Psychic Energy was five times that of experts of the same level, and even though these two had tried their utmost to conceal their power, Wang Chong had still noticed them the moment they appeared, these 'weak' 'Qixi generals'.
”Iron Cloak Art!”
Wang Chong's dantian trembled, and his Subtle realm golden Stellar Energy immediately compressed into a golden cloak which he tossed at the black chain being thrown by the expert on the left.
”Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor!”
Wang Chong also summoned the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor from the Stone of Destiny, and in a flash of light, the noble and resplendent suit of armor stepped onto the stage once more after a long absence. But this time, Wang Chong threw it over at the black chain coming on his right.
