”Follow me!”
Huang Tianzhao waved his hand, and before the others could gather around him, he shot off like a lightning bolt into the Origin Immortal Formation.
Boom!
There was a thunderous boom as the churning Stellar Energy around Huang Tianzhao transformed into a massive brown beast. Fearsomely roaring, the beast slammed into Wang Chong's soldiers, sending several dozen Wootz Steel cavalry flying through the air.
In front of Huang Tianzhao's overwhelming strength, ordinary soldiers were nothing more than ants. Even though they had been strengthened and had the formation to scatter and distribute the power of the attack, they still could not hold out against Huang Tianzhao's terrifying attack.
”Sandstorm Heaven!”
Huang Tianzhao's body suddenly swayed, and at that moment, the massive brown beast transformed into a vast cloud of howling sand.
Boomboomboom!
One explosion rang out after another, and the eight thousand soldiers were immediately pushed to the brink.
Without Wang Chong present and the Lone Silence Ancestor needing to preside over the information, no one at the Center Gate could hold back Huang Tianzhao.
”Bastard! This audacious junior!”
The Lone Silence Ancestor's eyes turned red at this sight.
When the mountain had no tiger, the monkey would claim to be king. He wanted to enter the battle, but the Energy Condensation Pearl was too important to put aside.
”Senior, the Energy Condensation Pearl has already finished integrating itself, so Senior no longer needs to pour in Stellar Energy. Go and stop Huang Tianzhao, and leave the pearl to me!” A crisp and melodious voice came from behind him.
The Lone Silence Ancestor turned around in shock and saw seven or eight powerful middle-aged experts escorting a tender-skinned and delicate young woman toward him.
”This is…?”
The Lone Silence Ancestor was flabbergasted.
The battlefield was a man's place, and tonight in particular was a most gruesome one. He had never expected to see such a young woman suddenly appear here. More importantly, the Lone Silence Ancestor had no impression of this young woman riding toward him on her white horse.
”Lady Xu!!”
”Why are you here?”
Cries of alarm came from his side. Cheng Sanyuan stared in consternation at Xu Qiqin. Casting aside the battle, he immediately rushed over. Everyone in the residence knew of Wang Chong's relationship with Xu Qiqin. If something happened to her, Cheng Sanyuan had no idea how he would explain himself.
”Senior, this is the lady of the Xu Clan, Xu Qiqin. She is on good terms with His Highness,” Xu Keyi explained to the Lone Silence Ancestor.
The Lone Silence Ancestor immediately understood.
”There's no time. Leave Huang Tianzhao to me while you protect this Lady Xu!” the Lone Silence Ancestor sternly said.
Huang Tianzhao was one of the three Grand Marshals of the Imperial Army, and his strength was unrivaled. Not a single person on the battlefield could take a blow from him, and the forces at the Center Gate were on the verge of collapsing. Moreover, the girl was right in that the Energy Condensation Pearl had taken in enough energy and no longer needed his personal direction.
”Junior, this old man will spar with you!!”
With an explosive bellow, the Lone Silence Ancestor lunged forward, leaving behind a series of blurs in the night as he rushed at Huang Tianzhao.
As he lunged forward, mist began to seethe out of the darkness, and water began to slosh and gush out from between the stone slabs. Under the Lone Silence Ancestor's control, this water joined him in attacking Huang Tianzhao.
While the Lone Silence Ancestor was operating the formation, he had at some point drawn over the water from the moat to beneath his feet, ready at any time to be used.
Boom!
There was a tremendous explosion like the one made when the universe was first created. The water had transformed into various kinds of weapons, joined together with the Lone Silence Ancestor's terrifying Stellar Energy, and slammed into Huang Tianzhao's sandstorm of Stellar Energy.
Kaboom! With a single strike, that vast sandstorm collapsed, and behind the sand, Grand Marshal Huang Tianzhao and several dozen Imperial Army soldiers howled as they were thrown back.
”Old man, just who are you? You dare to oppose the First Prince and the Imperial Court?”
A pale-faced Huang Tianzhao held his chest as he coldly stared at the Lone Silence Ancestor. He had seen Kim U-Seok's reports, but this old man had not appeared in any of them.
”Heh, what Imperial Court? Nothing but a bunch of traitors overcome by greed. Although this old man doesn't belong to the Imperial Court, he cannot permit you to carry out this crime and cast the entire empire and all its people into calamity!”
