But at this moment…
Bang!
A blazing red sun as massive as a mountain suddenly appeared, instantly crashing toward the Ifrit's head the moment it manifested. The terrifying force of this sudden assault sent fire bursting out from the Ifrit's head and its feet staggering backward.
Awooooo!
The Ifrit howled in pain for the first time since its appearance.
”Wang Zhongsi, Zhangchou Jianqiong, An Sishun… hurry and help me!”
Wang Chong's resounding voice was ice-cold as it rang out in everyone's ears. What had happened just now left everyone shocked. Even the Arabs had done their best to avoid the Ifrit. Only Wang Chong had remained calm and composed throughout and begun to take countermeasures.
Awooo!
There was another howl as Wang Chong took control of another Behemoth, this one in the form of a water buffalo, making it raise its hooves and charge at the Ifrit.
If the Ifrit did not die, all of the Great Tang's soldiers in the northwest would die!
The water buffalo Behemoth bellowed as it crashed against the Behemoth's body. Immediately afterward, Wang Chong seized control of a second Behemoth, and then a third, a fourth… When defeating the High Priest, Wang Chong had devoured his 'Forbidden Art Sea', so he had naturally obtained the knowledge within.
As time passed, Wang Chong digested more and more of this knowledge, so he was able to more quickly take control of the Behemoths.
”Hurry! Go!”
”Ordinary attacks are no good, but Stellar Energy still has an effect!”
With no further hesitation, Wang Zhongsi, Zhangchou Jianqiong, and Gao Xianzhi shot into the air toward the Ifrit. When Wang Chong had attacked earlier, all of them had been able to see that while the sun created through the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had not been able to kill the Ifrit, its aura had slightly dimmed upon taking Wang Chong's Subtle realm attack.
This was completely different from the attacks of the giant ballistae.
While this Ifrit didn't have a physical body, it still had weaknesses, could still be defeated.
This discovery was a shot in the arm for the entire army!
Boomboomboom!
Neither Wang Zhongsi nor Zhangchou Jianqiong was an ordinary expert. They were the finest commanders of the Great Tang, possessing top-class strength. In the blink of an eye, the Great Generals had appeared around the Ifrit.
Furious roars continued to be heard as waves of energy pummeled the Ifrit in the center of the battlefield. At the same time, waves of heat swept outward, scorching the very air itself.
If they were fighting individually, Zhangchou Jianqiong or any of the others would have never been a match for the Ifrit, but as Wang Chong was holding down the front, the rest of them felt less pressure.
”It's effective!”
As the balls of Stellar Energy exploded on the Ifrit, it was clear that it was getting weaker. Exhilarated, Gao Xianzhi and the others redoubled their assault.
Bwoooom!
As five of the Great Tang's major leaders attacked the Behemoth, the blare of a horn came from the rear of the Arab army, a lingering and ancient sound. Countless Arab generals turned and saw icy-faced Khatabah swing down his arm from atop the elephant Behemoth.
”Haha, it's not that easy to retreat in one piece!”
Adnan coldly laughed as he turned back around, immediately understanding what the Hierophant wanted.
”All soldiers, attack! Don't let them run!”
Adnan immediately urged his horse into a gallop and charged off in pursuit of the retreating Tang army.
They first retreated so that the Ifrit could hold down the leaders of the Tang army, and then they would attack again. Without the five commanders, the Great Tang would be powerless to stop them.
”Kiiill!”
The air instantly resounded with war cries as the Arab cavalry transformed into a flood of steel and killing intent, rushing at the Tang army with a mountain-toppling momentum.
They had all seen the power of the Ifrit. With this ally on their side, the Great Tang was no match.
”Careful!”
”Shield soldiers to the front and spearmen behind! Defensive formation!”
”Enemy attack! Man the defense line!”
As the Arab army surged forward, the Tang soldiers instantly grimaced. More than half of the defense line had been lost under the attacks of the Ifrit and its fire men, and the Ifrit was on the verge of punching a hole straight through it.
Without the steel defense line, stopping the cavalry charge was impossible.
More importantly, in the current situation, there was no way they could outrun the cavalry.
