Chapter 2139 - Wang Chong Appears! (1/2)
“Treasonous son! As a member of the imperial household, you were always meant to sacrifice yourself for the khaganate! Why are you so unwilling to accept your fate? You even invited foreign enemies in the Tang!”
Ishbara Khagan turned his head and slowly walked over to Barshad, his entire body exuding an intimidating aura as his energy locked onto his son.
At this moment, Ishbara Khagan’s expression was cold and indifferent, his fists tightly clenched. His words were cold and emotionless, as if he wasn’t talking about his own son at all.
This sort of Ishbara Khagan was completely different from the kind father that Barshad remembered.
A hint of fear finally appeared on Barshad’s face. He could sense that his father was determined to kill him.
“Imperial Father, joining the alliance is not a wise decision!”
Barshad backed away. He had always feared his father, but even so, he did not panic and still tried to argue his case.
“There’s no need to say any more. You no longer need to worry yourself about the problems of the Western Turks!” Ishbara Khagan indifferently said.
Bang!
He shot forward, instantly blasting aside all the falling snow for several hundred feet around him. At the same time, his immense energy took the form of a massive palm that shot forward with destructive energy, seeking to grab Barshad.
In front of this immense strength, Barshad was like an insignificant ant.
Just when Barshad was about to die to Ishbara Khagan’s palm, the ghastly pale Barshad finally couldn’t help but cry out, “Your Highness!”
Bang!
At the moment when the energy palm was about to impact, a green-black energy erupted from the ground, seemingly in response to Barshad’s cry, blooming into a large barrier that protected Barshad.
With a massive explosion, Ishbara Khagan’s terrifying attack slammed into the barrier and was totally stopped.
The greenish-black barrier was unbelievably tough.
“What is this?!”
Ishbara Khagan’s eyes flew open, his face scowling.
He was far too familiar with the power of his own attack, and though he knew that he had not used his full strength, it had carried with it the strength of a tsunami. Let alone that seemingly fragile barrier, he could even shatter a wall of steel with that palm.
But the barrier had been able to hold fast against the attack, appearing unshakable. Only a small number of people in the world were capable of this feat.
But this was far from over. Before Ishbara Khagan could react, boom! The ground beneath him shuddered, and a giant hand made from stone emerged from the earth and snatched at him.
Earth Element users were not rare, but this giant hand felt very different to Ishbara Khagan. Although it was formed from stone, it seemed tougher than steel, and with this single grab, it contained the power of a peak Great General.
With no time to think, Ishbara Khagan shifted away and thrust out his own palm. By moving to the side, he just barely managed to dodge this attack.
This giant hand did not continue to pursue after failing to hit its target. It froze in the air, chunks of stone dropping off it.
Whoooah!
The Western Turkic generals and Irbis Shiyun all backed away in shock and fear.
As everyone reeled in shock, a youthful voice came from above the palm.
“Ishbara, not even a fierce tiger will eat its cubs, but you, the mighty Western Turkic Khagan, would do such a thing in order to join that traitor An Yaluoshan, killing your son with your own hands! Truly despicable!”
“Who’s there? If you’ve got the guts, show yourself instead of hiding like some ghost!” a Western Turkic general called out.
“Hmph!”
As if in response to these words, a young man with long hair, wearing a violet gold crown and golden robe, slowly stood up from the palm, coldly laughing.
His expression was aloof and his eyes domineering, his hands held behind his back. Just by standing there, he exuded boundless majesty.
Compared to that young figure on the hand, all the experts present, including Wunu Shibi and Duwu Sili, were as insignificant as could be.
Strong!
Extremely strong!
Everyone nervously stared at this man as they would a powerful foe.
“It’s you!”
Before anyone else could react, Irbis Shiyun and Wunu Shibi paled.
The young figure atop the giant hand also noticed Wunu Shibi and Irbis Shiyun and softly chuckled. “Irbis Shiyun, Wunu Shibi, we meet again!”
But this simple laugh made both Irbis Shiyun and Wunu Shibi back away in panic and shock.
At this time, the only person able to maintain their calm was Ishbara Khagan.
“Just who are you?”
Ishbara Khagan narrowed his eyes and coldly stared at the youth.
As the sovereign of the Western Turkic Khaganate, Ishbara Khagan was one of the hegemons of the world, and he knew almost all the famed individuals of the world. But he had never before seen this youth, nor could he connect him to any of the famed individuals in his mind.
“Heh!”
