Rumble!
It was impossible to describe the sound created by the collision of the two elite armies. The entire world trembled, and even the heavy walls of the steel fortress quaked.
The Youzhou cavalry was charging at full speed, heedless and fearless. On the other side, the forty thousand Tang soldiers had all raised their swords into the air.
The Tang soldiers apparently had no intention of defending against the terrifying charge, but to return offensive with offense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening collisions rang out. One of the Tang heavy infantry was struck by the hoof of a horse, the enormous force instantly crushing his armor. Blood gushed out as the man flew more than one hundred feet before crashing into even more Tang infantry.
The inherent power of a cavalry charge further boosted by war halos and the strength of the Underworld Cavalry had created an overwhelming power that not even these heavy infantry could withstand.
Before that heavy infantryman had even hit the ground, his Stellar Energy had been shattered, his bones pulverized, his organs pulped!
The same happened for thousands of other soldiers. The power of the Underworld Cavalry was truly stunning.
But at the same time, the forty thousand Tang heavy infantry exhibited their own prodigious strength!
The charge of the Underworld Cavalry truly was formidable, but this did not mean that they could go without paying a price.
Bang!
At the moment of collision, a burly heavy infantryman exhibited absurd agility to dodge a fatal strike. At the same time, he cut down with his raised sword, a clean and powerful stroke that instantly killed the Underworld Cavalry rider and the armored horse under him!
One strong man could defeat ten skilled fighters!
At a certain level of strength, one no longer needed to rely on too many techniques!
Rumble!
Breeee!
Though the Underworld Cavalry rider and his horse had both been cleaved apart, their inertia carried them forward another one hundred feet before they exploded in a gory cloud of blood.
One rider, two riders, three riders…
In terms of training soldiers, how could Wang Chong be lacking compared to Youzhou and An Lushan?
In a few short moments, thousands of Underworld Cavalry were cleaved in half by the Tang heavy infantry, killed on the spot!
This charge had been far more gruesome than anyone could have imagined. Both Wang Chong’s heavy infantry and Youzhou’s Underworld Cavalry paid an enormous price.
But for these elite soldiers, this was a meager price, because the battle continued!
This time, however, it was not a contest between individuals. It was a clash of battle formations.
Roooar!
Above the Underworld Cavalry, the vision of the underworld appeared once more, larger and clearer, the wailing of tens of thousands of ghosts even more distinct. Anyone who heard these wails would see mountains of corpses and seas of blood appear before them, a somber air buffeting their faces. It was as if the countless skeletons in the underworld had come to life and were crawling out of the ground.
Empowered by the Underworld Formation, the tens of thousands of Underworld Cavalry divided into teams of five hundred, which were like the teeth of a saw that callously annihilated their foes.
With the Underworld Formation, the Youzhou army became like a mountain of blades, a reaper of life, a herald of death.
This was the Underworld Cavalry’s first time on the world stage, but their frightening strength could leave any faction stunned and frightened.
On the other side, the forty thousand heavy infantry also soared in strength.
Rumble!
Above the infantry, the bloody mist mixed with black flames, and in the center of the flames and mist was a giant, black-red millstone. This millstone had a diameter of several thousand feet and ceaselessly turned as if it wanted to crush all things.
Behind this giant millstone was a massive, arched gate. Ancient and unrecognizable black-red characters had been carved all over the two sides of the gate, and the howls of demons and ghosts came from within.
The gate of hell!
This was the final stop for all living beings.
The hellish millstone that had appeared above the forty thousand Tang soldiers was brimming with the stench of death, even worse than the vision of the underworld in some aspects.
One was the underworld!
