Chapter 2236 - A Villainous Mans Success! (1/2)
“Wang Chong, you don’t think I’m the same ignorant person from before, do you? I wonder, how will you hold off the attacks from both me and Venerable Genesis Supreme?”
An Lushan coldly laughed.
The earth rumbled as sharp spikes made from stone shot out of the ground toward Wang Chong.
Now that the three formations beneath the steel fortress had been broken, An Lushan’s Power of the World was no longer restrained and could permeate the area. Using the World Consciousness, he could do even more things.
But at this moment…
Bang!
On the southern face of the steel fortress, a firework shot into the air. Even though the raging cold wave extinguished the firework before it could rise more than a hundred feet into the air, it was still dazzling for those few moments.
“Go!
“Zhangchou Jianqiong, Lord Junior Guardian, lead everyone in a retreat!”
Everyone was flabbergasted as Wang Chong’s voice rang out in their ears.
An Lushan was taken aback, but he swiftly understood that Wang Chong had given the signal for his entire army to retreat.
“Go? Where are you going? Cui Qianyou, Tian Qianzhen, Tian Chengsi, hold them down!” An Lushan fiercely ordered.
“Yes!”
In a flash, the Youzhou and alliance commanders mobilized, their faces savage as they pursued the Divine Martial Army, Xuanwu Army, and the other elite armies covering the retreat.
Now that he had finally gained the advantage, he would not let Wang Chong leave so easily.
But An Lushan had underestimated the Tang elite armies. The Divine Martial Army, Xuanwu Army, Azure Martial Army, Mo Saber Unit, and Wushang Cavalry had not yet arrived when the first battle had started. With the Tongluo Cavalry, Aswaran Cataphracts, Wang Zhongsi, Zhang Shougui, Abusi, and an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Wang Chong had been able to fight equally with the alliance army. Now that all the elite armies had gathered, their power was even greater than before.
While the soldiers of these armies might not have been able to contend against ten thousand enemies each and defeat the entire alliance army, if they just wanted to retreat, not even Cui Qianyou and Tian Chengsi exerting their full might would be able to stop them.
“His Highness has given the order! Go!”
Once his Xuanwu Army had thrown the opposing alliance army into disarray, Zhao Fengchen mounted his horse and ordered his army to retreat.
Soon afterward, the Divine Martial Army, Azure Martial Army, Mo Saber Unit, and Wushang Cavalry turned around and began to ride southward.
None of them tarried, not even taking a glance back. Once Wang Chong gave his order, everyone strictly carried it out.
Following orders was a soldier’s duty, and any extraneous actions might ruin the entire plan. As elite soldiers of the Great Tang, they keenly understood this principle.
Neigh!
Horses loudly neighed, and in just a few moments, all of the elite soldiers had vanished into the inner fortress.
And this was only the beginning…
Roooar!
With a furious roar, a giant silhouette passed overhead, leaping in the direction of Wang Chong. Before its feet had even touched the ground, a giant cudgel swung at An Lushan.
“The King Ape!”
That mountainous silhouette made An Lushan grimace and hastily back away.
This King Ape didn’t have any sort of cultivation level, but its flesh was tough and it was brimming with brute strength. Fighting this beast in a melee would definitely result in a loss.
After pushing back An Lushan, the King Ape swung its cudgel upward, joining Wang Chong in attacking Genesis Supreme in the sky.
“Beast!”
Genesis Supreme slightly frowned. He didn’t fear the King Ape, but being attacked from both sides made one rather passive, and he couldn’t help but back up a little to avoid the cudgel.
Though the swing had missed, the King Ape continued with its frenzied assault.
Bang!
The King Ape swung its cudgel, instantly turning numerous alliance soldiers that had climbed onto the walls into pulped flesh.
The King Ape stomped, pulverizing a large number of alliance soldiers that had charged in through the gap.
An Lushan and the Youzhou commanders grimaced. Though the King Ape didn’t represent a lethal threat to An Lushan and Genesis Supreme, if they just let it be, it had more than enough strength to inflict devastating losses on the alliance army.
And while Genesis Supreme hadn’t cared about it at first, when he saw the King Ape’s terrifying power, his expression sank.
The Celestial God Organization had always regarded itself as a heavenly court, and as one of the supreme leaders of this organization, he could not allow the King Ape to further flaunt its strength, as it would damage his dignity.
