Chapter 585: The Decisive Battle! Threat! (2/2)
No such undertaking had ever appeared before in the capital. No one had ever attempted such a thing.
One could say that the price of these modular metal walls was far more expensive than the ordinary person could imagine. This was an incredibly costly venture, but Wang Chong did not have the manpower to alter the course of this war, so he could only use wealth.
If Tumi Sangzha wanted to deal with Wang Chong by transforming all these metal walls into his desired metal army, he would first have to overcome the countless toughening inscriptions within the walls.
Although someone with Tumi Sangzha's abilities could definitely do this, it was impossible for him to do it without paying a price!
Buzz!
Space seemed to blur as Tumi Sangzha's halo continued to expand. The steel walls on the base of the mountain seemed to come to life, twisting and deforming. This time, Tumi Sangzha's Halo of Black Iron covered more than ten of these steel walls.
If he succeeded, not only would ten more undying steel giants of boundless strength appear on the mountain, a massive gap would be torn through the defenses of the Annan Protectorate army.
But in the next moment, Tumi Sangzha suddenly paled as if he had suffered some heavy blow, his forehead suddenly covered in sweat. Those steel walls to his left and right which had seemed on the verge of transforming suddenly returned to normal, as if the connection between them and Tumi Sangzha had been cut off.
The transformation of these walls into giants had been halted!
Although Tumi Sangzha was very far away and the massive fireballs were still plummeting out of the heavens, Chen Shusun was able to quickly notice that Tumi Sangzha had paled and fiercely turned his head to the summit. Wang Chong truly had been correct.
”He truly couldn't transform them!”
Stunned, Chen Shusun suddenly understood.
”Not even a Great General of Huoshu Huicang's level could be guaranteed to transform all the steel walls I brought into metal men, let alone this foreign general. Given his abilities, four metal giants is his absolute limit. Any further attempts to summon a metal giant will consume a massive amount of Stellar Energy… If an expert on his level wants to do that, then I welcome it with open arms!” Wang Chong said with a chuckle.
Before the imposing War Saint, no one could do things so easily. Not even Dalun Ruozan could have it easy, so why these foreign generals? Battles were fought step by step. If Ü-Tsang and Mengshe Zhao hoped to use this method to defeat him, then they hoped in vain.
On the other side, Tumi Sangzha had clearly understood this principle and swiftly altered his plans.
Rooaaar!
With a furious bellow, the pitch-black halo under Tumi Sangzha's feet began to explode outward. All the metal men currently engaged in furious battle on the front lines were suddenly magnetically attracted to him, flying through the air to attach to his body.
Clangclangclang! Countless metal men along with the metal grains rising from deep underground began to attach to Tumi Sangzha, all of them quickly fusing together into a thick suit of armor that completely enclosed him.
Tumi Sangzha's body continued to grow taller and taller, and he was quickly replaced with a metal giant, ten-some zhang tall, appearing like some demonic god.
Dust plumed around him as a powerful aura rose from the giant's body.
”Where, where, where did this fellow come from! Isn't he too powerful?”
”Not even Jiaosiluo was this powerful, right?”
”The Tibetans still had a powerful expert like this!”
……
At this moment, the most shocked were the soldiers of Mengshe Zhao. After fighting together with Ü-Tsang for several months, they had grown very familiar with Huoshu Huicang's Five Tiger Generals.
As for the person before them… although they had run into him once or twice, it was generally the Five Tiger Generals leading the charge into enemy ranks. They truly had no impression of this valiant general.
A voice came from behind Fengjiayi as Mengshe Zhao's Great General Duan Gequan chose this moment to speak. ”Of the Five Element halos, the Metal element has the fewest people possessing the talent to cultivate it, as it is the most difficult, with a chance of success far smaller than the other elements. This Tibetan can already use the Halo of Black Iron to this level, meaning that he's already reached or is close to reaching the even higher Halo of Bronze. Using it requires putting in one's heart and soul. Through the method used by this general, in terms of defense, he's already surpassed Jiaosiluo.
”Your Highness Crown Prince, you cultivate the same kind of metal halo. You must pay attention to this person's every action. Learn from him. It might be of great assistance to you.”
”Jiayi understands. Many thanks to Great General for this advice,” Fengjiayi earnestly replied.
Fengjiayi had always treated this Great General who had always stood in his father's shadow with the utmost respect.
Silence quickly settled in around him.
Everyone, both Mengshe Zhao and Tibetan, was focused on Tumi Sangzha. All of them had to admit that this strength displayed by this tribal warrior far surpassed their initial expectations.
