Chapter 1003: Clash! (2/2)

”Not good!”

The Wushang Cavalry were similarly alarmed. No one had expected Duwu Sili to abruptly attack.

But Wang Chong was not surprised at all.

Wang Chong faintly smiled as he countered.

Boom!

In a flash of light and howl of wind, the Godking Yama appeared and clashed with Duwu Sili. For a moment, the entire world seemed like it would tear apart, enormous shockwaves and explosions forcing the Wushang Cavalry and Turks to back up while covering their ears.

A cold snort could be heard amidst the fierce winds, and Wang Chong's Godking Yama could be seen standing firm in its position. Duwu Sili, on the other hand, was forced back a distance before stabilizing himself in the air.

Silence!

The battlefield was deathly still.

Everyone felt their hearts leaping into their throats. That battle had simply been too fast, ending before they had even finished reacting. When one reached the cultivation level of Wang Chong or Duwu Sili, many soldiers could only look up in fear and admiration. No one besides Wang Chong and Duwu Sili knew the exact specifics of that battle.

”This foul brat!”

As Duwu Sili sat upon his black divine steed, floating in the air, a sharp and savage killing intent flickered through his eyes. He appeared calm on the outside, but great waves were raging in his mind. He clearly understood what had transpired. Duwu Sili was one of the strongest Great Generals of the world, and this point was beyond question. Although he was still a little lacking compared to someone like the Governor of Iron and Blood Abu Muslim, he undoubtedly surpassed Wang Chong.

But this attack that had contained all his power had been firmly blocked by Wang Chong, and without the use of any technique or skill. In just a day, the Godking Yama had ascended to a whole new level of strength.

”Just what in the world happened? How did this brat's strength rise so quickly!”

Duwu Sili clenched his fists in disbelief.

In that exchange just now, he had been floating in the air using the Celestial Wolf's Divine Procession, not firmly planted on the ground like Wang Chong, so he had been in the more disadvantageous position. But there was no question that Wang Chong's strength had risen to the point where it could equal his own.

Duwu Sili found this simply unacceptable.

He could not allow some obscure junior to stand on his level!

”How was it? Duwu Sili, do you want to try again?”

As Duwu Sili tried to digest this fact, Wang Chong spoke, his expression elegant and natural. Even though he was facing a powerful Great General like Duwu Sili, he felt no fear. After absorbing all the energy of the King of Giants Ghareeb Hassam, Wang Chong had reached an astonishing level of power. He was now a true Brigadier General, one who was only a sliver away from reaching the Great General level.

One could easily imagine the power of the Godking Yama at this level of strength.

”Bastard thing, do you really think I can't kill you!”

Duwu Sili leveled his black halberd, contorting the air in a radius of several dozen zhang with torrents of killing intent. Even from a distance, he exuded an aura of dread and terror.

”Duwu Sili, I know that you've captured one of my men. Bring him out! If he's missing even a hair on his body, you know what I will do.”

Wang Chong pretended not to hear. He spoke in a flat tone to Duwu Sili, but his voice was backed by a powerful threat.

In any negotiation, strength was the most basic foundation.

Wang Chong might not have had the right to negotiate in Duwu Sili's eyes before, but in this clash, he had amply displayed his power and gained this right!

The winds blew across the battlefield as the Turks and Wushang Cavalry stared at their respective commanders. All of them understood that everything hinged on the conversation between these two commanders. There were no hostilities as of now, but a gruesome battle could ensue at any moment.

The atmosphere was tense.

”Watch his hands!” Shamask suddenly whispered. ”If something looks fishy, Milord will give us the signal. Everyone should attack as soon as the signal is received!”

”Mm.”

Chekun Benba nodded his head. Both of them stared at Duwu Sili's right palm. After serving Duwu Sili for so long, they had both come to understand Duwu Sili's unique habits. He would never issue an obvious call to attack, but would signal his orders using special hand gestures. At that moment, the Celestial Wolf Cavalry would explode forward, catching the enemy off guard.

All was quiet as Duwu Sili stared at the Great Tang youth with constantly shifting eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
