”Not good!”
Without any time to think, the Wushang Village Chief paled as he shot into the air, the white cane in his hand raising up to strike the dazzling golden Sword Qi.
”Dragons Without a Leader!”
Whoosh! A mighty windstorm instantly roared to life as tens of thousands of dragons suddenly appeared in the air. All of these dragons had appeared around the Wushang Village Chief, circling around his white cane.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, the dragons went from illusion to reality, surging together toward Qutaybah's massive beam of golden Sword Qi. The tens of thousands of dragons collided against the Sword Qi, each impact creating a metallic boom as if that intangible Sword Qi was actually made of steel.
Qutaybah's golden Sword Qi swiftly lost its luster under the impact of the dragons.
But a moment later, at the crucial moment in this clash between dragons and Sword Qi, the Wushang Village Chief suddenly shivered and he suddenly became incapable of sending any more Stellar Energy. Vomiting blood, he could no longer keep up the attack, and the dragons scattered, allowing the descending Sword Qi to knock him away.
”Village Chief!”
”Venerable Senior!”
Cries of alarm came from all around as everyone grimaced. Countless Wushang Cavalry went ghastly pale as they rushed to the Wushang Village Chief. But no matter how fast anyone could react, none of them could be faster than Qutaybah's Sword Qi.
Without the Wushang Village Chief to stop it, the remaining energy of that magnificent attack descended toward the Divine Martial Army, Divine Prison Army, Dragon Stallion Army, Roaring Tiger Army…
Even after it had been severely weakened by the Wushang Village Chief, this attack was still not something the elite Tang soldiers could stop.
Boom!
But just when Qutaybah's attack was about to land, a large steely fist, black as ink and as large as a mountain, suddenly shot forward, scattering the remnants of the attack with a single punch. The black-armored guard stood in the fierce winds like a demonic god, his right hand holding the banner while his left fist slowly drew back. He stared at the distant Qutaybah, his eyes cold as ice.
Hwoooo! The gusts swept up the sand from the rear and caused the black and red Nine Dragon Blood War Banner to flap. The battle finally began to calm down, both sides slowing the pace of their assault.
”Village Chief!”
The Wushang Cavalry used this opportunity to rush over, with even Cui Piaoqi among them, all of them tightly encircling the Wushang Village Chief. The Wushang Village Chief had an extremely high status in the village. He had watched many of the Wushang Cavalry mature from children into adults and regarded their fathers as his nephews.
One could easily imagine how disordered their minds had become when the village chief had been injured.
”I'm fine. Don't panic!”
The Wushang Village Chief held a hand to his chest. His snow-white beard was speckled with blood and his dried-up lips were crimson, but his eyes were always looking outward as if facing down a mighty foe.
The Demonic Emperor Old Man had already been suppressed by that mysterious artifact, but Qutaybah was still here. They were now in an extremely disadvantageous position and were liable to be wiped out at any moment.
The black-armored guard and the village chief stood in a distant stand-off with Qutaybah, their eyes solemn.
The air was saturated with tension!
”Hmph! One of you has internal injuries while the other is relying on the strength of a war banner. None of you have truly touched upon that realm. The two of you are simply no match for me!”
Bang! The air resonated as Qutaybah stomped forward, his cape flapping in the wind and his eyes glowing with contempt.
With one strike, Qutaybah had wounded the Wushang Village Chief and drawn out the black-armored guard, but this had not even been his full strength. Without the Demonic Emperor Old Man to stop him, there was no one left on the battlefield that could fight him for a prolonged period of time.
Boom!
The world quaked as Qutaybah suddenly took another step forward. His body swelled with vast golden light, making him appear like a god that had descended to the battlefield, inspiring dread and respect in all.
All the cavalry, infantry, and generals were like ants before this vast storm of energy.
Step by step, Qutaybah strode through the air, approaching the Great Tang's Nine Dragon Blood War Banner like a storm, the air seeming like solid ground beneath his feet. As Qutaybah got closer and closer, the Wushang Village Chief, the black-armored guard, Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Zhao Fengchen, Su Hanshan, and all the Tang soldiers felt a tremendous pressure.
This was what it truly meant to be strong!
This was the greatest threat to the Tang army!
