”Haha, Abu Muslim, it's pointless. Even Qutaybah was killed. Do you really think you have the ability to exchange blows with me!”
With a single thought from Wang Chong, the air for hundreds of feet around him was thrown into turmoil, all the air raging and churning under Wang Chong's control. Wang Chong's body also exploded with an immense suction power. By aiming at the thick walls of Khorasan, Wang Chong was able to pull himself back up the wall.
”Great Destruction Art!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong used the strongest move of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. The entire world seemed to become deathly still, and all light began to distort. From a distance, the walls of Khorasan seemed to have been plunged into darkness, and deep within this darkness was a most dreadful destructive energy.
”Not good!”
With a loud bellow, Abu Muslim and Ziyad both trembled, looks of extreme shock on their faces.
”Ocean Ring!”
”Asmodai's Fury!”
Enraged and dismayed, both of them used their strongest moves.
Rumble!
Three torrents of energy collided in the air, and then there was a mighty explosion. ”Aaah!” Ziyad and Abu Muslim were both flung back, screaming. Meanwhile, Wang Chong flew up, flipping in the air before smoothly landing on the walls.
Thudthudthud! The enormous power of the attack forced Abu Muslim to take six or seven steps back before he finally succeeded in stabilizing himself.
Nearby, Ziyad's chest trembled and he vomited blood. He raised his face and stared at Wang Chong as if a demon god had descended, his eyes tinged with despair. He knew that Wang Chong was strong, but not this strong. The two of them together were simply no match for him.
”How could this be? How could a single person become this strong in such a short amount of time! There's no one else like this Tang who can advance in power so quickly!”
Ziyad could feel pain in every part of his body, and his eyes were ashen and lifeless. Everyone needed many months and years to advance from the basic level of Great General to the very summit, but Wang Chong had managed to achieve this astonishing transformation in just a few days.
Even as he thought back to it, Ziyad still felt immense shock.
All of this was enough to make anyone despair.
”Abu Muslim, Ziyad, everything is over. Let this place be your end! Hand over your lives!”
Wang Chong's eyes were sharp, and his loud voice resounded to the horizon.
Abu Muslim had been the one to start this war, for the sake of Arabia's ambitions on the Great Tang. Now, it was time for this war to end with the two of them.
Boom!
A vast sea of Psychic Energy flew through the air, dividing into two and stabbing like spears into the minds of Abu Muslim and Ziyad. While these two were having their minds shaken, Wang Chong's halo clattered and golden Stellar Energy erupted from his body. With a heaven-toppling momentum, he charged at Abu Muslim and Ziyad.
Kacrack! Even before Wang Chong's attack had landed, the sturdy walls beneath the pair began to groan and sink, cracks appearing across their surface. The entire city of Khorasan began to quake, completely incapable of enduring the power of this dreadful strike.
”Run!”
Even Abu Muslim and Ziyad paled at this strike. The strength Wang Chong had displayed had completely exceeded theirs. This was a strength that made them despair.
Bang!
Abu Muslim's eyes gleamed with resolve, and he suddenly stomped down, shrouding himself in frenzied energy as he prepared to charge at Wang Chong. But just as Abu Muslim was prepared to move, an energy came from behind him and viciously pushed him back.
”Milord, get out of here! I'll cover for you!”
Before Abu Muslim could react, Ziyad was already rushing at Wang Chong, his eyes streaked with blood and his face determined.
He would not be able to escape. After so many battles, he had accumulated injuries far worse than Abu Muslim's. Moreover, Ziyad knew that Wang Chong would never let him escape. In his current state, his chance of surviving was minuscule.
Moreover, with Qutaybah, Aybak, and Osman dead, if even his commanding officer Abu Muslim died as well, then the Caliph would have no other choice than to execute him so that he could accompany all the other governors who had been killed in battle.
”Milord, we've fought together for ten-some years. Milord has always taken care of me, so now, let me take care of Milord. At the very least, if Milord can survive, you will still have a chance to avenge me and Lord Qutaybah!”
