Chapter 1162: Killing Ziyad! (2/2)

Ziyad's hair was blown about by the fierce winds, and as he stared at Wang Chong, his hands clenched into fists.

”Tang, come! Let's fight to the death!”

Ziyad howled, and then without the slightest hesitation, he threw out the Ocean Ring. Countless waves of black energy immediately began to converge on Wang Chong.

”Not knowing your own strength!”

Wang Chong coldly snorted.

The golden light on his body surged, rumbling like a mighty wave as it shattered Ziyad's attack with one blow. Clack! Before anyone else could react, Wang Chong had shot forward and wrapped his fingers around Ziyad's neck, sealing off his Stellar Energy as he slowly raised him into the air.

With the power of the Ocean Ring, Ziyad had a strength similar to Cheng Qianli in the form of the Supreme Desolation God. Seven or eight days ago, before Wang Chong had broken into the Imperial Great General level, Ziyad might have had a chance, but now, if Ziyad thought that he could contend against Wang Chong, he was truly naive.

But to his surprise, the captured and doomed Ziyad cared little for his own fate or what danger he was in. He put all the strength in his body into a single heart-wrenching roar.

”Milord, hurry and go!”

This roar was like a thunderclap, shaking the souls of many and even startling Wang Chong. He had never imagined that there was actually a person like Ziyad amongst the pugnacious and fierce Arabs. At the final moment, he was not thinking of himself, but Abu Muslim, completely disregarding his own life.

Fwoosh!

The winds howled. A hundred-some feet away, Abu Muslim had been just preparing to charge at Wang Chong when he suddenly heard that roar. His body trembled while great waves tossed and turned in his mind.

”Ziyad!”

Abu Muslim ground his teeth so hard that they seemed on the verge of shattering.

”Run!” Ziyad sternly said.

”Kill!”

At this time, the air resounded with the sounds of fighting, and close to Abu Muslim, a Great Tang soldier appeared, the first to scale the walls with a Flying Grapple. Behind him, more and more people were reaching the top of the walls.

”Charge with me! Open the gates!”

The city itself was also in chaos, weapons clanging against each other as more and more Khorasani entered Khorasan through the tunnel. The eight-thousand-some Aswaran Cataphracts that the Arabs had spent so much time searching for had appeared before them in a completely unexpected fashion and were now swiftly charging at the gates.

Abu Muslim could also see that Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, and the Demonic Emperor Old Man were also converging on his position.

The battle was settled!

At this moment, Abu Muslim understood that whether he was willing or not, whether he stayed or not, Khorasan was foreordained to be breached.

”Ah!”

Even someone as cold and brutal as Abu Muslim couldn't help but give a furious and grief-stricken roar.

”Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi! The grudges between us won't end like this! There will come a day when I come back with another army and finally step onto the lands of the Central Plains!”

With these words, Abu Muslim jumped off the walls and fled like a lightning bolt into the distance. An Aswaran Cataphract tried to catch up, but with a single palm, he was blown more than five hundred feet away. Even before his body had landed, his famed suit of armor had already been shattered into pieces.

”Hmph! Abu Muslim, you won't get the chance!” Wang Chong sneered.

He activated the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art while also snapping Ziyad's neck. Wang Chong felt no sympathy for these enemies of the Great Tang. An invader had to be prepared to pay the price for a failed invasion. Abu Muslim had just been pushed to desperate straits. If this pair had managed to win, they would probably have been showing grim and savage expressions, and calamity would have befallen the people of the Great Tang.

Wang Chong glanced at Ziyad's corpse and coldly said, ”Sympathizing with the enemy is just being cruel to oneself. Ziyad, be at ease. Abu Muslim will be joining you very soon!”

Wang Chong made a gesture, and a group of Tang soldiers quickly descended the walls and made their way to the eastern gates of Khorasan. In the distance, ten-some Aswaran Cataphracts were also making their way to this gate. Rumble! A few moments later, the tall and firm gates of Khorasan began to slowly open.

Khorasan had been formally breached!

”How is it? Should we pursue?”

In a gust of wind, Gao Xianzhi approached Wang Chong from behind, his eyes gazing in the direction that Abu Muslim had fled.
