Clang! Clang!

The thirty-six Behemoth Slayers stood in a row, raising their twenty-foot-long Behemoth Banes up into the air, allowing the teeth lining the edges to gleam.

These intimidating swords were shockingly large, even taller than Huang Botian!

Once they raised their swords, the thirty-six Behemoth Slayers went still and silent.

Buzz!

Even the distant Arab Governors and Deputy Governors couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock at this sight.

Arabia was a militaristic country, and its generals had campaigned all around the world and seen many things. But none of them had ever seen soldiers use such massive weapons before.

All of them felt uneasy at this development.

Roooar!

The bellowing Behemoths drew closer and closer, the earth shaking and dust churning at their approach. Even though the clouds of dust rose several hundred feet into the air, they still could not completely mask the enormous forms of the Behemoths.

One second!

Two seconds!

A moment later, just when the Behemoths were about to crash into the defense line, the thirty-six Behemoth Slayers shot over with astonishing speed, instantly crossing several hundred feet.

As a Behemoth was about to plunge into the defense line, Huang Botian cried out, his body somersaulting through the air. As countless people watched in awe, he landed on the head of a bull Behemoth.

”Open up for this old man!”

Huang Botian's eyes were red, his hair and beard in disarray, his body brimming with divine energy.

Crack!

A flash of lighting seemed to cross the skies, and a moment later, that twenty-foot-long sword slashed down.

With a metallic clang, the armor around the Behemoth's head, three feet thick and strengthened by innumerable inscriptions, suddenly cracked open. After breaking through the armor, Huang Botian stabbed his giant sword into the Behemoth's head, two-thirds of the blade sinking into the flesh.

Awooooo!

The bull Behemoth's body shuddered as it painfully howled.

The teeth edging the blade of the twenty-foot sword seemed to wound it even more than the giant ballista bolts.

As the sword plunged in, plush! Foul blood gushed out from the wound along a groove in the sword specifically designed for redirecting blood, drenching Huang Botian.

”Die for this old man!”

Huang Botian furiously roared, and as his Stellar Energy rumbled, the entirety of the sword plunged into the beast's head.

The Behemoth instantly howled. Its massive body staggered and dropped, crushing ten-some steel walls into metal scrap.

”Kill!”

Right behind Huang Botian, the other armored soldiers shot forward with their massive swords and lunged at the other Behemoths.

The reason warriors found it hard to hurt the Behemoths was their tough, thick, and tenacious flesh. The thickness of the skull alone was several meters. Ordinary weapons couldn't even pierce through their bones, let alone damage their organs.

The Behemoth Banes had been forged for this specific purpose.

These massive weapons weren't that powerful when used against regular enemy soldiers, even being so large that they hindered mobility and prevented the user from exerting their full strength. But they were perfect for the Behemoths.

Thudthudthud!

As the Behemoth Slayers came forward, the Behemoths began to howl in pain.

”Release!”

Without the slightest hesitation, the giant ballistae began to thunder, sending ballista bolts howling through the air. In a flash, another seven or eight Behemoths had been felled, bringing the total losses above twenty.

But not a single Behemoth had been able to penetrate deeply into the Tang defense line.
