Chapter 2155 - Clash of Destined Foes! (1/2)
Once at the restaurant in the capital, again during the feast of all countries, and another time when he had been fleeing the capital…
An Lushan had never been humiliated so many times in his life, and it was all inexplicably by the same person.
Besides Zhang Shougui, Wang Chong could be considered the existence most loathed by An Lushan.
This time, he intended to wipe away all his humiliation!
“Hmph!”
At almost the same time, Wang Chong, looking down from the walls, noticed An Lushan.
You’ve got some guts to dare appear in front of me! Wang Chong mentally sneered.
An Lushan might have thought that he had been very patient in waiting so long for this moment, but he had no idea that Wang Chong had also been waiting ages for this moment.
There had even been many times when Wang Chong wanted to just drop everything and run off to Youzhou to kill An Lushan. Alas, at the time, he had been some nobody who was regarded by all as a hedonistic wastrel. He had no strength or faction backing him. He had no way of influencing a place like Youzhou, and this wasn’t even considering that the conceited Zhang Shougui had been protecting An Lushan.
Given his abilities back then, he could only dream about assassinating An Lushan.
After that, the war of the southwest and the Battle of Talas had come, crises endangering the Great Tang like a row of dominoes. Wang Chong had no choice but to focus on these wars.
Thus, Wang Chong’s plans had been delayed again and again, until he had finally become the revered King of Foreign Lands, wielding supreme power and status. Only now did he have the strength to truly deal with An Lushan.
What destined foe? I don’t believe it! An Lushan, no matter how many cycles pass, how many times you reincarnate, I will pay any price to cut you down!
Wang Chong stared at An Lushan, his body radiating killing intent.
Thirty li!
Twenty li!
Fifteen li!
……
As the army got closer and closer, it became possible to see the white steam exhaled by the Turkic warhorses, to see the snow covering the long sabers of the Goguryeon soldiers, and to see all those eyes seething with murder.
At a distance of ten-some li, An Lushan stopped his black steed and extended his hand.
“Attend me! Bring me my bow!”
Cui Qianyou immediately rode forward and placed a bow made of Deep Sea Xuan Metal and inlaid with gold in An Lushan’s hand.
Crack!
An Lushan placed his grip around the bow with one hand while his other hand reached out and took a long arrow that was about seven feet long from Gao Shang. Nocking the arrow on the bow, he pulled back the string until it formed a full moon.
This sudden movement drew everyone’s attention. Yeon Gaesomun, Ozmish Khagan, the Khitan King, and the Xi Queen watched the arrow in An Lushan’s hand, none of them surprised.
“Hmph!”
Coldly snorting, An Lushan took aim at Wang Chong and released. Boom! With a shrill howl, the arrow left the string and shot toward Wang Chong, leaving a long white trail in its wake.
Time seemed to stop. An Yaluoshan’s arrow exploded with the light of a dazzling sun, instantly becoming the most striking existence on the battlefield.
And with this arrow, the tension on the battlefield hit its maximum.
“Careful!”
Those on the wall paled as they cried out in alarm.
No one had expected that An Yaluoshan would try to kill Wang Chong with an arrow before the battle had even begun.
Wang Zhongsi and Abusi instinctively moved to stand in front of Wang Chong.
Wang Chong was the Supreme Marshal of the Nine Provinces, and if he were injured, it would damage the morale of the army.
“It’s fine!”
Wang Chong waved his hand, fearlessly staring down that shining arrow.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, An Lushan’s destructive arrow reached Wang Chong’s face. But at this moment, with a massive explosion, a golden light gushed out of Wang Chong’s body and blocked the arrow.
The power in the arrow was instantly dispersed by Wang Chong, and the arrow was fixed in the air by his Stellar Energy.
“This…”
Wang Zhongsi and Abusi frowned.
