Chapter 2157 - An Infuriated Zhang Shougui Reemerges! (1/2)

A few moments later, with a great rumble, a metal plank around seven meters long lifted up, exposing a secret passage.

The insides of the passage were pitch-black and revealed nothing, but soon, several figures emerged from it.

Their armor marked them as Tang soldiers, but there was something special about the muscular figure leading them.

He wore the same armor as the other soldiers, but he had a cape on his back and a cold, bronze mask on his face, making him appear extremely mysterious.

But most striking of all were the eyes peeking out of the mask. They were cold and sharp like sabers, and a heaven-engulfing hatred burned in those eyes.

The moment this man emerged from the passage and looked around, everyone who saw those eyes trembled in shock, almost completely swept up in this immense hatred, even Abusi.

“!!!”

“Who is this?”

Everyone was shaken by this bronze-masked figure, some of them even backing away.

They had been in this fortress for a long time, never knowing that such a frightening man was hiding within it.

But Wang Zhongsi appeared somewhat taken aback, his expression turning pensive.

For some reason, this newcomer felt somewhat familiar, but there was also something substantially different. For a moment, he found it hard to determine who this person was.

Thump! Thump!

After looking around, the man lowered his head and stomped up to Wang Chong’s side.

“Thank you for your trouble!”

Wang Chong slightly bowed, seeming to deeply respect this bronze-masked man.

Everyone became even more confused.

At Wang Chong’s current level of status, they truly couldn’t think of anyone who deserved so much respect from him!

“Your Highness, who is this?” Tongluo Great General Abusi whispered.

“You’ll find out soon,” Wang Chong indifferently said, and left it at that.

Both Abusi and Wang Zhongsi were revered Great Generals, and he should have told them. That he did not meant that he had his reasons.

Buzz!

In the distance, the alliance army had also noticed this newcomer. Millions of eyes combined into a tangible power that focused on Wang Chong and that masked man next to him.

“Who’s that?”

An Lushan frowned, his eyes narrowing.

Even though he knew that Wang Chong didn’t have good intentions, An Lushan stil couldn’t help but look at this masked man.

“What is this bastard trying?” An Lushan gruffly said.

His forces were now fully mature, and even the previous Emperor’s decree was limited in the damage it could do, let alone anything else. He did not believe that Wang Chong had anything more powerful than the previous Emperor’s decree!

Gao Shang said nothing. He knew that An Lushan was asking him this question, but all he could do was shake his head.

Wang Chong was not his inferior when it came to schemes!

Up until now, not one of Gao Shang’s schemes had succeeded against Wang Chong.

Even he could not see through Wang Chong’s plans.

“What is this fellow trying?”

Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, the Khitan King, and the Xi Queen also looked at Wang Chong.

Wang Chong had a thunderous reputation in the continent, and all of these sovereigns had heard of his feats. But this was the first time they had interacted with him, and none of them knew what he was up to.

But Wang Chong didn’t have them wait long. As everyone stared doubtfully at the masked man, the mysterious figure began to speak.

“Unfilial son, do you still remember?!”

A thunderous roar of hatred rumbled in everyone’s ears.

Wang Zhongsi and Abusi still didn’t know what was going on, but An Lushan, Gao Shang, and Cui Qianyou felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their eyes flying open.

“It’s him? How!?” An Lushan blurted out, his face paling.

It was a voice he was far too familiar with, one that had been bored into his bones. Even without the face, he could recognize it. He had lived far too many days and nights in fear of this voice.

Today, An Lushan had achieved his ambitions. It could be said that he was only somewhat apprehensive of Wang Chong, not afraid. He even hoped that he could slay Wang Chong through this war. But he nevertheless was horrified by this voice.

Whoosh!

The mysterious man reached up and pulled off that bronze mask.
