Even before the massive fist and flame whips had impacted, the blazing flames and their extreme heat had already reached Wang Chong.
Buzz!
Wang Chong blinked away, not even trying to fight with the Ifrit, and charged into the Arab ranks.
“Kill him!”
The eyes of the Arab soldiers gleamed when they saw Wang Chong. Sensing the opportunity, they rushed over to him in a giant wave.
But a moment later, a red sun appeared, upon which thousands of Arab cavalry were seized from the ground by a terrifying pull and dragged uncontrollably toward Wang Chong.
Before they even got close, their energies broke free of their bodies and flowed into Wang Chong.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!
This was the first time in this battle Wang Chong had used the supreme evil art to absorb the energy of the enemy soldiers.
Wang Chong had consumed a significant amount of energy dealing with the Ifrit, and he had to replenish it.
The vast sea of Arab cavalry was the best source of nutrients.
Now that the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had been perfected and reached its apex, Wang Chong was able to convert the motley energy of the Arab cavalry through the Origin Immortal Art into energy that was purely his own.
More importantly, the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was a technique that exemplified the principle of ‘fighting a war to support a war’. It strengthened oneself while dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.
“Aaaaah!”
All the Arabs within a range of nearly ten thousand feet, so long as they had not reached the Saint Martial realm, had their energy seized by Wang Chong.
An Arab horseman screamed, blood bursting out of every pore. Mere moments after he and his horse had been lifted off the ground, they were dead.
And around him, numerous other horsemen met the same fate.
Rumble!
Moreover, through the terrifying pull of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, Wang Chong sent those Arab horsemen flying at the massive Ifrit.
These Arab cavalry were stricken with fear, but they had no control over their bodies. Before they even got close, the intense temperatures caused their bodies to burst upon in flames, and their armor melted away.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand… It didn’t take long for Wang Chong to absorb the energy of at least seven thousand Arab cavalry and have their bodies burned to ash by the Ifrit.
The blazing balls of flame were frightening to behold.
“Stop him!”
An Arab Governor furiously roared, clenching his legendary Arabian scimitar and streaking off in a white ray of light. He stirred up a tsunami of Stellar Energy that hurtled toward Wang Chong, attempting to slow him down so that the Ifrit could catch up.
But in a flash of light, Wang Chong disappeared.
“Greater Void Step!”
Before the Arab Governor could react, Wang Chong shot past his wave of saber energy in a blur, blasted through the Governor’s barrier of energy like a meteor, and slammed into his chest.
“Ah!”
The Arab Governor screamed as blood splattered out and his organs were jolted. His Stellar Energy began to flood out of his body and into Wang Chong’s.
He deflated like a punctured leather bag, and in the blink of an eye, he dropped to the ground as a shriveled husk.
Although it wasn’t known if he was alive or dead, his chances appeared grim!
“Damn it!”
All the Arab generals were infuriated yet frightened. While they gnashed their teeth in anger, they did not dare to act carelessly after Wang Chong’s horrifying display of power.
Meanwhile, Khatabah was also under heavy pressure from the combined attacks of the King Ape and Wang Zhongsi’s group. Still, he had been keeping an eye on Wang Chong’s movements.
“Bastard!”
Khatabah’s face turned ashen when he saw that Wang Chong was using the power of the Ifrit against the Arab cavalry.
If Wang Chong were allowed to continue, he would eventually break the entire Arab army, and the Ifrit would have aided Wang Chong and the Great Tang rather than hindering them.
“You really think I can’t deal with you?!”
Khatabah’s face darkened, and as he punched away An Sishun, he changed tactics.
“Let’s see how long you can last! Ifrit, kill those Tang first!”
“Still have time to worry about others?! Let’s see how capable you really are!”
Zhangchou Jianqiong’s face chilled as he punched, sending a wave of energy at Khatabah.
In another direction, Li Junxian raised the Noble Sage Sword and sent a long ray of righteous energy at Khatabah.
The full-force strength of these attacks immediately pressured Khatabah and caused him to shut his mouth.
“Protect the Hierophant!”
The Arab generals and Governors rushed over.
But before they could get close, the King Ape paused for a moment and swung out its arms, driving away the reinforcements.
After doing this, the King Ape rejoined the battle.
Buzz!
But elsewhere, Khatabah’s order swiftly shifted the course of the battle.
The Ifrit that was chasing Wang Chong suddenly stopped, turned around, and began to head toward the Tang army.
“Not good!”
This sight instantly made Wang Chong pale.
Wang Chong had charged into the Arab ranks to draw the Ifrit away from the Tang army, but one order from Khatabah had nullified his efforts.
Rumble!
The rolling waves of heat seemed intent on burning away the entire world. The dazzling fire raging around the towering Ifrit blotted out the sky, and the fires were so vast and intense that it was hard to even see the Ifrit’s actual body. And now that it had received Khatabah’s order, this terrifying monstrosity was striding toward Su Hanshan, Cheng Qianli, Li Siye, and Zhang Shouzhi, covering several hundred feet with each step.
The burning red light made everyone’s face rosy red, but the only things the Tang soldiers could feel were a terrifying pressure and the stench of death.
Roooar!
The Ifrit roared, and more and more of the ground was turned into molten streams of lava that surged toward the Tang ranks.
And amidst the surging lava, lava men were constantly rising up and lunging toward the Tang ranks.
A moment later, there was a burst of fiery light, and the Ifrit threw an immense punch at thousands of Tang soldiers. This punch could shatter the earth, and if it landed, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers would be instantly wiped out.
Bang!
With no time to think, Wang Chong shot in front of the Ifrit and tried to block the attack.
“Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!
“Trayastrimsa Heaven!
“Sword Qi of Slaughter!”
Wang Chong unleashed all kinds of peerless techniques with astonishing speed.
The Ifrit was simply too powerful. Wang Chong had no other option if he wanted to save the army behind him.
Boom!
A majestic surge of Stellar Energy fiercely collided with the Ifrit’s waves of fire and rivers of lava.
The world shuddered and the fabric of space groaned. With the human and monster at the center, a massive blazing sun appeared and then erupted.
Bang!
Wang Chong’s body trembled, and after a few moments of stalemate, he was blasted backward by the shockwave as if he weighed nothing.
Even though Wang Chong was at the Subtle realm and had all manner of peerless techniques, he was far from a match for this Ifrit that had once destroyed an entire civilization.
“Milord!”
Everyone on the ground paled.
Wang Chong’s body continuously flipped over in the air, flying several thousand feet before, finally, a burst of Stellar Energy erupted from his feet and allowed him to get his bearings.
Flames and smoke were rising from his body, he was covered in wounds, and his breathing was ragged.
“No good! No matter what, I have to stop it!”
Wang Chong looked at the Ifrit and clenched his fists.
Even though he had been pushed back by the Ifrit, Wang Chong was not backing down. In truth, the Great Tang already had nowhere to run.
Bang!
Wang Chong stomped forward, his body thrumming with Stellar Energy as he once more lunged at the Ifrit. But the moment he moved his body, he felt a tearing pain from every part of his body, and blood trickled from the corner of his lips.
Wang Chong’s heart instantly sank.
