“What?!”

The man in black grimaced and turned around in the air. He barely managed to land and yelled out as he looked behind him.

At some point, a stalwart figure had appeared behind him. This man was covered entirely in armor, only his two eyes showing.

Unlike all the other soldiers, this man wielded a heavy, black sword and wore dark golden armor. His entire body seemed to be blazing with energy that put him on an entirely different level from other elites.

“Those of the evil path will be punished by the heavens!” the mysterious soldier in dark golden armor said, his eyes cold as m.u.f.fled sounds came from under his armor.

As he spoke, secret tunnels on both sides of the gate opened with a metallic rumble, upon which hundreds of soldiers wearing the same dark golden armor emerged.

“On the orders of the King of Foreign Lands, the Shadow Dragon Division has been waiting here. Devils, we’ve been waiting!”

An officer wearing dark golden armor raised his heavy sword, his aura cold and icy.

Behind him, the hundreds of Shadow Dragon soldiers fanned out, becoming a human wall that stood in front of the fortress gate.

All of the men in black grimaced, but a moment later, their leaders turned cold, savagely laughing as their eyes flashed with sinister light.

“Ants that don’t know their own strength! Everyone, listen up! Kill them!”

Ants were ants, and even if they were stronger, they were just ants that were a little larger. Although these soldiers appeared extremely strong, they were no match for them. In the end, it would just make the men in black exert themselves a little more.

Bang!

The men in black roared and lunged at the Shadow Dragon Division like beasts.

At the same time, the hundreds of Shadow Dragon soldiers bellowed, their bodies seething with killing intent as they charged at the men in black.

Boom!

One of the black-robed leaders waved his hand, sending black Stellar Energy and the Fire of Mara at one of the Shadow Dragon soldiers. The powerful impact immediately sent this Shadow Dragon soldier flying. The black flames seemed to have a life of their own, seeping through the c.h.i.n.ks in the armor.

Thump! The Shadow Dragon soldier dropped to the ground, his body already burned down to the bone.

“As expected, an ant. With this little strength, you wanted to oppose us?”

The black-clothed leader grimly laughed, his expression savage. But his smile wasn’t able to last for long, as he soon heard a scream from next to him.

The leader’s face tightened as he turned and saw that three Shadow Dragon soldiers had formed into some kind of joint attack formation, their three heavy swords striking at a single man in black from different directions.

The sharp swords deeply embedded themselves into the man’s flesh.

But what was even more striking was what those Shadow Dragon soldiers did next.

As they restrained this man in black’s vital points, their bodies erupted with Stellar Energy and a powerful pull. The energy of the Fire of Lu Wu within this man’s body immediately began flowing into the three Shadow Dragon soldiers.

Boosted by this boundless energy, the Shadow Dragon soldiers swelled in power. A dazzling radiance erupted from their bodies and transformed into three pairs of suns and moons.

The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

The black-robed leader trembled, the blood draining out of his face.

The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had another name in the Celestial G.o.d Organization, but because of w.a.n.g Chong’s status as the Child of Destruction, its secular name had surpa.s.sed its original name.

“How could this be? They’ve all learned this evil art!”

The black-robed leader’s eyes widened in disbelief.

But there were even more shocking developments awaiting him. He quickly scanned the battlefield and saw similar events taking place elsewhere. It was not just those three who had learned the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

In terms of individual strength, the Shadow Dragon soldiers could not match the men in black, but three of them were able to firmly hold down a single man in black, and with the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, all of them presented a ma.s.sive threat to the men in black.

Thudthudthud!

On this battlefield, Shadow Dragon soldiers were being blasted away, but men in black were also being killed.

Both sides had their individual victories and losses, and it was difficult to say which one was the better.

“d.a.m.n it!”

That black-robed leader’s expression chilled. He shot forward like a bolt of lightning, summoning his Stellar Energy as he thrust out his palm. Fire of Mara instantly howled out and struck those three Shadow Dragon soldiers.

The destructive power of the Fire of Mara instantly blasted back those three Shadow Dragon soldiers, the flames even penetrating through their armor.

A moment later, the black-robed leader witnessed something shocking and terrifying.

In the distance, the three Shadow Dragon soldiers struck by the Fire of Mara swiftly rolled and stood back up. With a light pat, the horrifying Fire of Mara that could melt metal was extinguished.

Other than the Stellar Energy that had been consumed by the Fire of Mara and some jolting of the internal organs, the three Shadow Dragon soldiers were fine.

“Impossible! Utterly impossible!”

The black-robed leader clenched his teeth, not daring to believe his eyes.

These Shadow Dragon soldiers of the Great Tang had not only absorbed the Lu Wu energy of the men in black, they also had some resistance to the Fire of Mara.

Crackcrack! The sound of cracking bones rang out.

The three Shadow Dragon soldiers clenched their fists and stared with cold and sharp eyes at the black-robed leader.

“Kill!”

The three of them roared as they lunged at the black-robed leader with their heavy swords. In a flash of light, the three dark golden swords began to burn with violet flames.

Bang!

The three heavy swords swiftly cut down, and the three soldiers began to battle with the black-robed leader.

Boomboomboom!

Stellar Energy rumbled and shockwaves swept out as the seemingly unstoppable men in black finally ran into an obstacle.

At the start, the Shadow Dragon soldiers had been somewhat unfamiliar with their new powers, even suffering significant losses. But the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art and joint attack formation w.a.n.g Chong had given them soon began to show results.

As the saying went, two fists found it hard to fight against four hands, and not even a hero could win when outnumbered. The Shadow Dragon Division soon had the upper hand, and with the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art’s ability to absorb Stellar Energy, the men in black quickly found their advantage dissipating. It took only a few seconds for the tides to turn.

……

As this fierce battle ensued, on the other side of the walls…

Clangclangclang!

Several palm-sized plates of metal with complicated formations carved onto them were dropped to the ground. Unnoticed, several officers of the alliance army sent streams of Stellar Energy into these three small formations.

There was a metallic clatter as the three formations lit up and began to operate.

The icy mist around the fortress instantly became ten times more concentrated.

“Enough! The illusion formation is already working. The other teams also seem to have succeeded. Let’s withdraw!” one of the officers whispered.

The three of them were only one of the teams that had stealthily moved up to the walls. The surging mist around them made it clear that the others had succeeded.

“Mm!”

Without delay, these people immediately began to draw back.

As these officers finished their formations, in the rear of the army…

“Is it all ready?”

A muscular man in heavy armor bellowed. Amidst the vast sea of soldiers that was the alliance army, this sort of roar was practically inaudible.

At this moment, anyone who saw the situation in front of this man would feel their hearts chill.

In front of this stalwart soldier were rows of imposing generals from all the other countries.

For several dozen generals of the alliance to be gathered here while a fierce battle was taking place was extremely weird.

“Everyone, remember: there will be only one chance. Failure is not permitted!” the leading general harshly said.

“Yes!” everyone yelled back, their eyes viciously fixed on the steel fortress.

A moment later, hwooo! A wild gust blew past, roiling the mist. Behind them, the imposing silhouettes of catapults could be seen in the mist.

But compared to other catapults, these were clearly much smaller. Moreover, several areas had been modified and reinforced. These catapults were clearly meant for a short range.

These catapults were built for the purpose of this plan, and they were meant to throw people, not stones.

The generals swiftly boarded the catapults.

The defenses of the Tang steel fortress were far too powerful. Ordinary methods could not break them, so this team of generals had been formed.

No matter how powerful the Tang defenses were, ordinary soldiers were still no match for generals.

Boomboomboom!

With thunderous booms, the several dozen alliance generals, curled up into b.a.l.l.s, flew through the air and began to approach the walls with astonis.h.i.+ng speed.

“Kill!”

A Goguryeon general descended through the snowy mist. After landing, he uncurled his body, flourished his four long sabers, and immediately lunged at a Tang soldier.

More generals came right behind him, and the walls fell into chaos.
