“Wang Chong, you can’t run!” A harsh and emotionless voice rang out above the army.

Genesis Supreme appeared above the Tang soldiers in the blink of an eye, his expression aloof and his eyes cold.

“Ah!”

The army fell into a panic upon seeing Genesis Supreme. All of them remembered this person. In the previous battle, the Inextinguishable Lightning Talisman Genesis Supreme had used had left an extremely deep impression on them.

For the Tang soldiers, the cold-faced Genesis Supreme was a nightmarish existence.

Before Genesis Supreme could strike, a spacetime ripple appeared, and Wang Chong emerged to stand in Genesis Supreme’s way.

“Hmph, finally willing to come out?”

Genesis Supreme sneered. If Wang Chong hadn’t appeared, he would have started attacking those ordinary Tang soldiers.

“I will give you one last chance. Hand over that item. I know that you and Li Taiyi have the same kind of object. Hand it over and I can ensure that your death is swift!” Genesis Supreme coldly said.

Wang Chong’s heart thumped upon hearing Genesis Supreme’s words, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Genesis Supreme, it’s not the final moment, and I will not lose! The Great Tang will never concede!” Wang Chong sternly said.

As the two spoke to each other, ten-some horsemen rode out in a panic, and the news they brought threw the army into greater turmoil.

“Reporting! Milord, bad news! A cavalry force has appeared outside the eastern walls and is attacking our army! It’s the Eastern Turks’ Golden Wolf Army!”

“Reporting! Milord, the Divine Aegis Division that was scaling the walls has appeared to our west. We were unprepared, and they charged into our ranks. The Invincible Great General is leading our troops to hold them off.”

“Reporting! The Youzhou soldiers have appeared and are pursuing our army from the rear!”

“Reporting! The Sunchaser Cavalry has appeared and is charging at our front line!”

“How could this be? How could this be?” When it rained, it poured, and as these nightmarish reports arrived, an old craftsman in the ranks began to mutter to himself, his lips trembling and his face pale. Those around him also paled.

But this was far from the end of it!

At this moment, a loud neigh that was tinged with the familiar stench of death and decay came from within the steel fortress. In the distance, a horseman that appeared like an ice sculpture with red eyes and a gray-white halo under its feet appeared in front of a broken wall. It quickly locked onto the Tang soldiers and began to ride over.

In short order, thousands of cavalry like this appeared.

The Yeluohe!

As they saw those horsemen, despair appeared on the faces of the soldiers.

“Haha, to think that even you would have bad days like this!”

Loud laughter came from behind the Yeluohe.

An Lushan himself had yet to arrive, but his smug laughter traveled far. Wang Chong peered into the distance and saw An Lushan’s plump figure swiftly walking toward him through the air.

An Lushan’s gaze was arrogant, and even though he had not reached the front line, he could see that Genesis Supreme had already caught up, so he couldn’t help but shout.

He wanted to see Wang Chong die with his own eyes no matter what, and die in a most tragic fashion.

All eyes turned on Wang Chong. In every aspect, Wang Chong had clearly reached the end of his rope and had nowhere to run.

In the distance, the Khitan King, Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, the Xi Queen, and the generals of the alliance all rushed over.

They could sense activity in the distance, and many people jumped onto roofs so that they wouldn’t miss out on this final drama.

There was no sympathy in their eyes for that youth who had once shone over the entire world, only endless schadenfreude. If all went as expected, they were about to witness the fall of the continent’s strongest War Saint.

“Hahaha, Wang Chong, do you see? This is destiny! In the end, you couldn’t deal with me. Once you’re dead, I’ll set up a new dynasty that will replace the Great Tang! This is the Mandate of Heaven!”

An Lushan heartily laughed, not giving up on this chance to beat down on Wang Chong.

“Destiny? Hmph, only weaklings bow their heads to destiny. Genesis Supreme, An Lushan, do you really think you’ve won?”

An Lushan’s callous jeers simply made Wang Chong shake his head and smile, not at all appearing defeated. On the contrary, his black eyes shone as brightly as the stars.

What did that mean?

Genesis Supreme’s eyes twitched as he swiftly noticed the subtle shift on Wang Chong’s face. For some reason, he had an extremely bad feeling.

“Ha, a slave general will be a slave general to the end. Genesis Supreme, An Lushan, do you really think that you’ve won?”

Wang Chong looked at Genesis Supreme and gave a mysterious smile. He subtly took a few steps back, increasing the distance between him and Genesis Supreme.

Genesis Supreme stared at Wang Chong, his eyebrows rising. That sense of unease only thickened.

What was this brat trying to do?

The fortress had fallen and the underground formations had ceased to exist. This was truly a landslide of a rout. At this stage, what could he still do?

Genesis Supreme instinctively felt that Wang Chong was being deliberately mystifying. He just needed... to kill him!

No matter how many schemes he had, he wouldn’t get the chance to use them.

Genesis Supreme’s eyes chilled as he spread out his fingers. Powerful ripples of energy began to emerge from his right palm.

Regardless of what Wang Chong was planning, once he was dead, he would never be able to carry it out.

“Too late!”

Wang Chong immediately knew what Genesis Supreme was trying to do, but unfortunately for him, it was too late.

He had planned carefully to draw his enemy into the trap, successfully ensuring that Genesis Supreme, An Lushan, and all of the alliance’s sovereigns and generals had gathered up behind his army and around the southern gate.

Creee!

As everyone stared in shock, Wang Chong leaned his head back and made a piercing whistle, the sound traveling several dozen li through the snowstorm.

“What happened? What is he trying to do?!”

An Lushan was still enraged over Wang Chong’s ‘a slave general will be a slave general to the end’ comment. When he heard Wang Chong whistle, he was flabbergasted, baffled as to what Wang Chong was trying to do.

Even so, An Lushan still instinctively felt uneasy. This whistle was clearly some sort of signal.

But as An Lushan was thinking, something completely unexpected happened.

Whoosh!

Around ten thousand feet behind An Lushan, light erupted from a tower that was used to store kerosene. A fierce flame vanished into the ground, and as people cried out in alarm, sparks began to fly everywhere.

As a thought passed through his mind, An Lushan paled and anxiously bellowed, “Not good! Hurry and put out those flames!”

But it was all too late. Fires had broken out in more than one place in the fortress, and it no longer mattered what An Lushan thought.

The fire spread, and a moment later...

Boom!

An enormous explosion came from deep beneath the fortress. It was impossible to describe this explosion. For both the alliance and Tang soldiers, it was perhaps the loudest and most terrifying explosion they had heard in all their lives.

Originally, the alliance army, including the men in black, had paid no attention to the tens of thousands of steel modules that Wang Chong had installed throughout the fortress, not even giving them a glance as they passed by.

In this fortress of steel, such modules and parts were far too commonplace.

But at this moment, all these steel modules linked together with the steel network beneath the fortress to become a terrifying weapon. Explosive waves of destructive energy erupted endlessly from deep beneath the earth, creating a light that was even more dazzling than the sun.

Half of the fortress was instantly obliterated in the initial explosion, and hundreds of thousands of alliance soldiers soon followed, obliterated without a trace by the destructive energy.

Also caught up in the impact were ten thousand Yeluohe.

In order to pursue Wang Chong, An Lushan had divided his remaining twenty-one thousand Yeluohe into two groups. One group of around seven thousand Yeluohe advanced at full speed to pursue Wang Chong while the remainder stayed with the army to provide cold resistance.

As the seven-thousand-Yeluohe vanguard arrived at the southern end of the fortress, the remaining fourteen thousand had arrived at the center of the fortress with the army.

Neigh!

The fourteen thousand undying Yeluohe were instantly thrown several thousand feet into the air by the explosion. These Yeluohe were almost flawless, able to shake off any wound, and they had dominated the battlefield with their overwhelming strength. But even the powerful Yeluohe were nothing but ants before this unprecedented explosion.

Bangbangbang!

At the moment of the explosion, the powerful Yeluohe burst apart like fireworks, totally torn to shreds.

Everyone was struck dumb by this sight: the Khitan King, Ozmish Khagan, Yeon Gaesomun, the Xi Queen... All of them turned ghastly pale, but there was no time to think, because these sovereigns were also in range of this explosion.
