Swoosh!
The Divine Works Elder quickly vanished into the snowstorm.
As the Divine Works Elder vanished, An Lushan and Gao Shang glanced at each other, their eyes slowly sharpening.
“You were right. They really weren’t taking us seriously and were keeping some power in reserve to watch us.” An Lushan’s stream of Psychic Energy entered Gao Shang’s mind.
Back in Youzhou, these people who called themselves gods had suddenly come to find him, saying that he was the Son of Heaven and that they were willing to do everything in their power to support him onto the throne and unite the continent.
At the time, An Lushan had chuckled and happily agreed, doing all he could to cooperate. But deep down, how could he really believe it?
He still knew nothing about this Celestial God Organization, finding it furtive and mysterious, so how could he trust it without apprehension?
An Lushan had worked with them and borrowed their power, but he had also been vigilant against them.
Until he conquered the entire continent, however, An Lushan was not ready to quarrel with them.
Gao Shang looked ahead and said, “It’s fine as long as they take action. Our first priority is still that man!”
The battle had reached an extremely critical juncture, but Gao Shang remained cold and collected.
A strategist needed to be like this in this sort of situation.
“You think he’s still holding back?”
An Lushan deeply frowned.
“Yes!”
Gao Shang lowered his head in thought.
“But the Great Tang has already sent more than six hundred thousand soldiers, more than ninety percent of their manpower. Do they have some other scheme?”
“I do not know!”
Gao Shang shook his head. This was precisely what he was uneasy about.
It appeared that the Great Tang really had mobilized all its soldiers, with Wang Chong himself entering the battlefield, together with Zhang Shougui and Abusi. Even a top-class formation, the Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation, had been used. There should have been nothing left.
But deep down, Gao Shang still felt an intense unease.
Was this really all the Great Tang’s supreme War Saint had?
“Is it Wang Zhongsi?”
Gao Shang was disconcerted.
The only one who had yet to appear was the Crown Prince’s Junior Guardian. But what could Wang Zhongsi alone do?
After all, even the Supreme Marshal, Wang Chong, had already taken action.
Hiss!
Gao Shang took in a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
“It’s too late. Both armies have been mobilized. There’s no going back for us. We can only send in all our soldiers!”
Bwoooom!
A horn blared once more from the rear of the Youzhou army, calling for an assault.
“Kill!”
The alliance army grew even more restless, madly surging forward. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers avoided Wang Chong and his Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation in the center and charged straight at Zhang Shougui and Abusi, increasing the pressure on the Great Tang’s flanks.
All of this was part of Gao Shang’s plan.
Wang Chong’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Devil Annihilation Formation was just too terrifying. Any of their soldiers approaching it would be an egg smashed against a stone. The losses they would suffer would be uncountable.
Zhang Shougui on the left flank and Abusi on the right flank were much easier to deal with.
Moreover, Zhang Shougui was far too bloodthirsty, and he could no longer be ignored.
He had been the one who had originally trained the Youzhou army, so he knew its tactics like the back of his hands. Under his command, the two hundred thousand Tang soldiers were second in power only to Wang Chong, penetrating deeply through the alliance army’s left flank.
Zhang Shougui was at an almost unstoppable level.
Not even Youzhou’s elite soldiers were able to exhibit their full strength in front of him.
None of the veterans of Youzhou were willing to contend against Zhang Shougui.
So long as he could use the men in black to kill Zhang Shougui, the Tang army on the left flank would no longer be a concern. Then, they just needed to kill Abusi and his Tongluo Cavalry on the right flank to consolidate their advantage, completely encircle Wang Chong’s army, and defeat him in a single stroke.
This was Gao Shang’s plan.
Swish!
War cries resounded, halos resonated, and metal clattered, the sound traveling several dozen li. At this time, nobody noticed a figure traveling across the battlefield toward the left flank, moving so quickly that the eye couldn’t keep up.
“Ant!”
In the snowstorm, that Subtle realm expert coldly stared at Zhang Shougui with a cruel gleam in his eyes.
Bang!
Tens of thousands of feet went by in an instant, that mysterious figure creating sonic booms in his wake and scars in space. But at this time, that figure was already above Zhang Shougui and swinging a saber at him.
“Die!”
Bang!
The saber cleaved through space, creating a giant scar in space that was nearly ten thousand feet long. The immense shadow cast down by the saber wave made Zhang Shougui seem tiny and insignificant.
That ‘Divine Lord’ of the Celestial God Organization faintly smiled in disdain.
What renowned general? In front of a god, they were all insignificant ants.
Killing them would not be any more difficult than killing chickens.
“Go to hell!” that Divine Lord bellowed, his expression twisting in savagery.
Just when it seemed like Zhang Shougui would die to this Subtle realm Divine Lord of the Celestial God Organization…
Bang!
From deep underground beneath Zhang Shougui came a massive boom. The snow flew into the air as a figure exploded out of the ground and appeared above Zhang Shougui, blocking that Divine Lord.
“Hmph, I knew that you would strike!” A cold and disdainful voice that was neither too loud nor too soft entered this Divine Lord’s ears, and the Divine Lord saw a familiar face appear in front of him.
The sight of this face made this Divine Lord tremble in shock.
“You! How?!”
To his utter disbelief, this man was identical to the man in the center of the battlefield who was battling Yeon Gaesomun and Ozmish Khagan: Wang Chong!
Two identical Wang Chongs had appeared on the same battlefield!
This sudden mishap had taken him completely by surprise.
As the Divine Lord reeled in shock, Wang Chong’s Divine Embryo 1 immediately unleashed the Trayastrimsa Heaven, which transformed into a fist that smashed into the Divine Lord.
Bang!
Wang Chong’s terrifying strike tore open space, shattered the Divine Lord’s saber attack, and slammed into the Divine Lord’s chest.
The Divine Lord’s chest caved in, bones cracking and snapping, and the man screamed as he flew several thousand feet through the air like a ragdoll before crashing into the alliance army.
And he was not alone.
“Ah!”
At almost the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, the second Divine Lord had been rapidly moving through the battlefield like a ghost, preparing to strike Tongluo Great General Abusi.
Suddenly, one of Abusi’s ‘deputies’ suddenly erupted with a powerful aura that not even Abusi could match and fiercely punched at the second Divine Lord.
Enormous energy howled into his organs, and as that Divine Lord flew backward, he vomited blood.
The armor on Abusi’s deputy broke away, revealing a young face that was identical to Wang Chong’s.
On the same battlefield, three identical Wang Chongs had appeared!
“This is impossible!”
The Divine Works Elder, who had just returned from the rear, almost stopped breathing, his pupils constricting.
He had just made an exception and gone to the rear to call out the Divine Lords who had been observing An Lushan and have them join the battle. With their strength, they would have been able to kill Zhang Shougui and Abusi and then join together to deal with Wang Chong, thus smoothly turning the tides.
The entire process should have been simple and easy.
He had never imagined that Wang Chong would also be hiding a few moves.
Three identical Wang Chongs had appeared, ruining all their plans.
On the contrary, now that they had shown all their cards, they were in an extremely disadvantageous and passive position.
Similarly shocked were An Lushan and Gao Shang.
Even though they had a few scattered intelligence reports about Wang Chong’s clones, those intelligence reports had been very ambiguous on the details. Now that they saw Wang Chong’s three clones for themselves, they felt an immense shock.
One Wang Chong was hard enough to deal with. Three Wang Chongs appearing at once was their worst nightmare!
Creee!
As Wang Chong revealed his clones, a sharp whistle came from the distance. Far behind the alliance, from the direction of the Eastern Sea, a firework shot through the air, dragging a long trail of smoke behind it.
Panic spread through the battlefield, nobody understanding what this signified. But in the center of his army, Wang Chong pushed back Yeon Gaesomun and the others with his palm, took several steps back, and then looked up at the firework and eerily smiled.
“An Lushan, Gao Shang, if you thought that you could gather up the kingdoms of the northeast and try to oppose the Great Tang with this disorderly mob, then you were laughably naive! Now, I will teach you what it means to take the enemy by surprise, what the art of war truly means!
“With just you lot, you will never have the right to oppose the Great Tang!”
Wang Chong loudly laughed.
He made a gesture with his hand, and then a giant firework soared several thousand feet into the air before exploding, its dazzling light visible from one hundred li away.
An Lushan, Gao Shang, and the Xi Queen looked up at that firework, their eyes widening in intense unease.
