Chapter 1902: Calling Down the Lightning!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Boom!

Wang Chong made a flying leap, soaring into the sky.

Khatabah’s Black Flame Ifrit furiously roared and punched, but Wang Chong managed to narrowly dodge the attack.

“What’s going on?!”

“You need our help?”

The voices of Wang Zhongsi and Li Junxian resounded in Wang Chong’s mind, and the two of them shot upward like two jagged bolts of lightning.

Wang Chong’s words had come very suddenly, and in these dire circumstances, no one understood what Wang Chong was thinking. But at this time, everyone chose to believe in Wang Chong, as there were no better options.

“Don’t worry! Everyone, work together and hold down Khatabah!” Zhangchou Jianqiong called out, and took the lead in rushing at Khatabah.

He immediately gathered his Stellar Energy on his right fist. Awooo! A white tiger charged at the Black Flame Ifrit, and with a tremendous explosion, the flames quivered.

“Go!”

The others suppressed their injuries and lunged at Khatabah.

“Eight Ultimate Sunderings!”

“Immortal Universe Eternal Spring!”

“Demonic Obeisance!”

“Bone Devil Swallows the Heavens!”

Stellar Energies of both the righteous and evil paths barraged the Black Flame Ifrit.

“Transfer your energy to me!”

High in the sky, Wang Chong flew toward the thunderclouds while communicating with the other two.

Wang Chong alone lacked the strength to link with the lightning in the clouds, and only those in the Subtle realm, Wang Zhongsi and Li Junxian, could assist him.

Only the three of them working together could maximize the power of the Xuanyuan Sword.

Bang!

A large and firm hand and a slender and delicate hand pressed onto Wang Chong’s shoulders.

Wang Zhongsi and Li Junxian immediately began to transfer their energy to Wang Chong.

“We can only depend on you!” Li Junxian’s solemn voice spoke into Wang Chong’s mind.

With the Stellar Energy from the two, Wang Chong swelled in power, and the three of them continued to soar into the sky like an arrow.

“Stubborn to the end!”

A thunderous roar came from below, and then a fist of seething black flames rapidly began to approach from the ground.

“And when did I give you permission to leave?!”

After opening the passage to the Subtle realm and absorbing the energy of this higher dimension, Khatabah was brimming with power, and he was now essentially unopposed on the battlefield.

Whether it was Wang Chong or Li Junxian, no one was a match for Khatabah in his current state.

Even so, Khatabah did not dare to be careless. His first priority was to annihilate these top-class Tang commanders.

“Die for me!”

The ground burned with black flames as Khatabah streaked upward like a comet.

But at this moment, a roar came from out of the sandstorm, and some dark and heavy object slammed into the Black Flame Ifrit’s head.

The force of the impact even left a large hole in the Ifrit’s head.

Boom! Khatabah had been punching at Wang Chong’s group when this sudden strike made his body tremble and pause.

Wang Chong and the others used this moment to immediately vanish deep into the clouds.

“Damn it!”

Khatabah gnashed his teeth and turned around. Around seven thousand feet away from him, a mountainous figure stood, its body covered in red hair and its arms raised high, carrying what was clearly the corpse of a lion Behemoth.

On this battlefield, the one in the most awkward position was the King Ape under Wang Chong’s control.

While the King Ape possessed boundless physical strength that surpassed a peak Great General and almost reached the Subtle realm, it was still a Behemoth and had no idea how to use Stellar Energy. The Black Flame Ifrit was surrounded by two-hundred-thousand-degree flames, and this heat forced the King Ape to keep its distance.

The King Ape’s enormous strength was useless in this fight.

This was why the King Ape had remained out of the fight with the Black Flame Ifrit for so long.

But snakes and mice each had their own way of doing things, and in the end, Wang Chong had found a way to use it against the Ifrit.

Bang!

The King Ape did not seem to care that Khatabah had noticed it, baring its fangs as it threw the lion Behemoth’s body like a cannonball.

“Impudent!”

This time, Khatabah was not caught off guard by the King Ape’s attack.

He opened his fingers and sent a pillar of black flame that blasted aside the lion Behemoth corpse. The high temperatures instantly sent the corpse ablaze, and the awful stench of burning flesh soon spread throughout the battlefield.

Khatabah flicked his fingers, sending several dozen spears of black flame, each one ten-some meters long, hurtling toward the King Ape.

The heat of the spears alone was enough to melt steel and stone.

Roooar!

The King Ape chose to avoid a direct confrontation, roaring as it turned around and jumped into the distance.

Khatabah could only gnash his teeth, but there was nothing he could do about the slippery King Ape.

While Khatabah was distracted by the King Ape, Wang Chong, Wang Zhongsi, and Li Junxian continued to head to where the lightning was most concentrated.

“Wang Chong, it’s up to you!”

At the last moment, Wang Zhongsi and Li Junxian sent one last bit of energy to Wang Chong before breaking off, allowing Wang Chong to continue deeper into the clouds.

The two of them split up and began to descend.

“Right now, it all depends on him.”

As the winds howled around him, Wang Zhongsi watched as Wang Chong turned into a shrinking black dot.

On the other side, Li Junxian looked at Wang Chong with hopeful eyes.

The opponent this time was incomparably powerful and possessed unprecedented force and size. Wang Zhongsi and Li Junxian had done all they could, but then Khatabah had fused with the Ifrit, making everyone despair. They could only depend on Wang Chong now.

In the Imperial Court, they had been enemies, and Li Junxian had hoped more than once that he could defeat Wang Chong. But at this moment, he hoped that Wang Chong could lead the Great Tang in a reversal of this battle.

Kacrack!

A thick lightning bolt crossed the skies, followed by a second, a third, a fourth… This was a land of mountainous dark clouds crisscrossed by rivers of lightning.

Wang Chong flew between the dark clouds and lightning. The air was so charged with electricity that his hair was standing on end.

Only high in the sky and deep within the clouds could one experience and understand the true, terrifying might of lightning.

No matter how powerful a martial artist was, they were no match for the limitless power of nature.

“It’s about ready!”

Wang Chong looked up, the countless bolts of lightning reflected in his black eyes. He could sense that the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was resonating with the lightning.

Those bolts of lightning brimming with destructive energy were like venomous snakes, staring at the Xuanyuan Sword and preparing to lunge.

Wang Chong knew that this was the response of extremely polarized lightning toward metal.

The Xuanyuan Sword alone did not have the power to defeat Khatabah, but if he could infuse it with the power of all the lightning in the world, it was possible!

Buzz!

A moment later, Wang Chong took action, raising the Xuanyuan Sword over his head and pointing it at the dense congregation of lightning. After what seemed like one second and like countless eons…

Bang!

A massive bolt of lightning was drawn down, cleaving like an axe at the Xuanyuan Sword. Its blinding light pierced through the clouds and penetrated through the sandstorm, attracting the attention of the entire battlefield.

Abu Muslim, Adnan, and even the spectators on the Turkic steppe and the Tibetan Plateau unconsciously raised their heads to look at that dazzling source of light.

Boom!

And as they raised their heads, deep in the sky, another thick bolt of lightning slammed down at the Xuanyuan Sword, and then a third, a fourth, a fifth… As if a curtain had been raised, when Wang Chong raised the Xuanyuan Sword, more and more lightning began to be drawn toward it.

Rumble! In just a few moments, tens of thousands of bolts of lightning, following some sort of natural rhythm, slammed into the Xuanyuan Sword, and with each additional blazing bolt of lightning, the Xuanyuan Sword grew brighter and brighter. In the end, it erupted with a blue-white light that seemed brighter than the sun.
