Rumble!

As Gao Shang was thinking, on the distant battlefield, the elite cavalries drew closer and closer. Abusi had already noticed the three threats approaching him.

“Come! Let this one see what has made you so daring as to rebel and make an enemy of the Great Tang!”

In a flash, Abusi erupted with formidable killing intent.

Clang!

Raising his sword high into the air, Abusi pointed it at the three elite cavalry forces.

“All soldiers, charge with me!

“All those who offend the Great Tang will be punished, no matter how far away they are!”

Abusi’s expression was imposing and majestic, his voice resounding like a bell over the battlefield.

Neeeigh!

The tens of thousands of Tang cavalry charged at one of the cavalry forces attacking them.

‘Divide and conquer’ was one of the simplest principles of military strategy. Abusi naturally would not give his enemy the time to join together and attack him.

“Hahaha, my sons, these Tang really did pick us.”

The leading Khitan general licked his lips and made a bloodthirsty and savage smile.

Behind him, the seven thousand Sunchaser Cavalry heartily laughed, their voices filled with derision.

They had encountered far too many opponents like this, believing that with their smaller numbers, they were easy pickings. But in the end, it was their opponents who had ended up dead on the battlefield.

Amongst the three elite cavalry forces, the Sunchaser Cavalry was the smallest. This was clearly why the Tang had chosen them.

“How should we deal with these Tang?” the leading Khitan general loudly called out.

“Kill them all!”

“Tear out their throats!”

“Eat them raw!”

The Sunchaser Cavalry laughed as they continued to charge.

“Correct! Kill them all! Open their eyes and let them know what it means to have the title ‘King of the Eight Divisions’!”

Rumble!

The seven thousand Sunchaser Cavalry brazenly laughed, and rather than retreating against the Tongluo Cavalry that outnumbered them by several times, they accelerated.

The distance was shrinking.

One thousand feet!

Five hundred feet!

A moment later, the Sunchaser Cavalry and the Tongluo Cavalry, two of the world’s strongest cavalry forces, smashed together.

Boom!

The collision of halos, horses, weapons, and armor all at once seemed to make time stop, the intense din drowning out all other noise over half of the battlefield.

And after this seemingly endless moment…

Rumble!

The dense formation of seven thousand Sunchaser Cavalry had somehow managed to hold off the seemingly unstoppable charge of the Tongluo Cavalry, and the two forces were like two bulls with locked horns.

The Tongluo Cavalry had failed to overrun the Sunchaser Cavalry!

The Sunchaser Cavalry had not managed to break through the Tongluo Cavalry!

Everyone was left stunned by this sight, the sounds of battle dwindling for a few moments.

Even Wang Chong couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in shock.

He was well aware of the Tongluo Cavalry’s strength. While it was inferior to the Wushang Cavalry, it was far stronger than the vast majority of this world’s elite cavalry.

The Sunchaser Cavalry consisted of only seven thousand men, but it had been able to stop the twenty thousand Tongluo Cavalry charging at full speed. Such power could leave any faction in the world shaken.

This alone was enough for the Sunchaser Cavalry to be proud.

“Hahaha, this is all the Tongluo amount to!”

“I’ll tear all of you apart!”

A muscular Sunchaser horseman at the front savagely laughed as he suddenly reached out and grabbed a Tongluo warhorse. With terrifying brute strength, he lifted the Tongluo horse together with its rider off the ground and threw them more than sixty feet away.

Nearby, another Sunchaser horseman laughed and then bellowed, his abundant Stellar Energy and the saber in his hand slicing through the opposing Tongluo horseman’s defensive barrier. He then jumped onto the back of the man’s horse, opened his mouth, and then bit deeply into the Tongluo horseman’s exposed neck like he was some kind of beast.

“Aggh!” The Tongluo rider screamed as blood gushed out.

This bizarre and savage way of fighting threw the Tongluo Cavalry at the front into disarray.

Horses were like a second life for cavalry. Thus, cavalry rarely left their horse to attack their enemies, let alone feast on human flesh like these Khitans.

Even though Abusi’s Tongluo Cavalry had been tempered through battle, they had never encountered opponents like these before.

Everyone who saw this was deeply shaken.

Even more shocking was that these seven thousand savage Khitans seemed to surpass the Tongluo Cavalry in terms of pure strength. Few people had imagined that the Khitans would have such powerful soldiers. At the very least, many of the Tang had never anticipated this.

“Hmph!”

But a moment later, Abusi coldly snorted, and his halo rippled as a new energy traveled through it to the rest of his army.

Bang!

A shockwave blasted out as the twenty thousand Tongluo Cavalry exhibited their true strength. A bronze saber suddenly cut through the air and cleaved through the weapon of the opposing Sunchaser rider. The sharp Tongluo saber was like a bolt of lightning as it sliced across the Sunchaser rider’s neck.

As the gleam of the saber faded, a head spun through the air.

It was only now that the blood gushed out from the Sunchaser rider’s neck, rocketing more than ten feet into the air.

How could this be?

The rider’s eyes were wide open in disbelief as he looked at his beheaded body, wondering how he had been so easily killed.

Thudthudthud!

More and more heads flew through the air and dropped back to the ground. The sight of several dozen of their number being killed finally elicited some shock from the Sunchaser Cavalry, and disorder began to appear in their ranks.

Not even the Tongluo Cavalry could compare to the Sunchaser Cavalry in brute strength, but in terms of fighting technique, the Sunchaser Cavalry were lacking.

“Damn it! Kill them all!” the leader of the Sunchaser Cavalry roared, his eyes instantly turning red.

The Khitan fighting style was extremely rough and broad, but they had been through many battles and overcome many foes. How could the King of the Eight Divisions, the Sunchaser Cavalry, be so easy to deal with?

Their moves had been practiced thousands of times, and even if there were flaws, their opponents would have little opportunity to exploit them.

But the Tongluo Cavalry had somehow managed to seize these brief openings and kill many of them. This was truly a first for the Sunchaser Cavalry.

However, this fact also stirred the madness and fighting intent within the Sunchaser Cavalry.

As a tribe that lived in the cracks, the Khitans were a fierce people that did not care for their lives, growing stronger the more adversity they faced. This was even more true for the Sunchaser Cavalry that stood as the leader of the Eight Divisions.

A stronger opponent was more capable of stimulating their latent ferocity.

Neigh!

Their horses neighed as the Sunchaser Cavalry exploded with violent Stellar Energy. Like madmen, they burned their potential energy and accelerated, casting aside all apprehensions as they charged at the Tongluo Cavalry.

A Sunchaser rider roared as he charged at a Tongluo horseman riding at maximum speed. Plush! As the two collided, the Sunchaser rider was stabbed through the stomach by the Tongluo horseman’s saber.

But the Sunchaser rider didn’t care that he was stabbed, even pushing himself forward, using his flesh to hold the opponent’s weapon while he stabbed his own saber into the Tongluo horseman’s body.

Plush! A saber emerged from the back of the Tongluo horseman!

The Tongluo horseman was stricken with shock.

No one had expected the Sunchaser Cavalry to use this kind of mutually destructive method to deal with the Tongluo Cavalry.

Swooshswooshswoosh!

Both sides began to sustain losses—Sunchaser riders and Tongluo horsemen dropped from their mounts. Meanwhile, Sunchaser riders jumped from the backs of their horses like wolves onto the horses of the opposing Tongluo Cavalry.

For a moment, the battlefield was total chaos.

The Sunchaser Cavalry were already extremely strong. The moment they put aside any concern for their lives, not even the Tongluo Cavalry could easily deal with them.

“Bastard!” Tongluo Great General Abusi cursed. If the Sunchaser Cavalry persisted in this way of fighting, then even if he managed to annihilate them, the Tongluo Cavalry would lose at least five thousand men.

The Tongluo did not exceed ten thousand, and they were invincible above ten thousand!

The Tongluo were few in number, and the loss of five to six thousand men would be a devastating blow!

But the Tongluo had been able to make their name in the world through their bravery and ferocity. If they fell back just because of some savages, what dignity would they have left?

“Concentrate your Stellar Energy to protect your vitals! Activate the ‘Tongluo Blade’!” Abusi furiously roared.

He swung his saber, unleashing a wave of saber energy that cut through ten-some Sunchaser Cavalry at the waist and sent a plume of snow rising a hundred feet into the air. And a moment later, the Tongluo Cavalry quickly began to adjust their formation.

The Tongluo Blade!

This was the greatest tactical fighting formation of the Tongluo Tribe. In Taizong’s era, this unique formation had been used by the Tongluo in their capacity as the protectors of the sovereign to deal with formidable foes. After many generations, it was finally appearing on the battlefield once more.
