Jiang Wuming was not an impulsive person.
On the contrary, many of his seemingly impulsive and reckless actions were actually meticulously planned and carefully executed, giving outsiders the illusion of being favored by the goddess of fortune.
However—
When he heard the alien enemies, led by the white-armored youth, arrogantly declare their intention to urinate at the graves of his parents and those valiant heroes, he exploded!
Swish swish swish…
As Jiang Wuming’s words echoed in their ears, the alien enemies, the Vanguard, and even the crowd on the city wall all turned their gaze towards him.
Simultaneously, other than the Vanguard, soldiers from the remaining nine regiments also emerged from the ancient city, forming ranks in front of it, ready to witness this battle.
At this moment, hearing Jiang Wuming’s words, a flicker of brilliance flashed in their eyes.
This was because Jiang Wuming’s words now carried a trace of Jiang Zhan’s demeanor from years past!
“Haha, this native is quite arrogant!”
“Strange, that native isn’t wearing armor, and he has no martial artist aura. Why does he exude killing intent?”
Upon sensing that Jiang Wuming possessed no martial artist aura whatsoever, some of the black-armored warriors couldn't help but speak, some with mockery, others with confusion.
“In a battle between armies, there are drummers, buglers, and flag-wavers at the front of the formation. That native is likely one of those roles. However, he looks more courageous than those other natives!”
The black-armored youth beside the white-armored youth replied. He was the second-in-command of this contingent.
The white-armored youth merely glanced at Jiang Wuming before shifting his gaze to Wang Tuo.
Although he didn't know where an ordinary person got the nerve to bluster or why he exuded killing intent, in his eyes, they were all ants, capable of being crushed with a flick of his finger, unworthy of his attention.
Concurrently, Wang Tuo also withdrew his gaze, meeting the white-armored youth’s eyes with fierce killing intent.
“Native, are you eager to reincarnate?”
As the white-armored youth and Wang Tuo’s gazes clashed, an invisible spark ignited in the air, and a hint of disdain flashed in their eyes.
“Come out and die!”
Wang Tuo’s cold shout resounded. His blood surged, his aura climbed to its peak, and his killing intent pierced the heavens. With a flash, he rushed out of the formation.
Initially, he was already feeling stifled and angry due to Jiang Wuming’s affairs. After hearing the alien enemies insult the heroes led by Jiang Zhan, his rage intensified. Now, hearing the white-armored youth’s arrogant words, he had completely lost it!
He ceased the pleasantries, intending to follow the old tradition of champion versus champion, to kill the white-armored youth first, and then annihilate the enemy!
“Heh… Not strong, but speaks with a big mouth!”
The white-armored youth sneered, gripped his battle saber, took a step forward, and met Wang Tuo.
“Die!”
Wang Tuo bellowed, channeling his vital energy madly. It surged out of his body, transforming into a golden dragon that enveloped him.
“Roar!!”
As Wang Tuo bellowed, the golden dragon raised its head and roared, a dragon’s cry issuing forth, its sound shaking the very soul.
Hoo!
The golden dragon roared, the battle saber swung!
Wang Tuo’s speed did not diminish. The entire man surged towards the enemy like a golden dragon. He raised his right arm, and the battle saber in his hand slashed out with a roar. The air in front of him split directly, transforming into a blade wind that swept towards the white-armored youth.
Simultaneously, golden vital energy instantly enveloped the battle saber, manifesting a golden saber light that radiated terrifying energy fluctuations, slashing towards the white-armored youth.
Hmm?
Seeing Wang Tuo make his move, Jiang Wuming’s heart stirred slightly.
Although Wang Tuo appeared to be using the “True Dragon Treasure Technique,” it was different from the True Dragon Treasure Technique.
This was indeed the case.
At this moment, Wang Tuo was employing an improved version of the “True Dragon Treasure Technique,” originating from Jiang Zhan.
Years ago, Jiang Zhan had modified the True Dragon Treasure Technique based on his battlefield combat experience, retaining its essence and integrating sword techniques, making it more suitable for battlefield engagements and enhancing the power of its moves!
“Oh…”
Concurrently, the white-armored youth also felt a trace of surprise.
Although he had previously discerned that Wang Tuo was a veteran of the battlefield and possessed the strength of a second-star War God at the ninth stage, he had not taken Wang Tuo seriously at all. It was only when Wang Tuo unleashed this saber strike that he felt Wang Tuo was somewhat competent.
Amidst his surprise, the white-armored youth did not dodge or evade. He also swung the battle saber in his hand.
In an instant, dense white vital energy enveloped the white-armored youth, manifesting a battle saber. He became one with the saber, and a white saber light appeared before him, cleaving towards the whistling golden saber light.
Boom!!
The two saber lights collided, like two cannonballs impacting and then exploding. A terrifying energy erupted, and a fearsome energy wave swept out in all directions from the point of impact, raising meter-high waves of air.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
…
At the center of the storm, Wang Tuo and the white-armored youth were almost simultaneously knocked back by the terrifying energy storm. The ancient battlefield bore clear footprints from their steps.
Specifically, Wang Tuo retreated five steps before stabilizing himself, while the white-armored youth retreated a full seven steps!
Huh?
This outcome was completely beyond the expectations of the alien enemies behind the white-armored youth. Their playful smiles froze on their faces, replaced by astonishment!
They all knew very well that even though the white-armored youth’s strength had been weakened by crossing the Great Curtain, and he was currently only at the ninth stage of a second-star War God, his understanding and mastery of martial arts techniques, as well as his combat experience in life-or-death struggles, had not changed. He should have been able to kill Wang Tuo, who was of the same realm, as easily as slaughtering a dog. How could he have fallen into a disadvantage?
“Roar!”
“Commander, slay the alien scum!”
While those alien enemies were stunned, the Vanguard side completely erupted. They roared excitedly.
Swish!
Amidst their roars, Wang Tuo did not delay. He once again launched a proactive assault, lunging towards the white-armored youth.
“Interesting.”
The white-armored youth was also somewhat surprised, but the disdain in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Even though he had a slight disadvantage in the first exchange, he still did not take Wang Tuo seriously. He sneered and met the attack again.
Subsequently, under everyone’s gaze, Wang Tuo and the white-armored youth engaged in a fierce battle.
Wang Tuo wielded the improved version of the “True Dragon Treasure Technique” to its extreme. He fought like a colossal dragon, his aura surging like a rainbow, constantly suppressing the white-armored youth.
The white-armored youth, while appearing to be at a disadvantage, maintained an air of effortless control throughout, showing no signs of defeat.
Boom!!
With another resounding crash, Wang Tuo and the white-armored youth exchanged blows, and their figures separated once more.
This time, Wang Tuo retreated nine steps, while the white-armored youth only retreated five steps, showing signs of growing stronger as the battle progressed.
This result surprised Wang Tuo, and his expression became somewhat solemn.
If he had been full of confidence at the beginning, believing he could kill the white-armored youth, then at this moment, he no longer had absolute certainty of victory!
Jiang Wuming, however, felt his heart stir, sensing that the white-armored youth was hiding his strength.
“Tsk tsk, I truly never expected that such exquisite martial arts could exist in this world. However, even if this martial art is exquisite, it cannot compensate for the disparity in strength and change the outcome of your death!”
As if to confirm Jiang Wuming’s suspicion, the white-armored youth let out a light sigh of admiration.
As his voice fell, his aura erupted like a volcanic eruption. The vital energy outside his body became even more concentrated and refined, his overall aura becoming even more formidable!
Third-star War God!
He had advanced to the third-star War God realm in the span of a single breath!
