The Human Emperor (200-400)

C355: Reversing the Tides!

To think that a body of flesh and blood would be able to withstand the full power attack of a heavy cavalryman, not budging in the least! He was like an unmoving mountain, knocking the charging cavalrymen back instead.

If they were not personally witnessing the situation, they would have never thought such a feat was possible.

"It should be my turn now!" A chilling voice carrying irrepressible flames of rage echoed in the air. By this moment, Iron Cloak Li had already disappeared from view.

Peng!

The first cavalryman seemed to have been struck by an invisible, massive hand, and he was sent tumbling away with his steed. And soon after, the second, third, and fourth victim emerged...

The tip of the Arrow Formation was where the power of the formation was concentrated at, but it was forcefully dissipated by a mortal body.

Even those powerful war steeds who could tear down boulders in their path had their bones and internal organs crushed under his fearsome might.

With every punch he made, a war steed would be sent flying and lose its life.

Hong!

After clearing away the four Great Tang cavalrymen who made up the tip of the Arrow Formation, he flitted to the side of another Great Tang cavalryman and knocked him down as well.

Hua!

With a slightly feminine shout, a white gleam of light flashed across the air, dragging a white trail behind it. A three chi sword was headed for Iron Cloak Li's head with astonishing speed.

Boom!

With an impassive expression, Iron Cloak Li allowed the sword to strike him without resisting at all. Klang! The incomparably sharp sword struck Iron Cloak Li's body, but it felt like it had collided with a steel plate instead, rendering the attack futile.

Iron Cloak Li thrusted both his palms forward, and hong! Air burst out of Bai Siling's mouth as she was knocked into the distance, crashing violently into a tree. Large mouthfuls of blood spilled from her mouth.

Before the chief of the Iron Cloak Highwaymen, who dominated the grounds from Longxi to the capital, even a genius of Bai Siling's caliber was no match.

"Siling!" Wang Chong exclaimed in alarm.

Bai Siling possessed cultivation comparable with Marquess Yi and Cousin Wang Zhuyan, but even so, she was severely injured by Iron Cloak Li in a momentary encounter.

"Junior, be careful. His Iron Cloak is resistant to swords and sabers, I was unable to breach his defense with my slash!" Bai Siling uttered anxiously with a pale face. If not for her considerable cultivation which allowed her to use her Stellar Energy to protect her internal organs, she would have died from the impact of Iron Cloak Li's palm.

Pu!

But right after saying those words, Bai Siling suddenly felt a sweet sensation on her tongue as a burning sensation rose in her throat. Yet another mouthful of fresh blood poured out of her mouth.

It had only been moments since they had started the battle with Iron Cloak Li, but five cavalrymen had already been killed by him. Even Bai Siling had sustained grievous wounds.

Iron Cloak Li was indeed a fearsome opponent!

"Lass, you seem to be quite worried about that lad. Don't worry, after I kill him, I'll make sure to send you off as well. None of you are getting away alive today!" Iron Cloak Li raged angrily.

With a swift maneuver, he immediately charged for the other Arrow Formation group where Wang Chong was in.

Without bothering with any defensive maneuvers, he headed straight for the tip which harnessed the greatest fighting prowess.
