Chapter 245: Continuous Breakthroughs! (2/2)

Just like that, four days passed.

Deep in the night, when the bustling city was asleep and only the howling of the wind could be heard, at the remote borders of the capital, walked a figure dressed in a long robe.

He was dressed like a person from the Central Plains, but his movements were slow, slightly awkward, and unnatural.

Boom!

Just as he passed by a lush maple tree, a cold gleam flashed across the sky and fell upon that figure's head explosively.

At the same moment, at a place slightly above the ground, the pitch-black shadow of a sword darted toward the back waist of that figure like a venomous snake.

The two assailants, one from the front and one from the back, were extremely in sync in their assault.

Boom!

Words couldn't begin to describe how swiftly everything unfolded. At that moment, the figure didn't panic despite his impending doom. Instead, his hands reached for the scabbards beneath his robe and drew his sabers with a shrill metallic rasp. At the same moment, a circle of dense Stellar Energy gushed out from his body.

Boom boom boom!

The intangible Stellar Energy collided with the sabers, but a metallic sound echoed out instead. In fact, one could even vaguely see sparks from the clash.

It was as if the flowing ripples of Stellar Energy was an embodiment of sabers and swords.

Halo of Sharpness!

Those who had inherited this kind of halo would find their Stellar Energy imbued with sharpness reminiscent of sabers and swords. It could be considered as an aberrant halo of the True Martial realm as well.

Upon collision with the halo, as well as three consecutive slashes from the sabers in the Goguryeon warrior's hand, Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka were knocked back.

”Hahaha, as I expected, you fell into my trap!” The Goguryeon warrior didn't immediately follow up with his attack. Instead, he pointed his sabers at Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka and burst into laughter, as though everything had gone according to his schemes.

”Gongzi, it's a trap!” Hearing the man’s words, Miyasame Ayaka immediately realized that something was wrong, and her heart immediately froze.

”Not bad, you sure react fast. But you're too late! —Come out!”

That Goguryeon warrior exerted strength at his waist and 'puchi!', his robe was immediately ripped apart, revealing the Goguryeon battle wear beneath. At the same time, he raised his large hand and gestured. Hualala! Three figures emerged from the forest and surrounded Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka.

Each of them exuded a deep aura that indicated that they were veteran True Martial realm experts. Any single one of them would already be a difficult battle for Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka, but for four of them to appear simultaneously, the duo was immediately plunged into a highly disadvantageous position.

”I'm just the bait, and yet you can't even defeat me. Needless to say, you can't possibly be a match for them, either! Hehe, I suggest you just give up and meet your death!” that Goguryeon warrior laughed sinisterly.

The disappearance of True Martial realm experts wasn't a small matter, and the members of the second base swiftly realized the severe consequences of the matter. Thus, they quickly took precautions.

While they weren't too sure about what exactly was happening, they swiftly organized a team of four to deal with this matter. Of the four, one would be in the open as the bait, while the other three would be lying in wait in the shadows for the target to appear.

This way, they could bait their opponent while ensuring the safety of their team.

However, they didn't expect their efforts to reap rewards so quickly.

”Hehehe, let me just add that your suffering will only intensify if you attempt to try anything funny. Let's see who is behind you after we capture you!” the man laughed heartily, assessing Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka as if they were already corpses.

”Gongzi, what should we do now?”

Cold sweat dripped from Miyasame Ayaka's forehead. Regardless of whether it was in terms of individual strength or numbers, they were in a disadvantageous position.

It was nigh impossible for them to win or escape.

”Hehe, don't worry.” Wang Chong shot her a reassuring gaze.

”Go, take them down. If they try anything funny, don't hesitate to kill them!” bellowed one of the four Goguryeon warriors as he raised his hands.

Boom!

The four warriors immediately rushed forward, and another three surges of Deluge of Stellar Energy immediately gushed forward.

Before this huge torrent, Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka's strength seemed insignificant.

Yiiiii!

But at the same moment as the four charged forward, Wang Chong released a shrill whistle.

”Attack!” His voice wasn't directed toward Miyasame Ayaka, but a person far in the distance.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, Wang Chong immediately activated his Bane of the Battlefield aura.

In an instant, four identical white ripples immediately shrouded the figures of the four Goguryeon warriors, and their auras abruptly plummeted...

Golden frame:

I can't find any apt word to describe it, but if you've watched historical dramas, especially Korean and Chinese ones, it's a kind of like a long wooden couch you can sit and lie on.
