Chapter 301: Tongluo Secret Art!
”Well said!” Abutong suddenly started clapping. ”However, we might not have to go through so much trouble for this matter...”
Weng!
With a flash of light, a cold wind suddenly blasted into the surroundings, and Abutong vanished from the spot with unbelievable speed.
Boom!
Almost instantly, Abutong appeared right before Wang Chong, and his hand reached forward to grab him.
At the same moment, a loud exclamation sounded behind Abutong. The group of Tongluo youths swiftly backed away, as though alarmed by something.
Abutong's face warped in shock. Turning around, he saw Wang Chong standing nonchalantly on the spot he was previously at, seemingly expecting him to make this move.
With a frigid expression, Abutong said, ”Wang Chong, looks like I have underestimated you! I admit that you do have the qualifications to cross hands with me. Huorja, clear the area!”
Abutong raised his arm, and the group of Tongluo youths immediately backed away respectfully.
”Zhuang Zhengping and Chi Weisi, you all should back off as well.” Wang Chong waved his hands.
Zhuang Zhengping, Chi Weisi, and the others were indignant, but they still followed Wang Chong's instructions and backed away with Chen Burang.
”Gongzi, be careful!”
Abutong was no weakling. The previous move he made was extremely swift. If his target had been any of them other then Wang Chong, that person would have already fallen.
With the people from both sides backing off, a huge empty space was soon opened up on the main peak.
In this empty space, Wang Chong and Abutong were staring at one another, and the atmosphere grew tense.
”We are in trouble.” Realizing the nature of the event, Zhuang Zhengping frowned.
”Even among the Tongluo Tribe, Abutong possesses astonishing talent. Furthermore, due to the Tongluo Tribe's vast experience in battle, he is likely to be stronger than even those of equivalent cultivation realm as him, and gongzi is a single realm weaker than him!”
Wang Chong had yet to reach the True Martial realm, everyone here was aware of this fact. Even though it was only a single realm of difference, the gap between Origin Energy realm and True Martial realm was like heaven and earth.
Putting everything aside, just the augmentation from the halo meant that Abutong's Stellar Energy was far more formidable than Wang Chong's.
”I understand this as well, but we have no other choice at this point. Abutong planned out this entire matter to lure gongzi over. Regardless of whether gongzi is willing or not, this fight is inevitable. Furthermore, if we were to step forward and assist him, the other Hu will surely intervene, and that would only diminish our chances at victory.” A worried frown also sat on Chi Weisi's forehead.
Under the current circumstances, they had no other choice. Thus, even though everyone knew that Wang Chong shouldn't accept the duel, there was nothing they could do.
On the other hand, the atmosphere wrapped around the Tongluo youths was the complete opposite. A glint reflecting savagery and mischief lit their eyes.
”Young master, there's no need to be polite with him!”
”Show him that we are not to be trifled with!”
”Teach him a lasting lesson so that he will never dare to disrespect the Great General and you in the future!”
The group sneered. Even though Wang Chong's ability to dodge that strike from Abutong was shocking, no one still thought that he would be a match for their young master.
After all, their young master's capability extended far beyond that single fist. That fist was only an appetizer consisting of less than a tenth of their young master's full might.
”Hmph!” Hearing the voices of his peers, Abutong sneered coldly, and a frigid gaze surfaced in his eyes.
”Wang Chong, my fists and kicks are blind. I might not be able to hold back in the battle.”
”Hah! That's exactly what I wanted to say!” Wang Chong scoffed in response as he stretched his hands and legs. How could he possibly be unaware of Abutong's thoughts? However, this happened to coincide with what he intended.
Hmph! You're seeking death! Even though Abutong didn't say anything, he was provoked by Wang Chong's words. Deep within him, he made up his mind to teach Wang Chong an excruciating lesson he would never forget.
While he didn't intend to let Wang Chong off the hook easily from the start, Wang Chong's actions had further strengthened his resolve.
Zheng Xuan had used his connections with King Qi to suppress the other instructors. Even though he could only stall them for a short moment, it was more than sufficient to teach Wang Chong a lesson.
Boom!
Abutong stepped heavily against the ground, and the earth immediately tremored. At the same time, a furious wind blew, and Abutong's robe fluttered. A greenish-black halo slowly surged out from beneath Abutong's feet.
Unlike usual martial halos, the emergence of Abutong's halo caused a slight tinge of scarlet to appear in the air, and these scarlet tinges swiftly gathered together to form thousands of minute bloody edges.
The trembling of these thousands of minute bloody edges sliced the air in the surroundings into innumerable pieces.
Sss!
Seeing the unique halo and the floating bloody edges in the air, everyone's heart turned cold. Even though they weren't the one crossing blows with Abutong, they could still easily sense the danger within the matter.
If they were struck by those bloody edges, they would be severely injured even if they managed to avoid death. Not to mention, it would surely be an extremely gruesome sight.
After Abutong summoned his martial halo, the aura he exuded also abruptly changed. He suddenly felt like a domineering and callous warrior of the battlefield, and this left everyone slightly astonished.
Even Wang Chong had to view him seriously at this point.
This fellow... is indeed strong!, Wang Chong thought.
