Chapter 663: Assassination! (II)

A Profound Martial realm expert, close to the Imperial Martial realm!

This thought flashed through the minds of the guards. They were just ordinary guards from the Wang Clan, no match for an expert of this level.

Buzz!

Suddenly, under their flabbergasted gazes, Wang Chong raised a finger, immediately stopping that grandiose and terrifying saber energy.

Boom! A blazing Sword Qi emerged from the tip of Wang Chong's finger and jolted that saber energy into pieces. At almost the same moment, Wang Chong flung out his left hand. While everyone was still trying to understand what was going on, Wang Chong was already thrusting his Wootz Steel sword through the air. The sword cut through the giant man's armor, its tip plunging into his heart and out through his back.

Clang!

The armored man's knees buckled and he dropped to the ground, the dazzling Halo of Thorns at his feet dispersing. The man's eyes were wide open, fixed on the nearby Wang Chong, apparently unable to believe that the blow he had unleashed with all his power had been so easily destroyed by Wang Chong.

”Not knowing your own strength!”

Wang Chong sneered as he flicked his sleeves and slowly walked forward. In the southwestern war, his strength had soared, allowing him to break into the Imperial Martial realm. He had even managed to easily slay Longqinba, so an opponent of this level was laughable.

Moreover, saber energy had never been centered on the principle of 'the more the better'. Quality would always overcome quantity in this domain, and Su Zhengchen's Art of God and Demon Obliteration was hailed as the greatest technique in the world. How could an ordinary saber energy compare to it?

Thwish! Thwish!

Wang Chong had barely walked two steps when his eyes suddenly flew open and a metal whistle rang out in his ears. Three black arrows, gleaming with a green luster, shot out from the end of the street in triangular formation. Appearing mere moments ago, they were already right in front of Wang Chong's face.

Bzz! Wang Chong's body slightly leaned to the side as if he had already predicted this attack, and the three arrows brushed past him by a hair. Bangbangbang! The three arrows struck an ancient scholar tree by the side of road, instantly turning it into powder.

Wang Chong easily dodged these toxic arrows, and then his body swayed, vanishing like a puff of smoke. When he next appeared, he was already several zhang away.

Boomboomboom!

Behind him, another wave of arrows was shooting over from the other direction, passing over the place he had been standing just moments ago. Dust plumed into the air as they blasted the wall that had been behind him to bits.

But all this was far from over…

”Kill him!”

Shouts came from all around. After these two waves of sneak attacks, people around Wang Chong suddenly tore off their disguises and rushed at him. Hu, people from the Western Regions, Tibetans, Arabians, even Han… these people had been following Wang Chong this entire time, choosing this moment to launch their ambush.

Swish! The first to arrive were the curved, crescent-moon-like scimitars of the Abbasid Caliphate. These unique blades that were less than one foot long were edged on both their front and back. Only the sides of the scimitars with their exquisite carvings could be touched.

In truth, this was also the only place the user of the scimitar could leverage their strength.

After these Arabian scimitars were various other weapons, humming in the air. The Hu, the people from the Western Regions, the Tibetans, the Arabians, and the Hans converged on Wang Chong like starving wolves, their halos intersecting and encircling Wang Chong, locking off all paths of escape.

And these Hu, the Western Regioners, Tibetans, and Arabians… no matter which race or tribe they belonged to, they had put aside everything and reached an invisible and silent agreement.

'Kill Wang Chong.'

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, countless scimitars and assassination weapons seemed on the verge of striking true. Wang Chong only smiled calmly, as if these people didn't exist.

Thump! With a light stamp of his foot, a barrier of Stellar Energy with a faint reddish hue suddenly erupted out of his body and covered him like a bell jar. Clangclangclang! All the scimitars and other weapons halted as if they had struck a bronze wall.

”Your homework was too poor!”

Wang Chong glanced at his surroundings, a harsh and cold light in his eyes.

If these people had truly investigated him, they would have known that he was now a completely different person. He was no longer some ordinary warrior that could be defeated through sheer numbers.

It was obvious that these people had only discovered that he was a superb strategist, not that his cultivation in martial arts was similarly shocking.

”Li Siye!”

Wang Chong did nothing more, only shouted out a name.

Boom!

A mountain of a man suddenly burst out of the second floor of a nearby restaurant. On his back was a massive sword that was taller than the average adult man.

Boom!

Faint ripples flashed in the air. No one was able to see just how Li Siye had managed to pull out his sword as a fierce Sword Qi tore through the air, splitting the rear eight assassins at the waist.

The remaining Sword Qi slashed through the stones of the street, leaving a fissure ten-some zhang long.
