”This scoundrel is together with Demonic Emperor Zhang Wenfu and his disciple, so he can't be easy to deal with. Wei Wen, take a few people and kill that old man. As for the fake Young Master Qingyang, leave him to me!” Sikong Yuanjia spoke in a booming tone, his finger extending toward the Formation Elder, upon which eight Righteous Alliance experts immediately lunged toward him.

”Damn it! What are you after me for!?”

The Formation Elder paled at this sight. He was truly just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. He had never committed any crime against the world. Merely by being together with Zhang Wenfu, he had already been attacked twice by experts of the Righteous Alliance.

”Senior Zhou, get behind me! I'll protect you!”

At this crucial moment, Wang Chong stepped in front of the Formation Elder to protect him.

”Kid, you're just a clay Bodhisattva who can't even protect yourself, yet you have the time to worry about others! Someone! Join me in capturing this kid so that we can set the record straight!”

Sikong Yuanjia's eyes chilled as he shot forward to attack Wang Chong.

Boom!

As Sikong Yuanjia attacked, Wang Chong immediately thrust a palm forward, but Sikong Yuanjia had no intention of dodging.

”Zhurong Divine Armor!” Sikong Yuanjia bellowed.

Dense flames burst out of his body and swiftly congealed into fiery red armor. The attack unleashed from Wang Chong's palm bounced harmlessly off the half-foot-thick Zhurong Divine Armor. Meanwhile, Sikong Yuanjia continued to fly forward with astonishing speed, his trajectory not at all affected.

A defensive divine art!

Wang Chong's eyes flashed.

He had already seen Sikong Yuanjia while on the mountain, but this was the first time they had actually exchanged blows.

The martial arts of the world were divided into offensive, defensive, agility, and speed arts. Sikong Yuanjia's martial art clearly belonged to the defensive category and appeared to be one of the very best. For it to emerge utterly unharmed after taking one of his attacks meant that this divine armor Sikong Yuanjia was wearing had reached an astonishing level of toughness.

But Wang Chong was quick to respond.

Swish! Swish!

Wang Chong flicked his finger, sending several milky-white bolts of energy at Sikong Yuanjia.

”Petty tricks!”

Sikong Yuanjia sneered and immediately swung a fist at one of these bolts of energy.

But a moment later, as fist energy intertwined with the bolt of energy, Sikong Yuanjia immediately felt as if the Zhurong Divine Armor around his arm had been pierced through. The incomparably tough Zhurong Divine Armor was actually incapable of blocking that bolt of milky-white energy, and two more bolts of energy were shooting straight at his face.

Not good! Sword Qi!

A frightening thought flitted through Sikong Yuanjia's mind. Sikong Yuanjia had originally believed that Wang Chong had only fired off some dense bolt of energy, but only when he truly interacted with it did he realize that this extremely sharp energy was none other than that martial energy which was the most difficult of all to cultivate, Sword Qi.

Sikong Yuanjia sensed that these milky-white bolts of energy that were about as thick as a finger were each made from condensed slivers of Sword Qi. Each sliver of Sword Qi was tougher than steel and as sharp as a divine weapon. Sikong Yuanjia's Zhurong Divine Armor could block Wang Chong's attacks, but it could not prevent itself from being cut through by these unremarkable slivers of Sword Qi.

Buzz!

With no time to think, Sikong Yuanjia twisted his head to the side, barely avoiding Wang Chong's attacks. ”Aaaah!” There was a scream from behind him as one of Wang Chong's bolts of Sword Qi shot through the head of a Righteous Alliance expert, dropping him to the ground.

Art of God and Demon Obliteration!

Wang Chong had inherited this art from Great Tang War God Su Zhengchen, but for a variety of reasons, Wang Chong had focused on advancing the easier Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, leaving the more difficult Art of God and Demon Obliteration on the wayside at the early stages, with greater understanding of the technique still far off in the future.

But even so, Wang Chong's cultivation level paired with the lethality of the Art of God and Demon Obliteration meant that even the Sword Qi of the early stage was enough to pose a major threat. Not even Sikong Yuanjia's Zhurong Divine Armor could do much to stop it.

”Everyone, together! Kill him!”

Seeing Sikong Yuanjia suffer a setback, the Righteous Alliance experts bellowed and quickly charged up.

”Damn Righteous Alliance, a bunch of bastards!”

The Formation Elder was both shocked and furious. These Righteous Alliance experts showed no regard in their attacks, including the Formation Elder as one of their targets. With no time to think, the Formation Elder waved a sleeve, sending out a formidable Stellar Energy to knock back the arrows that were coming up behind him.

At the same time, he opened up his palm, revealing five multicolored pebbles that he scattered around himself. The moment they thumped to the ground, the Formation Elder disappeared in a flash of light.

”What's going on here?”
