Chapter 1502: Immortal-Crossing Bridge! (2/2)

But it was too late. In a flash of light, an imposing figure appeared in front of Wang Chong and made to seize him.

Wang Chong's heart chilled and he immediately sent all his Stellar Energy at this foe, but Wang Chong had still underestimated his foe's strength.

Bang! As the two Stellar Energies clashed, Wang Chong felt like he had struck at a mountain. His opponent had attacked silently, but his attack was imbued with a domineering and explosive power that had blasted apart Wang Chong's Stellar Energy.

Creee!

There was a shriek like the wailing of ghosts. The enemy's black Stellar Energy seemed to have a life of its own, as after blasting through Wang Chong's Stellar Energy, it drilled into his body.

At his peak condition, Wang Chong might have been able to put up a fight and make life more difficult for his foe, but his adversary had seemingly noticed that Wang Chong was heavily injured and had yet to recover. This was precisely why he had chosen to attack him.

Crack!

A slender white hand, as cold as ice, gripped Wang Chong's neck.

”If anyone takes another step forward, I'll snap his neck!”

As the voice resounded in everyone's ears, the voice's owner clenched their fingers.

”Bastard!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief, who were already rushing over, were compelled to stop and call back their Stellar Energy.

”And that little pet of yours! Did you think I didn't notice? Have him retreat.”

This voice, which had a light Hu accent, echoed in everyone's ears.

Time seemed to stop. Behind Wang Chong, the third-generation successor seemed to almost angrily step back.

The distant Lone Silence Ancestor went stiff, so shocked that he couldn't speak. He had only gone up to look at the stone stele and bridge, never expecting something like this.

The three of them and the walking corpse were now too afraid to move for fear of the consequences.

”Bagushidu, what are you up to?!”

Wang Chong immediately recognized his attacker. Even though he was weak and suppressed, Wang Chong could still use his Psychic Energy.

”Heh, King of Foreign Lands, you're really not someone to be underestimated!”

The man laughed. He was wearing a black robe and had a scholarly and refined appearance. It was impossible to associate him with the man who had been waiting in hiding this entire time and had ambushed the group.

Bagushidu could be said to have been the most enigmatic character throughout this northwest adventure. From the opening of the Origin Immortal Formation to the opening of the treasury, Wang Chong and the others had not even seen him, and while everyone was fighting for their lives over the Origin Immortal Treasury, Bagushidu seemed to not care at all.

No one had expected that the inconspicuous and enigmatic Eastern Turkic King would appear here, and he had clearly reached the heart of the Origin Immortal Treasury much earlier than everyone else.

It was apparent that he had smoothly arrived without alarming either the third- or second-generation successors.

This was simply unbelievable!

”It seems like everyone underestimated you. I didn't think you had the ability to deceive everyone's senses. Not even the Origin Immortal Art successors were able to notice. It's no wonder you never seemed to be in any rush,” Wang Chong coldly said.

Wang Chong rarely made mistakes, but this time, he was forced to admit that he had truly underestimated this man. There were times when one's true enemy wasn't necessarily someone who could be seen. The most fatal attack often came from places beyond one's vision.

”Heh, the King of Foreign Lands praises me too much. But if you don't want to die, I would have your master, those two seniors, and that walking corpse stand a little farther away.”

Bagushidu smiled. Even in this tense and dangerous situation, he continued to maintain his style and grace.

Wang Chong's heart shivered. Bagushidu might have appeared pleasant, but his grip on Wang Chong's neck had never once slackened, and had actually tightened. This was clearly an extremely dangerous man.

”Bagushidu, if you dare to harm my disciple, this old man will never let you go!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man's face was ashen pale, but despite his threat, he slowly backed away.

”It's said that the Demonic Emperor of the Central Plains is a vicious man who always get his way and never bows his head. It seems like you truly adore your disciple!”

Bagushidu smiled as he confidently strode forward, his hand still gripped around Wang Chong's neck.

His pace didn't slow down at all as he spoke, and at the same time, a wicked black Stellar Energy alien to the Central Plains flowed through his arm and began to creep through Wang Chong's body.

Wang Chong mustered all his strength, but he was still powerless to resist. In just a few seconds, all his meridians and acupuncture points were under his enemy's control.

This man… What frightening strength!

Wang Chong's mind shivered as he stared at the smiling Bagushidu.
