Dingdingding!

Countless bolts of Sword Qi resounded like musical notes as they exploded toward Wang Chong.

Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, Yu1—as expected, the Confucian Sect has some good things!

Sitting on his horse, Wang Chong squinted his eyes, utterly unaffected by the Shao Music. With his current level of Psychic Energy, the things that could affect him were few and far between, and Shao Music was not one of them.

”It's a good art! Alas, the user's martial arts are lacking!”

With this indifferent comment, Wang Chong opened his eyes, opened his right hand, and reached with deceptive speed into the air.

Bang!

There was a thunderous boom, and a moment later, everyone could see that Wang Chong's palm had firmly grasped a silver-white sword out of the empty air.

This sharp sword seemed like nothing but a wooden cudgel in Wang Chong's hand, and it was completely frozen in the air. And Sword Ghost, who was holding the sword, was also frozen in a strange posture, his head facing down and his feet facing up like he was nailed in place.

”How is this possible?”

Sword Ghost's eyes flashed, a look of extreme shock on his face as he stared at the young noble on horseback.

He had used the fiercest of Sword Qis, and not even steel could endure this blow. But Wang Chong had caught his sword like an eagle snatching a chick. Sword Ghost was even more shocked because he knew that this terrifying assassination art was bursting with explosive Stellar Energy.

For Wang Chong to catch the sword barehanded was an incredibly foolish action.

But only now did Sword Ghost realize that when his Shao Music Sword Qi clashed with Wang Chong, the Stellar Energy was all devoured, unable to cause even a small ripple.

It was like Wang Chong's body was a bottomless pit.

There was nothing normal about this, and not even within the Confucian Sect had Sword Ghost encountered anything so bizarre.

There was only one explanation…

Wang Chong was far stronger than he was!

Sword Ghost's heart sank like a stone.

For the first time, Sword Ghost began to panic as he looked at this youth. He had never had much regard for this noble of the Great Tang, so he had never once believed that he wasn't a match for Wang Chong. Thus, he had impulsively charged over.

”Not good! Retreat!”

”Not good! Sword Ghost is in trouble!”

Elder Song and Bamboo Mirror paled. They had tried to stop Sword Ghost the moment he charged forward, but Sword Ghost moved too quickly. Even worse, Sword Ghost had a rash personality and simply had no idea who he was dealing with.

”Stop him!”

Elder Song and the others cast aside their apprehensions and began to shoot out of the crowd toward Wang Chong.

In the distance, all of Sword Ghost's initial rage and impulse had vanished without a trace.

Retreat!

As Sword Ghost paled, this was the only thought left in his mind.

He let go of the sword and tried to shoot backward.

”Hmph, you think you can run?”

Wang Chong coldly sneered. He had even slain a Subtle realm expert like the Tiger Immortal with a single blow, and Sword Ghost wasn't even in the Subtle realm.

Buzz!

Just as Sword Ghost was retreating, Wang Chong instantly attacked.

”King of Foreign Lands, show mercy!” A cold and aloof voice came from the direction of the palace gate, and its owner instantly began to move with lightning-fast speed toward Wang Chong and Sword Ghost.

”Young Master!”

”Young Master is here!”

Elder Song and the others were ecstatic to hear this voice, and they now charged at Wang Chong without apprehension.

”Hmph, what does it matter if you're here!?”

Wang Chong had noticed Li Junxian the moment he had appeared, but he could not possibly allow him to save Sword Ghost.

”Ah!”

In a golden flash of light, Wang Chong thrust his palm down toward the earth.

Boundless Stellar Energy descended, swatting the retreating Sword Ghost out of the air and into the ground and causing him to scream in fear.
