An expert!?
That was the first word flashed in Ye Chong's mind. He dodged the attack and made a giant swing. The lance knocked the back aggressively.
Crash.
The part of lance shattered as the specks scratched Ye Chong's body. Ye Chong could feel the ending of his lance being chomped away. He was swinging a wooden lance after all.
The technique of the foe sent chills to his back. That was quite the strongest foe he ever fought since the Battle Royale. But he did not have that grace to give compliments, the assassin was clearly striving to slow him down!
The reason why Ye Chong could travel in the crowd seamlessly was because of his speed and unpredictable steps. But if he ever got bogged down by something, like an assassin for example, he would be sieged at any moment, conflict would happen, a crowd fight would occur, he could not be confident enough to presume he would survive from another wave of that.
Ye Chong exerted forces on the ground and backed away speedily, with his lance directly impaled with his greatest strength!
The lance vibrated vigorously as it transformed into a stack of afterimages which frightened the assassin who was unable to react in time and took his dagger to block.
Clash.
The wooden lance broke, as specks showered the surrounding. Wails were heard everywhere. Ye Chong also was wounded by the broken pieces, he felt the aches with few pieces stabbing in his back. The flowing blood was chilling his back. And he began charging forward.
The assassin was... pretty much done for. Ye Chong's attack came in like a wrecking ball that whammed right not his face. Blood was spilled and he was sent flying, crashing down a few people.
Ye Chong was able to take grasp of that assassin's appearance for one second. It was a young man, of age about Wang Zishi's, with a plain appearance.
”Get him!” He instructed and let off a few painful coughs.
The villagers then realized what that line meant. That line also inevitably put Ye Chong into danger. The villagers had been attacking brutally, though their flow of attacks was highly disorganized, that was why Ye Chong survived. But thanks to this combat order from the assassin, the situation changed as the villagers nearby all aimed at Ye Chong, not an attack but a constant clinging.
Ye Chong was stuck.
Above the Victor Tower, the elderly looked down. He seemed confused, ”Who's that young man just now? He does not seem too bad compared to Wang Zishi, while being fairly intelligent.”
The village owner, the mistress pondered, ”Odd. I don't think I have met this person before. Very odd, how could no one be aware of such a great fighter?”
”Hah! Mistress, my fair mistress.” Chuckled the elderly, ”You too have that moment of blindness being unable to see talents.” The mistress was embarrassed as it would be her mistake on her job if she missed a talent like the boy down there.
”Well, sometimes I-” She was going to cook up some excuses but the elderly's enlarged eyes stopped her, ”Wait.”
”Why? What's wrong? Did you see something?” asked the mistress.
”He's not from the Wang family!” he stated gravely.
”No?” The mistress obviously was still out of the situation, ”But he's wearing a cloud robe?” The cloud robe was the apparel exclusive to the Wang family, specially for combats.
The elderly denied her reasoning with a shake of his head, ”The sword technique he used was not of Wang family.” The elderly was the authority at this so his statement could not be wrong.
