“I only asked the High Priest about the secret behind the Eyes of the Gods. Why did he give this tal box? What does this all an?”
Wang Chong carefully examined the tal box under the light of the candles. It was dull and gray, appearing to have been made from the crudest iron. There was nothing interesting about it.
But Wang Chong quickly turned his focus to the small finger-sized crystal attached to the top of the box, the only thing that had drawn his interest. This crystal exuded a dim glow.
Just what did the High Priest an with this?
Wang Chong’s mind was in turmoil. He had tried multiple thods and had attempted to send in Stellar Energy through multiple directions, but the box remained unresponsive. Wang Chong had also tried to use Psychic Energy to probe inside, but the mont he sent it in, it would co out the other side as if the box was just empty air.
After making several dozen fruitless attempts, Wang Chong put the matter aside.
Buzz!
A few monts later, just as Wang Chong was preparing to put the tal box aside, sothing strange happened. The crystal on the box suddenly exploded with light, blinking jade-green.
“This is...”
Wang Chong’s eyes widened as his mind cleared up. As he suspiciously inspected the box, whoosh! A gust of wind blew in.
Wang Chong didn’t notice anything at first, but a mont later, he slled a light fragrance in the air.
Wait! Sothing’s wrong!
Wang Chong’s heart trembled as he imdiately covered up his nose and mouth. Wang Chong had sensed a strange odor in this gust of wind, not sothing that could normally be expected in regular wind. Another breeze swept in, but this ti, Wang Chong was able to spot several green grains within it.
Poison!
Wang Chong finally understood. Bzzz! Stellar Energy erupted from his body, quickly engulfing him. The candles flickered while the crystal on the tal box in Wang Chong’s hand began to flash even more intensely.
More and more green fog began to pour into the room, seeping in through the cracks in the steel house. In a few short monts, the room had beco a sea of green.
“Move!”
There was a hoarse cry from outside, and then the door banged open. A figure wearing a black tal mask flew in like a bolt of lightning, sorsaulting in the air as it flew toward Wang Chong.
“Hmph!”
Wang Chong coldly snorted. Fwoomp! The candles on the table imdiately went out as he turned a palm toward this man in black. Bang! The two palms t, and an enormous attractive force exploded from Wang Chong’s body. The black-masked man imdiately felt his energy surging like a river into Wang Chong.
“Not good! He’s not poisoned at all!”
Beneath the mask, the black-clothed man’s eyes were brimming with shock.
“Hurry and get in here!”
Clothes flapped through the air as more people approached. While Wang Chong was suppressing this black-clothed man, two other black-clothed people grasping swords flew through the air like ghosts and approached Wang Chong from the left and right.
Wang Chong grinned. Clap! With his palm, he threw the first man aside, shooting him into a steel wall like a cannonball and embedding his body into it.
At the sa ti, the two other black-clothed n hit Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy as if it was a steel barrier and beca incapable of advancing any farther. Boom! Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy exploded, sending both of the stunned n flying like they were ragdolls.
These people did not have weak cultivation and were assuredly elite assassins, but at Wang Chong’s level, only Great General experts could pose any threat to him.
But it was still far from over. After sending the two n flying, Wang Chong raised his head in alarm.
Rumble! Without any warning, the ceiling and roof of Wang Chong’s tal house were hurled into the air by an invisible energy. Imdiately after, a figure descended, its aura like a gigantic ocean.
Boom! Wang Chong’s eyes chilled as he raised his palms overhead, clashing them with the palms of the descending figure. Winds exploded as a thick violet-black fla shot toward Wang Chong.
This fire ignited Stellar Energy, causing it to hiss, and trails of fla as thin as tree branches flowed along Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy and into his body. Plus of black smoke imdiately began to rise from his body.
But before these black flas could completely enfla Wang Chong’s body, another Stellar Energy, bold and upright, erupted from Wang Chong’s body like a blazing sun, knocking away the black figure that had co from above. This person sorsaulted backward through the air and smoothly landed in the southeast corner of the house like a spear thrust into the ground.
“It’s you lot!”
Wang Chong’s pupils constricted, his eyes becoming extrely sharp. The familiar black robes and that familiar energy—these people were exactly like the group that had driven Lu Wu into attacking the Wang Clan. But the first incident had been in the Central Plains while the second was in Sindhu. Wang Chong had never imagined that these people would chase him all the way here.
Buzz!
Just as Wang Chong was about to pursue, three sounds suddenly ca from the three other corners of the house. Three identical figures with identical auras had appeared. It was impossible to distinguish them from each other, and all four had auras as vast as the ocean.
“Wang Chong, you truly should not have co here!”
A sinister voice penetrated through the darkness, drifting and indistinct. It was impossible to tell which of the four had said these words.
“You escaped last ti, but that won’t be the case this ti!”
Another voice spoke, and then the four attacked in unison. They made the sa movents and used the sa techniques, boundless Stellar Energy sweeping over the world. The energy unleashed by the simultaneous attacks of the four elite assassins was utterly stifling.
But though they attacked swiftly, Wang Chong reacted even more quickly. Boom! The images of the sun and moon appeared on his shoulders, and then the sun rapidly began to expand, its dazzling radiance engulfing Wang Chong.
The Stellar Energy of the four collided against Wang Chong’s manifestation of light, and not only did they fail to break through, their attacks were twisted and diverted so that they collided against and canceled out each other.
After working together with his master the Demonic Emperor Old Man to use the highest form of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to kill Qutaybah, Wang Chong had co to understand the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art even more. To Wang Chong, whether it was Yin or Yang, he could use them as he pleased, as if they were extensions of own limbs.
But just as this wave of attacks was neutralized, violet-black fla surged forward from four directions and shrouded Wang Chong.
Wang Chong’s Stellar Energy imdiately began to burn, hissing with the sound of corrosion. The violet-black flas once more began to uncontrollably spread toward Wang Chong’s body.
Wang Chong’s bold and upright Stellar Energy was incapable of hindering this fla.
In just a flash, Wang Chong had expended one-twentieth of his Stellar Energy.
“Great Shattering Art!”
Just when the four streams of violet-black energy were about to reach his ridians, Wang Chong unleashed destructive energy. This energy that was even darker than the night and absorbed all light erupted from Wang Chong’s body.
The four attackers were imdiately jolted away by this destructive power, and those four violet-black flas attempting to invade Wang Chong’s body were finally halted.
“This kind of fla again!” Wang Chong coldly said. The sensation this energy gave him was extrely similar to the Strength of Lu Wu, but it was sohow even more tyrannical.
“Hmph! This is not the Strength of Lu Wu that you encountered before, but the Fla of Ju Bi1 ant specially to counter you! No matter how strong you are, even though you’ve broken into the Great General level, you still cannot stop it!” The leader of the black-clothed n spoke once more, but his voice was still just as indistinct and untraceable.
The four assassins once more extended their fingers, from which four violet-black gouts of fla shot out.
The light of these flas colored the mountains a bewitching violet, imbuing the scene with an extrely bizarre air.
The Strength of Ju Bi!
This was a power even stronger than the Strength of Lu Wu, its corrosive powers able to completely disregard the cultivation of an opponent. Even Great Generals could not block it. This was a special ‘gift’ they had prepared just for Wang Chong.
“Go!”
Without the slightest hesitation, the four assassins began to move, leaving blurs in the room as the flas shooting out of their fingers expanded by several dozen tis, the light illuminating countless craggy rocks.
Bang!
The violet-black flas rushed at Wang Chong from every angle. These four worked in perfect unison, leaving no place for Wang Chong to retreat to.
The Fire of Ju Bi was their strongest move. With this terrifying fla, they had killed many powerful experts, including a Great General. Wang Chong would never be able to stop them.
But as these four were using the Fire of Ju Bi, they suddenly heard a cold laughter. Not only did Wang Chong not try to dodge, he actually rushed straight at one of the four assassins. Boom! Before the assassin could get close, an enormous stream of energy pierced through their body like a frenzied dragon.
