Unlike other martial arts, the 'Single Character Consecutive Slash' was created by Wang Chong himself.
The principles behind its creation, meridians circulation, pulse circulation … Wang Chong knew every single detail of it like the back of his hand. For Wang Chong to cultivate such an ultimate technique, it was much faster than other ultimate techniques.
Leaning against the towering tree, Wang Chong drove the thin Origin Energy in his body to open up a brand new pathway in his body.
It wasn't easy to open up this' pathway ', but Wang Chong had plenty of experience in this field. What others would require hundreds or even thousands of tries to master, Wang Chong was able to accomplish easily.
Usually, he would only need two to three tries before he could succeed!
This was the benefit of creating one's own martial art!
However, even though it was easier to cultivate it now, the process of creating it back then was extremely arduous.
Weng!
A low rumbling sound could be heard from Wang Chong's body. Soon, he entered a state of tranquility.
"Young master has become a martial arts fanatic. If old master were to see this, he would definitely not believe it. "
Meng Long was taken aback. Recovering from his daze, he walked over to stand guard for Wang Chong with a smile.
The mountain peak gradually regained its tranquility.
After an unknown period of time, Wang Chong's body jolted. Finally, he had cleared up the main meridian circulation of the 'Single Character Consecutive Slash'. Just as he was about to clear up some minor details, a soft sound suddenly echoed in his ears.
"Someone's here!"
Wang Chong opened his eyes and looked down the mountain. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. The other party didn't seem to be intending to conceal their presence.
In just a moment, Wang Chong heard a familiar voice through the gaps in the dense forest.
"It's indeed Shen Hai!"
Wang Chong chuckled.
Shen Hai went down alone, but when he came back, he wasn't alone. Instead, he brought along a few guards from the Wang Family Residence, as well as a few bare-armed commoners. Every single one of them carried tools with them, and it was clear that they were here to help Wang Chong construct this' training ground '.
"Hehehe, Young Master. I've already taken care of the mountain range. We'll buy the entire area. Also, I've brought the person with me. We can start to build a few houses here … "
Shen Hai was in a good mood. As he climbed the slope, he waved at Wang Chong and the others.
"Haha, you've worked hard."
Wang Chong also laughed. Not only did they bring tools, but Wang Chong also saw that they had brought fire and food.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, he gasped in surprise. When he got closer, Shen Hai finally noticed that something was different.
"Young Master, you seem different this time?"
"Yeah!"
Wang Chong laughed. The last time he left the mountain, he was at Origin Energy Tier 6. Now, he was at Origin Energy Tier 7. Just as he was about to tell Shen Hai, Wang Chong's expression suddenly changed. A strong sense of danger rose in his heart.
"Be careful! — "
Wang Chong's stern warning was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the void. He raised his head abruptly and turned his head to look at a dense forest on Shen Hai's right.
At the same time, Shen Hai and Meng Long also noticed something amiss. The expressions of the two Wang Clan guards changed dramatically.
"Which female assassin is it?"
"Young Master, be careful! — "
Both of them turned pale with fright. To think that the female assassin who assaulted Wang Chong the other day would follow him here. This was especially so for Shen Hai. He was both ashamed and regretful. His expression was extremely ugly.
No matter how slow he was, he could tell that the female assassin must have been following him all the way here.
Unfortunately, even after so long, he hadn't noticed anything.
"Protect the young master!"
Shen Hai, Meng Long, and the other Wang Family guards bellowed. Without any hesitation, they dashed toward the direction of the forest.
"Get out of the way, you're no match for him!"
Wang Chong shouted anxiously.
If Ablonodan and Arloja were here, that would be the case. With just them, it was impossible for them to stop that Eastern Islands female assassin.
"Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness!"
A light harrumph sounded from the forest. The voice was indescribably elegant, but in Wang Chong's ears, it was the sound of death. Sou! The leaves swayed, and a black shadow shot out from the treetops on the right like an arrow. Her movements were like that of a ghost. Not only was she fast, but she was also like a ghost, twisting and turning, completely unpredictable.
Wang Chong's judgment of her wasn't wrong. Amidst the towering ancient trees, this was her battlefield. Executing the Spectre Steps here was much more unpredictable than on flat ground.
Peng peng peng!
The black silhouette flashed by, and the three Wang Family guards that Shen Hai brought with him were sent flying like rubber balls. In a one-on-one fight, no one was a match for her.
Sou!
With just a slight shake of her body, the Eastern Islands female assassin easily evaded Shen Hai and Meng Long, heading straight for Wang Chong.
From start to finish, it didn't even take a single breath. Seeing this, Wang Chong's scalp went numb, and he felt an intense threat of death looming over him.
Weng!
Without any hesitation, Wang Chong immediately executed the Single Character Consecutive Slash. However, he didn't slash at the Eastern Islands female assassin. Instead, as though a bolt of lightning, he dashed forward.
Having crossed blows with her once, Wang Chong knew that this Eastern Islands female assassin was a True Martial realm expert. In this forest, even if everyone were to work together, they wouldn't be a match for her.
"Li Zhuxin, aren't you going to come out? — — "
Feeling the incomparably sharp Sword Intent trailing him like a shadow, Wang Chong couldn't hold it in any longer. He abruptly turned to the surroundings and shouted loudly.
As though responding to Wang Chong's voice, a deep and calm voice suddenly sounded from the forest:
"Lady, stop!"
"Boom!"
Before the voice could finish, several zhang behind Wang Chong, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth. Boom! A deafening explosion sounded, and a raging gale blew, causing countless trees to bend. The Eastern Islands female assassin's head was facing the ground. When her sword struck the ground, it was as though she had struck an invisible wall. The immense force sent her flying several dozen zhang away.
"Li Zhuxin! — — "
Shen Hai and Meng Long saw the figure that suddenly appeared behind Wang Chong, and they were dumbfounded. This person was the middle-aged gray-robed man whom Wang Chong had hired for five thousand gold taels from the 'Home of the Four Seas'.
Not only was Li Zhuxin's hiring price ridiculously high, he even had a bunch of lousy rules, such as coming and going as he pleased.
After receiving the first sum of money, he left on the same day.
This left the two loyal guards, Shen Hai and Meng Long, extremely dissatisfied. How could this be considered as hiring an expert, it was more like hiring a master!
Initially, the two of them were adamantly against Wang Chong hiring him, but they couldn't go against their young master's temper.
Just that, they didn't expect Li Zhuxin to be hiding here after disappearing for so many days. This was especially so for Meng Long. He had followed Wang Chong for more than ten days in the depths of the mountain.
Yet, despite such a long period of time, he didn't notice Li Zhuxin's presence in the vicinity at all.
"Boom!"
Just as Shen Hai was contemplating over the matter, another violent gale swept through the forest, causing one to be unable to open their eyes. The Eastern Islands female assassin attempted to use the Spectre Steps to bypass Li Zhuxin and head straight for Wang Chong. However, she was intercepted by Li Zhuxin once more.
At the center of the forest, the two of them engaged in an intense battle.
Looking at Li Zhuxin in the forest, Shen Hai was astonished. At this moment, the strength that Li Zhuxin displayed was even greater than that of the teahouse at the Home of the Four Seas!
"Young master has really found a powerful guard! To think that I thought that he had left! "
Shen Hai was astonished.
At this moment, he felt that the young master's decision was right. Five thousand gold taels might be a huge sum, but how could it compare to the lives of a few people?
In this aspect, the young master's eye of discernment was far more formidable than his!
"Scatter! Scatter! All of you, scatter! "
Suddenly, Shen Hai realized something and hurriedly shouted. Regardless of whether it was Li Zhuxin or the female assassin, they were both true True Martial realm experts, and their strength was simply too high.
The gale that the duo stirred up felt as though it was a sharp knife slapping on their faces.
A battle of this level wasn't something that the commoners could withstand.
The crowd panicked and hurriedly retreated.
Shen Hai and Meng Long didn't dare to get too close either. Leading the other guards, they hurriedly retreated. A battle between True Martial realm experts wasn't something that they could interfere in.
"Young master, be careful! Hurry over! "
Shen Hai and Meng Long shouted to Wang Chong while protecting the commoners.
"Un."
Wang Chong replied, but he didn't make a move. For someone as powerful as the Eastern Islands female assassin, who possessed the Spectre Steps and formidable assassination techniques, numbers didn't pose much of an advantage to her in a forest.
The previous battle was more than enough to prove this point.
His eyes were completely focused on the battle between the True Martial Realm experts. In the forest, a violent gale blew, and leaves fluttered in the air.
In order to open up a 'training ground' in the forest, Wang Chong had dug up a portion of the soil. However, at this moment, the soil had been swept up by the shockwaves from the battle between the duo, blurring one's vision. On top of that, the fallen trees made it difficult for even Wang Chong to get a clear view of the situation between the duo.
Just that, Wang Chong was still able to vaguely make out a few things from his previous life.
"There's something strange about this woman! … "
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes. Even though he couldn't get a clear view of the duo, he could sense that the aura of the Eastern Islands female assassin was in disarray.
Furthermore, compared to the last time he met her, her cultivation seemed to have weakened.
"Could the flaw in the Spectre Steps have erupted?"
Wang Chong was perplexed.
The Spectre Steps was a complete cultivation technique, and the higher one's cultivation, the greater the flaw. Towards the end, one's cultivation might even go berserk and explode.
To a certain extent, this was actually a method used by the superior in martial arts to control the inferior.
However, even though the Spectre Steps had its flaws, based on Wang Chong's understanding, it shouldn't have erupted so quickly!
Furthermore, for some reason, this Eastern Islands female assassin gave Wang Chong the feeling that she had sustained some internal injuries. It was just that she had suppressed them.
"This is really weird. I remember that Arloja and the others didn't injure her previously."
Wang Chong was perplexed.
"Lady, aren't you going to stop?"
Li Zhuxin's voice sounded from the center of the forest. Compared to the Eastern Islands female assassin, Li Zhuxin's figure was much easier to capture.
