"You're seeking death!"
Wang Chong flew into a rage. No matter how slow he was, he still understood what was going on. Everything had been planned by the black-clothed man. He had intentionally allowed himself to be captured so that the black Fire of Mara could burn into Wang Chong's body.
"Hmph, I don't have time to fight with you. Just obediently wait for your cultivation to go berserk and your body to explode!"
The black-clothed man sneered. Before Wang Chong could reach him, his body swayed and he instantly vanished.
"It's just up ahead! Hurry! "
"Don't let them get away!"
Wang Chong had barely taken two steps when he suddenly heard the neighing of men and horses in the distance. Countless soldiers were galloping in his direction. Not only that, the commotion caused by their clash was so great that it had alarmed the experts of the City Guard and the Imperial Army. As far as Wang Chong could see, soldiers were surging in from almost every direction.
"I'll spare your life for now!"
Crack! Wang Chong clenched his fists, his eyes flickering with uncertainty. Finally, he endured it. His current status was far too special. If he was discovered by so many people of the City Guard and Imperial Army, it would quickly cause a huge debate in the Imperial Court tomorrow. At a time when the conflict between militarists and Confucians was at its most intense, this was not a wise move.
Bang!
Wang Chong immediately headed in the direction of the Wang Family Residence. The black-clothed man was right. The three flames clashed with each other, incompatible with each other, and they were currently violently clashing in his body.
"There's no time. I have to hurry back."
Wang Chong pushed the energy in his body to the limit and immediately vanished before the City Guard and Imperial Army could meet up.
As Wang Chong vanished, the black-clothed man who had just vanished once more reappeared in the air above a house not far from the site of the battle. However, his face was pale and his forehead was beaded with cold sweat. He was no longer as calm and composed as he had been a moment ago.
"This brat is even more difficult to deal with than the legends say. It's fine if the Void Escape is useless against him, but I actually almost died in his hands! "
The man in black looked in Wang Chong's direction and gritted his teeth.
When he first received the order, he was a little dissatisfied. He was just an ordinary king in the human world. Why did they have to go through so much trouble? They even had to take the initiative to let him absorb the Fire of Mara and cause him to go berserk. That was why he took the initiative to attack when he encountered Wang Chong, and even used the Black Flame Asura. However, he hadn't expected that even the Black Flame Asura would be no match for him.
What was even more unfortunate was that, according to the plan, he only needed to absorb 40% of the Fire of Mara. However, in the end, 70% of the Fire of Mara was actually absorbed by Wang Chong, causing his strength to plummet. If he did not leave now, Wang Chong would most likely die here before his cultivation went berserk.
"Bastard! This time, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover without at least half a year's worth of effort. "
The man in black's eyes were filled with hatred. The sound of hooves grew closer and closer. On top of the house, the man in black did not dare to be careless. Before the Imperial Army and the City Guard could surround him, he quickly fled into the distance and disappeared into the night.
…
On the other side, Wang Chong was as fast as lightning, flying through the night. In just a moment, the Stellar Energy in Wang Chong's body clashed and immediately became extremely chaotic.
Three different types of extremely pure flames collided in his body like dragons and tigers, and they quickly affected all the Stellar Energy in Wang Chong's body. Like a flame thrown into a barrel of gunpowder, Wang Chong's body immediately underwent an earth-shattering change.
From the True Martial realm to the peak of the Saint Martial realm, Wang Chong had absorbed countless different kinds of energy. These energies continued to accumulate in Wang Chong's body. At the beginning, it did not matter, but after reaching a certain level, the quantitative change turned into a qualitative change, immediately burying a bomb in Wang Chong's body. And the man in black's Fire of Mara completely detonated this bomb.
Drip!
A drop of sweat the size of a bucket slid down his face, dripped onto his palm, and fell to the ground. One drop, two drops, three drops … More and more sweat seeped out of Wang Chong's forehead. Without even looking, Wang Chong knew that his face was extremely pale.
Even worse, under the effect of the black flames, the eight extraordinary meridians in Wang Chong's body were simultaneously being torn apart and clashed by nearly a thousand different kinds of Stellar Energy. A heart-wrenching pain came from every part of his body.
Wang Chong did his best to suppress it, using his profound understanding and exquisite control of the origin of qi to try to guide it into his dantian. But Wang Chong could sense that he was about to lose control.
"I have to hurry back!"
Not far away, a mansion lay in front of him. It was not far from the Wang family's mansion. With a leap, Wang Chong flipped over the wall of the Wang family's courtyard and quickly entered the study without alerting anyone.
Rumble!
The moment Wang Chong sat down cross-legged, an enormous energy exploded from Wang Chong's body. Bzzz! At almost the same time, violet, purple-black, and black flames swept out of Wang Chong's body like whirlwinds. Swish!
Touched by these flames, the table, chair, bookcase, potted plants, brush, ink … everything in the study was instantly turned to ash. Even the stone tiles under Wang Chong's feet were pulverized, leaving behind a large scorch mark.
Wang Chong clenched his teeth, his face growing paler and paler. Upon returning to the study, Wang Chong could no longer suppress the chaotic Stellar Energy in his body and fiercely erupted.
Back in Qixi, when Wang Chong received the news of the retreat, he had vomited blood and fallen unconscious. At that time, his Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was already showing signs of cultivation defect. At the time, he had been able to suppress it, and it had not been serious. But later on, during the conflict between militarists and Confucians, it had only gotten worse, and these men in black had clearly noticed this, which was why they had come up with this plan. They would intentionally get close to Wang Chong and detonate the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art in his body.
This method would kill one thousand enemies while suffering eight hundred casualties, but it was the best way to deal with Wang Chong.
"Ah!"
Wang Chong's face grew paler and paler, and more and more sweat appeared on his forehead. The pain was so excruciating that Wang Chong's feet were soaking the ground. The thousands of different energies clashing in his body made him feel like his entire body was being torn apart, his flesh peeling off.
Fwoosh!
At the moment when the Stellar Energy in his body was at its most intense, Wang Chong opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood.
After vomiting this mouthful of blood, Wang Chong gave a long sigh. A hint of color finally returned to his ghastly pale face, and his breathing became much calmer.
"I've finally managed to suppress it for now!"
Wang Chong opened his eyes, a hint of worry in them. That mouthful of blood just now had seemed severe, but it was actually a special method to expel the Stellar Energies that were most violently conflicting and incompatible with each other from his body. If they could not be dissolved, then forcing them out was the best way to deal with them. But this would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. If he could not completely resolve the problem of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art absorbing the various types of energy, this situation would repeat itself.
I have to think of a way to resolve this problem!
Wang Chong said to himself.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was the number evil art of the evil path, the strongest art of the evil path. The only thing that could suppress it was the legendary Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art.
But though the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was powerful, its weakness was also obvious: the problem of incompatible energies. This was why his master, the Evil Emperor, had been plagued by this problem, his cultivation method crippled, his dantian destroyed, and his traitorous disciple pursued him. But even though his master had cultivated for so many years, this problem had only erupted in his fifties.
Wang Chong had only been cultivating for two years, but he was already facing a similar problem. And from a certain perspective, it was probably even more serious.
After all, not even the Evil Emperor had been like Wang Chong, wantonly slaughtering on the battlefield. He had absorbed so many top-class generals, even Brigadier Generals and peak Saint Martial Great Generals, and he had even comprehended the origin of energy. But it was precisely because of this that the problem had become even more severe.
Thump thump thump!
As he was thinking, there was a rapid knocking on his door, accompanied by the uneasy voices of Su Shixuan and the others.
"Milord, are you alright?"
"Milord, are you alright?"
The two seemed to have heard the commotion outside and hurried over.
"I'm fine!"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed, and he quickly came back to his senses. Gently wiping the blood from his lips, he stood up and walked out the door.
… …
Time slowly passed, and soon, the two months of confinement were over. Wang Chong had finally regained his freedom. This should have been a cause for celebration, but even Su Shixuan and Xu Keyi sensed that something was wrong.
For some reason, Wang Chong's aura was growing weaker and his complexion paler. This was completely different from the impression that Wang Chong had given them in the past. Not only that, Wang Chong was spending more and more time alone in his study, accompanied by strange phenomena. Su Shixuan and Xu Keyi had both visited Wang Chong's study and seen the completely incinerated mark, but Wang Chong had never mentioned it, so they didn't ask. They could only worry.
Swish!
Early in the morning, as Wang Chong was walking to the back garden, a sharp awl suddenly shot toward Wang Chong with a gust of wind. The awl didn't look very eye-catching, but it contained a huge destructive power.
Bang!
When it was still several dozen feet away from Wang Chong, a thick energy suddenly appeared, transforming into a steel-like barrier that blocked the awl. Ding! The awl fell to the ground, but there was no more movement.
This was the fourth time!
