Early in the morning, in the back garden of the Wang Family Residence, Wang Chong swallowed the consummation 'Tiger Bone Minor Cyclic Pill' which he bought from Six-fingered Zhang.
Kacha!
The crisp sound of bones cracking could be heard from within Wang Chong's body, and the acupoints all over Wang Chong's body emitted bursts of mist. Roar! The roars of a group of tigers could be heard in the air. Wang Chong had finally broken through to Tiger Bone 3-dan!
"The effect of this Minor Rejuvenation Pill is indeed much stronger than before!"
Wang Chong was pleasantly surprised. Compared to before, Wang Chong could clearly feel that his strength had increased by a lot. More importantly, after cultivating the Tiger Bone to Level 3, he would have truly reached the realm of Tiger Bone perfection. His strength, endurance, stamina, and explosive power would all increase by a level compared to before.
"Boom!"
As Wang Chong's palm slashed down, a rock garden was blasted into powder by Wang Chong. The degree of destruction was even more severe than before, and the scene was even more spectacular. Thick billowing smoke lingered in the air.
However, Wang Chong didn't feel much pain in his palm. This was because when he cultivated the Tiger Bone, his muscles, bones, and tendons had also been strengthened greatly, and his ability to resist pain and injuries had also increased greatly.
"Let's test my speed again!"
Wang Chong's eyes lit up, and he quickly swept his gaze across the surroundings. There were many trees in the Wang Family's mansion, and as a result, many birds were attracted over.
Some of the maids even fed them the leftover pastries in the mansion, which attracted more birds.
Wang Chong's gaze swept across the surroundings, and soon, he saw a white-headed weng leaping on the top of a tree not far away.
"That's the one!"
A surge of energy flowed through his body, and Wang Chong smiled faintly. In the next instant, boom! The surrounding air blasted apart, and a faint tiger roar resounded in the air. Wang Chong was like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain as he dashed over.
"Chirp chirp!"
Feeling the danger, the white-headed bird wanted to flap its wings and take off, but it was still too late. A slender, fair, but extremely powerful palm quickly closed over. However, it only touched him lightly before quickly letting go.
"Pu leng leng!"
Pulsatilla Weng was frightened, Pu Lengleng flew out from between Wang Chong's five fingers.
"Hehe, my stamina consumption has indeed decreased by a lot."
Wang Chong's chest slightly heaved up and down, looking at the Pulsatilla Weng flying away in the sky, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a satisfied smile. The last time he used this move, his stamina was almost exhausted.
However, it was different this time. Although he still consumed less than a third of his stamina, it was not as much as last time.
This was the difference between Tiger Bone and Panther Bone. Endurance, stamina, and Primordial Qi consumption were on completely different levels.
"Young Master! Young Master! … "
Just as Wang Chong was immersed in joy, Meng Long suddenly rushed into the room while panting heavily.
"Young Master, Young Master, you've appeared! The person you spoke of has appeared! It's not far from Zhou's Charcoal Liquor! "
"What!"
Hearing those words, Wang Chong's heart jolted and he immediately turned his head around.
…
Meng Long stuttered, but his words were vague. Even so, Wang Chong was still able to deduce what was going on from his description. Following Wang Chong's instructions, the guards of the Wang Clan set up an inescapable net around Zhou's Charcoal Liquor, as well as the routes where Zhou Wen once moved around.
Following Wang Chong's instructions, these guards were only responsible for observation. If they discovered anything, they were to report it to Wang Chong immediately. Just that, after more than a dozen days had passed, no one had discovered anything.
Until today, when an unknown old man suddenly appeared in the vicinity of Zhou's Charcoal Liquor. Meng Long and the others didn't know if this person was the one Wang Chong was looking for, but this was the only discovery they had made during this period of time.
"Is he the one you are talking about?"
Wang Chong stared at the figure several dozen zhang away. It was a white-haired old man dressed in black. He was lying on the ground, barely breathing.
There were quite a few people passing by, but not a single one of them glanced at him, needless to say, offer him a helping hand.
"That's him! Our brothers checked yesterday, and there isn't this old man within a radius of a few li. No one has any impression of him. It was as if he had suddenly appeared overnight. Furthermore, he woke up once in the morning, but he fainted once more. He seems to have been injured! "
"I had one of my brothers pass by that area, and he smelled a faint stench of blood. However, the young master has instructed us not to act recklessly, so we didn't take a closer look. "
Meng Long squatted behind Wang Chong and said with a hushed voice.
Wang Chong frowned and fell into deep thought.
Wang Chong didn't know whether the unconscious old man on the ground was' The Evil Emperor 'or not. There was simply too little information regarding that person.
Even in his previous life, Zhou Wen was very secretive and didn't mention it too much. Thus, Wang Chong had no way of knowing what the The Evil Emperor looked like, what unique traits he had, and what he liked to dress up like.
Without any of these, how could Wang Chong determine which one was the Evil Emperor and which one wasn't?
However, even though he couldn't confirm the other party's identity, there was one thing he could be sure of. The other party wasn't an ordinary person.
At the very least, an ordinary old man wouldn't suffer any internal injuries!
"Let's go! He won't be able to last long in his current state! "
As Wang Chong spoke, he stood up and quickly walked toward the elder by the base of the wall. The other party's condition wasn't looking good. Even if the other party wasn't the Evil Emperor, Wang Chong couldn't just stand there and do nothing about it.
This wasn't how he would act.
"Wait a moment, young master!"
Meng Long was taken aback. He hurriedly followed him.
There were people walking to and fro on the street, but the old man was lying on the ground with his face facing the wall. It was as though he was isolated from the world.
Wang Chong walked over, and from afar, he could already smell the scent of blood.
"This person's injuries are much more severe than what Meng Long and the others said!"
Wang Chong frowned.
Even though the old man had tried his best to conceal it, based on his experience from his previous life, as well as his familiarity with sword wounds, Wang Chong could tell that the old man had been stabbed in the back with a single glance. Furthermore, it was at the back of his heart.
"This is the work of an acquaintance. Otherwise, the stab wouldn't have been so precise."
A thought flashed across Wang Chong's mind as he stared at the unconscious old man. If a person was facing a strong opponent, even if they couldn't dodge, they would at least attempt to dodge. It was impossible for the stab to be so accurate.
Such a situation would only occur if it was done by an acquaintance.
"I wonder where this person came from. This isn't something an ordinary person can endure."
Wang Chong thought.
There were quite a number of mercenary bases in the vicinity, and Wang Chong knew of at least three of them. The old man's breathing seemed to be in a mess, and he was extremely weak. Even Wang Chong wasn't able to determine his background.
"Get some food and water. Also, get a few men to bring him to the Charity Hall."
Wang Chong instructed. As he spoke, he stretched his hand out to flip the old man over.
Weng!
Just as Wang Chong was about to flip the old man over, an abrupt change occurred. The white-haired old man, whose breathing was in a mess a moment ago, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were incomparably cold, and a fearsome killing intent could be felt emanating from them.
"This is bad!"
Wang Chong's heart skipped a beat, and a strong premonition of danger welled up in his heart. He immediately exerted strength in his squatting body, intending to retreat away from the old man.
But before Wang Chong could retreat, a withered but powerful palm grabbed onto Wang Chong's wrist.
"Who in the world are you?"
The old man's expression was cold, and his voice was stern. Wang Chong felt his wrist go numb, and all of his strength dissipated. Before the old man, he was unable to exert any strength at all.
"You!"
Horrified, Wang Chong stared at the old man before him. His entire body went limp, and he couldn't even speak a word. This sight was completely out of his expectations.
The old man's aura was weak, and he should have been able to defeat him easily. Yet, despite having just advanced to Origin Energy Tier 7, he was completely powerless before the other party.
He had no idea what kind of technique the old man used to grab his wrist, but he was actually unable to exert the slightest bit of his strength and Origin Energy.
Klang!
The instant Wang Chong was grabbed by the old man, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the surroundings.
"Release my young master!"
"Old fogey, what are you trying to do?"
"Hurry up and release the young master. Otherwise, don't blame us for getting nasty!"
…
Meng Long unsheathed his saber and led his guards to surround the old man. His face was incomparably steely. To think that they were still thinking of saving this old man a moment ago. Yet, in the blink of an eye, this old fellow actually laid his hands on their young master. Meng Long was shocked and infuriated. If he could, he would have sliced the old man into two.
"AH!"
The crowd exclaimed in shock. This sudden sight left the passersby dumbfounded. As though avoiding a plague, they hurriedly moved away.
"Hmph! If any of you dare to come over, prepare to collect your young master's corpse! "
Savagery flashed across the old man's face, and he tightened his grip. Wang Chong groaned in pain, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Old man … What are you … doing?"
Wang Chong cried out in pain. His voice was so soft that he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Hmph! Young man, do you really think that I can't tell? Your men are all around here, and they have passed by at least four times. Do you think that you can fool my eyes? "
"You must have been searching for something, right? Speak! Did that bastard send you here? "
At the end of his words, the old man tightened his grip on Wang Chong, and a sinister and murderous aura burst forth from his eyes.
In that instant, through the other party's eyes, Wang Chong could clearly sense the will of the other party.
As long as he answered incorrectly, as long as he made the slightest mistake, the other party would kill him without any hesitation. Even if he was in the eyes of the crowd, even if he was in the capital!
To this sort of person, killing another person was no different from killing another ant. It made no difference to him, and he had no qualms about it.
"This person … is the Evil Emperor!"
