Xiu!
Drawing a specially-made arrow from the quiver by his waist, Luo Chong held it between the index and middle fingers of his right hand as he walked over to the position Wang Chong pointed out. After which, he nocked the arrow and turned to look at Wang Chong.
Wang Chong was amused. How could he possibly not know what Luo Chong was thinking?
It was true that he wasn't skilled in archery, and he wasn't a master archer either. However, the reason why he guided Luo Chong wasn't through archery but through his own eye of discernment, experience, and judgment.
'Mastery of a single technique, mastery of all techniques'. Upon reaching the peak of martial arts, determining Luo Chong's height, arm length, center of gravity, and degree of correction was a walk in the park.
This didn't require any exceptional mastery in archery, and it wouldn't be affected by reincarnation either.
As an existence who had once reached Saint Martial realm pinnacle, it wasn't too difficult for Wang Chong to achieve this feat.
Even though his physical body was that of an ordinary Origin Energy Tier 9 martial artist, Wang Chong's soul was at Saint Martial realm pinnacle.
Of the entire battlefield, he was the only one qualified to interfere in the battle in the monastery.
"Await my orders!"
Wang Chong shot Luo Chong a glance before turning around to look at the monastery at the foot of the mountain. He remained motionless, and it was as if he had turned into a clay sculpture.
However, in his mind, Wang Chong's mind was working furiously.
"It has been a long time since I've done this! … "
Wang Chong thought.
Ever since his reincarnation, this was the first time that Wang Chong was using the strength of his previous life to interfere in a battle of this level with his Origin Energy Tier 9 body.
The mountain wind howled, brushing past the treetops, shrubs, and grasses. Wang Chong and the hundred Imperial Army elites stood motionlessly on the slope.
The entire world was silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the intense battle in the monastery.
After an unknown period of time …
"Release!"
As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, rumble! A thick iron arrow shot through the air. In that instant, it seemed as if the sky itself was being torn apart. The fierce astral wind slapped against Wang Chong's face like a whip.
This was the first time Wang Chong and the rest had seen Luo Chong shoot an arrow. In that instant, the world seemed to lose its color.
Buzz!
In the distance, as if by magic, a huge scarlet firestorm soared up from the ground amidst the heart-wrenching cries. Behind this scarlet firestorm, a figure miraculously appeared in mid-air, as if it had come up on its own, blocking Luo Chong and the toad head on the eaves.
Rumble!
The arrow pierced right through the chest of the Goguryeon expert, and the immense force of the arrow sent him flying through the storm.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, everyone who saw this scene on the hillside was dumbfounded.
"Young master?!"
Miyasame Ayaka turned around and stared at Wang Chong in astonishment, as though she didn't recognize him at all. This was a battle between Profound Martial realm experts, and even she wasn't able to interfere in it.
There were simply too many interfering elements in the area.
Yet, Wang Chong was actually able to predict when the Goguryeon leader would leap up, where he would appear, and even instruct Luo Chong to shoot him. This was truly inconceivable.
Despite having followed Wang Chong for so long, Miyasame Ayaka had never known that he possessed such capabilities.
"This … Isn't this way too incredible? Like father, like son. Has the heritage of the Wang Clan really reached such a level? "
On the hillside, the hundred Imperial Army elites were initially dissatisfied with the royal court's decision to assign them to Wang Chong. Even after Wang Chong led them in two crucial charges to disperse the organized resistance of the Goguryeons, their dissatisfaction didn't vanish completely.
But upon seeing this sight, everyone was rendered speechless.
Wasn't this young man from the Wang Clan a little too incredible?!
But the one who was the most shocked was still Luo Chong!
He was the only one who knew what had just happened. 'In a battle between experts, every second counts'. From the moment he nocked the arrow to the moment he released the bowstring, the Goguryeon leader hadn't left the ground at all.
But in the next moment, as if Wang Chong had predicted it, the Goguryeon leader leaped into the air and collided with his own arrow.
Throughout the entire process, other than pulling the bowstring, he didn't do anything else. All Wang Chong did was borrow his strength.
It's no wonder why His Highness The King of Song thinks so highly of him. This child … is too incredible. It's impossible to fathom him with common sense!
In that instant, countless thoughts flashed across Luo Chong's mind.
He was an archer, and only archers could win his respect. From the moment he had followed Wang Chong, it was only at this moment that Wang Chong had won his acknowledgement!
Luo Chong finally understood why The King of Song thought so highly of him. This young man's talent was truly unparalleled.
"Lord!"
A series of shouts in Goguryeon suddenly sounded from the monastery. Putting aside Wang Chong and the others, even the Goguryeon leaders were taken aback. Following which, a deafening roar erupted from them.
The two Goguryeon leaders exerted their monstrous strength, and despite being outnumbered, they actually managed to force Li Lin, Ma Yinlong, and the others back. Then, they charged toward the Goguryeon leader who had been sent flying.
"It seems like you managed to shoot a formidable fellow!"
Wang Chong was slightly taken aback, but he soon chuckled.
"That's even better."
Luo Chong's arrow didn't kill the Goguryeon leader, but the outcome was decisive. The three Goguryeon experts were already outnumbered, and it was difficult for them to hold their ground. If one of them were to be severely injured, they would be even less of a match.
More importantly, Wang Chong had made use of Luo Chong's arrow to break their coordination.
— — This was the reason why they were able to hold on for so long!
The Goguryeon experts were simply too familiar with one another, and their teamwork was simply too seamless. In comparison, even though Wang Chong had many experts on his side, they were fighting individually, and their teamwork was lacking.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion and several screams of agony, the battle in the monastery finally came to an end. The three powerful and vicious Goguryeon leaders fell heavily to the ground.
Around him, the ground was a mess.
【Congratulations to user for killing Grade-5 Goguryeon General Dae Hyeonseok! For altering the Fulcrum of Destiny, you have gained 3 Destiny Energy】
【Congratulations to user for killing Grade-5 Goguryeon General Dae Insoo! For altering the Fulcrum of Destiny, you have gained 1 Destiny Energy】
【Congratulations to user for killing Grade-5 Goguryeon General Dae Gyeonhwang! For altering the Fulcrum of Destiny, you have gained 1 Destiny Energy】
…
Following the collapse of the three, three voices sounded in Wang Chong's head.
"Hm? Dae Hyeonseok, Dae Gyeonhwang! "
Wang Chong was surprised. In Goguryeo, most of the generals who could use the word 'Da' before their name were of some standing.
Regardless of what they were called before, upon reaching this level, they would all change their name to 'Da'. For example, 'Dae Hyeonseok', 'Dae Insoo', and 'Gyeonhwang' represented their standing in Goguryeo.
"Dae Hyeonseok, this name sounds familiar!"
Wang Chong frowned in contemplation. Soon, Wang Chong recalled where he had heard the name before. Dae Hyeonseok, wasn't that the Goguryeon general whose real name was Lee Jiuhuan, who led the Goguryeon soldiers to raid and harass the northeast region of the Tang dynasty after the civil strife in the Central Plains?
During the civil strife in the Central Plains, he was the most hated Goguryeon general in the Andong Protectorate Manor. To think that he would die here.
"To think that he would be together with King Sosurim at the very start. If not for this operation, he might have returned to Goguryeo together with King Sosurim after the assassination, thus becoming a threat to the northeast region of the Tang dynasty. "
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil.
In his previous life, there weren't many people who knew that Dae Hyeonseok, or rather, Lee Jiuhuan, had infiltrated the Tang dynasty. Recalling how he had infiltrated the Tang dynasty with King Sosurim, it was no wonder why he led an army to raid the northeast region of the Tang dynasty so easily after returning to Goguryeo.
But it was a pity that he wouldn't have such a chance in this lifetime!
But soon, Wang Chong couldn't be bothered with Dae Hyeonseok anymore.
"Hahaha, I actually obtained five points of Destiny Energy. What an unexpected fortune!"
Wang Chong laughed heartily as he looked at the additional points of Destiny Energy in his head.
This was truly an unexpected harvest!
Thinking back, he had only led his troops to charge here twice and had Luo Chong shoot an arrow, but he had already obtained five Destiny Energy for nothing.
Wang Chong knew how difficult it was to obtain Destiny Energy, and he had experienced it firsthand. Up until now, these five points of Destiny Energy had been the easiest for him to obtain.
All he had to do was lie down and he would reap the rewards!
One must know that the three Goguryeon generals were Profound Martial realm experts!
Given Wang Chong's strength, he could forget about killing a single one of them. If he were to encounter them, he would have to think about how to escape. This time, it was all thanks to the Imperial Army general appointed by the royal court and Uncle Li Lin.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to obtain such Destiny Energy.
This wasn't just a matter of strength. Rather, enemy generals like them wouldn't appear alone. They would usually have a large number of elites by their side.
It wasn't that easy to kill them!
"It's a pity that such a good thing only happens once! There won't be another chance in the future! "
Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret.
After this incident, the Goguryeons had suffered a heavy blow, and they no longer had the ability to carry out any assassinations in the capital. Even the people from the Western Regions would probably be intimidated by this incident, and they wouldn't dare to carry out any more schemes in secret.
In other words, this was the first time in the capital that he had obtained Destiny Energy for nothing, and it would probably be the last.
However, it wasn't as if Wang Chong had come out empty-handed.
"It turns out that if I can kill an enemy general and change his fate, I can also obtain Destiny Energy."
Wang Chong fell into deep thought.
This could be said to be his greatest harvest in this operation. At the very least, Wang Chong hadn't obtained this information from the Stone of Destiny.
This was something he had learned through practice.
Although a general was only rewarded with one point, such as Dae Hyeonseok, who later became a 'threat' to the Tang dynasty's borders and had some status, only received three points, many a little makes an ocean.
