"Brat, you're too impudent!"
Zhang Shougui's calm eyes suddenly exploded with a cold light.
The surrounding Youzhou soldiers stared at Wang Chong, all of them dumbfounded by his actions. In the northeast, no one dared to speak to their commander in such a manner.
Wang Chong seemed to be referring to some farmer, but he was actually referring to their commander.
The first time, he had accused their commander of being obstinate and self-opinionated, and the second time, he had said that 'even the commander can make mistakes'. In the world, there was probably no one else besides this fellow who dared to speak to their commander in such a manner.
If he didn't know their commander's identity, his actions would have been understandable. But he clearly knew his commander's identity and still did so. This was simply audacious.
"This fellow … he really dares to say anything!"
At this moment, even Cui Qianyou and Tian Qianzhen opened their eyes wide, as if they were seeing this youth for the first time.
"… Originally, out of consideration for your father and grandfather, I didn't want to attack you. But now, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth! "
Zhang Shougui's face was grim. Wang Chong's actions had already violated the taboo in his heart.
"Boom!"
With a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Shougui extended a powerful palm covered in veins. His five fingers lightly clasped together as he clawed at Wang Chong. Boom! Golden light exploded and fierce winds howled. An enormous attractive force immediately engulfed Wang Chong, and like a paper kite, Wang Chong was instantly pulled into Zhang Shougui's hand.
"Not good!"
Wang Chong was alarmed. He had always believed that his foundation was deep and sturdy, and his cultivation was extremely stable. But in front of Zhang Shougui, he was nothing, as lowly as an ant.
With the pull of those five fingers, Wang Chong felt the air around him turn into a massive wave, sucking him away like a leaf of duckweed.
"Hurry and save the Young Master!"
"Not good!"
… …
On the other side, Elder Ye and Elder Zhao also paled in fright. Zhang Shougui's face was green, a clear sign that he had been angered. The two of them had heard rumors of the Andong Protector-General's style.
If the Young Master really fell into his hands, he would definitely not have a good ending!
Bang!
Taking advantage of the powerful distance between them and Wang Chong, Elder Ye and Elder Zhao's broad and powerful palms, one on the left and one on the right, in a flash, the moment Wang Chong was sent flying, they suddenly grabbed his ankle, pulled him back and fixed him in the air.
"Let him go!"
Almost at the same time, the sky was filled with dragon roars. Li Siye held the huge WuZi Steel Saber on his back, and suddenly, a majestic white saber aura soared into the sky.
This blade cut through the void, cut through the dark clouds, and cut through the endless starry sky.
Rumble! Li Siye's saber was several dozen zhang long, transforming into a massive storm of saber energy that caused the heavens to pale as it slashed down at Zhang Shougui.
"Good saber technique!"
Zhang Shougui's eyes flashed. The elegance of Li Siye's saber had even made him raise his eyebrows in surprise.
"… But your cultivation is too low. It's still not enough!"
Standing still, Zhang Shougui pushed his right hand out. Boom! In a flash of golden light, a massive golden palm, one hundred zhang away from Zhang Shougui, loomed over him like a mountain.
Rumble! Li Siye's Saber Qi slashed down from the sky and collided with the huge golden palm that was over 100 meters tall. Instantly, it was as if it had collided with a shapeless mountain, and it suddenly stopped.
Not only that, but the rebounding force of the giant golden hand even shattered Li Siye's indestructible Saber Qi Storm.
"This …"
Li Siye's expression froze, his eyes going wide. This attack had gathered all the energy in his body, making it practically his strongest attack. Back then, he had gone alone to the northwest and even killed Black Dragon Zhao.
But a casual push from Zhang Shougui had shattered his saber into pieces.
However, before Li Siye could think further, in the next moment, the giant golden hand suddenly transformed into a golden storm of Stellar Energy and bounced back, crashing into Li Siye.
"Ah! — "
With a scream, Li Siye's body trembled as he was sent flying like a ragged kite.
Li Siye was still far from reaching his peak. The future 'Invincible Great General' was still far from meeting the current 'Titan of the Empire'.
"It's your turn now!"
A callous voice resounded in the ears of the crowd. No one had seen how this Protector-General had vanished, only that when they next saw him, he was only several zhang away from Elder Ye and Elder Zhao.
"Boom!"
The most gentle and genial air instantly transformed into the fiercest storm. Elder Ye and Elder Zhao, one half a step into the Imperial Martial realm and the other at the peak of the Profound Martial realm, had been generals who had followed Wang Chong's grandfather on the northern expedition. But in the face of Zhang Shougui, who was at the zenith of his power, they instantly screamed as the powerful streams of air exploded from Zhang Shougui's body, sending them flying along with Wang Chong.
During this entire process, Zhang Shougui still had his hands behind his back, making no obvious movements!
Every era had its own mark!
In the era of Wang Chong's grandfather's fame, Zhang Shougui might have still been an obscure soldier, but now that Duke Jiu had retired, it was the era of 'Wang Zhongsi' and 'Zhang Shougui'!
On the other hand, 'Wang Zhongsi' was modest and aloof from worldly affairs. As a result, 'Zhang Shougui', who had to submit to him, became the most influential and authoritative Imperial Great General of the Great Tang Empire's Han generals!
Right now, Zhang Shougui possessed a unique weight in the empire!
The only thing he lacked was probably the merit of 'assisting the dragon' and the most profound of qualifications.
This was also why he had always been lower than Wang Chong's grandfather and the Yao Clan's Old Master in the Imperial Court.
"Buzz!"
Zhang Shougui's expression was cold and callous. With a wave of his hand, he easily sent Elder Ye, Elder Zhao, and the others flying. Then, he raised his palm and grabbed at Wang Chong.
"Brat, it's your turn!"
Zhang Shougui's expression was cold as his five fingers clenched together. As he sent Elder Ye and Elder Zhao flying, he immediately grabbed at Wang Chong.
The path of Stellar Energy, the path of Yin and Yang, the body of hard and soft. Great Generals like Zhang Shougui had long ago cultivated all of these to perfection.
Sending Li Siye flying with a wave of his hand and sending Ye and Zhao flying was just a warm-up for him. He didn't use his true abilities at all.
Bang!
To his surprise, the moment Zhang Shougui's fingers clenched, he grabbed nothing but air. The figure in front of him blurred, and Wang Chong had already disappeared.
"This is … Koi Follows the Waves!"
Zhang Shougui's expression flickered as he saw that figure escape the range of his pull. For the first time, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Koi Follows the Waves was not a martial art, but a technique.
A martial artist of a lower cultivation would find it very difficult to escape from a martial artist of a higher cultivation, but Koi Follows the Waves was different. The koi followed the waves, up and down. As long as it followed the direction of the current, it could freely pass through any massive wave.
More importantly, the koi did not follow the waves because it was being pulled by them. It could freely control its movements and not be restrained. It could even follow the waves and jump out of the water, leaping out of the waves and completely escaping the current.
Koi Follows the Waves was precisely this sort of technique.
If one could not resist the pull of one's opponent, then one could move along the Stellar Energy and finally leap out. And on a higher level, in martial arts, it was not just a technique to resist a simple pull.
In a battle between high-level experts, one could follow the flow of one's opponent's Stellar Energy, find out the rules, and then take advantage of the situation to penetrate deeper and defeat the opponent in a single blow.
In the world of martial arts, the weak only used this sort of technique to fight against experts of a higher cultivation level. On the contrary, it was used more often against top-class experts of the same cultivation level.
But whether it was the former or the latter, this sort of technique required an extremely high level of skill. Not only did one have to understand the flow, nature, and variations of one's opponent's Stellar Energy like the back of one's hand, one also had to have a very high cultivation level.
If the opponent was of the same cultivation level as him, there was a sliver of a chance, but Wang Chong was only an insignificant True Martial realm martial artist, not even at the Profound Martial realm.
It was practically impossible to successfully use Koi Follows the Waves.
And when one considered the gap between the two of them, this sort of situation was simply inconceivable!
"Brat, get down here!"
Zhang Shougui's expression chilled. He was finally enraged.
But before he could attack, a roar resounded through the sky.
"Everyone, ignore me! Attack and kill An Yaluoshan! … "
Zhang Shougui was obstinate and wouldn't listen to anything Wang Chong said. The only person Wang Chong cared about right now was An Yaluoshan!
Zhang Shougui believed that this operation would be over once he was captured. But he was wrong. As long as he could kill An Yaluoshan, Wang Chong didn't care what price he had to pay.
As for himself, Wang Chong no longer cared!
No matter who it was that appeared, Wang Chong would not give up this opportunity so easily.
"Elder Zhang, Uncle Huang, don't worry about me! Kill him! … "
Wang Chong's voice resounded through the sky!
This mournful cry was like a signal, once again rousing the people in all directions. No one wanted to deal with the empire's Protector-General.
But there was no doubt that none of them wished for Wang Chong to die here or be taken away by Zhang Shougui.
