The Profound Martial realm, and an expert close to the Imperial Martial realm!
This thought flitted through the minds of the crowd. They were only ordinary guards of the Wang Clan, so how could they compare to an expert of this level?
"Buzz!"
A moment later, under their stunned gazes, Wang Chong raised a finger and lightly pointed, immediately blocking that vast and terrifying saber energy.
Boom! A scorching beam of Sword Qi shot out of Wang Chong's fingertip, shattering the saber Qi into pieces. At almost the same time, Wang Chong swung his left hand. Before anyone could see what was going on, the WuZi Steel sword at Wang Chong's waist slashed through the air, piercing through the giant man's thick armor. The tip of the sword pierced through his heart and out his back.
Clang!
The armored giant's knees buckled and he fell to the ground, the dazzling Halo of Thorns at his feet extinguished. The giant man's eyes were wide open as he stared at the nearby Wang Chong, apparently not daring to believe that his full-strength attack had been so easily broken by Wang Chong.
"You overestimate yourself!"
Wang Chong sneered and slowly walked over with a wave of his sleeve. In the war of the southwest, his strength had exploded, allowing him to easily break into the Imperial Martial realm. Even Longqinba had been easily killed by him, let alone an opponent of this level.
Moreover, the more majestic the saber energy, the better. Quality would always prevail over quantity. So Jung-son's Art of God and Demon Obliteration was known as the number one technique in the world, so how could ordinary saber energy compare to it?
Swish! Swish!
Wang Chong had barely taken two steps when his eyes widened. At the end of the street, he heard a shrill whistle. Three pitch-black arrows, gleaming with azure light, flew out in a triangular formation. The moment they appeared, they were already in front of Wang Chong's face.
Bzzz! Wang Chong's body slightly leaned to the side as if he had calculated it, dodging the three arrows by a hair. Peng, peng, peng. The three arrows hit a hundred-year-old locust tree by the side of the road, blowing its trunk into pieces.
Wang Chong easily dodged the three poisoned arrows. Then, his body flashed and disappeared like a wisp of smoke. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of feet away.
Boom boom boom!
Just behind him, another wave of arrows shot over from the opposite direction, passing by where he was originally standing. Just a moment later, a section of the wall behind him collapsed, smoke and dust billowing into the air.
However, everything was far from over.
"Kill him!"
Shouts came from all directions. After the two waves of attacks, figures suddenly tore off their disguises and whizzed in from all directions. The Hu, the Western Regioners, the Ouzan, the Abbasid Caliphate, and even the Han … These people had been following Wang Chong for who knew how long, and only now did they suddenly attack.
Swishswish! The first to arrive were the crescent moon-shaped Arabian scimitars. These special scimitars were only a foot long, and the front and back of these scimitars were flat. Only the two sides of the scimitars, which were covered in exquisite carvings, could be touched.
In truth, this was the only place where the scimitar wielders could borrow strength.
After the Arabian scimitars came countless weapons. The Hu, the Western Regioners, the Ouzan, the Arabs, and the Han were like hungry tigers, fiercely attacking from all sides. Halos after halos intertwined under their feet, instantly surrounding Wang Chong and sealing off all his paths of movement and retreat.
These Hu, the Western Regioners, the Ouzan, the Arabs … no matter which tribe they had belonged to, at this moment, none of that mattered. All of them had formed an invisible tacit understanding.
That was to kill Wang Chong.
"Buzz!"
Even as the countless scimitars and weapons were about to strike him, Wang Chong only faintly smiled, his expression calm and tranquil, as if these people didn't even exist.
Bang! With a light step, a blood-colored barrier of Stellar Energy emerged from his body, enveloping him like a bell. Clang! Clang! Clang! All the scimitars and concealed weapons collided with this layer of Qi, but it was as if they had collided with an iron wall, and were all blocked.
"I still haven't done my homework!"
Wang Chong scanned his surroundings, a cold and harsh light in his eyes.
If these people had truly investigated him, they would know that he was no longer the same as he had been in the past. He was no ordinary martial artist, nor was he someone who could rely on numbers to win.
It was obvious that these people had only investigated him for his outstanding grasp of the art of war, but they had no idea that his martial arts cultivation was equally astonishing.
"Li Siye!"
Wang Chong did not attack. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat out a name.
"Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, in a restaurant not far away, a tall, strong, mountain-like figure suddenly jumped down from the second floor. Behind him was a strangely long broadsword that was as tall as an adult. It was extremely eye-catching.
"Boom!"
A faint ripple flashed in the air. No one could see how Li Siye drew his sword, but in the next instant, a gray and incomparably sharp sword qi pierced through the air. The sword tore through the air, slicing the eight assassins at the very back into two at the waist.
The Sword Qi did not stop there. It shattered the stone tiles of the street, leaving behind a sword scar ten-some zhang long.
"Don't worry about it. Kill him first!"
A burly Hu spat out a string of Hu words. Disregarding everything else, he charged at Wang Chong.
But in the next instant, a narrow dagger swiftly slid across his neck, as well as the necks of the other assassins. Pu pu pu! In the blink of an eye, the remaining assassins fell to the ground with their eyes wide open, as if they had been reaped from a field of straw.
"Marquis, are you alright?"
On the other side, Li Siye retracted his sword and quickly stepped forward.
"I'm fine. They clearly didn't investigate enough for such a problem to occur. "
Wang Chong indifferently said as he slowly put away the narrow WuZi Steel dagger in his hand. This was a dagger he had specially forged for himself. Its original purpose was to practice his Sword Qi, but it was more than enough to deal with these people.
Clang!
Grabbing the WuZi Steel sword in the chest of the unmoving armored man, Wang Chong forcefully pulled it out. At the same time, his left hand lightly pulled out the helmet on the armored man's head.
"It really is a Turk!"
Wang Chong appeared unsurprised.
"It's not just the Turks. There are also the Goguryeons, Arabs, Ouzan, Western Regioners, and even the Khitans. Marquis won a major victory in the southwest, defeating Dalun Ruozan and Huoshu Huizang. Everyone now views you as a thorn in their side."
Li Siye worriedly said.
Wang Chong appeared relaxed on the outside, but he was tense on the inside. On the surface, he appeared to be alone, but in reality, all of his trusted aides were following behind him. In just a few moments, countless figures had rushed out from all directions. The restaurants, the inns, the alleys, and the two sides of the street were all packed with people.
With Wang Chong's current status, he was completely different from that of an ordinary scion.
He was no longer a 'scion', but a true 'duke'.
Just his title as the Son of Heaven's disciple meant that countless people were watching him, both in the open and in the shadows, protecting him. At this critical juncture, no one would be able to bear the responsibility if something were to happen to him.
"Haha, this is inevitable."
Wang Chong waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned. After experiencing the Asura Battlefield of the southwest, he had no reason to care about such a minor matter.
"That's right, didn't I tell you already? Why are you still calling me Marquis? "
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare. There are differences between superiors and subordinates. Young Master is now a marquis, and His Majesty personally bestowed the title of Young Marquis. If even people at his side don't respect Marquis, won't others be even less convinced?"
Li Siye lowered his head and respectfully bowed.
Wang Chong helplessly shook his head. This was Li Siye's personality. He was as hard as a rock. As long as he set his mind on something, no one could change his mind.
"I know it's useless to talk to you, so do as you please."
As Wang Chong spoke, he turned his head in another direction, where several familiar figures were hurrying over. From their clothes, Wang Chong could tell at a glance that these were people from the Bureau of Rites and the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
"Marquis, my apologies for being late. How are you? Are you injured? "
"Forgive us, Marquis. We will definitely strengthen our patrols and not allow something like this to happen again! These bastards are too bold! In broad daylight, under the bright sun, they dare to act recklessly in the capital? "
… …
Several red-robed officials from the Bureau of Rites and the Chamberlain of Dependencies kicked the corpses of the assassins on the ground, their mouths cursing.
But in front of Wang Chong, all of them had their heads firmly lowered, not even daring to raise their heads. Their guilty consciences were on full display.
This was broad daylight. If something happened to Wang Chong, the Holy Emperor would have to bear the consequences.
"Siye, go and hand things over with them. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Wang Chong didn't even glance at them. With these words, he took his leave.
The people from the Bureau of Rites and the Chamberlain of Dependencies had the closest relationship with King Qi. Of the Six Bureaus, King Qi's influence had penetrated the most deeply. Wang Chong would never forget the trials of the Kunwu Training Camp and the rewards ceremony not long ago, as well as what the Chamberlain of Dependencies and the Bureau of Rites had done to him.
A new emperor brought his own ministers. Back then, he had been a nameless nobody, but now, even the Bureau of Rites and the Chamberlain of Dependencies would have to look up to him.
"Respectfully sending off Marquis."
Li Siye respectfully bowed, and then quickly turned around to help Wang Chong deal with the aftermath. With so many people dead, there had to be an explanation. Moreover, as far as Li Siye could see, the people from the Court of Judicial Review, the Imperial Army, and the city guards were already hurrying over.
… …
"We failed again. This brat's senses are extremely sharp. This is the second time we've failed. "
"That's right! The people we've tried to kill have never lived to the next day. We've even killed people stronger than him, but our methods are completely useless against him. "
"If this continues, we'll be at our wits' end. And we can't let anyone discover us. If outsiders know of our existence, we'll be the first ones Master will kill. "
