"Yes, Young Master!"
"Didn't you hear? Go! "
… …
The group of guards immediately flew away.
"Madam, Young Master, it's bad! … "
Not long after the guards dispersed, a panicked shout came from the direction of the Wang Family's main gate. A butler dressed in brown, who had gone out to seek reinforcements under Madam Wang's orders, ran over in panic with a group of maids and servants. As he ran, he shouted, "What are you waiting for?"
"… The gate has been blocked by something. The maids and I have tried everything we can, but we can't get out!"
"Can't we even climb over the wall?"
A yellow-robed personal maid next to Madam Wang anxiously asked.
"It's useless. We tried, but we couldn't climb over the wall because of something. Big Sister Zhang's face is covered in blood, "another pretty maid behind the butler said.
The other pretty maid behind the housekeeper said. Her face was pale, and it seemed that she had suffered quite a bit of shock.
"Buzz!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. The distant Wang Clan maid was still confused, but Wang Chong's heart began to thump and sink.
Wang Chong had only been guessing before, but he was now certain that besides this monster, there were many other people who had come to this ambush.
Moreover, these people were here for him.
Sword Pavilion … the black-robed men …
A thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind. He suddenly understood, and his face turned extremely unsightly. After the victory in the southwest, Wang Chong had become a thorn in the side of Ouzan, Mengshe Zhao, the Turks, Goguryeo, and the other foreign countries, a target that they had to eliminate as soon as possible.
But whether it was Ouzan, Mengshe Zhao, or the other foreign countries, their ambushes and assassinations were not beyond the realm of normal humans. Bows, spears, formidable martial arts experts … these were all within the realm of normal.
However, the scene playing out in the Wang family mansion had already surpassed the scope of normal martial arts. Whether it was the giant bell that had suddenly fallen from the sky during the day, or the humanoid monster that had suddenly appeared in the home and was massacring everyone, or the strange purple flame energy, or the unknown power that had enveloped the entire Wang family, none of these were normal martial arts methods.
In Wang Chong's impression, only the black-robed men who had raped and murdered the wife and daughter of Mengshe Zhao's Lord Gelofeng, the black-robed men who had pursued Jiannan Governor Zhang Wentuo, and the mysterious black arrow were capable of such a feat.
"These bastards are truly audacious!"
Now that he understood the situation, Wang Chong clenched his fists, his expression instantly turning furious. The capital was under the Son of Heaven's feet, with hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guards. It was also where the Holy Emperor presided, and the Wang Clan was a clan of ministers and generals, an important minister of the Tang dynasty.
This chaotic group of people actually dared to openly launch an attack in the capital, intending to destroy a noble clan of the Tang dynasty. This was no longer something that could be described as audacious, but completely lawless. There were no laws or rules of the secular world that could restrain them.
As these thoughts flew through his mind, Wang Chong quickly regained his composure. Anger could not solve any problem. Now that he knew that this monster had accomplices, the urgent task at hand was to resolve this problem as quickly as possible.
The battle has been going on, but there hasn't been any activity outside. The steward also said that something is blocking the outside. This means that these people are using some sort of special formation.
Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
The forms of martial arts were ever-changing. His father and Xianyu Zhongtong could gather the strength of everyone and transform into terrifying weapons of war like the Mighty Miracle God and the Vajra God.
And this was only one form of martial arts and internal energy.
Wang Chong knew that there were some formations that could form a boundary, but they were not like the black-robed men's boundary, which was so large and powerful that it could envelop the entire estate.
If all sounds could not be transmitted, all the scenes would be obscured … No, it was impossible for all the scenes to be obscured! The energy shrouding the Wang Clan Residence might be able to greatly obscure the vision of those outside, but it could not be completely obscured.
If the master of a mad dog could not see its target, it would be impossible for it to madly bite its target!
The walls!
Wang Chong hurriedly glanced at the surrounding high walls and suddenly understood. The residences of ministers and generals all had high walls, both to protect themselves and to prevent outsiders from spying on them.
But at a time like this, they were the best helpers for those people to block the vision of outsiders.
In other words, in the middle of the night, as long as the patrolling night watchmen, city guards, and Imperial Army soldiers did not notice, no one would notice. Even if the Wang Clan Residence was razed to the ground, no one would notice before daybreak.
… In other words, your positions are very easy to find!
A cold and harsh light flashed through Wang Chong's eyes. Boom! His body shot forward as he pushed the Phantom Movement Technique to its limits, instantly dodging Lu Wu's destructive blow.
A moment later, Wang Chong had an idea.
"Wei Guo, Wei Wu, quickly take some men and build walls in the northwest, northeast, southeast, and southwest corners to be three zhang high! If you don't have anything suitable, then use cloth. Start from the corner and extend to the sides, at least ten zhang! "
Wang Chong suddenly said.
"Yes, Young Master!"
In the distance, two tall silhouettes responded and immediately led the group of guards to fly away. The Wang Clan didn't have many other things, but they were bestowed with all kinds of silk, satin, and cloth. They had everything one could wish for.
This was a common situation among the clans of ministers and generals in the capital.
Swishswishswish!
In just a short while, the high walls at the four corners of the Wang Clan's mansion were immediately erected with cloth walls. On the perimeter of the Wang Clan Residence, a group of black-robed men had been so focused on Wang Chong that they didn't even notice what the guards were doing.
But when their vision darkened, cloth began to rise from the walls, blocking their line of sight. The black-robed men instantly fell into an uproar, their faces paling.
"Not good! Foul brat, we've been tricked! "
"This fellow discovered us!"
"Leader, we've lost contact with Lu Wu!"
… …
No one had expected such an abrupt turn of events. For the first time in their operation, they suddenly felt like they had been outmaneuvered by their target. Too smart, too quick to react.
Even now, they still didn't know how he had discovered them.
Moreover, all the cloth had precisely blocked their line of sight, allowing them to spy on the Wang Clan Residence and command Lu Wu's position.
"This is troublesome. In order to prevent outsiders from spying on us, we surrounded the entire Wang Clan Residence and even the walls. Now that he's inside with the cloth blocking our line of sight, there's nothing we can do. "
Another black-robed man who seemed to have some status stood up, his brow deeply creased, his expression troubled. They had made a cocoon of their own making. They knew that their target would be difficult to deal with, but they hadn't expected him to be this formidable.
In just a few moments, many twists and turns had occurred. This was only the beginning, but so many problems had already arisen. He suddenly understood why he had failed so many times in his previous operations against the target.
This was definitely the most difficult target to deal with.
"What do we do?"
The black-robed man subconsciously turned to the demon-masked leader. Wang Chong's actions had basically caused Lu Wu to lose control. This was already outside of the plan.
As expected, this target was rather unique, definitely one of the most difficult to deal with.
In the current situation, they could either remove the black shroud over the Wang Clan Residence, but this would play right into the target's hands. There was an extremely high chance that the target would escape or attract the attention of the Imperial Army.
But if they didn't do this, they wouldn't be able to deal with the target.
In truth, the best method was to command Lu Wu to tear apart the cloth on the walls. Crucially, they didn't even know where Lu Wu was or which direction he was facing.
"Rumble!"
Dust billowed, and a cloud of dust rose from under the cloth into the sky. Although they couldn't see or hear anything, just by looking at the rising dust, everyone could guess that after this wave of action, that brat was definitely carrying out some kind of operation.
And it was definitely something that would make them all uneasy.
"Damn it!"
The black-robed leader's entire body emitted cracking sounds. This operation had not gone smoothly at all. He hadn't expected so many things to happen to Lu Wu!
"Don't worry about him. Lu Wu will be fine for a while. And no one can kill Lu Wu. A long night is fraught with dreams. Hurry up and activate Lu Wu's abilities as quickly as possible to kill off all the Wang Clan members. As for the loss of Lu Wu's lifespan … if the higher-ups ask, I will take responsibility! "
The leader of the black-robed men gritted his teeth as he said the last sentence.
"Yes!"
The crowd roared in response. In the next moment, everyone got busy. One after another, ancient, mysterious, and extremely powerful magic arts were sent into the formation.
At some point, the black shroud over the Wang Clan Residence was beginning to take on a faint red hue. Strange talismans suffused with the aura of time began to flicker in and out of existence.
But for the time being, no one had noticed anything.
Roooar!
Within the Wang Clan Residence, Wang Chong's plan was reaching its most crucial point. In the midst of a few crooked plum trees that were swaying left and right, a piece of cloth wrapped around this place like a rainbow.
And in the middle of this curtain of cloth, Wang Chong's thumb was stabbed into the neck of Lu Wu. Below him, Lu Wu had gone completely berserk like an uncontrollable beast.
Wang Chong's judgment was correct. Once the walls of the Wang Clan Residence were covered with cloth, Lu Wu no longer focused on Wang Chong.
Li Siye and Wang Xiaoyao had both become his targets.
Most importantly, a monster that had lost its mind and had no specific target was far easier to deal with than a monster that was under control.
"Li Siye, move to the Kan position!"
"Little Sister, it's your turn!"
"Attack his eyes. As long as you attack his eyes, he'll lock onto you."
"Keep rotating so that the monster doesn't know what to do …"
… …
Wang Chong hovered over Lu Wu's head as he issued a string of orders. Now that he had found Lu Wu's weakness, it was much easier to deal with this sort of invulnerable, monstrous strength, blazing with violet flames, and yet lacking in intelligence and reason. All he could do was sink into madness and slaughter.
