"What's that?"
"How could there be something like that? No wonder we couldn't get out."
"But who wants to deal with our Wang Clan? They're too bold!"
… …
Everyone was shocked, and they were both shocked and angry. But for the black-robed men outside the walls, it was not as simple as shock.
Bangbangbang! The black-robed men lost their footing, vomiting blood as they dropped from the roofs.
"Bastard! This foul brat is using Lu Wu to deal with us! "
On the roof, the black-robed men were both shocked and furious.
The black shroud formed by the formation was powered by the Stellar Energy in their bodies. All of them were part of the formation. By using Lu Wu to crash into the shroud, Wang Chong was driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, indirectly using Lu Wu's strength to deal with them.
If not for the fact that Wang Chong was still trapped in the shroud, all of them would have been infuriated to death.
But this was far from the end …
Rumble! In the blink of an eye, there was another massive boom. The monstrous Lu Wu, who had just vanished, had been lured back by Wang Chong and once more slammed into the black barrier of the formation.
"Ah!"
Five or six black-robed men seemed to have been struck by lightning, vomiting blood as they dropped from the roofs. Lu Wu's strength was inconceivably vast, and no one could stop him.
Thus, Wang Chong had never even thought about stopping him, only luring him over to deal with them.
This was yet another situation that none of them had ever imagined.
"Leader, if this continues, it might turn into a battle between us and Lu Wu. Before that brat dies, all of us will die. Can you control Lu Wu so that he doesn't crash into our barrier? "
One of the black-robed leaders stood up and anxiously turned to look at the black-robed leader on the other roof.
"No! That brat is too crafty! "
The black-robed leader clenched his teeth, his expression more furious than anyone else's.
"He's been controlling where and when Lu Wu will appear. By the time I want to control him, Lu Wu is already gone. There's too little time, not enough! Damn bastard! "
Controlling Lu Wu required time, a very short amount of time. In normal circumstances, this would not be a problem, but after Lu Wu transformed, his strength and speed had greatly increased, and when Wang Chong wanted to control him, he simply did not have enough time to do so.
Moreover, the place where Wang Chong had lured Lu Wu to appear was constantly changing, making it impossible to predict. By the time he noticed, it was already too late.
The most hateful thing was that Wang Chong was still instructing the guards of the Wang Family to cover the gap with large pieces of cloth, so that their vision was always limited.
"I'll kill him!"
The leader of the black-robed men gritted his teeth, a sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before surged in his heart. Lu Wu's attacks had always resulted in death, and this situation had never happened before.
He had an indescribable feeling. It was like Lu Wu had become that boy's, and his group had become Lu Wu's target.
"Boom!"
Just as he was deep in thought, the black light barrier trembled, and another deafening sound rang out. On the roof, several more black-robed men vomited blood and dropped to the ground.
After losing several batches of black-robed men, the power of the formation grew weaker and weaker, and even the black light barrier dimmed. Compared to the beginning, the light barrier now clearly showed signs of dimming.
"Leader, what do we do?"
Everyone was getting more and more anxious.
"Wait a little longer. Once Lu Wu transforms, he'll get stronger and faster. I don't believe that he can keep it under control forever."
The leader of the black-robed men was even more anxious than the others, but his voice did not betray any of this.
At this stage of the battle, they had no other choice. Once they opened the barrier and allowed their target to escape, all their previous efforts would have been for naught.
In comparison, if Lu Wu could kill his target, the deaths of these people would be insignificant.
… …
At this moment, no one within the walls knew that Wang Chong's situation was far more dangerous than they had imagined.
Awooo!
Lu Wu bellowed, unleashing a torrent of violet flames at Wang Chong. The slightest contact with these flames would result in the melting of one's bones and blood.
Along with the torrent of violet flames was the long horn hammer at the end of Lu Wu's tail. Boomboomboom! Each blow of Lu Wu's horn hammer was incredibly heavy, and when it struck the ground, it would leave behind a large hole in the ground.
Under the assault of Lu Wu's violet flames, tail, and sharp claws, Wang Chong was constantly dodging and fleeing. Countless times, Lu Wu's violet flames and tail shot past Wang Chong's feet, and there were many times when Wang Chong was almost struck by Lu Wu.
This was like dancing on a tightrope. Death followed him like a shadow, and the slightest carelessness would result in death.
Boomboomboom!
Under Wang Chong's guidance, Lu Wu smashed into the black shroud again and again. In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Chong seemed to be able to lift this heavy burden effortlessly, but only Wang Chong himself knew how dangerous it was.
"Everyone, scatter! Don't get close!"
"Wei Guo, Wei Wu, quickly use silk to cover the gap. In addition, have everyone else stay away."
… …
Wang Chong's voice resounded over the Wang Clan Residence. Shen Hai and Meng Long had already been dispatched by Wang Chong to Jiaozhi to protect Zhang Munian. The current leaders of the Wang Clan Guards were Wei Guo and Wei Wu.
"Third Brother, I'll help you."
Wang Xiao Yao ran all the way here.
"Little Sister, don't! Hurry and leave!"
Wang Chong paled in fright.
His little sister had always had a rash personality, but now was not the time to be willful. This monster's strength had increased by several times, and not even Wang Chong dared to lightly touch it.
But how could Wang Xiaoyao listen to Wang Chong? Just as she was about to run over …
"Xiaoyao, stop right there!"
A harsh voice came from behind her. Madam Wang's words caused Wang Xiaoyao's body to tremble, and she finally stopped.
Boomboomboom!
Lu Wu's speed was clearly increasing, and he was becoming more and more dangerous. But Wang Chong had no time to worry about that. No one in the Wang Clan could deal with this monster, and luring it toward the black shroud was the only method.
Once, twice, thrice … Wang Chong was in a perilous situation, and Lu Wu was also successfully smashing into the black shroud. The greater Lu Wu's strength, the greater the impact on the black-robed men outside the walls.
Plush! The black-robed men vomited blood as they dropped from the roof. The force of Lu Wu's charge had been successfully transferred to them by Wang Chong.
As he watched the corpses drop from the roof, the black-robed leader's complexion became even uglier than a corpse's.
A simple late-night assassination, under Wang Chong's bait, had now become a bizarre race against time. The black shroud was the dividing line, with Wang Chong inside and the black-robed men outside as the participants on the outside.
The one who could persist the longest would be the final victor.
Boomboomboom! For a moment, both inside and outside the black shroud fell into a strange silence. All that was left was the black shroud shuddering in the dark night …
Once, twice, thrice …
After some time, there was a massive boom as the black shroud melted. Plush! The black-robed men vomited blood as they dropped from the roof.
All the black-robed men turned ashen. They had spent so much time and paid such a heavy price, but in the end, Wang Chong had used Lu Wu to shatter their defenses.
But this was not the end of it …
"Leader, it's bad! The city guards and Imperial Army are on their way!"
A black-robed man exclaimed.
The shattering of the black light barrier had caused a huge shockwave that had awakened many people. In an important place like the capital, the slightest disturbance would attract the attention of the city guards and Imperial Army, let alone such a loud noise.
"Woof woof woof …"
The sound of dogs barking could be heard in the dark night. Near and far, the lights of the houses were lit up. The families heard the commotion and got up from their beds in the dark.
"Who?"
"Can't you let me sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Why is there such a big commotion? Could something have happened?"
…
Hearing these voices, the black-robed leader's expression became extremely unsightly. As far as the eye could see, even the nearby area was lit up. Through the window, he could see figures moving about inside, as if someone was preparing to put on their clothes and come out to check.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before they were completely exposed.
"Leader, what should we do?"
An anxious urging voice rang in his ears again.
"Wait, wait a little longer. I can already control Lu Wu."
The black-robed leader gritted his teeth.
"But we're running out of time! The city guards and imperial guards have already rushed over. "
A black-robed man said.
No matter what, they could not attract too much attention in the capital. This was the most basic principle of their operations. If they were exposed, all of them would die.
This was why when they assassinated someone, they had to be stealthy and even set up a black light barrier array formation barrier.
There wasn't much time left!
The black-robed man said nothing, his eyes shifting. He wanted to delay a little longer so that he could control Lu Wu to kill Wang Chong, but Wang Chong had clearly predicted this move.
The moment the barrier disappeared, Wang Chong had already retreated back into the Wang Family Residence. Moreover, the entire Wang Family Residence had been covered in silks and satin, limiting one's vision.
Killing Wang Chong was not something that could be accomplished in a short amount of time, at least not before the city guards and Imperial Army arrived.
"Leader?!"
The black-robed man urged once more.
"Damn it! Even if I can't kill that brat, I won't let the Wang Family off easy. "
The black-robed leader clenched his teeth, his heart filled with unwillingness.
"Let Lu Wu raze the Wang Family Residence to the ground. After half an incense stick's worth of time, we'll have him burrow into the ground and leave … Everyone else, withdraw!"
Although he was extremely unwilling, the black-robed leader had no choice but to give the order to retreat. No matter what, concealment was always their number one principle.
