"What am I doing? Didn't I say it already? I'm looking for a few friends. "
Wang Chong faintly smiled.
Although Qin Jiucheng's martial arts were not bad, he was not the Qin Jiucheng of the future. In the Wushang Iron Cavalry, Qin Jiucheng was ranked last among the ten generals under Wang Chong. If he wanted to grow into the future "Lord Jiu" who could devise strategies, he would probably need some time.
Now was not the time to talk or interact with him too deeply.
"Let's go!"
Wang Chong waved his hand and stepped over the Wushang villagers, continuing forward.
If he wanted to recruit the Wushang villagers, he had to go through the Wushang Village Chief, who was also the grandfather of the little girl, Fang Xiaoyan.
"You still dare to be so impudent in our Wushang Village. Do you really think this is still your territory?"
Just when Wang Chong was about to step past the Wushang villagers and enter the village, a bone-chilling voice rang out in his ear. "You're right, Wang Chong. In that instant, it was as if they had gone from a hot summer to a cold winter. Everyone felt their bodies shiver. Then, they saw a huge "stone" fall from the sky, smashing towards Wang Chong.
"What is that!"
A guard suddenly cried out involuntarily.
At first glance, everyone thought that it was a huge "stone". However, when the stone opened its fingers, everyone suddenly realized that it was not a stone at all, but a huge stone palm.
"Boom!"
The stone fist smashed down, and the earth shook. Billowing dust rose into the sky and spread everywhere. In front of the stone fist, Wang Chong's robes fluttered. He stood not far away and dodged the attack by a hair's breadth.
"It's him!"
Wang Chong squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. There was a solemn look in his eyes, completely different from the relaxed look he had before.
In that instant, everyone could clearly see that what appeared in front of Wang Chong was not a huge rock, but a 30-meter-tall stone giant that looked like a military general. When everyone looked up, the giant only had one hand and one leg.
But in the next moment, the cliffs on both sides rumbled loudly. Cracks appeared on the precipitous cliffs, and soon, huge rocks broke out of the cliffs under the control of an invisible force, flying towards the stone giant's right shoulder along with countless gravel.
Rumble! In the blink of an eye, an identical stone arm appeared out of thin air. The assembly was complete, and it appeared before everyone's eyes.
Arms, right leg, and left ear. In a short period of time, the stone giant was completely formed.
Everyone raised their heads, seeing clearly that this was a giant that looked like an ancient general. His body was covered in stone armor, his expression dignified, making one feel intimidated. Furthermore, he was over 30 meters tall, which made everyone look like ants beneath his feet, tiny and minuscule.
Stone General!
As this thought flashed through Wang Chong's mind, he instantly recognized him.
'Stone General' was one of the best martial arts of Wushang Village. It could control all the rocks in a radius of one hundred zhang, transforming one into a stone giant that looked like an ancient general. This was the 'Stone General'.
This martial art was extremely powerful, and the Stone General that it transformed into was extremely powerful, belonging to the Imperial Martial realm. Moreover, as long as there was a large amount of stone around, the Stone General could be constantly repaired. This also meant that those who cultivated the Stone General were basically invincible.
Moreover, with such thick stone armor, no weapon would be able to truly injure the martial artist inside the Stone General. This was one of the powerful aspects of the Stone General martial art.
Wushang Village was surrounded on all sides by towering mountains and precipitous ridges. What it didn't lack the least was hard stone.
Thus, in this sort of environment, the Stone General's greatest power could be displayed.
But this wasn't the only thing that Wang Chong cared about. There weren't many people in Wushang Village that could use the Stone General, and Wang Chong could only think of one person who could do so.
Huang Botian!
One of Wushang Village's outermost protectors!
Before the great calamity, anyone who charged into the heart of the village would first encounter Huang Botian. Of the many protectors of Wushang Village, his' Stone General 'was the most superb. He was a classic example of an Imperial Martial expert, and his strength was far above Qin Qicheng's.
He was one of the backbone forces of Wushang Village.
When the otherworldly invaders attacked Wushang Village, he had used Wushang Village's unique geographical advantage to block five or six thousand of them, almost single-handedly guarding a single position. In Wushang Village, this person had been rather difficult to deal with.
Alas, Huang Botian later died in battle during the great calamity. He was one of the first core forces of Wushang Village to die in battle.
"I didn't think that I'd run into a martial maniac!"
Wang Chong raised his head and gazed at the towering, powerful, thirty-meter Stone General. His eyes narrowed, but he didn't feel the slightest fear.
Back when Fang Xiaoyan hadn't reached the peak of the martial path, she would occasionally bicker with him about this Stone General of hers, her Protector Uncle Huang Botian, who had reached the acme of perfection. Although his strength was astonishing and he hated foreigners to the core, deep in his heart, Huang Botian was a true man.
He was addicted to martial arts, and his greatest weakness was that. Anyone who could withstand three of his moves would obtain his favorable impression. Anyone who could defeat him would rapidly change Huang Botian's attitude toward them.
No matter where they came from, no matter if they were good or evil, Huang Botian would immediately treat them as a brother, acknowledge them, and treat them as one of his own.
There was once an expert of the Ouzan who had been chased by experts of the Tang Dynasty and accidentally stumbled into Wushang Village. In the end, he fought a great battle with Huang Botian. Huang Botian actually defended him in every possible way, and in the end, he almost ended up fighting with one of his own people.
In the end, the villagers had no choice but to let him go!
… He clearly knew that his opponent was an Ouzan who had appeared in the Tang Dynasty with ill intentions, but Huang Botian still did so. From this, one could imagine just how ferocious his martial obsession was.
However, although Huang Botian's personality was well-known in Wushang Village, almost no outsider knew of it. Even Fang Xiaoyan, who liked to bicker with him, would never have imagined that he would one day have to fight with her Protector Uncle.
"This is going to be interesting. If I can withstand three moves, I can win his favorable impression!"
Wang Chong thought to himself as he gazed at the massive Stone General. He seemed to be able to see through the layers of stone armor to the chest of the Stone General, where a mysterious middle-aged man was sizing him up.
To be honest, Wang Chong was quite curious about this Protector Uncle Fang Xiaoyan spoke of, who had a strange personality, who was addicted to martial arts, and who had ultimately died in the great calamity. Many of the experts of Wushang Village had died in the great calamity.
To Wang Chong, this was actually quite a pity.
"You're quite fast, but do you think you can outrun me?"
The Stone General's voice was full of energy, like a great bell ringing down from above. Just as Wang Chong was thinking, the giant stone howled as Huang Botian sucked up a boulder from the ground and, with a thunderous boom, smashed it toward Wang Chong.
The first boulder was still in the air when Huang Botian stomped down, causing the earth to crack. Boulders weighing several thousand jin were sucked into the hands of the thirty-meter-tall Stone General and then shot toward Wang Chong like cannonballs.
A second boulder, a third, a fourth …
Boulder after boulder flew toward Wang Chong like a barrage of cannons. In the howling winds, a boulder flew over Wang Chong's head, enveloping even Gao Feng and Nie Yan in its path.
Huang Botian's attack was clearly not just directed at Wang Chong. All the intruders were treated the same.
"Careful!"
The guards were getting more and more shocked as they dodged in every direction.
This Wushang Village was shrouded in mysteries, and they were getting more and more astonished. Those villagers who could move as if they were flying could be ignored, but now, a random person had appeared who could control the earth element of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The feeling he gave off was not one bit inferior to Longqinba, the leader of the Five Tiger Generals under Ouzan Great General Huoshu Huizang's command in the war of the southwest.
It would have been fine if Wushang Village was some famous strategic town, but this place just had to be remote and desolate. If not for Marquis mentioning it and bringing them here, they would have never even known that such a place existed.
Thus, it was easy to imagine the shock the crowd felt when an Imperial Martial expert had casually appeared out of nowhere.
"There's no need to worry. Leave this Stone Giant to me!"
At their most panicked and uneasy moment, Wang Chong's reassuring voice rang out in their ears. Hu, the thousand jin boulder that was originally smashing towards Gao Feng and the others suddenly shook in the air when it was still several zhang away from them. With a shua, it drew an arc in the air and actually turned around. Its speed did not decrease, and it smashed towards the mountain-like "Stone General" in front of them.
"Buzz!"
All the villagers of Wushang were stunned, and even Huang Boshi's Stone General clearly trembled. It was clear that even this martial maniac of Wushang's Outer Protector was shocked by Wang Chong's move.
"Haha, if I were you, I would never use this move!"
Wang Chong's laughter was still echoing through the air when a second, third, and fourth boulder began to howl through the air. With a flick of Wang Chong's finger, they all shot back at the Stone General with astonishing speed.
Not a single one of the boulders that Huang Botian had thrown out had been able to pose any real threat to him.
"Damn it!"
Huang Botian was infuriated. With a fierce punch, he sent Wang Chong's Boulder Smashing Fist back at him. He had lived in Wushang for so long, but he had never encountered such a situation.
"I truly underestimated you! It seems like a little move like this is completely useless against you. But you really shouldn't have used such a method to provoke me. I've stood guard here for so long, but no one has ever dared to act so impudently in front of me! Now, pay the price! "
