Wang Chong dragged the two of them to a ventilated area before walking into the room. Retrieving a teapot, he poured some water on their faces and sprinkled some on their noses and mouths.
A moment later, the two of them slowly regained consciousness.
"Young master, young master, are you alright? W-we fainted … "
The two of them were still in a daze. Recalling what happened at the very last moment, their faces were filled with shame. They were all elite soldiers in the army, but in the end, they were defeated by these inferior sleeping gas bombs. If not for the thick smoke and the fact that the two of them were lying on the ground, as well as the fact that their attention was on Wang Chong, their heads would have been separated from their bodies by now.
"There's no need to blame yourselves. Those people came prepared. Putting aside you, even I didn't expect them to bring such a thing. "
Wang Chong consoled them.
"You two should rest here for a while. The sleeping gas shouldn't be poisonous, so you should be fine after resting for a while. "
The effects of the sleeping gas bombs were far more formidable than they had imagined. Basically, Shen Hai and Meng Long wouldn't be able to fight for the time being.
Wang Chong lifted his head to look into the distance. The battle was nearing its end. With Arloja, Ablonodan, and Tuoba Guiyuan pincer attacking them, the masked men of Charax Spasinu were defeated much faster than expected.
"Gongzi, are you alright?"
The moment the battle ended, Arloja and Ablonodan rushed over anxiously. While the two of them were fighting, the one they were most concerned about was Wang Chong.
Wang Chong was the savior of Sindhu. If anything were to happen to him, the two of them wouldn't know how they were going to answer to the High Priest.
"I'm fine. Did you manage to find anything?
Wang Chong waved his hands casually.
"There's nothing else. They have all committed suicide. "
The two of them replied.
The masked men who charged into the Wang Family Residence died horribly. Some of them knew that they couldn't escape, but they didn't want to be captured alive. Thus, they stabbed the curved blades in their hands into their hearts.
"Hurry up and clean up the courtyard. Don't let mother see it."
Wang Chong wasn't surprised. Upon seeing a few guards walking over, he instructed them and left.
"Is this the sleeping gas bomb?"
On the chest of one of the Charax Spasinu masked men, Wang Chong fished out a purplish-brown bewildering smoke grenade the size of a metal ball. Recalling how experts like Shen Hai and Meng Long collapsed to the ground the moment they inhaled the bewildering smoke, they were still feeling giddy even now.
"These guys are not afraid of the sleeping gas at all. They must have swallowed the antidote beforehand."
Wang Chong searched again, and sure enough, he found a small bag on the man's waist. There were a few dark purple pills inside, which should be the antidote for the sleeping gas bomb.
Wang Chong put these things together with the sleeping gas bombs he had just found into the bag and hung it on his waist. He walked around a few more times before returning to his study.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Chong's eyes narrowed. He immediately felt that something was wrong. There was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room. The window that he had opened when he left was now closed.
On the table, the draft paper of the seven-foot long saber that he had drawn was also gone.
"Someone has entered!"
Wang Chong's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that something was amiss. There were so many experts in the courtyard, and there were even Ablonodan, Arloja, and Tuoba Guiyuan around. Yet, someone was able to sneak into his study without anyone noticing!
This person's strength must be fearsome!
"Don't move!"
Wang Chong reacted swiftly. His body tensed up, and just as he was about to leap out, a chill seeped through his body and aimed at his back.
"Don't shout, don't scream! Don't expect to attract the monks from the Western Regions over! — — They are definitely not as fast as my sword. "
A cold, emotionless voice came from behind him. The voice was very low.
Wang Chong's heart turned cold, and his body immediately froze.
The person was a lady. Even though she tried her best to conceal it, Wang Chong could still sense it. Furthermore, the other party's strength was inconceivably high.
Even though she was clearly behind him, Wang Chong couldn't sense her location at all. All he could feel was an indistinct aura fusing into the darkness.
This aura could only be emitted by a single person.
An assassin, and a formidable one at that!
"If you want the WuZi Steel Sword, you can take it now …"
Before Wang Chong could finish his words, he heard the sound of footsteps.
"Gongzi, are you asleep?"
A voice sounded from outside. It was Tuoba Guiyuan's voice, and beside him were Ablonodan and Arloja.
"The courtyard has been cleaned up, and all the corpses have been disposed of. None of them escaped. If gongzi doesn't have any other instructions, we will be heading down to rest. Also, we found a dozen scimitars. Gongzi, how do you intend to deal with them? "
Wang Chong fell into a daze. Separated by a wooden door, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. In that instant, he suddenly came to a realization.
This person's strength was much higher than he had imagined. She had actually sensed Arloja, Ablonodan, and Tuoba Guiyuan walking over together without him noticing.
His sudden intrusion caught her off guard, and with Ablonodan, Arloja, and Tuoba Guiyuan walking over together, she had no choice but to restrain him in advance.
The darkness was silent. That person didn't say a word, but the chilling aura emanating from the sword behind his back intensified. The meaning behind it was clear:
If he were to say a single word more, even if it meant being discovered by Ablonodan, Arloja, and Tuoba Guiyuan, she would kill him immediately.
Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil, and his heart was thumping wildly. This was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation ever since his reincarnation.
This person was more than twice as strong as the black-clothed masked man from Charax Spasinu. Her cultivation had definitely surpassed Origin Energy Tier 9, reaching the True Martial realm!
Before such an expert, Wang Chong didn't stand much of a chance.
Ablonodan, Arloja, and Tuoba Guiyuan were only a single door away from him. If he wanted to seek help, this was his only chance.
Wang Chong wanted to seek help, but he wasn't confident that he could dodge the attack from his back.
"Gongzi?"
It was pitch-black outside the door, and it was impossible to see anything through the door. Tuoba Guiyuan, Arloja, and the others waited for Wang Chong's reply for a long time, and they couldn't help but ask.
It felt like an instant, but at the same time, it felt like an eternity. When an even more intense chilling aura emanated from his back, Wang Chong finally regained his senses.
This wasn't the time for him to call for help. Most probably, before Ablonodan, Arloja, and the others could barge in, he would already be dead.
— — Since the other party was able to sneak in without anyone noticing, he definitely had the strength to do so!
"It has been hard on you all tonight. Go and have a good rest. As for those machetes, they are top-notch weapons. Just leave them to Shen Hai and Meng Long. Leave them on the weapon rack in the corner of the warehouse. "
Wang Chong spoke, and a hint of fatigue could be heard in his voice.
As expected, the chilling aura behind him subsided, as though it was' extremely satisfied 'with his performance.
"Yes, gongzi."
The three of them did not seem to have any suspicions. They responded and then turned around. The sound of their footsteps became more and more distant, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
As the footsteps of the three faded into the distance, Wang Chong could faintly hear a sneer in the darkness, and his heart sank to the bottom of the lake.
"I know that you are sent by Mosaide. Since you have won, you can take the WuZi Steel sword by my waist. I only hope that you can let me go after obtaining the sword! "
Wang Chong said. He seemed to have completely given up on resisting. As he spoke, he reached for the WuZi Steel sword by his waist.
"Hmph, at least you are sensible."
A disdainful sneer sounded behind him, but he didn't seem to reject Wang Chong's WuZi Steel sword.
"Un? You are cheating! "
Before Wang Chong could retrieve the WuZi Steel sword, the assassin behind him seemed to have noticed something. His eyebrows twitched, and a cold gleam emanated from the tip of his sword.
However, the other party realized it too late.
The reason why Wang Chong sent Arloja, Ablonodan, and Tuoba Guiyuan away and claimed that he would retrieve the WuZi Steel sword was to lower the other party's guard.
On the other hand, Wang Chong's meager cultivation of Origin Energy Tier 5 deepened the other party's disdain.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't easy for Wang Chong to create an opportunity for himself. How could he possibly let go of this life-and-death opportunity?
Peng!
A metal ball-sized sleeping gas grenade was silently flicked onto the ground by Wang Chong's finger. In an instant, a thick sleeping gas spread throughout the room at an astonishing speed.
The sleeping gas grenade seemed to have been modified, and it spread at an astonishing speed. The instant it landed on the ground, the thick sleeping gas had already shrouded Wang Chong and the mysterious assassin behind him.
"You are courting death!"
A lady bellowed from behind. Killing intent surged, and the cry of a sword echoed in the air. In an instant, a sharp glint of a sword flew toward Wang Chong's back.
If this sword were to land, Wang Chong would surely die.
Weng!
Wang Chong swiftly took out a few purple pills from the pouch by his waist and stuffed them into his mouth. At this crucial moment, he executed the Submerged Dragon Wave of the 'Dragon Bone Art'. As though a nimble serpent, he descended from the sky and dove into the waves.
The darkness in the study and the sleeping gas grenade that Wang Chong had tossed out played a crucial role. Chi, a cold glint flashed past Wang Chong's back, slicing Wang Chong's clothes into two. At the same time, Wang Chong rolled under the table and pulled open the distance between him and his opponent.
"Do you think you can escape?"
A trembling hum echoed in the air. The table filled with teapots, cups, brushes, ink stones, and papers was smashed by a single palm. Wood shavings flew everywhere. The assassin hidden in the darkness followed closely behind Wang Chong like a phantom.
"Trying to play tricks in front of me, are you tired of living?"
The assassin flipped his right hand, and the sharp sword in his hand shone with a dazzling cold glint in the darkness. Following the assassin's hand gesture, the sword slashed toward Wang Chong.
Before the sword could even strike down, the surging shockwaves had already surged over with an earth-shattering momentum.
"Eat my hidden weapon!"
