"This is bad!"
After seeing Wang Chong's sleeping gas grenades and seeing him tossing out some hidden weapons, even the courageous assassin in the darkness subconsciously retreated. At the same time, she struck out with her palm, and an explosive shockwave burst forth, deflecting the 'hidden weapons' in the air.
"I've been fooled by him again!"
Realizing that nothing had happened to the 'hidden weapons' in the air after being struck, the female assassin flew into a rage. Previously, when Wang Chong presented her with the WuZi Steel Sword, he had already fooled her once. This time, she was fooled by Wang Chong with the antidote to the sleeping gas grenades. How could the black-clothed female assassin possibly accept this?
In her eyes, Wang Chong's martial arts were beneath average, but he was extremely slippery.
"If I were to let you escape, I would really be able to commit suicide!"
Seeing how slippery Wang Chong was, as though a leopard, about to leap out of the window, the female assassin flicked her right hand, and three short swords, each around a chi long and as thin as a finger, flew out of the window in front of Wang Chong, sealing off Wang Chong's escape route.
If Wang Chong were to forcefully charge out of the window, he would surely die.
At the same time, the female assassin's body jolted, and her speed abruptly increased by several folds. As though a specter, she streaked across the air and caught up to Wang Chong in an instant.
Chi!
A cold gleam flashed across the darkness, and with a clean slash, it flew toward Wang Chong's neck.
"Spectre Steps!"
Wang Chong was astonished. He suddenly understood how this person managed to get past the heavy guards of the Wang Residence and sneak in together with Ablonodan and Arloja.
Since he couldn't leap out of the window, Wang Chong immediately used 'Dragon Coil' to stop his momentum. At the same time, he executed the Stellar Steps and slashed with the WuZi Steel Sword!
Clang!
The crisp sound of metal echoed in the darkness. In an instant, the sword in the hands of the female assassin was severed by Wang Chong's sword. The sharp edge of the sword tore off a piece of her sleeves and left a sharp wound on her fair arm.
However, before Wang Chong could chop off the other party's arm, bang! An arm struck Wang Chong's chest, and a huge force gushed out like a flood. In an instant, Wang Chong was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, as if he had suffered a heavy injury. He smashed heavily into the wall with a bang, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his face was as pale as paper.
"What a sharp sword!"
In the darkness, the female assassin raised her hand. There was a faint wound on her arm, and it was incomparably sharp. Glancing at the WuZi Steel Sword in Wang Chong's hands, a hint of fear flashed across the female assassin's eyes.
"I heard that the number one swordsmith in the world appeared in the Tang dynasty, but I didn't believe it. It seems like it's you. — — Let me ask you something. Are you able to forge this sword? "
The female assassin flicked her wrist, and a piece of xuan paper appeared in her hands. On it was the seven chi long narrow saber drawn by Wang Chong.
After an intense battle, the female assassin didn't continue pursuing Wang Chong. Instead, she asked about an unimportant drawing. If it was anyone else, they would surely find it bizarre.
However, Wang Chong wasn't surprised at all.
As Wang Chong glanced at the three conical daggers stuck on the windowsill, a thought flashed through his mind.
"This is fate!"
Wang Chong sighed.
There was no such bizarre weapon in the Central Plains. In fact, in the entire continent, including Charax Spasinu and Abbasid Caliphate, no one knew how to use such a weapon.
In Wang Chong's memories, there was only one place that knew how to use such a weapon. In another time-space continuum, that place was known as Japan. In this world, it was known as the Ten Islands of Japan. They were ten islands in the eastern seas, a place ruled by female supremacy, a place where martial arts were mainly focused on hacking and slashing.
Wang Chong didn't expect that the seven chi long narrow saber he created using the Japanese katana as the foundation would attract the Eastern Islands female assassin from the same place in this world.
All of this seemed to be fated!
This was probably the reason why she didn't make a move immediately when he first entered the room!
"Yes!"
Even though such thoughts flashed across his mind, Wang Chong replied without the slightest hesitation.
Hearing Wang Chong's words, the female assassin stared at Wang Chong, and a complicated expression suddenly appeared in her eyes. But soon, the female assassin regained her cold demeanor.
"What is hard is easy to break. The longer the sword, the easier it is to break in battle. This saber of yours is seven chi long, almost as tall as a human. Compared to ordinary swords, it is much easier for it to break. How do you plan to overcome this problem? "
The female assassin's voice was calm, but there was a chilling killing intent in the air. It felt as though as long as Wang Chong were to give a wrong answer, she would immediately kill him.
However, Wang Chong wasn't nervous at all.
"Hahaha, regardless of whether you believe me or not, if I say it's possible, it's naturally possible!"
Wang Chong chuckled. Immense confidence flowed from his eyes.
The longer a sword, the easier it was to break. This was the greatest problem in forging swords and sabers. Before Wang Chong, it wasn't that no one had thought of forging longer swords and sabers. Other than the problem of weight and inconvenience in usage, a bigger problem was that these swords and sabers were much easier to break than ordinary swords and sabers.
Just like what this female assassin said, the harder it was, the easier it was to break. If one couldn't solve this problem, forging longer swords and sabers would be meaningless.
However, this problem didn't exist for Wang Chong.
Wang Chong knew of a unique forging technique that could avoid this problem. This forging technique was known as' tempering '. It could greatly increase the toughness of a weapon, and by complementing it with some other techniques during the forging process, this problem could be solved.
However, Wang Chong wouldn't tell this to the female assassin.
In this world, other than Wang Chong, there was no one who knew of this forging technique, needless to say, forging it. This was the unique forging technique that Wang Chong possessed.
If not for this confidence, Wang Chong wouldn't have designed such a thick, narrow, and slender saber!
The black-clothed female assassin stared intently at Wang Chong, as though trying to peer into his heart to see if he was lying or not! Wang Chong also did not avoid her gaze, openly and openly meeting it without the slightest hesitation.
"Hmph! The number one swordsmith in the world, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip with me. As long as you forge a sword like this for me, I might be able to grant you a swift death after this. — — Don't try to resist, and don't try to shout. You won't get the chance! This time, I'm only throwing you off the wall. The next time, it won't be so simple! "
As the female assassin spoke, she suddenly raised her right hand and raised the broken sword that was gleaming coldly. At the same time, her left hand reached out to grab the other three short swords. She seemed to have made up her mind to kidnap Wang Chong to forge a sword for her alone.
Even though her sword had been broken by Wang Chong, the female assassin wasn't worried at all. Wang Chong had already been injured by her palm strike. He wasn't a match for her even when he was at his peak, needless to say, at his current state.
Even a broken sword was more than enough for her to deal with him.
"Clack!"
With light footsteps, the female assassin walked toward Wang Chong. Her footsteps were calm and firm, as though Wang Chong was already a fish in her palm.
"Heh, do you know that you're already at death's door? To think that you would still be in the mood for me to forge a sword for you. "
Seated on the floor, Wang Chong suddenly chuckled.
"There's no need to waste your effort and breath. Do you think that I'll believe you? "
The female assassin sneered. Her footsteps didn't stop in the slightest as she walked toward Wang Chong.
"Heh, I knew that you would do this. If I'm not wrong, you should be practicing the Spectre Steps, right? "
Wang Chong suddenly said with a smile.
Weng!
A moment ago, the female assassin was still mocking Wang Chong, but upon hearing the words' Spectre Steps', her body trembled and she abruptly came to a halt.
"The Spectre Steps allows one to traverse through the darkness as though a specter. You must have relied on this to sneak in, right? I don't know where you learned the Spectre Steps from, but do you know that the Spectre Steps is actually in conflict with most cultivation techniques? The more you cultivate this cultivation technique, the closer you are to death. "
"You're already at death's door, and yet you still have the mood to work for others. You even have the mood to kidnap me to forge a sword for you, what a joke! "
Wang Chong didn't conceal the disdain in his eyes. He looked at the Eastern Islands female assassin as though he was looking at a dead person. The powerful and wealthy Tang dynasty was like a magnet, attracting all the powers and tribes in the world.
Beneath the peaceful surface of the Tang dynasty, there were countless powers lurking in the shadows. This Eastern Islands female assassin was clearly one of them.
In order to conceal her identity and not arouse suspicion, she had no idea which faction she had joined to learn this assassination technique.
Even though the Spectre Steps was powerful, its flaws were equally huge.
Regardless of which power she was recruited by, the other party didn't intend to let her live for too long.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
The Eastern Islands female assassin's face turned cold. The killing intent in the air suddenly intensified by more than tenfold, and the temperature in the room fell abruptly.
At this moment, the aura exuded by the Eastern Islands female assassin was completely different from before. Not only was it much stronger, it was as sharp as the edge of a blade.
Wang Chong's conjecture wasn't wrong. This female assassin had concealed her true cultivation. Her true strength should be that of the saber.
"Am I spouting nonsense? Try to circulate your Qi according to the Spectre Steps. Circulate your Qi through your Zifu and Shanzhong acupoints to see if you feel any pain. "
Leaning against the wall, Wang Chong sneered coldly.
Weng!
Even though the female assassin said that she didn't believe him, her body subconsciously began to circulate according to Wang Chong's instructions. Weng, a dense black aura gushed out from her body. In an instant, the female assassin's silhouette blurred as though a phantom, as though fusing with the darkness.
But the next moment, with a dull grunt, the black aura dissipated, and the female assassin appeared in the room once more. Her face was incomparably pale, and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead.
Her cold, emotionless, and composed eyes swiftly glanced at Wang Chong. For the first time, panic appeared on her face.
— — Wang Chong was right. When her zhenqi flowed through her Zifu and Shanzhong acupoints, she really felt a sharp pain in her Juque and Fengze acupoints. The zhenqi in her body nearly dissipated.
"This is a good chance!"
Just as the female assassin was panicking, Wang Chong slapped the ground with his palm and leaped into the air. Executing 'Dragon Ascending the Clouds', his body was as agile as a serpent as he leaped out of the window without any hesitation …
