"Where do you think you're going!"
The female assassin's heart turned cold. Her target this time was Wang Chong. Regardless of whether it was to kill him or to have him forge a sword for her, she couldn't allow him to escape.
Peng! Enduring the pain in her body, the female assassin hurriedly chased after Wang Chong. Outside the window, the moonlight shone brightly. She could see a figure as agile as a serpent dashing toward the Wang Family Residence's warehouse.
The female assassin's face turned cold. Without any hesitation, she immediately chased after Wang Chong. But just as she was several zhang away from the female assassin, a black gleam flashed, and a massive steel arrow carrying a powerful might flew toward the female assassin's face at the speed of lightning.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the female assassin was only able to raise her broken sword before her body to block the attack. Then, she was struck by the thick metal arrow and was sent flying.
"Tuoba Guiyuan, masters, hurry up and stop her! Don't let her escape! — — "
As Wang Chong dashed along the grass, he bellowed loudly. The first half of his sentence was in Mandarin, but the second half was in Sanskrit.
"Roar! Female benefactor, stay behind! "
Arloja and Ablonodan roared furiously. Black smoke billowed from their bodies, and as though two arrows leaving the bow, they charged forward.
Peng peng!
In a short period of time, the three powerful shockwaves collided with one another. The shockwaves from the explosion even affected Wang Chong, who was a dozen zhang away.
When Wang Chong turned around, he saw Arloja and Ablonodan's robes puffing up. Their bodies wavered, and they retreated several steps. On the other hand, the female assassin also made use of this opportunity to charge out. In midair, she deflected Ba Guiyuan's thick metal arrow with an arrow before her figure blurred. Executing the Spectre Steps once more, her figure morphed into a blurry shadow and darted into the shadows at the corner of the wall.
"Lad! This matter isn't over yet! — — "
That hateful voice sounded from the darkness, and it sounded as though her teeth were about to shatter. In the blink of an eye, the Eastern Islands female assassin disappeared from sight.
"That fellow's strength is incredible!"
Upon seeing this sight, Wang Chong was astonished. He had witnessed Arloja and Ablonodan's strength before. For this female assassin to be able to fight against the two of them at the same time, her strength was truly astonishing.
"Young Master, who is this woman? She's so strong, even two of my arrows couldn't hurt her! "
Tuoba Guiyuan rushed over with an arrow on his back. The most basic requirement for an archer was to have a keen eye and Tuoba Guiyuan was an expert in this field.
However, after the other party executed the Spectre Steps, Tuoba Guiyuan was unable to identify her.
"Is it that merchant from the Western Regions, Mosaide? This guy is so cunning. Other than those masked men in black, he actually arranged for another group of assassins. "
Shen Hai and Meng Long also rushed over from the back with their swords in their hands.
"It's not Mosaide!"
Wang Chong shook his head.
"Oh?"
The group of people immediately looked over in surprise.
"This person is a Japanese assassin. No matter how strong Mosaide is, it's impossible for him to hire a Japanese assassin to deal with me. And … she doesn't recognize the WuZi Steel Sword in my hand. "
Wang Chong said as he lifted the WuZi Steel Sword in his hand to take a look.
There were simply too many flaws on the Japanese female assassin. Initially, Wang Chong thought that she was hired by Mosaide. However, what Mosaide wanted was his WuZi Steel Sword, and this person wanted his life.
If it weren't for the fact that she happened to discover the seven-foot-long, slender, and thick-backed sword on the table, and the fact that the Japanese were especially proficient in swordsmanship, she would have killed him long ago!
"Then who sent her?"
Shen Hai and Meng Long frowned.
Wang Chong shook his head silently. Even though he didn't know who sent the assassin, the only one who would be able to send such an assassin recently was either Su Bai or Yao Feng.
Su Bai had already been locked up in the Court of Judicial Review, and no matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to hire a female assassin. Then what was left was …
At this point, a dark shadow flashed across Wang Chong's forehead.
"Let's talk about this matter in the future. Reinforce our defenses for the next few days, that person might come again."
Shen Hai, Meng Long, and Tuoba Guiyuan nodded their heads in fear.
If not for Wang Chong's wits and having Tuoba Guiyuan and the two Sindhi monks deliver the weapons to Shen Hai and Meng Long, no one would have known that Wang Chong was in danger.
That female assassin probably wouldn't have known that there wasn't a weapon rack in the corner of the Wang Clan's warehouse. It was because Shen Hai and Meng Long heard this, as well as the fact that Wang Chong had been in his room the entire time, not opening the door, that they realized that something was amiss. Thus, they gathered Tuoba Guiyuan, Ablonodan, and Arloja to rush over.
"Master, I'll be troubling you for the next two days."
Wang Chong turned around and spoke to the two Sindhi monks in Sanskrit.
"Don't worry, gongzi. We'll stay close to you for the next few days to ensure your safety."
Recalling the previous situation, the two of them felt a lingering fear. The current Wang Chong was of utmost importance to them. No matter what, they couldn't allow anything to happen to him.
After receiving the assurance of the two Sindhi monks, Wang Chong heaved a sigh of relief. With Ablonodan, Arloja, and Tuoba Guiyuan around, he didn't have to worry about the female assassin for the time being.
"Perhaps, it's about time for me to get some help …"
A glint flashed across Wang Chong's eyes and a thought flashed across his mind.
This incident also served as a reminder to Wang Chong. Time and space had changed, and so had his identity and strength. If it was in the past, as the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains, Wang Chong wouldn't have paid any heed to such an assassin.
However, everything was different now. Wang Chong had to remind himself repeatedly that he was no longer the Grand Marshal of the Central Plains. He was just a mere scion of an Origin Energy Tier 5 clan.
Before he succeeded in cultivating those cultivation techniques, he wouldn't be able to execute a single one of them.
Ablonodan, Arloja, and the others couldn't possibly guard him all the time, and Tuoba Guiyuan couldn't possibly stay by his side. Under the circumstances where he wasn't strong enough, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Wang Chong had to find some formidable 'bodyguards' and 'subordinates' to protect him!
Even though this wasn't an easy task, Wang Chong was still able to find a few of them.
"There's no need to rush this matter. I'll think about it after grandfather's birthday."
Wang Chong thought.
Grandfather's birthday was just a few days away. With Ablonodan and Arloja around, it shouldn't be a problem for him to endure for a few days. Furthermore, if that female assassin still remembered what he told her about the 'Spectre Steps', she probably wouldn't have the time to harass him for the time being.
"Masters, I'll have to trouble you to stay beside me for the next few days!"
Wang Chong turned to look at Shen Hai and Meng Long:
"Also, Shen Hai and Meng Long, call little sister over tomorrow. He also told his cousin to get a few experts from his uncle to come over and guard his mother's residence. I'm afraid that there might be others who would lay their hands on mother. "
"Also, inform the Imperial Army to increase the patrols in the vicinity. Right, it would be best to inform uncle and have him deal with this matter personally. "
It didn't matter how many guards there were. It was safest for the Imperial Army to patrol the area frequently. The Imperial Army of the royal court was filled with experts of True Martial realm and above.
With these people patrolling the area frequently, even the female assassin would have to consider whether it was worth it to do so.
"Yes, I'll get it done now."
Shen Hai and Meng Long replied before leaving.
After making all these arrangements, Wang Chong heaved a sigh of relief. After making all these arrangements, the Wang Clan was truly impregnable. At the very least, he wouldn't have to worry about an attack of this level in the future.
After making arrangements for Ablonodan and Arloja's residence, Wang Chong headed back to his own residence.
The Wang Clan finally quietened down after a huge commotion in the middle of the night.
Peng!
Wang Chong pushed open the door, and just as he stepped over the threshold, the world suddenly shook. An intense bout of dizziness struck his head.
Before Wang Chong could react, he felt the world around him changing. In an instant, it felt as though countless things were pressing down on him.
That kind of heavy pressure was almost suffocating.
【Warning!】
【Warning!】
【The First World Constraint has arrived!】
…
Before Wang Chong could even react, the world before him had already begun to churn. An endless torrent of energy surged toward him with the might of a thunderbolt.
In the midst of this torrent of energy, Wang Chong seemed as insignificant as an ant.
Peng!
Wang Chong's right knee caved in, and he fell to the ground. At the same time, Wang Chong could vaguely hear a rumbling in his body. A bizarre but resilient energy burst forth from his body, forming a faint yellow barrier that shielded Wang Chong's body.
Boom!
The surging torrent of energy surged past Wang Chong's body like a tidal wave. The faint yellow barrier around Wang Chong's body shattered with a pop, taking away all of Wang Chong's stamina.
"Hu!"
Wang Chong's face was pale, and he sat on the ground. His entire body was drenched in sweat.
"Gongzi, what's wrong?"
A Sanskrit voice came from next door. It was Ablonodan.
"I'm fine."
Wang Chong replied weakly. Everything before him returned to normal. The heavy pressure and the feeling of the world crashing down on him only lasted for an instant before disappearing.
The room was dark and silent.
The "World's Shackles" had passed.
"Masters, did you two see anything just now? Or did you discover anything? "
Wang Chong panted for breath and said after a moment of silence.
"No, I only heard that you fell."
It was Ablonodan's voice, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice. For some reason, Wang Chong's voice had become exceptionally weak. However, recalling how Wang Chong had just survived the assault of a female assassin, he felt relieved and didn't think too much about it.
Oblivious to Ablonodan and Arloja, in the other room, Wang Chong was taken aback upon hearing their reply. All of a sudden, he seemed to have come to a realization.
"So, I'm the only one who could see such a huge commotion?"
Wang Chong fell into deep thought.
Regardless of whether it was the powerful torrent of energy or the faint yellow barrier around him, other than him, Ablonodan, Arloja, and the others were unaware of such a huge commotion.
Wang Chong suddenly realized that the power of the world was directed at him. The World Constraint had already surpassed the capabilities of an ordinary cultivator. Even Ablonodan and Arloja weren't able to sense it.
