Chapter 131: The Powerful Li Zhuxin! (1/2)

The Single Character Consecutive Slash was a technique singlehandedly created by Wang Chong.

The ideology behind its creation, the meridians required for the technique, the flow of energy… Wang Chong had every single detail behind the technique in his grasp. Thus, Wang Chong was capable of mastering it much faster than any other skills.

Leaning against the tree, Wang Chong drove the Origin Energy within his body and started to open up a new pathway for the flow of energy in his body.

The opening up of new ‘pathways’ wasn’t easy, but Wang Chong was experienced in this aspect. Others might have to experiment for hundreds or even up to a thousand times before they could get the correct location, but Wang Chong, having absolute knowledge of this technique, would be able to accomplish it easily.

Most likely, it would only take him two to three times!

This was the benefit of creating one’s own skills!

Even so, creating a technique was far more difficult than one could have imagined, perhaps even outweighing its benefits.

Weng!

A light buzz vaguely sounded from Wang Chong’s body, and soon, he entered a state of imperturbability.

“Young master has become a martial arts fanatic. If old master were to see it, he would definitely be unable to believe his eyes.”

Meng Long was taken aback by Wang Chong’s dedication, but he eventually shook it off with a smile and walked a distance away to keep a lookout for enemies.

Slowly, the mountain peak reverted back to its usual calmness.

After an unknown period of time, Wang Chong’s body jolted. He was almost done opening up the pathway for Single Character Consecutive Slash, and just as he was about to give it the final push, he suddenly heard a slight rustling sound.

“Someone is here!”

Opening his eyes, Wang Chong glanced downward the mountain. The footsteps slowly grew louder. The other party didn’t seem to be hiding his presence at all.

Then, from between the lush trees, Wang Chong heard a familiar voice.

“Indeed, it is Shen Hai!”

Wang Chong smiled.

Shen Hai had gone down alone, but he didn’t return alone. He brought several guards from the Wang Clan, as well as a few powerfully built workers along. They were carrying tools with them, and it seemed that they were here to conduct the primary construction of Wang Chong’s ‘training base’.

“Hehehe, young master, I’m done with the matter regarding the mountain range. Now, this entire region belongs to us. On top of that, I have brought a few people over. We can build a few houses in this region…”

In a good mood, Shen Hai shouted to Wang Chong and the others as he climbed up the slope.

“Haha, you’ve worked hard.”

Wang Chong smiled. On top of the tools, Wang Chong saw that they had brought fire-making equipment and rations over.

“Hm?”

As Shen Hai approached Wang Chong, he suddenly realized that something was different about the other party.

“Young master, you seem a little different from before?”

“Indeed!”

Wang Chong chuckled. When Shen Hai had descended from the mountain, Wang Chong was still at Origin Energy Tier 6. Given that he had advanced a realm, it was natural that he would feel different. On top of that, his physique had changed visibly as well. Just as he was about to tell Shen Hai about it, Wang Chong’s face suddenly warped. A strong sense of danger was nudging on his heart.

“Be careful! ——”

Wang Chong’s warning shot through the air as though a sudden bolt of lightning. Lifting his head, he suddenly glanced at the forest to the right of Shen Hai.

At the same time, Shen Hai and Meng Long also noticed that something was amiss. Turning their heads over, their faces changed.

“It’s that female assassin!”

“Young master, be careful! ——”

The both of them were astonished. No one could have expected that she would follow them all the way up here. Remorseful, Shen Hai’s complexion turned extremely awful.

No matter how slow he was, given how deeply hidden this location was, it was clear that the female assassin had followed him here.

Yet, for the past few days, he didn’t notice a single trace at all.

“Protect gongzi!”

Shen Hai, Meng Long, and the other guards of the Wang Clan bellowed. Without a second thought, they charged furiously toward the forest.

“Scram, none of you are a match for her!”

Wang Chong yelled anxiously.

If Arloja and Ablonodan were here, they might still be able to stop her. However, without a doubt, it was impossible for these guards to ward off the Eastern Islands female assassin on their own.

“Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness!”

A light and refreshing harrumph echoed. It shouldn’t have been anything much, but to Wang Chong’s ears, it sounded like the voice of the death god. Sou! The leaves shook, and a black shadow shot out from the lush greenery from the right side of the forest. Her movements were swift and light as though her phantom. Furthermore, her steps were erratic, making it completely impossible to predict her movements at all.

Wang Chong wasn’t wrong when he said that this terrain was advantageous to her. Executing Spectre Steps here had made her movements much harder to read than on flat ground.

Peng peng peng!

With a flash of the shadow, the three guards that Shen Hai brought over were sent flying. One-to-one, none of them were a match for her.

Sou!

With a slight sway of her body, that Eastern Islands assassin easily avoided Shen Hai and Meng Long’s assault and charged straight at Wang Chong.

From the start of the battle to this moment, not even a single breath had passed. Wang Chong’s hair stood at ends, and a strong feeling of death loomed over his heart.

Weng!

Without any hesitation, Wang Chong immediately executed the Single Character Consecutive Slash. However, instead of directing it toward the Eastern Islands female assassin, he used the movement and momentum of the technique to flee.
