Chapter 158: Myriad Spirit Sea Art! (1/2)
Gululu!
A carriage bearing the Wang Clan’s insignia traveled on the streets. Wang Chong sat motionlessly in the carriage, silently cultivating the 《Little Yinyang Art》 foundation formula the Demonic Emperor Old Man gave him.
Even though it was just the foundation formula, this cultivation technique wasn’t as easy as Wang Chong imagined. In fact, it was more difficult than all the other cultivation techniques that Wang Chong had learned in his previous life. However, it was fortunate that the Demonic Emperor Old Man had warned him about it in advance. The first step was always the hardest one to make, and the cultivation of the 《Little Yinyang Art》 became easier the further one progressed. As long as Wang Chong broke through the initial bottleneck, the latter parts would be relatively easier.
Origin Energy coursed through his body, and under Wang Chong’s control, it charged through one acupoint after another.
None of the paths between the acupoints collided with the cultivation techniques Wang Chong cultivated before, and every single one of these paths was bizarre and peculiar.
“No wonder this cultivation technique is called a demonic art. Just the pathways for the Origin Energy is unorthodox in itself.”
Wang Chong mumbled.
An hour later, a slight crisp sound echoed. Wang Chong had succeeded in forging a path between two acupoints once more.
With the clearing of this path, Wang Chong’s Origin Energy grew slightly denser.
Weng!
Just as Wang Chong was immersing in his gains, he suddenly felt an interruption, and his Origin Energy turned chaotic.
“Hm? This feeling…”
Wang Chong’s eyebrows twitched. He reached out and parted the window. Amidst the huge crowd outside, without any hesitation, his eyes fell on a cold-faced and suspicious man, who happened to be looking in his direction as well.
Wang Chong could sense a familiar aura from their body.
“They’re people from the unorthodox ways!”
A thought flashed across Wang Chong’s head, and he immediately understood what was going on.
The other party swiftly retracted his gaze, but this brief moment was more than sufficient for Wang Chong to realize that something was amiss.
“Turn around, head southwest!”
Wang Chong knocked on the carriage compartment and ordered.
This was the first time someone was tracking him in so many days.
“Let’s go over and take a look!”
In the crowd, two figures hurriedly followed the carriage. The carriage traveled through several alleys, but it didn’t seem to be headed for the Purple Bamboo Garden. Instead, it was traveling toward somewhere remote.
“Heh, he’s looking for it. I was just thinking that there wasn’t any opportunity to strike when he delivers one to my doorstep!”
“Even though he isn’t that old geezer, given how that brat is able to induce an Origin Energy disturbance similar to master’s, he must be related to him. As long as we capture him, we’ll be able to find the whereabouts of that old fellow!”
…
The duo hurriedly followed behind Wang Chong, and despite being on their own two feet, they were still able to catch up to the carriage easily.
Before long, they reached an area shrouded by trees. There were very little passers-by in the region, and vaguely, one could hear the high-pitched squeaking of pigs being slaughtered.
This was a butchery, and due to the stench from the huge amount of livestock here, no one, other than butchers and traders, would be here at such a late timing.
Jiya!
Around a thousand meters away from the butchery, Wang Chong’s carriage stopped.
“You’re courting death!”
Delighted, the two disciples of the unorthodox ways drew their swords, and without even thinking twice, they charged straight for the carriage. However, even though they were fast, Wang Chong was even faster!
Boom!
The windows of the carriage broke apart, and Wang Chong darted out of the carriage like a cannonball. In midair, he had already started executing the Single Character Consecutive Slash with agility and preciseness way above the duo.
“Shit!”
“Be careful!”
…
The two disciples of the unorthodox ways only saw a gleam of light, and Wang Chong was already right above their heads. Klang klang klang, Wang Chong’s sword swiftly flew around as though bolts of lightning streaking across the air, and for a moment, he was actually able to stand his ground despite facing the assault of the two simultaneously.
His movements were profound, turning left at a moment, right at the next, forward in an instant, backward in the next. On top of that, the movements of his sword were completely unpredictable. Amidst their clash, not only was Wang Chong completely unscathed, he even managed to inflict a few wounds on the other two.
Peng!
After one of the strikes, Wang Chong suddenly used the momentum to push himself ten zhang back, pulling open some distance with the pair.
(~36m)
“You must be eager to die!”
The two disciples dashed forward swiftly.
“Miyasame, what are you waiting for!”
Wang Chong suddenly bellowed.
Sou!
As if responding to Wang Chong’s voice, a black, lithe figure suddenly darted from the crown of a nearby tree, flying straight toward the trio.
Chi! Without any warning, during a momentary lapse of concentration by one of the unorthodox disciples, a sword stabbed straight through his heart cleanly and swiftly.
Klang!
At the same moment, Wang Chong dashed forward and utilized the Single Character Consecutive Slash to tear apart the other disciple’s defense. Then, making use of the momentum from the clash, Wang Chong flipped to the other party’ back, and stabbed his sword straight into the other party’s right chest.
“AHH!”
Amidst a scream of agony, the second disciple of the unorthodox ways clutched onto his chest and dropped to the ground.
Wang Chong’s swordsmanship was way too bizarre, he couldn’t guard himself against it at all.
“Speak! Who are you? Why are you following me?”
Wang Chong crushed the disciple of the unorthodox ways beneath his feet while pushing his sword against the other party’s neck. Just by a slight force, blood immediately streamed down the sword.
“Pui! Do you think that I’ll tell you?”
The other party spat a mouthful of bloodied saliva at Wang Chong.
