Chapter 264: King Sosurim!, Part Three

To think that King Sosurim would actually abandon an opportunity to get rid of Ma Yinlong and the others to deal with the weakest Wang Chong. Even Wang Chong himself was shocked by this turn of events.

”Gongzi, be careful!” the startled Miyasame Ayaka exclaimed as she drew out two daggers.

However, shadows flashed, and yet another figure appeared before Wang Chong with a much greater speed than Miyasame Ayaka.

”Chong-er, get away!”

In that crucial moment, Li Lin sensed that Wang Chong was in danger and rushed forward.

Boom! The next moment, a powerful force struck him, sending him flying far away.

Even Li Lin was no match was no match for King Sosurim's fearsome saber qi. However, his interference wasn't completely useless—he managed to dispel two of the three saber qi.

Boom!

A streak of black light flashed across the sky, and the final saber qi was crushed by Luo Chong's arrow from eight hundred meters away.

”No one will be able to save you!” King Sosurim sneered coldly. Xiu, at that instant when the three saber qi were taken down, he flicked his wrist, and a black screw-like dart curved in a unique trajectory, aimed straight for Wang Chong.

Even space distorted in the trajectory where the black dart flew. Its immense might seemed like it would even combust oxygen in the air.

”This is bad!”

A strong feeling of danger rushed up on Wang Chong like a tsunami. His body turned cold, and goosebumps rose.

He could sense King Sosurim's determination to kill him. It seemed that the other party would pay any price so long as he could take down Wang Chong.

Xiu xiu xiu!

In that split moment, Wang Chong had little time to think. He struck the back of the steed to make use of the momentum to leap off it while shooting out five surges of Sword Qi of Massacre from his fingers.

The martial arts experience he had accrued in his previous life proved to be crucial at this very moment. With his cultivation of Origin Energy Tier 9, it should have been impossible for him to hit King Sosurim's rotating dart. Yet. three of Wang Chong's six sword qi did manage to land on its target.

Chi!

The dart flew past him by just the smallest of gap, tearing apart Wang Chong's sleeve and leaving behind a crimson streak on his shoulder.

That was close!, Wang Chong thought fearfully. If not for his sword qi changing the trajectory of the dart, given the force and sharpness of it, he would have surely lost an arm or even everything beneath his shoulder.

”All Imperial Army guards, stop King Sosurim! Don't allow him to get away!” Wang Chong issued an order. At the same time, as soon as he landed on the ground, he immediately dashed for another steed not too far away.

When the Imperial Army encircled the residence, they left their steeds outside. At this moment, they had become the straw of hope for Wang Chong's survival.

Jya!

Striking the back of the horse, he galloped into the distance.

Of all that were gathered in the area, he was the weakest. The Bane of the Battlefield aura was completely ineffective on King Sosurim. In other words, there was no doubt that he would die if he were to collide with King Sosurim.

For a Profound Martial realm expert, slaying an Origin Energy martial artist wasn't much different from killing an ant.

”How is this possible?”

Seeing Wang Chong's departing back, King Sosurim was stunned for an instant. His rotating dart wasn't any slower than Luo Chong's arrow. Given Wang Chong's current cultivation realm, it would be impossible for him to even perceive it clearly, let alone dodge it.

Yet, not only did Wang Chong dodge it, he even used his sword qi to change the trajectory of his dart thrice. This should have been impossible!

”Advance together, don't let him get away!”

At that instant, a formation consisting of dozens of Imperial Army encircled King Sosurim tightly. His cultivation might be impressive, but on a battlefield, what that would make the difference between a win or a loss wasn't one's individual prowess.

An army of ants biting an elephant to death—such sights couldn't be more common on the battlefield.

Hong long!

In an instant, Ma Yinlong, Steel Arms, Old Eagle, Solitary Wolf, and Li Lin charged forth. From afar, Luo Chong also shot arrows out at an incredible pace from behind Wang Chong as well.

While it wasn't suitable for him to interfere in this kind of chaotic battle, he could still spray his arrows out to prevent King Sosurim from pursuing Wang Chong any further.

Boom!

A saber qi rose more than ten zhang high. With just a single strike, five Imperial Army guards were knocked flying as blood spewed from their mouths. Boom! Yet another saber qi struck, and another group of Imperial Army soldiers was jolted flying once more.

Despite the collaboration of the group, they were still unable to stand toe-to-toe with King Sosurim. All they could manage was to encircle him at the moment.

However, judging from the situation, it wouldn't take long for King Sosurim to charge out of their encirclement.

”He's too strong!”

Upon seeing this sight, everyone's faces darkened.

Even though they were all using the arts from the Three Saber School, King Sosurim was clearly much stronger than the three Goguryeon heads in the monastery. Every single time his saber was raised, blood would surely splatter. The savagery of this fight was astonishing.

The three sabers seemed to come to life in King Sosurim's hands, turning to ferocious beasts that would tear apart those that they laid their fangs on.

In just a short encounter, Ma Yinlong, Steel Arms, Old Eagle, Solitary Wolf, and Li Lin were already injured. There were even deep cuts on the Xuan metal armor Li Lin was wearing.

Unlike Dae Hyeonseok and the other Goguryeon commanders, King Sosurim was much more cunning. While suppressing the crowd with his saber qi, he continuously moved among the crowd, leaving them unable to work together properly.

Furthermore, his movements were well-calculated to best use the bodies of others to block the group's attacks. Thus, despite the valiant sight of dozens of people surrounding King Sosurim, only a small handful of them could attack him at any given time.

In fact, the numerical advantage seemed to be even working against them. Most of the Imperial Army guards found themselves incapable of utilizing their strength. Instead, they were maneuvered by King Sosurim to hinder Ma Yinlong, Steel Arms, and the other Profound Martial realm experts' attacks.
