Miyasame Ayaka was extremely fast. In the entire Wang Clan Residence, she had been the first to arrive to the scene, so she was also the first to strike. Miyasame Ayaka had been appointed by Wang Chong as the first expert to respond to any incidents at night, while the entire Wang Clan was sound asleep.

Clang!

Just as she had expected, Miyasame Ayaka's sword stabbed at the chest of the giant. But rather than the sound of metal entering flesh, there was a spray of sparks and clang of metal. Miyasame Ayaka's sword had failed to break through.

”How could this be?!”

Miyasame Ayaka was shocked, her beautiful complexion paling as she lost her composure. Although the sword in her hand seemed unremarkable, it was actually a Wootz Steel sword that Wang Chong had personally forged for her, so sharp that a hair blowing by on a gust of wind would be cut in two.

Hardly anything could block this kind of weapon. Even the renowned plate armor of Ü-Tsang seemed to not exist before a Wootz Steel weapon, much less any other kind.

But this giant had relied purely on his flesh to block the Wootz Steel sword. This outcome was utterly inconceivable for Miyasame Ayaka.

Roar!

Miyasame Ayaka was stunned, but the giant was not. There was a flash of light as a steely fist the size of an alms bowl hurtled toward Miyasame Ayaka.

”Ah!”

With a scream, Miyasame Ayaka was sent flying along with her sword. Her body smashed into a roof ten-some zhang away, crashing through countless roof tiles.

Roar! Upon sending Miyasame Ayaka flying, the giant paid her no further attention, immediately resuming its charge toward the lantern-lit study.

”It's an assassin!”

The entire Wang Clan was now in an uproar, the loud clash having long ago roused everyone from their slumber. Countless guards were rushing out of their rooms, streaming in from all directions to stop the giant.

”Aaaaah!”

With a single punch from the giant, guards were sent screaming into the air, many of them bursting into violet flames in midair. Their bodies and clothes were burned into ash that dispersed through the air.

Boomboomboom! No matter how many people came at the giant or how powerful they were, they were all like sheep before a tiger. A single punch was enough to pulverize them and burn their remains to ash.

Even all together, the Wang Clan guards were naught but ants before the giant. Not a single one of them could take even a single blow.

Flames began to spread through the estate, incinerating all the halls, towers, pavilions, and promenades. The massive giant was like a destroyer, leaving only ash in his wake.

”Halt!”

Just when it seemed like the giant was about to annihilate the Wang Clan Residence, kill all the guards, and continue unimpeded toward Wang Chong's study, a roar came out of the night.

Boom! In a flash, just when the giant seemed about to break out of the encirclement, a massive figure equipped with heavy armor clashed with him.

……

In the study, Wang Chong sat cross-legged by a lantern. After returning from the Imperial Palace and paying respects to his mother, Wang Chong had entered the study and begun to cultivate.

This was how Wang Chong had spent the majority of his time since his return to the capital.

But this night was bound to be different from the rest.

”Ah!”

Scream after scream came from outside. At the start, Wang Chong had not paid them much attention. After all, although the Wang Clan couldn't be considered a den of hidden experts, there were still many experts gathered here. It was not a place some ordinary person could barge into.

And besides, Miyasame Ayaka and Li Siye were patrolling in the darkness.

But Wang Chong gradually began to feel that something was wrong, as the screams outside seemed to only grow more intense, and were soon joined by the booms of buildings collapsing.

This was certainly not a sign that the conflict was coming to an end.

”What's going on? The capital is an important area under the feet of the Son of Heaven. How could there be someone capable of intruding into a place like this?”

Wang Chong's brow furrowed as he stood up. Throwing the door open, he walked out of the study. Even though Wang Chong had already mentally prepared himself, he was still given a massive shock when he saw the scene outside.

Although the Wang Clan's residence could not compare to the luxury of King Qi or King Song, it was still a clan of ministers and generals. Its buildings had been constructed in a distinguished style, with all the pavilions, towers, gardens, and ponds appropriate to a clan of its status.

But when Wang Chong walked out of the study, he was greeted with an entirely different scene. A vast stretch of the buildings, gardens, and ponds had been destroyed, flattened.

Flames were still blazing amongst the ruins, and everywhere Wang Chong looked, the ground was covered in a thick layer of black ash. In the center of this black ash was a giant 2.7 or 2.8 meters tall, his muscles bulging, his body towering like a mountain in the ruins of the estate.

Across from him, the Invincible Great General Li Siye was currently engaged in fierce combat.

Although he had not seen the battle, the smell of burnt flesh in the air was enough to make Wang Chong instantly pale.

”What sort of monster is this?”
