Wang Chong moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he neared the area the screams had originated from. In the distance, Wang Chong could see a brightly lit stone house ringed by Wushang villagers, all of their faces fraught with concern.

”Who goes there!”

”It's those outsiders!!”

”What are you planning! Hurry and leave!”

”Stop, hurry and stop! Or else don't blame us for being rude!”

……

The Wushang villagers watched Wang Chong approach with great apprehension and vigilance. A few villagers immediately stepped forward and began to shout, hoping that Wang Chong would stop and keep a distance.

It's too late!

Wang Chong was deeply concerned.

Everyone in Wushang Village maintained an extreme vigilance and aversion toward him, which was why Wang Chong had not brought up this tragedy during the day. No one would believe him, and in the worst case, the Wushang would believe that he was cursing them and immediately drive him out.

But this time was different. Probably not even the Wushang knew just how many people they would lose tonight.

The Wushang were far too powerful. Even Gao Feng and Nie Yan, who had fought alongside him on the battlefield, sighed in praise at their strength. But Wang Chong was deeply aware that the power of the Wushang came with a price. Beneath the veneer of power were a terrible drawback and pain that no ordinary person could imagine.

This drawback was normally bearable, but on the night of a lunar eclipse, it would suddenly explode in intensity.

This was the Achilles' Heel of the Wushang.

”Make way!”

Wang Chong's eyes turned cold. He had no time for explanations, and he shook his wrists, unleashing a powerful wave of Stellar Energy, creating an energy vortex in a radius of several zhang around him.

Boom!

Before the Wushang could approach, they were sent flying by an invisible energy.

”Impudent!”

A harsh voice came from the entrance to the stone house as a Wushang elder that Wang Chong had seen during the day charged out, his face ashen. Accompanying him were five small swords floating in the air.

Bzzt!

These five small swords were about the size of thumbs and seemed insignificant while floating in the air. However, the aura they exuded was like that of one thousand jun, as heavy as mountains. It made one feel like Mount Tai itself was hanging over their head, that their life was hanging by a thread.

Metal element ability!

Wang Chong's face also flickered.

Wushang Village was surrounded by mountains, so it was easy to train Earth element abilities here, especially those related to stone. Huang Botian's Stone General was one such case. But the Wushang elder before him could actually use the Metal element, and he seemed even more powerful than Huang Botian in his Stone General.

This Wushang Village surrounded by rocks was truly an inconceivable place.

It's the Five Elements Sword Mountain!

Wang Chong suddenly remembered something.

The majority of Wushang Village's martial arts were related to stone and earth, but nothing was absolute. Wang Chong knew that one elder of the village had cultivated the Metal element, and his martial art was called 'Five Elements Sword Mountain'. He was exceptionally powerful and was Wushang Village's sole Metal element warrior.

'Five Elements Sword Mountain' was extremely powerful, and its most unique point was the five small swords.

Each of these swords weighed more than one thousand jun. Unlike other swords, they relied not on their edge, but their incredible weight. Any person who dared to underestimate them even slightly would end up having their body pulverized.

Alas, this Metal element elder's emergence was as brief as the morning dew. Just like the others, he died in the great calamity.

Wang Chong hadn't expected that he would run into him.

”My apologies for my offense!”

Even though he knew who this elder was, not only did Wang Chong not back down, he increased his speed as he charged toward the elder.

”Seeking death!”

The elder's eyes chilled. Elder Wu Jiumei was currently injured and time was urgent. No matter how high Wang Chong's status was, even if he might be a marquis, he was still an outsider. If he still tried to force his way through, the elder could not be blamed for what came next.

Boom!

The five small swords began to ring in the air. Though only several inches long, they were like whales in the ocean, leaving massive vortices in their wake as they shot through the air. With this sudden burst of speed, the five swords shot toward Wang Chong like five mountains.

If struck, Wang Chong would instantly be pulped, his body pounded into paste!

Wang Chong lightly snorted at this sight, no fear in his eyes. 'Five Elements Sword Mountain' truly was powerful, with one small sword being equivalent to a mountain. Yet not even the 'Five Elements Sword Mountain' was a match for one of the Ten Supreme Arts of the Central Plains, the greatest of the evil arts, the 'Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art'!
