Boom!

In an explosion of black mist, the man in black appeared, his cape snapping in the wind. He crossed his arms, the thick black flames congealing into a shield that blocked Wang Chong's sharp Sword Qi.

”It seems like the tales weren't exaggerating at all! My movement technique is as fast as lightning and exquisite beyond compare. No one has ever been able to calculate my trajectory before. You are the first to render it ineffective!”

As the black-clothed man's clothes fluttered in the wind, his eyes glowed with a strange light. He could move silently through the air, and when he fought, the place where his attacks came from and the location of his actual body would be completely different. With this special ability, he had often been able to kill his foes with a single blow. But this move was completely ineffective against Wang Chong.

”It's useless. No matter what art you have, they won't have much effect on me!” Wang Chong indifferently said.

Ever since he had touched the Subtle realm and comprehended the origin of energy, movement techniques no longer held any mystery toward him. Any movement would leave traces in the world of energy, and they stood out as brightly as the sun or moon to Wang Chong.

Bang!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chong shot forward like a bolt of lightning, lunging at the man in black. The entire world seemed to shake as all the energy within one thousand feet of him was thrown into disarray. In the darkness, an illusory sun and moon manifested.

The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

Wang Chong had immediately used his heaven-shaking art, and under its influence, everything in the area seemed to be pulled toward him. Bang! A part of a wall was unable to endure the power and was pulled toward Wang Chong. Stone bricks circled around him like they were leaves. The man in black endured the greatest pull, with Wang Chong focusing ninety percent of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art's power on him.

Buzz!

Sensing this immense power, the man in black grimaced. His body erupted with Stellar Energy, and then he smoothly slipped away like an oversized mud fish, escaping the suction of Wang Chong's art.

”How could this be!”

Seeing this, Wang Chong slightly grimaced. He had faced many opponents, but none of them had ever been able to escape the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art like this.

”Just let me see how many tricks you scoundrels have!”

With a thought from Wang Chong, the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art instantly underwent a major transformation. The simple absorption force immediately turned into several dozen streams of energy that extended in various directions with different levels of strength. While they would conflict with each other at times, they also possessed a great deal of cohesion. Not only that, these streams of energy soon formed a giant net that shot toward a place directly behind Wang Chong.

All of this was completed almost instantaneously.

”How could this be!”

The man in black couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock as he sensed the absorption forcefield instantly become several dozen times stronger than it was before.

Wang Chong's Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art should have been ineffective against him, but Wang Chong's ability to manipulate this art had reached a terrifying level, able to make it many times more complex and powerful.

Boom! A thick black flame erupted out of the man's body, so thick and viscous that it seemed like liquid. It crashed into the large net that Wang Chong had created. The clash created a powerful shockwave of energy.

Waves of compressed air rippled out for thousands of feet, blasting apart walls and ripping off roofs. This fierce explosion caused shrieks of fear and alarm to ring out in the darkness as numerous people began to light torches. Those civilians who lived nearby rushed out of their homes and tried to get as far away from the battlefield as possible.

Hearing the clamor in the darkness, Wang Chong grimaced, his eyes gleaming with vicious killing intent. He was already using the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to control the battle and limit its effects, but the clash had still resulted in significant damage.

Moreover, such a large ruckus was certain to attract the City Guard and the patrolling Imperial Army soldiers. He needed to finish off his opponent as quickly as possible.

”It's my turn now!”

A cold light in his eyes, Wang Chong turned into three people that shot toward the man in black from three different directions. The man in black had never expected this development, and what shocked him even more was that these three illusions were identical in both appearance and strength. Even at his level of strength, he could not tell which one was real.

Before he could react, the three illusions were already converging on him.
