Chapter 1460: The Other Wang Chong! (1/2)

Wang Chong called it a 'creature' because he wasn't sure what it was that he was facing. And Wang Chong was sure that this 'Xu Qiqin' was not real. Her crimson robe and the decorations on her head were the same as they had been in the illusory world, which was simply impossible.
In other words, even though he had heavily injured her, after returning to the real world, his foe's Psychic Energy was still affecting him, just not as deeply.
”Haha, truly an absurd little ant. The real world has given up on you while the wonderful dreams of the illusory could let you have everything come true. Didn't you like that girl? I let the two of you get together. Are you not satisfied by that?
”Stop fighting and let your Psychic Energy fuse into my body! Just like rain joining with the ocean, you, I, and all the other martial artists will link together to create a new world. In this new world, we can create anything you desire. Have you not already seen the truth of that world? I can have you defeat the Confucian Sect, destroy all the other human empires, and crush your enemies into dust. Is it not great to live out a life in this beautiful dream?”
That existence that had an appearance thirty percent similar to Xu Qiqin spoke in a voice tinged with a charming power.
”Hmph, that's your dream, but it's not mine. You've enthralled so many martial artists and killed so many of them. No matter what you are, only death awaits you!” Wang Chong coldly said.
Bzzz! Wang Chong's Stellar Energy rumbled as he locked onto the bizarre existence across from him.
From what he could see, all the other martial artists in the cave were immersed in a dream. He was the only one that could deal with this creature.
Moreover, as he had just destroyed the illusory world, that creature was probably badly injured and could not draw him back into its Psychic World. This was the perfect chance to kill it.
As expected, the creature clearly became fearful when it saw that Wang Chong was about to attack.
”Hmph, as expected!”
Wang Chong sneered. There was an extremely high chance that a Psychic Energy practitioner was not skilled in close combat. Masil, for example, possessed enormous amounts of Psychic Energy, but he was nothing in actual combat.
Although this creature before him was an incredibly powerful Psychic Energy practitioner, possessing more Psychic Energy than anyone Wang Chong knew about, it was clear that its combat abilities were lacking.
”Ant, your way of thinking is too simple! What does it matter that you exposed my illusory world? Do you really think I can't deal with you?! Since you are not willing to cooperate, I will devour your Psychic Energy and force the fusion!”
Before Wang Chong could attack, that creature attacked first.
Rumble!
In a flash of light, halos rumbled and Stellar Energy flowed. Wang Chong saw the martial artists behind that creature open their eyes, but their eyes were unfocused, showing that they were being controlled.
Bang!
Seven martial artists stomped forward and rushed at Wang Chong from all sides. Clangclangclang! They pulled out their weapons and slashed them at Wang Chong.
”Ah!”
As these weapons slashed, a martial artist of thirty-some years gave an inhuman roar. The veins on his arm bulged, and suddenly, the Stellar Energy around it took the form of a massive steel fist. If he were struck directly by this fist, Wang Chong's death was assured.
At the same time, another seven or eight martial artists roared and charged up from behind Wang Chong. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded.
That creature could pull people into the illusory world, making truth difficult to distinguish from falsehood. In the real world, it could control others, even have martial artists use their supreme techniques. This was something that Wang Chong had not expected, but he was quick to take countermeasures.
Bang! His body exploded forward, agilely making its way through the tiny cracks in the encirclement, and the escape of their target immediately caused the attacks of the martial artists to produce an entirely different result.
Bangbangbang! Caught off guard, the martial artists slammed into each other, instantly creating chaos.
Just as expected!
Wang Chong was completely unsurprised by the result.
That creature could create illusory worlds and control people with Psychic Energy, even use their abilities. It naturally could comprehend the various martial arts these people used and have their bodies display their full power.
But understanding someone's martial arts was completely different from proficiently grasping their techniques and using them when needed on the battlefield. This difference might have been irrelevant when facing another martial artist, but when facing a top-class experienced martial artist like Wang Chong, this minor difference led to a vast chasm in results.
”It's your turn!”
