Chapter 2014: Outplayed! (1/2)

Edited by: Michyrr

I have to leave as soon as I can!

The recollection of how Wang Chong had destroyed two of the black rings in the Pavilion of Petal and Sepal like he was some sort of god, his eyes cold and intimidating, sent shivers through An Yaluoshan's soul, and he once more felt that deep-rooted fear.

This fellow was too strong!

And too domineering!

Not only had Wang Chong seen through his plan to steal the Dragon Qi, he had also destroyed his formation. Not even the presence of the Sage Emperor could stop Wang Chong from trying to kill him!

When this man hardened his heart, he was no longer human. He was a madman!

An Yaluoshan was still the Andong Protector-General, but it seemed that this scoundrel didn't care. Even if his actions would bring a calamity on the Wang Clan, he just didn't seem to care.

Damn thing! One day, I'll make you and the Wang Clan pay! An Yaluoshan mentally cursed.

Bang!

At this moment, two explosions came from the bronze pendant hanging from An Yaluoshan's neck, and two more hazy lights burst forth, revealing Wang Chong's figure.

In this short while, another two clones had been exposed. He now only had three clones in the city to distract his pursuers.

An Yaluoshan felt his flesh crawl, and a pressure immediately descended on his shoulders. Not daring to linger, he picked up the pace, fleeing in almost a panic.

This bastard was truly too fast…

A few moments later, in the northeastern part of the capital, he came to a high and thick city wall where several pine trees stood.

When An Yaluoshan saw these pine trees, he finally smiled in relief, a great burden coming off his shoulders.

”Hahaha, what King of Foreign Lands? What Nine Provinces Protector-General? What War God? In the end, weren't you still made to run around by my diversions?”

An Yaluoshan looked back at the bustling capital and smugly smiled.

Regardless of what had happened or how many of his clones had been exposed, in the end, he had still won.

Once he was gone from here, he would have left the capital.

”Once I pass through here and return to Youzhou, I can truly begin that plan. Wang Chong, we will meet again, and at that time, I wonder how you'll fight against me?”

Heartily laughing, An Yaluoshan stepped forward, lowered his body, and picked something up. A moment later, a secret tunnel hidden behind the pine trees opened.

This tunnel led beneath the city walls, all the way out of the capital.

This was the escape route An Yaluoshan had prepared for himself.

An Yaluoshan chuckled as he drew back his belly and tensed his muscles. Whoosh! He lunged into the tunnel like a civet cat, and it was only a few moments later that he was on the other side.

”Hahaha, I really wasn't discovered!”

When he saw the dense forests beyond the walls, An Yaluoshan joyously laughed, truly feeling like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.

Now that he was here, everything behind him no longer concerned him.

”Wang Chong, you missed this chance. You can't kill me again. In the future, the Great Tang will be mine!”

An Yaluoshan laughed.

He just needed to move another seven or eight li to where he had agreed to meet with the men in black. At that time, he would be completely safe. No matter how unwilling Wang Chong was, he would still be powerless to do anything about it.

He, An Yaluoshan, had finally completed his grand aspiration of playing around with the sovereign and subjects of the Great Tang like they were toys.

Just when An Yaluoshan was at his cockiest, a cold and aloof voice like the voice of death itself entered his ears.

”An Yaluoshan, you've kept me waiting. Are you sure… that I can't kill you?”

Buzz!

When he heard this familiar voice, An Yaluoshan felt his heart skip a beat, and his body trembled. Raising his head, he looked to the side. Next to the pine tree was an aloof young man wearing an imperial robe, neat and tidy, as if he had been waiting for some time.

As An Yaluoshan turned to look, that aloof young man also turned to look at him.

”W-W-Wang Chong!!”

An Yaluoshan's eyes flew open in disbelief. As their eyes met, An Yaluoshan felt like he had been struck by a hammer, his breathing almost coming to a stop.

Shock!

Incomparable shock!

The shock and disbelief were so great that his body staggered backward several steps!

H-how?

How could he appear here?

And wasn't he chasing his 'clones' just a moment ago?

How could one person appear in two places at once?

He felt like he was seeing a ghost.

”How are you here?” An Yaluoshan stiffly said, scowling.
