“Hmph, can you really escape?”

w.a.n.g Chong’s mental voice resounded in the minds of the three masked men. All of them trembled in ill foreboding, and before they could run into the pa.s.sage, countless bolts of lightning shot out from the roiling thunderclouds and engulfed the three.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Sensing danger, the three attempted to muster all their strength into one last attack, but this was a pointless struggle in front of this lightning. Crack! Hiss! As the lightning bolts shot past the Goat Immortal, Deer Immortal, and Tiger Immortal, the three of them screamed and dropped from the air. And this was still not the end.

After striking down the three Immortals, the dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly descended to the ground and began to swim across the surface like thousands of snakes.

Bangbangbang!

The transformed men in black, their faces still looking up, were blasted into powder by the destructive bolts of lightning.

Not even the Tiger Immortal had been able to resist this attack, so how could these ordinary men in black?

“How could it be like this!?”

The fallen Immortals and the sight of the men in black being obliterated caused fear and panic to appear in the eyes of the Yellow Scarf Warrior and the bamboo hat men.

Although there had been some twists and turns in this battle, they had basically been in control all this time, but now, for the first time, the three of them felt like they were facing a disaster.

“Stop!”

The third bamboo hat man’s eyes reflected the azure lightning, and his body trembled in instinctive fear. He wanted to dodge, but the lightning was simply too fast.

Boom! In a flash of light, the third bamboo hat man trembled. Upon being struck by lightning, he had been utterly shorn of life, and his lifeless body was now frozen to the spot.

Thudthudthud!

The crackling lightning soon pa.s.sed through the second bamboo hat man and then the Yellow Scarf Warrior before finally scattering into countless lightning snakes.

Finally…

The light faded and w.a.n.g Chong appeared once more in front of Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor, his hair hanging loose and his hands resting on the sword that was now thrust into the ground. His hairband had vanished at some point, allowing his pitch-black hair to hang down and conceal his face.

Behind him, those men in black who had not been instantly obliterated were like petrified statues. For them, it seemed like time had stopped.

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Everyone had their eyes wide open as they stared at w.a.n.g Chong and the several dozen frozen men in black behind him.

All of them were waiting and also carefully examining each person, fearing that they might miss some small detail.

As time continued to pa.s.s, someone suddenly swallowed. As if this was a signal, the men in black began to topple over, revealing the singular sword wounds on their backs that suddenly exploded with blood.

The crowd watched in disbelief as more and more of the men in black fell over, collapsing into pools of blood. They were all dead.

Bang!

The crowd exploded at this sight, their faces filled with disbelief. Even Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor were twitching.

One strike!

Only one strike!

w.a.n.g Chong had actually killed the Goat Immortal, Deer Immortal, Tiger Immortal, and all the other men in black. This was simply unbelievable.

The youthful figure standing before them now exuded a vast and intimidating aura.

“How could this be? Such terrifying strength!”

The Black Yin Ancestor found it difficult to conceal the shock in his eyes. He had schemed against w.a.n.g Chong more than once, and in his eyes, this youth had always been an avenue that he could use to take revenge against the Demonic Emperor Old Man, as well as a junior of some intelligence who had once ruined his plans.

But w.a.n.g Chong had now displayed a strength that even he found unimaginable. If he hadn’t seen it for himself, he would have never dared to believe that such power existed in this world.

“He’s… too strong! What frightening strength!”

Everyone was deeply stunned. After all, even the Black Yin Ancestor had been greatly taken aback. In their eyes, w.a.n.g Chong had essentially become a G.o.d.

This kind of power had already transcended the mortal plane!

But at this moment, thump! w.a.n.g Chong’s body trembled and his knees went soft. As if he had been deprived of all strength, he staggered two steps and almost fell over. At this moment, w.a.n.g Chong’s long hair moved aside, revealing for a brief moment his ghastly pale face.

Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting didn’t seem visibly affected by this, but the Black Yin Ancestor and his fellows suddenly had a gleam in their eyes.

“Chong-er, how are you doing?”

In a flash of light, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief appeared at w.a.n.g Chong’s sides and held him up.

At the same time, the Lone Silence Ancestor flew over and swept his sharp gaze over the crowd in warning.

The men in black had been destroyed, with the three Immortals defeated by w.a.n.g Chong. The external threats had been vanquished, leaving only the internal threats. It was hard to divine the hearts of men, and there was no telling whether someone might try to do something to w.a.n.g Chong.

The Black Yin Ancestor and his comrades were seemingly unperturbed by the appearance of the Demonic Emperor Old Man and the other two, but deep in their eyes, there was a hint of hesitation.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man was hard enough to deal with, and there was also the Wushang Village Chief and that old codger who couldn’t mind his own business, the Lone Silence Ancestor. Even if all three evil path ancestors went together, they weren’t guaranteed to have any advantage.

The crowd had noticed the reaction of the Lone Silence Ancestor as well as the Black Yin Ancestor’s group, and the atmosphere turned strange.

“Master, I’m fine!” A young and aloof voice rang out in everyone’s ears as w.a.n.g Chong slowly raised his head. His face was pale and his breathing extremely weak, but his eyes were as sharp as ever as they settled on the Black Yin Ancestor.

“What is it? Black Yin Ancestor, did you think that since I was weak, this would be the perfect chance to do something to me?”

w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes seemed to stab into the Black Yin Ancestor like a sharp sword.

“Your Highness, where did this come from? We’re allies, and allies should naturally a.s.sist each other. Does this old man seem like the person to pull up the bridge behind him after crossing it?”

The Black Yin Ancestor’s heart s.h.i.+vered as he hastily lowered his head.

w.a.n.g Chong seemed like he could kill even G.o.ds if they tried to block his path at this moment, and the Black Yin Ancestor had no idea whether he could block even a few attacks from him. How could the Black Yin Ancestor dare to have any sort of schemes? He would at least wait until he had ascertained w.a.n.g Chong’s true power.

“Hmph, I hope so!”

w.a.n.g Chong grinned before casting aside the Black Yin Ancestor.

“Chong-er, your condition is very bad!” The worried voice of the Demonic Emperor Old Man resounded in w.a.n.g Chong’s mind. The Demonic Emperor Old Man understood his disciple well, and that display just now had only been enough to fool the Black Yin Ancestor, not him.

The stronger w.a.n.g Chong seemed, the worse the condition of his body actually was.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man couldn’t help but be worried.

“Master is perceptive! This Origin Immortal Sword is still not something I can control. That move was exceedingly powerful, but it absorbed vast amounts of my Psychic Energy and Stellar Energy. It will be at least three months before I can use the sword again!” w.a.n.g Chong sternly said.

Any power that exceeded one’s usual level of strength would come with an extraordinary price, and this was something that the Demonic Emperor Old Man was clearly aware of. w.a.n.g Chong had used the Origin Immortal Sword’s ‘Lightning Flash’ to kill all the men in black in one fell swoop.

But this feat had left him in an extremely feeble state. Without the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief supporting him, he would have already collapsed to the ground.

w.a.n.g Chong paused a moment before adding, “The Black Yin Ancestor is a crafty fox. No matter what, we can’t let them find out.”

“This…”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man had just been about to help w.a.n.g Chong recover his energy, but when he heard these words, he slightly frowned. ‘Profit brings together and breaks apart.’ No one understood more than him the backstabbing nature of the martial arts world.

If he were alone, he would have immediately entered hostilities with Song Yuanyi and the Black Yin Ancestor, but with w.a.n.g Chong here…

“Master, relax! I can deal with it!” w.a.n.g Chong calmly said.

Buzz!

w.a.n.g Chong waved a hand through the air. The images of Yin and Yang appeared on his palms and then exploded with an enormous pull. All the Origin Energy that the Origin Immortal Lord had retained here began to gather around in an azure fog and surge into w.a.n.g Chong’s body.

The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art!

An ordinary martial artist would need a long period of rest to recover from the injuries w.a.n.g Chong had sustained, but pract.i.tioners of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art needed only a few moments. This almost tangible Origin Energy gathered in w.a.n.g Chong’s body, restoring color to his wan face.
