The Human Emperor (200-400)

C243: First Blood of True Martial Realm Expert!

"This is bad!"

Seeing the halo, Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka's faces darkened. They immediately realized that they had picked a difficult opponent. The 'Halo of Bog' was a type of halo unique to Goguryeons. While it was, in essence, a strength-type halo, due to the unique geographical terrain of the Goguryeons, it carried the effects similar to a bog, thus limiting the movement of their opponent while boosting their own strength.

This halo would only appear in the hands of a few rare elites among the Goguryeon warriors.

Initially, Wang Chong had wanted to start out with a slightly stronger opponent, but Miyasame Ayaka seemed to have made a mistake in her selection of opponent.

"Gongzi, be careful!"

At this moment, Miyasame Ayaka had also noticed her mistake. The enemy was clearly much stronger than her.

Most likely, the other party had been staked out in waiting for them.

"Hahaha, you two pesky brats. Recently, more than ten warriors have disappeared from the first base. If I'm not mistaken, the both of you are the culprits, right?"

The one-eyed fatty chuckled as he examined Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka with his only eye. This time around, he spoke in the tongue of the Central Plains.

He was no fool. Considering how the two fellows intentionally provoked him and drew him here, there was a good chance that they were involved in the consecutive disappearance of their men a while back.

"Die!" With a savage grin, a powerful might roared around the one-eyed fatty, and instantaneously, it seemed as though Miyasame Ayaka and Wang Chong had sunk into a heavy, viscous bog.

The halo of a True Martial realm expert wasn't just for show. Harnessing the law of nature, they allowed one to tap into the natural energy of the environment to bring out might far greater than their own limits.

And with his enhanced strength, the one-eyed fatty was completely suppressing Miyasame Ayaka and Wang Chong.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At the same moment that he activated the Halo of Bog, the one-eyed fatty charged up toward Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka with his three sabers.

He had intentionally waited for Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka to come into proximity before activating his halo so as to catch the both of them off-guard. Wrapped around in the power of his halo, the both of them would find themselves panicked and unable to escape.

For at least ten breaths from now, Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka's foot movements were sealed, and this was more than enough for him to clear them up.

"Pay for the lives of those warriors with your own!" Three sabers fell frenziedly toward Miyasame Ayaka and Wang Chong as though a storm, and in an instant, the both of them were put in an extremely difficult position.

Both Spectre Steps and Phantom Steps were extraordinary secret arts, but it just happened that the one-eyed fatty's Aura of Bog was a perfect counter against them.

Like an ordinary human wading through a marsh, even taking a single step forward was highly difficult for them at the moment.

A swift leopard falling into a marsh would find his fighting prowess reduced exponentially, and Wang Chong and Miyasame Ayaka were in the exact same position.

"Yiiii! ——"

Suddenly, a piercing shrill sounded from the distance. Wang Chong's heart jolted. This was the signal that he agreed on with King Song's master archer.
