The Human Emperor (200-400)

C370: Tibetan Scouts!

This was the first time Wang Chong had seen Zhao Yatong make a move. With a swing of her spear, crimson clouds reminiscent of flames shot forth, reaching out to a distance of seven zhang.

With a swift sweep of the crimson cloud, the man's head was already rolling in the air. Everything happened at an inconceivable pace.

That man was an expert himself, capable of avoiding being struck in his vitals even under the abrupt assault of the Eight Steps of the Furious Flood Dragon from Wang Chong. Yet, he wasn't able to dodge Zhao Yatong's spear at all.

Under that crimson spear, the thick layer of Stellar Energy shrouding him was decisively torn through in an instant.

Swift!, Wang Chong exclaimed inside.

It wasn't that the figure's reaction speed was lacking, but Zhao Yatong's spear was simply too fast. Even Wang Chong couldn't confidently say that he could stand against the spear given his current strength.

"The Zhao Clan's spearmanship is indeed incredible!" This was the first time Wang Chong had witnessed the true might of the Zhao Clan's Spear of Crimson Blaze.

When Bai Siling had said earlier that Zhao Yatong had a technique which allowed her to draw out strength beyond her current cultivation realm, Wang Chong had chuckled it off. However, it seemed that was no lie at the moment.

Peng!

When the head finally landed on the ground, it was as if a massive boulder had fallen into a calm lake. The crowd around the resting point finally woke up at this point.

"What is going on?"

"Why are they killing our own men?!"

"Are those fellows insane?"

"Capture them! Let's have them placed on a military trial!"

"Bastards, does the law mean nothing to them?"...

A huge commotion broke out amidst the crowd. Nearly every single soldier in the area flew into a rage. Before all of their eyes, these men actually murdered a cavalryman of their own! That was deranged!

The crowd slowly closed in on the area while some ran straight into the resting point to report the matter.

Staring at the corpse and fresh blood on the ground, they froze in shock.

Murder among fellow soldiers was a severe crime that warranted capital punishment!

With this turn of affairs, Zhao Yatong's complexion didn't look too good. Nevertheless, she still maintained her calm as she turned to Wang Chong with a questioning gaze.

It was under Wang Chong's prompt that she had made a move, but even at this point, she still wasn't too sure what was going on. Even so, she did reserve some trust for him.

Despite the furious bellows in the area, Zhao Yatong believed that there was a good reason behind Wang Chong's actions.

"Protect Wang gongzi!" Seeing that the circumstance was against them, Xu Gan, Bai Siling, and the others reacted immediately and rushed over to Wang Chong's side.

They, too, had no idea what had just happened, and they couldn't comprehend why Wang Chong would suddenly make a move on their own men. However, they had already established a circle of common interests with him, so their first reaction was to protect him.

After all, while the others might be oblivious to it, Wang Chong was the grandson of Duke Jiu, as well as the potential successor of the Wang Clan. Even among the scions in the capital, he was one of the most respected figures.
