Translator: Oneshotwonder Editor: Hitesh_
Charles looked around and found out that the two soldiers had been teleported away by Wang Tong and Ye Zi. Wang Tong set his palm on Tan Bu’s forehead, and before long, a few moving red dots appeared on the back of his hand. Wang Tong pulled a sullen face and let Ye Zi take over the healing.
Charles finally found out that something was amiss, and wondered if the drug he used on Wang Tong actually worked or not. It should have, since he had seen to it that they had consumed it last night. They shouldn’t have awakened up until the next day morning, so how did they manage to show up here right now?
“Hehe… Kid, fancy being a hero, don’t you? Leave the girl here and I will spare your life.” Charles demanded.
Charles’ words ignited the anger inside of Duo Lun. But, as he was about to close in onto the pervert for another round of attack, Wang Tong stopped him.
Wang Tong scanned the enemies around him and then shook his head with a smile. “There have only been two things that have really gotten on my nerve till now: the first is Patroclus’s betrayal, and the second one is yours.”
“Buzz off! Who do you think you are? You sound like Patroclus will care how you feel about him.” Charles said with conceit.
“Boss, I bet he thinks he is the heir of the Blade Warrior. What was that guy’s name again? He is long gone! Haha!”
“His name was Wang Tong…Ah, what a coincidence! It’s the same name as yours…” Even as Charles tried to finish his words, he and his cohorts sensed a force suddenly seize their body.
“What a coincidence, isn’t it?” Wang Tong said with a stone cold sneer.
Although Duo Lun and Ye Zi already knew Wang Tong’s real identity, Wang Tong’s disclosure of the truth had sent the two’s blood boiling.
“Kill! Kill him!” Charles shrieked with fear as he took half a step back.
The smirk on Wang Tong’s face evaporated, and with it, the temperature dropped by a few degrees. A few words stumbled out from in between his teeth, “Sometimes, humans are even more despicable than Zergs.”
Wang Tong snapped two fingers and one of the outlaw’s head burst open, blood and brain matter spraying all over the people around him. Fear was written on everyone’s face, but no one was able to move a hair.
“Are you afraid?” Wang Tong walked past a row of bandits, their heads exploding one after another.
Charles’ legs gave in as he watched the heads burgeon to the size of pumpkins before they burst like over-inflated balloons. He tried to break off the hold on his body using his level fifteen soul energy, but to no avail.
“You can’t kill me! I…I am the nephew of the major of the Jade City, Sanders. If you kill me, you will be the enemy of the Divine Mastery Sect.” Charles shouted.
“Sanders? Not even Michaux can make me stop.”
“Hold on! If you are really Wang Tong, let’s have a duel! Unless you are not! Unless you are a coward!” Charles’s eyes darted left and right as he tried to save his life with a last-ditch effort.
Suddenly, Charles felt that the constraint on his body had disappeared. He quickly took out an energy crystal and started chanting a spell. Ye Zi’s heart sank at the sight of the spell: it was a high-level Divine Master Sect spell which only a selected few were able to learn.
“Watch out! It’s Ice Matrix!” Ye Zi hurried to caution Wang Tong.
Charles let out an ugly smirk, “It’s too late!”
The energy crystal that Charles wielded was a “lifesaver”, a high tier powerful energy crystal that would allow him to unleash a level seventeen cold element spell.
“Zen… Zen… Zen!”
In a blink, a dozen or so ice spears lined up in a row and shot at Wang Tong from point blank.
“Die… Die… DIE!”
Even if Wang Tong was powerful enough to get out of harm’s way, one of the ice spears was bound to pierce right through the three behind him.
But, Wang Tong didn’t dodge, and the ice spears simply stopped cold in their tracks, continuing to float in the air.
“Is this your best?” Wang Tong asked. He reached out a finger and gently touched the ice. With that, the cold element suddenly reverted back to the natural force in its neutral state.
Elemental Conversion!
Ye Zi could no longer hold back her astonishment and gasped. She had only heard of such ability in great tales.
“Who… who are you? Only the Divine Master has the ability to convert element attributes.” Charles asked while shaking his head in denial.
“He is the only person who has defeated Michaux Odin. Save your breath. No one is going to save you today.” Duo Lun shouted in anger.
The man whom he only heard about in legends had been living right beside him all this while.
Out of sheer fright, Charles threw the dagger at Wang Tong, but it thudded onto the ground along with his hand.
With a swell of soft whir, a dozen or so golden wheels charged at Charles.
When Tan Bu finally woke up, he saw Wang Tong, Ye Zi, and Duo Lun standing right side him; he heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Tong had used his soul essence to expel the poison inside Tan Bu’s system and saved his life.
“Am I lucky or what? With such luck, I am deemed to enter the legendary level!” Tan Bu said with a smug smile.
“You are alive not because you are lucky, but thanks to Wang Tong.” Duo Lun helped Tan Bu to sit up.
“Where is our enemy?” Tan Bu asked.
“He is in many different pieces. Which piece are you talking about?” Wang Tong said coldly.
“Ah-ha! He got what he deserved! What a prick! No one save any strangers from now on, please!”
“Sorry, it’s all my fault.” Duo Lun blamed himself.
“You have done nothing wrong, Duo Lun. We just need to be careful. It is a tumultuous time, and we can’t easily trust anyone.” Wang Tong remarked.
Both Duo Lun and Tan Bu smiled and nodded.
“It sounds like we might have a tough nut to crack in Jade City. I have heard of many unsavory deeds of Sanders. But, Michaux couldn’t easily discipline him because of his excellent combat abilities. What is our plan?” Ye Zi asked.
Wang Tong was undeterred by the warning. “We will carry out our task. Even if we can’t get help from the Divine Mastery Sect, we can at least enlist some talents from amongst the mercenaries. Plus, if the Divine Mastery Sect was really corrupted as you said, I don’t mind helping Michaux instill some discipline into his men. “
Duo Lun and Tan Bu exchanged an admiring glance. However, Ye Zi was not sure what to think of Wang Tong’s words. She didn’t want a major conflict between Wang Tong and the Sect.
Seeing that Tan Bu had regained consciousness, Duo Lun pressed his mouth close to his ear and uttered a few words.
“Are you sure?”
“Ye Zi was there too. He said it himself. Haha!” Duo Lun laughed broadly.
“Duo Lun, we have struck lucky and met our savior. We need to work hard and pay him back for what he has done for us.”
“Of course! And, we will make a name for ourselves as well. You too, Ye Zi. You need to make a decision between Boss and your Sect.” Duo Lun announced.
Tan Bu struggled to his feet and pressed on, “Ye Zi, sorry for being so blunt, but please don’t pass up this opportunity. Follow boss so that you will have no regrets in your life.”
