A multi-stage slash in less than a second, completely exceeding the observation limit of ordinary people, mercilessly harvesting the opponent's life. Wang Chong half-crouched, letting Shiki Ryougi down, then stood up, turned around, and slowly said to the tall, sturdy figure: "You finally appeared, Araya Souren."
"Kill him quickly! Araya! Kill him quickly!" Like a stray dog, Alba barked wildly on the ground, completely unaware that if Araya Souren hadn't blocked, he would have already been on his way to the underworld.
"…" Araya Souren ignored Alba on the ground. He turned around, facing Wang Chong, and stared at him. Bloodstains appeared on his hands, and wounds appeared all over his body. These were the wounds from Wang Chong's seventeen-part division just now.
"Even the barrier couldn't catch him. What terrifying speed and agility. And with the protection of the barrier, plus my tempered body, I still got injured." Araya Souren thought to himself. In reality, although the exchange just now was only for an instant, Araya Souren deeply felt the strength of the person in front of him.
One must know that although Araya Souren was very ordinary in terms of magical talent, he had extremely high attainments in barriers, possessing a handful of techniques. The Six Realms he created based on his 'Stillness' origin were his specialty.
These Six Realms were: "Non-Dual", "Vajra", "Scorpion", "Insolent", "Summit Sutra", and "King's Manifestation". They expanded in planar and three-dimensional structures. As long as a creature touched the circular lines that formed them, their momentum would be instantly taken away. However, this time, Araya Souren's specialty had backfired in front of Wang Chong.
"Stop barking, Alba. This is between me and Araya Souren. Losers should act like losers, understand?" In an instant, Wang Chong threw three more Black Keys, directly targeting Alba, who was barking on the ground. After Wang Chong stabbed Alba's kidney, he had no strength to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the three Black Keys pinned him down.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
However, Araya Souren knocked down all these Black Keys, then spoke: "Who exactly are you, Your Excellency? And why are you interested in this girl?"
In fact, after Wang Chong took Shiki Ryougi from the Ryougi family, Araya Souren's hidden piece in the Ryougi family informed him of this. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent was in Aozaki Touko's workshop and he needed to make some preparations, Araya Souren would probably have already come to meet this guy who had disrupted his plans. And now, not only did the opponent leave Garando Hall, but he also swaggered around near his domain. This was simply a naked display of… no, it should be a provocation! It was utterly arrogant.
But, as a certain Transformer from the Moon Palace once said, arrogance requires ability. Daring to be so arrogant and swagger around in circles near him indicated that the opponent probably had strength commensurate with his arrogant actions. What made Araya Souren even more terrified was that he realized the opponent probably knew his goals and plans, which was why he was swaggering around with Shiki Ryougi in front of him.
Someone who knew his plans inside and out and acted so arrogantly was definitely not a fool. It was precisely because of this that Araya Souren did not jump out immediately. After careful consideration, he first let Alba try to lure the opponent into the apartment and test his depth. What he didn't expect was that the conflict between them erupted so quickly, and even more unexpectedly, Alba was so easily severely wounded by the opponent.
"Who am I? Heh heh…" Wang Chong activated the [Savior of the Wicked] aura, and a powerful pressure bore down on Araya Souren and Alba. Even Aozaki Touko, who had finally arrived from a distance, was somewhat affected. Of course, Shiki Ryougi was excluded by Wang Chong and unaffected.
"My name is Wang Chong, 20 years old. I live in Fuyuki City, unmarried. I work as a tutor, and I'm home by 8 PM at the latest every day. I don't smoke, and I only drink a little. I go to bed at 11 PM and make sure to get 8 hours of sleep. Before bed, I like to open champagne twice, then do 20 minutes of relaxing 'exercise' to warm up before sleeping. I usually sleep soundly until morning. Like a baby, I never leave fatigue and stress for the next day. Even the old bug says I'm very normal."
"Uh…" Araya Souren felt somewhat baffled by the opponent's self-introduction, but the oppressive aura was real, making him dare not act rashly.
"Didn't understand? In other words, I have no other desires; I just hope to live my life peacefully. Winning and losing are what I dislike most to fuss over. Because that only brings trouble and enemies. I am a contented person like that, and this is my philosophy of life. However, if I must make a move, I will not lose to anyone." Saying this, Wang Chong provocatively beckoned to Araya Souren.
Araya Souren now understood. The opponent's meaning was simple: if you want to fight, then fight quickly. Whatever the purpose or reason, only by fighting will the outcome be known. The victor has everything, the loser has nothing. This is the most obvious cruel truth in this world.
"Non-Dual, Vajra, Scorpion!"
Araya Souren waved his hand, and the barrier, under his manipulation, surged towards Wang Chong. Although the opponent's speed and footwork were strangely abnormal, for Araya Souren, who had rich combat experience, as long as he adapted to the opponent's rhythm, he would surely be able to catch him and neutralize him.
"[Goddess's Favor B], [Natural Body C]!"
Wang Chong directly activated his two continuous status skills. This time, he didn't dodge or evade, but directly crashed into the barrier lines attacking from Araya Souren. This scene somewhat startled Araya Souren, but Araya Souren would not give up such a good opportunity. Araya Souren manipulated the barrier, intending to bind Wang Chong directly.
"Flash."
But the next moment, Wang Chong appeared directly in front of Araya Souren, then punched Araya Souren in the face.
"Bang!"
One must know that this was a punch that could even suppress Kirei Kotomine's Bajiquan, plus Wang Chong had secretly used Ruinous Power to boost his body. This punch directly sent the large Araya Souren flying.
Araya Souren's brain was concussed by the punch, his consciousness almost plunging into darkness, completely unable to react to what had happened. Was this the strength a human should possess? Even the barrier on his body was shattered.
"Flash Step: Water Moon… Feast!" Wang Chong accelerated again, this time turning his fist into a claw. One claw tore open Araya Souren's flesh, blood was directly extracted, then converted into energy and absorbed by Wang Chong.
"This… this power that manipulates and absorbs blood… could it be a Dead Apostle!? But isn't he a Holy Church member? Could it be that those Black Keys were plundered from Executors who died by his hand?" Feeling his blood and vitality being directly plundered, Araya Souren was even more shocked. What kind of existence had he provoked?
"Dead Apostle… This is truly… unexpected." Even Aozaki Touko, who was watching from a distance, was secretly startled, and her curiosity was further piqued, becoming even more eager to know the opponent's true identity.
"Araya Souren, with your meager abilities, you still dare to snatch something I fancy, and even jump out to cause trouble. Today, I'll give you a lesson you'll never forget. Ruthless Combo, stack it up!" Wang Chong didn't even need to obviously use the Black Mist; just relying on internal amplification and the Goddess's blessing, he was able to mercilessly pummel Araya Souren in close-quarters combat.
Of course, this was also because Wang Chong unexpectedly landed a heavy blow on Araya Souren's head. Magicians rely most on their own will to cast spells, and if they're knocked silly, even with immense power, they can't concentrate enough to release it. Since Wang Chong seized this opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
Wang Chong's attack speed, under the passive effect of Ruthless Combo, stacked faster and faster. He released Feast whenever its cooldown was ready, ignoring any immunity effects, directly drawing the opponent's life to replenish his own stamina. Wang Chong could be said to have grown more energetic with each strike, and Araya Souren's body became the most suitable sandbag in his eyes.
"Bang!" Finally, with this punch, Wang Chong pierced through Araya Souren's chest, grabbed his heart, and said, "I know you've already completed the Soul Prototype. Your main body is still in this apartment. Killing this body isn't enough to truly kill you. But that doesn't mean I don't have a way to completely kill you. This time, it's a warning. From now on, this child, Shiki Ryougi, is my disciple. Touch her, and die!"
