Chapter 45: The Dwarf's Whirlwind Spell Throws Thunder

  The dwarf jumped from the seat to the center, instantly causing everyone to burst out laughing. However, Wang Guang did not laugh, but only said a word of encouragement, expecting the other party to perform.

  Everyone burst out laughing, not because what he said was funny, but because the appearance of this short and fat guy was really comical. Originally less than three feet tall, his body was all fat, his neck couldn't be seen, and he looked like a ball of meat. He jumped out from among the seats, just like a bouncing ball of meat. That's why everyone burst out laughing.

  That dwarf didn't care about the crowd's laughter, he just let out a cold snort, bowed his head and made a gesture, without saying his name, loudly shouted: "Everyone, I see that there are only ordinary performances at this banquet, but no martial artists' skills. To add some fun to the party, I'll personally take the stage to perform."

  He didn't wait for the master to speak, his body spinning wildly in place, flames spewing from his mouth and nose. The flames wrapped around his body, instantly transforming him into a fireball that revolved in the center. The fireball darted up and down, hitting the ceiling and floor, colliding with pillars left and right. However, it didn't ignite any of the wooden objects, revealing his skillful control over the flames.

  The dwarf stumbled and staggered about, causing the guests to burst into laughter. Just as the dwarf turned into a ball of fire and shot upwards, a practitioner suddenly jumped onto the scene and shouted loudly: "Come! Come! Come! It's no fun with just one person, I think it would be better if we two had a match."

  This qigong practitioner was over ten feet tall, but he was extremely thin and dry, like a bamboo pole. He wore a tight-fitting Taoist robe that made his bony frame stand out clearly.

  The tall and thin practitioner of Qi Gong let his hair down, a long hair transformed into a large black net in the air, spinning around and covering the fireball.

  Where will the fireball allow the big net to cover? The fireball is flying up and down, while the big net is swaying left and right. You want to be a fish that slips through the net, I want to be a fisherman who has a bountiful harvest. For a moment, the hall was quiet because of the two people competing, suddenly there was no sound of birds chirping.

  Wang Guang, who was standing by, saw this move and immediately felt an itch to join in. If not for his own family's reputation, he would have secretly protected the prince and used his divine powers to fight these two Qi-refining warriors a round. On one hand, it would increase his own combat experience, on the other hand, it was also to get familiar with some Qi-refining warriors, so that in the future when doing things, there would be someone to rely on.

  It wasn't long before some Qi practitioners or those who controlled magical artifacts appeared, or even took out their weapons and joined the fray. In no time at all, seven or eight Qi practitioners had arrived on the scene for various reasons to engage in a fierce battle. However, they were all careful to control their own strength, lest their powers surge out of control and accidentally harm some of the guests.

  The scene gradually became chaotic, and Wang Guang didn't dare to continue watching the fight in the center of the field. He shifted his attention to focus on the prince wrapped in purple smoke.

  Just as Wang Guang shifted his attention to the prince, the dwarf who had gone down first suddenly transformed into a fireball and disappeared, revealing a dizzy and staggering dwarf. "No more, no more, this dizziness is making me nauseous, I can barely stand."

  As they spoke, the dwarf stumbled and staggered into a table, knocking it over, and a whole table of fine wine and delicacies spilled all over his body. The guests behind the table were shocked and hastily retreated backwards. His guards also rushed forward to isolate the dwarf. For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on the dwarf. Even Wang Guang couldn't help but be distracted by the commotion.

  "Could it be that the dwarf wants to save that guest?" A thought flashed through his mind.

  But before the thought had even landed, a black light suddenly drilled out of one of the pillars in the hall. The black light brought with it an evil wind that viciously pierced through a guest wearing armor. As soon as the black light entered his body, the guest let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground. His guards were still trying to come back to their senses when the armored guest let out a loud cry of "Kill me!" before losing all breath and dying.

  "An assassin!" The crowd suddenly panicked. The patriarch of the Luo family, who was sitting in the center, had his hands shaking, a cup of fine wine spilled on the beauty's body, exposing her curves, but at this moment, no one dared to take a closer look.

  Seeing this situation, Wang Guang was greatly shocked. Without thinking, he directly jumped to the surrounding of the prince and flipped his hand to take out a copper ball the size of a longan from his waist bag and grasped it tightly in his hand.

  Panic, instantly the guests and hosts were all terrified. Some guards came to protect their masters, while some practitioners released their secret techniques to check the surroundings, but it was actually to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to assassinate their own master.

  After the biggest disturbance, except for that dead guest, no one else was stabbed. Only then did everyone gradually calm down. Wang Guang also took advantage of the opportunity to hide in a dark place, so as not to be seen by many people.

  Although everyone suspected the dwarf and his master behind him, no one said it out loud. The guests were all big shots with a reputation to uphold, so they whispered among themselves before dispersing. The prince also lost interest in staying here, scolded the head of the Luo family, and left with his entourage. Wang Guang secretly followed them to provide protection.

  The prince rode in a carriage, with Wang Guang following closely behind. The practitioners and guards surrounding the prince were all on high alert, wary of potential threats to the prince's safety along the way.

  All the way uneventful, it was only after arriving at the prince's mansion that a Qi practitioner and dozens of symbol soldiers overturned the floorboards on the street, crawling out to attack the prince's carriage. However, they were blocked by seven or eight Qi practitioners and a group of guards. Except for the escape of the Qi practitioner, dozens of symbol soldiers were all beheaded on the ground, struggling in agony for a long time before bleeding to death.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable!" After seeing the prince enter the mansion, Wang Guang secretly let out a sigh of relief. Originally, he wanted to follow him in, but there were more Qi Practitioners inside the mansion, among whom was a powerful cultivator sitting cross-legged on top of a tall tower, with a strong divine sense carefully observing the entire mansion. With Wang Guang's current abilities, if he stepped into the mansion, he would be discovered instantly.

  "This group of people is also somewhat foolish. If I were the mastermind behind the scenes, I would definitely take advantage of the opportunity to assassinate him once during the banquet, once on the way, and again at the gate of the mansion when he returns. Heh heh! At that time, I will hide a real killer in the mansion, and I don't believe it won't be done with this prince. It's just a pity that I don't know if those people thought of this point." As he pondered, the sky gradually brightened, and unexpectedly, the banquet had consumed an entire night.

  Just as Wang Guang was pondering, a shout for murder came from the prince's mansion, and he felt a fluctuation in the Taoist technique. He heard the sound of thunder rumbling. After a short while, a black light flew out of the prince's mansion, followed by a large hand that seemed to want to grab the black light.

  "Good job! He's indeed a ruthless character." Seeing that the assassin was actually a Qi cultivator, Wang Guang couldn't help but feel admiration. "Brother Cow's friend, this is a prince of the imperial family who has just risen to power! If you really kill him, not only will your soul be scattered and never reincarnated, but also the sect you belong to will decline, and even your master won't live for long."

  Although he admired the Qi cultivator, Wang Guang's movements didn't slow down in the slightest. With a flick of his wrist, he sent out a burst of crimson copper sand. The copper sand exploded into dozens of chains that danced in mid-air, resembling a python as they struck at the Qi cultivator with ferocity.

  Three to five drops down, the black light dissipated, and a black-robed Qi cultivator appeared inside. This Qi cultivator stared at Wang Guang with eyes full of venom, but before he could say anything, he was caught off guard by a large hand that came from behind. With a cracking sound, this Qi cultivator's brain burst open under the big hand's grip, and his flesh scattered all over the ground like minced meat.

  The big hand waved in front of Wang Guang and then disappeared into thin air.

  Just as Wang Guang thought that today's matter had come to an end, the imperial prince's mansion suddenly erupted into chaos again. In a short while, a black light shot up into the sky and flew hundreds of feet high before suddenly bursting open and turning into clouds of black smoke that spread throughout the entire imperial city.

  There was a black smoke floating over his body, and Wang Guang did not resist, letting the black smoke attach itself to him.

  Black smoke drifted to a distant mansion, and a pagoda suddenly appeared in the air above the mansion. The golden light of the pagoda flashed, not only dispersing the black smoke but also sending dozens of light columns, each over one zhang thick, towards the mansion where the prince was located. One of the light columns even shot towards Wang Guang.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! You demon dare to hurt me!" Wang Guang roared, flipping his hand and flinging out the crimson copper sand. The crimson copper sand whirled around in mid-air, transforming into a grinding disc one zhang in diameter that hovered before him, instantly blocking the incoming light pillar.

  The light pillar struck the copper sand, only blasting a thick layer of copper sand into a scattered and crawling mess. If it weren't for Wang Guang having just merged his Wu Chen Sha into the copper sand a few days ago, the light pillar would have definitely blown his treasure to smithereens.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable! Qi Sha Poor Dao." Wang Guang roared in anger, his hands clasped together, and three to five dark thunders emerged from his hands. This Dark Thunder had just been cultivated by him to the second layer a few days ago, but its power was at least three to five times greater than that of the first layer.

  After throwing the three to five dark thunders at the light pillar in the mansion, Wang Guang didn't care whether the prince he was protecting was dead or not. He opened his mouth and sprayed a stream of green smoke to wrap around his own body, then transformed into a green light and rushed towards the mansion that attacked him.

  Three to five dark thunders had not yet fallen on the mansion when they were chopped off by a flying sword. Wang Guang was not surprised, he pulled out the gourd from his waist, opened the stopper and shot a dark thunder inside, then threw the entire gourd downwards.

  In mid-air, the gourd burst open and scattered out thousands of dark thunderbolts. Some were smoking, some were on fire, and others spewed forth black winds that scattered dust and dirt. For a moment, thousands of dark thunderbolts pressed down heavily towards the mansion.

  "What kind of evil spirit is this, daring to defy the imperial edict? You don't even put the emperor's orders in your eyes, and you still don't come out quickly to accept death, so as not to waste my energy." King Guang shouted loudly, put down the dust on his waist, swung both hands, and two golden giant palms followed thousands of dark thunders and slapped towards the central position of this mansion.
