Chapter 278 - 126: Suppression, Despair! Heaven and Earth, Reversed! Kill
"Young Miss!"
The eyes of the surrounding members of the Cao and Li Families nearly burst from their sockets. They charged forward recklessly, trying to intercept them.
In the nick of time!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Hiding in the shadows on the other side, Zhao Tianxing and the disciples of the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall finally made their move!
Several Black Kite Arrows, also shimmering with a crescent moon-like glow, shot through the air. They were aimed precisely at Lin Luoxue and the black-clothed man, forcing them to turn their swords to parry!
The incessant CLANGING of metal on metal rang out. Although the arrows were all split apart, the volley successfully halted their pursuit of Li Qingxue!
And in that fleeting instant, Chu Fan’s second arrow arrived!
This arrow was silent, yet faster and more vicious!
Its target was the back of the black-robed man’s heart—the one who was severely wounded, had lost an arm, and was struggling to get back up!
The black-robed man, still reeling from the pain of his severed arm and the injury to his soul, felt the Death Qi approaching from behind and was scared out of his wits!
His survival instinct made him frantically circulate his remaining Primordial Qi. He barely managed to turn around and hastily conjure a Primordial Qi Shield!
But the shield had just begun to ripple into existence, not yet fully formed...
PSHHHT!
The Black Kite Arrow, imbued with the "Breaking Gang" Trait, tore through the incomplete shield as easily as if it were a thin sheet of paper. It plunged precisely into his chest, the arrowhead emerging from his back!
The terrifying force of the arrow actually lifted the black-robed man’s body off the ground, sending it flying toward Li Qingxue, who had just landed and was struggling to rise!
"Urgh..."
Blood trickled from the corner of Li Qingxue’s mouth. Seeing the black-robed man’s corpse flying toward her, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes. She grit her teeth, forcibly summoned a breath of Primordial Qi, and swung her Long Saber forward with all her might!
A flash of saber light!
A head, still wearing its black hood, soared into the air! Blood gushed from the severed neck like a fountain!
The Divine Power Realm black-robed man was dead!
Having expended all her strength in that final strike, Li Qingxue’s vision went black. She collapsed, limp, to the ground, where the Li Family guards rushed in to protect her, forming a tight circle.
All of this, though it takes long to describe, happened in the span of just a few breaths!
The previously clamorous battlefield seemed to have been put on pause.
The sounds of battle and the clash of weapons came to an abrupt halt.
The men from the Moon Worship Sect and Seven Stars Castle, whether they were actively fighting or holding the rear, all froze in place, staring blankly at the headless black-robed corpse.
And at the head that had rolled onto the ground, its eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.
’He’s... dead?’
’An envoy of the Divine Power Realm... gone just like that?’
’How could this be?!’
’Their side clearly only has a Spirit Awakening Realm archer hiding in the shadows!’
’How does he dare?!’
’How could he possibly assassinate someone in the Divine Power Realm?!’
Shock, bewilderment, fear... all sorts of emotions spread like a plague through the hearts of the men from the Moon Worship Sect and Seven Stars Castle.
As for Cao Feng, Cao Yan, and the others, they were stunned at first, but then overwhelming joy flooded their faces!
"A beautiful kill!" Cao Feng, though covered in blood, roared with laughter, as if to expel all his earlier suppression and despair.
The eyes of everyone from the Cao and Li Families turned red.
They had thought their defeat was certain.
Who would have thought that in their desperate plight, this sudden arrow would kill one of the enemy’s strongest combatants? It was like a blazing fire thrown into a dark abyss, instantly igniting hope in the hearts of all the Seven Stars Gang survivors!
But just as this hope was kindled, an even more terrifying killing intent erupted like a volcano!
"You little bastard! Die!"
The other black-robed man, who hadn’t moved until now, let out a sharp, bizarre cry.
His figure transformed into a trail of distorted black smoke, moving even faster than the previous black-robed man! Shrouded in a monstrous, furious killing intent, he shot straight toward the mouth of the alley where Chu Fan was hiding!
Beneath his mask, the corner of Chu Fan’s mouth curved into a cold smirk.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, his figure darting out of the alley like an agile monkey.
He sprinted along the edge of the Martial Arts Arena while drawing his bow and nocking another arrow!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Three Black Kite Arrows flew toward the charging black-robed man in a triangular formation.
But the black-robed man had clearly learned from his companion’s mistake and didn’t dare to catch them with his bare hands. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
His wide sleeves billowed like black clouds. Infused with Primordial Qi, they actually wrapped around each of the incoming arrows before flinging them forcefully away!
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
The flung arrows shattered, piece by piece, in mid-air!
The power of a Divine Power Realm expert was on full display!
But Chu Fan’s target had never been him!
Just as the black-robed man thought Chu Fan was going to play cat and mouse with him, Chu Fan’s running direction suddenly changed. The tip of his Sunset Bow swiveled in an instant, locking onto a new target—Jiang Lianyue, who was locked in a fierce battle with Cao Yan.
This Jiang Lianyue also used a Fast Sword style. Her Sword Techniques were sharp and fierce. Her speed surpassed even Lin Luoxue’s, and her aura was only slightly weaker than that of the black-robed men!
Chu Fan didn’t recognize Jiang Lianyue.
He only knew, based on his perception at that moment, that she was the strongest person there aside from the two black-robed men.
Therefore, he wanted to eliminate her as quickly as possible!
At that moment, Jiang Lianyue was working with a companion to press Cao Yan, forcing him into a perilous situation.
Just as she was about to severely injure Cao Yan...
An ice-cold killing intent instantly enveloped her!
"What?"
Jiang Lianyue’s heart trembled. Without time for a second thought, she immediately abandoned her attack on Cao Yan.
As her figure shot backward, a solid Primordial Qi Shield instantly materialized in front of her!
She was extremely confident in her shield.
Not even Chen Xuan, the number one Divine Archer of Cyan Yang Ancient City, could hope to break it with a single arrow!
But in the next moment, a sight she would regret for the rest of her life appeared...
The crescent-shaped streak of light seemed to ignore the distance between them, arriving before her the very instant her shield took form!
There was no loud crash, only a soft "HISS."
Like a bubble popping...
The Primordial Qi Shield she had placed so much faith in was as fragile as paper before that bizarre arrow, pierced with ease!
’Impossible...’
That one word was all that flashed through Jiang Lianyue’s mind before she felt a cold sensation in her chest, followed by an indescribable, searing pain that instantly spread throughout her entire body!
She looked down in disbelief at the black arrow piercing her chest.
Blood was still dripping from the arrowhead.
