Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 35 - : Rain of Arrows

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Rain of Arrows

Shi Hao gave Luo Qi a glance, then retracted his gaze, pretending not to see him.

What contempt!

Driven mad with rage, Luo Qi, who came from humble beginnings, had risen through the ranks by distinguishing himself at Starwind Academy. After joining the City Guard Army, his career skyrocketed, eventually earning him the position of Commander.

It could be said he had reached the pinnacle of his life, and unless he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, there was no more room for advancement.

Having hit a ceiling in his career, his focus shifted from hard work to pursuing personal pleasures and vanity.

Shi Hao’s contempt brought upon Luo Qi a humiliation he had never experienced before.

“Such audacity!” his eyes shot out a cold light, “If you don’t surrender now, don’t blame me, the Commander, for being ruthless!”

Shi Hao, as if deaf, continued walking towards Song Tianming.

Holy shit, this is just too arrogant!

Everyone was stunned. The City Guard Army was already there, yet Shi Hao persisted in his defiance?

This was tantamount to challenging the City Lord’s Mansion head-on.

You must understand that the City Lord is a martial master of the Intermediate Level, and although the difference between Intermediate and Primary seems small, their strength is worlds apart.

Moreover, with a thousand members of the City Guard Army, can you imagine how terrifying the combined force of so many Cloud-Piercing Crossbows would be?

Why do you refuse to see reason?

Is it because you are young and have become overly arrogant?

Alas, youth is still youth, after all.

Luo Qi eventually lost his patience, raising his right hand, “Aim at that madman!”

Swoosh, all soldiers of the City Guard Army raised their crossbow arrows, aiming at Shi Hao.

Seeing this, the Song Family members all displayed looks of joy.

Shi Hao was courting death.

No matter how powerful you are, you can’t confront the City Lord’s Mansion directly, with its war machinery; that’s not something one person can contend with.

Do you think you’re the legendary Martial Venerable?

“Madman, if you dare to take one more step forward, I will let you be showered in blood—damn it!” Luo Qi hadn’t finished speaking when Shi Hao had already taken more than one step, leaving the Commander green with fury.

This was an unabashed provocation.

“Fire!” he bellowed loudly, beside himself with anger.

Whizz whizz whizz, instantly, hundreds of crossbow arrows turned into a dense barrage, raining down on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t even bother to block, allowing the arrow storm to come at him.

Is this seeking death?

No other word seemed appropriate to describe it.

The Cloud-Piercing Crossbow was an enormous threat to martial disciples, one that could immobilize even an advanced martial disciple, while a martial master could knock away the incoming bolts with great power and reflexes.

However, once the number of Cloud-Piercing Crossbows reached a certain threshold, there became a tipping point where even martial masters could not block them all.

Thus, quantity leads to a qualitative change, and no martial master could confidently say they could withstand the force of an entire City Guard Army.

With hundreds of crossbow arrows firing at once, even an advanced martial master had to seek cover or face certain death.

As Shi Hao didn’t even attempt to defend himself from the onslaught of Cloud-Piercing Crossbows, wasn’t this simply seeking death?

Suddenly, the crowd from the Song Family burst into cheers.

This violent criminal… has finally died!

It had been too suffocating; the grand Song Family was pressed to their doorstep by a mere youth. What a humiliation!

Fortunately, he was now dead.

Although somewhat embarrassing, with two Primary Level martial masters present, the Song Family was still among the Five Great Noble Families. It’s just that the core of their power had suffered many casualties, and it would take a long time to recover.

In the arena, Shi Hao, who had been shot into a porcupine-like state, lifted his foot and took another step forward. The crossbow arrows that covered his body also began to fall off, revealing his figure.

Not a single scratch on him!

Heavens!

All the spectators were clutching their heads and crying out in amazement, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

How is that possible? How is that possible!

Those were Cloud-Piercing Crossbows, and when a hundred were fired at once, even a senior martial master would scream in pain, yet Shi Hao didn’t dodge or hide and let them shoot at him, without suffering a single injury.

How could anyone accept this?

This exceedingly handsome young man, was he human or a ghost?

Finally, they understood that Shi Hao was not just some young man who had lost his head in triumph; he possessed absolute strength.

How terrifying!

The Song Family’s cheers also came to an abrupt halt, as if scissors had suddenly cut off their vocal cords, and everyone wore expressions of bewilderment, incomprehension, and panic.

—Had they committed so many evils that now the heavens had sent down a deity to settle their sins?

The image of Shi Hao, unscathed by the arrow storm, was deeply etched into everyone’s mind. In their eyes, Shi Hao truly might as well be a god.

Luo Qi was also shaking with shock, his hands twitching. As the Commander of the City Guard Army, he was more aware than anyone of the terror of the Cloud-Piercing Crossbows, and thus he was the most shocked. But after the shock, a stronger killing intent sprouted within him.

It was intense jealousy.

“Keep shooting! Continue shooting!” he bellowed.

Luo Qi, as the Commander of the City Guard Army, had long been deeply respected, so even though the Soldiers of the City Guard Army were still shocked by Shi Hao’s incredible performance, they instinctively obeyed the command, loading new arrows and taking aim at Shi Hao.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, a new barrage of arrows filled the sky.

This time, Shi Hao didn’t just take the hits; instead, he burst forward with speed.

He had taken the hits just now to test his body’s strength, naturally invoking his forceful energy, and the results proved that the Cloud-Piercing Crossbows were no longer a threat to him.

Since that was the case, there was no need to take the hits any longer.

Whoosh, his explosive power was terrifying. With one dash, he had plunged into the ranks of the Song Family, arriving right in front of Song Tianming.

You must know, Shi Hao was now a sitting duck— who would dare stand with him, unafraid of stray arrows that had no eyes?

So, the Song Family scattered like a retreating tide, leaving only Song Tianming, alone and helpless, pushing the wheels of his wheelchair in an attempt to escape the dreaded Shi Hao.

This scene was a tremendous irony for the Song Family, and was a silent acknowledgment of Shi Hao’s strength.

“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Song Tianming was crying out.

“I won’t kill you,” Shi Hao said with a slight smile.

Song Tianming’s heart leapt with joy for a moment. Could it be that Shi Hao was sparing him out of consideration for their schoolmate relationship?

But just then, Shi Hao grabbed him and hoisted him high into the air behind him.

Dammit!

Song Tianming could see clearly that a rain of arrows was flying towards him.

He finally understood the meaning of Shi Hao’s words—it wasn’t that he wanted to spare him, but that he disdained to take action himself.

Thud thud thud, sharp arrows fell, mercilessly piercing through his body, instantly creating over a dozen transparent holes, blood spurting wildly. And the onslaught of arrows kept coming, creating new holes on his body.

In just a few breaths, Song Tianming was shot to pieces, with not a single intact piece of flesh or bone to be found.

The terror of the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow was evident for all to see!

It was ineffective against Shi Hao because he was far too strong, not because of any fault of the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow.

Shi Hao let go, turned around, and faced Luo Qi.

Feeling Shi Hao’s gaze upon him, Luo Qi immediately felt a chill over his entire body, as if he had caught the attention of the Grim Reaper.

He forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted, “Who told you to stop? Keep shooting!”
