Seeing such a great opportunity, Xiao Yixian lifted her fair jade hand before her, palm down, her scallion-white fingers slightly curled.

Strands of ink-black dense battle qi surged forth rapidly from within her five fingers.

In her palm, a ball the size of a head formed.

She then extended another jade hand, making a grasping motion in the air, and a long bow condensed from purplish-brown battle qi appeared in her hand.

She then pressed the ball of special toxic yin battle qi that had formed earlier directly onto the bowstring.

When the bowstring was nearly drawn to a full moon, Xiao Yixian bit her tongue tip.

She sprayed her poison-laced blood into the arrow.

Then Xiao Yixian aimed the arrow at Lue Feng Zunzhe and released her grip on the bowstring.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a tearing sound, a three-to-four-meter-long black arrow shot extremely fast toward the target.
