Chapter 237: The Power of a Single Arrow, Terrifying Beyond Measure!

Upon seeing that the massive bow, resembling two flood dragons intertwined, whether it was the Xiao family members or the Netherworld Dharma King, they all had a momentary loss of composure, their hearts violently shaken.

As one of the three major sects of Yunzhou, the legend of Wind Thunder Valley's Town Grain Divine Weapon has spread widely abroad.

It is said that this bow was crafted by the founding ancestor of Wind Thunder Valley, who, after slaying the ancient evil flood dragon that had wreaked havoc in the Pinglan River, used its demonic body together with various heavenly treasures and earthly riches to forge it.

The bow seals the remnant soul of the ancient evil flood dragon, and two quasi-sages have nurtured it day and night with their martial will, granting it spiritual awareness.

Within Wind Thunder Valley, aside from the generations of valley masters, not even the true disciples of each peak's elders are qualified to wield this bow.

Yet now, this bow has actually appeared in the hands of a Demon Suppression Office Colonel, which is truly incomprehensible and unbelievable.

"Just what is this kid's relationship with Nie Jin Feng? Earlier, he used True Gang as his escort, and now he's even been given the Town Grain Divine Weapon. Could he be Nie Jin Feng's illegitimate son?"

Xiao Chang Gong was both startled and angry.

If it weren't for Nie Jin Feng's meddling last time, how could the Xiao family have suffered this misfortune?

Thus, upon seeing Qin Shuo wielding the Wind Thunder Subduing Flood Dragon Bow at this moment, boundless hatred surged in his heart.

"He had better be."

Xiao Ying Qi's eyes glowed icy cold, "That way, that old bastard can also taste the pain of losing kin!"

Bang!

Before he finished speaking, the arrow he had already charged to its limit in his hand shot out instantly.

The instant the arrow left the string, it lost its original color, turning into a silver-white streak of light that drew a qi trace hundreds of zhang long in the air,

At a glance, it seemed as if the sky above the valley had been split in two.

This arrow was as fast as lightning!

Before the Ghost Mother Sect's assassins could hear the thunderous twang of the bowstring, the arrow had already closed to within one zhang of Qin Shuo.

Such arrow light, such speed!

Even the Netherworld Dharma King, renowned for speed, felt a chill down his spine and sensed a grave danger.

He reckoned that, if it were him facing this arrow, his chance to dodge would be less than fifty percent.

This is still on solid ground, where he could borrow force; if he were in midair, he would have to take it head-on.

The arrow light arrived in an instant!

Just as everyone thought Qin Shuo would be pierced by this sudden arrow, his ascent suddenly slowed,

then, in everyone's sight, he abruptly changed direction, treading the wind to evade Xiao Ying Qi's lethal arrow.

Whoosh!

The missed arrow let out a long whistling sound as it landed on a hill opposite the valley.

Thud!

That hill seemed to have been hit by a shell, exploding with a boom, shrapnel flying, smoke and dust rising to the sky.

"He actually dodged it!"

Xiao Ying Qi's face darkened as he drew the bow again, storing power to fire a second arrow.

Seeing this, the Xiao family members loosed arrows to block Qin Shuo's evasion space in midair, aiming to give Xiao Ying Qi a chance to shoot again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh

The arrows tore through the air, penetrating the wind and gusts, locking onto Qin Shuo's position from all directions, aiming to kill him in midair.

Those left behind by Xiao Ying Qi were naturally all experts of the Xiao clan.

Drawing their bows together, it seemed as if ten thousand were firing at once, a terrifying momentum.

Yet although Qin Shuo was in midair, his agility did not diminish but increased; the gusts raised by more than a dozen arrows were not obstacles but became the foundation for his Wandering Dragon Riding Wind Step.

Thus, in the eyes of the Ghost Mother Sect members on the ground, Qin Shuo appeared like a fish swimming in water, swaying left and right,

no matter how fiercely those arrows came, not a single one could touch the hem of his clothes.

Moreover, while dodging, the youth actually had spare energy, slowly drawing back his longbow.

That was a fearsome divine bow.

Its bow resembled two tightly coiled azure dragons, its whole body emanating explosive power.

As the bowstring, tightly gripped by the two dragon heads, was slowly drawn back, an extremely ferocious and domineering aura began to permeate the valley's sky.

In an instant, winds rose and clouds surged above the valley, and the light dimmed.

Strands of electric light appeared out of nowhere, twining around the towering bow as tall as a person; pure white clouds were caught in the gale, descending from the azure heavens and sinking into the black iron arrows.

The entire valley's airflow seemed to have found the eye of the wind, swarming inward and producing a fine, sharp humming.

"What is this?"

Almost the instant Qin Shuo drew his bow, Xiao Ying Qi, standing on the mountain peak, felt his heart jolt violently, his eyes showing an incredulous expression.

"Sun-Shooting Arrow Method?"

Xiao Ying Qi's face changed drastically; just as he was about to speak a warning, he felt a large swath of airflow before him violently torn away,

that powerful suction and pull, like a giant whale feeding, nearly snatched his bow and arrow away as well.

The Netherworld Dharma King on the ground felt even more strongly that the valley's airflow had been emptied for a moment,

Then immediately…

Boom—!

As if heavenly thunder had fallen!

At the instant the bowstring twanged, no one could see the arrow anymore; all that met the eye was a blindingly brilliant pillar of light.

Boom!

In the instant the light pillar pierced the air, terrifying gusts like a flood and tsunami swept to both sides, revealing a pitch-black, deep vacuum tunnel, as if the sky had been shot through and split in two.

At that moment, everyone's mind held only a single thought.

That is……

The heavens were torn apart!

Yes!

It was torn open, not pierced through.

The same Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique.

The same Cloud-Shattering, Moon-Splitting.

In Qin Shuo's hands, compared to in Xiao Yingqi's hands, it's literally heaven and earth.

It seemed as if ten thousand hectares of dust and smoke were instantly cleared; wherever the light pillar pointed, the dust and smoke airflow were all destroyed.

Even the arrows shot by the Xiao clan's people were directly shredded by the wind wall entailed by the light pillar.

Caught off guard, even some Xiao clan disciples were blown off the cliff by a hurricane.

The others, though they reacted in time, all staggered, unable to stand firm, and could only hastily raise their protective aura.

In horrified forward gaze, they suddenly felt the heavens' canopy change color.

The black iron arrow that had gathered the entire valley's airflow now emitted an extremely blinding crimson-gold light,

becoming the sole color between heaven and earth in that instant.

Can't dodge!

Can't avoid!

Can't retreat!

In the blink between life and death, Xiao Yingqi's eyes turned fully red, his mind filled only with disbelief.

How did this Qin-surname person learn the Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique?

Why is the power of his Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique so vastly superior to my own?

In comparison, the Cloud-Shattering, Moon-Splitting I just displayed is practically a joke.

Boom!

Like a beast's roar, it exploded from within Xiao Yingqi's body—the sound of the true aura furnace shattering.

Clang!

In less than a breath, the surging to the extreme true aura erupted completely, and in the flash of lightning and fire surged into his sturdy, iron-like arms.

Xiao Yingqi crossed his arms, and before him the five-colored true aura wove into a shield, seeking to block this arrow.

This five-colored true aura was based on his innate true aura, to which he added the fusion of four top-tier true aura cultivations.

In terms of defensive power, it rivals the Buddhist sect's top-tier Indestructible Golden Body.

Bang!

Yet, the five-colored true aura he prided himself on, under the arrow light that seemed capable of piercing everything and shattering myriad things, could not even withstand for an instant.

In just a moment, the true aura was destroyed.

The external training he had honed for twenty years was as fragile as paper, and his arms were pierced through in an instant,

The arrow light struck straight at his chest!

"Roar!"

Xiao Yingqi's blood and qi boiled throughout his body, his clothes and hair flying, his eyes nearly bursting, as he sought to muster all his strength to shift sideways in an instant to evade the arrow's edge.

However, things went against his wishes.

Pfft!

As if a water bag had been pierced through.

The crimson arrow light pierced his chest and exited from his back,

then, in an extremely ferocious posture, it shot and killed a Xiao clan Condensed True Realm elder, after which it fell onto the mountain peak behind him.

Boom!

The earth shook and the mountains trembled.

The shattered aura and airflow scattered violently, directly blowing away several nearby Xiao clan disciples, who flew sideways and spat blood.

Where the arrow landed, half the cliff directly collapsed and shattered, ten thousand catties of massive stones rolled down, emitting a thunderous roar that shook the mountains and forests.

The might of a single arrow reached such an extent!

The airflow that had just been pushed to the sides again turned into rolling gales that howled forth, producing a terrifying roar like a mountain collapse and tsunami.

Silence!

A deathly silence!

The valley that had just been shouting battle cries seemed to lose its sound in an instant.

Everyone's gaze toward the youth standing in midair became stiff and horrified.

"This arrow?!"

The Netherworld Dharma King's eyes turned horrified, his back soaked, and his whole body's hair nearly stood on end.

Although he didn't know how strong Xiao Yingqi truly was, the fact that he could condense five top-tier true aura into a furnace already demonstrated his strength.

You should know, the Nine Dragon Tyrant Body, acclaimed as the number one divine technique under heaven, is merely a condensation of nine top-tier true aura into a furnace.

Xiao Yingqi's ability to condense five-colored true aura means his strength is absolutely enough to overwhelm peers,

and even far surpass them.

However…

Yet such strength was still instantly killed by a single arrow!

"This kind of archery, could it perhaps be a divine ability?"

The Netherworld Dharma King felt somewhat numb, his forehead also slightly sweaty.

Although he knows, such a vicious arrow, the person surnamed Qin may not be able to fire a second one.

But, who dares to gamble?

In the next second, he didn't think, directly performed the Five Ghosts Translocation Technique,

He escaped!
