Chapter 645: Target: Kill Donghuang!

"Whoosh——!"

An arrow so fast that even time and space seemed to stagnate for it shot out from the depths of the void without any warning!

The arrow's target was neither those ten Xiao Jin Wu, nor the carriage and palanquin where Gu Yuan was, but the weakest link in the encirclement formed by the Ten Great Monster Sages!

"Be careful!"

Jiuying's pupils shrank sharply; the Sun Essence Wheel and Moon Essence Wheel manifested, blocking in front of his body.

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out.

An Innate Supreme Treasure was actually pierced through by a single arrow!

The Nine Nether Profound Fiend Qi attached to the arrow exploded with a boom, blasting Jiuying's entire person into a backwards flight, a mouthful of golden monster blood spraying across the long sky.

A black-robed figure carrying a giant black bow on his back, with a cold stern face like ice, slowly stepped out from the void.

Dayi!

The moment he appeared, a strand of icy bone-piercing killing intent completely froze the space within a million li radius.

"Wu Clan!"

The remaining eight Great Monster Sages were both shocked and angry; they all sacrificed their magic treasures, firmly protecting Gu Yuan and the Xiao Jin Wu in the center.

They stared dead at Dayi, as if facing a great enemy.

This was the legendary First Divine Archer of the Wu Clan, who once had the terrifying battle record of an arrow falling a Great Luo.

However, Dayi merely calmly glanced at them once, his gaze finally landing on Gu Yuan.

He did not make a move again.

He knew that with the Nine Great Monster Sages here, especially with that mysterious Donghuang Bell, the best opportunity to strike had already been lost.

Dayi did not speak another word of nonsense; he stowed the black bow, turned, and stepped into the vanishing void, disappearing without a trace.

He came abruptly, and left even more decisively.

The Nine Great Monster Sages watched the direction of his departure, looking at each other in dismay, all breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Finally... he left.

"Hmph, he ran fast!"

Gui Che coldly snorted, helped Jiuying up, and probed his Divine Sense into Jiuying's body, discovering that the Nine Nether Profound Fiend Qi clinging to the wound was incomparably sinister and vicious, continuously eroding Jiuying's Dao Fruit.

He hurriedly mobilized his own magic power to help Jiuying suppress the injury, but his mouth spoke disdainfully: "It seems this Wu Clan Great Witch is nothing more than this; seeing us Ten Great Monster Sages here, he only dared loose a single cold arrow before fleeing with his tail between his legs."

"Right." Fei Lian nodded in agreement, storms swirling around his body, vigilant of the surroundings, "That old fellow Di Jiang must have muddled his head, thinking that sending an archer over could do anything to us? Simply a joke!"

The remaining few Great Monster Sages also nodded one after another, their hearts greatly settled.

In their view, Dayi's act was more like a provocation, a kind of impotent rage.

After all, with Great Emperor Taiyi here, with the Innate Supreme Treasure Donghuang Bell suppressing Qi Qi, who would dare truly run wild?

Inside the carriage and palanquin.

Gu Yuan did not speak.

He lifted a corner of the carriage curtain; on his pale face no expression could be seen, merely quietly watching that stretch of earth below baked into scorched earth by the Taizhen.

His gaze swept over those cracked riverbeds, swept over those living beings' charred corpses turned to coke.

Finally, it fell upon those ten Xiao Jin Wu who, because of the sudden change just now, were frightened into trembling, one by one reverting to their fluffy forms, huddled tightly together.

"Second Uncle..."

Da Jinwu timidly looked at Gu Yuan, his golden eyes full of fear and unease.

Although they were unruly, they also knew they seemed to have stirred up a heaven-great disaster.

Especially after personally witnessing a powerful Great Monster Sages being heavily injured by a single arrow, that fear belonging to children finally completely overwhelmed the excitement of play.

Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze, waved his hand at the Great Monster Sages outside the carriage, his voice still weak: "First take them back to the Heavenly Court; this place is not suitable to stay long."

"Yes, Prince."

Ji Meng responded, stepped forward, and prepared to cast a spell to imprison all ten Xiao Jin Wu and bring them back to the Heavenly Court.

However, Gu Yuan looked at those ten pairs of clear and innocent eyes, and the inexplicable unease in his heart grew even more intense.

Too simple.

Everything was too simple.

Di Jiang's chain of schemes, interlocking rings, employed Yang Scheme and conspiracy to the utmost.

First, ten suns hung in the sky, creating boundless killing karma, shaking the Monster Clan's Fortune foundation.

Then, Kuafu chased the sun, winning hearts, seizing the Human Dao's great righteousness.

Finally, the Di Fu erupted in turmoil, Gu Yu, luring the tiger away from the mountain, dragging Di Jun dead in Youming.

All of this was to create an absolute kill opportunity for Dayi.

But this opportunity, Dayi actually gave up so easily.

This does not match Di Jiang's character.

That fierce hero who would rather sever his own arm to throw the "Blood Sacrifice" black pot out, that schemer who could endure ten thousand humiliations lurking in Youming, would absolutely not do this kind of tiger-head-snake-tail thing.

Unless...

His true killing move was not Dayi.

Or rather, Dayi's arrow was fundamentally not for killing people.

【They are not Jin Wu! Host! Run!】

【They are the Wu Clan's Nine Great Ancestral Witches! Transformed by Di Jiang using the Dao of Transformation!】

The mechanical sound lasted only an instant before being replaced by a girl's scream, terrified to the point of changing pitch.

However, everything was too late.

Just as the system issued its warning.

Those ten little Golden Crows, who had still been trembling and playing the part of innocent children, all raised their heads in unison.

Their golden eyes, which should have been pure and innocent, were in this instant replaced by endless coldness, ferocity, and bone-chilling killing intent.

"Taiyi..."

"Finally lured out the venomous snake hiding behind Di Jun."

The leading "Great Golden Crow" curled the corners of his mouth into a hideous arc.

His voice was no longer a clear child's voice, but had turned into Zhu Rong's rough and violent tone!

Boom——!!!

The next instant, ten suns exploded simultaneously!

But that was not the destructive radiance of True Solar Fire, rather ten torrents of law, clearly distinct yet mutually interwoven, terrifying beyond measure!

Southern Ming Departure Fire! Nine Nether Weak Water! Geng Metal Death Qi! Yi Wood Withering! Thick Earth Sinking! Time Stagnation! Space Strangulation! Thunder Silent Extinction! Wind Roar! Poison Decay!

Zhu Rong! Gonggong! Blushou! Ju Mang! Tianwu! Xuanming! Qiangliang! Xi Zi! She Bi Shi! Zhu Jiuyin!

Apart from Di Jiang guarding the Netherworld Underworld and Hou Tu incarnating as Reincarnation, the remaining ten Ancestral Witches were actually all present here!

This power erupted too suddenly, too terrifyingly.

The Nine Great Monster Sages simply had no time to make any reaction before being completely swallowed by this destructive storm woven from ten types of Pangu Primordial Origin laws!

Pfft!

The nearest Monster Sage Fei Lian, before he could even let out a miserable scream, saw his flesh body instantly age and transform into dust filling the sky under the dual laws of time and space.

His Great Luo Dao Fruit shrieked once, wanting to escape, but was seized by Zhu Rong's Southern Ming Departure Fire and directly crushed!

A Monster Clan Monster Sage, fallen on the spot!

The remaining eight Monster Sages were also all severely injured.

Shangyang's Shangyang Divine Umbrella instantly shattered, half his body melted by Gonggong's Weak Water.

Ji Meng's dragon scales pierced by Geng Metal Death Qi, his whole body drenched in blood.

Ying Zhao's human-faced horse-body hacked into charcoal by thunder.

In just a single instant of eruption, the Monster Clan Heavenly Court's Ten Great Monster Sages, one dead, eight heavily wounded!

This is Di Jiang's true killing move!

What Kuafu Chasing the Sun, what Dayi Shooting the Sun, all were smoke screens!

His target, from beginning to end, was only one.

That is to use the true bodies of ten Ancestral Witches to set up this certain-death trap, to completely erase Di Jun's most trusted, and also the Monster Clan's true "brain" — Donghuang Taiyi!
