Chapter 423: Zhuque Takes Action

Together!

At this moment, one of the archers in front of the Taiping Sect let out a low shout, the bowstring loosened, and an arrow wrapped in crimson vigorous energy shot out like a meteor, directly targeting one of the Armor Squad Two.

Immediately afterward, the remaining martial officers also loosened their grips one after another, and the arrows flew toward Armor Squad Two like dense rain.

The vigorous energy of these arrows became increasingly brilliant and dazzling in flight, as if rainbow after rainbow were tearing across the sky.

Seeing this, the five members of Armor Squad Two had no choice but to temporarily cease their encirclement of Yun Huai-zhi and instead deal with these incoming arrows.

Each wielded their weapons and shields, either blocking or striking, resolving each arrow one by one.

However, the force and vigorous energy of these arrows were not trivial; even if they could block them, it still left them feeling strained.

"Which rat dares to wound someone with a hidden arrow!"

Armor Squad Two Thus each line: English Dong roared angrily, his voice revealing anger and contempt.

"Haha, you five shameless lot, you too have your day!"

A martial officer at the rear sneered, "What kind of hero is it to bully the few with the many? Today I'll let you taste what it's like to be surrounded!"

Saying that, he shot another arrow, this time targeting another member of Armor Squad Two.

The arrow tore through the air, carrying a fierce killing intent.

Obviously, Armor Squad Two has repeatedly engaged in dishonorable ganging up lately, which has also annoyed many people.

For example, these people of the Taiping Sect opposite them.

Although the five members of Armor Squad Two are brave and skilled in battle, they now also feel a hint of pressure.

These arrows are not only heavy in force, but their vigorous energy attributes vary, making them extremely hard to defend against.

This forced them to divert attention to deal with these sudden attacks, while Yun Huai-zhi seized the opportunity to adjust his breath and prepare to rejoin the fight.

The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant; the fierce battle between Yun Huai-zhi and Armor Squad Two became more complex and intense with the addition of these martial officers.

Various vigorous energies intertwined and collided, producing a deafening roar, as if they wanted to tear the entire sky apart.

However, amidst this melee, Yun Huai-zhi gradually found his own rhythm.

His twin spears in hand danced like two silver dragons without cease, each strike precise and fierce.

Under the blessing of the Moon God Dharma Aspect, his figure moved like a ghost across the battlefield, leaving the five members of Armor Squad Two struggling to keep up.

As time passed, the situation gradually became clear.

With the help of reinforcements, Yun Huai-zhi gradually gained the upper hand, while the five members of Armor Squad Two fell into a bitter struggle.

The formation of the five working together was about to be disrupted, and their offense and defense appeared somewhat chaotic.

"Careful!"

Bei Kai shouted loudly, waving his meteor spear in hand, and shot down a deep-blue arrow.

However, another golden-yellow arrow seized the opportunity to strike Fang Zhong, causing him to grunt and retreat a few steps.

"Courting death!"

Dian Nan, seeing this, flew into a rage, flashed his figure, and withdrew from the battle circle.

At the same time, he pulled out the Blazing Sun bow he had always hung at his horse's side, quickly nocked and drew, and the arrow in his hand turned into a red light charging toward those archers.

The other four, seeing this, could only rush forward to jointly restrain Yun Huai-zhi, and the Five Elements formation instantly collapsed.

Ding! Zhuque skills Flame God, Southern Brightness Five Phoenix, Mausoleum Light activated!

Zhuque's current base martial power is 109, weapon Zhuque Heaven-Burning Bow martial power +1, warhorse Sacred Flame Steed martial power +1;

When the Mausoleum Light skill takes effect, martial power +4; when the fifth effect, Four Spirits of Heaven, activates, being present together with the sacred beast Xuanwu, martial power +2.

Zhuque's current martial power is 109+2+6+1+5+2+4+2, Zhuque's current martial power has risen to 133!

At that moment, from behind the five, a scarlet arrow silhouette tore through the sky from behind the Five Elements Armor Squad Five, its speed astonishing, like a meteor streaking across the heavens, straight for those archers before the Taiping Sect formation.

It turned out to be the strongest archer on the field at this moment—Zhuque has made a move!

The archers before the Taiping Sect formation narrowed their eyes, naturally recognizing the origin of this arrow.

Although Zhuque's previous arrows were not exerted with full strength, and they had deflected them one by one, this nonetheless made them feel an unprecedented crisis.

"Huu, Zhuque of the Blazing World Radiance, seventh on the All-Under-Heaven Wind and Cloud Rankings, has finally made a move?"

One of the Taiping Sect archers slowly exhaled, his expression solemn, loosened his longbow, and an arrow wrapped in deep-blue vigorous energy flew toward that scarlet arrow silhouette.

However, at the instant the two arrows were about to collide, the scarlet arrow suddenly split into several small arrows, each wrapped in powerful scarlet vigorous energy, bending at an inconceivable angle to bypass the deep-blue arrow and continue forward.

"What!?"

That Taiping Sect archer was shocked and frightened, wanting to shoot again but it was already too late.

Seeing this, the other archers also sprang into action, weaving various-colored vigorous-energy arrows into a net, attempting to intercept these scarlet arrows.

However, Zhuque's archery is exquisitely superb; her arrows seemed to possess spirit, weaving freely through the dense arrow net, and ultimately each one broke through the Taiping Sect archers' defenses.

"Ah!"

A miserable cry rang out as one of the Taiping Sect archers was directly pierced through an arm by one of those scarlet arrows.

Beside him, the other archers, though fortunate to have escaped disaster, were still shaken, their faces showing terror.

Zhuque's figure slowly stepped out from behind the five of the Five Elements Armor Squad, her visage cold and beautiful, noble, as if a true phoenix had descended to the mortal realm.

The longbow in her hand emitted a faint red light, complementing the scarlet vigorous energy on her arrows, highlighting her formidable strength and dignity.

"People of the Taiping Sect, you also dare to act wantonly here?"

Zhuque's tone was icy and imposing, as if she were judging a swarm of ants.

The Taiping Sect archers at this moment have lost their former arrogance; looking at Zhuque, their eyes are filled with fear and awe.

They know that today's battle is no longer a simple contest, but a life-and-death slaughter.

"Zhuque, don't go too far!"

"We Taiping Sect aren't easy to provoke!"

A Taiping Sect general roared at the red-clad figure before the formation.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Zhu Que chuckled lightly, "Then let me see just how much you Taiping Sect are worth!"

As she spoke, she nocked another arrow; scarlet arrows coalesced in her hand, emanating a powerful aura.

Seeing this, the Taiping Sect's archers all stepped back one pace, their faces wary, knowing this battle had already surpassed their control.

As archers, they understood all too well how great a threat a senior War God–level archer could pose.

This is definitely not an opponent that their few divine generals, who haven't even reached War God level, can face.
