Chapter 366: The Flair of That Arrow

A massive surge of energy poured into Li Luo's body like a tidal wave in that instant, and at the same time, bloodshot veins rapidly crawled across his eyes. His face twitched uncontrollably, his expression revealing a ferocity and cruelty never seen before.

Li Luo at this moment was clearly a far cry from his usual self.

A feeling of slaughter and destruction roared in his heart like a vicious wolf, attempting to shatter all reason and turn him into a puppet that would kill everything in sight.

The world before his eyes seemed to be covered in a faint, crimson hue.

It was as if an inexplicable whisper was echoing in his heart and ears, goading him to kill wantonly.

But in the end, Li Luo maintained a final shred of clarity with the help of the "Holy Light Meditation Bead" and the "Ice Heart Profound Qi." He suppressed the negative emotions in his heart with all his might, then drew the Light Falcon Bow without hesitation.

This power had to be released as soon as possible, otherwise it would cause him even greater damage.

Hum!

As Li Luo pulled the bowstring, a surge of vigorous energy rapidly condensed, transforming directly on the string into a flapping Light Falcon arrow. This time, the Light Falcon was lifelike, and even its feathers were clearly visible.

Moreover, the Light Falcon was a dark crimson color, and an irrepressible aura of violence radiated from it.

The arrowhead trembled slightly; because the energy was too intense, it caused rings of light to appear around the tip.

The power of this arrow was truly astonishing.

Before the arrow was even fired, the fingers Li Luo used to pull the string had already been torn by the leaking energy, leaving deep, bone-visible lacerations. Fresh blood dripped continuously from his palm, and his arm trembled slightly, as if he were struggling with all his might to restrain an extremely irritable beast.

The energy he was channeling was so violent that at this moment, Qin Zhulu, Lu Qinger, and Lin Suo, who were in the midst of battle, all sensed it and cast shocked gazes toward him.

"Such powerful energy!" Qin Zhulu, covered in blood, widened his eyes, staring at Li Luo in disbelief.

Although he knew Li Luo had some trump cards, he never expected Li Luo to be able to unleash such an astonishing attack.

This power definitely exceeded the Third Transformation of the Phase Transformation Stage!

Lu Qinger's beautiful eyes were also filled with surprise and some worry, because she saw Li Luo's somewhat crimson eyes. Clearly, this power was also placing a huge burden on him; one slip-up and he would suffer a backlash.

"Run!"

Lu Qinger was the calmest; she grabbed Qin Zhulu's arm and retreated in a hurry. At her touch, his body trembled reflexively as if to struggle and resist, but having borne the greatest pressure in the previous fight against Lin Suo, he was already exhausted and could not break free, so he could only be dragged away by Lu Qinger in a sorry state.

Lin Suo, meanwhile, ignored Qin Zhulu and Lu Qinger, for he was staring at the bow-wielding Li Luo with an extremely ugly expression.

That blood-red Light Falcon arrow had him firmly locked on.

"Damn it! Are you fucking cheating?!"

Lin Suo's face turned livid, and he cursed out loud. He never imagined Li Luo could be so monstrous as to condense energy that even made him feel palpitations; this completely defied common sense!

What kind of secret technique could be this terrifying?

At this moment, Lin Suo felt endless regret in his heart. He regretted not finishing Li Luo off sooner; this brat was simply a monster!

Amidst those complex emotions, Lin Suo did not stand still. Instead, he pushed his speed to the limit and began to retreat rapidly. He was clever enough to retreat into the dense forest, hoping to use the terrain to neutralize Li Luo's terrifying arrow.

Li Luo's slightly crimson pupils stared at the frantically fleeing Lin Suo. Deep within those eyes filled with slaughter, a sliver of clarity struggled to remain, and then his fingers, already eroded to the bone by the violent energy, suddenly released.

"Chirp!"

A sharp falcon cry suddenly rang out. The air in front of Li Luo exploded instantly, as if forming rings of sonic boom clouds. A streak of red light tore through the air at an unimaginable speed, chasing after Lin Suo.

Boom! Boom!

Wherever the red light arrow passed, falcon sonic waves erupted. This time, the sonic waves were far beyond what Li Luo had previously unleashed. As the waves spread, the large trees in that patch of forest were reduced to powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although Lu Qinger and Qin Zhulu were further away, they also wore expressions of pain.

Lin Suo, who was locked on, suffered even more; blood flowed from both his ears as his eardrums were shattered by the sonic waves. Waves of dizziness flooded his mind, and his vision went black.

His retreating figure came to a sudden halt. He gave up on dodging because the speed of the Red Falcon arrow was too fast—too fast for him to evade.

At this life-or-death moment, Lin Suo could only roar, unleashing his Phase Power without reservation and pouring it all into his Octagonal Golden Shield. This was his strongest defense.

Hum!

The Octagonal Golden Shield bloomed with a golden halo, hovering before him.

Whoosh!

The next instant, the crimson light arrow arrived with a violent burst of energy. The Octagonal Golden Shield trembled violently, and the rings of golden light upon it were continuously dissolved by the violent crimson energy.

A mere few seconds felt so slow and agonizing in Lin Suo's eyes.

And the golden halo released by the Octagonal Golden Shield only lasted for those few seconds.

As the last layer of the golden halo dissolved, despair rose in Lin Suo's eyes. Before he could react, cracks suddenly appeared on the Octagonal Golden Shield right where Li Luo had previously shot a deep mark.

Bang!

A blood-red light pierced through, and the final arrow struck Lin Suo in the chest.

The red light punched straight through his chest, carrying his entire body backward. With a series of bangs, he snapped tree after tree before finally being pinned firmly against a massive boulder with a hum.

The boulder cracked with fissures.

One arrow, and the outcome was decided.

Qin Zhulu and Lu Qinger stared blankly at the trail left in the forest and at Lin Suo, who was pinned to the giant rock, unable to move. Both of their eyes were filled with shock.

Li Luo's arrow was truly astonishing.

With the strength of the Third Pattern of the Life Pattern Stage, to unleash such a terrifying arrow... was this something a human could do?

As the two were stunned, Li Luo's figure leaped down from the treetops. Just as Lu Qinger was about to go up to him, Qin Zhulu suddenly reached out to stop her, saying with a grave expression, "Li Luo seems a bit off."

Lu Qinger looked over and indeed saw Li Luo's face twisted and ferocious, his eyes crimson. That terrifying appearance was something she had never seen on Li Luo before.

Moreover, the way Li Luo looked at them now was unusually fierce.

"Has he suffered a backlash?" Qin Zhulu said in a heavy voice.

Lu Qinger's pretty face shifted. She then brushed aside Qin Zhulu's arm and, ignoring his obstruction, walked toward Li Luo with firm steps.

Li Luo's crimson gaze fixed on her, his face seeming to grow even more ferocious.

Yet, Lu Qinger did not mind his terrifying expression. She stood before Li Luo, reached out her small hand to gently grasp his palm, and once again channeled the "Ice Heart Profound Qi."

"Li Luo, it's over." She gazed into Li Luo's eyes with her clear pupils and said in a gentle voice.

Red light flickered on Li Luo's face, and some struggle appeared in his somewhat crimson eyes. He then closed his eyes and took two deep breaths.

The ferocity on his face finally began to fade.

When he opened his eyes again, his complexion had begun to return to normal. He rubbed his hair, looked at Lu Qinger before him, and revealed his familiar, brilliant smile: "Tell me, was that arrow just now cool or what?"

Lu Qinger chuckled, though there were traces of moisture in her eyes. She then couldn't help but reach out and hug Li Luo.

Li Luo was startled by her sudden embrace and quickly spread his hands, saying, "You're being a bit too emotional... be careful, it'll be trouble if Jiang Qing'e sees this."

Lu Qinger punched Li Luo, gritting her teeth as she said the toughest words.

"I'm not afraid of her!"

Hearing this, Li Luo was practically moved to tears; of course you aren't afraid, because you won't be the one getting beaten up when the time comes.
