Chapter 1047: Divine Arrow Shooter

Ye Liuyun's clone also felt that taking them down one by one wasn't realistic.

What's more, he could at most deal with the shadows of the Zao Hua Qi Chong; any higher realm, and he wouldn't be a match.

The shadows wouldn't give him a chance for one-on-one combat. So using a bow and arrow would be the quickest method.

After he and Xia Tianqiong worked out a strategy, he then activated the Shadow Concealment Secret Technique, hiding behind Xia Tianqiong.

The clone, using the Primordial Spirit Secret Technique from afar, would take down a shadow with a single arrow.

This left the shadow members unable to get close enough to attack.

After firing eight arrows in a row, Xia Tianqiong grew worried, after all, a Martial Cultivator of the Zao Hua Realm using Divine Rank arrows expends a tremendous amount; Ye Liuyun managing to fire eight consecutive arrows already exceeded her expectations.

So her steps also noticeably slowed.

"Keep going, don't stop!" the clone urged from behind.

If they stopped, it would give the shadows a chance to complete their encirclement; once they all rushed in, Huo Hu's rescue would also be quite difficult.

Xia Tianqiong's role was to use the Divine Rank longsword to block the weapons or attacks thrown by the shadows, while also serving as bait to lure the shadows into attacking her.

And the direction she followed was guided by the Black Python on her arm, to avoid entering the shadows' encirclement.

She gritted her teeth, decided to trust Ye Liuyun, and, wielding two Divine Rank longswords, continued to clear the way ahead.

Huo Hu watched from behind with great interest.

"This woman, she dares to entrust her life to him—looks like she'll become another wife in the future!"

Seeing Xia Tianqiong press forward without hesitation, she admired her greatly.

At this moment, her Silver Serpent Whip and longsword were in hand, ready for rescue.

However,

The clone, however, unexpectedly fired a ninth arrow, then a tenth……

Then he kept firing six more arrows.

He had used the Storage Yuan Stone to quickly replenish his Mysterious Origin.

Xia Tianqiong's steps this time came to a direct halt.

"Keep going!" the clone urged.

"How many more arrows can you fire?"

It's no wonder Xia Tianqiong worried; Ye Liuyun firing sixteen consecutive arrows had far exceeded her expectations.

Even Huo Hu was greatly surprised.

"How much True Essence does he have—is it endless?"

Only then did the clone realize that Xia Tianqiong was worried he had run out of True Essence.

"Trust me, I won't call a stop—just keep moving forward!"

Saying this, the clone raised his hand and fired three more arrows, one of which struck an Honoured Rank Martial Cultivator.

The Bloodthirsty Divine Bow's power was not as great as the Vajra Divine Bow's; it did not kill that Honoured Rank shadow with a single arrow, nor did it blast a large hole in his chest.

However, the Bloodthirsty Arrow has a trait: after hitting a person, if it doesn't kill outright, it immediately begins to absorb the victim's blood.

Thus that Honoured Rank Martial Cultivator was not shot dead, but died from having his blood drained dry.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun could still shoot arrows, Xia Tianqiong no longer hesitated, steeled her resolve, and continued swiftly forward in the direction indicated by the Black Python.

If Ye Liuyun truly lacked True Essence, then she would have only a dead end.

Never mind that her Shadow Concealment Secret Technique couldn't detect the shadows; even if she could, she alone couldn't handle simultaneous attacks from several of them.

Ye Liuyun's clone, meanwhile, followed behind her, steadily firing arrow after arrow.

In a short while, Ye Liuyun had already fired over thirty arrows, and not a single one missed.

Ye Liuyun's true self, at this moment, was inside the Xuan Kong Shi, using the time advantage to continually replenish the Storage Yuan Stone.

With his replenishment, the clone could probably fire another thirty-plus arrows before the Storage Yuan Stone was depleted to half its store.

"Charge up—he can't possibly consume an endless amount."

Cheng Yudu also followed Ye Liuyun's instructions, continuing to drive the shadows forward to their doom.

Ye Liuyun's clone then fired another thirty-plus arrows, each taking the life of a shadow member.

In the assassination battlefield, shadows had always been the hunters; unexpectedly, this time they became the hunted.

They couldn't even manage to attack before being felled by a single arrow from the opponent.

Thus these shadows, too, went berserk, continually converging.

They also wanted to see just how long Ye Liuyun could last.

When the Storage Yuan Stone was half-consumed, Ye Liuyun emerged from the Xuan Kong Shi and swapped back with his clone.

Xia Tianqiong was already unfamiliar with the Shadow Concealment Secret Technique, and besides, she was busy blocking attacks up front, so she didn't notice the switch behind her at all.

As soon as Ye Liuyun came out, he immediately began using the Vajra Divine Bow, shooting down a freshly arrived Honoured Rank powerhouse.

"Huh? Did you switch bows?"

Xia Tianqiong still thought Ye Liuyun had swapped bows.

Huo Hu, however, knew it was a change of person.

She also calculated that Ye Liuyun's Mysterious Origin could probably only sustain another sixty-plus arrows.

Inside the Xuan Kong Shi, the clone was continuously condensing Mysterious Origin, replenishing the Xuan Kong Shi.

He and Ye Liuyun were the same; even with the time advantage, they couldn't keep up with the consumption.

But at least it could allow Ye Liuyun to fire another thirty-plus arrows.

At this moment, Xia Tianqiong had gone numb.

"This guy is a monster—he's already fired over sixty arrows! How is he doing that?"

Xia Tianqiong had made up her mind; when she got back, she would definitely ask Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun exhausted all the Storage Yuan Stones, he let Xia Tianqiong stop.

"Stop, I've run out of energy!" Ye Liuyun also appeared then, standing beside Xia Tianqiong.

"What should we do next?" Xia Tianqiong asked anxiously.

At this moment, after practicing and with the Black Python's guidance, she began to faintly sense the presence of the shadows.

She discovered that as soon as she stopped, a large number of shadows came to surround them.

Ye Liuyun, however, let out a hehe laugh and directly released the more than forty Honor Rank ferocious beasts inside the Space World.

At the same time, he informed the ferocious beasts of the positions of those shadows.

The ferocious beasts immediately rushed toward the shadows' positions and began to counterattack.

And those shadows also discovered that no matter how they evaded, they could be detected by the ferocious beasts.

At this moment, they gathered to surround Ye Liuyun, but instead they ended up enabling those ferocious beasts to exterminate them.

Under the attack of these Honor Rank ferocious beasts, the Zao Hua Realm shadow members had no power to fight back.

Moreover, the Honor Rank shadow members were also the focus of Ye Liuyun's attention, each being attacked simultaneously by two Honor Rank ferocious beasts.

Even by this point, those shadows had not yet reacted, still asking Cheng Yudu for instructions on whether to retreat.

"Attack those ferocious beasts!"

Cheng Yudu, following Ye Liuyun's instructions, issued the final command to the shadows.

Those shadows were indeed fearless of death, actually intending to join forces to sneak attack the Honor Rank ferocious beasts.

However, their every move could not escape Ye Liuyun's Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, and he easily directed the ferocious beasts to slaughter them.
