Chapter 369: One Arrow Decides the Song Tower

The entire venue fell deathly silent!

All eyes fell on Heng Xian and the "Tremor-Slaying Divine Bow"!

Even the beasts charging ever closer from across were ignored by the crowd!

Could this suddenly appearing guy, whose strength is terrifyingly fearsome, actually draw the "Tremor-Slaying Divine Bow"??

The "Tremor-Slaying Divine Bow" not only represents the Song family's face and heritage; whoever can draw it will surely be honored as an esteemed guest by the Song family!

Moreover, when Song Dou'er was still young, Song Nantian had once said that anyone under forty who could draw the divine bow could take Song Dou'er as his bride!

In other words, drawing this bow would make one an honored guest of the Song family and allow marriage to Song Dou'er!

At this moment, not only did Song Nantian and his wife break out in sweat on their foreheads.

From all directions, everyone held their breath.

Song Dou'er herself was also in a daze!

However, no exception occurred!

Heng Xian, at the Qi Hai Realm, when his Qi Sea had been refined nine times, possessed five to six hundred thousand catties of strength; after breaking through to the Primordial Dan Realm, he already had a million-catty mighty force, more than double that of an ordinary Yuan Dan Initial Realm expert with three to four hundred thousand catties of strength!

Therefore, a mere 850,000-catty draw weight is nothing to him.

Casually picking up the "Tremor-Slaying Divine Bow," he gave it a hard pull, achieving a full moon draw!

Then, with a gentle release, the bowstring hummed with a pleasant vibration.

"This..."

"He really drew it!!"

"This... where did this monster come from!"

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Song Nantian seemed to have lost all his strength, staggering backward.

"Master!" Song's lady hurriedly supported him.

And Song Dou'er was completely dazed!

From afar, Mu Lanqing ran over: "Dou'er! Dou'er! What should we do? This person is terrifying!"

The previous boredom and arrogance vanished completely, leaving only panic.

The crowd's reaction had no effect on Heng Xian; he took up the "Tremor-Slaying Divine Bow," loaded nine arrows, then made several strange gestures from the "Yu Ling Wonderful Dao" toward the spirit beast "Golden Howl Heavenly Hound" beside Song Nantian.

Originally Song Nantian's mount, a fierce, terrifying, and proud spirit beast, suddenly its eyes lit up, it perked its ears like a Pekingese, and bounced over to Heng Xian.

Song Nantian wore a bewildered expression and shouted angrily: "Ah Hound, come back!"

The Howl Heavenly Hound completely ignored him, romping over to Heng Xian like a puppy finding its father, playing around.

Heng Xian leapt onto the beast's back, gave its rump a pat, and man and beast charged forward together.

After charging more than ten steps, the Howl Heavenly Hound raised both hooves and let out a skyward howl.

Seizing the opportunity, Heng Xian nocked an arrow, his heroic spirit soaring, and loosed eight arrows in succession!

The arrows shot forth swiftly and violently, wrapped in golden light, no longer resembling arrows but like eight flying swords, twisting the very air in their wake!

The momentum was immensely grand!

The killing intent was overwhelmingly massive!

Even the people of the twenty-one cities' great clans far behind could clearly feel it.

If the arrows of Xiao Yu Jian before were merely fierce, then this person's arrows are upright and proper, capable of tearing apart rotten wood, unparalleled in terror!

Moreover, anyone with a bit of common sense can see that this person is also a... Primordial Dan Realm expert!!!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The eight arrows flew toward the beast herd, soaring forward in a fan shape.

The first arrow struck,

"Pfft!"

The tremendous force and domineering destructive power pierced straight through the first sixth-grade demon beast, yet did not stop, carrying it on to pierce through two more sixth-grade demon beasts consecutively, and smashing a swath of fifth-grade demon beasts, leaving a deep, scorched-black trench along a straight line on the ground.

However, before the observers from the twenty-one cities' great clans behind could react,

the second arrow arrived, again piercing through two sixth-grade demon beasts and a group of fifth-grade demon beasts; the arrow struck the ground, scraping out a scorched-black gully.

Then came the third arrow, the fourth arrow...

When all eight arrows had been fired, only beast corpses littered the ground ahead and eight conspicuous gullies remained.

Not a single living demon beast remained!

The terrifying fifth- and sixth-grade demon beast herd, in this person's hands, seemed to become a flock of lambs awaiting slaughter.

The key is his achievement: eight arrows, one hundred thirty hits!

Is this still hunting?

This is outright slaughter!

Everyone present was immersed in the scene of Heng Xian slaying all the beasts with eight arrows!

The recent image of a single person and beast, peerless in heroic bearing, spirit soaring to fight oxen, loosing eight arrows in succession, was also etched into many people's minds!

There was utterly no comparison; before this person, all the young masters and misses of the preceding families were as tender as a bunch of children!

It really is... too violent!

Until Heng Xian, controlling the Howl Heavenly Hound, turned back with a calm expression,

Heng Yue Ruo was the first to stand, turning to look at the group of Lady Song, Lady Bai, and Lady Mu, and smiled faintly: "Earlier you asked me where my iron-willed mother's nephew is; well, this is my inept maternal nephew Heng Xian—does he meet your standards?"

"Oh..."

"Hehe..."

The group of ladies who had just been lofty immediately put on restrained and humble smiles.

The nephew of Tie Niangzi is a…… Yuan Dan expert, and still so terrifying and despair-inducing????

How satisfying! Looking at the expressions of a crowd, Heng Yue Ruo was in a great mood, almost laughing out loud, while on the surface she remained calm, picking at her nails: "I'm a low-key person; I won't say anything, unlike you all showing off whatever nephews or nieces you have—do you have anything to show? Are you anxious or not?"

"Hehe……" A group of ladies still awkwardly accompanied with laughter, their gazes wandering over Heng Xian's distant figure, their expressions uncertain and suspicious.

At this moment, Song Nantian could no longer wait for news from the clan elders; he immediately put on an extremely humble smile, clasped his fists in salute: "Senior, your esteemed presence honors us; I failed to welcome you properly from afar."

Okay, "junior" has already been changed to "senior".

After saying that, he looked toward Xiao Yu Jian; only a Yuan Dan expert can deal with a Yuan Dan expert.

However, it disappointed him!

Only saw Xiao Yu Jian with a stern face, followed by Wang Ling; the two stepped forward more than ten steps and bowed to Heng Xian: "Junior Brother Heng Xian, how have you been?"

They still know each other.

Junior Brother?

Also a disciple of the great sect?

Not only Song Nantian, everyone was secretly guessing in their hearts.

And Song Dou'er, who had been in a dazed state, suddenly stood up: "Heng, Heng Xian??"

Beside, Mi Lanqing had a clueless expression: "Who is it?"

Song Dou'er's face was very strange: "That person I've mentioned to you several times over the past few months!"

"The youngest sword venerable of the Dongyu cultivation world? Known as the top warrior under fifty among the fourteen major sects of Dongyu, Heng Xian??" Mu Lanqing looked astonished.

"It's him! At such a young age, only he could produce such a terrifying aura!" Song Dou'er's expression was a mix of surprise and distress.

"How could someone like this…… end up here?" Mu Lanqing was bewildered.

At this moment, Heng Xian glanced at Xiao Yu Jian and the two, gave a slight nod, then unexpectedly pulled the "Thunder-Slaying Divine Bow" to full moon, releasing the full aura of the Yuan Dan Initial Realm, exerting nine-tenths of his strength, and shot the ninth arrow!

The arrow "whoosh" left the string!

This time it wasn't aimed at a demonic beast, nor at any person, but with a clear target headed straight for the Song family's "Lou" in the city!

That "Lou", one of the Song family's three treasures!

The arrow shot with nine-tenths strength was like a blazing flame serpent, its howling sound spreading throughout the city; wherever it passed, the air twisted and spiritual qi trembled.

Immediately, in everyone's sight, the arrow struck the "waist" of the "Lou".

The protective formation for the Lou had just appeared, then instantly shattered.

"Boom……"

The entire Lou collapsed amidst the rumbling!

The "Lou", with thousands of years of history and representing the Song clan's foundation, was toppled by a single arrow!

The hearts of the Song family seemed to collapse as well.

The entire hunting ground fell deathly silent.

Song Nantian's expression shifted from shock to grief, then to anger; looking at Heng Xian, he no longer held back and roared: "You scoundrel, why such?"
