He looked at the pile of corpses, shook his head, and sighed: “This world is really crazy, why do you all like to be idiots?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just after this complaint was finished, suddenly a black shadow shot out from the darkness, stabbing towards Ximen Wudi’s heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a short arrow, carrying a sharp whistle, breaking through the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the close distance, Ximen Wudi could only barely dodge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure lowered, dodging the short arrow, then punched out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist edge hit the arrow shaft of the short arrow fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow of this short arrow was hit by Ximen Wudi and bent, then fell to the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My arrow…” a gloomy male voice rang out: “Apollo, this is my arrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man jumped down from a tree, holding a short bow in his hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Si also chased up, she said: “Atlantis has secret arrow arrows exclusive to the Golden Family. This kind of weapon is specially refined by Lemuria, which can penetrate the hardest steel, and is also attached with highly toxic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Si’s explanation, Ximen Wudi couldn’t help but think of the crossbow arrow that Kaishidilin had used on him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the tip of the arrow was flashing with blue-purple light. Although Ximen Wudi didn’t quite understand what that meant, his intuition told him that it was definitely not ordinary toxin. Otherwise, how could Kaishidilin have pierced the arrow through his chest, straight to his back heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ximen Wudi remembered the crossbow that had slipped from his arms into the grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember, Kaishidilin once mentioned this thing to me, saying that he once used this arrow to kill several high-level Atlantis officials, but those guys died too unjustly, all because they ambushed Kaishidilin…” Ximen Wudi shook his head: “It’s really a muddled account.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing, even if it is now, is not worth forgiving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are right.” Maerjiniousi said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He covered his right rib that had been shattered, blood flowing from between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy could be considered tough, taking two heavy hits from Ximen Wudi without hanging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in Ximen Wudi's view, this person should not only be skilled in blade techniques; the combat power he possessed was estimated to be no less than Zeus's, otherwise, how could he have injured Lopez?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who exactly are you? Why come here to ambush me?” Ximen Wudi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, my name is Raphael, I am a killer.” Maerjiniousi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered: “As for why I want to kill you, take a guess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you and that Lopez companions?” Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, in his view, this Maerjiniousi should be far from reaching the level of a Golden Guard member, at most an elite squad leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were a Golden Guard, Ximen Wudi might have run away long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Golden Guards are legendary existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Maerjiniousi was not a Golden Guard; he was just an outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Raphael is Lopez’s senior brother.” This Maerjiniousi said calmly: “Today, I must kill you to avenge the dead compatriots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t believe your ghost talk.” Ximen Wudi sneered: “This name, how have I never heard of it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Western dark world, famous super experts are all famous, for example, Gesilin’s second sister Gesilin is Gesilin, and Gesilin’s brother Gesilin is Gesilin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this Raphael is clearly not of the Gesilin or Lopez type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over the years, I have been hiding in the darkness.” This man said: “However, if I want to, many things in this world cannot escape my palm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think your ambition is not as small as you show on the surface.” Ximen Wudi sneered: “And, as far as I know, Golden Guards are very proud, and your strength is definitely not low, why live in this place and be a worker for Lopez?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ximen Wudi’s words, this man named Raphael seemed to be lost in memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long-lost silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I shouldn’t have lived in the world, I originally had plenty of opportunities to become a god, even to become the king of gods, but all this was destroyed, because of Lopez, I became this human-not-human ghost-not-ghost appearance…” Raphael said here, intense hatred surging in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know what you encountered, maybe, this matter has something to do with your Temple of Gods… no, it should be said that they have an unshirkable responsibility…” Ximen Wudi said: “I think you must have come to China to find the answer, but I’m sorry, there is no result you want here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raphael stared at Ximen Wudi and sneered: “I admit, what you said is indeed reasonable, but you are wrong. Since I dared to come here, it means I have prepared everything long ago. Even without Lopez, I can still turn this country upside down, and besides, you even came here, which saves me a lot of effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his arms suddenly raised!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another long bow appeared in his left and right hands!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This long bow was silver-white, the arc of the bow was beautiful, and on the string, there were two arrows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two swords, I took them from a certain ruin. Although the material is similar to your Radium Gold alloy, the power is even better than your Radium Gold dagger! Tonight, you are destined to drink hatred here!” Raphael sneered, his words making people feel a bone-chilling cold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he pulled a full moon suddenly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two arrows suddenly erupted with dazzling cold light, shooting violently towards Ximen Wudi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, because the speed was extremely fast, the wind pressure generated by the arrow even messed up Ximen Wudi’s black robe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi saw this, immediately raised his foot, and kicked the railing at the edge of the balcony! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Ximen Wudi kicked the railing open, three other arrows were also shot from three different directions, also whistling over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three sprays of blood splashed from three different positions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three arrows were all nailed into the railing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the kick Ximen Wudi had just delivered happened to hit the broken part of the railing, causing the railing to explode again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, his figure took advantage of the momentum to rise, and with several consecutive rolls, he leaped directly into the sea waves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seawater was cold, and Ximen Wudi's heart was also very cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know where this man named Raphael had popped out from, but he could clearly feel the danger level of this man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of the Sun God Apollo, your movements are indeed agile, but can you escape?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Raphael said, and also jumped into the sea waves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ximen Wudi entered the sea, he dived quickly and swam forward along the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, that Raphael suddenly caught up, and then, several black shadows exploded from his longbow!\u003C\u002Fp>",1480,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z","2026-06-18T03:52:24.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","695f8c3e5a4aeb94863399d544331c703b5f98fbe609dde314b6c0bfd9d94be4","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1360","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1358",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
