Chapter 1045 - 1045 23 Besieging the Blood Emperor 2-in-1_4

Chapter 1045: Chapter 23: Besieging the Blood Emperor [2-in-1]_4 Chapter 1045: Chapter 23: Besieging the Blood Emperor [2-in-1]_4 An arrow was released.

It almost disregarded spatial distance.

It even ignored time.

As soon as the arrow was released, it would appear wherever it was intended to hit!

Even now, on the eve of battle with everyone on full alert, it was of no use.

Blood flew into the air, a transparent hole formed, the arrow pierced through the chest and shot towards the distance.

Only then did it emit a screeching howl as it tore through space.

The person struck by the arrow let out a heart-wrenching scream, “Cloud Piercing Arrow!!”

Cloud Piercing Arrow said with an unfazed expression, “Our chances in this battle are slim, but before dying in battle, I must take care of you no matter what! Mo Linfeng, today is the day you die!”

As these words came out, suddenly, hundreds of people turned their heads.

They all looked at Master Mo Linfeng.

Because… he was long famous.

Truly a name that shook the world!

So this was the legendary… Fifth Peak Lord of Supreme Mountain… the castrated Master Mo Qingkong who took many wives and fathered many children, wasn’t it?

Indeed, a man of impressive appearance!

To the left side, farther away, was the old ancestor of Supreme Mountain, his eyes shooting flames as he yelled, “Why didn’t you block it?”

The one dressed in white, with an otherworldly grace, was none other than Green Shadow.

Standing to the left and right of Dong Pingjiang; and it was through the space between them that the arrow had gone, hitting Mo Linfeng.

Both remained unmoved.

Green Shadow said indifferently, “I didn’t see it.”

As a woman herself, Green Shadow held no good impressions of Mo Linfeng, who had been a notorious flirt and had caused the ruin of countless women.

Why would she block an arrow for him?

While they spoke, nineteen people on the opposite side had burst forth like blooming bombs.

Meanwhile, Qing Ming and others also let out a battle cry and charged forward.

Blood Emperor Lei Tu’s figure flickered uncertainly, suddenly splitting into countless afterimages as he burst forward.

Taking a hit from Qing Ming’s palm, Green Wolf’s claw, Lan Dan’s sword, and Dong Pingjiang’s kick head-on…

He appeared right beside Mo Linfeng, grabbing and crushing him with one palm.

The elder from Supreme Mountain’s brain burst instantly.

Lei Tu’s figure undulated, carrying Mo Linfeng’s corpse and dodging everyone’s attacks, while Mo Linfeng’s body, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, visibly shrivelled and turned into a mummified corpse.

In Blood Emperor Lei Tu’s hand, there was now a blood bead.

Blood spraying from his mouth, he laughed maniacally, “Cloud Piercing Arrow, I’ve taken care of this one for you! To spare you the regret of not seeing him dead in case you die in battle later!”

Cloud Piercing Arrow laughed loudly, appearing almost crazed, “Thanks a lot, boss! I have no more regrets in this life!”

Feng Yin couldn’t help but frown, “Does Cloud Piercing Arrow have a grudge with Mo Linfeng?”

“It’s a long story,” Dong Tiesong said, his eyes glued to the battlefield, “We’ll talk about it later. Sigh.”

He actually heaved a sigh.

In the field, upon seeing Mo Linfeng’s death, Cloud Piercing Arrow seemed truly satisfied with his life.

Suddenly, he let out a loud roar, and with a thunderous noise, a bright light erupted from his body.

At this moment, he chose to detonate his origin, consciousness, and soul.

He drew his bow and placed an arrow.

All his cultivation was transformed into the arrow in his hand.

“Boss, you took care of my affairs after my death, let me also lend you a hand!”

One arrow after another.

They shot out like a swift wind!

Qing Ming slapped his hands together, and one arrow, spinning wildly in his palm, drilled out a puff of white smoke, prompting him to acknowledge reluctantly, “What an arrow, Cloud Piercing Arrow!”

Lan Dan deflected an arrow with her sword, her figure swaying slightly as she couldn’t help but look over in surprise.

This arrow, fuelled by the burning of the soul’s essence, was so formidable.

Hidden Blade collided with an arrow with her sword, shattering it.

But the other seven arrows were aimed at seven other elders of Supreme Mountain.

The arrows shot by Cloud Piercing Arrow with his life were a total of ten!

Three arrows were aimed at the ultimate masters, knowing his arrows wouldn’t harm these individuals, but were merely there to distract them; the real effect lay in the other seven arrows!

All targeted Supreme Mountain.

He knew that, including Blood Emperor, the people they hated the most, besides Doctor Feng, were the individuals from Supreme Mountain.

—It was the people from Supreme Mountain playing an act outside.

At the very least, it felt like being made a fool by someone.

Seeking revenge on the godly doctor was clearly impossible now. Those peak masters would rather risk their lives than let the doctor come to harm.

So, the godly doctor’s side was a trap that wasn’t a trap—one could see that much.

Since that was the case, they might as well vent their frustrations on Supreme Mountain first.

But my arrows won’t do much harm to those old patriarchs of Supreme Mountain.

Given that… I can only target those whose realm is somewhat close to mine.

Therefore, these seven arrows were all aimed at those at the pinnacle of Cloud Top realm but who had not yet reached the Rainbow Transformation level, or were maybe one or two ranks away—pretty much like Dong Tiesong, yes, but a bit stronger than him.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft…

Seven people toppled from the sky.

Each had a transparent hole through their bodies.

Eyes wide with fury.

Cloud Piercing Arrow, bleeding from the seven orifices, had exhausted all his strength, even his life, with these seven arrows.

Usually, it took him a long time to prepare for an arrow that was sure to kill. Then, for a certain period, he couldn’t fire another arrow of the same quality.

But today’s arrows were several levels beyond his usual ones!

Seven arrows in a row.

Plus three more for cover.

After firing the last arrow, Cloud Piercing Arrow laughed out loud.

He had intended to leave this world with a bit of unrestrained mirth, but he had not expected that, as the laughter spilled from his lips, his body would fall apart into pieces.

“…Gone!”

Cloud Piercing Arrow was the first to fall.

Following that, three people died one after the other at the hands of Black Cloud, Green Shadow, and Dream Soul.

Of the eight leaders of the assassin organization, four had now died in battle.

Meanwhile, with the cooperation of Green Wolf, Lan Dan, Dong Pingjiang, and others, Qing Ming fought steadily, tightly entangling the Blood Emperor Lei Tu.

As for the others, they each engaged in paired battles.

The battle was unprecedentedly intense.

With a long howl, Dong Canglan, the lord of Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, released dazzling streaks of sword light that enveloped him, like a scorching sun descending, and directly reduced an opponent from the Ten Massacres to countless flying fragments.

At the same time, Hai Yunkong, the supreme elder of Absolute Sword Devil Palace, was shrouded in demonic mist, fighting alone against two members of the Thirteen Massacres.

Around the cloak of the demonic mist, a series of thuds echoed.

With a loud boom, three figures flew out in three directions.

Hai Yunkong spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his clothes fluttering and tearing to reveal palm-sized fragments.

Underneath, his golden shimmering mail was exposed.

The two opponents spit out blood furiously, tumbling away, one of them rolling on the ground and then remaining motionless; the other fell, teetering, their body flickering with silver light, also protected by internal mail, but already shattered by Hai Yunkong’s attacks. They were immediately surrounded by several from the Absolute Sword Devil Palace, and a rain of swords and knives fell upon them.

Screams mingled with flying flesh and blood.

The other assassins roared and tried to break through with all their might. But all around them, everyone stepped forward neatly to block any escape route.

They lunged left and right, the opponents’ casualties continuously mounted, but they could not break through.

The Blood Emperor Lei Tu lived up to his reputation as the foremost devil, raging and roaring in battle. Under the combined siege of Qing Ming and others, he did not fall behind.

His body even exploded with a bang, splitting into over a dozen shadows.

In one swift movement, he captured the seven Supreme Mountain experts who had been shot, and crazily refined blood beads with them.

Blood continued to seep out of his pores, a ghastly sight; yet his face was calm, his gaze deep.

One blood bead after another was tossed into his mouth.

Then, a blood-misty haze began to swirl around him.

He kept getting injured, enduring punches, kicks, sword thrusts, and even the ferocious bites of Green Wolf.

Yet his cultivation didn’t appear to decrease in the slightest!

On the contrary, his combat power grew stronger and stronger!

All present were confounded by this development, including several peak masters who had participated in the previous siege. What on earth was going on?

Last time, they hadn’t seen Lei Tu wield such techniques.

Feng Yin frowned deeply.

He now fully understood the concerns Dong Pingjiang had expressed that day: this old devil’s expertise was truly unparalleled and unmatched!

And, given the current situation, it seemed that if he wanted to break through and escape, it would not be an issue at all.

Watching Blood Emperor massacre the injured sect experts from various factions of Cloud Top one by one, he would rather endure a blow from the likes of Qing Ming just to kill those injured and refine blood beads.

Feng Yin watched with furrowed brows and suddenly shouted, “Senior Qing Ming, please order those with slightly weaker cultivation to quickly retreat!”
