Chapter 492: Chapter 486: The Impossibility of the Soul Chasing Arrow

"Bitch, die!"

Ling Baiyi struck out as if swatting a fly, aiming for Ye Zhen. Yet his fan produced a myriad of light and shadow, thrusting toward Luo Yingzi like a sword or spear, completely disregarding Ye Zhen as if he wasn’t worth the attention.

Luo Yingzi’s pretty eyes flickered as she glanced at Ye Zhen. To tell the truth, she didn’t know Ye Zhen’s full strength, except for the Heavenly Thunder of Fright, which she knew all too well. As long as Ye Zhen unleashed it, even Ling Baiyi would pose no real threat.

To Luo Yingzi’s surprise, Ye Zhen did not unleash the Heavenly Thunder of Fright but instead flicked out a finger lightly.

With the extension of his finger, an overwhelming aura burst forth suddenly, causing Lul Xiao’s expression to shift.

"Junior Brother Ling, be careful!"

Almost the instant Lul Xiao cried out his warning, Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger accelerated sharply. In no time, it extinguished the green flame in Ling Baiyi’s palm, and his jade-colored finger pierced through, drilling right through the center of Ling Baiyi’s hand.

Ling Baiyi shrieked in pain.

This scene ignited a gleam of admiration in Luo Yingzi’s beautiful eyes, Ye Zhen’s power was continually surpassing her expectations.

"Bastard, courting death!"

In his painful outcry, Ling Baiyi flew into a rage. His blood-stained palm closed, abandoning Luo Yingzi and, like a leopard, he dashed toward Ye Zhen with green flames blazing around him, meteor-like in his charge.

He was thoroughly enraged by Ye Zhen and resolved to take him down before dealing with Luo Yingzi.

Behind Ling Baiyi, the eyebrows of Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan of Soul Chasing Arrow Valley furrowed slightly. Truth be told, they both had an unsettling feeling about Ling Baiyi taking on Ye Zhen at that moment.

Especially the move just performed, that instant strike caught even them off guard.

However, unsettled as they were, nobody stopped Ling Baiyi.

First, there was a substantial gap in Cultivation. A Fifth Stage Spirit Realm Warrior and a Third Stage of the Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist were simply incomparable.

While there are many instances of warriors overcoming stronger adversaries and challenging higher stages, in most cases, they only triumph over an opponent one level higher. Success against someone two levels higher is exceedingly rare, and overcoming someone from another Grand Realm is almost unheard of.

In the entire True Spirit Domain, there are but a few who could do so.

This Ye Zhen did not appear to be one of that select few.

Second, they were Ling Baiyi’s fellow disciples, knowing well his penchant for pride. Intervening in this situation would be meaningless.

After all, even in Lul Xiao’s view, victory for Ling Baiyi seemed inevitable.

Confronting Ling Baiyi’s all-out assault, Ye Zhen shifted his stance slightly and stood in a nonchalant posture, once again flicking out a Floating Cloud Finger effortlessly.

The moment Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger was unleashed, Luo Yingzi, Lul Xiao, and Guz Bufan of Soul Chasing Arrow Valley all frowned in unison. The other three disciples of the Profound Moon Sect showed a hint of a sneer amidst their astonishment.

The reason was simple!

Because Ye Zhen’s finger seemed to casually point into empty space and not in the direction of the charging Ling Baiyi, it was a complete embarrassment.

As for Lul Xiao, though he personally thought Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger had some merit and should be cautiously handled even by a Soul Sea Realm expert, the technique itself was child’s play!

"Something’s not right..."

Lul Xiao’s brow was tightly furrowed. Such a skillful Finger Technique shouldn’t be used so carelessly. What caused even more unease was an odd aura emanating from Ye Zhen, giving Lul Xiao an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

Transparency!

Standing in front of Ye Zhen, Lul Xiao vaguely sensed a feeling of transparency, as if in front of Ye Zhen, no secrets could remain hidden.

To be honest, it was an impression he had only felt years ago when taught by a Vein Forging Realm expert. It was absolutely not something he should be experiencing in the presence of a Fifth Realm Martial Artist.

Hence, Lul Xiao was not fully sure, but his eyes were still closely fixed on the battle!

The very next moment, Lul Xiao’s eyes widened in utter shock.

For, in his view, Ling Baiyi was moving toward Ye Zhen as if drunkenly, slamming headfirst into Ye Zhen’s lingering finger.

By doing so, Ye Zhen’s previously unimpressive move suddenly became ingenious.

"Be careful!"

Lul Xiao exclaimed!

Almost simultaneously, Ling Baiyi too was taken aback, having not expected himself to foolishly crash into Ye Zhen’s anticipating finger.

Luo Yingzi, who had been frowning, suddenly opened her eyes wide, a spark of astonishment flashing within them!

Ling Baiyi’s figure twisted rapidly, attempting to escape Ye Zhen’s finger. He had already experienced the power of Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger, which could even penetrate his fully developed Acquired Spiritual Body.

Almost instantly as Ling Baiyi tried to evade, Ye Zhen’s lingering Floating Cloud Finger moved as well, tracking him like shadow, striking as fast as lightning!

The Floating Cloud Finger, like Ling Baiyi’s own shadow, was always three inches from his forehead regardless of how he dodged or weaved; it relentlessly pursued his every move.

"Stop!"

This scene shocked both Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan from Soul Chasing Arrow Valley to the core. Both acted almost at the same moment, the difference being that Lul Xiao dashed directly toward Ye Zhen.

Meanwhile, with a light flick of his fingers, Guz Bufan of Soul Chasing Arrow Valley released the bowstring, and three Soul Chasing Spirit Arrows targeting Ye Zhen’s vital points shot out explosively!

Whoosh!

The sound of the Spirit Arrow tearing through the air seemed to rip through the eardrums!

"Lul Xiao, let me, the Deviless Luo Yingzi, test your strength and see if you have grown stronger over the years!" With a coquettish shout, Luo Yingzi’s graceful figure suddenly floated out.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense sank slightly into his Sword Vein Divine Power and with a slight movement, the Floating Cloud Finger suddenly accelerated!

Ling Baiyi’s face was filled with terror. Being at the center of the fray, he was more aware than anyone of the horror of Ye Zhen’s finger. In just these few brief moments, he had already exhausted all his Body Skills and defensive techniques.

But no matter how he dodged or blocked, Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger was like a haunting shadow, always three inches in front of his forehead. Remembering the power that had pierced through his palm just moments ago, Ling Baiyi felt a chill running through his whole body!

"Senior Brother Lul, save me...."

"Who is the real ant now?"

In the midst of Ye Zhen’s cold snort, Ling Baiyi’s cry for help abruptly stopped. That segment of jade-colored finger suddenly accelerated, piercing straight through Ling Baiyi’s Protective Spirit Force, drilling into his forehead and flying out the back of his head, with a mass of red and white matter still attached to the jade finger....

All those watching were left dumbfounded at this moment, the other three disciples of the Profound Moon Sect even showing terror in their eyes....

Because, in terms of cultivation and combat power, the three of them were likely to be a cut below Ling Baiyi.

Bang!

Shoo!

As the sound of Ling Baiyi hitting the ground heavily echoed, three Spirit Arrows tore through the air and, like three small tornadoes, ripped towards Ye Zhen, leaving no time for any reaction.

In fact, it wasn’t almost, it was impossible.

The distance was too short. At just forty or fifty meters, there simply wasn’t room for Ye Zhen to react.

The situation was like when Ye Zhen, using his Green Wing Divine Bow, bombarded others from up close. Below the Soul Sea Realm, within a distance of a mile, there was simply no dodging it.

And the same was now true for Ye Zhen!

He could only face it head-on!

However, a Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm martial artist firing Spirit Arrows with a High Grade Precious Bow was not something that could be easily faced head-on. Even if Ye Zhen’s Red Jade Spirit Armor was strong, it was impossible to withstand it without any damage.

Just like the cold smirk hanging on the corner of Guz Bufan of the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley’s mouth right now, his arrows, within a hundred meters, were something even Lul Xiao would not dare to face head-on.

It was very clear to the brothers of Soul Chasing Arrow Valley that if they ever faced Guz Bufan in a sect sparring session, the first thing they would do was move quickly and continuously, either attacking first or pulling the distance as far as possible.

Otherwise, as long as the distance was within a mile, except for a being like Lul Xiao, they would be instantly killed the very moment the sparring began!

It was with this absolute confidence that, after firing those three arrows, Guz Bufan of the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley stood with his bow, not even planning on shooting a fourth arrow.

He was completely certain that Ye Zhen, a Spirit Transformation Realm Fifth Stage warrior, even with his heaven-defying cultivation, would be seriously injured if not dead after taking his three arrows.

There was no need for a fourth arrow.

Not only did Guz Bufan of the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley think so, the other three martial artists from the Profound Moon Sect who were about to pounce forward thought the same. They were very aware of the power of Guz Bufan’s Spirit Arrows, and in that awareness, they didn’t fall.

In an instant, Luo Yingzi became anxious.

With a rub and a knead of her hands, a mass of dark jade-colored Spiritual Power suddenly shot out, intending to rescue Ye Zhen.

Luo Yingzi’s Profound Yin Force Field was exceptionally mysterious, and she was well aware that in such a situation, perhaps only her Profound Yin Force Field could help Ye Zhen out of trouble.

Luo Yingzi making such an effort to save Ye Zhen was actually based on a single reason – when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Luo Yingzi herself was truly powerful in combat, but even for her, under normal circumstances, encountering martial artists from the Profound Moon Sect led by Lul Xiao and Guz Bufan, the best choice would be to flee a thousand miles away.

It was said that under the joint efforts of these two men, even a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse had once suffered a big loss.

Once Luo Yingzi got caught in a tough fight, she feared she would not be able to get away.

But with Ye Zhen there, things became much better, especially after witnessing Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright, she had many more options whether to advance or retreat. If she were to watch Ye Zhen be killed without doing anything, then Deviless Luo Yingzi would also be not far from death today.

But, Luo Yingzi’s opponent was Lul Xiao!

The opponent bearing the same surname as her, Lul Xiao!

"Moon Embrace Palm!"

With a light shout, Lul Xiao’s Palm Shadow reached out, with an outburst of immense Spiritual Power, a circle, a pull, and the mass of Profound Yin Spiritual Power Luo Yingzi had released to rescue Ye Zhen was reined back.

Suddenly, the recaptured Profound Yin Spiritual Power exploded, the Profound Yin Force Field forcefully expanded, shaking Lul Xiao back, stumbling several steps.

But Luo Yingzi had not an ounce of joy. Her heart sank continuously.

"It’s over...."

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

The three Spirit Arrows almost like venomous spikes were aiming at Ye Zhen, bombarding the Red Jade Spirit Armor he was wearing, bursting into blinding light that suddenly engulfed Ye Zhen.

At the same time, Guz Bufan of the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley, who stood with his bow, pursed his lips, a smug smile appearing, as he turned his gaze towards Luo Yingzi, ready for the moment to strike a fatal blow to the Deviless Luo Yingzi.

When the light dissipated, the figure of Ye Zhen was revealed.

To everyone’s amazement, after the light had vanished, Ye Zhen was still standing as before!

Not to say there were wounds, but even his clothing was not damaged in the slightest; he appeared completely unharmed!

"Impossible?!"

At first, Guz Bufan of the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley exclaimed in shock! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommended tickets, monthly tickets, and your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
