Chapter 854: Chapter 110: Fission!

Accompanied by a loud shout, Li Guanyi rode in on a warhorse. The deer, which had been driven into a dangerous situation by Chen Dingye and Jiang Wanxiang, was cornered against a cliff with armored soldiers pursuing from both flanks.

Both Chen Dingye and Jiang Wanxiang used mystical weaponry bows. Even without harnessing the power of Dharma Form, their arrows were fierce. Yet, a single arrow intercepted, snapping the three shots in mid-air.

Scarlet, ink, and green arrows landed simultaneously on the ground.

The tips of the arrows pierced the earth.

The deer was terrified, somehow mustered a burst of energy, and leapt high into the air. Its forelegs found purchase on the massive boulders, and it bounded over to a broader expanse.

The surrounding armored soldiers, all sons of noble families from various nations, understood the significance of this majestic and valiant Divine Deer. They only dared to block its path with restraint, fearful of injuring or killing it.

And somehow, the deer managed to escape.

Jiang Wanxiang was unfazed, merely laughing loudly, "Boys, don’t let that Divine Deer escape. Get ahead and encircle it. Consider this a battlefield drill, treat that deer as if it were an escaping General."

The hundred armored soldiers he brought with him all responded in agreement, then galloped ahead.

They were using this autumn hunt as an opportunity to train and conduct military exercises.

Chen Dingye waved lightly, and Colonels Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying, among others, headed towards the Divine Deer. These two saw the arrows fallen to the ground, then watched as Marquis Qin Wu approached, holding a Divine Weapon and clad in a crimson battle robe.

They were of similar age and also in the same grand scheme of the world.

Yet it felt completely different from the days they drank together.

It felt like a dream.

Zhou Liuying patted Ye Buyi on the shoulder.

The two found it inappropriate to greet Li Guanyi in such a situation, so they galloped away as well. Li Guanyi rode up, and Jiang Wanxiang looked at the war bow in Li Guanyi’s hand, saying, "Fine bow and archery."

"If I’m not mistaken, this bow is the Divine Weapon that the Xue Family’s Divine General used to traverse the world, the one which quelled the grassland scourge with three arrows: the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow, isn’t it?"

"May I take a look?"

Li Guanyi said, "You have some carefree interest."

He raised his hand and tossed the Divine Weapon towards Jiang Wanxiang. Jiang Wanxiang smiled, reaching out to catch it. The Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow emitted a faint golden glow, as if resisting, trembling incessantly.

Jiang Wanxiang said, "What a Divine Weapon!"

He tossed the Divine Weapon back to Li Guanyi.

Back then, Li Guanyi didn’t even have a Treasure Weapon in his hands.

At that time, this Divine Weapon was a harbinger of doom for Li Guanyi.

But now, holding this Divine Bow, it felt as natural as it should be, without a hint of impropriety. He was worthy of matching this bow. In this vast world, no one with greedy eyes would dare to reach for it.

The Heavenly Strategy General, Marquis Qin Wu wielding a Divine Weapon, was only natural.

Do you intend to take this Divine Weapon from the hands of a mere child of the fifth heaven?

That would be incredibly foolish.

Neither Jiang Wanxiang nor Li Guanyi paid attention to Chen Dingye. Chen Dingye’s gaze remained cold and calm as he watched Li Guanyi. He didn’t exchange any pleasantries, merely saying plainly, "If you two won’t chase the Divine Deer, then I’ll go first."

Jiang Wanxiang said, "In such a hurry? Hahaha, that deer won’t get away."

"Marquis Qin Wu, shall we go together?"

"Let’s compete once more today, and see who will ultimately capture the Divine Deer in this autumn hunt, how about it?"

Li Guanyi nodded, lacking any mind for small talk.

The warhorse broke into a gallop, heading forward with its battle robe’s hem fluttering. Jiang Wanxiang said leisurely, "Young people are indeed vigorous, but this deer won’t die by your hand."

"Let’s go!"

Jiang Wanxiang closely followed behind.

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of hooves echoed, and battle flags flew. Generals and Colonels clad in battle robes and hunting attire pursued the Divine Deer. The Divine Deer leaped between cliffs and streams, and Ji Zichang watched from afar, feeling as if witnessing tales from the annals of history.

Yet sadly, those are things buried in the past.

Li Guanyi’s gaze was calm. He had only twenty arrows in his quiver, and he saw the sons of noble families one after another, recalling his conversations with Ji Zichang from the other night. Among these people, many deserved death.

There were those who disrupted the court, others who exploited the people.

The bones of the people forced to hang themselves had yet to grow cold, and there were already those reigniting songs and dances. The gold and silver taken from the people’s coffers were swiftly melted down into gold thread, embroidered onto their lavish hunting attire.

Li Guanyi gripped the bow, drawing the bowstring. Normally, dry-firing a bow severely damages it.

Yet, the bowstring of the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow was an intensely condensed Inner Qi.

Li Guanyi drew the bow, the bowstring fully stretched, Inner Qi vibrating.

A sound, like the fierce whistling of a bowstring, exploded.

A buzzing sound rang out.

Even without releasing an arrow, more than a dozen people felt a chill down their spines, spurred their mounts, and in an instant had retreated several hundred meters. Turning back, they saw Marquis Qin Wu approaching, their faces grim.

Gao Yingju gritted her teeth, furiously saying, "Li Guanyi, a petty man intoxicated by success!"

"How arrogant?!"

Her friends around her quickly urged her, saying:

"Sanlang, don’t speak rashly. This Marquis Qin Wu is fierce-tempered, with overwhelming power, commanding over fifty thousand helmets. A few days ago, he drove Mr. Ji Daochun to his death; three days ago, he took the lives of Ji Yunqing and his grandson."
