Chapter 286: Chapter 283: One Bow, Four Arrows

However, this arrow only pierced through Zhuo Qian’s brow and nailed her firmly to the stone pillar. But killing her was still far from accomplished.

Yet, just as the first arrow was shot, Ye Xuan’s second arrow was already nocked and shot out swiftly, hitting Zhuo Qian’s heart area.

Zhuo Qian struggled desperately, and the golden arrow in her brow was shattered into pieces. Just as she seemed about to break free, Yu Wuxin intervened, casting an illusion technique to restrain Zhuo Qian once more. However, it did not look like the restraint would last long.

Attack after attack bombarded Zhuo Qian, yet all her injuries healed at an astonishing rate.

Such a joint effort by so many powerful individuals, and yet they were still unable to utterly destroy this evil demon.

"Good, it seems this blood-sucking monster is indeed no ordinary being. It would be best for a few more people to die, to make Xuanbing Mansion and Mist Sea suffer greater losses."

Hiding and watching the battle, Xue Wuheng said viciously. Having lost a Leaving Fire Spirit Pearl on Zhuo Qian, he wished for both Sects to suffer heavy losses, hoping it would give him some sense of equilibrium.

"Don’t worry, with just these people, they won’t be able to stop this monster."

Sikong Xin also smiled coldly. He had been bitten by Zhuo Qian earlier, substantially draining his Primordial Qi. He was now delighted at the thought of the members of Xuanbing Mansion and Mist Sea being heavily injured or bitten, reveling in an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

"Damn brat, how dare you steal this Saint Heir’s bow and arrows? Once we get out of here, I definitely won’t let you off!" Golden Arrow Saint Heir saw Ye Xuan drawing the bow and shooting with his cherished Golden Arrow and his face was filled with rage. If he didn’t believe himself to be no match for Ye Xuan, he would have rushed forward and torn him apart right then.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was fully concentrated, and then a flash of brilliance shot through his eyes. Amidst the shocked gaze of the onlookers, he drew three golden arrows from his quiver and nocked them simultaneously onto the bowstring.

Triple arrows on one bow, all aiming at the temporarily bound Zhuo Qian.

"What? This bastard actually wants to shoot three arrows at once? That’s just recklessly insane."

Golden Arrow Saint Heir was shaken by Ye Xuan’s action but soon sneered. Even she could only release two golden arrows at a time at most, and her soul power would be severely depleted afterwards, necessitating rest before she could continue to attack. As for shooting three arrows at once, that was something even she, with her archery skills, could not accomplish. She didn’t believe Ye Xuan could do it and was eager to see him make a fool of himself.

Although she was not as powerful as Ye Xuan, in terms of archery, she had absolute confidence.

Whoosh!

As Golden Arrow Saint Heir sneered, Ye Xuan’s three golden arrows had already broken through the air, tracing three precise trajectories and hitting the head, heart, and abdomen, pinning the about-to-break-free Zhuo Qian firmly in place.

"He actually did it?"

Golden Arrow Saint Heir’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; she had not expected Ye Xuan to actually succeed. This guy, he too was so skilled in archery?

But to completely suppress this blood-sucking monster, that surely wasn’t enough, was it? Three arrows from one bow, in Golden Arrow Saint Heir’s opinion, meant that Ye Xuan must be dizzy with exhaustion and expended soul power by now, just stubbornly keeping up appearances.

However, just as she confirmed her thoughts, Ye Xuan once again took out four more arrows from his quiver and nocked them onto the bowstring.

"Has this guy gone mad?"

Seeing Ye Xuan nock four arrows at once, Golden Arrow Saint Heir was somewhat dazed. Right after shooting three arrows at once, he actually wanted to shoot four arrows simultaneously; it was utterly crazy.

Whoosh whoosh!

Four golden arrows pierced through Zhuo Qian’s limbs, so precise and full of force that combined with the previous three arrows, Zhuo Qian was completely nailed to the stone pillar.

After firing this shot, Ye Xuan tossed the bow and arrows back to Golden Arrow Saint Heir and then gestured to the people from Xuanbing Mansion, "Now’s the time, quickly get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi and the others had a look of realization, and then they began to retreat. It was clear that fighting on would only lead to further casualties.

Crack crack!

The golden arrows pinning Zhuo Qian quickly cracked, and upon seeing this scene, Yu Wuxin and the other disciples of Mist Sea also began to withdraw.

They retreated in disarray from the suspended Ancient City, and a terrifying howl issued from the depths of the plaza...

...

Death Sea Domain, barren island.

The wasteland’s surface was crisscrossed with ravines, and black Qi continuously surged from the ground fissures, leaving the entire island barren, devoid of life.

In the airspace above the island, an astonishing crack still floated, spanning across the void, emitting waves of shimmering lights.

"They’re coming out."

Those observing the secret realm’s exit suddenly looked up. The Prohibition outside the crack trembled violently, tearing open a gap on its own.

Buzz!

The light above the crack flickered, and then the Prohibition opened up. Figures burst forth, all of them looking quite disheveled.

Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin, Yu Wuxin, Golden Arrow Saint Heir, and Silver Spear Saint Heir all rushed out one after another, like dogs that had lost their homes, followed by many others. Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao, along with the disciples of Xuanbing Mansion, also charged out of the rift.

Seeing Ye Xuan and others returning safely, Granny Ning and the two Elders also breathed a sigh of relief—at least those talents highly valued by the Sect were unharmed.

"What happened? Why are you all in such a sorry state?"

Granny Ning, seeing the disheveled crowd, couldn’t help but feel surprised, noting that they seemed to be fleeing from something.

"There’s something behind..."

Nangong Yao managed a bitter smile, then pointed at the crack in the void behind her.

Ah!

Suddenly, a scream echoed through the air, and from the exit of the Prohibition emerged a Blood Cloud that enveloped the figures who had just escaped, turning them into a pile of bones that fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the Blood Cloud pouring out from the secret realm, the elders from the various Sects were shocked. Within the cloud, the figure of a woman also emerged.

"Blood, so much blood!"

Zhuo Qian, her face twisted, let out a jarring laughter as she transformed into a streak of bloody light and shot out.

"Isn’t that Zhuo Qian?"

An elder from Xuanbing Mansion recognized Zhuo Qian and was similarly astonished.

"She’s not Zhuo Qian; she’s an Evil Demon that sucks human blood and has taken over Zhuo Qian’s body. Most of the disciples from the major Sects have died at her hands," Qin Qi warned from the side.

"Evil creature!"

Granny Ning pulled out the blue cane she had used earlier and began to cast Martial Arts, as cold, blue techniques enveloped Zhuo Qian. At the same time, the Elders from Mist Sea, Evil Wind Cave Heaven, and those from the Third Grade Sects also made their moves. A vast wave of attacks simultaneously bombarded the Blood Cloud where Zhuo Qian was.

Boom!

The collective onslaught of many Sect Elders was tremendously powerful. Even a Seventh Grade Martial Sect would be instantly killed, completely obliterated without leaving any bones or ashes behind.

Ye Xuan and others had already retreated far away, as not even the aftereffects of such attacks were something they could withstand.

After the shocking explosion, Zhuo Qian’s body completely vanished, turned into a mist of blood.

"This Evil Demon, no matter how strong, couldn’t withstand the attack of so many Sect Elders. We can finally rest easy," Nangong Yao sighed in relief after Zhuo Qian was reduced to ashes and then looked over at Ye Xuan.

"Mm."

Ye Xuan nodded. With so many Seventh Grade Martial Sect and Sixth Grade Martial Sect Master Realm Elders taking action, the demon should have been absolutely destroyed.

"Why are there only so few of you left? Where are Tuoba Ye and Lv Yuanzhi?"

A black-robed elder from Evil Wind Cave Heaven asked with a grim face, looking at Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin as he questioned harshly.

"That blood-drinking monster was too powerful; not just us, even the disciples from Xuanbing Mansion and Mist Sea were killed in large numbers. We were helpless. As for Tuoba Ye, he was killed by that boy Ye Xuan, and the disappearance of Lv Yuanzhi is probably also his doing."

Xue Wuheng and Sikong Xin kept their heads down, not daring to say much. Evil Wind Cave Heaven had suffered heavy losses, with almost two-thirds of the disciples killed. While they knew Tuoba Ye was killed by Ye Xuan, they had no idea who killed Lv Yuanzhi. Deciding to stick to their guns, they pushed all the blame onto Ye Xuan.

"Ye Xuan?"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the black-robed elder as he set his gaze on Ye Xuan not far away, "Is this the boy?"

"That’s right, him. No one knows where this kid sprung from, but with his extraordinary talent and strength, he’s been opposing our Evil Wind Cave Heaven at every turn. If this threat isn’t removed, not only will we not get over this humiliation, but he will inevitably become a major threat in the future," Sikong Xin took the opportunity to add in a sinister tone.

"Dares to kill my Evil Wind Cave Heaven’s disciples, truly tired of living. Don’t worry, has Evil Wind Cave Heaven ever suffered in silence? This threat is doomed not to grow, I’ll handle this and eliminate him as soon as possible."

A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the black-robed elder. A nobody who dared to kill one of Evil Wind Cave Heaven’s talented disciples clearly didn’t know the meaning of death.

"Ye Xuan, you need to be careful in the future. You killed Tuoba Ye and humiliated Sikong Xin; the people from Evil Wind Cave Heaven definitely won’t let you off easily," Qin Qi reminded with some concern.

"Meet force with force, meet trouble with wit. It won’t be so easy for Evil Wind Cave Heaven to deal with me," Ye Xuan replied with a smile as he brushed off the concern.

However, Granny Ning, upon overhearing this conversation, revealed a thoughtful expression, a glimmer of unknown meaning flashing in her eyes.

From the direction of Mist Sea, the Golden Arrow Saint Heir also witnessed what had just happened, "This foolish boy, making enemies everywhere. Now we don’t even need to take action; the people from Evil Wind Cave Heaven are enough to handle him."

"You have no right to say that. Without his intervention, could we have safely escaped?" Yu Wuxin looked at the Golden Arrow Saint Heir with a bit of coldness in her eyes; seeing this, he nodded and dared not speak further.

In the Mist Sea, Yu Wuxin’s position was like that of a princess, unchallenged by anyone. Even the other two Saint Heirs were merely minor characters in her presence.

However, she too was somewhat worried and eager to see how Ye Xuan would deal with the trouble from Evil Wind Cave Heaven.

The assembly from various factions only lingered for a moment before beginning to withdraw from the desolate island. In a short while, the island returned to silence.

However, at that moment, the blood mist that had been dispersing into the air began to coalesce again, transforming into a Blood Shadow, and then disappeared from this world.
