Chapter 779: Chapter 560 Divine Bow

The storm swept across Baili.

The lake surged with towering waves, as if it were about to engulf half of the capital.

The Northern Guardian General, Wang Qijun, was indeed ruthless and invincible in action, aiming to kill with a single strike, wishing to end Li Yi’s life with a slash, slaying this so-called Immortal in the streets, letting all the people of the capital see that so-called Immortals are nothing but lost souls brought down by him.

Only by doing this could he reclaim the lost incense, for if Li Yi’s reputation spread, the people of the capital would all worship Taoyi, and who would still pay attention to him, the Northern Guardian General?

The struggle for incense concerns life and death; no God of Incense can tolerate such a thing happening under their watch.

However, amidst the torrential rain, in the place shrouded by the flash of the blade.

A mass of Red Cloud Light gathered and did not disperse, transforming into a Divine Bird spreading its wings and chirping, protecting Li Yi within it. Although the power of this strike was immense, it did not break through the defense of the Middle Grade Dao Artifact, the Red Feather Purple Gold Armor. No matter how fierce the blade light was, it could not advance an inch.

"This is impossible."

Upon witnessing this scene, Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun’s eyes widened, an expression of incredulity appearing on his face.

This strike, wielding the power of incense belief, could cleave a mountain, yet it couldn’t even damage the opponent’s armor. Such a thing was unheard of in ancient times and now.

"Nothing is impossible, you frog at the bottom of the well, relying solely on incense to become a god, without striving for progress. Even though you have accumulated countless years of incense belief power, you do not know how to use it. It’s a true waste of resources. If I had this level of incense belief power, I would have recreated heaven and earth and reopened the sun and moon long ago."

Li Yi’s expression was cold at this moment, wrapped in Dragon and Tiger Energy, tightly gripping a Divine Wood Great Bow in his hand, his entire body exuding murderous intent.

Although this Incense Fire God was powerful, he lacked cultivation knowledge. If he had mastered any Daoist Skill, or a cultivator’s spell, and used incense power to perform it, this capital within three hundred miles would have been destroyed in an instant.

Alas, a mortal becoming a god is still just a mortal.

Without comprehension of cultivation, without control over power, and no technique to unleash the power, if it weren’t for his hundreds of years of incense accumulation being truly formidable, he wouldn’t even have the qualification to make a move against me, much less the audacity to shout before me.

"Finish this quickly, this is the capital, filled with countless Incense Fire Gods. If I get caught in a protracted battle, it will surely be to my disadvantage." Li Yi sensed at this moment, that during this confrontation, many subtle glances from all directions were directed towards this place.

Though it is an important place of the capital, it’s also hidden with lurking dragons and crouching tigers; he couldn’t believe there were no other experts.

Immediately.

A golden arrow appeared in his hand.

He unleashed his Dragon Tiger Divine Power, drawing the bowstring, and the string of the Divine Wood Great Bow was slowly being pulled.

"What a heavy bow." It was Li Yi’s first time using this Divine Bow.

Truly worthy of being a weapon used by a Great Demon from the Demon God Realm, it was indeed extraordinary. Even unleashing all his strength, he couldn’t fully draw this bow, only a small portion was drawn.

Even so.

When the bow was drawn, the surrounding Spiritual Energy converged wildly, the golden arrow glowing more brilliantly, like a ray of sunlight piercing through the darkness. It merely appeared and illuminated Baili, visible to all the people of the capital and the God of Incense.

"That bow..." Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun’s heart trembled at this sight.

When that Divine Bow unfolded, it seemed as if the heavens and the earth were being torn apart.

If this arrow were shot, how could there be life afterward?

Wang Qijun smelled a fatal crisis. Despite being a god for a long time, he suddenly realized at this moment, it was not worth risking his life for a mere struggle for incense.

Escape!

Such a thought almost instinctively emerged in his mind.

Immediately, Wang Qijun could no longer hold back, grabbing his large blade, his body wrapped in Incense Fire Energy, and without a word, he turned and left.

"The Guardian General fled out of fright?"

This scene was witnessed by some competent individuals in the capital, leaving them somewhat dumbfounded.

Having been ferocious for hundreds of years, not knowing how many ghosts and spirit monsters attempting to enter the capital he had slain, the Guardian General was driven away by merely exchanging one move with Taoyi Taoist? Did Wang Qijun not fear a collapse of belief, a scattering of incense, and his strength falling drastically?

"Wanting to leave after losing, there’s no such easy thing in this world. Die for me." Li Yi shouted at this moment, and a Divine Thought had already locked onto the Guardian General, instantly shooting an arrow from the Divine Wood Great Bow in his hand.

This golden arrow was of a Magic Artifact Level, though it couldn’t compare to the Black Gold Divine Arrow, it was nonetheless extraordinary, having been personally refined by Tu Daoist.

Moreover, the golden arrow was refined with Five Element Gold Qi, with the sharpest edge.

The arrow flew out, the golden Divine Light pierced through the night, illuminating the sky, with unimaginable speed, in just a moment, it had caught up with Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun, instantly striking his head.

Wang Qijun, who was not originally of flesh and blood, lost his head in an instant, turning into sky-covering Incense Fire Energy, covering the sky, and the entire capital smelled a unique fragrance of sandalwood.

"Are you kidding me, Wang Qijun lost in one strike?" The Southern Guardian General Zhang Jiantong was incomparably shocked at this scene.

He previously thought that Taoyi Taoist had decent strength, but capturing him would not be difficult for himself, only refraining from action due to severe repercussions, thus allowing his entry into the capital. However, he never expected that with just one arrow from Taoyi Taoist’s Divine Bow, even the head of Northern Guardian General Wang Qijun was gone.

And being a Guardian General himself, his strength was comparable to Wang Qijun, meaning Taoyi Taoist could deal with him in one go as well.

Not only were they shocked.

The Jinyi Guard in the capital, the cultivators, and some spirit monsters in human form, as well as other Gods of Incense, were also greatly astonished.

The defeat of a Guardian General, how many years had it been since such an event?

Could it be that the court’s authority has weakened, and the world is about to fall into turmoil?

Yet, how could the people of this Incense Fire God World understand the might of a Divine Weapon? With even just a Dao Artifact, Li Yi can fight across levels, kill Nascent Souls, resist Divinity Transformation undefeated, let alone the Divine Bow in his hand. Paired with the Black Gold Divine Arrow, it can slay Tri-Floral Realm masters—what chance do these Incense Fire Gods have against it?

"What a divine bow, what marvelous arrows." Li Yi couldn’t help but secretly praise.

Originally, so many Dao Artifacts were lost just to kill that Great Demon and seize this Divine Bow. If it couldn’t serve its equal purpose, wouldn’t it be too much of a loss?

However, though an arrow had blasted open the head of the National Guardian General, his headless corpse still stood tall in mid-air.

Clearly, this National Guardian General had not died. The nearby incense fire energy started to converge toward his body, attempting to recover him.

Meanwhile.

The golden arrow shot off into the distance only to somehow curve back around in the sky, flying again towards Li Yi’s position. Though its power was spent and speed was slow, clearly the arrow refined by Tu Daoist had an automatic retrieval function, allowing it to return to the archer as long as the arrow was undamaged.

Of course, this requires a bit of time.

"Not dead, huh? Then let’s give you another arrow." Li Yi pulled out another arrow, this one entirely red, seeming as if it was aflame.

This arrow was refined using the fire element within the Five Elements.

He drew the bow once more.

His body erupted with the power of Dragon and Tiger, barely pulling the Divine Bow open once more.

Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Energy gathered, the air screamed, and this arrow aimed at the body of the headless corpse.

At this moment.

The National Guardian General’s head had already formed an illusory outline, and at this moment he looked back in alarm at Li Yi in the distance behind him and couldn’t help but shout: "Taoyi Taoist, I am a National Guardian General appointed by the court. Do you truly dare kill me? Are you not afraid of being blamed and having your nine generations executed?"

Li Yi’s expression remained indifferent, and he didn’t respond. The second arrow in his hand launched again.

In the next instant.

A red firelight instantly illuminated the sky, tracing out a fiery dragon.

And before Wang Qijun, the National Guardian General, could even react, his body abruptly exploded, and under the sweeping firelight, his broken incense fire body burned fiercely.

"Ah!"

He let out a painful wail, his soul suffering torments.

Yet, a vast amount of incense fire belief power maintained his soul, preventing him from dying but unable to recover, a particularly tragic fate.

"Not dead yet?" Li Yi was somewhat shocked at this moment.

His body exploded into incense fire, his soul reduced to fragments, yet still lively, and under the burning of the Five Elements fire energy, his soul didn’t obliterate but instead, because of the incense fire energy, the soul fragments were gathering and healing.

This guy’s incense fire belief was too intense, causing a certain transformation.

"Damn."

The National Guardian General, Wang Qijun, realizing he couldn’t stay longer after regaining some awareness, knew he couldn’t survive another few arrows.

He disregarded his body’s recovery and the loss of incense fire. Surviving today was paramount.

In the next moment.

Infinite incense fire enveloped strands of soul fragments and transformed into boundless light, scattering in all directions.

The sky over the Capital seemed to descend into a meteor shower, spectacularly splendid.

These soul fragments only need to enter a divine statue, and through the nourishment of incense, he could recover gradually.

"What a pity, facing others you might survive, but encountering me, that would be uncertain." Li Yi set aside the bow, twelve strands of Heart Fire Qi soared into the sky, illuminating the firmament. He absorbed Heaven and Earth Qi, mobilized the fire energy in his heart, and cast his Daoist Skill.

Call Wind!

This skill most effectively counters Incense Fire Gods because Call Wind transforms fire to specifically burn the Primordial Spirit.

Previously, the National Guardian General’s body was intact, Li Yi didn’t believe a single wind-summoning technique could kill him, but now with only soul fragments remaining, and the incense fire power dispersed, wasn’t this practically suicide?

In an instant, a heavenly fire emerged, engulfing the meteor shower at once.

Strands of soul fragments obliterated, dispersing amidst the fire’s radiance, leaving only unending incense fire energy filling the Capital.

After the Daoist Skill’s completion.

Li Yi looked skyward, seeing no trace of Soul Light.

Clearly, this National Guardian General ended up unable to escape alive, forcibly killed above the Capital.

"Didn’t even manage to escape?" Zhang Jiantong watched as the immense fire incinerated the Divine Thought, shivering involuntarily.

This Taoist person is simply the nemesis of Incense Fire Gods.

This person holding a divine bow, spewing heavenly fire, burning souls, who among the Incense Fire Gods could resist?
