The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 696: The Invincible Arrow

Chapter 696: Chapter 696: The Invincible Arrow

"Indeed, what you fear comes upon you."

Qin Jun sighed in his heart, not expecting that his group would attract the attention of the Nether King Palace as soon as they entered the city.

It seemed he was destined to not keep a low profile.

What Qin Jun didn’t know was that Wang Ci had made such a major move due to him acquiring the Night Vision Tuberose; otherwise, Wang Ci would have at most just kept an eye on and guarded against him.

On the other side, Nether Dream Demon Venerable led five Taiyi Mysterious Immortals towards the small hill. The rolling demonic qi coiled around their bodies like a tornado, making them look like demon gods, and the pressure they emitted caused the entire city to be incredibly oppressive.

"That’s the Nether Dream Demon Venerable of the Nether King Palace!"

"My God! She recently broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm of Daluo, a presence like a divine being!"

"Who are they looking for? The Holy Emperor of Qin? Could the master of the nine-dragons carriage earlier really be the Holy Emperor of Qin?"

"Tsk, tsk, the drama begins!"

The cultivators discussed fervently. Both the Nether Dream Demon Venerable and the Holy Emperor of Qin were famous figures; witnessing legendary beings appear before their eyes and possibly engaging in battle soon, how could they not be excited?

At this moment, Yang Jian leapt up and positioned himself in front of Nether Dream Demon Venerable and the six of them, blocking their path.

"Courting death!"

Yang Jian said coldly. His right hand raised, and the War God’s Trident appeared instantly in his hand, his robe transforming into a majestic armor at a visible speed.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable frowned slightly, instantly recognizing Yang Jian’s identity.

Although Yang Jian wasn’t the strongest in the Great Qin Heavenly Court, his fame was particularly resounding, especially since he had challenged ten domains with his spear, shocking countless people. Nether Dream Demon Venerable, who often lurked in the Southern Domain and Southernmost Sea, had also heard of him.

"Kill him!" Nether Dream Demon Venerable said coldly; to her, Yang Jian, who was just at the late stage of the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm, was hardly worthy of her attention.

As her words fell, the five Taiyi Mysterious Immortals behind her each took out their treasures, moving towards Yang Jian like specters from different directions.

Yang Jian suddenly opened the third eye on his forehead, smiling coldly, and felt especially exhilarated in his heart—finally, there was a fight again!

With a loud shout, he turned into golden light and charged towards the five Taiyi Mysterious Immortals, moving so fast that the opponents couldn’t keep up with their eyes.

Although he was only at the late stage of the Taiyi Mysterious Immortal Realm, he could clash head-on with those who had just entered the Golden Immortal Realm of Daluo. Why would he fear five Taiyi Mysterious Immortals?

Clang—

With a reckless slash, Yang Jian knocked a Taiyi Golden Immortal flying, sending him hurtling toward the street below, causing the ground to crack and dust to fly, scattering the cultivators around in fear.

The remaining four Taiyi Mysterious Immortals were frightened and immediately surrounded him from different directions. One of them, a brawny man with a large saber, roared like a wild beast, slashing with his saber and lighting up the world, dazzling many onlookers.

Yang Jian, with his back to him, swiftly turned around, his third eye emitting a beam of golden light that dispersed the Sword Qi.

"You are all too weak!"

Yang Jian laughed arrogantly. Against a Daluo, he was at a complete loss, but facing five Taiyi Mysterious Immortals, he felt an unmatched ease.

A sweep of his saber sent two more Taiyi Mysterious Immortals flying thousands of meters out.

Nether Dream Demon Venerable watched, her pupils shrinking; she had underestimated Yang Jian’s strength.

Immediately, she raised the Nether King Sickle and threw it at Yang Jian. The Nether King Sickle flew from her palm, but the demonic qi followed the handle, connecting it to her palm, like a long, dark chain.

Yang Jian only felt a strong gust of wind strike his back and instinctively swung his saber to block.

Clang—

The War God’s Trident clashed with the Nether King Sickle, sparks flying. Yang Jian furrowed his brows and thought, "This woman’s strength is so great!"

Little did he know that Nether Dream Demon Venerable’s strength wasn’t that great; it was the high grade of the Nether King Sickle.

Yang Jian swung his right hand, attempting to shake off the Nether King Sickle. In the next second, his expression drastically changed; he felt as if the War God’s Trident was glued to the Nether King Sickle, unable to shake it off no matter how he tried.

At that moment, Nether Dream Demon Venerable shouted lightly, and the demonic qi in her palm suddenly moved—the Nether King Sickle retreated towards her.

The terrifying force pulled Yang Jian towards Nether Dream Demon Venerable.

"What on earth is this magical artifact?"

Yang Jian’s heart palpitated with fear, wanting to let go, but he found that the devilish energy from the Nether King’s sickle was being sucked through the War God’s trident and clung to his right hand.

Swoosh—

In a flash of lightning, a sound of tearing air came, and to everyone’s astonishment, it was a fire arrow that pierced through the right shoulder of the Nether Dream Demon Sovereign, splattering blood and causing the devilish energy between his palms to dissipate into smoke, allowing Yang Jian to escape danger.

The other five Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi were frightened and turned their heads in unison, only to see a wild man standing on the edge of a cliff on the small hill where Qin Jun had been, his hair flying wildly and his face bearing a defiant sneer as if mocking them for being too weak.

"How dare you! To sneak attack on our lord Demon Sovereign!"

The muscled man with the large sword bellowed and immediately flew towards the hill, intending to decapitate Hou Yi.

Hou Yi’s lips curled into a smile as he released another arrow, murmuring softly, "Foolish!"

Thwack—

The man with the big sword couldn’t react in time and had his head blown off by the arrow, blood spraying in all directions. This scene left numerous cultivators with their mouths wide open and faces filled with utter disbelief.

Even the Nether Dream Demon Sovereign and the four Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi were stunned.

Killing a Mysterious Immortal of Taiyi in a second?

Yang Jian’s pupils contracted, his heart filled with fear; truly, such was the terror of an ancient deity’s might in a single arrow.

"Run!"

The Nether Dream Demon Sovereign, clutching his bleeding right shoulder, cried out in a voice filled with fear.

If even she, who had reached the early stages of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, was so terrified, the remaining four Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi hurriedly turned to flee.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Hou Yi rapidly fired four arrows that tore through the air, directly blowing up the heads of the fleeing Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi and destroying their Primordial Spirits. They didn’t even have time to fly out of Kushi City.

Hou Yi then prepared to shoot at the Nether Dream Demon Sovereign, but a voice from Bai Ze arrived: "Don’t kill her!"

Although Hou Yi was puzzled, he didn’t release the arrow. Bai Ze was showing the tendencies of being the leading strategist, and Hou Yi had to give him that face.

Perhaps Bai Ze had her own strategies.

Silence!

The city fell silent!

Accompanied by the disappearance of the Nether Dream Demon Sovereign, sounds of sharp intakes of breath rose and fell throughout the city.

Yang Jian took a deep breath to calm his emotions and rushed toward the flying magic ship of the Nether King Palace; it was a piece of war loot.

A battle that could have obliterated the entire Kushi City ended so quickly that the cultivators within the city struggled to come back to their senses.

After seizing the flying magic ship, Yang Jian flew towards the small hill, and the city erupted into a tremendous uproar.

"My God! Five Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi were killed just like that?"

"What kind of terrifying being is hidden on that small hill..."

"Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi? Are you sure?"

"Nonsense, I am a Taiyi Loose Immortal and can tell that those five who died were Mysterious Immortals of Taiyi!"

"The legends say that the Holy Emperor of Qin has many strong subordinates, it seems true..."

Hou Yi heard those exclamations, shook his head with a smile, deeply concealing his skills and reputation, and turned to walk toward the magic tower.

The nine dragons lay prostrate on the ground, staring at him dumbfounded, and the fifty imperial guards, although expressionless, their eyes were also full of shock.

So strong!

Absolutely invincible!

Bai Ze laughed lightly, "If we killed that Daluo, the Nether King Palace and us would become mortal enemies; they would spare no effort to kill us, affecting His Majesty’s main plan. Letting her live can also serve to frighten the Nether King Palace by her words!"
