Chapter 716: Slaying the Demon Ancestor

Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Slaying the Demon Ancestor

Blood spattered across the sky.

The Ancestral Witch was pushed back hundreds of miles by Hou Yi’s arrow, her arms pierced with two bloody holes, the severe pain twisting her face and filling her heart with rage.

At the same time, she was filled with fear, wondering why Hou Yi had suddenly become so much stronger. That last arrow had almost been too much for her to handle.

Just as her heart pounded with trepidation, another arrow shot through the dim dust cloud ahead, even stronger than the last. The massive flaming arrow, like a meteor from beyond the sky wrapped in rolling flames, hurtled towards the Ancestral Witch.

"How is this possible!"

The Ancestral Witch cried out in shock and fear, and, with no time to dodge, she could only muster all her magic to resist.

Boom!

Black magic blossomed like a night-blooming cereus, attempting to block the unstoppable flaming arrow. But before the massive arrow, even the towering figure of the Ancestral Witch seemed minuscule.

"No——"

The Ancestral Witch screamed in terror as she was engulfed by the massive flaming arrow the next second, her screams coming to an abrupt halt.

The flaming arrow continued its unstoppable course towards the heavens, bringing calamity to an unknown number of demon soldiers and cultivators along its path. Young Master You, Nether Dream Demon Venerable, Six-Eared Macaque, and other beings stared, dumbfounded.

"Ding! Side quest completed——Defeat the Ancestral Witch! You have gained one God and Demon summon chance and one God and Demon instance chance!"

The system notification rang in Qin Jun’s mind, leaving him dumbstruck.

Had the Ancestral Witch died?

Two arrows!

Hou Yi had slain the Ancestral Witch with just two arrows. Qin Jun hadn’t even been able to see how Hou Yi had drawn his bow because everything had happened too quickly.

From his perspective, all he sensed was the thunderous roar of heaven and earth, the sudden blaze, and then the Ancestral Witch was gone...

In the distance, the black robe of the Sword Master fluttered wildly in the fierce wind. Reflected in his pupils was the sky full of fire. He furrowed his brows deeply and murmured, "Daluo’s Immortal Realm has reached perfection!"

His eyes filled with shock, he murmured again, "Another peerless powerhouse emerges in our time. It seems he is the Hou Yi from some time ago."

Daluo’s Immortal Realm perfection was a status so lofty that, throughout the whole world, one could count those who achieved it on one hand.

The Ancestral Witch was merely at the mid-stage of Daluo’s Immortal Realm and could already roam freely without fear, but in face of the perfected Hou Yi, she had not stood a chance.

After the flames that covered the sky had dissipated, the Ancestral Witch’s figure was nowhere to be found.

All was silent in heaven and earth!

The surviving cultivators and demon soldiers dumbly stared at the figure of Hou Yi, unable to wake from their shock for a long time.

"How is this possible..." the Six-Eared Macaque muttered to himself.

He knew all too well the strength of the Ancestral Witch; she had beaten him senseless. Yet seeing her die so quickly made him feel as if he was dreaming.

Then, he suddenly noticed Qin Jun and the others standing behind Hou Yi, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Could it be that the archer he encountered in the Great Qin Heavenly Palace that day was Hou Yi?

However, compared to that day, the current Hou Yi was incomparably stronger, by tens of thousands of times...

"I decree that this divine tomb is now mine!"

Qin Jun announced with a loud laugh, appearing supremely arrogant amidst the smoke and the figures of countless foes.

Having spoken, he stepped forth through the cosmos, heading towards Nether Lord City.

Hou Yi, Yang Jian, Bai Ze, Wen Zhong, Wang Jian, Dragon Emperor, Meng Tian, and the Double-pupil Bird followed closely by his side, dispersing the dust and smoke as they moved.

Looking down, the entire land had been turned into ruins, the ground hammered into a depression a thousand meters deep, pitted and rubble-strewn. Beneath the dim sky, it resembled a land of graves.

Though the Netherworld Wolf Demon’s appearance was brief, it had slaughtered over a million cultivators and countless magical beasts; most of the surviving beings were grievously injured.

The terror of the Void Wolf Demon’s destructive power was evident.

"Damn it! It’s him again!"

Young Master You gritted his teeth, eyes bloodshot with rage, not expecting Qin Jun to have such a formidable figure under his command.

Last time in Ancient Jicheng City, he didn’t even bother to remember Hou Yi, but this time, Hou Yi had completely overturned his cognition.

"Young Master, we should retreat!" a man in black said somberly, facing Hou Yi, he didn’t even entertain the idea of resisting.

Too powerful!

In his view, even across the entire Netherworld, only the Nether Emperor could suppress Hou Yi.

And the Holy Emperor of Qin was arrogant beyond measure, last time he didn’t give Young Master You face, and having just flexed his strength, he was even less likely to do so now.

Young Master You’s teeth were clenched in anger, his gaze icy cold, but he did not speak nor show any intention of retreating.

Far away, the Nether Dream Demon Lord trembled with fright, it was Qin Jun again!

The battles of the past had made her dread confronting Qin Jun, and this time, she was nearly scared out of her wits. Once she came to her senses, she didn’t hesitate, turning and fleeing.

With the departure of the Nether Dream Demon Lord, the cultivators of the Nether King Palace were like a dragon without a head, yet many were still greedy for the Nether Lord City and refused to leave.

Some cultivators had already entered the Nether Lord City earlier on.

"What should we do..." the Oni Demon King asked through clenched teeth.

The Six-Eared Macaque’s face was grim, the Demon Ancestor was dead and he truly didn’t know what to do.

He instinctively looked at Qin Jun, who was also looking at him. As their eyes met, Qin Jun smirked and Mouthed something, whispering in a volume just loud enough for those nearby to barely hear, "Come and prostrate before my throne!"

The Six-Eared Macaque’s hearing was terrifyingly sharp, surpassing even that of creatures with wind-attuned ears.

He was immediately tempted.

In this strange land, having a strong backer was more than ideal. The Great Qin Heavenly Court had shown strength far superior to the Demon Ruins, naturally stirring his interest.

With that thought, the look he gave the Oni Demon King turned treacherous, while the Oni Demon King, still in terror over Hou Yi, did not notice.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun and his people quickly arrived in front of Nether Lord City.

"This is what they call ’the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’."

Qin Jun said to everyone with a light chuckle. The Nether King Palace wanted to dominate Nether Lord City, but unfortunately, the Demon Ancestor came, thinking he had everything under control. Sadly for him, he met Hou Yi at his peak.

Everyone laughed along with him, all seeming very relaxed.

Armed with the unparalleled combat power of Hou Yi, they truly didn’t need to fear anyone.

Even the Demon Ancestor had died miserably under Hou Yi’s arrows which left Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and the Dragon Emperor with mixed feelings.

They originally thought that after ten thousand years, they could surprise Qin Jun, yet they still depended on Qin Jun’s protection, which filled them with shame.

They quickly reached the high tower at the center of Nether Lord City, and as soon as they landed, Hou Yi frowned and warned, "Be careful of the gases around."

The whole Nether Lord City was sealed, with no doors that could be opened, only this high tower with open doors and windows. Not familiar with Nether Lord City, they obviously couldn’t just recklessly barge in, so they did not break through the walls and rush in.

Qin Jun noticed the greenish-black gases floating around like smoke.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Bai Ze dispersed the greenish-black gases nearby.

"Nether Lord City has a long history. You must all be very careful, don’t think that just because you have a Daluo at the peak of the Immortal Realm protecting you, you can be careless." Ji Yongsheng reminded Qin Jun telepathically.

Qin Jun nodded in understanding and the group headed towards the open iron doors beneath the high tower.

Far away, cultivators and demonic beasts could no longer contain their restless hearts, all swarming towards Nether Lord City.
