After Yi Yun took out his longbow, the Ancient Savage Beast seemed to sense Yi Yun provocation. It roared and pounced on Yi Yun!

Yi Yun's pupils contracted, and he leaped into the air, his entire body tumbling and spinning like a leaf blown by the wind.

Call out!

Ancient Savage Beast swept past Yi Yun rolled over repeatedly, allowing his body to graz the Ancient Savage Beast's back and avoid its attack! Even the bone spikes on the Ancient Savage Beast's back grazed Yi Yun's face with their sharp points – a truly close call!

Yi Yun dodged the Ancient Savage Beast's attack!

Huh? You dodged it?

Everyone was taken aback. They hadn't expected this kid to be so agile. They had thought that even if Yi Yun dodged it, he would be in a terrible state. But he not only dodged the frontal attack, but he also dodged the energy fluctuations.

"This is just the beginning. Soon that Ancient Savage Beast will open its third eye, and then this kid will die."

"I'm not willing to accept this," said the young Shentu.

At this moment, Lin Fengyue said to Yi Yun, "The area behind the wild beast is a blind spot for attack; try to hide there!"

Lin Fengyue meant well. He was not jealous of Yi Yun. As one of the few juniors in the Lin family who was second only to Lin Xin Tong, Lin Fengyue had his own pride. He was valued by the Lineage, and his status even surpassed that of Yi Yun.

For a martial arts family, the most outstanding genius in martial arts has a higher status than the genius in Savage Heaven Technique. Martial arts is the foundation of the Lineage and can support everything. Savage Heaven Technique, on the other hand, serves the martial arts.

Under these circumstances, neither Lin Fengyue nor Lin Xiaodie actually wanted to see Yi Yun die a tragic death.

However, Lin Yu was different. Hearing Lin Fengyue's words, Lin Yu sneered, thinking to himself, "What's the use of reminding him! He's only dodged the first attack; it's too early."

Yi Yun smiled kindly at Lin Fengyue's well-intentioned advice. The fact that he could still smile amidst the storm of attacks made Lin Yu frown.

This kid...

"Roar!"

The Ancient Savage Beast attacked again, Yi Yun dodged the attack by weaving and twisting in the air!

The feeling was as if Yi Yun's body was truly a leaf, and the powerful wind from the Ancient Savage Beast's charge blew Yi Yun away.

The faster the Ancient Savage Beast moved, the stronger the wind became, and the faster Yi Yun was blown away; conversely, the slower the beast moved, the slower he was blown away.

Yi Yun's movements appeared extremely light, dodging attacks with perfect precision, making it impossible to tell whether he was handling them with effortless ease or simply being lucky enough to narrowly avoid each attack.

"Huh?"

Gongsun Hong slightly raised his eyelids, glancing at Yi Yun with surprise. A glint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. One or two dodges wouldn't prove anything, but several consecutive dodges were enough to demonstrate the exquisite skill of Yi Yun's Movement Technique. "A bit unexpected..."

None of the outstanding talents present caught Gongsun Hong's eye, and Yi Yun was no exception. However, Gongsun Hong did not expect that Yi Yun had some skill. His strength was probably equivalent to Lin Yu's level. For a Desolate Savage Heaven Master apprentice who had devoted a lot of energy to the Savage Heaven Technique to have the level of Lin Yu was quite impressive.

Just then, the Ancient Savage Beast roared and opened its third eye.

"This is eye-opening!"

The young Shentu sneered. Before the Ancient Savage Beast opened their eyes, few could withstand them, but after they opened their eyes, they were almost instantly defeated. They were not even on the same level.

The moment the Ancient Savage Beast opened its third eye, Yi Yun also drew the Great Cang Bow; this was the moment he had been waiting for!

When the Ancient Savage Beast opens its third eye, it reaches its strongest form, but this is also when its weaknesses are exposed.

Without its third eye activated, the Ancient Savage Beast was helpless against Yi Yun, who could only dodge like Gongsun Hong and the others. But now, Yi Yun could test his idea: danger also meant opportunity!

Gripping the Great Cang Bow tightly, Yi Yun activated his Energy Vision. The cold metallic touch in his hand seemed to be connected to Yi Yun bloodline. This was a fine bow crafted by a master from the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. The bow body was made of Great Cang Iron Essence. After being infused with Yuan Qi, its hardness and toughness would be greatly enhanced. The more Yuan Qi injected, the harder the Great Cang Bow would be, the more difficult it would be to draw, and the greater its power!

The Great Cang Bow might not seem like much in the Tianyuan Realm, but once its body is infused with Yuan Qi, it can exert as much force as it can, enough to withstand all of Yi Yun's power and allow Yi Yun to unleash his full potential!

Ancient Savage Beast pounced on Yi Yun, its gaping maw wide open. Yi Yun neither dodged nor evaded; he stared intently at the beast, his Great Cang Bow bent to its fullest extent, ready to fire a cold arrow!

When Yi Yun first chose his weapon, he felt an unusual affinity for the bow. Back in Tai'a Divine City, when he was still an insignificant nobody, Yi Yun used the bow to hunt down a Primordial Relic Medicine!

What is he going to do!?

People were shocked to see Yi Yun suddenly stop and fight the Ancient Savage Beast!

Yi Yun's Movement Technique was much better than they had expected. Although people like Shen Tu and Lin Yu, due to their emotional biases, still firmly believed that Yi Yun would be eliminated after the Ancient Savage Beast opened its third eye, many more rational people thought that if Yi Yun did his best and risked serious injury, he might still be able to pass this trial. However, they never expected that Yi Yun would suddenly do something so suicidal at this moment!

"Is he courting death?"

"This is insane!"

In the blink of an eye, people cried out, but it was too late. The fangs of the Ancient Savage Beast were already biting at Yi Yun's head. Just as the Ancient Savage Beast was about to close its mouth, Yi Yun released the bowstring and the arrow was released!

"Collapse!"

A clear, resonant sound of a bowstring vibrating, like the roar of a dragon, echoed through my ears.

The Chasing Wind Arrows transformed into a divine light, shooting straight into the mouth of the Ancient Savage Beast!

Yi Yun's arrow, guided by his Energy Vision, seemed to be a simple shot into the mouth of Ancient Savage Beast, but in fact, the angle and speed at which it was shot were extremely particular and could not be simulated by ordinary people.

Yi Yun's target is a crystal found in the back of the head of Ancient Savage Beast.

That is the core of the Ancient Savage Beast, the source of energy that drives it.

It is also the true form of the third eye of the Ancient Savage Beast!

The third eye on the forehead of the Ancient Savage Beast is actually a projection of this crystal. If Yi Yun were to shoot the third eye, it would be of no use, because the crystal's strongest energy is concentrated in the third eye.

Only an arrow that strikes directly at the target can kill instantly!

The Ancient Savage Beast was terrified as the sword shot into its mouth!

It reacted extremely quickly, actually trying to close its big mouth and bite down hard on Yi Yun's arrow!

Yi Yun would never let it have its way. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it wouldn't come again!

"Radiant Sun True Qi, Explode!"

The phantom of Tanggu appeared behind Yi Yun. When he fired the Chasing Wind Arrows, he infused the arrow with the Radiant Sun True Qi, and now he unleashed it in full force.

The Chasing Wind Arrows burst forth with divine light, accelerating suddenly like a shooting star, and rushed into the mouth of the Ancient Savage Beast before it could close its jaws.

The arrowhead pierced flesh, killing him instantly!

"Boom!!"

The four-foot-long arrow pierced the ground to the hilt, obscuring the fletching. The Ancient Savage Beast abruptly halted, stopping just a foot away from Yi Yun.

Holding the Great Cang Bow, Yi Yun stared intently at the Ancient Savage Beast at close range. At this distance, Yi Yun could feel the terrifying aura of the Ancient Savage Beast even more clearly. Its ferocious fangs and chilling pupils gave Yi Yun a great sense of oppression.

"An arrow entering its mouth?" Gongsun Hong was taken aback, but then shook his head. "Even if it enters, it's useless. Although the flesh inside the mouth is soft, it won't be a weakness for the Ancient Savage Beast. Its tongue is covered with barbs like steel needles; it can't be pierced..."

Gongsun Hong was certain that a terrifying beast of this caliber could not possibly be defeated by relying on ordinary weaknesses such as its eyes, mouth, or abdomen.

However, before he could finish speaking, the Ancient Savage Beast's body suddenly trembled violently. Its energy-based form shifted rapidly, and after a few breaths, a loud "boom" resounded as the Ancient Savage Beast exploded into countless showers of light, scattering and disappearing in all directions...

Gongsun Hong, who was always calm and composed, seemingly unmoved even if mountains collapsed before him, was completely dumbfounded and his face changed drastically when he saw this scene!

What!?

The rain of light continued to fall freely before his eyes, like a divine miracle descending from the heavens, as if mocking Gongsun Hong's blind confidence and ignorance. Gongsun Hong's mouth gaped open, unable to close it for a long time...
