Overwhelming Force
(There's one more chapter coming up, I'll update it together with this one, don't miss it)
"A sea beast and a dozen or so people are hiding on an island not far away." Facing the Yi Yun Eight-headed Sea Dragon...
At this moment, the Eight-headed Sea Dragon had fully emerged from the sea. Its huge, pool-like eyes stared intently at Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong, revealing a hint of fear and ferocity!
It sensed that the man and woman who suddenly appeared seemed to be formed from the purest power of heaven and earth. If it devoured the two of them, its strength would surely increase by leaps and bounds, and it might even be able to complete its evolution in one fell swoop!
Although the man and woman gave it an extremely dangerous feeling, the allure of evolution made it unable to restrain itself. Its eight tentacles emerged from the water and aimed at Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong. The gaping maws at the ends of the tentacles opened like giant pythons opening their mouths to hunt their prey!
"Fellow Daoist, be careful! That's the Eight-headed Sea Dragon, capable of overturning oceans and seas. It's far beyond our capabilities! You'd better run away quickly!"
Just then, Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong heard a voice transmission from the Man surnamed Zhou.
The Man surnamed Zhou was on tenterhooks. He risked his life to warn Yi Yun Lin Xin Tong, not out of kindness, but because he didn't want Lin Xin Tong to perish in the belly of the Eight-headed Sea Dragon.
If Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong realize the power of the Eight-headed Sea Dragon and turn to run away, it will be enough to attract the Eight-headed Sea Dragon's attention. Given the Eight-headed Sea Dragon's nature, it will naturally not let its prey escape and will give chase.
At this point, the Man surnamed Zhou could take the opportunity to escape with a group of junior disciples from the sect.
As for the treasure, whose existence was uncertain, the Man surnamed Zhou dared not even think about it. He had no doubt that the Eight-headed Sea Dragon had already discovered them and was ignoring them now, probably because it was attracted by the treasure and the unfortunate man and woman.
If he recklessly touches the treasure and incurs the wrath of the Eight-headed Sea Dragon, he will surely die a horrible death.
The Man surnamed Zhou had already kindly warned them. He thought that even if the couple didn't believe him, they would at least keep their distance and be on high alert, rather than lingering so close to the Eight-headed Sea Dragon at such a low altitude. This would be tantamount to sending themselves right to the mouth of the Eight-headed Sea Dragon's eight gaping maws!
But what happened next left the Man surnamed Zhou speechless. The young man in his twenties only glanced at him briefly after hearing his telepathic message, and then ignored him completely.
Next, he calmly took out a golden longbow from his Space Ring.
A bow, adorned with dragons and phoenixes, looks gaudy and ornate, with many seemingly useless decorations; it's truly an eyesore!
In Man surnamed Zhou's mind, this kind of bow was usually used by rich young masters who were dressed in fine clothes and rode horses to hunt and show off. The bows that were really used to kill people were often understated and looked very simple and ancient, but their sharpness and killing intent were contained in the bow. When they were used, they were earth-shattering!
"These two idiots, aren't they going to run away?" The Man surnamed Zhou was extremely anxious. "This is going to get us killed! Never mind, we have to split up and escape. We can't wait any longer!"
The Man surnamed Zhou had already categorized Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong as spoiled brats who had never seen bloodshed. He believed that such people were invincible after beating up a few servants at home, and that they would inevitably suffer a bloody defeat in the outside world.
Of course, this time the price was much higher; most of them would perish directly inside the belly of the Eight-headed Sea Dragon, without even being able to delay the inevitable.
If you don't escape now, you'll have no chance at all.
Upon hearing that they would escape separately, the disciples of the Bai Ling Sect turned slightly pale. Escaping separately meant that as many as they could survive would do so.
The girl with the oval face, in particular, turned deathly pale with fear, like a frightened little rabbit. She was young and slow, making her the most likely prey to be eaten! At this moment, her fellow disciples, who usually pursued her, all lowered their heads. In this life-or-death situation, no one was truly willing to risk their own lives to take her with them!
"Get ready! I'll give the order to escape!"
As the Man surnamed Zhou spoke, a roar suddenly erupted from the sea, like a mountain collapsing. The seawater radiated outwards like a shockwave, blowing up a thick layer of water mist, like a dispersing wall of water!
Because Yi Yun took out his weapon, Eight-headed Sea Dragon was clearly enraged!
Its last shred of hesitation vanished, and with a roar, its eight tentacles, like dragons emerging from the sea, pounced towards Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong!
In an instant, the sea surged, and the waves roared to the sky!
Amidst the raging winds and towering waves, Yi Yun remained unfazed, drawing his carved Carved Bow and nocking a flying arrow.
Draw the bow and shoot!
"Collapse!"
It was a soft sound, nothing earth-shattering, as if Yi Yun had simply fired an arrow casually.
The arrow on the bowstring had already transformed into a golden light and flown out, dazzlingly bright!
The arrow was incredibly fast, like a burning flame, and instantly pierced the Eight-headed Sea Dragon's brow!
"Boom boom boom!"
Eight tentacles, still able to strike out due to inertia!
Just then, a blinding divine light suddenly shone from the spot between the eyebrows of the Eight-headed Sea Dragon, where Yi Yun had shot it with an arrow!
Divine light swept in all directions, its power unstoppable!
The eight thick tentacles were severed because of the appearance of this divine light!
Vast amounts of blood splattered, staining the sunlight red, and severed tentacles flew into the sky!
A giant octopus trembled violently, and its massive head burst into flames of crimson gold, burning fiercely as if a sun had appeared in the sea!
The sunlight shone brightly, illuminating the face of the Man surnamed Zhou on the distant island.
Seeing the Yamata Eight-headed Sea Dragon engulfed in flames and all eight of its tentacles severed, he was completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide open.
Beside him, the disciples of the Bai Ling Sect were all dumbfounded, their mouths slightly agape, unable to close them for a long time.
To their disbelief, they saw the young man flip his hand and put away his longbow, calmly watching the golden flames soar into the sky, unmoved, as if he had only done something insignificant.
Throughout the entire process, the young man with the bow and the woman beside him did not move an inch, and their clothes were not even wet. The woman's veil was not even lifted by the wind.
It was as if everything that had just happened existed in a different time and space from theirs!
The Man surnamed Zhou was completely speechless. This was nothing like killing an Eight-headed Sea Dragon. Even killing a small octopus used to make dumplings would be that simple!
Just then, the Man surnamed Zhou felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He noticed that the man with the bow glanced in his direction before slowly flying over.
In an instant, the Man surnamed Zhou tensed up, and his face turned pale!
