Hundredfold Return: Sun-Shooting Bow! Autumn Hunt Begins!

"Pop!"

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Ruyu, blushing, pulled away.

"Jiu Lang, this is my heart! Even if you are burdened by family shackles now, I will always wait for you…"

With that, Yan Ruyu walked out of the room and disappeared into the night, leaving only a lingering fragrance.

"Sigh, it's hardest to bear a beauty's kindness!"

Xiao Yang shook his head helplessly.

Just then, the System's prompt sound echoed in his ears again.

[Ding! Host gifted the "Spirit Grade High Rank" Cloud Piercing Bow, triggering a reward!]

Xiao Yang's eyes lit up.

It must be Ning Hongye who had finished her bath and accepted the Cloud Piercing Bow.

[Hundredfold Return: "Emperor Grade High Rank" Divine Weapon, Sun-Shooting Bow, Star-Falling Arrow!]

[Sun-Shooting Bow: The bowstring is made from the tail feathers of an ancient Golden Crow. When shooting arrows, it can summon the lightning and fire of the nine heavens, shaking the heavens and earth with infinite power!]

[Star-Falling Arrow: Can automatically recharge. The number of arrows depends on the host's strength!]

[Extract immediately?]

"Yes!"

Xiao Yang was instantly filled with excitement.

The next moment, with a flash of light, a great bow appeared before him!

The bow body was seven feet long, far exceeding the specifications of ordinary bows. The Fusang Divine Wood was used as the bow arms, and the surface was covered with patterns burned by the True Sun Fire.

"So heavy!"

Xiao Yang tried to pick up the Sun-Shooting Bow, only to feel his arm sink, almost unable to lift it.

He knew that his current single-arm strength had reached a thousand jin, which showed the extraordinary nature of this divine weapon.

He took the Sun-Shooting Bow to the backyard, wanting to test its power. He tried to draw the bowstring but found he couldn't move it at all.

"Damn it! I don't believe this today!"

"Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger!"

"Open— for— me!!!"

Xiao Yang roared, gritting his teeth, putting all his strength into it, his muscles trembling.

He unleashed the Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger, his strength soaring to over ten thousand jin, and only then could he barely draw the bowstring inch by inch.

"Hum hum hum…"

At the same time, a faint golden arrow condensed at his fingertips.

Star-Falling Arrow!

It was not a physical entity but a manifestation of primal energy.

"Drawing the carved bow like a full moon, gazing northwest, shooting the Sirius!"

"Go!"

At this moment, Xiao Yang was filled with heroic spirit, as if possessed by the ancient hero Hou Yi who shot down the sun. He shot an arrow towards the northwest direction outside Xuelong Pass.

"Whoosh!"

The Star-Falling Arrow shot out, carrying a blinding white light that no one dared to look at directly, tearing through the clouds and ripping through the night sky.

The entire night sky was illuminated, momentarily resembling daylight, dazzling and brilliant!

Countless commoners looked up, marveling.

"Look quickly, it's a meteor from the sky!"

"Such an anomaly is truly rare!"

"…"

Deep within the Prince's Estate, in the study.

King Zhenbei's eyes snapped open, and he looked towards the northwest night sky, his gaze like lightning.

"Such power, is it a seventh-rank Grandmaster? I wonder who this divine being is?!"

At the same time.

Outside Xuelong Pass, a hundred miles to the northwest, in a hidden warehouse.

Two figures were lurking together furtively.

If Xiao Yang were present, he would recognize these two as the Eldest Prince Xiao Junlin and the Fourth Prince Xiao Chusheng.

"Eldest Brother, Father King is too biased towards Ninth Brother!"

Xiao Chusheng couldn't help but complain, "Ninth Brother is lawless. He crippled Third Brother, and I'm afraid he'll be climbing over our heads next!"

Xiao Junlin frowned, "Father King is considering the bigger picture. The engagement ceremony is about to be held, and the royal family will send an envoy to attend. It's inconvenient to move Xiao Yang, the groom. But after the wedding, he'll have no more value!"

"Xiao Yang is just a [Bird in a Cage], he can't stir up any trouble. And by crippling Third Brother, he's also eliminated a competitor for me!"

"Besides, once our supplies arrive tonight, we'll be strong and well-equipped, and we can leave everyone else far behind. Why worry about not ascending the throne? Hahaha..."

Xiao Junlin burst into laughter.

Soon, two well-trained teams arrived at the warehouse, each with about a hundred people.

"Medicine King Valley Guardian, greetings to the Eldest Prince! This time we've brought 100 Spirit-grade Spirit Pills and 500 rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

An old man in a green robe knelt on one knee.

"East Pole Island Warrior, greetings to the Fourth Prince! This time we've brought 100 Ninjas, all of them fourth-rank warriors!"

Another warrior with a small mustache also knelt and bowed.

"Hahaha... Good!"

Both princes showed looks of satisfaction.

These Spirit Pills and warriors before them were the accumulation of their maternal clan's efforts over several years, transported here with great difficulty, all to help Xiao Junlin ascend the throne.

"Eldest Brother, once you become the new King Zhenbei, don't forget me!" the Fourth Prince said.

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly!" Xiao Junlin promised, patting his chest.

"And... I want to get revenge on Ninth Brother! Killing him directly would be too easy for him. Let's break all his limbs and imprison him in the Black Prison, where he'll suffer the pain of having his heart gouged out and his bones scraped day and night, unable to live or die!" the Fourth Prince gritted his teeth.

"Alright! And that Ning Hongye, bring her here too, to keep him company!"

Xiao Junlin's eyes were ferocious.

He had been narrowly killed twice by Ning Hongye's battle saber slashing his throat, and he naturally held a deep grudge, dreaming of revenge.

Just as the two were lost in their pleasant dreams...

"Rumble rumble..."

Suddenly, an incredibly terrifying pressure came from the sky, tearing open the clouds.

A single arrow shot out, like the wrath of a god, earth-shattering and unstoppable!

"Not good!"

"What kind of terrifying power is this? It's definitely the might of a seventh-rank Grandmaster!"

"Fourth Brother, escape quickly!"

Xiao Junlin's face changed drastically. He felt the threat of death was imminent and immediately fled into the distance.

The Fourth Prince dared not linger either, fleeing like a stray dog.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

The next second!

"Boom!"

The arrow fell, and the entire warehouse instantly exploded, engulfed in raging flames, with terrifying shockwaves sweeping out.

The two princes, possessing protective Spiritual Treasures, survived this calamity, but they were still not lightly injured.

As for the remaining East Pole Island warriors, they were not so lucky and were all killed, not a single one left alive.

The precious Medicine King Valley Spirit Pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures were also destroyed.

"Ahhh! They're dead... they're all dead..."

The Fourth Prince looked at the charred corpses of the warriors, his heart bleeding.

"Who did this? The news of our secret meeting was highly classified! Could it be the insidious Fifth Brother, or Sixth Brother?"

Xiao Junlin's face darkened, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.

But he never dreamed that this arrow, which seemed to descend from the heavens, was merely Xiao Yang testing the power of the Sun-Shooting Bow.

The might of a single arrow, terrifying indeed!

At the same time, inside the Prince's Estate.

"Phew..."

Xiao Yang, having shot just one arrow, felt as if his entire being had been drained dry, not a drop left.

With his current cultivation, shooting a single Star-Falling Arrow was already his limit.

But its power was immense!

"Good heavens! The range of this arrow is probably a hundred li, which is fifty thousand meters!"

"And the range of the Cloud Piercing Bow is only a thousand zhang, which is three thousand meters!"

"Compared to the Sun-Shooting Bow, those sniper rifles on Earth are weak. This is practically a long-range missile!"

Xiao Yang marveled inwardly, filled with excitement.

The power of this arrow far exceeded his imagination; it was likely equivalent to a strike from a Grandmaster!

As expected of an Emperor Grade divine weapon!

Previously, although he had obtained the Mysterious Scale Ten Thousand Dragon Armor, it was defensive, only allowing him to passively defend.

However, this Sun-Shooting Bow was an offensive divine weapon with infinite power.

But because the distance was too great, he couldn't accurately estimate the position and could only aim roughly, but that was enough.

Next time anyone dared to provoke him, he would just shoot them to death!

Afterward, Xiao Yang put away the Sun-Shooting Bow and returned indoors to begin meditating and recuperating.

For the next few days.

Xiao Yang stayed in his residence, focusing on cultivation.

Although he now possessed many treasures, his cultivation was still only at the Third Grade Qi Sea Realm, and he needed to improve it.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.

"Young Master, are you awake? Today is the day of the Autumn Hunt. The Prince has summoned all the Princes to go hunting in West Mountain!" Huangli said respectfully.

Autumn Hunt?

Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow, and then he remembered.

This was a tradition of the royal family. Every autumn, they would bring their children to the mountains for a hunt.

Whoever caught the most prey would receive commendations from the Father King.

If a Guard performed exceptionally, they could also be promoted and reused, even advancing three ranks.

"Alright, I'm coming!"

Xiao Yang washed up, then put on the Mysterious Scale Ten Thousand Dragon Armor and a battle saber at his waist.

He thought about it and decided not to bring the Sun-Shooting Bow.

Such a divine weapon was too powerful and inconvenient to display outside for the time being.

"Let's go to the stables first!" Xiao Yang said to Huangli after leaving the room.

Since it was the Autumn Hunt, he naturally needed a horse.

He had previously obtained the Emperor Grade spirit beast "Cloud-Treading Black Dragon Colt" through the System.

But that big black horse was too willful and didn't listen to him at all. It had even nudged Yan Ruyu's White Deer at the Lanting Poetry Gathering before...

Since then, Xiao Yang hadn't bothered with the big black horse, and today was a good opportunity to use it.

However, when he arrived at the stables, he saw a servant in a gray robe walking over with a worried expression.

"Ninth Young Master, you're finally here!"

"The black horse you keep is simply too difficult to serve! It only eats the tenderest green grass, and after taking one bite, it won't eat anymore, spitting out the rest! For water, it only drinks dew, otherwise, it refuses to eat!"

"That's fine, it's just a bit more work! But it also sows its seeds everywhere. All the mares in our stables have been ruined by it; they can barely stand!"

"Please take this great deity away quickly; this humble servant cannot serve it anymore..."

The servant poured out his troubles like a bamboo tube.

Xiao Yang was also speechless upon hearing this, not expecting the big black horse to be so unruly even when confined.

"Brother Black, give me some face today, let's go for a stroll!"

Xiao Yang walked into the stable, directly grabbed the big black horse's reins, and led it out.

The West Mountain hunting grounds were crowded.

Except for the Third Prince Xiao Li, who was punished with confinement, all the other Princes had arrived, bringing their subordinates.

In addition, Ning Hongye also brought Qing Luan.

She was riding a pure white horse named Night Shining Jade Lion, which Xiao Yang had obtained from the Fourth Prince.

However, the most eye-catching among the crowd was the Fourth Prince Xiao Chusheng.

He was riding a Blood-Sweating Horse, with a slender head, a high neck, and long limbs; it was incredibly majestic.

"Fourth Brother, what a magnificent horse!"

Xiao Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course!"

The Fourth Prince sat on his horse, head held high, chest puffed out, with a proud expression: "Ninth Brother, when I gave you the Night Shining Jade Lion before, I actually held something back!"

"This Blood-Sweating Horse is my most prized collection! It runs like the wind and can travel a thousand miles a day!"

"In today's Autumn Hunt, you are destined to not even see my back!"

The Fourth Prince said smugly, in a show-off tone.

"Oh? Is that so..."

Xiao Yang chuckled playfully, patted the Big Black Horse beside him, and shouted, "Big Black, go!"

As soon as the words left his mouth!

The Big Black Horse spotted the Blood-Sweating Horse and immediately became spirited, galloping over and butting it without restraint...

"Oof!"

The Fourth Prince, sitting on the horse's back, felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He instantly lost his balance and tumbled headfirst onto the ground!
