Arrow Kills Gu Rong

The pearlescent flames grew increasingly intense, and the outline of the arrow became clearer, with a faint image of a Vermilion Bird spreading its wings within the shaft.

As the arrow passed through the sixth red soul ring, the entire world seemed to tremble.

The flames on the arrow suddenly erupted, transforming into a phantom of a Vermilion Bird with a wingspan of several dozen meters, surging forward while carrying an aura of total destruction.

As the arrow passed through the seventh red soul ring, the world changed color in that instant.

The long arrow resembled an unbridled Mystic Bird Vermilion Bird; wherever it passed, space shattered layer by layer like countless broken mirrors, emitting a piercing, cracking sound.

Pitch-black light surged from the jagged spatial rifts, intertwining with the pearlescent flames to create a bizarre and magnificent scene.

Carrying the shattered space, the burning flames, and the aura of destruction, the arrow arrived first despite being fired later, catching up to the Bone Dragon that had already fled to the edge of the horizon!

Gu Rong sensed the anomaly behind him and looked back, only to see the overwhelming Mystic Bird Vermilion Bird already upon him!

"Crack—!"

The long arrow instantly pierced through the Bone Dragon's body, entering through the center of its brow and exiting through the back of its skull, continuing to fly toward the distant horizon until it vanished at the end of the clouds.

The Bone Dragon could not offer any resistance; it did not even have time to let out a scream.

The world fell silent for a moment, and then, the pearlescent flames instantly surged across the Bone Dragon's body.

The stark white bones rapidly lost their luster within the pearlescent flames, turning gray, brittle, and then crumbling into a pile of fine ash, which slowly dissipated into the void as the wind blew.

There was no struggle, no wailing, only a silent demise.

A generation of Title Douluo, the Bone Douluo Gu Rong, known as the world's number one in defense, had thus turned into a pile of ashes and vanished with the wind.

Yan Lingji waved her hand slightly, and the arrow, its momentum undiminished even at the edge of the sky, turned into a streak of light and dissipated into the air.

She withdrew her hand and turned to look at Zhao Linchuan, the coldness on her face fading, replaced by a gentle smile.

She walked over slowly with a composed gait, her skirt swaying gently in the wind like a red lotus brushed by a breeze.

"Husband," her voice was soft, carrying a hint of playfulness, "my sixth soul skill provides me with a dual-purpose weapon soul skill."

"It can take the form of the Vermilion Bird Bow you saw, or it can transform into a long sword, just like your martial soul."

She walked up to Zhao Linchuan, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Husband, do you need me to buy you a few maidservants for your chambers?" Her tone was teasing and provocative. "In case your husbandly authority ever falters in the future, you'll have somewhere to vent your frustrations~"

Zhao Linchuan looked at her smiling, flower-like face and the undisguised pride and playfulness in her eyes, remaining silent for a moment.

"Sigh," after the silence, Zhao Linchuan let out a soft sigh, reached out, patted her head, and said sincerely, "My wife is formidable..."

A long time later, the sunlight once again bathed the earth, and the wind blew through the valley, carrying away the scent of gunpowder from the battle and bringing the fresh fragrance of grass and trees from afar.

Bibi Dong had emerged from her hiding spot at some point and stood not far away, clutching the Image Recording Stone in her hand. Her mouth was wide open, her eyes rounded, and her expression was one of utter disbelief.

She looked at the Bone Dragon that had dissipated into the wind, then at Zhao Linchuan, and finally fixed her gaze on Yan Lingji, her lips trembling several times before she managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Sister Lingji, you, you killed a Title Douluo...?"
