Chi Qi looked up and suddenly discovered that amid the yellow smoke blanketing the sky overhead, a vast sea of blood had appeared.
The sea of blood resembled a gigantic overturned bowl, descending from above, clearly intending to trap him within.
Chi Qi's gaze sharpened. He abruptly drew the longbow in his hand, its string taut as a full moon, and a black arrow condensed into existence.
In the next instant, the arrow shot forth like lightning, so fast that it left only an afterimage in the air.
The afterimage struck the sea of blood, sending countless drops of bloody rain spraying everywhere. A hole ten miles wide was blasted through the sea of blood.
Seeing that his full-powered arrow had failed to utterly shatter the sea of blood, Chi Qi's heart tightened. His figure flashed as he charged toward the bloody opening.
Just as he drew closer and closer to the opening, a terrifying aura suddenly struck from his left.
Chi Qi glanced sideways and discovered a spear over thirty feet long.
The entire spear was black as ink, its spear radiance flickering like a venomous serpent darting out its tongue.
With a wave of Chi Qi's hand, the towering shield suddenly flew up from below and met the spear head-on.
The instant the spear collided with the shield, an earth-shaking boom erupted.
A dense layer of azure light spread across the shield's surface, runes flowing over it as it blocked the spear's fierce assault.
Yet before Chi Qi could breathe a sigh of relief, a chilling killing intent descended from overhead.
It was precisely that short blade from earlier.
Chi Qi had no time to summon the shield and could only take the blow with his earthen-yellow barrier.
The short blade still failed to cleave through the barrier,
