A Stunning Arrow

While the battle raged fiercely in Langya City, four figures gathered furtively on the outskirts of the Huan Continent, exchanging knowing smiles.

"Oh, Sword Monarch, you're also planning to take this path?"

The slovenly dressed old man, reeking of alcohol, greeted us with a cheerful smile.

"Aren't you the same?"

The old man, addressed as Sword Monarch, spoke casually, then changed the subject, glancing around.

"I didn't expect you old folks to be so enthusiastic."

The newcomers were none other than Flame King and the others who had stood up to block Blood Heavenly Demon Emperor during the Great War.

"After all, this is the shortest route, isn't it? We can't miss out on such a golden opportunity. I've been worried about not having enough of Great Thousand Wine, a specialty of the Great Thousand Pavilion, and now, I've just seized the chance."

"We initially thought that kid was being overly cautious, but it turns out we were short-sighted."

"I am speaking in a relaxed tone," said the Flame King.

"What the Flame King says is absolutely right." Starry Night Old Ancestor smiled and agreed, inwardly marveling at Xiao Han's foresight.

He was also very surprised. Back at the Great Thousand Pavilion, before everyone parted ways, Xiao Han found them and offered to give them the Secret Method that could enhance their strength for free in exchange for their help without compromising their own safety.

The meeting of the four a few days ago was quite unexpected for each other. Four times, the help from the Immortal Grade Peak Heavenly Supreme Sovereign was regarded as a strong foundation of any force, which would have to use it carefully. As a result, these trump cards were thrown out all at once.

They initially thought it was a waste of talent, but it wasn't until the two forces unleashed their overwhelming demonic power, which could be easily felt even at the edge of the Huan Continent, that they truly appreciated each other's foresight and wisdom.

With two Profound Demon Emperors, and fewer people around, it's quite possible that the other side could seize an opportunity to escape.

"Hehe!"

He casually hung the Wine Gourd at his waist, a cold glint flashing in the Flame King's eyes, his tone indifferent.

"Losing two Profound Demon Emperors at once is enough to make the Extraterrestrial Evil race feel the pinch for quite some time."

"Senior Flame King, please stop talking, my fists can't hold back any longer."

Wild Realm, who hadn't had a chance to interject, spoke excitedly.

"Gentlemen, you'd better tone down your imposing manner; scaring people away wouldn't be ideal."

Starry Night Old Ancestor coughed.

"That's true."

"Haha, since we're going to encircle them anyway, why don't we act together?"

With a few suppressed chuckles, four figures disappeared into the space.

The battlefield of Langya City.

A jet-black blade flashed down, and with no way to dodge, Ice Emperor formed a hand seal, causing the Long Whip that had been released from her hand to spin rapidly in the air, condensing into an incredibly solid round shield.

"Boom!"

As the blade's light dissipated, Ice Emperor, along with his round shield, was sent flying thousands of feet away. Just as he regained his footing, he stomped his foot again and charged towards his opponent at an even greater speed, and the fierce battle erupted once more.

"Bite!"

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

As the fight progressed, Ye Sha's brow furrowed more and more, indicating that he was not at a disadvantage.

Although his opponent's strength was comparable to that of the newly-breakthrough Profound Demon Emperor, he was still inferior to him. If this continued, he could kill him on the spot in less than an hour.

However, whether it was his imagination or not, although he had been in a superior position, his opponent was not impatient. He was simply fighting methodically and preventing him from getting close to the battlefield where Ji Ying was.

It seems... it seems like they're trying to stall him?

But what's the point?

He suspected there might be some conspiracy involved, but he could sense that Ji Ying was also pressuring the opponent, and it wouldn't be long before they dismantled that Immortal Grade Spirit Array.

"That's strange."

Ye Sha murmured to himself.

While the battle on Ice Emperor's side could be described as back and forth, Yang Ling and his group were essentially being utterly crushed on one side.

Under the control of several people, the Sky Covering Sun Array became shaky and began to ripple more and more under the bombardment of Ji Ying.

"You have to hold on!"

Yang Ling kept encouraging the others, but her distressed expression, drenched in cold sweat, was truly hard to accept.

"You'd better mind your own business," Qian Cha, fully fulfilling his role as a mortal enemy.

"This guy over there is something special."

The usually taciturn You Ye stole a moment from her busy schedule to say something.

The other three remained silent.

Nonsense!

Everyone knows the other side is no pushover.

I thought a quarter of an hour would be a piece of cake, but now it feels like an eternity.

Now they are absolutely certain that the opponent is no ordinary Profound Demon Emperor; at least, not just any Profound Demon Emperor could accurately strike the weak points of the Spirit Array.

What merit do I possess!

They never imagined that they would encounter one of the few powerful Extraterrestrial Evil race who had some understanding of Spirit Array.

"Change formation!"

Now that things have come to this, stubbornly holding our ground is a dead end; the only option is to use the Grand Array to cause some trouble for the enemy.

The group communicated rapidly, and the formation transformed once again through their cooperation. A sharp longsword Grand Array took shape in mid-air, its dazzling golden light shining like the blazing sun high in the sky.

"Oh? Finally, you've stopped hiding?"

Seeing the changes in the Grand Array, Ji Ying also revealed a look of curiosity.

The opponent's Grand Array was like a thick tortoise shell. Although he could roughly see the flaws in the Spirit Array, the feel of striking it was still not very good.

Squinting at the colossal sword towering above his head, Ji Ying's expression hardened slightly. With a thought, a pitch-black Demon Statue emerged from behind him.

Unlike ordinary Demon Statue, the Demon Statue behind Ji Ying had closed eyes and its body was wrapped in chains covered with sharp spikes.

"Forbidden!"

Buzz!

Slowly, the Demon Statue opened its eyes; the empty eye sockets had no eyeballs to fill them, and its eerie expression sent chills down one's spine.

Having successfully merged into the Demon Statue's body, Ji Ying controlled the former to bring his hands together.

The air currents gradually changed, and suddenly, the atmosphere of the battlefield shifted instantly. The chains around the Demon Statue seemed to sense some kind of summons, and in an instant, they coalesced, forming Sky-Supporting Giant Pillar that shot towards the giant sword in the sky.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The expressions of the people from the Langya Heavenly Palace changed drastically. At the moment of collision, the giant pillar suddenly disintegrated and transformed back into several iron chains like pythons, tightly wrapping and binding the ten-thousand-foot-long sword.

"Change!"

Yang Ling and the others rapidly changed their hand seals, and their longswords trembled slightly, transforming into countless soft ropes that shot towards the Demon Statue entrenched in the void.

"Snort!"

Seeing this, Ji Ying was not angry but pleased, and sneered. He immediately manipulated the chains to shoot towards the weak point of the Spirit Array.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Unlike before, this time the chains pierced through the protective barrier formed by the Grand Array formation, clearing out rows of pavilions without showing any signs of weakness. Some unlucky Elder and disciples were even sent flying by the aftershocks, their fates unknown, while others died on the spot.

It's over!

Yang Ling and the others looked ashen-faced, not even having time to wipe the blood from the corners of their mouths.

"Um?"

The changes on the battlefield did not escape the notice of Ice Emperor, who frowned as he became entangled with Ye Sha.

"That shouldn't be!"

According to his understanding, Immortal Grade Spirit Array shouldn't be that fragile. Moreover, when Xiao Han left, he mentioned that the Sky Covering Sun Array had an extremely important transformation, and it was this transformation that propelled the former to the pinnacle of Immortal Grade Spirit Array.

"Hahaha!"

Ice Emperor, lost in thought, was caught off guard by Ye Sha, who launched a sudden attack that nearly brought him to his knees. Upon seeing this, the latter burst into wild laughter.

"I'd like to see how your Langya Heavenly Palace will withstand the divine might of my race!"

"Then let's give it a try!"

Thinking that the time was almost up, Ice Emperor's expression turned cold, and his fighting style suddenly became aggressive, leaving Ye Sha momentarily stunned.

"Buzz!"

Just as everyone in the city was in despair, the broken Grand Array underwent a strange change. Everyone clearly saw that one of the blazing suns hanging high in the sky suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

The bright white light was almost blinding, and then, rings of golden light emanated from the Blazing Sun, enveloping the city and spreading outwards.

"Um?"

Ji Ying's sense of foreboding grew stronger. When he subconsciously tried to pull back the chains, he was surprised to find that the light shield had been repaired and was now firmly locked inside, preventing the chains from moving.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, the blinding rays of the blazing Blazing Sun outlined a human figure in the air, the first impression of which was one of profound divinity, majestic and inviolable.

His face was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see clearly; only his left hand, holding a large bow, could be vaguely discerned.

Without any unnecessary movements, the moment the Dharma Body appeared, it immediately assumed the posture of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow, and a golden arrow took shape, its target pointing directly at the Ji Ying.

At this moment, alarm bells rang in Ji Ying's mind, and he frantically manipulated his Dharma Body, only to find that it remained completely still.

"Call out!"

As the arrow pierced through space, time seemed to stand still, traversing the tens of thousands of feet between them without a trace, and arriving before the Demon Statue in an instant. The soft light on the arrowhead made Ji Ying feel the pain of being struck by a thousand arrows.

"Move for me!"

Ji Ying roared.

"Boom!"

The instant the figure appeared, Xiao Han, who was rushing back towards the Great Thousand World in the Void Space, also sensed something.

"The Arrow God has been summoned?"

After Xiao Han thoroughly comprehended the Sky Covering Sun Array, its hidden core transformation was also exposed. When the Grand Array was broken, the energy storage core of the Sky Covering Sun Array would condense a dharma Dharma Body containing all the Spiritual Power of the Grand Array according to the mind of the formation setter, and unleash its ultimate power!

The key point is that when the Dharma Body appears, it also means that Langya Heavenly Palace is facing a great crisis. The Grand Array formation has only been set up for a short time, and the accumulated energy cannot last long. We can only pray that his original arrangements can be put to use in time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Han's expression hardened slightly, and Liu Qingyang, who was beside him, noticed the change in the former's expression.

"Senior? Has something happened?"

Xiao Han nodded.

"Perhaps we need to hurry."

Without giving Liu Qingyang time to answer, he covered his entire body with Spiritual Power and then used all his strength to travel through the Void Space.

Leaving aside Xiao Han's feelings for the moment, the sudden appearance of the Dharma Body Arrow God at the Langya Heavenly Palace also shocked the two Demon Emperors, the people of the Langya Heavenly Palace, and the Flame King and others who came to provide support.

"My goodness! Langya Heavenly Palace is defying the heavens!"

The Flame King Forbidden Ground sigh.

"We truly underestimated young friend Xiao Han's talent in Spirit Array!"

"This Spirit Array is probably top-tier even among Immortal Grade."

Starry Night Old Ancestor also agreed, and the others had no different expressions.

They then looked with pity at the Demon Statue in the distance that was missing an arm. Even as mere observers, these peak-level Immortal Grade Heavenly Supreme couldn't help but feel fear at the sight of that arrow.

The former took that blow head-on, and it wasn't just a matter of losing an arm.

"Old brothers, it's our turn to step in now."

Seeing the light and shadow slowly dissipate, the Flame King took a swig of strong liquor and reminded him.

"Yes." Everyone else agreed.

At this moment, Ji Ying's mind was filled with fear and anger. He was terrified that he had just walked through the gates of hell. If he hadn't dodged the arrow in time, it wouldn't have been as simple as a serious injury and a severed arm; he might have even died on the spot.

But then a surge of anger followed. He had prided himself on being cautious, yet he had stumbled when victory seemed assured—it was an utter disgrace!

"Today, you will all die!"

Ji Ying noticing the figure that had threatened his life had disappeared, Ji Ying gritted his teeth and growled.

"I'd like to see just how many trump cards your newly risen forces have left!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a leisurely greeting came from not far away.

"Oh, isn't this our Extraterrestrial Evil race Profound Demon Emperor, Lord Xuanmo?"

"What's wrong? Long time no see, you've gotten such a bad diaper?"

The moment the four figures appeared, Ji Ying and Ye Sha, who were fighting Ice Emperor, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

It's over!
