And this devastating arrow was aimed directly at Liu Mengli!
As Liu Mengli was dealing with the nine arrows, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Her hair stood on end, and when she looked up, her pupils contracted. The terror of this arrow had exceeded her expectations.
A resolute glint flashed in Liu Mengli's eyes, as bright and unwavering as a cold star. As her robes fluttered, the long sword in her hand shone brightly, and countless stars converged from all directions. The sound of the sword resounded through the sky, vast and mighty, with starlight flowing around.
The next moment, she lightly swung her jade arm, and the long sword, carrying an overwhelming momentum and flashing with Yaoyang Sword-Ray, slashed down as if it would split the heavens and the earth and shatter the galaxy, terrifying beyond belief!
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted, like a bolt from the blue. Terrifying shockwaves spread wildly in all directions in visible ripples, shattering mountains and tearing the ground apart, causing it to shake violently as if it were the end of the world.
" Vice Dean Liu, will everything be alright?" Qin Zixuan had never seen anything like this before. The color drained from her face, her lips turned deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly.
At that moment, a slender yet strong arm tightly embraced Qin Zixuan Qin Zixuan. Pressed against a firm chest, the powerful heartbeat, penetrating her clothes, reached her ears, inexplicably calming her flustered heart slightly.
Qin Zixuan looked up and saw an incredibly handsome face gazing at her tenderly, saying softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Those few simple words seemed to possess a magical power, dispelling the fear and gloom in Qin Zixuan's heart and gradually relaxing her tense body.
"Mmm!" Qin Zixuan responded, her voice soft and melodious, with a hint of barely perceptible shyness. Her body involuntarily leaned closer to Su Chen's embrace, as if hiding in his arms would shield her from all the dangers of the world.
At the same time, Liu Mengli's expression changed drastically. She was blasted away by the residual force, flying in an arc through the air. She coughed up blood, her body severely injured, her face pale, her brows furrowed, and she was in pain.
That sword strike was hastily unleashed, only displaying about 70-80% of its power. Furthermore, she was only at the Early-stage Immortal Emperor, while Qingxuan was at the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor, a huge difference in strength. The fact that she managed to block that arrow was already quite remarkable.
"She's still alive!" Qingxuan's expression darkened as he stared at Liu Mengli in the distance, his killing intent growing even stronger.
Liu Mengli gradually recovered from the pain, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and a cold smile appeared on her pale face as she mocked, "After all these years, you're still as weak as ever."
Upon hearing this, Qingxuan's face immediately darkened, and he was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but in the end, he held back.
"Hmph, how many of my arrows can you possibly block?" Qingxuan said disdainfully, drawing his bow again. Immortal Qi surged forth from his hand, and dozens of blue rays shot out. This time, he fired a full fifteen arrows formed from Immortal Qi.
The arrows echoed each other, gradually approaching and merging, finally coalescing into a single arrow even more terrifying than before, shimmering with brilliant blue light and filled with runes, aimed directly at Liu Mengli.
At this moment, Liu Mengli was seriously injured. The previous sword strike had used all her strength, and she was now powerless to resist. Even so, she was not afraid at all, and there was not a trace of fear in her eyes.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She clutched her chest, her hair flowing, her figure graceful. Her gaze was fixed on the arrow hurtling towards her, and her fists clenched unconsciously.
Qingxuan frowned, noticing something amiss. Logically, Liu Mengli should have appeared extremely terrified, but she was unusually calm. Could it be that she had some other tricks up her sleeve?
Qingxuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at Liu Mengli. He couldn't believe that Liu Mengli could block that arrow. After all, he had used almost ninety percent of his strength to shoot it. How could Liu Mengli possibly withstand it in her current state?
Just as the arrow was about to hit, Liu Mengli remained motionless, as if waiting for death. But at this critical moment, a white figure quietly appeared in front of her.
This person was tall and slender, with a handsome and elegant appearance, a high nose bridge, a calm expression, and an unparalleled demeanor. He exuded a composed and unhurried aura, as if he had stepped out of a painting.
And this figure in white was none other than Su Chen.
Looking at Su Chen, Liu Mengli let out a long sigh of relief. Her tightly clenched fist slowly loosened, and if you looked closely, you could see that her forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
"He's asking for death." Qingxuan sneered repeatedly. He felt nothing but disdain for the suddenly appearing Su Chen, thinking him to be an arrogant brat who didn't know his own limitations. Trying to save someone from him was simply a pipe dream!
Su Chen remained calm and composed. With a slight lift of his slender fingers, he extended his index finger, which shimmered with a warm and mysterious light.
The arrow, imbued with terrifying power and carrying overwhelming force, arrived in an instant. However, the next moment, a strange scene unfolded. The once-raging arrow seemed to sink into an endless quagmire, its speed suddenly decreasing, and the power within it rapidly disintegrated like ice and snow.
Su Chen remained calm as still water, his left hand behind his back, his right index finger, seemingly delicate, steadily holding the arrow in place. His silver hair flew wildly, his white clothes fluttered in the wind, yet he remained completely still.
Click!
The arrow cracked open, then turned into specks of light and dissipated into the world.
Liu Mengli's throat bobbed, her expression one of utter shock. The Dean's strength was truly beyond the norm.
In the distance, Qingxuan stood frozen in place, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit several eggs, his gaze fixed on Su Chen, his mind replaying the unbelievable scene that had just unfolded.
This man actually blocked an arrow that contained ninety percent of his power with just one finger!
Holy crap!
Qingxuan was a little dazed and couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He really wanted to ask how this was done. Even Late-stage Immortal Emperor wouldn't dare to use a single finger to catch that arrow, right?
Who exactly is this person?!
Qingxuan looked at Su Chen, his face no longer showing any contempt, but only solemnity and deep apprehension. He knew that this mysterious man who had suddenly appeared was no ordinary person, and might even be a Peak Immortal Emperor!
How could Liu Mengli know such a being?
Qingxuan's expression shifted between light and dark. If this person was truly at the Peak Immortal Emperor, he was no match for him and had no choice but to flee. Without further hesitation, he turned to run away.
Where do you want to go?
However, just as he turned around, a calm voice suddenly rang out. Qingxuan trembled violently, and before he could react, a terrifying force that defied his understanding instantly enveloped him, rendering him unable to move...
