Chapter 427 - 426: Arrow
Gazing at Qin Ya, whose aura was that of a Killing God, the Blood Nether Association Killers felt a chill run down their spines. Then, with a WHOOSH, they shot forward one by one. In an instant, flashes of blades, Sword Shadows, Fist Force, and Palm Wind carrying all sorts of energies swept out. But Qin Ya, their target, merely curled his lip in a cold smile.
With a thunderous BOOM, the various Energy Shocks slammed into the ground. The powerful aftershocks swept through the surroundings, toppling trees, shattering rocks, and kicking up a cloud of dust. The many Blood Nether Association Killers used Sky-Controlling to surround the area from all directions. Staring at the center of the dust cloud with grim expressions, they refused to believe that Qin Ya would die so easily.
Suddenly, wisps of Thunder crackled in the empty air. The killers immediately sensed something was wrong. Just as they were about to retreat, the Thunder abruptly gathered, forming thousands of Thunder Spears in the sky above them that rained down like a torrential storm!
"Dodge!"
"Get out of the way! We can’t block it head-on!"
As fast as thunder itself, the spears arrived in an instant. Amidst the explosions, agonizing screams echoed endlessly. An unknown number of killers, unable to dodge in time, were pierced through.
With a deafening roar, the entire landscape was blasted with massive craters.
Waves of intense heat filled the air.
In a single blow, the Blood Nether Association had suffered dozens of casualties.
As the dust settled, Qin Ya took a single step forward, but in the next moment, his figure moved like a Ghostly Charm, darting into the crowd. With his long spear in hand, no one could withstand its edge!
SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!...
Blood sprayed, blooming like brilliant, magnificent red flowers.
"He’s too fast! I can’t track his movements!"
"Dammit! With speed like that, it’s a shame he’s not an assassin."
"Quick, activate the Blood Evil Array!"
Just as Qin Ya was swinging his long spear, killing wantonly and reaping lives, a dark, blood-red light suddenly erupted, covering the battlefield for a thousand zhang in every direction.
"Hm? This light..."
Qin Ya’s brow furrowed slightly. He felt the True Essence in his body begin to boil like scalding water, constantly evaporating. This light actually had the effect of burning away True Essence. In contrast to Qin Ya, the moment the Blood Nether Association Killers came into contact with the bloody light, they trembled as their auras suddenly exploded with power!
"Kill!"
"Inside the Blood Evil Array, we’ll definitely kill him here!"
Seeing this, Qin Ya snorted coldly. Ignoring his burning True Essence, he forcefully circulated it at full power, drawing upon the endless Primordial Qi. A silver-white light bloomed as he condensed his Dharma Aspect!
The eighteen-zhang Dharma Aspect appeared, and Qin Ya’s speed increased once more. In an instant, countless splatters of blood flew through the air. In Qin Ya’s hands, these killers were utterly powerless to resist!
It made sense. Qin Ya’s current Cultivation was at the Celestial Human realm, but he was an exceptionally strong Celestial Human whose True Essence reserves and intensity surpassed an ordinary Celestial Human’s by more than ten times!
Combined with his mastery of the three Mysteries—Fast, Four Symbols, and Destruction—when he unleashed his full combat power, he was practically invincible below the King realm. To say nothing of these killers whose Cultivation was at the Celestial Human realm at most. Before him, they were no different from ants!
The slaughter continued! Qin Ya showed no signs of fatigue. Even while inside the Blood Evil Array that constantly burned his True Essence, he was completely unfazed. To him, this Blood Evil Array was practically useless. Although he couldn’t stop the accelerated consumption of his True Essence, his reserves were more than ten times that of a normal Celestial Human. So what if it was being consumed quickly? What could it possibly do to him?
Besides, he had a whole pile of Elixirs to restore True Essence in his Storage Ring!
"Dammit, how can his True Essence reserves be so vast?!"
"An ordinary Celestial Human wouldn’t even last fifteen minutes in the Blood Evil Array! This Qin Ya has been fighting for nearly forty-five minutes, so why is he completely fine?!"
"Hmph! I don’t believe he really has that much True Essence!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Meanwhile, atop a high peak a thousand zhang away, several figures stood coldly, their sharp and profound gazes locked firmly on the battle!
"This Qin Ya’s combat power is truly extraordinary!"
"The effect of the Blood Evil Array is almost negligible."
"It’s hard to imagine how someone his age could possess such combat power."
"Gongyun, it’s your turn."
At this, a man in simple cloth robes with a Blood Bow on his back stepped forward. His sharp, hawk-like eyes locked tightly onto Qin Ya’s figure.
In his eyes, Qin Ya’s ghostly fast figure seemed to slow down countless times over. Although it was still blurry, for him, it was enough.
He took the Blood-Colored Longbow from his back and drew a blood-red arrow.
The arrow was blood-red from tip to fletching, its shaft covered in mysterious Runes. It emanated waves of a sinister, cold aura. Faintly, from the arrowhead especially, one could hear what sounded like the wails of resentful souls.
He drew his bow and nocked the arrow—all in one fluid motion!
Then, the middle-aged man’s entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit seemed to condense into an indescribable power, gathering upon the bow and arrow until they became one. In that instant, the wind forgot to blow, and the clouds stilled, daring not to move. A murderous aura permeated the air!
WHOOSH! The man released his fingers. The blood-red arrow streaked across the void like a bolt of crimson lightning, tearing through heaven and earth. As if carrying the wails of a thousand souls, it shot toward Qin Ya. In the midst of battle, Qin Ya seemed to sense it and his body shuddered!
’Danger! I have to dodge!’
An instinct honed through countless battles screamed at Qin Ya. He immediately retreated to the side, simultaneously taking out several Defensive Pseudo-Spiritual Artifacts to form a series of shields in front of him. In that same instant, the blood-red arrow was upon him!
The first and second shields were pierced simultaneously. The arrow then struck the third shield, which was also shattered in a flash. By now, the arrow’s power had been reduced by more than half, but its might was still terrifying. It struck *Scenic Landscapes*, knocking Qin Ya’s body back hundreds of zhang and sending him crashing violently into a mountain peak!
"What was that just now?"
"A blood-red Flowing Light. It looked like an arrow."
"Heavens, someone actually managed to hit that monster with an arrow."
In the distance, the middle-aged archer watched as Qin Ya was shot into the mountain peak. His pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of horror appeared on his face as he said bitterly, "I failed!"
Hearing this, the others were aghast!
They all knew how profound the archer’s understanding of the Way of the Bow was. Even they wouldn’t dare say they could survive that arrow!
"As expected!"
At that moment, a hoarse voice spoke. It was the leader of the group, Linn!
He stated indifferently, "If he could be taken down that easily, Qiann Feng wouldn’t have fallen to him. The Blood Nether Association’s strongholds wouldn’t have been hit one after another these past few days, suffering such heavy losses. This person cannot be measured by common sense."
In the distance, a huge crater had been blasted into a mountain peak. Inside the crater, Qin Ya held the blood-red arrow, a peculiar glint in his eyes.
’What a fast, accurate, and powerful arrow.’
’To think it could hit me while I was moving at extreme speed... A little interesting.’
Qin Ya’s True Essence surged, flowing toward the arrow in his hand and instantly destroying it.
Then, he took out a Ghost Face Mask and put it on. His figure instantly vanished. ’Since the enemy has this kind of long-range attack, I can’t expose myself so easily anymore.’ After cloaking himself in Space, he moved, once again throwing himself into the battlefield. This time, the invisible slaughter terrified everyone!
"Dammit, where is he?"
"I can’t find him! Not even with Divine Thought!"
"He actually has another trick like this up his sleeve!"
