Chapter 136: The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow Slays the Peacock
Chapter 136: The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow Slays the Peacock
The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow is a divine artifact capable of posing a lethal threat to Core Condensation Demon Lords.
All the demon hunters in Qingzhou have been busy gathering information, and according to their sources, there are only seventeen Core Condensation Demon Lords in the area.
In other words, in the vicinity of Qingzhou, the only demon beast capable of withstanding an arrow from this bow is the Moonshriek Demon King. Even if they could withstand the impact, there would be only a handful of them left alive.
Of course, this is assuming the bow is drawn to its full potential.
With Yan Xingkong's cultivation, he could manage to draw the bow like a crescent moon, but it would be a life-threatening act. Even so, it was enough to make everyone present turn pale.
The next moment, along with the bowstring's twang, a white light transformed into a long rainbow across the sky!
"Get out of the way!!"
Almost instantly upon the sound of the bowstring, the old man suddenly extended two enormous wings, flapped them vigorously, and vanished from his original spot.
Hone Jing and the elder lady also made the same movement, and Xiao Qianwei's figure darted out swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, with the wooden house at the center, everything within a thirty-zhang radius turned to dust as the white light descended!
Boom—
The entire ground collapsed and caved in, and dust rose like raging dragons, while countless rocks tumbled down from all sides.
The three figures dancing in mid-air dared not stop, swiftly circling, their hearts still pounding as they stared at the spot where they had just been standing. Then, they glared fiercely at the distant cliff peak.
"Yan Xingkong!!"
The bloodied and disheveled man stared back, his eyes devoid of any sparkle.
He had thought of every possible solution and made all the preparations he could.
But he never expected that a single arrow, fired after exhausting all his energy, would miss its target.
The draw was too slow, too slow!
Yan Xingkong collapsed powerlessly to his knees, the longbow falling beside him.
The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow retained its brilliance, but he no longer had the strength to draw it a second time.
"..."
Xiao Qianwei stood up clumsily, wiping the dust from her face. She raised her head and looked at the figure with a hint of speechlessness.
"I really want to slap him twice!" Chunyangzi spat out in frustration. Could he not be more reliable? After crouching here for so long, was he just planning to tear down the house?
"This dog, why couldn't he just be straightforward and instead had to deceive us into coming here," Jingqing Daoist panted. Now that things had come to this, it wasn't hard to guess the other party's intentions. All this fuss was just to find someone to help him deal with the demons.
If that arrow had hit its target, it might have severely wounded the oldest demon. Today, there might have been a chance.
"Everyone..."
Yan Xingkong's eyes dimmed as he wanted to say something, but his heart felt as heavy as lead.
He stared at the few people below, wanting to clench his fist, but he realized his palm had already split open, and his limp hand hung limply by his side.
Just then, Yan Xingkong noticed a change in the gazes of the few people looking at him, especially Xiao Qianwei, whose eyes had lit up with a sparkle.
Soon, the sound of steady footsteps reached his ears, and a pair of clean boots slowly passed through his line of sight.
The loose black robe was gently caressed by the mountain breeze, and the handsome youth bent down to pick up the longbow.
"..."
Shen Yi felt the power contained within the Celestial Sunbreaker Bow as he looked down at the few people.
He truly hadn't expected these few people to be so brave.
The two Taoist priests were one thing, but even the woman hadn't planned to wait for him.
Earlier, when he had fought with Yan Xingkong, he had delayed for a moment. By the time he reached the stone wall, he noticed something unusual.
However, as he didn't see the figures of the others, he felt a bit apprehensive about this unfamiliar object and didn't want to rush in. Instead, he wanted to listen to the explanations of the senior cultivators.
After waiting for a while without seeing anyone and with the messages from the Silver Bell being blocked by some kind of barrier, he decided to enter and take a look when he felt some movement coming from within the stone wall.
Under Shen Yi's gaze, the two Taoists felt slightly embarrassed. They hadn't considered this young Master Shen as part of their support, so they didn't think much of it when they entered. They had forgotten that this matter was entirely under his responsibility... But in this critical moment, they shouldn't be nitpicking about rules; it's better to focus on finding a way to survive first.
Xiao Qiangwei finally realized that she might have made a mistake. Her heart raced, and unease filled her eyes. Back in Tingyang City, she had respectfully addressed him as 'Senior,' but now, under his intense stare, she suddenly recalled the feeling of being caught making a mistake by her superior.
A sudden figure caught the attention of the three demonic beasts.
Suspended in mid-air, they carefully scrutinized the newcomer. Based on the reactions of the others, this person, despite appearing young, seemed to possess an air of leadership.
After a moment, Kong Jing seemed to dislike someone overshadowing him. With a flap of his wings, he cackled, "Old man, leave this kid to me!"
As his words echoed, he abruptly flew towards Shen Yi.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Yi raised his longbow, his movements slightly awkward. Then, he casually pulled the bowstring.
Yan Xingkong stared, his eyes widening in shock.
The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow, which had almost taken his life moments ago, now silently transformed into a crescent moon shape! A dazzling white light converged on the bowstring.
The two Taoists stood in awe, their mouths agape, while Xiao Qiangwei's face lit up with joy.
Kong Jing, in mid-air, abruptly halted and changed direction, his eyes filled with panic. "Father!"
Shen Yi seemed to have a deeper understanding of the treasure in his hands. Infusing it with the power of the Immortal Demon Nine Transformations, he pulled the bowstring open by seven-tenths in the next instant!
Witnessing this, the old man didn't hesitate for even half a second. He instantly revealed his true form, a towering Azure-Blue Peacock with a wingspan that blotted out the sky. Its massive wings crossed in front of its body, shielding it protectively.
The peacock demon was intimidated even before the battle began!
Shen Yi felt he had reached his limit and stopped trying. He loosened his fingers.
The white light arrow, more majestic than before, illuminated a third of the entire Secluded Valley. The sound of it tearing through the air seemed to rip at everyone's eardrums. The arrow's might gave the impression that it could pierce through the heavens!
A sharp hissing sound filled the air.
"Brother!" The old woman's expression was filled with terror. Instinctively, she summoned her crimson feathers, but her face suddenly paled. It wasn't due to emotional turmoil but from the radiant light that swept across the sky and illuminated her directly.
She couldn't understand why they should deal with the strongest first or eliminate the weakest first.
Regardless... it shouldn't have been her...
When the white light struck her, the peacock's true form, slightly smaller than the old man, was forced to reveal itself. The robust demonic body appeared frail and feeble under the arrow's might.
Amidst the deafening roar, the peacock demon, without any resistance, was slammed against the cliff wall!
Blood splattered like raindrops, and its slender neck drooped limply. A gaping hole, several zhang wide, appeared in the heart area of its body.
With just one arrow, the Core Formation demon beast was slain!
The peacock, in its true form, spread its wings again, gazing at the scene before it, its entire body trembling.
It suddenly looked towards the peak, letting out a piercing and furious screech. The howl, carried by the wind, swept across the entire valley.
At the cliff's peak, the youth's black robe fluttered, his hair dancing in the wind, while his body remained upright.
He seemed to find the commotion a bit annoying.
Slowly, he aimed his longbow and then raised his eyebrows slightly.
"..." The massive peacock suddenly fell silent, flapping its wings in a state of panic.
