Chapter 322: Chapter 133 Blade Gang Shatters Heavy Armor! Chasing Soul Arrow!_2
“Damnit!”
Hong Zhenxiang was also somewhat taken aback before he bellowed in anger. Without dodging any longer, he lifted his fan-sized palm, radiating with blood light, a qi and blood so robust it even surpassed Jin Buhuan and Wei Chiao by a large margin, and swatted at the incoming arrowhead.
“Boom!”
The arrowhead and palm collided, instantly bursting apart. The arrow seemed to contain a spiraling qi strength capable of penetrating thick steel armor. It clashed against Hong Zhenxiang’s immense force; the air exploded, sending ripples of air currents that bent the surrounding flowers and trees.
A broken, distorted metal arrow fell to the ground, while Hong Zhenxiang’s palm remained completely unscathed.
“Chasing Soul Arrow! How dare you show yourself before me, don’t even think about escaping!”
When Hong Zhenxiang saw the arrow on the ground, as well as the one that had turned in flight, he instantly recognized the identity of the person who wanted to assassinate him. He turned his head, let out a long howl, and with his burly body took a step forward. The trees he crashed into snapped like straw as he charged directly towards the direction from which the arrow had come!
The Chasing Soul Arrow, too, was a top expert among the rebels, skilled in archery. His archery was transcendental, able to lock onto the enemy’s qi, and even if the enemy’s movement was agile and speed incredibly fast, the arrow could turn corners and track like it was chasing souls, hence it was named the Chasing Soul Arrow.
Today, the Dafeng Iron Cavalry had encircled and attacked the rebel forces led by Wei Chiao, but there were other rebel experts who came to their aid!
Although Hong Zhenxiang wanted to capture Su Changkong and Chai Zheng, with the Chasing Soul Arrow hidden in the distance, he had to deal with him first. Otherwise, allowing the opponent to continuously shoot arrows capable of tracking the enemy’s qi from afar posed a tremendous threat.
Therefore, Hong Zhenxiang decided promptly, immediately abandoning Su Changkong and Chai Zheng! This Chasing Soul Arrow was also a big fish that weighed a lot!
“Whiz whiz whiz!”
In the air, arrows continued to shoot relentlessly, each one falling like a meteor, coming from above, or from the sides, tracing arcs, locking onto the qi, hard to dodge.
Hong Zhenxiang did not dodge either. He charged forward like a massive elephant, constantly slapping his hands together, using his flesh palms to swat away every arrow like throwing them aside, fixating on the Chasing Soul Arrow shooting from the shadows. He ran wildly towards where the arrows came from, believing that if he could catch up with the Chasing Soul Arrow and fight him at close range, he would tear him to pieces!
“What exquisite archery! The person shooting the arrows is as skilled as I am!”
Su Changkong was also shocked by this scene. A master in archery, suspected to be from the rebels, was targeting Hong Zhenxiang from afar, making an assassination attempt. And Hong Zhenxiang was so ferocious that with a pair of flesh palms, he swatted away those arrows that could pierce through heavy armors.
“It’s Sect Leader Xiao! He’s come to rescue me!”
Chai Zheng, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He knew that the Chasing Soul Arrow was their own expert, forcing Hong Zhenxiang to deal with him first and pulling him away, creating a chance for him to escape.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Zhenxiang had disappeared into the wilderness after the Chasing Soul Arrow.
And Chai Zheng knew this was the best opportunity to escape, but Su Changkong’s figure flashed and was already blocking Chai Zheng’s way.
Chai Zheng was startled, then erupted in anger, “Kid, have you gone mad? While Hong Zhenxiang is drawn away, we should take the chance to leave!”
But Su Changkong coldly said, “Killing you before leaving isn’t too late!”
The best course of action would certainly be to take the opportunity to leave, but Su Changkong harboured intense killing intent towards Chai Zheng in his heart. It was bad enough that Chai Zheng had exposed his identity, and such a situation had arisen because of him.
Chai Zheng wanted to give face to Wei Chiao by ‘selling’ him to the rebels to forge weapons, which was like pushing him into a pit of fire!
If Su Changkong failed to forge the Monster Wailing Blade, it was imaginable that his fate would be a dead end, being furiously chopped down by Wei Chiao and the others. The only reason Wei Chiao and others did not get violent was because they valued his forging skills that could create Monster Soldiers.
And now, letting Chai Zheng escape would mean he would surely hide. Killing him later would be difficult!
If he didn’t kill Chai Zheng, Su Changkong would always feel displeased. It was a perfect opportunity to test his own Blade Gang!
“If you seek death, I’ll grant it to you!”
Killing intent surfaced on Chai Zheng’s face, knowing that the Chasing Soul Arrow couldn’t distract Hong Zhenxiang for long, and Hong Zhenxiang might return at any moment. He had to leave quickly, and if this kid dared to stop him, he would slaughter him!
Without any hesitation, Chai Zheng immediately sprung into action. He vigorously activated the qi and blood within his body, aiming to kill Su Changkong as quickly as possible and then leave.
“Roar!”
Amidst a sky-shaking Dragon Roar, Chai Zheng’s qi and blood exploded, revealing an extraordinary sight. A colossal blood-colored dragon appeared overhead, coiled into a circle, with the phantom of a furnace vaguely entwined around it, radiating intense heat!
As the Deputy Commander of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s Forest Frag Camp, Chai Zheng was naturally very powerful. He had assaulted the Qi-Blood Furnace level twice already, and although he had failed both times, as his body gradually recovered, his qi and blood had grown, only one step away from stepping into the level of the Qi-Blood Furnace.
In terms of strength, he was even a notch above the scion of a noble family, Mu Jin.
“Grand Yue Divine Palm!”
Chai Zheng aimed for a quick resolution and, using all his strength from the outset, his figure flashed, swiftly closing in on Su Changkong. His right palm, heavy as a mountain, lashed out, compressing the air until it exploded, the scorching airwave rushing towards him making it hard to even breathe.
