Chapter 332: Chapter 136: Wind-Thunder Arrow and Chasing Soul Arrow! When the Arrow Flies, Stars Fall!_1
Hong Zhenxiang was too lazy to say more and took action directly.
“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Ding Qiu let out an angry roar, his chilly aura becoming more concentrated, with a cold and corrosive palm force condensing in his hand, capable of eroding sinews and flesh and extremely poisonous.
“Bang!”
Their fists and palms collided, and a brute force of Divine Power blasted Ding Qiu away in flight, smashing a tent behind him into pieces.
The cold palm force tried to erode Hong Zhenxiang’s flesh as soon as it penetrated his arm, but it was instantly dissipated by a surge of powerful Qi and Blood.
It was nearly an instant defeat!
To Ding Qiu, facing Hong Zhenxiang was like a child facing an adult, a visible gap.
“Lord Ding!”
The other experts who had come with him couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. Ding Qiu was a Sect Leader-level figure of the Black Lotus Sect in Dafeng State City, and he had been sent flying in disarray in a single encounter?
“Damn it… Has Hong Zhenxiang reached the peak of the Qi Blood Twelve Transformation? He suppressed me with a single strike?”
Ding Qiu crashed into a tent, and although he wasn’t seriously injured, he was shocked. Logically, being at the same tier, even if there was a gap, it shouldn’t be this huge.
“Gulp!”
Ding Qiu didn’t dare to hesitate. A porcelain bottle slipped out from his sleeve, he popped the stopper with one hand, and swallowed the pill medicine inside, then ran his Qi and Blood at full strength.
“Rumble!”
His Qi and Blood erupted like flames, converging above Ding Qiu’s head into a hot Qi-Blood Furnace, with fierce flames surging within. The effect of the pill tinted the flames a touch of dark black, creating an aura both profound and powerful!
As a Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect sub-branch, Ding Qiu’s strength was indeed extraordinary. He had stepped into the Level of the Qi-Blood Furnace, and after consuming a pill that seemed to temporarily enhance his burst of Qi and Blood, his might was even more terrifying.
“Hong Zhenxiang! Prepare to die!”
Ding Qiu stood up straight, his skin bulging with taut muscles, his face turned a ghastly blue-black color, hideous and terrifying. He let out a thunderous shout that echoed through the forest, then lunged forward, attacking Hong Zhenxiang directly.
Facing the formidable threat of Hong Zhenxiang, Ding Qiu didn’t dare to be negligent. He consumed a pill that overstretched his potential, prepared to contest with Hong Zhenxiang!
Between Ding Qiu’s palms, vicious energy coiled like two poison dragons, and the chilling aura emitted was so intense that it frosted the nearby ground, his palms seemingly piercing clouds and splitting fog!
“Boom!”
Hong Zhenxiang still met the attack with his bare fists. The collision of fist and palm resulted in an explosive shock of Qi strength, and the resulting gale blasted sand and rocks in all directions, forcing the surrounding mutineers to keep their distance from within a ten-yard radius.
“Kill!”
Ding Qiu’s forehead bulged with veins as he launched repeated assaults, his Qi-Blood Furnace trembled, and hot flames leapt up. In his current state, he could not last long and had to exert all his might to crush Hong Zhenxiang.
For a moment, Ding Qiu fought Hong Zhenxiang on equal footing, but anyone could see that Ding Qiu was giving his all, while Hong Zhenxiang seemed to do so with ease, warding off each move as it came.
“With Commander Hong’s strength, he will have no problem dealing with Ding Qiu. Let’s deal with the others!”
One of the men in blue in the vanguard of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry shouted loudly.
Hong Zhenxiang, as the strongest of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, was considered invincible in the Qi-Blood Realm and had not suffered a single defeat. Although Ding Qiu had notable strength and even took a pill to overdraw his potential to enhance his fighting capacity, it was only a matter of time before he fell before Hong Zhenxiang.
Their mission as the vanguard was to kill the enemy’s experts, weaken the morale of the enemy, and plunge them into chaos. Then the main force of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry would follow up, sweeping and wiping out the two or three thousand mutineers clean!
“Kill! Kill them all!”
In the mutineers’ ranks, higher-ups shouted angrily, a large number of experts besieging the rest of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry’s experts, creating chaotic combat where one fought many, something Qi-Blood Realm powerhouses could accomplish in the short term. They only needed to hold on until the main force arrived to consider their mission accomplished.
“Eliminate these mutineers!”
A burly man wielding a Combat Blade, swinging it and chopping off several mutineers’ heads, roared with exhilaration and let out a long howl.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the burly man’s pupils constricted as he felt a chilling and bone-piercing sensation on his back. Sensing danger, he quickly dived to the side.
“Whoosh!”
This agile dodge saved his life, but the burly man still couldn’t fully evade the attack. His shoulder erupted in blood as a fist-sized hole was torn open by an arrow with a spiral head that passed through his body!
“Old Sun!”
The nearby Dafeng experts couldn’t help but exclaim.
Whoosh!
As the pain in his shoulder seared through him, causing a momentary numbness in his brain, he managed to turn around. He didn’t see the archer, but his pupils reflected a gleam of cold light as another arrow shot from the darkness in the distance, from a mile or two away!
“No… no good!” This arrow locked onto the burly man’s life-force, causing his heart to spasm. He felt that no matter how he tried to dodge, it was inevitable. To others, the arrow was beyond comprehension, signifying Archery that had reached a Transcendental level.
“Boom!”
As the burly man was about to be impaled by the arrow, a powerful fist came at an angle, striking and snapping the arrow, forcefully redirecting it to the side where it crashed to the ground.
“Commander Hong!”
The burly man let out a sigh of relief, the punch that saved his life having been thrown by Hong Zhenxiang.
“Hong Zhenxiang! You dare be distracted in a fight with me?”
