Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Slaying, Only the Arrow is Supreme

"See that? You’re done for! Every last person from the Demon Suppression Bureau is going to die tonight!" Luo Xu sneered triumphantly.

This Banner of the Demon Suppression Bureau was indeed a powerful fighter, so Luo Xu knew he had to attack him psychologically first.

"The Demon Suppression Bureau is nothing but the Court’s lapdogs, hounds raised by the Daqian Imperial Family! You’re all trash!" Dou Kun echoed.

The greatest enemy of those in the martial world was the Demon Suppression Bureau. Damn it all, they interfered with everything.

"Just you bunch of demons?" Chen Qiang scoffed dismissively as he gathered his aura once more, his imposing presence skyrocketing.

Yama’s Three Nods, Second Stance—Celestial Patrol Prison!

BOOM!

A terrifying might erupted. The saber light was dazzling, and the energy blades shone brightly. It was as if supreme heavenly wrath had descended, vast and righteous, sweeping away all wicked entities and crushing all resistance!

Luo Xu and Dou Kun’s expressions changed drastically as they retreated at the same time. But it was too late.

BANG!

Dou Kun was blasted flying. His chest injury could no longer be suppressed and fully erupted. Affected by the saber energy, it worsened significantly until his entire chest was mangled.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

Luo Xu didn’t fare much better. Several wounds appeared on his body, dripping with fresh blood.

Luo Xu wondered, "How is an ordinary Banner of the Demon Suppression Bureau this powerful?"

Chen Qiang gasped heavily for air, struggling to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to restore his power. Yama’s Three Nods was powerful, but the toll it took was far too massive. If it hadn’t been for the aid of his Upper Grade Profound Weapon, he might not have been able to execute it at all. He really might perish tonight! However, he needed to end this battle quickly!

"Double Blade Flying Dragon Slash!"

Using himself as the axis and his twin sabers as wings, Lu Yuan instantly sprang into action. He spun like a flood dragon, transforming his blades into a slicing tornado as he charged at Luo Rui.

Luo Rui was taken aback but did his best to block the attack.

SLICE SLICE SLICE!

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

However, defending with a single sword was already a disadvantage. On top of that, having two needles embedded in his body hindered his Gang Qi, disrupting its flow. Thus, he couldn’t defend against it at all.

SLASH SLASH SLASH!

Wounds began to appear one after another, growing in number. In the blink of an eye, half of Luo Rui’s body was slashed over a dozen times. Each cut was more than half a foot long, so deep that bone and even his abdominal organs were visible.

"You..." Luo Rui was enraged. Disregarding the Golden Needle inside his body, he unleashed his aura with full force. "I want you dead!"

SWISH!

Lu Yuan decisively retreated, stepping back rapidly. Then, he suddenly threw away his twin sabers and reached for his waist with both hands.

THWIP THWIP THWIP!

THWIP THWIP THWIP!

In the blink of an eye, Golden Needles, Silver Needles, Steel Needles, and even diamond-shaped throwing darts were all hurled out.

Luo Rui had never expected this and was caught entirely off guard.

THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK!

In an instant, Luo Rui was riddled with holes like a sieve. The Golden Needles broke through Gang Qi, the Silver Needles sealed acupoints, and the darts inflicted destructive, lethal damage. The Steel Needles were merely an added bonus.

Luo Rui stood frozen in place, unable to move anything but his eyeballs.

"You... You..."

"Sorry, but you should be the one to die." Lu Yuan picked up a saber, walked over, and decapitated him with a single stroke, killing him thoroughly.

"Phew." Lu Yuan sighed. "A High Tier Eighth Grade is indeed tough to deal with."

If he hadn’t known so many techniques and made ample preparations, it really would have been a hard fight, and he might have been the one falling tonight. Fortunately, he had thought a few steps ahead.

SWISH SWISH!

Lu Yuan then quickly cleaned up the battlefield. He retrieved all three types of needles and the darts, wiping them clean in a hurry. After picking up his bow and arrows again, he cast his gaze toward the interior of the villa.

Inside the villa...

SWISH! SWISH!

At this time, Liu Zhi was running back and forth, fleeing all over the place to avoid the pursuit of a Cat Person behind him. If it weren’t for the firelight, it would have been truly difficult to spot him. It was a perilous situation, but his life was not in immediate danger for now.

On the other side.

BANG!

Jianng Hongfei was sent flying by a swipe from a Werewolf’s claws. Before he even landed...

BANG!

Jianng Hongfei was swatted away by the Werewolf’s claws once more with tremendous force. If it weren’t for his Gang Qi and Inner Armor protecting his body, he would likely be dead already. Even so, he was in terrible shape. His face was flushed red and turning slightly blue; he was nearing his absolute limit. He could suffer severe injuries or perish at any moment.

Elsewhere, Mu Lingche was still locked in a fierce battle with a Bear Person, the outcome yet to be determined. In the most chaotic area, Yu Qiuyang was being besieged by over a dozen Ninth Grade martial artists.

SWISH!

Lu Yuan drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

THWIP!

The arrow was fired, instantly piercing through the air.

The Werewolf possessed a keen sense of danger and instinctively tried to dodge. However, since it was in the middle of launching a full-force attack on Jianng Hongfei, its movements were hindered.

THWACK!

An arrow struck it squarely in the cheek. It wasn’t a vital spot, but the powerful impact shot straight to the back of its head.

THWACK!

A second arrow arrived, piercing right through its chest.

THWACK!

The third arrow aimed at its spine, penetrating and shattering it completely. Even if the Werewolf wasn’t dead, it was completely crippled.

Jianng Hongfei glanced rapidly toward the waist of the mountain, his heart filled with complicated emotions. He thought, "Lu Yuan! It’s actually him! He’s fine! And he saved me..."

The person he loathed had just saved his life. It was incredibly awkward. That feeling...

Lu Yuan’s intervention was immediately noticed by all the experts across the manor.

Chen Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wondered, "He’s fine? He managed to escape? The fact that he could help shoot the Werewolf means he temporarily shook off that High Tier Eighth Grade martial artist and found the time to provide support. How did he do it?"

Luo Xu and Dou Kun were utterly disbelieving. Luo Rui hadn’t finished the job and was temporarily shaken off? Was that archer a High Tier Eighth Grade martial artist with exceptional close-combat skills?

Luo Xu felt a surge of panic, suddenly overcome by a bad premonition. Luo Rui was his younger brother, born to the same mother. If something happened to him...

Dou Kun, on the other hand, was purely irritated. What a piece of trash! Failing to take him down was one thing, but he shouldn’t have given the archer the opportunity to draw his bow and shoot! Unless... he was already dead.

Yu Qiuyang thought in disbelief, "Lu Yuan is fine? How is that possible? I clearly saw a martial artist with a vigorous aura—likely a High Tier Eighth Grade—sneak over there. How could that person have failed to deal with him and even allowed him the time to shoot arrows? Is that High Tier Eighth Grade martial artist really that useless?"

Mu Lingche furrowed his brows. Lu Yuan had escaped danger and could now support this side? Meanwhile, he himself hadn’t even managed to slay a Bear Person yet...

BANG!

Mu Lingche gathered all his power and erupted once more. "Die!"

After crippling the Werewolf, Lu Yuan shifted his target to the Cat Person. The Cat Person was fast and agile, and possessed sharp Swordsmanship, posing a massive threat to Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi and his sister had just treated him to a meal the night before; he couldn’t let Liu Zhi get hurt here.

THWIP THWIP THWIP!

This time, Lu Yuan fired three arrows in rapid succession. It wasn’t Three-Star Linked Beads, but a triangular blockade. Having mastered Nine-Star Linked Beads, basic archery techniques like this were simple for him.

And sure enough...

The Cat Person sensed the danger and instinctively tried to dodge. However, what it faced was an Arrow Array.

THWACK! THWACK!

Two arrows hit their mark. One shot straight through, while the other pinned it to the ground.

THWIP!

The fourth arrow was fired.

THWACK!

It struck the Cat Person right in the head, ensuring certain death.

Now on the battlefield, only the Bear Person and the two Seventh-Grade Martial Artists were worth Lu Yuan taking action against. The Bear Person seemingly didn’t need his intervention at all, as it was already being suppressed by Mu Lingche. That left only the two Seventh-Grade experts, who were currently engaged in a fierce battle with Chen Qiang.

As for Lu Yuan, he had used twenty Metal Arrows and only had ten left.

"Then my target is the heavily injured one!"
