Chapter 0983: Single Arrow Slays the Devil!


When Li Luo drew the bow and transformed the Golden Holy Fire Talisman into a flaming arrow, he finally understood why the lantern bearer had said that he would experience untold amounts of pain.


The wantonly burning holy fire had spread from the bow in just a few breaths of time, enveloping Li Luo within a giant ball of fire.


The holy fire did not differentiate between friend and foe, so the flames brought him immense pain.


Li Luo"s face immediately twisted in agony as the hand holding the bowstring began to tremble.


If his heart was not resolute, he might have already thrown the bow away.


He sucked in a deep breath of scalding air as the golden holy fire continued to adhere to his body, sending waves of pervasive burning pain. "Nine Scales Sanctified Dragon"s Body, Thunderpeal Avatar!"


Li Luo activated his two body-strengthening arts without hesitation, which brought momentary relief from the flame.


"Oh?"


However, as the fire continued to burn, Li Luo was shocked to discover that the Fiend Dipper Energy in his body had increased! It was previously seven hundred feet long, but as the fire continued to refine his body, it had increased by another ten feet in just a short span of time.


"Was this the benefit that the lantern bearer said I would receive? The holy fire can refine my Fiend Dipper Energy?" Satisfaction welled up in his heart.


It seemed that being able to endure the pain was worth it.


As he was thinking about this, his gaze continued to stare unabated at the Soul Eater True Devil. All the power in his body surged up explosively at this critical moment. The bowstring was pulled so hard that it began to creak, the entire bow forming the shape of a full moon.


The arrow was engulfed in burnished flame like a dragon made of fire, releasing terrifying fluctuations of energy.


Li Luo"s palms were burned to the point that the skin had peeled off and was completely worn out. The increasingly turbulent flames continued to wildly burrow into his body.


At this moment, the black, demonic mist that covered the skies seemed to have felt something, and they began to gradually retract.


Roar!


The Soul Eater True Devil roared in response as it could feel that its life was in danger. It momentarily set aside the thought of devouring Li Lingjing, and the ma.s.sive mouth in the middle of the palm immediately spat out a ball of b.l.o.o.d.y light. Within it were countless faces stacked over each other like layers of skin.


In the end, it culminated with a huge, pale face with a twisted and strange expression. Blood poured from every orifice of the face as it floated before the True Devil like a bulwark made of skin. The only thing was that one could sense endless iciness and negative emotions emanating from its core.


Meanwhile, all of the gazes from the crowd were now focused upon the top of the hall where Li Luo stood, armed with his flaming bow that had been fully drawn.


They could see that the flames had completely engulfed him and were incinerating every inch of his body. They instinctively knew that the horrifying arrow was causing him extreme suffering.


Li Luo"s eyes were unwavering as he focused on the Soul Eater True Devil. His now charcoal-black fingertips released the bowstring without any hint of hesitation.


The frightening energy at his literal fingertips was released. As a result, the flesh on the fingers holding the bowstring burst apart, revealing the white bone beneath.


With that, the golden flame arrow penetrated through the void thunderously. The blazing light streaked through the air like a golden crow, burning the mist in its path into nothingness.


The arrow flew by so quickly that even Qin Ying was unable to perceive its movement completely, only seeing the trail of light left in its wake.


When he came to his senses, the golden flame arrow had already struck the face made of human skin. It was like a fire dragon bearing its claws and striking anything that dared impugn upon its majesty.


Roar!


In a blink, a fiery tornado that was reminiscent of the sun ignited the skies.


The human-skin face let out shrill cries as it was swiftly incinerated. The arrow instantly pierced a hole through it, shooting right at the Soul Eater True Devil.


The Soul Eater True Devil continued to scream. Its giant hand swatted outwards, forming countless black shadows that attempted to block the unimpeded advance of the arrow.


However, the flowing flaming arrow possessed irresistible force, easily tearing through all of the Soul Eater True Devil"s defenses. Before everyone"s surprised eyes, it shot right into its body.


Bang!


A moment later, golden flames erupted from the body of the Soul Eater True Devil like a volcano. The flames leaked from every single hole on its body, swiftly causing it to melt.


Shrill wails continued to echo out endlessly.


A few moments later, the Soul Eater True Devil"s entire body was completely disintegrated by the golden flames.


Everyone stared at the result blankly. Was this how the terrifying Soul Eater True Devil would meet its end? It almost seemed a little uneventful.


Li Luo"s single arrow was terrifying beyond comparison! With the Soul Eater True Devil being burnt to ashes, the remnant mist began to swiftly vanish and the corrupted individuals began to thrash around, seemingly having lost control.


The chaotic scene was like a ray of hope for the crowd, representing a new opportunity at life.


Everyone burst into unrequited cheers. No one had expected the situation to change when they were stuck in the pits of despair.


As the group celebrated, Li Luo, who was still atop the hall, weakly set his arms down. He was in a miserable state, his entire body charred black after suffering from the effects of the golden flames.


The insides of his body were such a mess that his resonant power could barely circulate.


As a result, he staggered forward before plummeting from the top.


However, a slender figure had shot over right before he landed, embracing him and landing stably on the ground.


Li Luo glanced at the pale Li Lingjing and flashed a weak smile. "Cousin Lingjing, are you alright?"


Li Lingjing"s body was also full of bloodstains, and she too seemed to be in a bad state. However, a radiant smile emerged on her beautiful face.


"I"m fine," she replied with a nod.


"You shouldn"t have come back," she continued.


Li Luo sighed weakly. "Abandoning a comrade is not something I"ll ever do."


Li Lingjing fell silent as she stretched out her slender arm, wiping off the ash on his face. She chuckled as she looked at the sorry man before her, whose handsomeness didn"t seem to have diminished. "Alright, I guess I have to thank you. You can rest for now."


He was definitely in a worse state than her.


Li Luo nodded and then closed his eyes, quickly circulating his resonant power to restore the mess within his body.


At this point in time, not too far away, Qin Yi and Qin Ying approached, their gazes focused upon the heavily injured and weakened Li Luo.


"Haha, Fairy Qin, I don"t suppose you are planning to do anything to Li Luo, are you?" At this point in time, a well-built but chubby figure flashed over, blocking them from moving any closer.


It was Zhu Dayu.


He stared at Qin Yi with some apprehension as he was well aware of the enmity between the two. Now that Li Luo and Li Lingjing were critically injured, it was the perfect opportunity to take revenge.


They may have joined hands previously, but it was only to deal with a superior foe. Now that their common enemy had been dispatched, things would go back to the previous status quo.


Qin Ying glared at Zhu Dayu. "What does this have to do with you?"


"Hey! Qin Ying! Has your conscience been eaten by beasts? Li Luo took the initiative to save you and yet you want to strike him when he is down? You"re definitely not human." Zhu Zhu then appeared beside Zhu Dayu, smiling coldly.


The remaining individuals nodded in agreement.


Qin Yi softly replied, "The two of you have misunderstood. I noticed that Li Luo"s injuries were not light and wanted to render him some aid."


Zhu Dayu smiled. "Fairy Qin, you are benevolent. I suppose us brutes have misunderstood your intentions. However, for the sake of preventing any trouble, I think we should leave it as it is."


"You!" Qin Ying fumed.


Qin Yi fell silent, but she did not show any signs of anger. She knew that Zhu Dayu was on guard against her and thus did not pursue things, only turning to leave.


The cultivators from the other powers as well as the rogue cultivators approached the two and clasped their hands respectfully. They gave thanks before scattering as well.


Looking at their panicked expressions, they had clearly gone through the fright of their lives and no longer wished to linger.


Li Lingjing then turned towards Zhu Dayu and Zhu Zhu as her gaze flickered. "Can I trouble the two of you to take care of Li Luo for a moment?"


Zhu Dayu asked with a strange expression on his face, "What do you plan to do?"


"I"m going to take advantage of the chaos and gather more Spirit Resonance Golden Dew." She grinned.


Zhu Dayu scratched his head briefly before pounding his chest in affirmation.


She then grunted her thanks before flashing away, a cold expression forming over her beautiful face.


The others may not have felt it, but the Soul Eater True Devil had not been truly destroyed by Li Luo.


She could vaguely feel that it was heavily injured and was planning to escape.


Li Lingjing would not let that happen.
