Chapter 722: Secrets of the Graceful Spiritual Bow
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Wushuang was incredibly familiar with the surrounding terrain. As he had already moved ahead a few steps, plus with the speed from the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings, although Lei Yue was fast he was one step too late.
With a flash in the sky, Qin Wushuang seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.
Qin Wushuang entered back into the secret channel. Qin Chongyang opened the defenses just in time and as Qin Wushuang entered, the barrier shut down automatically.
“Ha ha, Wushuang, how did it go?” Since Qin Chongyang was wandering indirectly at the barrier’s entrance, he could not see the outside battle scene. Thus, he was left in the dark with how the battle was going.
Qin Wushuang laughed. “Let’s talk when we return to the headquarters.”
When Qin Chongyang saw that Qin Wushuang was beaming, he knew that the situation was not bad. Overjoyed at the unexpected good news, within a moment’s time they had returned to the headquarters.
When Qin Yunran and the others saw that Qin Wushuang had returned this quickly, they thought that the matter must not have been done. However, a moment ago they saw that the disposition of the Supreme Dao elite warriors was clearly in a chaotic state. It was a reaction that would only happen if their rear was attacked. Therefore, for the time they were indefinitely in doubt.
Qin Wushuang revealed a trace of happiness from being victorious and he let out a laugh. “Everyone, from this mission, besides the Supreme Dao elite warriors, the remaining small figures suffered disastrous casualties! At least fifteen elite warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage have died and more than two hundred ordinary martial artists have been killed or injured!”
“This many?” Everyone’s one was full of disbelief.
Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “I shot the Graceful Spiritual Bow in nine consecutive attacks, the power unleashed was unexpectedly powerful. It had directly formed an attacking whirlpool that wrapped around all the elite warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage who were coming towards us. With one weave, they vanished like a puff of smoke. Indeed, this Graceful Spiritual Bow has astonis.h.i.+ng power.”
“For the others, they were taken care of by my two sealed spiritual beast. They are both inherited spiritual beasts that have secret divine skills. It was as easy as chopping up gra.s.s when they were killing people. From this mission, it had at least reduced one fifth of their forces that were beneath the Supreme Dao Stage. More than half at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage have died!”
Qin Chongyang laughed. “I heard your loud shout saying that those who help the villain do evil and those who act as hawks and hounds for the Xin Clan, the Qin will destroy you all! The ma.s.sacre combined with your threat, I am afraid it would be even more persuasive! I believe that those neutral sects must regret their choice!”
Qin Wushuang said, “I had hoped that the neutral sects would suddenly repent and withdraw from the fighting group!”
Qin Yunran laughed. “Good, even if they are not to withdraw, certainly they may start fighting between one another. Those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage are the core elite people from each sect. Even the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates cannot afford to have them die. How many were at the Supreme Dao Stage? Adding all from the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, there were only about twenty. Those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage were the top core members. Let me see how many they can afford to waste!”
Qin Taichong roared in laughter. “Junior Brother Wushuang, I truly do not know how to describe you. You are such a great monstrous figure. It seems that you are advancing at each and every moment. And your speed of progress is truly fast. You’ve killed a dozen of those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage instantly, it’s too terrifying.”
Across the Qin Clan, only four were at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Among the twelve Honored Warriors, four were at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage and eight were at the Ravine Mysterious Stage.
Currently, even Qin Taichong and Qin Wushuang were only at the Ravine Mysterious Stage, and not yet at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage!
It was apparent how those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage were incredibly precious. Why would that Xin Wuji, the son of the Heavenly Emperor hold such a high shout? He was only at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage!
As a dozen warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage had died and with the rest of them injured by the repercussions from the golden light, it was definitely an immense strike to the Heavenly Emperor Gate side!
Qin Yunran laughed again. “Even for me, at the Eighth Coagulate Spirit Supreme Dao Stage, I do not have the confidence to kill all those at the Peak of the Coagulate Spirit instantly. Wushuang, I firmly believe that with time, you will become someone who gives Xin Tianwen a headache!”
For those clansmen of the Qin Clan that were filled with suspicion of Qin Wushuang in the early stage, now they were free of any doubt. When they looked at Qin Wushuang, their eyes revealed an extra sense of recognition and admiration.
For such a form of recognition, one could only acquire it by pa.s.sing the life and death challenge and after proving one’s absolute strength!
“Wushuang, your bow and arrow is really powerful. Would you allow me to take a look?” Suddenly, Qin Chongyang asked, “Perhaps, it’s possible that the Head Chief could use it to deal with Xin Tianwen!”
Qin Wushuang had not been stingy. He carried the Graceful Spiritual Bow with his hand as golden lights overflowed in all directions that gave people an endless sense of resplendence. The dazzling lights pierced everyone to the extent that they could almost not open their eyes.
Qin Chongyang took it and as soon as he carried it, it instantly felt as heavy as a thousand kilograms. A form of endless power, an endless attack power that even caused Qin Chongyang’s divine soul to feel shaken.
Before he had looked at it for more than a moment, he was agitated.
“What was going on? What’s happening?” Endless terrifying memories rushed forth through Qin Chongyang’s spiritual perception. Innumerable bodies and ghastly ghosts that kept emerging to appear in his consciousness. For a time, it seemed as though he were in a battle scene.
“Third, what’s wrong with you?” When Qin Yunran saw that it was far from rea.s.suring, he immediately took the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
Now, Qin Chongyang regained his senses. When he saw Qin Yunran holding the Graceful Spiritual Bow, he immediately shouted, “Second, do not move that Graceful Spiritual Bow, put it down! Don’t observe it with your Qi!”
Qin Yunran also felt his spirit dispersing. Upon hearing Qin Chongyang’s sudden shout, he suddenly snapped out of it. Then, he put down the Graceful Spiritual Bow.
“What’s going on?” Qin Yunran was also greatly astonished as he looked at the Graceful Spiritual Bow with disbelief. He had also seen the bow in the past and had never been this terrified.
Qin Wushuang also found it to be disbelieving. He picked up the Graceful Spiritual Bow, but did not feel anything abnormal.
“Wushuang, why would this Graceful Spiritual Bow have such powerful murderous intentions? In that instant, it almost swallowed my divine soul,” Qin Chongyang said with lingering fear.
Qin Yunran was also puzzled. “Wushuang, what’s going on?”
“Two chiefs, I do not have such feelings. However, ever since I got the Shooting Sun Arrows, whenever I fight in battle, a form of murderous intentions become very apparent. For this presence, I do not know whether the Shooting Sun Arrows have evoked it or if it’s caused by the Graceful Spiritual Bow.”
Qin Yunran thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, initially when we saw the Graceful Spiritual Bow, we did not have such a feeling. It must be the Shooting Sun Arrows that have awakened the tremendous power of the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Since Wushuang is the owner of the bow, he can not feel it. When we held it, we were invaded by its murderous intentions.”
Qin Chongyang nodded. “Right, this way, invisibly, the Graceful Spiritual Bow has already recognized its master?”
Qin Wushuang had a sudden thought inwardly. Ever since he got the Graceful Spiritual Bow, he always felt this bow was like a giant treasure box for it contained a presence as vast as the open sea.
In the beginning, he could use at most half of its power and could kill opponents that were numerous times more powerful than him. Thinking back on how he had killed the Devil Boy, at that moment he thought that he already exploited much of the power from the bow. Thinking now, the power at that time was ridiculously meager.
Now, ever since the Shooting Sun Arrows had appeared, the Graceful Spiritual Bow seemed to have truly awakened from its deep sleep. Although Qin Wushuang felt that much more power had not been excavated, it was indeed incomparable to the past.
“Alright, the more mysterious this Graceful Spiritual Bow gets, the more it proves its significance. Or else, how could it be a divine object used by the totem elite warriors? Wushuang, it seems that this Graceful Spiritual Bow has recognized its owner. Now me and the Head Chief can not use it, I don’t know whether or not the Head Chief can handle it.”
“If the Head Chief could not even handle it, this Graceful Spiritual Bow would be too powerful.” Qin Chongyang gave a long sigh.
Qin Wushuang still remembered that when the Stargaze Palace was in a crisis, he lent the Graceful Spiritual Bow to Head Palace Master Zhuo Buqun to use it against the invasion forces of the Nine Palace Faction.
At that time, the Graceful Spiritual Bow had not excluded foreign people.
Now thinking back, it should be after the appearance of the Shooting Sun Arrows where the Graceful Spiritual Bow started to reject others.
“Regardless, to the Qin, this Graceful Spiritual Bow was a good thing and not a bad thing. Qin Wushuang, you must increase your training and aim to enter the Supreme Dao Stage soon. If you can enter the Supreme Dao Stage, combined with the Graceful Spiritual Bow and the Shooting Sun Arrows, it would definitely be as simple as stepping on ants when killing other Supreme Dao elite warriors!”
Qin Yunran let out a straightforward smile and walked forward. “Everyone, let’s not indulge in flights of fancy, let’s see how the battle is going with the Head Chief and Xin Tianwen!”
Between the Head Chief and Xin Tianwen, the two of them were already engaged in a heated battle. After a few hundred tossing battles, they could not decide the outcome.
The two of them had observed the battle situation beneath through their spiritual perception. Although the Heavenly Emperor’s disposition had broken one of the defensive barriers of the Qin Clan, Qin Wushuang had killed a lot of people at once. A crack had already appeared in their disposition of forces and of course, Xin Tianwen was anxious about this.
And when Qin Xiaotian saw that there was no success after a long time of attacking, he was unwilling to keep consuming himself and thought about withdrawing. After giving a few rumbling attacks, the two of them retreated with mutual sensitivity and both had returned to their forces.
When the Head Chief had returned to his disposition of forces, upon hearing Qin Wushuang’s monstrous battle progress, he also became interested in the Graceful Spiritual Bow. After he held it in hand and by sensing it slightly, his expression also froze.
He activated his power of the divine soul to deal with the murderous intentions of the Graceful Spiritual Bow. After a while, the Head Chief opened his eyes and handed the Graceful Spiritual Bow over with a bitter smile.
“Wushuang, the presence of this Graceful Spiritual Bow has not been excavated completely. Despite this fact, I can only be roughly comparable with it. It’s divine presence can not be tamed, I am afraid I can also not control it.” With a long sigh, he returned the Graceful Spiritual Bow to Qin Wushuang and encouraged him, “Don’t worry, perhaps this divine leveled object possess spirituality, it might not necessarily be a good thing that it’s unswerving to you.”
Qin Wushuang nodded and took it solemnly.
Qin Xiaotian said with joy, “Wushuang has gone out and filled the sky to kill a dozen warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Certainly this will give a crack to their disposition of forces, to the extent it might split them apart. We will rest for now and wait to see what happens. If Xin Tianwen can not think of a good solution, he will lose every sc.r.a.p of his reputation. As long as those sects are in dissension and discord, it would be good for the Qin!”
Initially when Qin’s people saw a dozen Supreme Dao elite warriors pressing on their border, they were more or less worried. Now seeing that the battlefield had developed this way, inwardly they emerged more confidence to the future of the Qin Clan. With disciples as exceptional as Qin Wushuang, as long as the Qin made it pa.s.s this difficulty, they would surely have a bright future!
…
Beneath the Aspiring Throne Mountain, the six major sects of the Heavenly Emperor disposition of forces had retreated a thousand miles to set up camp temporarily. Xin Tianwen flew into a terrible rage and roared, “This is a disgrace! When being attacked by a young disciple from the rear, you were late on catching him? Do you deserve the name of being among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates?”
It was not strange that Xin Tianwen was furious. Such silly mistakes were simply too childish. If they had not overestimated their enemies and thought that the Qin were like fish in a barrel, how could they be so unwary?
The Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect were fine, yet the other three major neutral sects truly felt as though they had nowhere to complain of any injustice. This time, they had suffered disastrous casualties and each had lost two or three at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Those few warriors beneath the Supreme Dao Stage had almost all died in this battle.
Those seven or eight at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage that had not died were from the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa and the Heavenly Emperor Gate. This had caused those three major neutral sects to feel incredibly resentful.
They did not hold any grudges or injustice with the Qin Clan, yet now they were pulled into this messy scene. In addition to disastrous casualties, the Qin had spoken ruthlessly to destroy all of them!
The powerful aspect of the Qin Clan was displayed through the Head Chief and that devilish young man. Thinking here, these three major sects could not refrain from emerging thoughts to withdraw.
Xin Tianwen swept across them with a cold gaze. “In the next wave, I will break through their defenses and you will watch in! How does a mere defense barrier need a dozen people to break though it together?”
After he had finished, he swung the Heavenly Emperor wings and transformed into a long rainbow to shoot to the upper part of the Aspiring Throne Mountain!
