Chapter 573: The Shock Caused by the Burning Arrow
Jian w.a.n.g held the decapitated head of the archer, Troy. This guy was so troublesome and it took him a bit of effort to kill the archer. He glanced at the head of Troy. There was a look of regret in his expression right before his death. "You"re a tough one..." Jian w.a.n.g said before tossing the head to the ground.
He then stared at the remaining enemies. The Fire Mage, Sebastian was still alive, but he was about to be killed by Asmodeus" Killing Array Formations.
Sebastian"s robes now has multiple holes and his exposed body revealed deep cuts and wounds. His face was also pale and his aura was unstable. It was only a matter of time before he would be killed by Asmodeus.
Meanwhile, Elyssier has now decided to support Elena in fighting the Hall Master of the Hall of Creation, Lilith. Looking at the bedraggled figure of Elena, Jian w.a.n.g was surprised. Luckily for her, Elyssier came in a timely manner to give her support.
"I should help them." Jian w.a.n.g dashed towards Lilith and brandished his sword as he muttered silently.
"One Point Sword Annihilation..."
A distinct sharp cry akin to the wailing of ghosts resounded as Jian w.a.n.g"s sword suddenly turned into a thin dark blade that flashed towards Lilith.
s.h.i.+NG!
Lilith felt an impending sense of crisis and she immediately put up her strongest defensive barrier in front of her body.
BAAAANNNG!!
The barrier that Lilith created exploded into tiny motes of golden light and she was sent flying by the shockwave.
"Thanks." Elena wiped the blood trickling at the corner of her lips with the back of her right hand. Her aura was shaky and she was wobbling in midair.
Elyssier held the shaking Elena to her embrace and looked at her with worry. "Are you alright?" She asked while checking the wounds on Elena"s body.
Elena was severely wounded and even her soul was partially damaged. The injuries on her physical body could be treated in a few months, but the damage to her soul might take more than several years before it could be fully healed.
"I"m fine. Jiu Shen has a wine that can rejuvenate the body and heal a damaged soul. Don"t worry." Elena replied when she saw the look of concern on Elyssier"s face.
Hearing this, Elyssier nodded her head and sighed in relief. She then moved her gaze to Jian w.a.n.g. "Is she still alive?"
The attack summoned by Jian w.a.n.g earlier was so strong that it almost depleted all his true essence. He might be able to summon the same attack with his remaining true essence, but that was all that was left of him. "I don"t know, but even if she"s still alive, she should be severely injured. Let"s go look for her."
Ahhhhhh!!
Suddenly, they heard a blood-curdling scream as the Fire Mage, Sebastian was turned into minced meat under the fierce firepower of Asmodeus" Killing Array Formations.
The three turned their gazes and saw Asmodeus waving at them with a wide smile.
"Took you long enough!" Jian w.a.n.g grinned when he saw the man smiling at them.
His words immediately made Asmodeus upset. "What do you know? That Sebastian guy was so troublesome and he even destroyed many of my Killing Array Formations. Dammit!"
He only had a limited number of Killing Array Formations, but about sixty percent of them were destroyed by the Fire Mage during their battle.
Jian w.a.n.g chuckled as he patted the man"s shoulder. "Let"s go find Lilith. She might still be alive." He then turned his gaze towards Elena and said. "You should rest for now, Elena. With your current state, you wouldn"t be of help to us. Take some healing pills and recuperate. Leave the rest to us."
Elena nodded her head with a solemn look. The battle against Lilith destroyed her confidence, but she knew that she would day become as strong as that woman. "Alright. I"ll monitor our soldiers and help them from the shadows." She replied in a soft voice.
Elyssier released Elena and nodded at her before she went with Jian w.a.n.g and Asmodeus to find Lilith.
However, just as they were about to move further, a blinding golden radiance suddenly illuminated the skies, stunning them in place. They also saw a burning giant golden arrow flying past them before shooting into the horizon.
They sensed a dreadful power behind the huge burning arrow.
"What the h.e.l.l was that?!" Jian w.a.n.g uttered with a dumbfounded look.
"I have no idea." Asmodeus shook his head with a blank expression on his face.
"Wait. I think that arrow came from the direction of Jiu Shen and Hecate." Elyssier suddenly said and the group of four soon reached a silent agreement to check what was happening. They wondered who summoned that fearsome burning arrow.
A trace of worry and expectation covered their faces as they moved together.
Soon, they saw a lone man hovering in midair like a peerless G.o.d of war.
A handsome man with long silver hair. There was not even an injury in his body. He had an expressionless look on his face as he grasped his sword.
However, they noticed that he was holding an unconscious woman in her other hand.
"Jiu Shen!" They all shouted in unison. A look of relief surfaced on their faces when they saw him in great condition. They had so many questions in their heads, but they tacitly decided not to ask anything.
Jiu Shen unsummoned his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword and turned his gaze to the woman in his arms. Her face was covered by a veil, but it was soon blown away by the fierce wind, showing a beautiful face that was out of this world. He then removed the cloth that covered the woman"s eyes and frowned when he sensed something. "So that"s why you"re covering your face..." He muttered with interest.
This woman was even more beautiful than Elena and Theia! However, Jiu Shen felt no particular attraction to this woman. She was an enemy and his enemies are bound to be killed!
He only decided to spare her life since he still had some questions about the Lord of Asgard.
