Chapter 549 - Stage Nine Archers
Back then, when he was in Heavenly Forging City, Tang Huan had encountered an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt from the "Secluded Night Divine Palace". At that time, the trump card that the "Secluded Night Divine Palace" had prepared was an archer who was at the peak of the eighth stage of Martial Lord. That person not only used the "Specter Arrows", but also a different kind of golden arrow. Even though that person managed to escape, Tang Huan was certain that he was the Sha Long Empire"s Ten Thousand Generals, Dugu Yan.
He never thought that after he cooperated with the "Secluded Night Divine Palace" the last time, he would cooperate with the Demon Clan again. Furthermore, compared to the last time, his cultivation had improved by a lot.
"Stage Nine Archers?"
Tang Huan"s pupils shrank, the stronger the archer, the more terrifying his power was, a peak eighth stage Martial Lord level archer, it was possible for him to kill Stage Nine Martial Saint, and a Stage Nine Martial Saint level archer could also pose a huge threat to the Peak Stage Nine Ranker.
Dugu Yan was the commander of the Sha Long Empire, Hong Liang"s ten thousand generals. Back then, at Feng Ming Mountain, Tang Huan had killed two of Hong Liang"s sons. Back then in the Heavenly Forging City, Dugu Yan"s movements must have been ordered by Hong Liang, and now, he was no exception.
In order to get rid of him, s.h.i.+ Zhongda had really put in a lot of effort. Not only did he contact the Eight Remoteness Dragon King, he even hooked up with Hong Liang.
Tang Huan could not help but sneer inwardly.
"Bang!"
Just as Tang Huan was thinking, that intense string hum sounded out once again, and that arrow was like a golden stream of light, piercing through the air with an incomparably shocking speed, aiming straight for Tang Huan. Wherever the golden light pa.s.sed by, the s.p.a.ce around it began to fluctuate rapidly. The terrifying Strength Qi spread out and immediately condensed into a violent golden storm around the arrow. It continued to move forward at a high speed, continuously enveloping the area within a dozen meters of the arrow.
Such terrifying power and astonis.h.i.+ng speed made it so that anyone who faced such an arrow would only be able to receive it head on and have difficulty dodging it.
The most frightening part was that after the second golden arrow was fired, Dugu Yan had quickly nocked a third.
"Bang!" "Bang …"
The bowstrings vibrated like thunders as the golden arrows were shot out one after another in a continuous stream.
"Nine Stars Linked Pearl!"
A hint of coldness flashed past Tang Huan"s eyes.
After a few months, Dugu Yan"s cultivation had increased, and the might of his Nine Star Arrows also increased. Regardless of speed or strength, they were all incomparable to his previous self. However, the current Tang Huan was no longer the Martial Lord of the eighth step, but instead, a Martial Saint of the Peak Stage Nine.
Other than the first arrow just now, Dugu Yan should have been trying to save Eight Remoteness Dragon King.
However, from the second arrow onwards, Dugu Yan had activated the "Nine Star Beads" technique.
"Chi!"
In the next moment, Tang Huan was already rus.h.i.+ng forward, the Dragon and Phoenix Lance in his hands piercing forward like lightning, and in the next moment, a Flaming Pointed Awl spiraled out.
Tang Huan once again displayed the technique "True Flaming Rainbow".
"Boom!" "Boom …"
The continuous screeching sound shot straight up into the sky.
Strength Qi surged out crazily, and after one golden arrow was bounced back, the Flaming Pointed Awl roared as it welcomed the next golden arrow.
Even though Dugu Yan"s golden arrow was growing stronger and stronger, the Flaming Pointed Awl had managed to break through five arrows in a row by the time it completely dissipated. And at this time, Tang Huan, who had traversed twenty to thirty meters of s.p.a.ce, once again brandished his spear, and aimed at the "Nine Star Beads" ", the sixth arrow.
"Ding!"
With a crisp sound, the tip of the Dragon and Phoenix Spear sank slightly under the powerful force that erupted from the arrow. However, at almost the same time, the golden arrow also transformed into a ray of light and charged into the sky.
Tang Huan did not pause at all, with a quick step forward, his spear suddenly leapt up, and then with the force of a thunderbolt, he smashed towards the seventh arrow that had an even more powerful might.
"Clang!"
An instant later, under the fierce bombardment of the Dragon and Phoenix Lance, the golden arrow landed on the ground, and the berserk Strength Qi instantly became chaotic, like a meteorite falling from the sky, it actually crashed onto the ground. Dust and sand surged out of the ground like a tidal wave, and a crater immediately appeared on the ground.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Tang Huan"s body moved like lightning, in a moment"s time he had already jumped over the crater where the sand was churning.
With a deafening collision sound, the golden arrow suddenly flew out. The long spear in Tang Huan"s hand also swung diagonally, his palm was already a little numb.
"Chi!"
At this moment, a sharp piercing sound pierced the air and pierced everyone"s eardrums. It was Dugu Yan"s Nine Star Beads Art, his final arrow. This arrow was even more terrifying than the previous arrow. After the arrow was shot out, the void seemed to tremble violently, as though a huge hole had been torn open in the s.p.a.ce, a tyrannical power wreaked havoc, as though it wanted to tear Tang Huan into pieces.
Sensing the might of the arrow, Tang Huan"s heart immediately praised the technique of "Nine Star Links" incessantly.
If Dugu Yan"s "Nine Star Links" had reached such a level in the Heavenly Forging City back then, Tang Huan would have definitely died. Even the appearance of this Spear Saint, the old fatty, a hundred years ago, would not have been able to frighten him. Fortunately, Dugu Yan was only at the peak of the eighth step at the time.
Right now, although Dugu Yan"s power had increased, Tang Huan"s power had increased by a much larger extent than his.
"Chi!"
With a thought, the long spear in Tang Huan"s hand turned and he once again thrust it outwards. On the head of the spear, flames danced wildly, and the heat emitted from it quickly condensed. In an instant, it turned into a fiery red windstorm, followed the spear"s momentum and roared forward.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
Before the spear and arrow had even touched each other, the two gales of energy had already collided fiercely. In an instant, the air shook, dust and dirt were thrown into the air, layer by layer. Within a radius of dozens of meters, it immediately became hazy.
Ding! In the next moment, a familiar and loud crisp sound rang out. The tip of the Dragon and Phoenix Spear had finally landed precisely on top of the golden arrow.
"Hu!"
Another wave of Strength Qi swept out like raging waves.
Both of Tang Huan"s arms went numb as the long spear in his hands suddenly bent in an arc. However, under this violent impact, the golden arrow was sent flying back dozens of meters at the same speed, before disappearing into the ground. However, the surrounding soil whistled as another crater was formed at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Tang Huan"s body shot forward like an arrow that had left the bow. However, at the top of the slope tens of metres away, the Demon Clan had already spread his wings and floated quickly. By his side, Dugu Yan had also leapt into the air and landed on the back of the Demon Clan.
