The Clear Sky Bow and Shining Sun Arrow were both ultimate treasures of the Qingtian Tribe. Naturally, they were powerful. The more Holy Qi poured into them, the stronger the force that could be released.
In the ancient times, an emperor of the Qingtian Tribe had once used the bow to shoot down a star from the sky.
Zhang Ruochen combined his physical strength and Holy Qi. A blue light instantly flashed on the bow. It covered the entire region, making it look like a clear sky.
The long arrow was covered in rings of white light, like a bright sun.
The clear sky and shining sun phenomenon appeared.
Whoosh.
The blazing white sun flew out, shooting across the sky. It quickly caught up with Empress Huangtian up above.
“Shining Sun Arrow… Zhang Ruochen…”
Empress Huangtian looked back. With her fastest speed, she activated all the defensive treasures on her, forming 12 levels of shields to protect her.
Boom, boom.
The penetration ability of the Shining Sun Arrow was shocking. It could fend off a Saint’s full-power defensive shield. It passed through easily as if it was a thin piece of paper.
The arrow hit Empress Huangtian, setting off shocking energy waves. With a thud, she plummeted into the wilderness outside the city in the distance. It was unknown whether she was alive or not.
Seeing this, all the members of the Huangtian Tribe were furious. After all, she was the future Blood Emperor of the tribe.
If she was killed, then it would be because they didn’t protect her well enough. The Huangtian Blood Emperor would definitely blame them. By then, they would all have to die.
“Looking for death.”
Prince Xia didn’t expect that this would happen either. Golden flames spewed out of his eyes. Waving his hand, he went to attack Zhang Ruochen at the top of the tower.
Zhang Ruochen was very cautious. After shooting the arrow, he immediately used the Great Spatial Move and escaped to dozens of miles away.
As soon as he steadied himself, he heard an explosion from miles away.
The 13-level black tower was shattered by Prince Xia’s palm force. Even the buildings around it collapsed, setting off a heavy cloud of dust.
The defensive formations under the Black Market’s headquarters were all activated, but they still couldn’t fend off Prince Xia’s power. Hundreds of cultivators died from that hit. Countless were injured.
Prince Xia locked down on where Zhang Ruochen was. He pointed to attack again. This time, Prince Xia’s speed surpassed Zhang Ruochen’s escape speed. He was going to kill Zhang Ruochen.
“Prince Xia, I would like to meet you.”
A middle-aged man in an official’s attire printed with a peacock stood in a humble chariot on the street. He stood up tall and had a scholarly temperament. It was Yue Shuzi, the administrator of Tiantai State.
After receiving Huang Yanchen’s news, Yue Shuzi and the other strong cultivators of the imperial court and Confucius Way secretly came to the Black Market. They waited for just this moment.
Yue Shuzi looked to be around 50 years old and was spirited. He held out two fingers and drew an abstruse image in the sky. The image flew out and shattered Prince Xia’s force. Then it flew above his head and pressed down.
Yue Shuzi’s appearance excited all the Evil Way cultivators in the Black Market.
The top figures of the imperial court and Evil Way had appeared at the same time. Usually, they would be overturning the world in a fight.
But today, they were working together against Prince Xia of the Huangtian Tribe.
At this moment, Prince Xia felt quite some pressure too.
Yue Shuzi and the Shopkeeper were both at the same level as him. Even if he couldn’t defeat them, he could still escape easily if they were fighting one-on-one. However, he was facing them together now. He was at risk of dying.
Boom.
The battle between the three top figures set off immediately. The entire city was swept in. All the Evil Way cultivators escaped outward. They were afraid that they would die from the shockwaves if they were a bit too slow.
Prince Xia fought while retreating. He wanted to escape quickly.
“It seems that Prince Xia won’t be able to flee today,” Zhang Ruochen said.
If three Martial Saints of different abilities were fighting and two went to kill the other, it was possible that they would fail. However, Yue Shuzi and the Shopkeeper were able to stop the opponent from fighting. One had shockingly strong Spiritual Power. The other was skilled in the Tianxuan Force.
It definitely wasn’t easy to escape from these two.
Zhu Hongtao looked toward Xingyun Mansion. “The other Vampire Saints of the Huangtian Tribe are trying to break out. We’ll go over and kill whoever we can.”
He and Wan Ke flew over. They started fighting the Vampire Saints with the Saints of the Black Market and Immortal Vampires.
There were ten times more Black Market and imperial court Saints than the Immortal Vampires. No matter how powerful the Vampire Saints were, they would definitely be massacred today. It was extremely unlikely that they could escape.
Zhang Ruochen rushed out of the city to check whether Empress Huangtian was alive or not.
In the Blue Dragon Void World, Empress Huangtian was already in the top-tier level. It was evident just how terrifying her potential was. Once she became a Saint, she would definitely become a great enemy of the human race.
Killing Empress Huangtian was more significant than killing ten Vampire Saints.
A while later, Zhang Ruochen rushed into a forest and found where Empress Huangtian had landed.
A corner of the dark mountain there had caved in. The dirt within hundreds of feet was all scorched. Rubble was scattered all over. Chaotic Holy Qi surged in the air.
Whoosh!
A beam of white light flew out of the ground and landed in Zhang Ruochen’s hand. It transformed into a translucent arrow.
The Shining Sun Arrow.
The tip was dyed red with blood.
“It surprisingly didn’t kill her.”
Zhang Ruochen released his Spiritual Power but didn’t find Empress Huangtian’s aura underground. It was disappointing, but Zhang Ruochen quickly accepted it.
As an empress of a tribe, she definitely had many levels of protection on her. With the saintly reinforcement from Prince Xia, it was normal that the arrow couldn’t kill her.
Huang Yanchen hurried over. “She escaped?”
“She won’t get far.”
Zhang Ruochen released his Spiritual Power. It was like billions of spots of white light flying out. The lights worked with the Spiritual Qi and kept expanding outward 100 miles, 200 miles…
A moment later, Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power was investigating thousands of miles away.
Nothing could hide from him wherever his Spiritual Power went. Even two ants fighting in their hill would appear clearly in his mind.
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes flew open and looked in one direction. “She’s pretty fast. She’s already 2,300 miles away. She must have used a saint decree. I’ll catch up to her and kill her.”
With that, fire clouds appeared under his feet with a Luan bird and phoenix’s apparition. He rushed out.
After turning his physical body into a Saint, even his running was shockingly speedy. He’d also combined the Luan Phoenix Deity Print Speed with his physical strength. Every step he made could shatter the earth and move him dozens of miles forward.
While hurrying, Zhang Ruochen would also use the Great Spatial Move when he amassed enough spatial power. Every move was also more than 100 miles.
Zhang Ruochen pushed his speed to the max. He didn’t want to waste a single instant. With his crazy speed, he was comparable to a Saint in the Heaven Pass Realm.
The distance between him and Empress Huangtian kept decreasing. When he was within 1,000 miles, Zhang Ruochen pulled the Clear Sky Bow back again and shot the arrow.
Empress Huangtian was badly hurt. The armor on her back was broken and blood kept flowing out. Sensing the power from the Shining Sun Arrow behind her, despair appeared on her face.
Even so, she didn’t give up on trying to live. She plummeted.
Poof!
The arrow hit her right shoulder and ripped off her right arm and part of her body. Blood spattered through the sky. It was beautiful.
Empress Huangtian fell to the ground and struggled in pain. Not only had the Shining Sun Arrow hurt her, a destructive force had also invaded her body. It kept devouring her vitality.
A short while later, Zhang Ruochen caught up. He dropped from the sky and appeared near her.
Zhang Ruochen collected the Shining Sun Arrow before walking over. He didn’t say anything extra and was ready to kill her with one palm.
Empress Huangtian was familiar with him. She knew how powerful and decisive Zhang Ruochen was. She probably couldn’t survive today.
“You are an opponent that I fear,” Empress Huangtian said coldly. “As long as you don’t die, you will become a great emperor of the human race. I guess it’s an honor to die by your hand.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were indifferent. He slammed down at Empress Huangtian’s head with a palm.
Just then, he sensed something and looked toward the river in the distance. The flowing river actually flew up in the air.
The surging waters rushed down at Zhang Ruochen.
Crackle, crackle.
The meters-wide river twisted into a spear in the sky and turned into white crystal.
“Empress, Sir Mu Qian told me to come help you.”
One could vaguely see a man in a red robe across the river. He held a scepter pointed at Zhang Ruochen’s forehead.
If Zhang Ruochen let his palm fall, he could kill Empress Huangtian, but he would also be hit by the crystal spear. Even if he didn’t die, he would be badly hurt.
Zhang Ruochen turned his wrist. A dragon roared from his wrist.
Roar!
Thick flames grew out of his palm. His palm print changed direction and crashed against the incoming crystal spear.
