"If our Saint Heir were here, maybe he could give it a shot!"
The speaker was a disciple from the Taixu Cave Heaven.
More than a year ago, upon learning that Wang Xiu would need at least several hundred years to awaken, Ye Guhong had already left, saying he was going to search for his own path.
No one knew where he had gone.
Perhaps he had traveled to other worlds within the Ten Lands.
Perhaps... he had already reached the Nine Heavens by now.
「...」
A figure stood opposite Yi Xing, clad in a pure and flawless white dress. She was like the crabapple tree in the small courtyard of Spirit Turtle Peak.
"Saintess!" an elder from the Mount Shu Immortal Sect exclaid, stunned that Li Xuanqi had stepped forward without a word.
Yi Xing stared at Li Xuanqi. Her face was clear, cold, and exquisitely beautiful, her skin as translucent as white jade, resembling a Fairy from Guanghan. His icy gaze was sowhat dazed as he said, "I never expected to find a woman like this in such a remote region of the Lower Realm..."
Li Xuanqi’s voice was cool. "Draw your bow!"
Yi Xing was slightly stunned, then smiled. "Very good. Quite arrogant. I most enjoy seeing prey like you fall beneath my arrows!"
Li Xuanqi did not speak, but responded with her actions.
Two clear streaks of immortal light flew from her sleeves. They were hazy and indistinct, transforming into the sun and the moon as auspicious vapor billowed from them, rushing toward Yi Xing.
In an instant, waves of immortal energy surged.
Yi Xing seed to be enveloped by countless stars, the terrifying power pressing down on him so heavily he could barely breathe.
Surprise flashed through his heart. I’ve miscalculated. This woman from the Lower Realm is far stronger than I expected!
His feet flickered as he tore through the void, arriving high in the sky where he nocked an arrow to his bow.
WHOOSH!
The arrow streaked through the sky like a falling teor, piercing through countless seas of stars, seeking to tear this world asunder.
But it failed. The paired sun and moon revolved with a great rumble, radiating an incredibly dense immortal light. A vast and mighty power pressed in from all directions, forcibly refining the falling teor until it exploded.
Then, an even more trendous force pressed down toward Yi Xing.
Yi Xing’s pupils constricted. This was the first ti he had been at a disadvantage.
This woman... she’s so strong!
「...」
"I never expected the Saintess to have mastered the Sun and Moon Golden Wheels to such a degree!"
"The Saintess possesses a Congenital Mixed-Elent Sacred Body, so she is naturally compatible with the Sun and Moon Golden Wheels!"
"The Saintess’s talent is unparalleled! Her future achievents will be boundless!"
Seeing Li Xuanqi display her divine might and actually suppress Yi Xing, everyone in the surrounding crowd was shocked.
The experts from the Mount Shu Immortal Sect were grinning from ear to ear. The young man from the Yi Clan of the Nine Heavens was so powerful that he had swept through nearly all the young experts of Nanzhou. Now, they could finally hold their heads high. This victory also brought great glory to Mount Shu.
「...」
High above in the sky.
"Hiss... This woman is really sothing!"
"At the sa realm, she actually managed to suppress Yi Xing. Even in the Nine Heavens, such strength is enough to be proud of!"
"More than that? She’s more than qualified to join a Holy Land..." said a woman with a radiant, jade-like face, delicate red lips, and a charming figure, looking down at Li Xuanqi with clear admiration.
"Is Sister Zhao considering recruiting her?"
"She’s such a fine seedling. Don’t you all have designs on her?" Sister Zhao made no secret of her interest.
"We may have plans, but that’s a matter for the future. The most pressing issue right now is to resolve the situation in the Northern Sea!"
At the ntion of the Northern Sea, everyone’s expression turned solemn, and they stopped their casual banter.
「...」
The battle below had already entered a fever pitch.
Yi Xing’s expression turned ugly. He had fired two arrows, and both had been blocked by Li Xuanqi. Even if he shot a third arrow now, it would likely fail.
Am I really going to fall here today? Defeated by a group of ants from the Lower Realm?
He found it hard to accept.
CRACKLE!
His gaze was icy as he slowly plucked three Colorful Scale Feathers from the Dragon Hawk and nocked them onto the bowstring. His aura soared to an unimaginable degree. Where his gaze landed, it seed as though even the Grim Reaper would have to step aside.
Seeing this, the crowd shouted, "What are you doing? You’re breaking the rules!"
Yi Xing’s expression was grim. "I only said I would take three shots. I never said I would only shoot three arrows!"
WHOOSH!
He released his fingers.
The three colorful arrows shot forth like Flood Dragons, instantly sealing the space around Li Xuanqi and leaving her with no way to escape.
Li Xuanqi lifted her head, her hair falling beside her ears. Her lively eyes shone with a calm and wise light.
Runes filled the sky.
The Great Sun Wheel transford into a golden sun to shield her. Endless golden light enveloped her body, making her look like the legendary Sun Goddess, ineffably stunning.
The three arrows struck the golden sun, erupting in a dazzling spray of sparks. Countless runes collided, grinding against each other and unleashing a terrifying fluctuation that spread in all directions.
Li Xuanqi’s clothes fluttered in the blast. A trickle of blood escaped the corner of her mouth, but her eyes only shone brighter.
She had blocked it! The attack had failed to crush her!
"We’ve won! We’ve won!"
Soone was the first to cry out, and soon, everyone joined in the excited shouting.
The applause was deafening. The cheers were like a tidal wave, shattering the clouds above.
Yi Xing held his bow, his expression indifferent. "You’re celebrating too soon."
In the next mont, everyone’s expression changed.
The three arrows, which had seemingly exhausted their strength, suddenly burst with a blinding light, releasing an unimaginable amount of energy.
That was not the power of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Yi Xing had once again broken his own rules, unleashing a cultivation level that transcended Li Xuanqi’s realm.
BOOM!
It was too close, too fast. No one could stop it in ti.
The power exploded. Li Xuanqi was sent flying backward, blood spilling from her mouth. Her exquisite face was deathly pale, a heart-wrenching sight.
"Despicable!" soone shouted in anger, condemning Yi Xing’s lack of morals and repeated underhanded tactics.
Even the prodigies from the Nine Heavens above couldn’t stand to watch anymore.
"Such behavior is simply too low!"
"The Yi Clan has always been best at shooting from the shadows. What virtue could they possibly possess?"
「...」
Yi Xing, however, remained calm. He acted as if he hadn’t heard the curses, walking over to loom over Li Xuanqi. "You do have so skill," he said, "but... that’s all. Nothing more."
As soon as his words fell, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from a distant mountain peak. The sound was earth-shattering, as if sothing had just exploded.
"That direction is... Spirit Turtle Peak? The back mountain?"
