1141: Chapter 1141: Resigned to Death 1141: Chapter 1141: Resigned to Death Qiu Heming exerted all his strength, moving horizontally through the air, trying to dodge the fatal threat coming from behind.
However, it was already too late, and he only felt a burning object piercing through his body.
When he looked down, a fla arrowhead, emitting high heat, was protruding from his chest.
“No!”
Qiu Heming distinctly felt his life force rapidly draining away.
Filled with reluctance and shock, he scread and reached out to pull out the fla arrow.
As soon as his hand reached out, the imnse energy contained within the fla arrow suddenly exploded, blowing his body apart.
In an instant, blood mist filled the sky, and Qiu Heming, a mid-ranking Cosmic Level Expert, was utterly destroyed.
The Xuannv Sect disciples were stunned once again.
The bow-type Spiritual Artifact in Fang Bai’s hand could actually kill Qiu Heming from hundreds of ters away.
This far exceeded their understanding, leaving them unable to fathom what kind of miraculous Spiritual Artifact it could be.
Yang Ruojun, who was gravely injured by Fang Bai and barely clinging to life, saw the power of Fang Bai’s arrow, which was far greater than the previous strike.
His already pale face showed a mix of terror, despair, and imnse regret.
But there is no dicine for regret in this world.
Yang Ruojun knew that his stubbornness and intractable behavior had brewed a bitter outco, harming not only himself but also the Xuannv Sect.
He had his ridians shattered and his combat power considerably weakened and was utterly unqualified to continue as the Sect Leader.
With the death of Qiu Heming and the Wind brothers at the Xuannv Sect, Swiftwind Valley would certainly not rest until they had retaliated.
The Xuannv Sect was fated not to escape destruction.
Even if Swiftwind Valley spared the Xuannv Sect, having offended a powerful figure like Fang Bai ant there would be no peace for them in the future.
The Xuannv Sect was bound to decline.
With a single cut and an arrow shot, Fang Bai’s Essence Energy was almost depleted; his vision darkened, and he nearly stumbled, struggling to keep his balance.
Fortunately, his actions of killing Qiu Heming and grievously injuring the senior ranks of the Xuannv Sect had intimidated all the Xuannv Sect disciples, each of them overawed and afraid to look him in the eye.
None of them noticed that he was in an extrely weakened state at the mont.
Fang Bai stowed away the Houyi Bow and took out many Gathering Yuan Pills from his Spatial Ring, swallowing more than a dozen bottles of both low and mid-grade pills, and then he sat down cross-legged to enter a Cultivation State.
The surrounding Xuannv Sect disciples looked on, dumbfounded.
Even the Vast Level Experts of the Xuannv Sect swallowed Gathering Yuan Pills one by one during cultivation, waiting until each pill’s power was completely assimilated before daring to continue.
To consu over a dozen bottles of Gathering Yuan Pills in one go like Fang Bai did was unimaginable.
They couldn’t understand how his ridians could withstand the trendous release of Essence Energy from the pills without bursting.
Originally, Fang Bai had consud the Gathering Yuan Pills to replenish his nearly depleted Essence Energy.
Yet unexpectedly, the signs of advancing that had been looming even before now reappeared, this ti intensively purging through his ridians with the dense Essence Energy produced from tabolizing the pills, stronger than before.
Fang Bai was overjoyed inwardly, knowing that had he not just used all his force to make that strike and that shot, depleting his Essence Energy to the point of extre exhaustion, such an effect would not have occurred.
The saying “What doesn’t break you makes you stronger” seed quite fitting here.
In this world, the majority of Martial Artists, when in a Cultivation State, are unguarded and most vulnerable.
If other Martial Artists took the opportunity to attack then, they could very likely succeed.
Hence, Martial Artists typically seclude themselves in hidden places that others can’t find during cultivation or have soone guard them.
Otherwise, they might encounter danger.
However, Fang Bai, considering the thousands of Xuannv Sect disciples around him as nothing, sat down cross-legged to cultivate in what seed like a state of forgetfulness, obviously at his most vulnerable.
Yet, not a single Xuannv Sect disciple dared to disturb him.
Thankfully, no one dared to lay a hand on Fang Bai.
Otherwise, the murderous intent emanating from the Jade Pendant he wore would have inflicted fatal wounds on those bold enough to attack him.
At that mont, the high-ranking mbers of the Xuannv Sect had struggled into sitting positions and had each swallowed Healing Pills to recuperate.
Only Yang Ruojun still lay in a pool of blood, propping up her body with one arm and looking at Fang Bai with conflicted eyes.
“Hongyan, keep an eye on them!”
Steward Zhou hastily instructed Linghu Hongyan before leaping down and helping Yang Ruojun to sit up.
Steward Zhou took out so Healing Pills, intending to have Yang Ruojun take them, but she shook her head in refusal.
“Don’t waste them…”
Yang Ruojun gave a bitter smile and spoke weakly, “I have committed grave errors, shad our ancestors, and the only way to atone is through death!
But before I die, there are things I must confess… Steward Zhou, bring Zhuge Lian, Linghu Qianjiao, and Linghu Baii here…”
Seeing Yang Ruojun’s resolve to die, Steward Zhou couldn’t help but look desolate.
He nodded, then dashed back to Linghu Qianjiao and Linghu Baii, tapping them lightly to release their constraints.
“Qianjiao, Baii, both of you co with !
The Sect Leader… she has sothing to say to you…,” Steward Zhou said softly, his expression complex, as he stole a glance at the Linghu sisters.
The relationship between the Linghu sisters and Fang Bai ran deep, and Fang Bai had just displayed his terrifying power.
This made Steward Zhou feel even more pressure when speaking to the sisters, slipping into a cautious tone.
The Linghu sisters exchanged a glance, silently communicating.
They assud that unless Yang Ruojun had lost her mind, she wouldn’t think of harming them at such a juncture, so they finally nodded.
“Xiao Lian!
You co too!”
Steward Zhou then gestured to Zhuge Lian, who was not far away.
Zhuge Lian paused, then hurriedly walked over to Steward Zhou and stood beside the Linghu sisters.
Steward Zhou led the three won to where Yang Ruojun was and said, “Sect Leader, Qianjiao, Baii, and Xiao Lian are here.
Please, look…”
Yang Ruojun nodded her head, her gaze settling on the faces of the Linghu sisters.
She sighed, “As death approaches, one’s words grow kind.
Qianjiao, Baii, I acknowledge that my past actions were excessive and caused you much heartache.
Here, I want to apologize to you…”
Just a simple apology, and she expects our forgiveness?
The corners of the Linghu sisters’ mouths curled up in scorn as they watched Yang Ruojun, bloodied and barely alive, without a trace of pity or sympathy in their hearts.
They believed that Yang Ruojun’s current plight was entirely of her own making.
Had it not been for Yang Ruojun and Qiu Heming’s attempt to kill Fang Bai, would such a result have occurred?
If Fang Bai had not been so powerful, having killed Qiu Heming and severely injured the Xuannv Sect’s higher-ups, it might have been Fang Bai lying in a pool of blood instead of the Xuannv Sect mbers.
The Linghu sisters could even imagine that if the situation had been reversed, with Fang Bai severely injured, the Xuannv Sect mbers and Qiu Heming victorious, then Yang Ruojun’s face would surely be filled with triumph.
