On the other side, Huangfu Ziyu relied on the mystical abilities of the Sun Shooting Bow to speedily pursue Prince Wan Yan and his followers, chasing them all the way into a pile of giant rocks.
Within this pile of giant rocks were various mounds and large stones, resembling a stone forest, greatly obstructing the view. Huangfu Ziyu gave chase and saw from afar that Prince Wan Yan had already led his three subordinates over a hundred ters away. Although Huangfu Ziyu had the Sun Shooting Bow, the nurous mounds and large stones in this stone forest blocked her line of sight, preventing her from aiming at her target. She could only continue the pursuit along the path.
Fortunately, Huangfu Ziyu was floating in the air and could clearly see the positions of Prince Wan Yan and his n. Following them this way, there was no risk of losing them at all. Moreover, once they left this stone forest, and Prince Wan Yan and his n were exposed, it would be a piece of cake for Huangfu Ziyu to shoot them!
The stone forest spanned a wide area, approximately six or seven miles in width. Prince Wan Yan also saw from afar that Huangfu Ziyu was pursuing from the sky, which frightened him to no end. At this mont, he had no ti to contemplate how Huangfu Ziyu could fly; he could only desperately flee with the three Supre Elders. At this mont, his only thought was to shake off Huangfu Ziyu, escape the ng District, and imdiately take the Wanyan Family into hiding.
The defeat at Hung City not only resulted in forming several great enemies, but the family's foundation was also nearly depleted. The eight Supre Elders were the core strength of the family and were usually untouched. It was only when the Sun Shooting Bow was about to appear that he brought them out, ready to go all out. Yet five of the Eight Great Supre Elders died here, and among the remaining three, it was uncertain how many could leave the ng District alive. His current mood was utterly dejected; his forr ambitions were completely crushed in this battle, and his sole thought now was to survive, without even daring to think of anything else.
Moreover, in this expedition in the ng District, he made significant enemies. He offended both Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk, two peak masters; if either ca seeking revenge, the Wanyan Family would be hard-pressed to resist. Therefore, he dared not ponder too much. If he could safeguard the Wanyan Family, even at the cost of abandoning the family's legacy, it would be worth it!
With this thought in mind, Prince Wan Yan bolted desperately, and in less than ten minutes, he led the three Supre Elders out of the stone forest. However, he had not yet lost his mind; upon rushing out of the forest, he imdiately darted into a small wooded area. This wooded area provided even better cover than the stone forest earlier; even if Huangfu Ziyu was floating in the air, it was not easy to spot them now.
Moreover, this wooded area was vast, and considering the current situation, they might indeed have a chance to escape from Huangfu Ziyu's grasp.
Huangfu Ziyu noticed Prince Wan Yan's intentions, her delicate brows furrowing as she stared at the completely obscured woodland. Suddenly, she bent the bow and shot, and an air arrow imdiately surged into the woodland. The air arrow was incredibly powerful, causing branches to break and leaves to fall as it passed. The mighty Qi force sliced through all trees within a zhang (approximately 3.3 ters) radius, leaving the area exposed.
This was a technique Huangfu Ziyu used by dispersing the Qi force to sever branches, and unexpectedly, it worked wonders. She imdiately regained her spirits and fired several successive arrows, instantly piercing through several areas, revealing what lay inside the wooded area.
The group of Prince Wan Yan had been using the cover of the forest to flee; now Huangfu Ziyu severed these branches, gradually revealing their figures.
"Not good!" exclaid one of the Supre Elders in alarm, "At our pace, we can't outstrip her speed in breaking these branches. If we continue like this, we'll be killed sooner or later!"
"But we can't just stop running!" another Supre Elder said helplessly.
"Split up!" Prince Wan Yan ordered in a low voice, "Whoever can get out, imdiately go into hiding with the family. This ti, the Wanyan Family has no chance; we must endure for a generation, rebuild our strength, and wait for the next opportunity!"
Upon receiving Prince Wan Yan's command, the three Supre Elders imdiately scattered and fled in different directions. By spreading out, they could divert Huangfu Ziyu's attention, possibly allowing one of them to escape alive.
Huangfu Ziyu hovered in the air, tightening her Long Bow, intently watching the small wooded area below. Suddenly the three Supre Elders dashed out from different locations, causing her to pause montarily, but she quickly understood their intentions. She promptly adjusted her Long Bow, aiming at one of the Supre Elders and releasing an arrow.
This Supre Elder had run less than twenty ters when an air arrow tore through the air toward him with a piercing sound, shattering his mind's focus. He hastily dodged, but ultimately could not match the Sun Shooting Bow's power; the air arrow penetrated his body directly, and he slowly fell to the ground.
Having slain this Supre Elder with a single arrow, Huangfu Ziyu did not hesitate, quickly adjusting the Long Bow to target the other two Supre Elders. However, these two managed to flee back into the wooded area, their bodies shielded by the trees, making it impossible for Huangfu Ziyu to continue aiming.
Huangfu Ziyu's delicate brows furrowed, unable to aim at that Supre Elder. She then once again used her old trick, leveraging the power of the Sun Shooting Bow to snap those branches, causing these people to lose their cover. After a few more arrows, she finally tracked down one of the Supre Elders.
"Where do you think you're going!" Huangfu Ziyu shouted coldly, drawing a full bow, releasing an air arrow that surged forward, piercing through the air, heading straight for that Supre Elder.
That Supre Elder was indeed clever; when the branches above his head snapped, he imdiately leapt aside. This move actually bought him a chance, as the air arrow shot by Huangfu Ziyu missed him, instead slicing through several nearby large trees.
Missing her target, Huangfu Ziyu didn't pause and imdiately drew her bow and shot again, sending another air arrow. That Supre Elder was incredibly agile, instantly turning and rolling on the ground upon landing, dodging with no pause, making it impossible for Huangfu Ziyu to aim at him.
After three consecutive misses, Huangfu Ziyu's expression gradually turned cold. She refrained from striking again, instead watching that Supre Elder for a mont before suddenly drawing her bow again. However, this ti she did not aim at the Supre Elder, but at a large tree not far from him.
An air arrow shot down, and the large tree was directly felled, almost crashing onto the Supre Elder. He hurriedly dashed in another direction, but after just a few steps, another tree fell in his path. If not for his quick reflexes, he would have been crushed for sure.
The Supre Elder was shocked; with several large trees falling, their thick branches blocked the path, hindering his escape considerably. He was anxious beyond asure, knowing that if this continued, with nowhere to hide, he would inevitably face death!
"Huangfu Ziyu, one day, my Wanyan Family will completely annihilate your Huangfu Household, destroy your ancestral tombs, and obliterate your roots!" the Supre Elder shouted wildly, having completely given up, venting his anger through words.
"We'll see who gets annihilated first!" Huangfu Ziyu retorted coldly, shooting an arrow that pierced right through the Supre Elder, from the top of his head downward, his entire body almost exploded by the powerful Qi Force, scattering blood and flesh everywhere.
After killing this Supre Elder, Huangfu Ziyu didn't spare him a glance and imdiately turned to pursue in another direction. The last Supre Elder had escaped in that direction, and Huangfu Ziyu intended to kill them all.
anwhile, Prince Wan Yan took advantage of the situation to flee desperately in the sa direction as before. The three Supre Elders had rushed out to draw Huangfu Ziyu's attention, giving him precious ti to escape the farthest. After running for a while, he heard a Supre Elder's cursing voice in the distance behind him and knew that that Supre Elder was as good as dead, making him even more frightened and unwilling to pause even for a mont.
Soon after, a third Supre Elder's scream echoed from behind, causing Prince Wan Yan's heart to skip a beat. He realized that the entire foundation of the Wanyan Family, the eight Supre Elders he brought along, had all perished here without exception. The strength of the Wanyan Family had suffered trendously, with no qualifications to compete for the Three Gates of Heaven, Earth, and Man now.
Prince Wan Yan was filled with regret, thinking that had he known it would turn out like this, he would not have brought those eight Supre Elders. Greed had driven him to seize the Sun Shooting Bow, leading to this downfall. The family's hard-earned strength over the years was completely lost at his hands, reflecting his agonizing mood.
"Wan Yan Zong, your eight Supre Elders are all dead now. Where do you think you can run?" Huangfu Ziyu's cold voice suddenly ca from behind, like a soul-searching sound, scaring Prince Wan Yan into breaking out in a cold sweat.
"With all eight Supre Elders dead, the Wanyan Family's power ends here. Wan Yan Zong, even if you manage to escape, the Wanyan Family won't rise again!" Huangfu Ziyu spoke coldly once more, "Are you planning to just eke out a living now, or will you co out to face in battle?"
Prince Wan Yan gritted his teeth, infuriated by Huangfu Ziyu's provocation. However, he knew well that he wasn't qualified to duel with Huangfu Ziyu. If he stepped out, she could shoot him dead with a single arrow, without any suspense!
Holding his breath and calming his mind, he carefully sneaked through the forest to evade Huangfu Ziyu's pursuit. Behind him, large tree branches continuously snapped, exposing vast areas, causing his heart to race frantically. He truly didn't know how far he could run; maybe, with the next arrow, Huangfu Ziyu would shoot him in the head or pierce him through!
