869 Behind Enemy Lines
Behind Enemy Lines
The top-notch sharpshooters, especially those who had condensed arrow intent and mastered Arrow Art to a perverse level, were always the most tenacious and ominous threat.
The legendary tale of Houyi and his remarkable feat of shooting down the sun was attributed not only to his powerful bow and arrows but also to his unparalleled arrow intent. With each arrow he released, his arrow intent surged forth, slicing through the stars and tearing across the sky. Such ferocious arrow intent was what enabled him to succeed in striking the Golden Crow, for without it, even a well-aimed arrow would have been incapable of defeating the mythical bird.
A sense of terror gripped the Blood Demon Ancestor as he watched the battle unfold. “I’ll let you fight to the death first, while I secretly grow stronger and reap the benefits.” The Blood Demon Ancestor’s eyes flickered with malevolence as his heart settled once again.
“If you can take one arrow from me, I wonder if you can take four?” Li Xiang’s eyes gleamed, and another Blood Wolves Arrow appeared in his hand.
He drew the bow and released a shot. The arrow pierced through the air, carrying a scorching and fiery arrow intent, transforming into a Vermillion Bird, and pounced towards the Behemoth King.
But his movements did not stop there, almost like an illusion, he released a second arrow.
This arrow had an even more vicious arrow intent, with boundless sharpness. As a heart-pounding roar echoed through the air, the majestic White Tiger with a baleful aura emerged from the void and lunged towards the Behemoth King.
The attack from Li Xiang did not end there.
In the next instant, a thunderous roar reverberated through the skies.
Roar–
The third arrow brought forth yet another mythical beast, the Black Tortoise, which emerged with an imposing presence that seemed to suppress the void. It bore the head of a dragon, the body of a turtle, and the tail of a snake.The fourth arrow, and the final one, released a brilliant flash of blue light accompanied by a deafening dragon’s roar, as it ascended into the sky before transforming into a colossal Azure Dragon.
The Four Appearances Firmament Arrow Manual proved its power beyond doubt. At this moment, the four mythical beasts, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Azure Dragon manifested in all their glory.
The four arrows streaked across the sky, their Qi dynamics interconnecting, resonating with each other, forming a terrifying Four Appearances Arrow Formation, and swept towards the Behemoth King. Under the influence of the formation, the combined power of the four arrows was much greater than that of a single arrow.
The Four Mythical Beasts, born from the four arrow intents, charged toward the Behemoth King.
This scene left everyone dazzled and in awe as if they were witnessing the arrival of the real Four Mythical Beasts. Drawing upon the Star Power from the heavens, they manifested their true forms, conquering all fronts.
“Such terrifying arrow intent. To think that he was able to shoot out four arrows in an instant. Could his physical body be even stronger than the Behemoth King?” The Blood Demon Ancestor’s heart pounded with fear, his pupils constricting in shock.
This kind of archery required a combination of precision, energy, and spirit to be fully unleashed, with each shot consuming tremendous energy. Now, four arrows were shot at once, how terrifying!
At this moment, the Blood Demon Ancestor’s aura was roiling, and his mind was unsettled.
Rumble!
Just then, the ground rumbled as if millions of tons of explosives were detonated at once, causing the entire battlefield to shake violently. It was as if a megaquake had occurred, with cracks appearing one after another.
“Not good, something’s happening underground!”
The Blood Demon Ancestor’s face turned ashen. A foreboding sense of unease washed over him.Underneath the ground was the void he created, where a large number of giant Blood Demon eggs were located. If any unforeseen event occurred, the Blood Demon race would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses with countless casualties.
His purpose in manipulating the humans and orcs was to collect the bloody baleful aura and nurture the descendants of the Blood Demon race. If all the offspring of the Blood Demons were killed, then what was the use of these schemes?
“Ancestor, run quickly! The Kingdom of Dawn has discovered our nest, and many rune bombs have been thrown underground. Many of our children were killed on the spot before they were even born.”
“Revenge, we must seek revenge! Ancestor! Sixty percent of our people have perished. If it weren’t for the protection of the altar, we would all have died. Tens of thousands of rune bombs, it’s simply insane!”
The earth cracked open, and streaks of bloody light rose into the sky.
It was a blood altar and upon it lay numerous crimson figures that were moaning and screaming. There were also a large number of giant crimson eggs collected on the altar, but they all looked extremely miserable.
If it were not for the protection of the altar, all members of the Blood Demon race would have died, utterly obliterated. The sudden and unexpected attack was impossible for anyone to fend off. Extinction would have been the inevitable outcome.
“Darn it! I, the Blood Demon Ancestor, will not rest until the Kingdom of Dawn is destroyed!”
The eyes of the Blood Demon Ancestor were blazing with rage. He was reveling in the sight of the brutal fight between Li Xiang and the Behemoth King, leisurely plotting in his mind. Little did he expect that his lair would be attacked all of a sudden. This was not an accident; it was clearly a calculated move to lure his attention with the decisive battle above ground while sending people to attack his lair and exterminate the entire clan.
The Blood Demon Ancestor had planned to secretly ambush Li Xiang or the Behemoth King during the battle, sending either one to his death. He was extremely pleased to think that he could easily play them between his palms despite their strength.But now, he realized that he was the one being played with.
This humiliation, coupled with the heavy casualties suffered by his clan, fueled the burning rage within the heart of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
However, he did not lose his sanity.
Fighting against Li Xiang and the Behemoth King in this situation, where the odds were stacked against him, would definitely not be a wise choice.
Flee!
As long as there was life, there was hope!
He had to leave this place first. As long as he could escape, he could seek revenge at any time. If he stayed here, he would lose everything, including his life. Staying alive was of utmost importance.
The Blood Demon Ancestor was well aware of the current situation. Watching the armies of humans and orcs clash, he would be a fool to stubbornly fight against Li Xiang and the Behemoth King here. That was not valor, but foolishness, idiocy.
The Blood Demon Ancestor quickly gathered his blood-colored altar and fled towards the distant wilderness.
“The Blood Demon race? Do you intend to flee after causing this chaos? How dare you instigate a war between the Kingdom of Dawn and the Orc race? If you don’t give me an explanation, you won’t be able to leave!” Li Xiang sneered.
Inconspicuously, the four arrow intents that were released earlier had already suppressed and sealed off the nearby void. The Four Mythical Beasts circulated in the void, unleashing shots of arrow intent.
The scene was extremely terrifying. The Four Mythical Beasts harmonized, and the arrow intent surged in the void. Once triggered, it would unleash the power of four different arrow intents.
This was the aura with the combination of four arrow intents. Even the Behemoth King dared not approach it, let alone the Blood Demon Ancestor.
“An arrow array?”
The Blood Demon Ancestor was aghast to discover that these four arrow intents could also connect at their origin and evolve into the Four Symbols Arrow Array.
The Four Mythical Beasts suppressed all fronts, trapping him within, with no way to escape.
The Blood Demon Ancestor could feel the sharp arrow intents constantly shuttling around him, causing his body and soul to experience intense pain, as if they were being torn apart.
His mind was enveloped by a spreading sense of fear.
