Chapter 665: Fall of a Saint Ruler (Three)
In a mountain range, the white-robed Situ Qing could be seen borrowing the cover of the forest to make a speedy but silent escape. Not a single sound could be heard from his movements, and even traces of his movements weren’t seen. He was even afraid of using Spatial Force to aid his escape until he made it out of the Four Harmonies Manor. The use of Spatial Force could be felt by a Saint Ruler, and that would immediately reveal his location.
Since he was trying to hide his tracks, he couldn’t travel as fast. So traveling fifty or so kilometers took a dozen times slower than usual.
“I’ve traveled a decent distance; should be able to use the Spatial Force now I suppose. I need to meet with Bi Hai, we won’t be a match for the three of them, but at the very least we can secure a better chance of survival.” Situ Qing thought to himself before a sudden feeling forced him to turn his head behind. “They’re almost here! Dammit, I’ve forgotten about that snake.”
Without any more hesitation, Situ Qing immediately made use of his Spatial Force to join with the world itself and fly off with incredible speed away from his pursuers in hopes of widening the distance. Since he was as good as exposed, there wasn’t any further need to hide. In this case, the best thing to do was to move as fast as possible.
Situ Qing’s usage of the Spatial Force was ultimately detected by Huang Tianba, whose eyes immediately swung to look down at the concentrated patch of trees where Situ Qing was at. “I’ve found him. He’s using his Spatial Force ten kilometers ahead of us.”
“Out of the three of us, only you have enough understanding of the mysteries of space to catch up to him. Hurry up and chase after him, he has not my poison, and so I cannot detect him if he travels too far away.” Nubis spoke.
“Worry not, he won’t escape me.” Huang Tianba laughed. A golden bow immediately appeared in his hand; it was the Solunar Bow!
Pulling back on the drawstring of the bow, a golden arrow immediately materialized out of thin air. With a twang, the arrow was released with frightening speed towards Situ Qing. As it traveled through the skies, the arrow almost looked as if it was melting into the world.
The abnormality of this arrow was that there was no ear-piercing whistling that usually accompanied the shooting of an arrow. It was as if the arrow was one with the world and could pierce through space itself to chase down Situ Qing.
After he shot the arrow, Huang Tianba slowly put down his bow, “This arrow has locked onto his aura. Even if he’s a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, he won’t be able to escape it. This arrow can travel in between space itself.”
“Ruler Armaments left behind by a Ninth Heavenly Layer are considerably strong if it can have such an effect like this.” Nubis spoke out honestly.
No sooner did Nubis finished speaking when just thirty kilometers away, the arrow Huang Tianba fired out made contact with Situ Qing.
“Senior Huang, Nubis, lets go, quickly now. We must not let him escape this time.” Jian Chen spoke.
Utilizing the Spatial Force, Huang Tianba and Nubis both immediately blended in with the world itself and borrowed its power to speed forward. In the blink of an eye, they flew far away from Jian Chen towards Situ Qing.
Jian Chen himself began to use the Illusionary Flash to travel by himself since he had not yet understood the mysteries of space.
When Jian Chen arrived, he could only see that the Saint Ruler from the Sect of Dragon and Tiger was slammed against a broken cliff-side with blood dripping down from his mouth. Right in front of him was Huang Tianba and Nubis standing in a way that would prevent Situ Qing from escaping.
The power of a Ruler Armament was extremely strong, and the arrows shot forward from the Solunar Bow was strong enough to force even the Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler Bi Hai to use up a considerable amount of energy even though he was stronger than Situ Qing. This arrow wasn’t made with Saint Force either, it borrowed the strength of the world to add to its strength, and therefore was undeniably harder to block. Thus, even if Situ Qing was able to block it, he wouldn’t come out unscathed.
