Chapter 240

A golden arrow of light shot out. It seemed to split apart s.p.a.ce and was like a shooting star as it rushed towards the Corrupt disciples.

At the beginning, the light-arrow was only the size of a regular arrow. But as it flew, it grew larger and its aura become incredibly terrifying. All of heaven and earth shook because of it.

By the time the arrow was ten miles away from the Corrupt disciples, it had grown over thirty meters wide.

BOOM!

The heavens shook and the land trembled. Terrifying energy exploded out in every direction. A huge ditch had been dug into the ground. It was impossible to see the bottom.

Anyone hit by that light-arrow had all exploded. Blood filled the sky. Over half of the thousand Corrupt disciples had been killed by that single arrow.

As for the ones who had survived due to luck, they were shaken by just the aftershock of the arrow. They were vomiting blood as they tumbled through the air.

That one arrow’s might shook heaven and earth. The most shocking thing about is was that it had possessed an overflowing will within it that instinctively led to subservience.

“How… how terrifying!” Song Mingyuan and them were absolutely dumbstruck.

There had been over a thousand Corrupt disciples there. That wasn’t much less than how many monastery disciples they had here.

There had also been at least eight core disciples. But that one attack had included all eight of them. That was practically the ability of a supernatural being.

Of those eight core disciples, only one had reacted quick enough and brought out an odd paG.o.da s.h.i.+eld to block it. But that paG.o.da s.h.i.+eld immediately burst apart after that attack.

The other core disciples had all died. Of the ordinary disciples, only four hundred had managed to survive luckily because they hadn’t been within the range of the arrow. But even still, over half of them were heavily injured.

They had all seen ruthless and fierce scenes, but they had never seen something this fierce. Long Chen’s heart was also pounding.

He wasn’t shocked about how powerful that arrow was. He was shocked because of the will that had been contained in that arrow. That was the first time he had seen an attack containing the power of will.

Of everyone present, only Long Chen could sense that. That was because Long Chen’s attacks also contained will.

The two of their wills were not entirely identical. But there was one part that was the same. Both their wills’ contained a kind of belief in being unrivalled. In front of that will, the confidence of those enemies hadn’t been able to endure a single blow.

Those core disciples had been suppressed by that will. In front of that will, they felt despair, as if they were completely insignificant, and were unable to bring forth any effective resistance.

Although that will could only suppress them for a split second, that second was enough.

“Run!”

No one knew who had shouted that amongst the Corrupt disciples, but they all began to flee.

“We can’t let them flee! Let’s stop them!”

Seeing the Corrupt disciples were routed, the monastery’s disciples definitely couldn’t let go of such a good opportunity.

“No need.” Long Chen shook his head, stopping everyone.

He had only just stopped them when that man atop the city gates smiled icily. He raised his bow slowly, his right hand pulling the bowstring.

This time, all of Long Chen’s focus was on his movements, and he could see that the instant he pulled back the string, countless, tiny runes lit up slightly on atop his bow.

Suddenly, all the energy of heaven and earth was absorbed, and a single arrow appeared on his bow.

“What a powerful weapon. It can actually absorb heaven and earth’s energy.” Long Chen was shocked. That was the first time he had heard of such a weapon.

“Thousand Arrows!”

A single arrow shot out. But en route, it split apart into a thousand rays of light.

In front of their shocked eyes, those Corrupt disciples were all cut down by those light-arrows.

Only that core disciple that had survived was able to resist with his powerful cultivation base. Raising his sword, sword-images appeared in the sky, cutting apart tens of light-arrows.

But with the previous attack and this one, his body was already on the verge of breaking down. Blocking that blow caused him to vomit up blood.

Most terrifying of all, after those two attacks, his courage had been completely broken. He couldn’t bring himself to even think about fighting. All he could think was to run.

In just a couple breaths, over a thousand Corrupt disciples had died, leaving behind only this one, heavily injured core disciple fleeing for his life.

That man smiled slightly as he saw those core disciple fleeing. He pulled back his bowstring.

A light sound rang out. For some reason, that light sound caused everyone’s hearts to tremble.

That core disciple suddenly stiffened, his body no longer moving.

He then vomited out blood. Within that blood were pieces of his broken organs. After that, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

“A bird frightened by the mere tw.a.n.g of a bow…”[1]

All the monastery disciples thought of that expression. The scene before them was exactly the same as that story.
