Chapter 148: A divine archer never misses (2/2)
”It's beautiful...” Hou Yi felt emotional.
Somehow, this was the weapon he always wanted to ask the forgers of the heavenly court to make for him.
It felt like a piece of his own existence imprinted itself on the bow.
With the bow, came a single arrow.
The arrow had the characteristic red ruby in its tip and shined with a threatening light.
Hou Yi comfortably stretched out the bowstring and skillfully placed the arrow in its place.
Then...
*Whoosh*
At a speed, unlike any other arrow he had launched before, this one reached the water ghosts in less than a second, and...
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
A weapon was important, but the skills of the wielder were even more important.
A single arrow easily pierced through seven water ghosts and immediately turned them into a cloud of black smoke that disappeared into nothingness.
Suddenly, the arrow returned to his hands.
”Your weapon is a spectacular one.”
”No, you're a good archer.”
Hou Yi appreciated the praise, and his smile stretched out from ear to ear.
”With this bow, I'll defeat this ghost king!”
As he said that, all of the clouds around them started gathering at one point as if a black hole sucked them in.
When the scenery below them was entirely visible and distinct, the aforementioned clouds formed a humanoid figure.
”I can't believe it, three immortals and...Zhong Kui of the Underworld armies?!” The humanoid figure exclaimed.
”That's me.”
”I see what's going on, you should be the people Guidi warned me about...”
”You already went through the life-giving one and the traitor from the heavenly court?”
At the mention of that last person, Hou Yi's body jerked.
He turned to Alex, and said, ”I'm sorry for doubting such great men as yourselves, as an apology, let me take care of this guy while you relax here!”
Alex shrugged and said, ”Do as you wish.”
”You think you can defeat me that easily?”
A burst of high-pressure air flew towards them at hypersonic speed.
However, a single arrow.
A single arrow was all it took.
The arrow shined a bright red color, and when Hou Yi released it, it passed through the jet of air with ease.
The ghost king felt the threat and put up a water barrier around him.
However, a divine archer was one that never missed, and the arrow pierced through all of the water, and into the body of the ghost king.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion took place.
The dragon roared in pain and flew back, whereas the group plugged their ears because the noise was too loud.
All of the clouds that gathered to form the ghost king earlier expanded outwards in all directions.
To the mortals, it seemed like it was raining again, yet, the rain was a deadly omen to the ones that escaped the floods.
”That was my very full strength, I am now...exhausted,” Hou Yi laid down on the dragon's back.
