Chapter 166 Heavenly Soldiers, Shooting the Heavenly Wolf
The sky darkened, and only a long spear trailing a trail of flames appeared before the old man with the cloth bag in the blink of an eye.
The sharp spear tip gathered endless light and came into contact with the colorful smoke and clouds surrounding the old man with the cloth bag. In just a short moment, the smoke and cloud barrier was torn apart, revealing the old man's horrified face.
The spear did not falter in the old man's shock, and pierced through his body in an instant.
Swelling.
The old man with the cloth bag, along with his cloth bag, transformed into colorful smoke and clouds, allowing the spear to pierce through his body.
Then, the cloud of smoke quickly rose in altitude and re-condensed into the figure of the old man with the cloth bag in the air.
"That was close. If I hadn't turned into smoke in time, that one shot would have taken my life."
Patting his chest, the old man with the cloth bag looked at the still-powerful spear, his eyes filled with solemnity.
"What's that? How come there's a river?"
A dark red river is rushing along the ruins that Huangfu Chong shot with an arrow.
It seemed to have a self-awareness, flowing only along the paths of the ruins, ignoring everything around the ruins.
At the very beginning of the river, the dark red waters converged to form a dragon's head, which then formed the body of the river behind it, rushing straight toward the light-devouring spear.
Amidst the roaring waves, another sound suddenly arose.
It was the voice of a being from another world, the sound waves spreading around the spear and unleashing a power that was also from another world.
The spear remained suspended in mid-air, neither falling nor continuing forward, until it was swallowed whole by the dragon's head.
"What's going on?" Huangfu Chong frowned, a thought flashing through his mind as he tried to recall the spear that was connected to his mind.
Useless.
Through his mental connection with the spear, he could feel the spear struggle for a moment, but then it went silent.
Consequently, the connection between them became extremely weak.
Just like that spear has vanished from the world.
The old general's face darkened, and he took the longbow from his back.
That long spear was the divine weapon that accompanied him on his journey of battles, and after he broke through to the Grandmaster realm, it was upgraded to a Heavenly Divine Weapon.
But this doesn't mean that he only has one divine weapon.
Due to reasons such as financial resources, talent, and time, most people only have one divine weapon and can only refine one divine weapon.
But he was different; he lacked nothing, so he forged two divine weapons.
The longbow in his hand, named "Shooting the Heavenly Wolf," is his second divine weapon, and also a divine weapon.
Compared to ordinary divine weapons, celestial weapons are more spiritual and more indestructible.
In a sense, the Heavenly Soldiers are the embodiment of their masters and possess equally great power.
Some divine weapons that have been refined for a long time can even unleash the power of a Grandmaster on their own.
While Huangfu Chong's Shooting Wolf could not achieve the same level, it was still a divine weapon no less powerful than his spear.
Draw the bow, nock the arrow, aim, and shoot.
The arrows flew like dragons, their momentum no less impressive than that of a rushing, dark red river.
Compared to the arrow that was just fired to set up the site, this arrow was much more powerful, and the aftershocks alone doubled the size of the passageway in the ruins.
"The power contained in this arrow is truly terrifying." The old man with the cloth bag floated in the air, looking at Huangfu Chong with apprehension, and then sighed, feeling a sincere regret for the black and red river.
He didn't believe the river could be preserved by this arrow; more likely, it would be wiped out entirely.
Those who shared the same idea as him were the disciples of the five sects and the wandering martial artists who had already hidden themselves to watch the battle.
The moment they saw the city wall collapse, some hid and others fled.
None of them believed they could be a match for Huangfu Chong, and if they approached rashly, they might even be killed by the soldiers.
Now, besides the old man with the cloth bag, the only one who can still intervene in the battle is the river controller whose identity is unknown.
"The imperial court has clearly been planning this for a long time." Bai Zhanfeng said with a gloomy face, glancing at the army before looking away.
The soldiers in their army are all artificially created Qi Condensation Realm cultivators, and the method that can connect everyone's Qi is probably the work of the Feast Cult.
"It's hateful that we didn't wipe out the remnants of the Feast Cult back then," the Purple Cloud Sect leader said indignantly. "The imperial court must have secretly taken in the remnants of the Feast Cult to obtain these methods."
One of the important reasons why the five sects joined forces to fight against the Feast Cult was that they obtained relevant research information about the Feast Cult.
The Five Sects were well aware of what the Food Cult was researching, and they also knew that if they succeeded, it would inevitably disrupt the balance between the imperial court and the Five Sects.
Therefore, swift and decisive measures were taken at the time, but unexpectedly, the news still leaked out, allowing the relevant members of the Food Cult to escape.
The imperial court still achieved those results and applied them to the army, leading to their current bitter consequences.
The river stopped flowing, and at its head, the dragon's head was wide open, and the sound of the waves transformed into a roar that sounded like a dragon's cry.
With the roar of the dragon's head, billowing blood mist surged out.
"This is...!" Upon seeing the familiar blood mist, Bai Zhanfeng's eyes widened, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
The other elders of Hidden Sword Peak also showed varying degrees of shock, but despite this, they remained pessimistic about the strange river.
As the River Styx spewed forth blood mist, no one noticed that a red-robed Taoist priest had appeared atop the dragon's head.
Mo Di stared straight ahead, and even with his sharp eyesight, he could barely catch the arrow that Huangfu Chong had shot.
But he also has the laws of the Styx.
The immense computing power, along with the assistance of the Longevity-level Dragon Soul, slowed down his perception of time, as if he had entered "bullet time," allowing him to see and analyze the arrow.
"Target has entered attack range."
Elena's indifferent voice rang in my ears.
"The Yuan Tu and Abi attack modules are ready."
The two swords, one green and one white, were stained with blood and vibrated at a low frequency, emitting a faint sword cry.
"Incomplete awakened weapon activated, dead point data collection complete."
In Modi's eyes, blood-red spots suddenly appeared.
There was clearly one on that arrow as well.
With the left hand forming a sword gesture, and the right hand forming a sword shape with fingers together, a diagonal downward slash is made forward.
Yuan Tu Abi shot out like lightning, hitting the arrow precisely where it was doomed, following the calculated trajectory.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow shattered, and the two swords flew back, trembling.
A tiny crack appeared on each of the two sword lights.
"?" Huangfu Chong's eyes widened slightly. "My arrow...it's been destroyed?"
He and the soldiers behind him had already stopped their charge to avoid entering the unknown blood mist.
Their energy remained closely linked, and their strength did not diminish despite ceasing their charge.
"It actually blocked it?" Although the old man with the cloth bag didn't know what had happened inside, he could still sense the disappearance of the arrow.
Before he could figure it out, the blood mist released by the River Styx below spread rapidly, quickly engulfing the imperial army.
"Hmph, playing tricks."
Huangfu Chong snorted coldly, drew three arrows, nocked them all on his longbow, locked onto his target with his gut feeling, drew the bow, and shot.
The three arrows attacked from different angles, extremely tricky, yet all of them hit the target that he had intuitively locked onto.
Shhhhhh.
The arrows pierced the depths of the blood mist, and after another breath, they shattered together.
A slight cracking sound was heard, and Huangfu Chong's eyes widened even more.
From within the fog, eerie sounds rang out, and one after another, strange figures, resembling the dead, appeared, charging towards the black-armored army without hesitation.
"Black-armored soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Another order was given, and all the soldiers behind the old general drew their swords and joined him in engaging the enemy.
Because their energies were connected, the soldiers received a share of Huangfu Chong's power, making them even more difficult to deal with, given their already high level of Qi Condensation Realm strength.
Especially when they have a numerical advantage.
Monsters fell one by one to their blades, while they suffered only a dozen casualties.
Huangfu Chong, who was at the forefront, led the charge and his killing efficiency remained high even without his spear.
His weapons include fists, legs, elbows, bows, and arrows; each strike can defeat a large number of monsters.
Under his relentless onslaught, Freddy was disfigured a second time, and Jason even had his mask knocked off.
"The entire monster force has been wiped out and is currently resurrecting. It is recommended to send the First Demon Legion to engage them."
Elena reported the situation methodically, and Mordy responded calmly, "Approved."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Styx River, which had been stagnant, began to flow again, surging towards the Black Armor Army like a stampede of ten thousand horses.
Huangfu Chong gazed calmly at the surging river. "All troops, form ranks."
The soldiers quickly gathered, and before the River Styx arrived, the clouds beneath their feet converged, making them float up as if riding on clouds.
They floated until they were level with the river surface, then stopped rising, as if they had reached their limit.
"The Mist Rising Array can be used like this?" Modi lurked within the River Styx, quietly observing this scene.
Beneath the turbulent River Styx, shadows quietly emerged with a whoosh.
One by one, demons from the underworld emerged from the river, gradually rising, stepping on the water, and riding the waves.
They were tall, with dark red skin, and were taciturn, holding guns and waiting for orders from their superiors.
"All personnel are at your disposal. Open fire at will."
Bazett's voice rang in their ears, and almost instantly, they raised their guns and pulled the triggers.
These firearms, being alchemical creations, are quite powerful, but they can only be used normally in spaces divided and shrouded by blood mist.
Once the blood mist appears, it will most likely fail due to rule incompatibility.
The piercing gunshots jolted the Black Armor Army soldiers to their senses, and they instantly swung their swords at the bullets.
The alchemical bullet struck the blade but was not deflected; instead, it exploded immediately.
Various strange flames splashed out and, upon touching the soldiers' black armor, spontaneously combusted.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers were mercilessly shot to death, their bodies falling into the River Styx and being rapidly decomposed.
Because the alchemical weapons used by the demon legion have large calibers and the bullets are special alchemical bullets, a single hit can blow off half of the target's body.
The number of Black Armor Army soldiers began to decline rapidly.
Huangfu Chong quickly noticed this situation and was about to make a move when five colorful clouds of smoke crashed down on him.
"Huangfu Chong, your opponent is me." The old man with the cloth bag held the Five Qi Smoke Bag in one hand and continuously released smoke and cloud serpents.
Having lost his spear, Huangfu Chong had no choice but to fight him with a bow, while calmly issuing the following orders:
"The military strategist arranged the Four Qi Cycle Formation."
In the center of the Black Armor Army, a group of strange soldiers dressed in black robes swallowed a bright red pill upon hearing this, and then raised their right hands.
