The Prodigies War

The mysterious bow was constructed from bones and skeletons, and the divine jet-black arrow exuded an ancient aura that immediately caught the attention of everyone.

Everyone had heard too much of Lin Xun’s brilliant feats.

Each of those feats revolved around the mysterious bone bow and jet-black arrow.

In their view, it was the bow and arrow that allowed Lin Xun, who was only at the Heaven Ascension Stage, to achieve the feat of killing half-step kings!

“They are a pair of ancient treasures with an unfathomable background. It may have been passed down by a Saint!”

Many experts had the same speculation, which was astonishing and fascinating.

So, when Lin Xun brought out the mysterious bow and arrow, all eyes were drawn to them.

“What amazing treasures…” Zhangsun Lie marveled, his eyes shining with a gleaming radiance. He could sense their mystery and terror.

In the distance, the expressions of King Gui Ling, King Qing Yun, King Ning Yue and King Bi Cang turned solemn, and their pupils shrank slightly.

Even from afar, they could still sense the aura of the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow.

So terrifying!

That was their first impression. They knew that they had to approach cautiously because the pair of weapons had easily killed half-step kings.

“That black divine arrow was in the depths of the Tiger Canyon…it should have belonged to us...” King Gui Ling murmured bitterly. Then, his eyes glinted covetously. “This time, maybe we should fight with all our strengths to seize the pair of treasures!”

“Yes, they are surrounded by an obscure and terrifying aura. Although it isn’t quite the aura of a saint treasure, my intuition tells me that they are not inferior to any Saint treasure.”

King Gui Ling and the other three brute kings’ eyes glittered with greed. Even they had never owned such heaven-defying treasures, so how could they not be tempted?

But immediately, they became guarded because Zhangsun Lie had received the huge bow, drew the bowstring and aimed in the direction from afar.

Buzz!

As the blood-red bowstring was fully drawn, mysterious and terrifying visions flickered around the bow.

The wind and thunder raged, the gods and demons howled in anger, the starry rivers erupted, the ten thousand ways collapsed, the sun sank below the blue sky, and the golden crow wept blood in the sapphire sea!

An indescribably frightening aura spread out, making the world fall utterly silent!

The void seemed unable to bear the tremendous pressure as the space silently began to collapse. The Magi Brute experts felt their blood run cold, and they were about to suffocate and break down.

“This is bad!” King Gui Ling and the others all felt a bone-chilling killing intent. Their faces blanched and their hair stood on end like there were spikes in their backs.

Their reactions were caused by only the power produced by the drawn bow!

Zhangsun Lie stood tall in the air, drawing the bowstring like a majestic god about to descend upon the world. His heroic and superior bearing drew forth awe and reverence from the empire cultivators.

Even Lin Xun was surprised. The No-Nonsense Bow was undoubtedly several times stronger now compared to when he wielded it!

“Could this be the true power of the No-Nonsense Bow?” Lin Xun murmured.

“They are definitely a pair of treasures from ancient times. They have been stained with countless blood and their murderous aura is enough to stir the universe!”

Qin Chu’s heart throbbed violently, and his eyes went wide with an imperceptible flash of light. Such a treasure is wasted in Lin Twelve’s hand. It’s like a pearl covered in dust...

“Act now!” A roar boomed out in the distance followed by King Qing Yun attacking brazenly.

He swung a halberd made of animal bones across the air, aiming for Zhangsun Lie.

Boom!

The halberd was definitely not an ordinary treasure. Its ten foot body slashed through the air and cast countless totem visions one after another while ancient spells echoed through the world.

The void collapsed, and the sky and the earth seemed about to be torn in half. The power of a true king was demonstrated to its full majesty.

Lin Xun’s hands and feet went cold. He had no doubt that he would be crushed to death in an instant if he were to face the blow instead!

That was the power of a Life Death Stage King!

Bang!

Almost at the same time, Zhangsun Lie fired the Biluo arrow. An incredibly fierce and almost indestructible force suddenly appeared in the world.

So fast!

So terrifying!

Some cultivators felt a stinging pain in their eyes before their minds shook violently. They couldn’t see or sense anything.

Then, with an earth-shattering bang and piercing wail, the bone halberd was propelled across the air. A large part of the halberd had been broken!

“This is bad!” King Qing Hun leaped up in shock. The power of the bow and arrow had gripped him with fear so he decided to attack first, but only now did he realize that he still underestimated the terror of the pair of treasures!

He darted away in a flash.

But with a flash of black light his body exploded into two halves, mangled beyond recognition, and a shower of blood splattered across the world.

A brute king was killed before he could dodge!

King Gui Ling, King Ning Yue and King Bi Cang, who were about to rescue him, stood petrified.

What kind of terrifying treasures are those? How can they instantly take the life of a king?

They were chilled to the core, and their faces morphed indefinitely.

The atmosphere became deathly silent. Everyone from both the empire and the Magi Brute Race was struck with horror.

One arrow killed a king!

That kind of shocking power was unimaginable unless one witnessed it with their own eyes.

“As I thought, I haven’t brought out the true powers of the No Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow...” Lin Xun exclaimed.

The No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow belonged to him, but he hadn’t been able to fully control them.

He only realized their true power when they were in Zhangsun Lie’s hands. They deserved to be called unrivaled divine weapons.

A look of shock washed over Qin Chu’s face, and he couldn’t move his eyes away from the No Nonsense Bow.

So strong!

If I have this pair of treasures, wouldn’t I be invincible in the great wide world?

……

It was utterly silent.

Zhangsun Lie didn’t continue to kill in the silence. Other people might not have noticed, but he was as amazed as them at the power of the bow and arrow. Moreover, he had almost exhausted his strength after firing the arrow!

“General is amazing!”

Some cultivators cried out excitedly, and soon, the entire 7th army camp erupted in cheers.

Who else in the Blood Kill Battlefield possessed such invincible powers that could kill a king with one arrow?

The morale of the Magi Brute Army plummeted like never and everyone became restless and uneasy.

So terrifying!

They had come to the empire territory in a mighty and aggressive manner, attaching no attention to any empire cultivator. Their huge forces were bearing down on the border, but Zhangsun Lie’s arrow struck their hearts hard like a giant hammer and shattered their fighting spirit.

It wasn’t just them, even King Gui Ling, King Ning Yue and King Bi Cang turned pale and a chill spread to the soles of their feet. The terrifying scene happened before their eyes.

But they couldn’t stop it!

They didn’t even dare to imagine whether they could block the arrow if it was aimed at them…

“If you get lost now, then it won’t be too late,” Zhangsun Lie said aloud after drawing a deep breath.

Lin Xun immediately realized that the arrow just now had almost exhausted all of Zhangsun Lie’s strength...

“It seems like you can’t fire another arrow.” King Gui Ling also saw through him and refused to retreat.

He had mobilized so many forces yet the enemy still managed to kill one of their kings with a single arrow. If they retreated, it would be the greatest humiliation.

“You are right.” Zhangsun answered frankly. “But don’t forget that there is another Life Death Stage King beside me. I only need to hand the bow and arrow over to him. He could easily kill another of you!”

Kin Gui Ling’s countenance changed.

“Or perhaps, you have decided to use another life to continue fighting us?” Zhangsun Lie asked coldly. “That’s fine with us. I just need to activate the Eight Poles Saint Array and maintain it until my strength recovers. I can kill all of you one by one like that!”

King Gui Ling kept quiet.

No one would play around with their own lives.

Moreover, they had to admit that Zhangsun Lie’s analysis was very accurate

No one dared to act rashly.

But it would be too embarrassing and humiliating for them to retreat like that!

All the empire cultivators were cheering and applauding; their morale was sky-high. Who would have thought that the appearance of a pair of bow and arrow would turn the situation around?!

It was so unbelievable that it almost felt like a dream.

The reversal was brought about by Lin Xun, so they couldn’t help but look at him with deepening admiration and awe.

“Allow me!” Qin Chu eagerly volunteered himself. He had been itching to take the set of bow and arrow from Zhangsun Lie’s hand to test their extraordinary powers.

However, before Zhangsun Lie agreed, King Gui Ling and the others had come to a decision.

“Retreat!”

They retreated with livid faces contorted with endless anger and resentment. They made the safest decision, but it was also the most shameful.

It was the greatest humiliation for the well-prepared and equipped army to retreat after their huge forces were bearing down on the border. How could they not be depressed and embarrassed?

Rumble—

Very quickly, the Magi Brute Army receded like the tide, disappearing into the distant horizon.

There was a long silence in the 7th camp as the cultivators dazedly watched on, as if they couldn’t believe it.

A huge army that had been led by four brute kings...retreated just like that?

According to past instances, a large-scale war would have broken out, but the situation deviated from expectations and was even reversed.

All this happened because of the bow and arrow in Lin Xun’s hand!

The arrow killed a king. The arrow deterred the enemy! The arrow forced them to flee in terror!

The arrow determined everything!
