Chapter 242: Chapter 241 The Knife is Coming!! (Seeking Subscriptions) Eight hundred meters of distance went by in a blink. *Bai Ziyue raised an eyebrow* and didn’t even draw his saber, his hand moving in a dreamy, illusory manner. Celestial Entwining Hand! It seemed like he was waving and splashing ink, like threads entwining. Buzz! Bai Ziyue’s hand slightly pinched, and he steadily caught the arrow. The ends of the arrow continued to vibrate violently. "To come without returning is impolite." Bai Ziyue let out a long howl, his steps unwavering, his hand turning slightly as he swiftly spun the arrow. A surge of inner strength followed the motion of his hand, transforming into wispy threads, causing the arrow to spin like an electric drill. "Go!" The arrow shot out from his hand like lightning, reversing direction at a speed far faster than before. The leading Celestial Eagle King’s expression changed, quickly drawing the bowstring again. Whoosh! Two arrows collided, one shattering instantly while the other continued shooting toward the Celestial Eagle King with undiminished force. However, the direction slightly shifted. "Ah..." Someone let out a miserable scream, clutching their neck, tumbling off the cliff and crashing down below. *Even Bai Ziyue didn’t anticipate that the arrow, deflected with Celestial Entwining Hand, would still strike its intended target despite being altered by the collision—a martial artist within the Eighteen Eagle Kings.* It pierced deeply into his neck. *In chaos, errors happened, but mistakes sometimes work in one’s favor.* "How is this possible?" Celestial Eagle King showed a look of disbelief. "Quick, shoot arrows, stop him." Immediately he reacted, shouting frantically, and quickly drawing the bowstring once more, launching an arrow, then swiftly nocking another, multiple arrows shooting out like threads. Continuous Pearl Arrow! The others also began to attack. Their archery skills weren’t much weaker than the Celestial Eagle King’s, arrows shooting out with frightening precision, all aiming at the white-robed figure rushing forward. Even though there were only seventeen of them, at that moment, it was as if a hundred were shooting arrows simultaneously. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Accompanied by the whistling wind tearing through the air, a dense cluster of arrows swiftly arrived before Bai Ziyue. "Bring the saber!" Bai Ziyue shouted, the long saber at his waist propelled by his inner strength, shooting out like electricity, then grasped firmly in his hand. The saber light swirled like a long rainbow. Back when Bai Ziyue’s Martial Arts Realm was still in External Forging and Internal Cultivation, his saber could ward off water. Now his strength was a hundred times greater. Even though the power carried by these arrows was stronger, under Bai Ziyue’s Black God Saber, they seemed like mere grass particles, all deflected by his long saber. Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters... Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Bai Ziyue faced countless arrows, moving through the rocky terrain as if walking on flat ground, reaching the peak of speed. Even though these arrows were vicious and swift, they couldn’t come within a meter of him. "Damn!" *Celestial Eagle King’s heart shook, a hint of fear appeared deep in his eyes.* *Who was he?* *Bai Ziyue’s appearance was completely unexpected.* *The opponent’s methods made him feel a sense of powerlessness.* Taking a deep breath, he steadied himself, then reverently drew an arrow from his back. An entirely scarlet one, looking like it had been burned red-hot, the tail embedded with a colorful red feather. Flame Arrow! This was an arrow he had commissioned at great expense, worth no less than the top-grade longbow he wielded. Originally, ten had been crafted, now only three remained after years of use. Normally he wouldn’t part with them, but upon seeing Bai Ziyue’s methods, he finally decided to shoot this costly arrow. The Flame Arrow was nocked on the longbow, drawn to a full moon. His inner strength surged along the bow and arrow, pouring into the arrow. In an instant, the red arrow emitted flame-like glow, as if ready to ignite entirely. Whoosh! The Flame Arrow fired with the whirlwind’s force, unstoppable. That colorful red tail had a layer of spiritual light, like a bird flapping its wings, making this arrow naturally much faster than others. Thud, thud, thud... Arrows shattered upon colliding with the Flame Arrow. The whirlwind closed in on Bai Ziyue in the blink of an eye. *Bai Ziyue’s heart jumped, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.* Spiritual Qi fluctuation! *This arrow had talisman characteristics, or more accurately, the traits of a disposable magical artifact.* Its power was undeniable. "But, for me, it’s still useless." Shock Blade Technique! The long knife swept up, fast as a startled swan, lightly touching the Flame Arrow. Boom!! A muffled sound echoed like distant thunder in the surrounding forest. The Flame Arrow dispersed in an instant, with endless heat, like magma, bursting forth and spreading out like a sea of fire, enough to cover a range of several meters. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Layer upon layer of gold bells suddenly appeared on Bai Ziyue’s body. Protective divine skill, Golden Bell Shield! The thick layers of gold bells, like a massive city wall, faced the scorching flames yet were completely unaffected. The next moment, Bai Ziyue’s figure had already burst out of the sea of fire. Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters... Bai Ziyue moved like flying, swift as lightning, rapidly approaching. By then, Bai Ziyue seemed indifferent to the rain of arrows shooting toward him. The dense arrows struck his Golden Bell Shield, but only muffled sounds could be heard, unable to shake the bell’s defensive power in the slightest. The Golden Bell Shield at its Fifth Layer pinnacle could withstand the full force of a Second-class Expert’s attack. These arrows, which could threaten ordinary Martial Artists in the Inner Cultivation Realm, or even Inner Power Realm Martial Artists, posed little challenge to him. Moreover... Buzz! As the Fourth Layer Bell shattered and the Third Layer Bell teetered on the brink. The outermost layer of the bell suddenly revealed a shining, dense golden hue. The Sixth Layer Bell emerged! Through constant wear and tear, under Bai Ziyue’s relentless exertion, the Golden Bell Shield, already at the Fifth Layer pinnacle, instantly broke through to the Sixth Layer. "Kill!" Bai Ziyue shouted, then collided fiercely with the members of the Eighteen Eagle Kings. Bai Ziyue raised his long knife, and a layer of dark color flashed over the Black God Saber as he unleashed a series of slashing attacks. The Celestial Eagle King retreated, stowed away his long bow, drew out his long knife, inner power pouring in, causing an eye-catching red glow to emanate from the blade. "Die!" He had managed to cultivate his martial arts strength to that of a Second-class Expert. His archery was unparalleled, but his sword technique was even stronger. More than a dozen experts, each at the Inner Power Realm, silently drew their weapons and swiftly closed in for the kill. Bai Ziyue furrowed his brow, stepping with the Seven-Star Chasing the Moon technique, knife gleams crisscrossing like black ribbons, cutting down like celestial might, fiercely dominating, unstoppable. Overlord Saber Technique! An Inner Power Realm Martial Artist wielded a spear to attempt a surprise attack, only to see the black long knife quickly pass by. At that moment, he felt as though the long knife contained the essence of the Martial Arts Dao, with endless mystery, involuntarily drawing him in. As the blade light descended, he awakened at the last moment. Crack! His consciousness shattered, his entire body cleaved in two. "Old Nine!" With a cry, Bai Ziyue advanced, knife gleam quick as a flash, inner power surging, the Black God Saber seemed to merge with the vast earth. Wave after wave spread out as the Black God Saber shook, dissipating around them. Boom! Boom! Boom! The air vibrated, affecting their qi and blood, causing a strange resonance that accelerated everyone’s heartbeat. It pounded as if about to burst from their chests, and their qi and blood dissipated at that moment. The surrounding air thickened and breathing became laborious. Slash! Slash! Slash! Three heads soared into the air, accompanied by spurting blood, and rolled onto the ground. "Who are you? Why are you so strong?" The Celestial Eagle King was deeply shaken. The Eighteen Eagle Kings, each with the power to slay exotic beasts like the Grassland Eagle King from eight hundred meters away, possessed formidable strength themselves, none weaker than the Inner Power Realm level. Besides himself, newly among Second-class Experts, five had reached the Third-class Expert level. Facing the attack of several people, he had to struggle, soon facing defeat. Yet the person before him, seemingly just a youth based on appearance, possessed strength so high it made him shudder. Second-class Expert, or... First-class? *Bai Ziyue did not answer, fighting with wild frenzy, his heart flooded with heroic fervor.* He swung his knife again and again, each strike lethal! This feeling of fighting fiercely inspired him, and as his blood boiled, his battle power was fully released. The Celestial Eagle King’s face shifted drastically; in a short time, seven or eight of his people had fallen to Bai Ziyue’s hand, reducing the Eighteen Eagle Kings to ten in the blink of an eye... "Hmm?" As rage welled up, his eyes suddenly brightened. Opportunity! The Eighteen Eagle Kings, ruling over the plains across eight hundred miles, certainly did not gain their reputation without merit. Ruthless with their enemies, even more so with themselves. Bai Ziyue’s long knife cut through a Third-class Expert’s weapon with ease and embedded into the opponent’s collarbone. But at that moment, his opponent, crazed and resolute, endured unimaginable pain to clasp his Black God Saber with force. This instant, he sacrificed his life, ultimately granting his fellows a moment of opportunity.
