A figure suddenly shot out of the base of the distant mountain.
Bang!
The bundle of bloody mist burst apart, covering almost an almost hundred-foot area by the foot of the mountain. The rocks, boulders, trees, and grasses suffered terrifying corrosive effects, leaving them riddled with holes.
However, Su Yi and his companions immediately locked onto that moving figure.
He was a young man dressed in black beast skins, with fair skin and handsome features that looked hewn out of stone.?He had an extremely strong, healthy physique, and his aura was fierce and cold. He carried a bow carved of a beast’s bone, and it was half as tall as he was. A beast skin quiver hung at his waist.
His eyes shone with faint silvery light, flashing imposingly as he looked around.
“Feng Zidu!”
Wen Xinzhao and the others immediately recognized the young man dressed in beast skins.
Feng Zidu was a first-class figure even among monsters of the ancient era; he’d taken sixth place in the Orchid Terrace Dharma Assembly.
Rumor had it that he was a descendant of the Feng Family, a clan of yao cultivators from thirty thousand years ago. The blood of an unparalleled Heaven-Plundering Sparrow flowed through his veins.
His ancestor was the Heaven-Plundering Blood Emperor, whose name shook the world thirty thousand years ago. He was famed for his speed and assassination skills.
Feng Zidu’s eyes flashed as he fixed his gaze on the distant Su Yi. “I wouldn’t have guessed that your divine sense was strong enough to detect my Traceless Blood Arrows. Are you perhaps a soul cultivator?”
His tone carried a hint of surprise.
The Traceless Blood Arrows were one of his trump cards. They were refined from the poisonous fangs of the strange primordial beast, the Solitary Void Serpent. When fired, they were silent, traceless, colorless, and immaterial; they were perfectly suited for catching?foes?off guard.
When used to ambush foes, they could easily kill even Spiritual Manifestation Realm cultivators!
Feng Zidu initially assumed that even if Su Yi managed to block his ambush, he’d at least get injured. He would never have guessed that Su Yi could detect the Traceless Blood Arrow’s presence!
Su Yi couldn’t be bothered to waste words. He raised his hand and sent a streak of sword qi flying through the air.
Whoosh!
A streak of clear sword qi flashed and disappeared.
Over at the foot of the mountain, Feng Zidu’s eyelids twitched. He dodged, shooting to the side like a streak of black lightning.
Bang!
A perfectly straight rift appeared in the place he’d originally stood. It was a startling sight.
Before Feng Zidu could steady himself, yet another streak of sword qi came flying toward him. It was unbelievably quick, and its edge glinted with unstoppable sharpness. He felt a prickling pain all over his skin, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
Whoosh!
Feng Zidu?dodged once more.
The sword qi swept past his ears, severing a few strands of hair. When it cleaved into the mountain behind him, it cut through the rock as easily as if it were made of tofu.
Feng Zidu’s hair stood on end, and a chill coursed down his spine.?This guy’s attainments in the Dao of the Sword are just too terrifying!
“So, you practice an inheritance of the Dao of Elusive Shadows…”
When he saw Feng Zidu dodge his long-distance attack, Su Yi was a bit surprised.
A moment later, he realized that Feng Zidu’s ability was a fusion of the Dao Charm of Wind and the Dao Charm of Darkness, the Dao Charm of Elusive Shadows.
This was a peerless Dao Charm when it came to speed!
Combined with a suitable secret movement technique, this peerless Dao Charm enabled cultivators to reach unbelievable speeds.
“Su Yi, I have no desire to be your enemy. I struck earlier as a warning. I wanted you to understand that I, Feng Zidu, was the first to?discover the good?fortune here.”
Feng Zidu gripped his bone bow, stood atop a boulder, and said gravely, “If you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened. Or else…”
Before he could finish, Su Yi said calmly, “It’s just a struggle over good fortune. Is there any need for all that nonsense?”
“Hah?” Feng Zidu laughed coldly, his gray eyes flashing with murderous light.
He grabbed another seven-inch black arrow from his quiver, strung his bow, and suddenly fired.
Kccch!
The little black arrow silently disappeared.
Su Yi didn’t even look for it. He just stretched out his hand and?grabbed.
The air three feet from Wen Xinzhao suddenly churned violently. A seven-inch black arrow stopped in midair, trapped firmly in Su Yi’s grip.
A chill coursed down Wen Xinzhao’s spine.
She was already prepared for battle, but she didn’t expect the next arrow would be directed at her!
It was only when Su Yi attacked that she sensed the danger. Her instincts alerted her to an extremely lethal threat.
But just as she was about to counterattack, Su Yi stopped the Traceless Blood Arrow mid-flight!
Only a moment had passed, but the perils therein were enough to shake both her heart and her soul.
When Ge Qian and Yue Shichan saw this, their hearts quivered with fright. The Traceless Blood Arrow was unquestionably sinister and terrifying!
If Su Yi weren’t here, relying on their abilities alone, they’d at best be able to block the arrowhead. They couldn’t possibly clash head-on with someone as powerful as Feng Zidu.
Like any incomparably mighty assassin, Feng Zidu wouldn’t clash with a target head-on. Instead, he used his archery and speed to present a lethal threat.
“Hng!” The distant Feng Zidu snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with bright light. He took out nine more Traceless Blood Arrows and fired them all in one go.
Chi Chi Chi!
Nine Traceless Blood Arrows disappeared into thin air.
Any other cultivator would have long since fled in panic; there was no way they could detect any trace of the arrows’ presence or trajectory.
However, Su Yi could clearly detect the arrows’ traces with his divine sense.
Eight arrows were divided between four targets. In other words, he, Ge Qian, Wen Xinzhao, and Yue Shichan would all have to face two Traceless Blood Arrows!
The most terrifying part was that each arrow had a different trajectory. Some flew perfectly straight, while others took a roundabout route. Some soared up before falling, while others stuck close to the ground, like a swallow skimming the surface of the water.
As for the final arrow? It was headed at the Yin-Yang Divine Fire Lotus at the center of the lake.
Every arrow was preternaturally quick, and each followed a different trajectory. This left their targets with no time to think at all.
This was an unquestionably ruthless onslaught!
But then, Su Yi’s sleeves billowed around him, and he suddenly slashed through the air in rapid succession.
Boom!
A sword curtain flew through the air like a divine barrier.
Bang bang bang!
Three Traceless Blood Arrows immediately collided with the sword curtain, producing low booms on impact and scattering sparks.
As for Su Yi himself? He’d already taken to the skies. His fingers tapped, sliced, stabbed, and cleaved. With each attack, a Traceless Blood Arrow burst apart.
He struck like lightning, crushing all nine Traceless Blood Arrows in one fell swoop!
He then waved his sleeves.
Boom!
A terrifying power swept through like a windstorm.
The bloody mist that followed the nine Traceless Blood Arrows’ explosion was swept away.
Like winds dispersing remnant clouds!
Just watching left his companions stunned and repeatedly astonished.
It was then that Feng Zidu bellowed, “Get him!”
Before his voice finished echoing through the air—
Boom!
The lakeshore was covered in thick ice. The patch closest to Su Yi suddenly burst apart, scattering fragments of ice. An unstoppably sharp spear suddenly stabbed.
This sudden assassination attempt was swift, accurate, and ruthless!
By the time Su Yi’s companions sensed it, it had already run him through.
Their hearts clenched, and they completely lost their composure. They couldn’t help but shout:
“Brother Su!”
“Brother Su!”
“Your Excellency!”
It had all happened too suddenly. Who’d have thought another insidious, terrifying opponent lurked beneath the ice?
Before they knew what was happening, his companions heard a calm, familiar voice. “What’s all the shouting for? I’m not dead yet.”
They then realized that “Su Yi” the spear had run through was actually just an afterimage, not his real body.
As for the real deal? Su Yi now stood atop the shattered ice. He gripped the spear tightly and swung.
Bang!
The other end of the spear flew out of the ice, along with the person holding it.
The spearman was a short, gaunt man in black. When Su Yi pulled him out of his hiding spot, he immediately gave up his spear, turned, and fled.
He suddenly realized that his neck hurt. A large hand held him aloft by the throat. The terrifying power emanating from the hand instantly immobilized him.
He was completely helpless; he couldn’t so much as lift a finger. He completely lost his composure; he was so scared that his soul almost left his body.
“Save me!” The man in black couldn’t help but cry out.
But then, Su Yi’s right hand twirled the spear he’d just seized. Its tip stabbed ruthlessly through the ice off to the side.
Boom!
The ice burst apart, fragments scattering like rain.
A miserable, piteous shriek resounded from beneath the broken ice.
Shortly after, the cries came to an abrupt halt.
Upon closer inspection, there was someone hiding underneath. He was hunched over like a cat, and he held a black knife. It was obvious that he’d planned to charge out and ambush them.
Yet now, the spear Su Yi had just thrown had pierced his throat, pinning him firmly to the ground. His eyes widened. Bewilderment was written all over his face.
For the life of him, he couldn’t understand how Su Yi had detected him even under such circumstances…
Bloody mist permeated the air. The entire area was deathly silent.
The black-robed man Su Yi had by the throat was completely dazed.
Not far away, Wen Xinzhao, Yue Shichan, and Ge Qian broke out in cold sweats. Their expressions shifted erratically.
It had all happened too quickly, and everything had been so dangerous! contemporary romance
First, Feng Zidu fired nine arrows in rapid succession, attacking from afar. Then, when they’d only just neutralized this onslaught, the man in black suddenly emerged from the ice and targeted Su Yi with his spear.
This was unexpected to begin with, and it caught them off guard, but it was as if Su Yi had precognition. He dodged in advance, and the spear only pierced his afterimage.
And its wielder, the man in black? Su Yi captured him in one smooth motion.
But none of them would have guessed that yet another figure hid beneath the ice!
It was one potentially fatal calamity after another. Each instance came with a very real threat to their lives. Su Yi’s companions knew that on their own, they would likely have fallen already.
Yet none of this was any threat to Su Yi at all. In the blink of an eye, he neutralized the multi-layered ambush with ease!
That casual, composed bearing shook the hearts and minds of everyone present!
Feng Zidu stood on a boulder near the foot of the mountain. His eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but mutter, “How is this possible…?”
Disbelief was written all over his face. Earlier, he’d been confident that with the trap he’d set here, even someone as mighty as Su Yi, Huan Shaoyou, Yan Jingyun, Jing Lingzhen, or Mo Xingzhe would suffer grievous injuries, and that’s assuming they even lived.
Who’d have thought that Su Yi would break through this multi-layered ambush with such casual ease?
“Got anything else up your sleeves?” Su Yi glanced at the distant Feng Zidu with great interest.
As he spoke, he pinched.
Crunch!
The black-robed man’s neck snapped, and his head lolled limply from his shoulders.
That terrifying power had shattered him completely, body and soul.
Bang!
Su Yi tossed the corpse away. He couldn’t be bothered to spare it so much as a second glance.
