BXBX NOVEL Chapter 637: Tit for tat!
Shi Yan lifted his head while his arms positioned in the posture of drawing a bowstring. Countless star dots massively rolled from his chest to between his arms.
In just a moment, a Big Dipper Bow was formed by the star dots. Fist-sized clusters of star dots arrayed the Big Dipper. A starlight arrow was slowly condensed, then gently nocked on the bow.
Swoosh!
A shooting light crossed the sky and pierced through layers of obstacles, darting towards Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong’s spirit trembled. His Mind Perception Martial Spirit couldn’t catch Shi Yan’s thought. It couldn’t guess the trajectory of this starlight arrow.
He could only feel an imposing danger flying towards him at an unimaginable speed. It was like a dark hand that he couldn’t see, grabbing and squeezing his neck resentfully.
Qiu Hong felt suffocated. His pores were all blocked, and his face was filled with fear.
Light dots zoomed in his eyes. That light shot was like a meteorite falling from the immense galaxy, bringing with it the ancient power of the vault of heaven, shooting directly to his chest.
Qiu Hong’s visage changed dramatically. He didn’t have time to think as he urged his Mind Perception Martial Spirit, pouring all his vehement thought into the golden leaf.
The golden leaf bloomed a fierce, dazzling, golden halo. It transformed in the void, turning into many glorious golden leaves, piling up and creating a hefty shield in front of him.
Clang! Clang!
Light sparked everywhere, while the golden leaf wall was shaken. Sounds echoed like the jingling of bells.
Qiu Hong’s face suddenly reddened, as fear arose deep inside his gray eyes.
At this moment, Di Shan arrived, and started to slaughter the other warriors of the Heaven Temple.
"Old Li!" Shi Yan let out a low shout.
Li Zheng Rong reacted timely. He didn’t say anything but stormed forward. Many different types secret treasures flew out, bombarding the warriors.
At the same time, Shi Yan summoned War Devil, pointing at Qiu Hong.
War Devil turned into a shadow, disappearing into the bright sky. When it reappeared, it had already reached Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong discolored. His mind trembled. This was the first time he got scared.
He didn’t know why his Mind Perception Martial Spirit had lost its effect. He couldn’t read War Devil at all.
War Devil wasn’t a creature; it didn’t have the soul fluctuation. It was just a fighting puppet with the powers of its owner when he was still alive. The puppet’s appearance was to deal with Qiu Hong.
Qiu Hong was always dependent on his Mind Perception Martial Spirit, but it didn’t work with War Devil. At this moment, his weakness was exposed. His power wasn’t excellent enough. War Devil pushed forward, and the golden halo in front of Qiu Hong was devoured bit by bit. All of a sudden, he fell into a dark abyss.
The War Devil alone was enough to deal with him.
Li Zheng Rong and Di Shan had joined them from a far distance. Sometimes they barged in, totally subduing Qiu Hong.
Not far from them, Shi Yan turned around to look at Yang Tian Emperor. His eyes became cold and evil as his anger blazed.
He didn’t know that the more Yang Tian Emperor was pushed, the more intimidating power he could erupt with. In Shi Yan’s eyes, Yang Tian Emperor had consumed all of his flesh and blood, which indicated he had been strenuous to the acme. He was pushed until he went insane.
Comoros and Cassidy arrived here to show him that they wanted to clear the Dark Devil Clan. They also wanted to kill him – their master. To ensure the result, they had even invited the hotshot of the Dark Spirit Clan. They wanted to capture them all at once.
If Fiery Dragon and Blood-maned hadn’t supported them, even if Yang Tian Emperor had burst out his energy of desperation, they wouldn’t have been able to endure it. Perhaps, they all would have already died.
Shi Yan’s face was cold and dark. His lips curled into a freezing smile, as dazzling starlight suddenly shot out from his eyes.
The Big Dipper Bow created by the star power was drawn. Star dots started to congeal on an arrow before it shot out furiously.
Star Fall of the Big Dipper God Arrow!
This arrow was connected tightly with the stars from nine skies. Stars in the sky all twinkled, overwhelming even the bright moon.
Star dots fell like a heavy rain over their heads. Starlight condensed in the sky, turning into the fist-sized stars. They all carried an imposing star energy, moving according to the trajectory Shi Yan had in his mind, as they rumblingly bombarded Heaven Temple’s warriors.
Warriors of the Heaven Temple that came here this time didn’t have high realms. Their realms were lower than the Spirit Realm. No matter how hard they tried to dodge, they couldn’t avoid the star bombardment of the Star Fall. Starlight glowed on them as their living fluctuation faded away, and their aura disappeared.
Warriors who had the Spirit Realm had more falling stars aimed at them. All of a sudden, they found themselves confined in a star barrier. They couldn’t move, and their consciousness became hazy.
Right at this moment, Shi Yan aimed his arrow and shot it. The Big Dipper Arrow shot out like the meteor chasing after the moon. Many meteors shot out from the Big Dipper Bow at the same time, darting rapidly as if they could pierce through space, thrusting through the flesh bodies of those Heaven Temple’s warriors.
Puff Puff!
Blood splashed, as the Heaven Temple’s warriors had their bodies tattered.
Even Qiu Hong, who could see the martial technique beforehand, couldn’t gather his luck to escape. Three meteors shot at his legs, breaking his bones.
War Devil seized the chance and covered the man with its dark halo. Then, it fiercely attacked him.
Di Shan and Li Zheng Rong took the opportunity when the Heaven Temple’s warriors were disorderly panic-stricken, to harvest their lives one by one.
A magical black ball emerged from Shi Yan’s palm. Just like a wandering spirit, it moved around the dead warriors and collected their souls.
While entangling in the battle with Fiery Dragon, Comoros saw the Heaven Temple’s warriors die. He was shaken, as he wanted to throw the Yin Written Charm Scripture there so as it could absorb the souls. However, right after that, he saw the Soul Gathering Pearl had taken all the souls.
Comoros felt a chunk of blood stuck in his throat. He was so indignant that he wanted to shout and die.
He wanted to trouble Shi Yan. The reasons he wanted to kill the Dark Devil Clan, besides the humiliation, was because he wanted to collect souls through slaughtering. This would supply the energy to help their patriarch awaken.
Seeing Shi Yan using the Soul Gathering Pearl to snatch the souls of the dead warriors before they vanished, he was enraged.
"Shi Yan!"
Ji Mu and Yue Ying suddenly cried, their faces frightened.
Shi Yan glared at them with an indifferent countenance. "What?"
"Are you crazy?" Yue Ying’s eyes filled with worries. "Do you know what you are doing? If you do that, even the Cult Master can’t protect you! You’ve turned your back to the seven ancient factions! Qin Gu Chuan of the Heaven Temple would never spare your life! He will stimulate the other ancient factions to kill you, your friends, and your family!"
Yue Ying came here this time to deliver Yun Hao’s message to Shi Yan, asking them to visit the Secret Domain, where they would have a thorough discussion to see if they could find a solution to bring the Yang family to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain.
Yun Hao had such a risky plan because he appreciated Shi Yan, and wanted to gather the force of the Yang family. He had tried his best to carry out this plan.
As far as he was concerned, the alien tribes were raging here and there. If Shi Yan’s team stayed outside, they would be all dead sooner or later. It would be better if they could go to the Secret Domain and join their force to fight against the hotshots of the pagan clans.
Ji Mu and Yue Ying came here with goodwill. However, they found that Shi Yan wanted to kill the warriors of the Heaven Temple. Once this affair was revealed, Shi Yan would never have a chance to be with the seven ancient factions.
"Yes, I’m about to get crazy." Shi Yan looked calm. "I’m not going to bring my men to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. I don’t want to see us as the fish in the fish tank who will never have a chance to escape. About the other stuff... I even killed Chu Bai Qing, let alone these guys!"
"You killed him, indeed!" Qiu Hong screeched.
"True," Shi Yan stood nonchalantly. "Chu Bai Qing’s dead. Ning Du Quan’s dead. You will be dead, too. You’ve killed my people. It’s just tit for tat! People who come here today will not leave this place alive. All of you. I want to see how many warriors Heaven Temple can send here for me to kill continually!"
He continued to gather and condense the star energy as he nocked the arrows and shot them like a furious storm. He killed them one by one, except for Qiu Hong, to prove his words.
Ji Mu and Yue Ying were petrified; they were totally struck dumb. Chu Bai Qing’s death made them realize that Shi Yan was really crazy. Just like Yang Tian Emperor, he wanted a big fight at any cost.
"So... Do we need to linger here?" Ji Mu beamed a forced smile, looking at Yue Ying as he didn’t know what to say in this situation.
"You guys shouldn’t think about leaving this place, either." Shi Yan’s face became cold.
Yue Ying discolored. She got enraged immediately. "Shi Yan, you won’t spare me, will you?"
"I don’t want to disclose things happened today. No one can leave." Shi Yan was indifferent. "Before I get to know of the plans of the seven ancient factions, you have to stay where I can see you. If you guys want to go without my permission, don’t blame me for being impolite."
Ji Mu and Yue Ying were indignant, their faces grimaced.
"I have to be careful," Shi Yan was still calm. Ji Mu and Yue Ying couldn’t shake him. "I hope you will understand my worries. Going the same way with me, at this moment, isn’t a bad thing to you guys."
"Di Shan, Old Li, watch them!" Shi Yan let out a low shout. Then, he contacted the War Devil using his soul to ask it to be more watchful.
After that, his eyes turned garnet. Negative energy burst out from his body, as pallid tentacles jutted out from his pores. He looked eccentric and evil.
The Sky Destroyer divine sword appeared in his palms, and the eyes on the sword opened. An evil, destructive energy fluctuation rippled, raking through every corner from him as its core.
Qiu Hong’s soul shivered. His Mind Perception Martial Spirit sent him an intimidating fear. He felt hopeless.
"Lock!"
Shi Yan’s garnet eyes gazed at him, and then he roared suddenly.
It was as if thunder reverberated in Qiu Hong’s head. Blood dripped down from seven holes in his face while he was shaking uncontrollably.
Di Shan, War Devil, and Li Zheng Rong seized the chance to attack him. Immediately, Qiu Hong’s blood and flesh exploded. His soul was like a balloon that was blown too much and burst directly.
Shi Yan pointed at Ji Mu and Yue Ying. "Wait until the situation gets better, I won’t maltreat you. If you still want to leave, don’t blame me for being merciless."
Then, he held the Sky Destroyer divine sword, with the three snow-white Bone Thorns in his sleeves, and walked to Comoros while the pale tentacles were wiggling around his body.
The Soul Gathering Pearl floated behind him. It was dragging Qiu Hong’s soul into the bead.
Essence Qi of Qiu Hong’s group turned into invisible energy that naked eyes couldn’t observe. They were flying from everywhere and connecting with the ‘tentacles’ jutted out from his body, making his appearance more evil and frightening.
