Chapter Thirty-Six: Hou Yi Shoots Down the Suns

  The Hou Tu tribe had two great shamans, one was Kua Fu and the other was Hou Yi.

  The people of the Wu tribe are born with divine power, and Hou Yi has been studying archery diligently since his birth. His archery skills have reached a level that shocks heaven and earth and moves ghosts and gods to tears, and can be said to be unparalleled in the world.

  Hou Yi was so focused on studying archery that he became taciturn and introverted, with a somewhat lonely temperament, having few friends within the You tribe.

  Kua Fu and Xing Tian, on the other hand, were men of bold character. Such a personality easily wins people's favor, so Hou Yi soon became friends with Kua Fu and Xing Tian, like good brothers.

  Because Chentian was not a member of Hou Tu's tribe, he did not live with Kuafu and Hou Yi.

  Chui and Hou Yi often competed with each other to improve their physical strength.

  Not long ago, Hou Yi met a woman in the human world named Chang'e. Chang'e was beautiful beyond compare, kind and pure, with a gentle smile always on her face. Her smile made Hou Yi feel warm inside, and once he saw her, he fell deeply into her smile and couldn't pull himself out.

  After that, the two became affectionate, and Hou Yi took Chang'e back to the Wu tribe. Coincidentally, when the Ten Golden Crows appeared in the tribe, Hou Yi returned with Chang'e to the human world, so he did not know about Kuafu chasing after the Golden Crow.

  Just as Kuafu was chasing after the Golden Crow, a witch from the Wu tribe immediately rushed to the human tribe to inform Hou Yi.

  After Hou Yi learned that Kuafu had been chasing the Golden Crow for some time, he didn't say a word, picked up his bow and arrow, and flew in the direction of Kuafu's flight. Behind him, only one voice was heard, "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."

  Hou Yi turned around with a smile, didn't say much, instantly unfolded his body shape, and flew towards the west at full speed.

  Soon after, Hou Yi appeared in the place where Kuafu fell, and from a distance, he saw that Kuafu was already dead. Moreover, Kuafu's vital energy had been completely drained away. Hou Yi was filled with grief and indignation, and seeing those golden crows about to fly away, he angrily took up his bow and arrow, "Whoosh." One arrow shot towards the last of the golden crows flying in the distance.

  The bow is made with the spine of a Qilin as its arm, and the main tendon of a python as its string. The power of this bow is unmatched, its range is endless, and when it shoots an arrow, it's like lightning, no one can dodge it. It's called "Shocking Heaven".

  At the time of refining, it was during the great war between witches and monsters, so the arrow was named Shooting Sun. The body of the arrow was made from a piece of Xuanyuan's ice crystal that Hou Yi obtained from the bottom of the North Sea, which would not melt for ten thousand years. It was mixed with Xuanti iron sand, Taizhen fine gold, and Shoushan red copper to create the arrow. The feathers were taken from the tail of the giant bird Fengbo, and the arrowhead was made from the sharp fangs of a sealed monster. The feathers gathered the essence of the wind, making the arrow fly even faster, and the sealed fangs were extremely sharp, able to pierce through stone and metal, leaving nothing unbroken.

  The fifth of the ten golden crows, already seriously injured from being beaten by Zhuā Fù during their fight and flying at the back, was thinking about how to take revenge on the Wu tribe after recovering from his wounds. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, looked down and saw an arrowhead protruding from his chest, heard several of his brothers seemingly shouting something, opened his mouth wanting to speak with them but only let out a mournful cry before falling to the ground, his true spirit gone.

  At this time, Emperor Jun, who was in the Heavenly Court and was cultivating, suddenly felt a inexplicable pain in his heart, his heart tightened, making his face somewhat distorted. Immediately after that, he was shocked to realize that something big must have happened, otherwise why would he feel heartache?

  He hastily calculated with his fingers, but suddenly discovered that the heavenly machine had been obscured by someone. Emperor Jun's face turned ugly at once, and he secretly said in his heart that it was not good. With his own super-accurate sacred cultivation, he couldn't even calculate the heavenly machine. Emperor Jun knew that this was the work of a saint, or perhaps Emperor Jiang of the Wu tribe. However, Emperor Jiang and his people were not skilled at such things, so Emperor Jun believed it was the handiwork of a saint. Not daring to delay, he hastily rushed towards Taiyi's residence.

  The nine golden crows flying in front were discussing the gains and losses of this war, when suddenly a "whooshing" sound was heard. Turning their heads to look back, they saw that Old Five, who was flying at the very back, had already been hit by an arrow. Just as they cried out "Fifth Brother!", they saw Old Five fall to the ground. Before they could even grieve, three more "whooshing" sounds were heard, and three more golden crows fell to the ground, dead from arrow wounds.

  "Second Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, it's all because of me that you've been harmed!" The Tenth Prince shouted loudly.

  After finishing speaking, he raised his head to see the Third Prince rushing towards Hou Yi. The Third Prince shouted: "Bastard, I'm going to kill you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was also shot by an arrow and fell to the ground.

  The Eldest Prince looked and shouted "Old Three!", then turned his head to the remaining three Golden Crows and said, "Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, Tenth Brother, hurry up and run, let Father Emperor avenge us."

  He then turned around and rushed towards Hou Yi, trying to hold him back and give his three brothers a chance to escape. However, he was no match for Hou Yi's divine archery and was shot down by an arrow from Hou Yi.

  The many golden crows had already been injured when they fought against Kuafu earlier, and now how could they be the opponent of Hou Yi? Thus in a short moment, several golden crows were shot.

  At this time, Lao Si pulled Lao Qi and Lao Shi to desperately fly towards the Heavenly Court. Suddenly, he felt a darkness in front of him, and a large net had already blocked their escape route. Even his own Sun True Fire couldn't burn it down.

  Hou Yi saw that the remaining Golden Crows wanted to escape to Heaven, so he raised the Cold Ice Lotus Water Curtain to block their way.

  Even if the Frost Silk Umbrella was only woven with frost silkworm silk, it would still be impossible to block the three Golden Crows. However, this Frost Silk Umbrella happened to have been added with the leftover Gengjin Ying from Hou Yi's arrow manufacturing, and a drop of Gong Gong's Zu Wu's blood, which was infinitely amplified by the Zu Wu's blood being born of gold, thus it was not something that could be broken by the immature true fire of the sun from the few Golden Crows.

  The fourth brother saw that the treasure was blocking his way, and he couldn't break it himself, so he pulled his two younger brothers to try to dodge it. However, no matter where they flew, the net followed them, and it grew bigger and bigger.

  In the midst of anxiety, another "swish" sound was heard and Old Seven also fell to the ground with an arrow. He only had time to shout "Seventh Brother" before hearing the bowstring snap again. Without thinking, he pounced onto Old Tenth's body, using his own body to block the arrow aimed at Old Tenth.

  Lao Si also died, leaving only Lao Shi stunned on the spot, dazed and at a loss, tears had already blurred his eyes. One suggestion took away the lives of nine brothers, making Lao Shi's heart ache. Now he was left alone, not knowing what to do, unable to escape unless a miracle happened.

  At this time, in the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun was sitting cross-legged on a cloud bed, holding the Hetu and Luoshu in his hands, with big sweat dripping from his face. "Puff", suddenly, Emperor Jun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

  "Big brother, what's wrong?" Taiyi and Xihua stood by, shocked, not knowing why Emperor Jun was spitting out blood, but both of them had a thread of unease in their hearts.

  "Ah, you wicked little witch, you killed my beloved son, I will never let you off!"

  Originally, Emperor Jun forcibly used the Hetu Luoshu to calculate the obscured heavenly mechanism. Although it is said that father and son are connected at heart, calculating it would also be convenient and quick. However, since it was a sacred person's doing, Emperor Jun also spent some effort and suffered internal injuries before finally calculating it out. The result of the calculation made Emperor Jun furious - nine of his ten sons had already died.

  Xihe and Taiyi heard the words, still unaware of what was happening. Xihe stumbled and almost fainted. Emperor Jun didn't have time to say more, he directly pulled up Xihe and with Taiyi, they flashed out of the heavenly court...

  On the other hand, although he had already shot and killed nine golden crows, Hou Yi did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he became even more furious. His good brother, the great wizard, was actually plotted against by these few beasts and died here. This made Hou Yi feel extremely distressed in his heart. He drew his bow and placed an arrow on it. "Whoosh", a sound like a death lullaby rose up. The arrow feathers slid over like lightning, shooting towards Old Ten.

  The old man stared intently at the arrow flying towards him, feeling as if it was moving so slowly, inch by inch, yet his own body seemed to be out of his control, unable to move even though he wanted to, and the arrow was about to hit him.

  "Rest, my child." Just then, a loud "Dong" sound of the bell rang out, the bell ringing throughout the entire Hongyuan, even the saints outside the thirty-third heaven could hear the bell.

  Hou Yi's whole body shook violently, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His body then flew backward, flying several miles away before crashing to the ground.

  But a giant bell was standing in front of Lao Shi, it was the Dong Huang Bell. The arrow hit the Dong Huang Bell with a loud "Dong" sound, but the bell didn't suffer any damage. The arrow fell to the ground. It turned out that Emperor Jun had taken the Dong Huang Bell from Tai Yi and thrown it down to save Lao Shi in mid-air.

  Then, the figures of Di Jun, Tai Yi and Xihe descended in front of Old Ten. Di Jun's face was pale and twisted, his body's solar essence fire dancing wildly, clearly he was thoroughly enraged now; Xihe was the same, her face bloodless, her complexion wan and haggard, as if she had aged decades all at once. As for Tai Yi, his face was also deathly pale, looking extremely unpleasant, he and Di Jun were brothers, these ten Golden Crows were raised by him, now nine were gone, only one remained, how could he not be enraged? Those were his nephews.

  "Mother, nine elder brothers... waaahhh... it's all my fault..." Old Tenth burst into tears in Xihe's arms, secretly blaming himself.

  Xihe was also in great grief, with ten sons, now only one is left. Xihe held her only son and tears kept flowing out.

  Di Jun looked at the grieving mother and son, and couldn't help but shed tears. As the mighty Heavenly Emperor, he couldn't even protect his own child, so how could he possibly safeguard the entire demon clan?

  If you can't handle this matter properly, the demon clan will inevitably have internal strife. When the time comes for the thousand-year period to arrive, the extinction of the demon clan is not far off.

  Taiyi saw Emperor Jun and was only sorrowful, with no other action, but suddenly, he directly picked up the Donghuang Bell and wanted to throw it at Hou Yi, intending to destroy him. However, he was restrained by Emperor Jun. Taiyi was puzzled, "Big brother, you..."

  Di Jun did not speak, but his face was twisted in a scowl, gritting his teeth at Hou Yi, "Hou Yi, you killed nine of my sons, aren't you afraid of triggering the Great War between gods and monsters?"

  Hou Yi burst out laughing, with tears welling up in his eyes, but he forced them back and pointed at the corpse of Kua Fu lying in the distance. "Look, that's who it is," he said. "The great shaman of my tribe, murdered by your ten little beasts. Before that, they killed countless members of my tribe. They deserved to die. Even if this leads to a war between our tribes, it will be because of your ten beastly children, not me, Hou Yi."

  Di Jun heard this and couldn't help but get angry for a moment, but Hou Yi's next sentence "You beast" made Di Jun's face turn purple with rage, his whole body trembling.

  Taiyi was an impatient person, and upon hearing this, he wanted to ring the Donghuang Bell again and kill Hou Yi. However, he was stopped once more by Emperor Jun. Taiyi was somewhat angry - after all, his killing of Hou Yi had been to avenge Emperor Jun's son, but now Emperor Jun was repeatedly blocking him. "Big brother, what are you doing?" Taiyi's voice was cold, and even sent chills down one's spine.

  Xihe also became anxious and said, "Sir, why don't you let Taiyi kill this little man?"

  Di Jun said, "He can't be killed now."

  Di Jun already knew the ins and outs of this matter, now Hou Yi had accumulated countless merits, he couldn't be killed lightly. With a cold face, he said to Hou Yi, "Hou Yi, you killed my son, I will make you wish you were dead."
