Chapter Seventy-four: Hou Yi, the God of Archery

  Struck by the nine ghostly heads of the Ghost Carriage, Hou Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, but immediately got back up, wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, with an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

  "Haha!" Hou Yi looked at the ghost car without a hint of fear and said loudly.

  The ghost car let out a cold hum, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. The ghost car suddenly charged backwards, the nine ghost heads were released again, and the bloody aura spread out, using its full strength this time, making the attack even more ruthless than before.

  "Good timing." After that, a cold gleam flashed in Hou Yi's eyes, and he picked up the bow and arrow on the ground. As before, he shot out nine arrows in a row, but this time, the nine arrows did not separate to attack, but instead all flew towards the ghost head at the front. The nine arrows formed a straight line, transforming into a starlight beam that emitted waves of cold air, making it impossible for people to look directly at it.

  "Not good." The ghost car was suddenly shocked, not expecting Hou Yi's archery skills to be so superb. Nine arrows were shot out and actually stacked on top of each other, increasing their power exponentially. The ghost car felt a strong threat and didn't dare to resist head-on, hurriedly controlling the frontmost ghost head to dodge, but found that it was locked onto by Hou Yi's aura and had become somewhat slow.

  Time was running out, and in an instant, all nine arrows were shot. A loud crash was heard, followed by a blood-curdling scream. The ghostly head flying at the front was instantly pierced by the nine connected arrows, creating a mist of blood. That ghostly head suddenly lost its life and fell to the ground, severely injuring the ghost carriage. The other eight ghostly heads also suffered a loss of momentum and no longer attacked Hou Yi.

  "Good calculation." At this time, all the monks in the temple came out and couldn't help but admire Hou Yi's tactics. The nine arrows Hou Yi shot out earlier were much more powerful than the first nine arrows he shot out, it seems that the witch tribe's combat awareness is very high, even a great witch knows to show weakness to the enemy first, then strike a fatal blow. Although he didn't completely kill the ghost car, he also made him lose a ghost head and suffer serious injuries.

  "Ghost car!" Emperor Jun Tai exclaimed, unexpectedly the miserable cry just now was actually made by the ghost car. Originally in a dominant position, how did the situation change suddenly? They all wanted to go up and check the situation.

  "What's going on? You two want to ruin the martial arts competition, but you have to ask us if we agree first." Emperor Jiang suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way.

  The two of them stared at Emperor Jiang, their eyes almost spewing fire, "Do you think Hou Yi can win easily? Gui Che's strength is ranked among the top three of the Ten Great Demon Generals. If we continue to stalemate, even if we can't kill Hou Yi, it will be a situation where both sides suffer."

  "Oh? You're so confident in the Ghost Car, well, I'm also very confident in Hou Yi. Let them continue to fight on, regardless of life or death." As he said this, a fierce battle intent burst forth from Emperor Jiang's eyes.

  Di Jun's eyes also became sharp, and his body burst out with a strong aura.

  "Alright, since Wu Di is so confident, then let's all stay out of it. Life and death will depend on individual skills."

  The conversation between the two fell into the ears of a monk on the side, and suddenly there was a bad premonition. The witch and the demon tribe are afraid that they will really go to war.

  Chang Xi had been observing Hou Yi in the arena, and saw that he had fresh blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were filled with a strong desire to fight, standing straight there. Her heart was moved, and she also heard the words of Di Jun and Di Jiang, her heart suddenly became worried, stupid big guy, you absolutely cannot die. However, she didn't realize that at some point, she had already developed some concern for Hou Yi.

  "You, must die!" At this time, the ghost car decisively abandoned the ghost head that was shot through by Hou Yi. The nine heads instantly became eight, and the chaotic true yuan inside also stabilized, reducing the injury by a lot.

  The ghost car was shrouded in a bloody aura, and the eight heads returned, instantly transforming into a large bird-like image. It no longer used the eight heads to attack, but instead directly charged at Hou Yi with its bloody aura, which seemed to have a physical presence as it pounced on him, making it difficult for him to defend himself.

  This time, the image is similar to the second form of Jiufeng Dazhen. Hou Yi thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to slow down his hands, drawing arrows and shooting them out one after another. Nine arrows were shot out again, but they didn't enter the bloody atmosphere, and their power was greatly reduced. At the same time, the ghost car's eight heads spewed out countless vengeful spirits, which instantly wrapped around the arrows Hou Yi had shot over, dissolving them into nothingness in an instant.

  "This is the vengeful spirit of a cultivator!" Hou Yi's anger flared up instantly. From the moment they were born, Emperor Jiang had taught them to harbor good intentions and not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Although Hou Yi and his companions had found it very annoying at the time, they still buried some good intentions in their hearts. Now, seeing so many vengeful spirits being refined into divine powers by the ghost cart and losing their chance to reincarnate, how could he not be angry? In an instant, he didn't care about the difference in strength, drew his bow, charged forward, and directly wanted to engage in close combat with the ghost cart.

  "Good arrival." The ghost car revealed a cruel smile, and the eight ghost heads sprayed again, countless vengeful spirits flew out, making a mournful sound, flying towards Hou Yi. At the same time, the bloody aura around him became even more intense.

  These mournful vengeful spirits made many of the watching monks change color, thinking that their own strength was weak and small, and wondering if they would also be caught by the ghost car and refined into vengeful spirits in the future. In an instant, they lost a lot of good feelings towards the demon tribe.

  Hou Yi's body emitted a powerful aura, the more angry he was, the stronger his combat power became. Suddenly, Hou Yi flew into the bloody atmosphere, and with one punch, he knocked open the vengeful spirit that was rushing towards him. At the same time, his fist transformed into fingers, and an arrow of energy shot out from between his two fingers, heading straight for one of the ghost chariot's skulls. This was Hou Yi condensing the power of his inner archery, directly using it as a means of attack. Although he didn't have an arrow to serve as a medium, the might was still considerable, and the damage was also noteworthy. The ghost chariot did not dare to resist head-on.

  Two people fought in a ball, although Hou Yi's physical strength was strong, but he couldn't withstand the deep magic of Gui Che, and he had to deal with the invasion of bloody gas and countless vengeful spirits. The attack method of Gui Che was also skilled, eight heads cooperated with each other, from time to time biting out a blood mark on his body, and suddenly suppressed himself at a disadvantage.

  "It's over!" The ghost car said coldly all of a sudden.

  Hou Yi was taken aback, and immediately shouted "Not good!", only to see the eight ghostly chariots flying out again, instantly overlapping each other, forming a golden ghost head, revealing sharp teeth, and biting towards him in an instant.

  Hou Yi dodged and weaved, but was bitten on the shoulder by the golden ghost head. Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard, and with a single pull, the golden ghost head tore off Hou Yi's shoulder along with his bones and flesh. A stream of fresh blood gushed out from Hou Yi's shoulder like flowing water.

  "Hou Yi!" The first to exclaim in surprise was not the witch tribe, but Chang Xi from the sidelines. One shout, and the whole scene was shocked.

  "This is just a minor injury for our tribe, why is she in such a hurry." Gonggong muttered to himself.

  "Estimated she has taken a liking to Hou Yi." Zhu Rong guessed very seriously.

  The scene below was also filled with whispers, discussing Chang Xi, this demon tribe's quasi-saint, who was actually worried about a great witch doctor. This couldn't help but ignite the endless gossip fire of the bored cultivators in the desolate wilderness. Meanwhile, Dong Huang Tai Yi's face on the side had turned black with rage, his anger even more intense than when Emperor Jiang slapped him earlier.

  Hou Yi endured the pain, his face turned pale, and he looked in the direction of the shouting. He immediately discovered a worried Chang Xi. Without feeling any joy, there was only endless bitterness. If Chang Xi didn't have any feelings for him, perhaps he would feel more at ease. Now that he found out how much Chang Xi cared about him, his heart was even more tormented. A demon and a witch, both with prestigious identities, unless she gave up her demonic identity or he gave up his witch identity, otherwise, they could never be together.

  Thinking of this, Hou Yi's heart was not pleasant, and his whole body emitted a faint sorrow, and his mood suddenly weakened.

  "You dare to fight me and still try to play tricks, looking for death." The terrifying voice of the ghost car came, and the golden ghost head flew again, but was blocked by Hou Yi's hand, not biting into his body. Even so, Hou Yi still spat out a mouthful of blood, being knocked flying far away by the ghost head's impact.

  "You're going to die." Hou Yi said coldly as he got up again. He slowly took off the bow and arrow from his back, gathered his spiritual power, and began to draw the bowstring. At the same time, he thought of Chang Xi's figure in his mind, and the sorrowful aura on his body grew thicker, and it actually started to merge with the power of the arrow path. Suddenly, a "whooshing" sound was heard, and Hou Yi's physical realm broke through with this, reaching the peak of Daluo Jinxian in one go.

  The ghost car was shocked, breaking through in the battle! Not daring to hesitate, he immediately stuck it on, preventing Hou Yi from shooting this arrow. He felt a deep sense of fear in this arrow.

  Unfortunately, it was too late. A starlight flashed, and the arrow on Hou Yi's hand disappeared. The ghost car only felt a surge of sorrowful negative emotions in its primordial spirit, and its body suddenly became sluggish. The next moment, the arrow hit the golden ghost head, and a loud noise erupted. The ghost car let out a miserable cry, and the golden ghost head dispersed, turning back into eight evil spirits' skulls.

  "Be careful." Taiyi's loud shout came, but it was a bit late. Eight more arrows shot out, each seeking a head, shooting out fiercely.

  The ghost car had just awakened, seeing eight arrows shooting towards it, which couldn't dodge, and was suddenly shocked. At the same time, a wave of sad emotions surged in its mind again, seriously affecting its movements, but there was no chance to resist.

  All eight arrows shot through the Ghost Head's Mud Ball Palace, bringing up a bloody mist. Whether it was the true Primordial Spirit or the fake one, they were all blasted open by Hou Yi's shots. The ghost cart let out a dull hum and fell to the ground, and a True Spirit flew out of its body, flying towards the Wheel of Reincarnation. However, the True Spirit didn't fly far before another arrow shot over, instantly annihilating this fragile True Spirit.

  "It's not right for those with deep karma to exist in this world." Hou Yi said calmly as he watched the Ghost Car True Spirit disappear.

  This scene took place in the blink of an eye, and many low-level cultivators didn't even see what happened. However, Emperor Taiyi saw it clearly, including Hou Yi's destruction of that true spirit, his face suddenly turned black.

  "As expected of a witch from our tribe, you're indeed decisive." Gonggong and several others burst out laughing, making Emperor Juntao even more furious.

  Dì Jiāng was also in a great mood at this time, and he nodded slightly. This Hou Yi had indeed not let him down.

  A great Luojin Xian peak master thus perished in the vast wilderness, and the cultivators below couldn't help but sigh. Zhunti led the chanting of Buddha's name, revealing a compassionate expression, and thought to himself: Under the weight of time, even a great Luojin Xian is just like a withered grass.

  "Hou Yi's little one, return my brother's life to me."

  At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A dark-skinned man with a face like a pot bottom and holding a wolf-toothed club in his hand suddenly jumped into the scene, his eyes fiercely staring at Hou Yi, as if he had a deep hatred.

  Hou Yi sized him up and recognized his identity, saying calmly: "Great Yao Chai Tie, is it that you feel the weight of your karma and have come to accept death?"

  "Enrage me!" Qi Xie was furious, transforming into his true form - a long, ugly and evil-looking beast resembling a water buffalo with huge horns and shiny black fur. Without another word, he charged at Hou Yi.

  "Come back!" Emperor Jun was shocked, he didn't expect this iron-faced man to be so arrogant and dare to challenge him without his own orders. With his cultivation as a late-stage Golden Immortal, wasn't he just asking for death?

  Just as he was about to step forward and stop him, Emperor Jiang took a step out and blocked his way.

  At this moment, the two men on the field had already fought together. Only to see Hou Yi pick up his bow and arrow, shooting three arrows in a row, which blocked Tie Mei's path of advance.

  This iron eater feeds on iron and has a strong body, but with the precedent of the ghost car, it doesn't dare to resist hard. Just as it was about to dodge, a wave of melancholic emotions came over, and suddenly it became dull. The iron eater was shocked, only then did it understand why the ghost car couldn't avoid Hou Yi's arrow, there was actually such a trick inside.

  Before he could be surprised, only to hear a loud noise, three arrows had already hit his body, and three blood holes appeared on his chest and shoulders. He was pierced by Hou Yi's three arrows. Although his body was strong, he also suffered a serious injury.

  Afraid of being shot with an arrow, knowing he was no match for Hou Yi, he didn't think much and immediately ran down to the field, wanting to hide among the crowd.

  However, Hou Yi's arrows were incredibly fast, and with a whooshing sound, nine arrows shot out in a row, forming a straight line. This was Hou Yi's strongest divine power, the Nine Arrows of Connected Pearls. Just as Tie Gang had taken two steps back, a feeling of sorrow reappeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel terrified. But the next moment, he lost consciousness.

  The cultivators below looked up and saw Hou Yi's nine arrows merge into a single starlight, instantly piercing the iron mud palace of Zha Tie, not even allowing the true spirit to escape before being annihilated by the heavens. One by one, the cultivators couldn't help but open their mouths wide in shock, it was an instant kill, what a sharp and deadly attack! Two words involuntarily emerged in everyone's minds - "Arrow God".
