Chapter 1894: The End of the Strong

The arrogant archer general was utterly bewildered. He had never imagined that his most prized archery skill would be so easily defeated in front of Xu Yang. What's more, the mysterious figure who had been guarding Xu Yang had not even revealed its true aura from beginning to end.

"Master, my task is complete. The rest is for you to handle personally."

Xu Yang, with his hands clasped behind his back, nodded with a satisfied smile. After receiving his approval, the Dragon Vein Totem's aura vanished once more. However, such a display truly stunned everyone around them.

If anyone had seen Lan Ling'er's extremely shy expression at that moment, they would likely have burst out laughing. This esteemed young lady of the Changyun Heavenly Sect now wished she could find a hole to crawl into, because she had just shamelessly tried to win over Xu Yang and the powerful members of his team.

Yet, just moments ago, the power of the mysterious guardian summoned by Xu Yang out of thin air had probably already matched that of a true Martial God-level expert.

However, Martial God-level power, in front of Xu Yang, didn't even qualify to fight alongside him. It merely served to silently guard Xu Yang in a subordinate role. How could such a noble and powerful being be something the Changyun Heavenly Sect could possibly conquer?

Fortunately, Lan Ling'er was not the main focus on the battlefield, and no one's attention was on her. After thoroughly humiliating the opponent, Xu Yang finally began to step forward, approaching the self-proclaimed powerful archer general.

With each step he took, the incredibly regal oppressive aura emanating from Xu Yang brought an unprecedented soul-shaking impact to the archer general.

"Aren't you very confident in your archery skills? If that's the case, I'll borrow your bow and arrow and let you see with your own eyes what true archery is."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he gently waved his palm, and a powerful devouring force appeared out of thin air before the archer general. Rather than borrowing, Xu Yang simply took the opponent's personal weapon as if it were his right, clutching it in his hands.

There were no flashy movements; Xu Yang's actions at that moment looked as if he were playing with a toy bow.

But the instant he drew the bowstring and notched an arrow, and his eyes sharpened, an incredibly pure martial power rapidly converged from all directions around the space towards the center of the precious bow. The arrow, formed by the convergence of pure energy, was firmly aimed at the city gate before them.

"I want you to see clearly how this city gate behind you will be destroyed by us."

Xu Yang's voice was like a divine decree, exploding like thunder in the minds of the archer general and everyone in his team.

It was still archery, but when Xu Yang released his right hand, the martial essence he had condensed did not manifest any fancy outlines or forms. It was simply a beam of light that vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

But when this beam of light violently struck the surface of the hundred-meter-tall city wall, an unimaginable explosive force instantly spread out. In a single blow, it carved a monstrous hole into the massive city wall, which was a hundred meters high and nearly ten meters thick.

"How is this possible?"

Everyone was dumbfounded by Xu Yang's attack, frozen in place.

Lan Ling'er couldn't help but gasp, her understanding once again challenged by Xu Yang's immense power.

"My god, how is anyone supposed to live like this? This guy seems to have accomplishments in every cultivation field. I thought he was just a pure swordsman, but now it seems any kind of treasure in his hands can bring forth the power to turn decay into wonder. Just what is Xu Yang's origin? Is he truly what they call a god?"

Lan Ling'er's current emotional state was not much different from that of a fangirl utterly smitten with a male idol. She probably hadn't even realized yet that she was completely powerless against Xu Yang's charm.

Yet, just as everyone was still reeling from Xu Yang's arrow tearing a gap in the city gate, a new smile finally blossomed on Xu Yang's face. He then casually tossed the precious bow, which he had taken from the general, back.

"Brothers, you can enter the city with me now."

Xu Yang's words were light and casual. He continued to stroll leisurely towards the interior of the city, with his hands clasped behind his back. However, his teammates beside him had not yet recovered from their astonishment and confusion.

Because while Xu Yang's arrow was indeed powerful, it had only pierced through the middle of the hundred-meter-tall city gate. It would still be very difficult to squeeze through that hole and enter the imperial capital.

However, as Xu Yang's steps drew closer to the city wall, every movement of his seemed to transmit a very unique rhythm.

Unbeknownst to them, Xu Yang was using his Law of Earth, allowing a powerful resonant force to gather within his steps. Each seemingly uneventful step he took was capable of delivering an unimaginable shock to the surrounding city walls.

Driven by this rhythm, every massive stone in the towering city wall generated an incredibly strong force against each other every second. Propelled by this force, the seemingly intact city wall was doing much more than simply breaking open a hole out of thin air.

Every brick and stone in the parts of the wall that still appeared to be cohesive was enduring unimaginable, terrifying pressure. Finally, the first crack appeared on the surface of the massive city gate as Xu Yang continued to advance.

Following this, more and more fissures spread, and the rumbling, trembling sounds grew clearer. Only then did the teammates behind him recover from their previous stunned expressions.

"So that's it! Boss's arrow was far more than just a display of authority. Although it outwardly appeared to be just a damaged hole, this towering city wall had lost all defensive capability from the moment that arrow struck it."

For a full dozen seconds, which completely overturned the archer general's understanding of Xu Yang's ultimate power, he watched wide-eyed as Xu Yang casually walked past him, and then clearly heard the inexplicable sound of the hundred-meter-tall wall collapsing behind him.

Along with the wall behind him, what also collapsed was the archer general's belief in his own absolute power.

He finally realized from this mysterious young man that there would always be a class of people in this world whom he could never hope to match.

Whether it was the peak of Mahayana or a true Martial God, none of them were the true end of a powerful individual's journey.
