Chapter 792: Divine Archer

Outwardly, Pulin raged, appearing as though he wanted to kill Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng. However, inwardly, he was trembling with excitement. The fact that those two ghost slaves could ascend the bloody peak and gather sacred medicine was a heaven-sent opportunity for him. Those herbs were destined to be his!

Even if he were to be reprimanded by his superiors for not being diligent enough during his inspection of the medicine garden, it wouldn't matter. If he could secretly keep the sacred medicine and divine beast blood, it would all be more than worth it.

"Don't let a single one escape! Pursue those yin spirits. They are merely servants I subjugated; how dare they rebel and flee!" Pulin commanded, urging his mount forward in pursuit.

He wore gleaming chainmail, holding a celestial halberd, and rode a beast with emerald eyes and golden pupils. Its sharp claws left terrible marks with every step, capable of shattering rocks.

"Kill!" Pulin charged at the forefront.

Behind him, five thousand cavalry roared, a symphony of human shouts and beast growls. Their armored scales shimmered, their vital energies surged, dispelling clouds, and an overwhelming positive energy rolled forth, shaking the desolate plateau.

Chu Feng, Ying Zhexian, Ouyang Feng, the silver-haired loli, and others endured the most terrifying pressure. Even from a distance, the crimson vital energy caused them irritation, chest tightness, and soul-shaking tremors, as they were naturally suppressed.

From behind, human shouts and beast neighs filled the air. The combined vital energy of the five thousand cavalry merged, resembling a crimson tidal wave crashing forward.

With a thunderous roar, as if heaven and earth were crumbling, the wilderness trembled, the earth cracked, and massive rocks exploded.

"Damn it!"

Ouyang Feng growled. The vast, ocean-like vital energy had nearly struck him; even so, smoke hissed from his body, parts of him burning.

Fortunately, they all possessed extreme speed. Chu Feng, needless to say, had mastered ancient divine techniques like "Ends of the Earth, Inches Away" and "Shrinking the Ground to an Inch."

Ouyang Feng, having evolved into his current form resembling a black swan, moved with lightning speed, his wings flapping. Even Chu Feng would struggle to catch him without exerting all his might.

Ying Zhexian was equally astonishing. Her family's deep scholarly tradition and generations of accumulated secret techniques naturally endowed her with peerless divine abilities. She sped along with her sister, like a streak of rainbow light.

"Find someone to share the damage!" Chu Feng murmured.

Ying Zhexian and Ouyang Feng nodded, instantly chasing in one direction. Their soul light seemed to burn, releasing colorful and dazzling light rain as they fled at high speed.

They pursued the Fledgling Divine Body, the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body, and the purple-haired youth, ensuring these three also fell under the overwhelming vital energy pressure from behind.

"Despicable! Shameless!"

The Fledgling Divine Body couldn't help but curse. He felt his situation was dire; this was clearly a tactic to ensnare them, meaning all three of them would also be pursued by the cavalry.

Yet, they hadn't even touched a single leaf of sacred medicine, nor had they smelled the divine beast blood. Furthermore, a companion had died for nothing, and now they were being regarded as accomplices of Chu Feng and the others. It was too unfair.

Chu Feng and the others felt no sympathy. They detested the three, who had dared to "pluck the peach halfway" and ambush them at the foot of the mountain. It was truly infuriating and hateful; they deserved to be executed!

Behind them, fierce beasts roared, and five thousand mounts galloped, making the earth tremble violently as if an earthquake had struck.

Most terrifying were the overwhelming malevolent aura and the ocean-like vital energy, surging wildly. The situation grew increasingly terrifying and perilous.

The Fledgling Divine Body, the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body, and the purple-haired youth were furious. Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng clung to them like sticky plaster, determined to share the damage.

At this point, the three whispered, and after a brief discussion, decisively changed direction. They secretly transmitted a message to Pulin, informing him that the matter had nothing to do with them.

The three did not want to be pursued and hoped Chu Feng and the others would continue to draw fire. Thus, they secretly explained themselves, then veered to the side, intending to keep Chu Feng's group as the targets.

Pulin was no pushover. Upon hearing the transmission, he burst into laughter and shouted, "You three, act now! Help me stop them, and then I'll believe you!"

Behind him, iron cavalry trampled the wilderness, smoke billowing.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's mind raced. He bellowed, "Purple-haired bastard! You're shameless! You three took sixty percent of the divine beast blood, and now you want to wash your hands of it and flee in the chaos?"

The faces of the three immediately turned pale upon hearing this, and their hearts filled with immense hatred.

This was like yellow mud falling into one's crotch – even if it wasn't a problem, it became one. The three were infuriated; nothing they said would help. They had already been roped in as accomplices, and that young marquis Pulin was definitely not a benevolent sort; he would surely rather kill innocents than let anyone escape.

"Chu Feng, you are utterly shameless! The divine beast blood and sacred medicine are clearly on you. Are you trying to divert the blame?!" the Fledgling Divine Body roared.

Regardless, he had to make his stance clear and explain to the cavalry army behind them.

Ouyang Feng cursed loudly, "Fledgling Divine Body, you grandson! Return grandpa's sacred medicine! You stole my share, and now you want double? Are you even human?!"

The silver-haired loli also clamored, "That's right, Purple-hair! You stole my sacred medicine, you're not a good person!"

"Fledgling Divine Body, I believe you three! Help me stop them!" Pulin shouted from behind, a cold smile on his face. As long as the people in front started fighting, none would escape. Regardless of whether they were accomplices or not, he would capture them all!

The Fledgling Divine Body, the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body, and the purple-haired youth's faces darkened. How could they dare stop? They knew full well that once caught, they would meet a terrible end.

Ouyang Feng yelled, "You three grandsons, do you dare stop us? You yourselves snatched two sacred medicines and took sixty percent of the divine beast blood! You're clearly feeling guilty!"

The faces of the three in front turned livid. That black swan was simultaneously slandering and ridiculing them, which was truly infuriating. They wished they could skin him alive.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a terrifying arrow sliced through the sky, radiating intimidating light and blazing flames, shooting towards Chu Feng's back.

A divine archer among the cavalry had attacked!

Chu Feng's body tensed. While moving at high speed, he had the illusion of encountering Death itself; his whole body felt cold. He sensed the terror of this arrow; its positive energy was too intense.

He rapidly changed direction, but the arrow also changed course, striking like a dazzling sun, carrying an immense aura.

"Be careful! Don't blast him apart! If the sacred medicine and divine beast blood are destroyed with him, that would be a grave sin!" Pulin roared, more anxious than Chu Feng, actually worried about his death.

Hearing this, Chu Feng felt great humiliation; they were being utterly underestimated.

Nevertheless, this arrow was indeed terrifying!

Chu Feng narrowly dodged the arrow, but the terrifying positive energy that brushed past him was like a divine metal branding iron, searing his soul light. His body hissed, emitting large plumes of smoke, and "soul blood" overflowed from his mouth.

In this universe, the situation for a soul body like him was extremely dire!

A single arrow from a Golden Body level expert had almost killed him!

Not only Chu Feng himself, but even his three adversaries—the Fledgling Divine Body, the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body, and the purple-haired youth—felt their hearts turn cold. They were too vulnerable against the pursuing army.

"Are you alright?" Ouyang Feng whispered. His expression was also extremely grim; at this rate, they would all likely be killed!

Pulin smiled and said, "Excellent! Just don't blast them apart. All ten divine archers, attack together! Use your positive energy to burn these ghost slaves!"

In an instant, ten divine archers from the cavalry army leaped into the air, each drawing their bows and aiming at the fleeing figures ahead.

In the sky, it was as if ten ferocious ancient divine birds, Golden Crows, had revived, emitting terrifying aura and spreading supreme positive energy.

All ten divine archers were at the Golden Body level, on par with the archer who had just fired. If they truly hit a soul body, Ouyang Feng and the others would directly explode, without any doubt!

"Chu Feng, Ouyang Feng, my two yin spirit servants, do you still wish to escape? Kneel before me now, and I shall spare your lives," Pulin said with a sneer. His powerful spiritual sonic waves boomed through the sky. He threatened, "Should you dare to resist again, you will be killed without question!"

He already knew Chu Feng's and Ouyang Feng's true names. With a wave of his hand, the ten divine archers in the sky shimmered brightly, their great bows drawn to full moon shapes, their arrows dazzling.

Ouyang Feng shouted, "Grandson, do you think your divine king grandpa was scared easily? Come on, if you dare fire your arrows, I dare shatter the spatial bracelet, destroying all the sacred medicine and divine beast blood inside!"

"This marquis is not threatened! Fire the arrows!" Pulin roared.

In truth, he was incredibly nervous, genuinely afraid that Ouyang Feng would go mad and destroy the spatial bracelet, triggering a massive explosion.

However, he truly didn't want to be threatened, fearing that these individuals would become emboldened and slip from his control.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

In the sky, one astonishing divine rainbow after another streaked across, trailing long tails of light that illuminated the earth, like comets traversing the heavens.

It was too dazzling; all ten arrows were exceptionally bright, burning with terrifying positive energy.

"Sister!" Ying Xiaoxiao cried out in alarm, because she saw that as Ying Zhexian dodged a divine arrow with her, the arrow also changed direction, relentlessly pursuing them.

Finally, Ying Zhexian unleashed her Five-Colored Divine Light, forcefully altering the arrow's trajectory. However, her own Five-Colored Divine Light also hissed, emitting light rain as parts of it were burned, her soul damaged, and her mental energy significantly reduced.

"I'm fine!" Ying Zhexian replied.

Then, with a cold glint in her eyes, she glanced back at the army and shouted to Ouyang Feng and Chu Feng, "Use the spatial bracelets as shields! Let them shoot! We'll just be pulverized along with the sacred medicine and divine beast blood!"

She had already taken out her spatial bracelet and held it in front of her.

On the other side, Ouyang Feng cried out in alarm, having no escape route in the sky or on the ground from the pursuit. Obeying Ying Zhexian's words, he fiercely blocked the spatial bracelet in front of himself.

If the enemy dared to shoot, he would undoubtedly die, and of course, the sacred medicine and divine beast blood would also turn to dust.

Pulin was greatly alarmed and secretly transmitted a message to the divine archers, "Avoid him! Do not blast the spatial bracelet!"

For others, it would be too difficult, as the arrows had already been fired. However, these divine archers had attached a wisp of soul light to their arrows, allowing them to change direction.

That arrow shot upwards, grazing past Ouyang Feng and igniting half his body, causing him to scream in pain as he frantically extinguished the positive energy flames.

"Grandson, dare you shoot again?!" Ouyang Feng challenged.

At this point, Chu Feng and Ying Zhexian also did the same, holding their spatial bracelets like shields.

They had temporarily escaped the deadly peril, but the Fledgling Divine Body, the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body, and the purple-haired youth were extremely uncomfortable. They had no spatial artifacts on them, so they couldn't threaten or make their opponents hesitate.

The purple-haired youth screamed in agony. An arrow struck his palm, which immediately exploded, turning his entire arm into ashes, completely incinerated on the spot.

This sent shivers down everyone's spines. That Golden Body level divine archer was indeed terrifying; even a slight touch from his arrow was destructive!

"Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body, can't you use your Heaven's Mandate Immortal Light once? Take us and escape, otherwise, we'll all die!" the Fledgling Divine Body whispered, discussing.

"After using it, I'll be greatly weakened for a long time; anyone could take my life," the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body sighed. However, he had no choice now.

The Fledgling Divine Body and the purple-haired youth quickly swore that they would protect him.

When the divine archers fired again, the Heaven's Mandate Immortal Body erupted with a large shower of light, engulfing the other two and transforming into a streak of light, rapidly disappearing over the horizon.

That speed was so immense that even a Sub-Saint might not be able to catch up!

"Damn it! Those three grandsons got away! No one left to share the damage," Ouyang Feng yelped.

Pulin's face turned livid. Three of his perceived prey, offerings he intended for the God of War, had actually escaped, making him displeased. Wanting to intimidate Chu Feng and the others, he roared, "Never mind! Blast one of them for me first! I am a man who will never be threatened. Let's see if you can remain so defiant to the end!"

In an instant, the ten divine archers aimed at Chu Feng, Ying Zhexian, and Ouyang Feng.

"Shoot that bird first! He seems to be the son of some big shot, Juntuo, but right now he's nothing! Kill him!" Pulin commanded.

"Pulin, you grandson! You're Juntuo's son, no, you're Juntuo's grandson!" Even at such a critical moment, Ouyang Feng still had the presence of mind to get angry, and furiously so.

"Come here!" Chu Feng summoned Ouyang Feng. He had already unleashed his Soul Bell to protect himself.

Then, he signaled to Ying Zhexian, and the two sisters quickly moved under the Soul Bell.

In an instant, the large black bell enveloped them all. Chu Feng exerted his power, and as his soul light shimmered, the bell emitted a resounding chime, piercing through the air with extreme speed.

Ying Zhexian whispered, "Flee in the direction the Fledgling Divine Body and his group went. Yesterday, they were also pursued by the cavalry but successfully escaped the army. Perhaps they found terrain favorable for escape."

At the same time, she hesitated slightly, then finally made up her mind, telling Chu Feng that she would use a forbidden technique to help him, but it would severely drain her vital energy, and afterward, she would rely on them for protection.

"Don't worry, Fairy," Ouyang Feng blurted out. "You are Chu Feng's Dao companion, which makes you my... my sister-in-law. We will look after you and this little loli!" He almost said "my divine king Ouyang's Dao companion."

At such a critical juncture, Ying Zhexian couldn't be bothered to refute him.

With a flash of Five-Colored Divine Light, she activated a secret technique that could contend with the Ten Absolute Arts. If fully mastered, it would be a peerless divine ability.

At present, she had only achieved minor completion, having met all the cultivation conditions.

In an instant, the entire Soul Bell emitted five-colored divine light. They seemed to transcend the five elements, detached from the mundane world, and fled at light speed, disappearing beyond the horizon.

Ouyang Feng exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent! We finally got rid of those cavalry grandsons! Let's immediately consume the sacred medicine and bathe in the divine beast blood. Then, we'll go back and settle scores with those bastards!"
