Chapter 601: Chapter 384 Hunting the Heavenly King_2

In the blink of an eye, the distance between them closed to within five kilometers.

"Who the hell wants to fight you in close combat?"

Ji Xinghuo scoffed.

Whir!

The string of the Spiritual String Song had been drawn already. He could now control a maximum range of about seven thousand meters, but to be extra safe, he only started shooting when within five thousand meters, unleashing the Chain Arrow he had been preparing.

Though it seemed to fly quickly, in Ji Xinghuo’s eyes, it was rather slow.

He had already entered Myriad Phenomena!

The Chain Arrow split into five.

Canghuo Gui sensed the danger, her body surged with White Flames, and her Dragon Wings beat rapidly allowing her to change directions swiftly in flight, trying to dodge the arrows. At the same time, a huge Round Shield appeared on her left arm, positioned in front of her.

In an instant, Canghuo Gui changed her flight direction three times, each trajectory completely irregular and unpredictable.

As the Chain Arrow approached, just as it was about to pass by, it suddenly turned.

A surge of alarm went through Canghuo Gui’s heart.

She instinctively dodged again but misjudged the direction, almost as if she was flying into the arrow path on purpose, getting hit by it.

A single Chain Arrow was equivalent to five arrows stacking, exploding simultaneously on Canghuo Gui’s Round Shield.

High-temperature electricity blasted against the shield’s surface.

Canghuo Gui’s arm went numb from the shock, nearly dropping the Round Shield, luckily uninjured, but the current from the shield left her body tingling, invading her Battle Armor and Dragon Scale, rendering her temporarily incapable of exertion.

Before she could recover, a bolt of Lightning drilled in from the edge of the Round Shield.

Ji Xinghuo’s second arrow.

It was just a Star Power Arrow. It curved mid-air, entering at a tricky angle, striking Canghuo Gui right in the chest.

Bang!

Her chest armor shattered, almost getting pierced through.

But before Canghuo Gui could feel relieved, another arrow arrived, striking with unmatched Precision at the same spot, the arrow sticking in the Dragon Scale and releasing electricity. Canghuo Gui’s flames stuttered, her Star Power burst, finally getting the Round Shield up in front of her.

A muffled thud, the Round Shield was dented with the impact.

Canghuo Gui felt a chill, realizing if she had been any slower, the third arrow would have seriously wounded her.

She glanced at Ji Xinghuo, spotting him still more than five kilometers away, continuously shooting arrows.

Arrows flew towards her one after another.

Canghuo Gui mostly hid her body behind the Round Shield, her Dragon Wings beating frantically for speed, enduring the arrow strikes as she sprinted towards Ji Xinghuo. It was the fastest she had ever been, yet reality left her in despair.

Because Ji Xinghuo simply wouldn’t give her a chance to get close.

As she flew towards him, Ji Xinghuo too was flying, but backwards, always maintaining a distance of about five kilometers.

When she stopped, Ji Xinghuo also stopped.

During their tug-of-war, Ji Xinghuo’s shooting never ceased, firing at least three arrows per second, and no matter how Canghuo Gui dodged, those Star Power formed arrows seemed to have eyes, always hitting her.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Arrow after arrow struck the Round Shield, each hit feeling like the impact of a beast.

Canghuo Gui didn’t even dare to turn and run.

She had already witnessed the frightening Archery Skill of Ji Xinghuo. If her back was exposed to Ji Xinghuo’s line of fire, it would be a suicidal move.

"The Apocalypse Bow..."

"How does a lower Mutant have such a powerful weapon?"

Canghuo Gui cursed through gritted teeth.

What truly terrified her was that Ji Xinghuo’s strength was not limited to his bow. He was only a Fifth Rank Mutant, yet he dominated her in combat, a rarity even among True Dragon people.

"What exactly is his background?"

Canghuo Gui realized she had hit a snag, but regret was futile.

Suddenly, a loud explosion.

Canghuo Gui’s Round Shield, after withstanding a dozen arrows, finally burst apart. She had anticipated this and had already fled towards the ground to use the terrain to block Ji Xinghuo’s shooting, but she was slightly late.

She was still several hundred meters from the ground.

Ordinarily, this distance would feel like nothing, but now it seemed as vast as a chasm, nearly impossible to cross. Ji Xinghuo’s hands suddenly quickened, the frequency of his shooting surged.

Whirring...

The Spiritual String Song seemed to be playing—a blur of bowstrings—as Ji Xinghuo didn’t hesitate to consume a great amount of Star Power, consecutively shooting five Star Power Arrows.

And with the last one, he shot a Chain Arrow.

The first five arrows almost arrived at the same time, the leading arrow aimed at Canghuo Gui’s head. She swung her long spear to block, the arrow burst open, causing her to pause, then two more arrows struck, which she blocked with her left hand over her head.

However, these two arrows suddenly dipped slightly and struck her chest one after another, piercing through her battle armor and White Flames protection.

Her Dragon Scales were exposed.

The electricity on the arrow burst forth, blasting Canghuo Gui backward in midair, her body losing balance. The fourth and fifth arrows, one on the left and the other on the right, swiftly curved in a wide arc and struck the Dragon Wings on her back, bursting open.

The two bursts of explosive power clashed, forcing Canghuo Gui to stop in midair, losing control of her limbs and Dragon Wings.

Boom!

Just then, the Chain Arrow struck and hit Canghuo Gui directly in the chest, releasing all its contained energy.

Her battle armor, White Flames, and Dragon Scales—all were penetrated.

A large hole appeared in Canghuo Gui’s chest, clean through from front to back; half of her still-beating heart could be seen inside, and blood sprayed wildly. She looked down at the hole in her chest, disbelief in her eyes.

Pain and weakness quickly overwhelmed her, and she fell, crashing heavily to the ground.

The strong vitality of a Sixth Rank Dragon Warrior kept Canghuo Gui from dying immediately; she reached out trying to cover the hole, but couldn’t even stop the bleeding. The high-voltage current on the wound suppressed self-healing; her entire body was in pain and numb, her consciousness gradually fading.

"Ah..."

Canghuo Gui cried out, staring at the sky, her face full of resentment.

She saw Ji Xinghuo at the edge of the sky.

However, Ji Xinghuo simply didn’t come any closer, instead, he raised the Spiritual String Song again, pulling the bowstring and aiming at her.

Canghuo Gui, already at death’s door, suddenly sprang up like a flicker before extinction, and dashed across the ground. Her movements were erratic, dodging left and right, making it hard to track her, taking advantage of the terrain and trees to block Ji Xinghuo’s arrows.

This was all within Ji Xinghuo’s expectations.

A Sixth Rank powerhouse couldn’t be killed so easily—there had to be a contingent plan.

"A desperate struggle."

Ji Xinghuo smiled calmly.

He flew in the sky after Canghuo Gui, occasionally shooting a Star Power Arrow to drain her, but always keeping his distance, giving her no chance for a retaliatory kill.

Electromagnetic Induction also locked onto Canghuo Gui, so no matter how she ran, she couldn’t escape.

After running desperately for a few minutes with her severely wounded body, Canghuo Gui realized Ji Xinghuo wasn’t falling for it, her eyes finally filled with despair.

"Coward!"

"You lowly Mutant, don’t you even have the courage to fight me?"

"Come down and fight to the death!"

Canghuo Gui shouted, cursed, a string of insults pouring out, completely losing the noble demeanor of a True Dragon.

But no matter how she provoked or insulted him, Ji Xinghuo remained indifferent.

"My grandfather was once a close guard to the Canghuo Dragon King, serving as a Cangdu administrative officer. If you kill me, my grandfather will definitely seek vengeance for me."

"We don’t have a grievance big enough to warrant death, why go for the kill?"

"If you let me go, I am willing to give you a hundred million True Dragon Coins as compensation. I also have more than two thousand Ether Crystals, all for you."

"Just don’t kill me... "

"Please!"

"It was my fault for being blind and greedy, wanting your War Pet..."

Canghuo Gui desperately begged, threatened, bribed, repented; she offered all conditions, and, in the end, was even willing to sacrifice her own body. Yet Ji Xinghuo’s expression did not change as if he heard nothing.

He just chased after Canghuo Gui in the sky, maintaining his distance, and the Spiritual String Song kept shooting, arrow after arrow mercilessly struck.

Several minutes later.

Canghuo Gui stumbled, fell to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"You..."

Her face full of terror, she began to cry out, only to see a Chain Arrow rapidly expand in her vision from a small point to a burst. With a smack, Canghuo Gui’s head burst like a watermelon, but she did not hear it.
