Chapter 201 – Poisonous Rain (1/2)

Chapter 201 - Poisonous Rain

Brother Ling, whose name was Great Gale Ling, took the rest of the team and began his assault. His eye sockets were filled with hot blood and rage rushed directly to his head. Great Gale Ling shouted madly, hot air streams surged out of every pore of his.

How could this have happened?! How could I have such a great loss?! The information he had received from the Ten-Sun Country was detailed and true. According to that information, among Ji Hao’s teammates, Yu Mu and Feng Xing were the only two Senior Magi, and they had broken through to the Senior Magus level only three to five years ago. Therefore, Great Gale Ling and his team could easily kill all of them.

If they took out Ji Hao’s team, which was responsible for escorting the exploration troops of the Rong Mountain Clan to their new territory, the thirty thousand people of the Rong Mountain Clan would be given to him. This was the reward that was approved tacitly by the man who had encouraged them to launch this attack.

A whole thirty-thousand people of the Rong Mountain Clan! These people knew everything about mine exploration and weapon forging were a tremendous treasure. Great Gale Ling had even contacted slave dealers from the Yu Clan in secret. Once he successfully killed Ji Hao and his teammates, and captured these clansmen, he would sell these Rong Mountain Clan clansmen immediately through a secret distribution channel.

However…

All the souls of the great ancestors and all the free spirits of the wind in the world would testify on behalf of Great Gale Ling that Feng Xing had fallen to the ground in a very weird and twisted manner. His lucky survival from the deadly shot was purely because of luck. But how on earth had Feng Xing been able to kill Great Gale Ling’s brothers directly with only a series of blind counterattacks that he had launched after having fallen to the ground?!

The poor boy who had been shot directly in the head, which was something that had happened so quickly that even a Senior Magus would have been unable to save him, was one of Great Gale Ling’s blood-related cousins. He was the son of a blood-related uncle of Great Gale Ling and had been quite close to him since they were little kids. That boy was a talented young elite warrior who was extremely valued by the Great Gale Clan.

In Pu Ban City, this boy even had already been selected to join the guardian corps of the King of the humankind, Emperor Shun, as the commander of a hundred elite archers. This time, Great Gale Ling had secretly taken him out of Pu Ban City for this secret killing mission that had been assigned to him by an elder.

Before he could kill the target, his brother had been killed by the enemies. Great Gale Ling couldn’t even imagine how he would explain this to his uncle. Neither did he have any idea how to face all those questions that would come from the group of ministers, or even from Emperor Shun himself.

He was utterly enraged and frightened. His arms, which had been as stable as a mountain before, had started to tremble. He pulled his longbow open and shot out waves of arrows. Soon, the two quivers of arrows that had been tied around his waist, the three quivers of arrows he was carrying on his back, and the two quivers of arrow that were tied around his shanks, were all shot out.

He shook his body abruptly and shattered those empty quivers into pieces, while thrusting his hand into a fist-sized storage bag tied around his waist. He took another quiver full of arrows out, then simultaneously created another rain of arrows.

Those arrows darted through the sky like raindrops towards Feng Xing, Yu Mu, Taisi, and Shaosi, along with cold, light sparks and ghost-wailing-like, shrill, swishing sound. Weirdly, elder Iron Mountain, who was standing right in the middle of the campsite while organizing a defensive formation, hadn’t even caught the attention of Great Gale Ling for even the slightest bit. Great Gale Ling and companions didn’t even take the elders of the Rong Mountain Clan into consideration.

Fifteen elite archers who possessed top-ranked shooting skills, madly shot over a thousand arrows out, within a second. Without any strategy, all those arrows darted towards Ji Hao’s teammates on completely straight paths, at the highest speed, and contained as much powers as they could and the strongest killing intent.

Shaosi’s facial expression changed slightly. She took a deep breath and moved, stepping forward, while shielding the fainted Taisi behind her. Facing such a strong rain of arrow, Shaosi doubted if she was powerful enough to keep Taisi safe. The only thing she could do was to block all the arrows that were aimed at her brother, with her own body.

Feng Xing let out another great shout and a series of curses while running and dodging on the ground, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. At the same time, he was shooting arrows out, one after another. The arrows shot by Feng Xing seemed continuously able to collide against the arrows of the enemies. The collision would cause both arrows to explode simultaneously, whilst creating a thunderous boom.

However, Feng Xing’s quivers emptied completely after the shooting the two-hundred arrows he had brought with him. He growled out in a resonating voice and activated his internal power. His internal power gushed out of his body, into his longbow and condensed quickly into cyan light-arrows on the bow string. In the blink of an eye, another hundred light-arrows were shot out by Feng Xing. Feng Xing’s butt thudded against the ground, his face filled with despair. He had already used up all of the powers contained in his body, now he was even unable to move.

Nevertheless, there were entire fifteen skilled archers on the side of the enemy and Great Gale Ling alone had shot out over five-hundred arrows within a moment. All those arrows flew rapidly down like a storm. Yu Mu, Feng Xing, Taisi, and Shaosi were all in the targeted range.
