Hou Yi still maintained her shooting posture. Her body leaned forward as the bowstring remained practically motionless, but the Sun-chasing Arrow was already gone. A blood-red shooting star thus shot into Qi Lin.
Qi Lin was fully ready. He raised both his arms, which suddenly discharged a silver light.
The Dark Heaven magic treasures Heaven-shaking Bow and Cloud-piercing Arrow, which did not lose out to Hou Yi, were fired in response with Destined power.
So fast.
Qi Lin’s pupils could not contract any more than they already had.
Hou Yi’s Sun-chasing Arrow suddenly blossomed in his eyes, as if with the sun’s blooming radiance. Faster than the blink of an eye, arrow-lights were all launched. Qi Lin sensed the power of the arrow. There was only one thought in his mind – the result of retreat was death. Against the Ancient Arrow Sovereign’s Sun-chasing Arrow, Qi Lin did not plan to withdraw.
The Cloud-piercing Arrow flew forth in response.
The Sun-chasing Arrow and the Cloud-piercing Arrow collided in midair. One was silver light like the moon, the other red as the sun, as if they were the sun and moon reflecting each other. Hou Yi was aware that QI Lin kept his powers hidden, but she was nevertheless caught off guard that her Million Destinies was unable to strike down Qi Lin.
Qi Lin’s Dark Heaven magic treasure Heaven-shaking Bow and Cloud-piercing Arrow were a single unit, comparable to God Transformation Realm. Hou Yi was merely Middle Ancient Divine Realm, only able to seize a slight advantage, nothing more.
The Sun-chasing Arrow’s light reached the tip of Qi Lin’s nose. He leaned ever so slightly, thus evading the arrow.
Graze.
“…” Qi Lin felt a sting of pain on his nose. There was the faint moisture of blood.
Originally, he thought he could dodge with more leeway, but he had still been singed by the arrow-light.
Hou Yi’s Destined Sun-chasing Arrow had absorbed the power of the sun and was thus not an ordinary arrow.
At the same time, Qi Lin’s Cloud-piercing Arrow had also punched through the sun and grazed Hou Yi’s ear. The woman’s earlobe was slightly cut.
This first exchange could be described as evenly matched.
“Not bad.” Hou Yi narrowed her eyes. She had still underestimated the young man in front of her.
“Elder Sister Hou Yi.” Shi Xuan’s forehead Divine Crest glowed. The magic treasure “Scarlet Dragon Sword” in her hand flashed and was about to assist.
“Stop.”
Hou Yi ordered her.
Pride told the Ancient Arrow Sovereign that she absolutely could not allow outside interference in this duel between arrows.
“En garde, show This Sovereign how long you can last, Qi Lin.”
“As you wish.”
Qi Lin shouted as he gathered Divine Energy.
The Universe Origin Five Elements Shackles came undone, and his second Cloud-piercing Arrow whistled away.
“Very good, very good.”
Hou Yi could not stop the burning in her chest. She was too fond of this feeling of dueling.
But when the second Sun-chasing Arrow was shot, Qi Lin had already vanished without a trace using the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape; he naturally was not so stupid as to be a target for Hou Yi.
Hou Yi also rotated, making the Cloud-piercing Arrow’s murderous aura miss.
The two hid in the endless white mist, both their figures vanished from sight..
Shi Xuan nervously watched, with even her breathing becoming careful and suppressed. The girl was completely alert. Her “Scarlet Dragon Sword” would attack at the slightest mistake.
Then, an unprecedented and magnificent archery scene appeared before her.
The white mist broke apart.
Red arrow-lights evaporated the mist and burned the air.
Bang.
Silver lights clashed with the red arrow-lights, spraying sparks.
Carrying forth precise calculations and unwavering self-confidence, both sides’ arrows attacked without warning under cover of the obscuring mist. In Shi Xuan’s eyes, both their arrows endlessly collided with sparks, as if sun and moon were clashing, producing a kind of aesthetic beauty of the sun and moon rising and falling.
“As expected of a magic treasure of the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens, it is actually able to contend against Hou Yi for so long.” Shi Xuan’s eyes burned with zealotry. In Primordial World, magic treasures were too important. One high quality magic treasure was sufficient to bridge a gap of one Realm. It was even possible for a completely mastered Earlier Heaven magic treasure to slay an enemy two or three Realms higher.
Dark Heaven magic treasures could not compare to Earlier Heaven magic treasures, but they still far exceeded Later Heaven magic treasures. Furthermore, they were also very rare in Primordial World.
Seeing Qi Lin used the Dark Heaven magic treasure to resist Hou Yi, SHi Xuan also had the urge to plunder.
Qi Lin wandered through the fog, his body technique ghostly and quiet.
He had already shot more than a dozen Cloud-piercing Arrows, leaving him already somewhat strained. Hou Yi was the god of archery, after all. Even if she was not that Yi who was able to shoot down ten sun, the Middle Ancient Divine Name still brimmed with pressure to Qi Lin.
Against such an archery expert, he could only find a chance at victory within danger, to find a straight path through curves.
Bang.
The Heaven-shaking Bow rang once again. The divine power it blasted first blew away the Sun-chasing Arrow’s remaining power. Then, the Cloud-piercing Arrow’s penetrative ability came into contact with the Sun-chasing Arrow. The two magic treasures combined to barely intercept Hou Yi’s attack.
Qi Lin tapped his toes repeatedly. The ninth Divine Gate perfectly corresponded to Heaven and Earth, complementing his Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape well. The leylines of Heaven and Earth were tapped under his feet, making his speed astounding. Even Hou YI’s pupils contracted at this sight.
What.
After Hou Yi shot another arrow, she suddenly sensed pressure. Qi Lin emerged from the mist, attacking with the Nine Fingers Of Hell.
“Spirit-scattering Finger, Devil-bewitching Finger, Monster-destroying Finger, Demon-ending Finger, Ox-head Finger, Ghost-crying Finger, Snake-biting Finger, God-howling Finger.”
Eight fingers of demons and gods combined into one.
This was the Tier Two ability that Huang Feihu’s Emissary had learned. Despite its Tier Two status, even the ability of the Invested Deity Emissary of the Yin Shang’s general was far stronger than other Tier Two or Three abilities. The Nine Fingers Of Hell could meld with Destiny, posing a threat to Divine Generals. Otherwise, average Tier Two or Three abilities could not even pierce the “steel bones” of Middle Ancient Divine Realm.
Now, the eight fingers were followed by the ninth, “Hell.”
The finger-light shot towards Hou YI’s forehead, and the eight finger-shadows were like a plunge into the underworld.
“Hmph.” Hou Yi did not evade. The bangs over her forehead were blown apart by the wind, openly meeting the Nine Fingers Of Hell.
Qi Lin’s finger hurt. It was like poking a steel plate, and his finger bone surprisingly broke.
“Petty tricks.”
Twang.
A Sun-chasing Arrow soared like a rocket and drilled into Qi Lin’s chest, burning into his organs.
An excruciating feeling of burning immediately coursed through his meridians and limbs. If he had been an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, he would have already been reduced to ash in an instant, but Qi Lin’s forehead Divine Crest glowed. An evil qi wrapped around his whole body, shielding him.
“Divine Crest…This is bad, Shi Xuan, be careful.”
Hou Yi was shocked.
Qi Lin had been shot by an arrow, yet he did not cower away. He was filled with bone-chilling killing intent and hatred. The Universe Origin Five Elements Shackles suddenly reappeared and bound Hou Yi’s limbs and neck. The pressure of the Five Elements made Hou Yi’s next arrow stagnate for a moment; it was this moment that gave Qi Lin his chance.
Evil qi surged, and Qi Qi sinisterly manifested. The Divine Staff in her hand was already restlessly beating Hou Yi’s shoulder blade.
The Ancient Arrow Sovereign bellowed and used Ten Million Destinies “Fire Dragon Fang.”
An arrow that was like a dragon’s fang bit into Qi Qi’s body, endlessly thrashing in the air. If not for Qi Qi’s impervious body, perhaps she would have been chewed to pieces.
The power of the Ten Million Destinies quaked, and the Five Elements Shackles were unable to contain it, being slowly shaken off.
“Scarlet Dragon Sword.”
Shi Xuan used a magic treasure. The long sword in her hand unleashed a crimson dragon that coiled towards the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven.
“This man is also an Emissary, be careful.” Hou Yi caught her breath and immediately warned her own Emissary.
However, that Qi Lin had a Divine General actually was not very surprising to Shi Xuan. In Primordial World, only cultivators who contracted with Divine Generals could be so unfathomable. This could very easily explain Qi Lin’s endless surprises before; perhaps they were all related to this Divine General.
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan and Hou Yi acted with perfect coordination, with even more determination to kill Qi Lin.
“Ten Million Destinies.”
Hou Yi leapt backwards into the air and drew her bow, concentrating all of her Divine Energy into one last arrow. Since Qi Lin’s Divine General had emerged, this Ancient Arrow Sovereign was very aware why the arrow on the string needed to be loosed. She needed to kill Qi Lin before the other Divine General freed herself from the Fire Dragon Fang, otherwise the consequences would be dire.
Just as she was pondering this, Qi Lin was thinking the exact same thing.
After using the Cloud-piercing Arrow so many times consecutively, QI Lin’s magical energy was already at its limit. The moment Qi Qi appeared, he was already making his last gamble.
They each practically leapt backwards at the same time, for Qi Lin and Hou Yi both had the same idea.
Divine Energy gathered on the string.
Arrow-light focused on the bow.
All of their determination, killing intent, pride, and self-respect were staked on this arrow.
Sun-chasing Arrow!
Cloud-piercing Arrow!
Hou Yi’s arrow formed a blinding sun, massive over the Nine Divine Gates, illuminating Kunlun.
Qi Lin’s arrow was like the moon reflected in a calm lake. Although the light was weak, it brimmed with the power of the Dual Modes’ strength and gentleness.
Even Lu Wu could not help but be astounded as she watched the duel between the man and woman.
Nothing surpassed the emergence of the sun and moon.
“But against Hou Yi’s Sun-chasing Arrow, can you actually prevail?” Lu Wu thought to herself.
The sun and moon arrows amazed the Nine Divine Gates, displaying the beautiful scene of alternating day and night, cycling sun and moon at the Qiankun gate. But just as Lu Wu had worried, Qi Lin was only an Emissary in the end. There was basically no chance for him to contend against a Divine General’s arrow. In the end, the moon could hardly outmatch the sun, and it burned away bit by bit under the Sun-chasing Arrow’s searing flame. The gentle moonlight was slowly consumed and returned to dust.
The roaring arrow-light swiftly bit at Qi Lin.
But Qi Lin’s resolute gaze was astonishing.
“Hm?”
Lu Wu’s brow wrinkled.
The answer was made clear the next moment.
An even stronger Destiny quaked from the side.
“Parishuddhi Universe!!”
The roaring Fire Dragon Fang and the Crimson Dragon Sword were reduced to dust by the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s staff. Shi Xuan was caught off guard. She had never expected the opponent would use Million Destinies to easily break Hou Yi’s Ten Million Destinies. “Impossible…” Shi Xuan’s face paled as Qi Qi bared her fangs, showing a cruel smile. The Divine Staff swung, and all energy around the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven was swept away like dust.
The Meteoric Iron Divine Staff’s evil qi landed on Shi Xuan’s head.
Qi Qi showed no pity at all as she attacked the astonished SHi Xuan.
Shi Xuan screamed and was struck dead.
“Weight Of Mount Tai!”
Qi Lin also fianlly used a Destined Skill to barely stall the Sun-chasing Arrow in the end.
With her Emissary dead, Hou Yi’s contract was severed, and the Divine Energy in her body backflowed. Her Divine Crest dispersed as she screamed in agony, but Hou Yi still stubbornly used the Sun-chasing Arrow to shoot Qi Lin.
“Big Brother.”
Qi Qi saw her Big Brother had been run through, and she furiously bounded over, the Meteoric Iron Divine Staff about to turn Hou Yi to paste.
Qi Lin extended a hand to stop her.
Hou Yi fell to a knee. The woman was in unbearable pain, her eyes crying tears of blood as she glared at Qi Qi. “Just what is your Divine Name.”
“I am Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong.” Qi Qi said through grit teeth, itching to beat her to death.
“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, Great Sage Equal Of Heaven…Ha, ha.” Hou Yi wretchedly laughed. No wonder her Ten Million Destinies was no match for that Million Destinies; the opponent’s Divine Name was far too powerful in the Earlier Heaven Realm.
Unresigned. Hou Yi was very unresigned. She looked at Shi Xuan’s corpse and wept tears of blood endlessly.
Qi Lin stood in front of her, sincerely sighing at this scene.
“Any last requests.” Qi Lin drew the Heaven-shaking Bow and aimed a Cloud-piercing Arrow at Hou Yi’s forehead.
“Do not shame my Sun-chasing Arrow!!” Hou Yi stared at Qi Lin, determined to memorize this young man’s appearance. “Next generation, my Divine Name will definitely come find you again!! You belong to me, Hou Yi.”
“Sure.”
Qi Lin nodded.
Twang.
Hou Yi collapsed with a groan.

Hou Yi had ZERO shame. Damn though. Poor Chang…. But at least Qi Qi g9t t9 crush a skull.
Well, I guess she was really thirsty for Qi Lin…
