Chapter 322 – A Terrifying Arrow! Severely Injuring Nangong Li!

The fear in his heart grew deeper.

The timidity in Nangong Li’s eyes continued to amplify.

A battle between Celestial Venerables wasn’t merely a contest of realms, but also a struggle of mental states!

Having witnessed Qin Yang’s sword strike earlier, he had already begun to entertain thoughts of retreat, contemplating how to make his escape.

In that fleeting moment.

“You dare to lose focus?!”

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, seizing the critical opportunity to unleash twelve Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate techniques simultaneously. Dazzling sword light illuminated the surroundings, radiating sharp killing intent.

Whoosh!

The lake water surged backward, turbid waves swept across the sky.

Buildings on both shores were destroyed!

With a sidelong glance, Nangong Li raised his palm again, attempting to block this attack.

Yet even so, he struggled to withstand Qin Yang’s ferocious assault.

Now Qin Yang flicked his wrist to wield his sword—the edge sharp, the attacks fluid and versatile. Sky-Slicing Sword Draw, Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate, Myriad Swords Return… Countless Sword Dao masters’ techniques throughout history were being reenacted in his hands.

And their power was even greater than before!

An extraordinary burst of Sword Intent erupted, accompanied by Ziwei’s joyful sword hum.

Divine weapon enhancement, Swordplay reaching profound levels.

Massive waves of sword light cascaded one after another, like endless ocean tides, compounded by the blockade of Space Law.

It seemed as if the entire sky was filled with brilliant sword light.

How could one possibly fight against this?!

In just an instant.

Nangong Li’s defeat cascaded like a collapsing mountain, sending him flying backward dozens of yards!

Blood droplets scattered like blown petals.

Pressing his brow, he felt both shock and terror—Qin Yang’s repeated assaults were all aimed at his vital points.

The declining momentum became increasingly apparent.

Nangong Li’s mood sank to the depths as he helplessly glanced at the situation around Lishui Lake. A battle at the Celestial Venerable level affected the surrounding environment with nearly catastrophic intensity.

Rolling lake waters stirred monumental waves, shaking heaven and earth. Schools of fish were disturbed and affected, resulting in massive casualties.

The lake surface turned crimson red.

The nearby shoreline terrain suffered impacts, causing Lishui Lake to instantly expand and the water level to drop sharply by two meters…

And this was with both combatants deliberately avoiding greater destruction.

Otherwise, the entire lake would have been evaporated dry!

…….

Meanwhile.

In Jianghai City’s downtown!

Deafening tremors resonated between heaven and earth, the sky dyed crimson. Mist rose higher, saturating the upper atmosphere as sun showers fell from above.

A brilliant rainbow arched between buildings.

Countless citizens holding umbrellas craned their necks to gaze toward Lishui Lake, all falling into profound awe at the spectacle.

“Look at the sky over there! The deities are angered!”

“Hold your tongue! Don’t make reckless comments—watch your words!”

“Celestial beings warring! Will Lishui Lake be completely evaporated?!”

“Divine miracle! That golden dragon from before is there too!”

“Heaven protect us!”

Amid the conversations.

Vroom! Vroom!

Piercing police sirens wailed as fleets of Star Martial Police Department vehicles sped by. Helicopters soared over citizens’ heads, their violent winds scattering everything below.

The Star Martial Police Department had urgently mobilized as well.

But hindered by the terrifying battlefield energy, they didn’t dare approach, instead circling around Lishui Lake at a distance.

Ring! Ring!

Every Jianghai citizen’s phone simultaneously received a text message.

It was an emergency municipal notice: Do not approach Lishui Lake under any circumstances!

The area within a two-kilometer radius had been directly classified as a high-risk zone!Yet there were those unaware of the truth who panicked, momentarily believing deities had descended to the mortal realm—how else could such a terrifying spectacle occur?

They gazed toward the sky above Lishui Lake.

Golden dragons coiled through clouds, while beastly shadows roared!

Thunderous cries shattered the heavens, and the brilliance of sword gleams outshone even the blazing sun in the sky. Beneath such celestial calamities, humans seemed as insignificant as mayflies shaking a tree.

…

After two consecutive moves.

The surface of Lishui Lake rippled with mist.

Pfft!

Nangong Li clutched the wound on his palm, suddenly feeling a sweet taste in his throat before violently spitting out thick, viscous blood. His entire appearance was utterly disheveled.

He was beginning to falter.

This fight with the Exploding Heavens Gang was proving far more costly than anticipated!

Not only did he have to guard against Qin Yang’s peerless swordplay, but he also had to remain vigilant against his opponent’s potential self-detonation at any time. Every strike sent his heart racing with dread.

Having been promoted to the Celestial Master for years.

This was the first time he’d fought such a humiliating battle!!

“This can’t go on any longer.”

With this thought, Nangong Li suddenly flipped his hand, summoning the secret treasure Chaos Void Shuttle. Array inscriptions densely covered the small vessel, and in an instant, radiant light burst forth in all directions!

Driven by his full power and vital essence, the activation speed of the Chaos Void Shuttle was pushed to its limit!

Instant activation!

The next moment.

Hum!

His figure flickered, on the verge of vanishing from the spot.

“Did I permit you to leave?”

Qin Yang, thoroughly enjoying the fight, noticed Nangong Li attempting to flee and curled his lips into a composed smile. He had long anticipated this move.

Letting him escape last time was unexpected.

But today was different.

This time, you dare to bring out the Chaos Void Shuttle again? I won’t be satisfied until I shoot it through!!

The next moment.

Qin Yang flipped his hand open the Star Ring and retrieved the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

In an instant!

The scorching sun blazed with intensity!

Across Lishui Lake, sweltering heat swept through heaven and earth. The laws of flame scorched all things, boiling the air as if midsummer had returned.

Now ascended to the Celestial Venerable Realm, Qin Yang could finally unleash the divine weapon’s full power!

Notching the arrow.

Drawing the bowstring.

A seamless, fluid assault.

Qin Yang aimed in the direction of Nangong Li’s retreat.

His figure flickered and gradually shrank to a tiny dot, like a lone boat struggling through a stormy sea, desperately trying to shake off the pursuing arrow.

But it was utterly futile!

Whoosh!

Qin Yang released his grip.

The arrow gave relentless chase. No matter how Nangong Li veered and twisted, it adjusted its trajectory with precision, slicing through the air at sharp angles!

It darted like a streak of light!

A torrent of Sword Intent swept forth, creating a momentum as vast as mountains and seas!

An unstoppable killing intent erupted!

In mere milliseconds!

Boom!

The arrow traced a graceful arc.

Swift as a fleeting shadow, it shot straight toward the Chaos Void Shuttle, navigating through space like flickering lightning.

An extreme exhilaration, as if intent on shattering time itself.

The next moment.

The arrow’s tip reached its destination, piercing first through the surface of the Chaos Void Shuttle, shattering the prow. Countless splinters of wood exploded outward, and the fragmented debris embedded itself deep into Nangong Li’s body.

Bit by bit, it penetrated.

This indestructible secret treasure from the upper realm was instantly reduced to fragments!

But it didn’t end there!

The Space Law surged wildly. After piercing through the secret treasure, the arrow’s tip locked onto Nangong Li’s chest, as if bound by an unbreakable fate.

Thud!

The tip burrowed into flesh, and Sword Qi erupted in its wake, rampaging through his internal organs.

In an instant, more than half of his meridians were shattered!”Pfft!”

But in that very instant, Nangong Li gritted his teeth, seized this brief respite, and once again activated his secret technique to flee into the distance.

This dying burst, like a final flicker of life, even enhanced his escape art to its utmost limit!

Boom!

The void collapsed.

Nangong Li’s figure promptly vanished without a trace.

“Qin Yang, I will definitely return!”
