Chu Chongyang was nailed to the ground, not moving at all. Blood flowed out from the wound on his chest, dyeing the ground red.
The tail of the arrow on his back was still trembling non-stop, showing the power of the arrow.
Tang Zheng laid on the ground, watching this scene from afar, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Chongyang was finally hit by the Shooting Sun Arrow, but no one knew if he was dead or alive.
Tang Zheng rejoiced a little, but also felt that it was unreal. In the past, he had never thought that he could actually kill a Great Master Martial Artist.
This kind of expert was the pillar of a large family, and could even support a large family.
Back then, Ye Xuanji had spent a lot of effort to break through to the Great Master Realm. It could be seen how important a warrior of this level was.
But today, a Great Master Martial Artist had fallen at the hands of Tang Zheng.
Of course, Tang Zheng was also extremely glad. If he had not used the Four Symbols Venerable to injure his opponent first, and then completely destroyed his opponent's confidence and will to fight, he would not have had the chance to use this Chain of Arrows.
Six consecutive arrows, this was already Tang Zheng's limit, which was why he fell down from exhaustion. At this moment, any enemy could take his life.
However, everyone's attention was still firmly attracted by Chu Chongyang who was lying on the ground. Their minds were filled with an earth-shattering shock. It was as if everything was happening in a dream, so unreal.
Especially the people of the Chu Family, their eyes had almost lost their spirit.
Chu Chongyang was like a god in their hearts, unreachable and undefeatable. But at this moment, he had actually lost at the hands of a young man.
"Father!" Chu Mingxuan seemed to have awoken from a dream as he rushed towards Chu Chongyang in fear. With a plop, he knelt in front of him and turned him around.
Chu Chongyang's eyes were tightly shut, the corner of his mouth and chest were dyed red with blood, and the arrow that pierced through his chest flickered with a cold light, overflowing with killing intent.
"Ah, father, how can you die?" Chu Mingxuan roared towards the sky, filled with anger, disbelief, and unwillingness.
Chu Chongyang's life force was already gone. His life was completely ended by this soul-severing arrow, and the patriarch of a generation had fallen.
"Tang Zheng, I will kill you!" Chu Mingxuan knew very well what Chu Chongyang's death meant to the Chu family and him. He abruptly turned his head to stare at Tang Zheng and roared hysterically.
Chu Mingxuan put down Chu Chongyang, stood up, and walked towards Tang Zheng step by step. His eyes were red with killing intent.
Tang Zheng wanted to fight back, but he couldn't even move his fingers, let alone cast a spell. Killing Chu Chongyang was the best he could do.
He did not regret it. If Chu Chongyang did not die today, he would definitely become a big problem for Tang Zheng in the future. He would be a serious threat to him.
Moreover, Chu Chongyang had already made up his mind to kill him. Leaving him alive in this world, Tang Zheng was tired of living.
Seeing Chu Mingxuan closing in on Tang Zheng step by step, it was as if the God of Death was slowly approaching him. An oppressive feeling of death instantly enveloped him.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, an explosive shout rang out, and a tall figure blocked in front of Tang Zheng, blocking Chu Mingxuan without yielding an inch.
This person was Qin Batian.
Shock still remained on his face, but the determination between his brows did not decrease in the slightest as he stared at Chu Mingxuan fearlessly.
Chu Mingxuan was forced to stop in his tracks and growled, "Qin Batian, scram!"
Qin Batian's expression did not change as he said, "You can't kill him."
"He killed my father. I want to take revenge for him." Chu Mingxuan said as he clenched his teeth.
Qin Batian had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Chu Chongyang did not hesitate to use his identity as the Patriarch to personally kill Tang Zheng. However, his luck was bad and he was killed instead.
Killing someone, if you don't kill me, then I kill you. This was an extremely normal thing.
When you kill others, you have to be prepared to be killed by others. This was the most basic awareness.
"Although I also feel regretful for your father's death, I am indebted to Tang Zheng. I will not watch as he is killed." Qin Batian said resolutely.
"You want to become enemies with my Chu Family?" Chu Mingxuan's eyes turned cold as he asked.
The corner of Qin Batian's mouth curled up as he said, "I do not want to become enemies with the Chu Family. However, if anyone wants to kill Tang Zheng, they can only do so by stepping over my body."
The curve of Qin Batian's mouth was an unspoken message. Once Chu Chongyang died, the Chu Family would lose their pillar of support.
The Chu Family would immediately enter a period of decline, and might even be directly wiped off from this world. This was the competition between large families. The law of the jungle was cruel and realistic.
Without Chu Chongyang, the Chu Family was already like a tiger without its teeth. Qin Batian did not need to be afraid, so he had the courage and confidence to fight against Chu Mingxuan.
Chu Mingxuan was a smart person and immediately understood the deep meaning behind this. His face turned ashen, but he was not willing to retreat and said, "Whoever dares to stop me will die with that brat."
Qin Batian did not move at all.
The meaning of this was self-evident. Qin Batian had completely stood on the opposite side of the Chu Family, and the expressions of everyone present changed at the same time.
The people of the Chu Family were furious. There was actually someone who dared to provoke the Chu Family, while Hei Zi clenched his fists in excitement.
Now that the Chu Family was no longer powerful, he could snatch even more territory from the other party's hands and obtain even greater benefits.
"Kill!" Chu Mingxuan roared, and pounced towards Qin Batian. Qin Batian punched out, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged more than a hundred moves. Qin Batian focused on defense, while Chu Mingxuan only focused on attacking crazily.
However, Chu Mingxuan was still unable to break through Qin Batian's defense, and his actions were useless.
"Chu Mingxuan, you and I are both sixth stage Precelestial Stage warriors, and you were heavily injured a few months ago and have yet to recover. Therefore, you are not my opponent, so there is no need to do useless things." Qin Batian advised.
He did not take advantage of the situation to kill the other party. He was different from Tang Zheng. He had too many fetters and was bound by too many formless rules, so he could not act recklessly.
Chu Mingxuan naturally understood that his skills were inferior, but the blow this time was too big, so he only focused on attacking, attempting to break through Qin Batian's defense.
However, Qin Batian's defense was watertight, and there were no openings. Everything Chu Mingxuan did was futile.
"Chu Mingxuan, if you continue to force me, then I will not be polite anymore." Seeing the other party pestering him, even the clay figurine was a little angry. His anger was aroused, and he said with a gloomy face.
His attacks suddenly changed, becoming incomparably powerful. Chu Mingxuan retreated step by step, and finally fell on his butt, looking battered and exhausted.
Qin Batian's fist stopped a millimeter away from Chu Mingxuan's forehead, and the wind from the fist made him unable to open his eyes.
"Give up, I don't want to kill you." Qin Batian persuaded earnestly.
Chu Mingxuan's eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone, staring fixedly at Qin Batian, but he calmly accepted it and did not look askance.
"Qin Batian, from now on, you are the enemy of the Chu Clan. We will definitely kill you." Chu Mingxuan clenched his teeth and said fiercely.
"Come, I'll take whatever moves you have." Qin Batian shrugged and said indifferently.
Chu Mingxuan crawled up, pulled out the Shooting Sun Arrow, and hugged Chu Chongyang's corpse. He led his subordinates in the direction of the Chu Clan, and the atmosphere was incomparably bleak.
Qin Batian crouched down and asked, "Tang Zheng, how are you?"
"I'm fine, but I need time to recover." Tang Zheng said weakly.
He was indeed not heavily injured, and only suffered some light injuries. There was no danger to his life, but he still needed to rest for a few days.
Qin Batian heard this and nodded, unable to conceal his shock. He praised, "You killed Chu Chongyang, yet you are not heavily injured. Truly admirable."
Tang Zheng squeezed out a smile and said, "This was all based on luck. Moreover, if you were not here, even if I killed him, it would still be difficult for me to escape death."
"You saved Hongqing's life, so this is what I should do." Qin Batian smiled.
"Help me put away the bow and arrows."
"Hei Zi, quickly put it away." Qin Batian instructed. He had seen the power of the divine bow and arrows, so he naturally knew how precious they were.
Hei Zi hurriedly and carefully put away the bow and arrows. He held it with both hands, as if he was holding a sacred object.
The few of them left, leaving behind only this tragic and messy battlefield. Although not many people had witnessed this life and death battle, the news of this battle was like snowflakes falling from the sky, quickly flying into the ears of those who were interested in the capital.
This news caused the blood of the people involved to boil.
In this world, how many people had not heard news of a Martial Scholar dying in battle? Most of the Martial Scholars died of natural causes.
But today, a Martial Scholar had died, and he was even the head of the Chu Family. These people were very clear about what this meant.
Many people had already started to plan, preparing to take a bite out of the colossus that was the Chu Family. This fellow had already lost his fangs, and did not pose much of a threat, so it was the best opportunity to divide and eat.
The competition between the various clans and powers was extremely cruel. There was not the slightest bit of mercy to speak of. Every battle was a life and death battle.
This huge scheme was immediately unfolded step by step. The various industries of the Chu Family were completely attacked, and the powers that were hiding in the dark all raised their heads.
In the past, they were all docile sheep, but now that they had revealed their fangs, they realized that they were all jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.
Of course, the attention of the other main character quickly increased.
Tang Zheng was originally famous in the capital's circle. Back then, he had killed the Precelestial Stage expert of the Chu Family, and then caused a ruckus at Yan Potian's birthday banquet. Furthermore, he had retreated unscathed, causing no one to dare underestimate him.
Of course, Tang Zheng's identity as a cultivator caused him to become the focus of attention.
It was just that no one expected that he would do such an earth-shattering feat in just a few days after returning to the capital, causing people to find it hard to digest.
Many people's attitude towards Tang Zheng quickly changed. Those who were originally prepared to secretly deal with Tang Zheng immediately stopped and silently paid attention to Tang Zheng.
