No one could describe how fast that arrow was. If it wasn't for the shock brought by the strong light to the eyes, it was very likely that they would think that it was just an illusion.
Although Wang Meng's gaze wandered, it never left Shui Lingling's right hand, which was drawing the bowstring. Before Shui Lingling let go, Wang Meng had already dodged.
The instant the light vanished, Wang Meng had already retreated a hundred meters. A finger-sized hole appeared where he originally stood. It was dark and deep, and no one knew how deep it was.
The entire place was calm, except for the sound of the wind. The air froze and lingered for a long time, looking very strange.
Hu Hai and the other two knew Shui Lingling's strength. The instant she released the arrow, they immediately retreated. Xiao Chen followed suit, following his instincts.
"Bang!"
Indeed, everything that happened earlier was just the calm before the storm. The Profound Yang Arrow, which had penetrated an unknown distance into the ground, suddenly exploded.
The flat ground suddenly cracked, and the crack extended for a kilometer. Countless pieces of mud splattered in all directions like fairies scattering their wings.
"Rumble …!" The ground trembled, and mud poured down like a torrential rain. When one looked up, they saw many huge pieces of mud the size of small hills.
Supported by the shock waves, the mud floated up into the sky. The scene was very chaotic, spectacular, and shocking.
"First Senior Sister is really angry."
"In the cave, First Senior Sister could not bring out her strength at all. Now that she is in such an open space, she has nothing to worry about."
Hu Hai and the other two were flabbergasted. They had not seen Shui Lingling this angry in a long time. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Mud and rocks flew everywhere. Wang Meng held his Dragon Tooth Saber in the chaotic sky as he calmly leaped from one huge rock to another, approaching Shui Lingling.
Her fine black hair fluttered like a waterfall. Shui Lingling's gentle face turned cold. Her purple robes fluttered, and killing Qi radiated from her body.
Xiao Chen drew back the bowstring and let go. Three beams of fire each flew out in arcs. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, direct and efficient, without any pause.
"Bang!"
The three streams of flames shattered a huge rock under Wang Meng's feet. The flowing light turned into a blazing flame that swept out.
Wang Meng's body swayed in the air like a kite.
Shui Lingling pushed off the ground with her toes and her graceful figure quickly jumped up from the ground. She pulled the bowstring and a stream of fire shot out.
The red light shone in the dusky space, like fireworks blooming, the light never extinguishing, never extinguishing.
Amidst the boundless flames, Wang Meng's agile body could be seen weaving through the arrows, trying to get closer to Shui Lingling.
However, the terrain here was wide and flat, stretching out endlessly.
Her fine black hair fluttered in the wind. That graceful purple figure was like a fairy, nimbly leaping about. She did not give Wang Meng any chance to get close at all. Instead, she forced Wang Meng to deal with her.
The direction in which Shui Lingling shot her arrows was very particular. Her figure jumped and formed a huge circle.
In the end, the radius of the circle continued to shrink, and the space that Wang Meng could dodge to was getting smaller and smaller. The situation did not look good for Wang Meng. Although the arrows did not hit Wang Meng, the shockwaves from the explosion of the flowing light drained his protective Quintessence.
The arrows were like light, flickering and disappearing. They were extremely fast, making everyone tense up at all times. They did not dare to relax at all, putting immense mental pressure on them.
"Damn it! To think that I'm fighting with Shui Lingling on a plain. It looks like I really went crazy!"
Wang Meng could not help cursing in a low voice when he dodged an arrow. However, the shockwaves sent him flying.
After thinking for a while, Wang Meng gave up on his original plan. He charged out of Shui Lingling's formless encirclement and flew back.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen gave up on his original plan. He charged out of Shui Lingling's formless encirclement and flew back.
Shui Lingling held up her bow and gave chase. As the flowing light shot out, a thousand-meter-long pit occasionally appeared on the flat ground, flabbergasting everyone.
The two of them disappeared from Hu Hai's and the others' sight for a long time. However, they could still occasionally hear loud explosions coming from the distance.
Xiao Chen looked into the distance for a long time before withdrawing his gaze. He said, "There is no need to chase so far, right?"
A smile flashed on Jun Si's face. She said softly, "First Senior Sister, this is to help you deal with this problem. Wang Meng has always been insolent. He is the kind of person who will vent his anger.
"If you only chase him away, he will come and seek trouble for you sooner or later. You have to make him back off."
Hu Hai said, "Let's go as well. The direction that Wang Meng fled in is also the exit of the Savage Battlefield."
The group followed the battle marks that Shui Lingling left behind and quickly gave chase. Who would have imagined that they would walk for three days and three nights?
Explosions and flares occasionally rang out in front. After chasing for three days, Shui Lingling still did not give up. Wang Meng was in a miserable state as well.
There were many cultivators outside the exit of the Savage Battlefield. These people did not have the strength to enter on their own, but their fellow sect members or friends did.
Hence, they waited here for news, hoping that the people they knew would return safely.
"Move aside! Move aside!"
On this particular day, a loud sound suddenly came from the exit. A man in tattered clothes and covered in dirt, looking like a beggar, rushed out in a hurry while holding a Dragon Tooth Saber.
Holding a Dragon Tooth Saber, he rushed out from inside and shouted at the people blocking his way. A strong aura spread out from his body, forcing everyone to move aside.
"Who is this person? He is so strong, but why is he in such a sorry state?"
That person's hair was charred black, and his face was covered in dirt. His appearance could not be seen clearly, which confused the others.
Only when someone recognized the signature Dragon Tooth Saber did they exclaim in shock, "That is Wang Meng, the most arrogant of the seven giants. Who is so powerful to be able to force him into such a state?"
It was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gazes were immediately drawn over.
Wang Meng's clothes were tattered, his hair was charred, his face was covered in dirt, and his body was covered in wounds.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked dispirited. He looked like a refugee. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Just as everyone was shocked, nine resplendent meteor-like fiery lights shot out from the entrance. Each strand of fiery light was an arrow made of Profound Yang True Flame. They were so dazzling that no one dared to look at them directly.
Wang Meng, who was running forward, sensed the nine swift fiery lights behind him. His eyes were filled with an extremely impatient expression. He seemed to be quite resentful, but there was nothing he could do.
Wang Meng grasped the Dragon Tooth Saber tightly and quickly turned around. Saber lights danced, and the Dragon Tooth Saber seemed to come to life as he swung it nine times.
Every time Wang Meng swung the saber, the arrow would explode. The huge impact blasted a horrifying deep pit in the ground. Shock waves surged and kicked up a lot of dust.
After nine loud explosions, the place where Wang Meng stood was already covered in dust. Thick smoke and dust filled the air. A series of coughs could be clearly heard coming from inside.
"Shui Lingling, you are really ruthless. You chased me for three days and three nights. I have had enough. As for the matter of the half drop of Dragon Marrow, I will not seek trouble for that brat anymore. Can you stop now?! "
Wang Meng roared with all his might amidst the surging dust cloud.
Shui Lingling floated down from the air, holding her purple bow. A gentle expression appeared on her frosty face. She smiled gently and said, "Wouldn't it have been fine if you had said so earlier? Why did you have to seek trouble for yourself?"
When the dust cloud settled, Wang Meng looked at Shui Lingling, who was still in high spirits. She looked like she had no problem chasing him for three days and three nights.
Wang Meng glared hatefully at Xiao Chen and quickly left. This time, he had shown weakness in front of so many people. He had completely lost face.
"So, he was targeted by Shui Lingling in the plains. Wang Meng deserves to be unlucky."
"After Shui Lingling pulled away, even An Junxi, one of the seven giants, would have a hard time dealing with him."
After Shui Lingling appeared, the others finally understood. They felt that Wang Meng's encounter was reasonable and there was nothing to be surprised about.
After another four hours, Xiao Chen's group of four arrived with fatigued expressions. When they saw Shui Lingling's figure, they heaved a sigh of relief.
For the past three days, they had chased relentlessly without any rest. They were indeed very tired.
If even they were in such a state, it was easy to imagine how Wang Meng, who was constantly in danger, had endured the past three days.
Wang Meng's matter allowed Xiao Chen to see another side of Shui Lingling. He could not help but sigh ruefully. Sometimes, when a woman became ruthless, no matter how arrogant or domineering you were, you would have to lower your head and show weakness.
Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen did not feel that there was anything wrong with Wang Meng's suggestion. Ending all grudges with one saber strike was something he could accept.
Only after Shui Lingling explained did Xiao Chen understand. Of the seven giants, Wang Meng's explosive power in close combat was the most horrifying.
Xiao Chen was not like Bai Wuxue, whose state of ice paid particular attention to the aftermath, using cold Qi to kill without anyone realizing it. Xiao Chen's horrifying explosive power could take someone's life in one move.
This matter was just an interlude. It did not disrupt the group's journey. The group of people on the Profound Sun Bird continued on their way back to the Haotian Sect.
Since there was nothing to do along the way, Shui Lingling and the others could not help but ask about what happened after Xiao Chen was swept away by the True Dragon Storm. How did his strength improve so rapidly in just half a month?
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not speak of the matter of the Blue Dragon Palace. He hid it, only saying that he found a Peak Grade Earth Essence Fruit and refined his Quintessence twice.
"Right, that makes sense. In history, the cultivators who succeeded in refining their Quintessence twice would usually erupt with horrifying combat prowess above their cultivation."
After Shui Lingling heard everything, she analyzed seriously, "Furthermore, with your physical body's strength and your accumulations, you can shock the world with one brilliant feat."
Out of curiosity, Jun Si asked, "First Senior Sister, according to what you said, Xiao Chen will be able to defeat Bai Wuxue easily in one year."
Shui Lingling pondered this. Then, she shook her head slightly and said, "It is hard to say. For a cultivator's life, one year is too short. However, this is a special era. Too many things can happen in one year. "
Hu Hai and the others exchanged glances. Then, they asked doubtfully, "What special era? The age of geniuses?"
Shui Lingling nodded and said, "That's right. The next year will be the most crucial year. You spend most of your time in the Haotian Sect and do not have enough contacts. This is the information I obtained from Bushin Palace. "
