His reaction in the blink of an eye could only be described as' stunning 'in the eyes of the crowd. What a fast reaction speed!
In contrast to Fu Qing, Murong Xinghua, and Xu Tangran, who were caught off guard, Invincible Eagle was the only one who reacted faster. With a flip of his hand, he tossed out a spear to block the incoming assassin.
The moment the precious light of the bow and arrow flowed, many people who wanted to see what Great Commander Niu looked like finally saw clearly at this moment. The sudden appearance of the precious light shone on his resolute face, cold, unexpectedly calm in the face of life and death!
He didn't have time to fire all three arrows at once, so he had to fire one first.
As the arrow flew out, its transcendence energy surged. The palace gate behind Miao Yi collapsed, and the shockwave created a hole filled with smoke and dust. Behind him, the ground beneath his feet cracked like a spider's web. Unlike shooting an arrow in space, where it didn't show much, the power of the Transcendence Bow was evident.
With the palace gate collapsing, Miao Yi's final escape route was cut off. The entire Citadel Palace was under the protection of the formation, and the palace gate was the only entrance to the formation. Once the palace gate was destroyed, the formation immediately sealed the only entrance and exit. One could vaguely see a huge, pale silver bowl covering the entire Citadel Palace. It flickered for a moment, then disappeared.
Invincible Eagle's reaction was slightly faster when he threw the spear. After all, he didn't have to draw the bowstring. However, the Meteor Arrow arrived first, and its speed instantly surpassed that of the spear.
"Immortal-Binding Rope!" Fu Qing bellowed, tossing out a spear as well.
The assassin clearly didn't expect someone in this group to have such quick reflexes. He was only a hundred zhang away from hitting Miao Yi. A hundred zhang was nothing to a Colorful Lotus cultivator, but a hundred zhang was more than enough to change the outcome of a battle. Using this distance, the assassin met the incoming meteor arrow head-on.
The assassin's reaction wasn't slow either. He somersaulted in the air, but unexpectedly, the shooting light also turned and chased after him.
Invincible Eagle and Fu Qing's spears whistled through the air, shooting straight into the distance. The assassin dodged them.
The Meteor Arrow's sudden change in direction was obviously out of the assassin's expectation. However, he didn't have time to think about it. Seeing that the Meteor Arrow was about to hit him, the sword in his hand suddenly slashed towards the incoming light. Unexpectedly, the treasured sword slashed through the stream of light. It had clearly hit the target, but it seemed to have hit nothingness. The treasured sword flashed through the stream of light.
Missed! The assassin's pupils abruptly shrank, as though he had just recalled something. After all, Miao Yi's ability to sneak in and out of the million-strong army was no longer a secret. Naturally, the Transcendence Bow and Meteor Arrow were no longer a secret either.
However, it was too late for him to react. A stream of light suddenly appeared in front of his chest. An arrow made of high-purity red crystal with a rotating black dot the size of a green bean on top of it broke through his protective shield and hit his chest.
Bang! The Meteor Arrow directly pierced through his chest, creating a fist-sized bloody hole in his chest. The bright moon could be seen.
The Meteor Arrow shot out from his back, piercing through the droplets of blood. It was a fatal strike!
"Ahhh!" The assassin let out a cry of anguish. He abruptly swung his hand, throwing the sword in his hand at Miao Yi like a bolt of lightning.
After shooting out the arrow, Miao Yi lightly flicked his fingers. Another Meteor Arrow was drawn, and a brilliant light flashed as it shot out with a bang.
This time, the stream of light almost brushed past the incoming sword. Seeing that the assassin still had the strength to retaliate, Miao Yi didn't bother to block the incoming sword. Instead, the stream of light shot towards the assassin, intending to kill him once and for all!
The assassin wanted to kill Miao Yi, and Miao Yi wanted to kill the assassin. The two of them exchanged blows in an instant. The thrilling scene caused many to widen their eyes. Yun Zhiqiu and the others were so shocked that they couldn't even speak. Their mouths were agape …
Colorful Lotus cultivator's final attack was no small matter. Fu Qing, Ying Wudi, Murong Xing Hua, and Xu Tangran took out their weapons at the same time in an attempt to block it, but they were still a step too late. Only Ying Wudi's weapon managed to touch the end of the treasured sword, but the opponent's cultivation was too high. Ying Wudi's touch was completely useless, and instead, he was forced to take a step back.
The four of them had looks of horror on their faces as they turned their heads in unison. Their eyes widened as they watched the sword fly towards Miao Yi.
Bang! Miao Yi's protective shield was instantly pierced through. It was completely useless against such an expert.
Tilting his head! Abruptly tilting his head, Miao Yi tilted his head with incredible speed. He was so fast that he didn't even have time to change his stance.
The incoming sword flew between Miao Yi's left shoulder and head, almost brushing past Miao Yi's neck.
Even though the sword didn't hit Miao Yi, the aftershock of the attack forced Miao Yi, who hadn't changed his stance at all, to slide back three feet. Half of the clothes on his shoulder were torn to shreds. Half of his chest, shoulder, and one of his arms were exposed to the air, revealing half of his muscular body. His neatly tied hair was disheveled, fluttering in the wind.
Bang! The sword stopped in the air behind him. The pale white 'bowl' that was holding the City-Guarding Palace appeared once again. The membrane had trapped the sword, causing it to tremble incessantly. Light flowed across the membrane, neutralizing the sword's attack and protecting the City-Guarding Palace.
The second Meteor Arrow flew over. The dying assassin couldn't avoid it. He could only watch as the Meteor Arrow appeared and flew straight towards his face. His eyes reflected the reflection of the arrow.
In that instant, he remembered how he had contacted his superiors. They had promised him a great reward and ordered him to kill Niu Youde. He knew the consequences of openly attacking the Grand Commander of Heaven's Avenue, but he didn't dare disobey. If he didn't, he would die. But he didn't expect that he would die as well.
Bang! He didn't have time to think. The Meteor Arrow exploded his head.
At that moment, Fu Qing shouted 'Immortal Binding Rope!' and the people below took out their ropes. Before anyone could react, the assassination ended with the assassin's body falling to the ground. The spears that he and the Invincible Eagle had thrown had only just revealed the formation that covered Heaven's Avenue. It was obvious how fast they had exchanged blows.
Whoosh whoosh! The two Meteor Arrows flew back one after the other. Miao Yi caught them with one hand and tilted his head to the side. Only then did his head slowly return to normal. He slowly retracted his horse stance and raised his bow to grab the arrows. Half of his muscular body was exposed, and his hair was disheveled. Behind him was the ruins of the collapsed palace gates. Bao Lian, who had returned first, was standing behind the palace gates, looking outside in shock.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Miao Yi. The entire scene was so quiet that only the sound of blood flowing could be heard.
Everyone was amazed by Miao Yi's reaction speed. They were even more amazed by his calmness. He didn't panic in the face of death. Otherwise, no one would know who would be the one to die. Everyone looked at this Great Commander with awe in their eyes. Many people sighed inwardly. As expected of a hero who single-handedly fought against an army of a million soldiers. He really lives up to his reputation!
What they didn't know was that Miao Yi had no other choice. At that moment, he had already used whatever he could find. He couldn't afford to waste any time choosing. He had wanted to use the Indestructible Bow, but now that he had the Transcendence Breaker Bow, he had no choice but to use it. He didn't even have time to fire three arrows at once. He only managed to fire one arrow in a hurry. It was clear how urgent the situation was. His opponent was simply too strong, and he didn't have much time to react.
Fortunately, he was at the gates of the Guardian Palace. Not only was there a wide street between them, but there was also a large number of soldiers guarding the area, preventing the assassin from getting close. This gave Miao Yi some time to react. If it had been a close-range ambush like the one at the Spring Flower Autumn Moon Brothel, he would have been dead.
Yun Zhiqiu and the other wives and concubines were finally able to relax, but their hearts were still racing. Even Fa Yin, who had been chanting Buddhist scriptures to release the souls of those eight thousand people, slowly lowered her hands and stared at Miao Yi with wide eyes. At first, she blamed Miao Yi for being too cruel. But now, she realized that the others wouldn't be polite to Miao Yi either.
Still in a state of shock, Ji Meili and the others stared at Miao Yi, who stood tall with disheveled hair, with a complicated look in their eyes!
Even though Miao Yi had been taking care of these women, it was impossible to say that none of them had any complaints about him having multiple wives and concubines. It was only now that they realized how difficult it was for Miao Yi to take care of them. It wasn't as easy as sitting in the lucrative position of the Great Commander of Celestial Avenue. Their comfort and comfort was something that Miao Yi had exchanged with his life. Not only did this man have to face fatal attacks from outsiders, such as the assassination attempt before him, but he also had to be on guard against betrayals from his own people at all times. Another example would be the betrayal of his five in-laws. He probably didn't live comfortably with so many women around him.
It was obvious that if Miao Yi had died just now, their good days in the outside world would have come to an end as well!
With his hair disheveled, Miao Yi stood quietly in front of the collapsed palace gates and looked around coldly. He looked calm on the surface, but deep down, he was terrified. Only he knew that the places where the astral winds from the sword artifact had grazed were still numb and aching.
His gaze only lingered on Yun Zhiqiu and the others for a moment before he continued scanning the crowd to see if there were anyone else suspicious. He was worried that someone else would try to cause trouble. After all, there were too many people who wanted to kill him. However, he didn't think that someone would dare to try to assassinate him in public. He was the Great Commander who guarded a region on behalf of the heavens. It seemed like someone had even disregarded his bottom line and openly disrespected the Celestial Emperor. This was extremely dangerous for him!
If even the tiger pelt he was wearing couldn't protect him, then there were too many people who could kill him!
On a distant rooftop, Zhongli Kuai and the others, who had changed their clothes and changed their appearances, were also terrified.
The city gates were still sealed, so they couldn't get out for the time being. Who knew that someone would try to assassinate Miao Yi before they could even catch up to him? When they realized what had happened, they were too far away. Even if Qian Luo wanted to stop them, it was too late. It was too sudden.
Seeing that Miao Yi was unharmed and had even killed the Colorful Lotus cultivator, Qian Luo nodded slightly and praised, "Good job, kid. Your ability to remain calm and adapt to situations is not bad. It's not a fluke that you managed to survive this!" With a wave of his hand, Qian Luo led the other three down from the rooftop and quickly approached the City-Guarding Palace to prevent anyone from attacking Miao Yi again.
'Clang!' The sword artifact embedded in the protective array fell to the ground. Fu Qing and the others, who were staring at Miao Yi in shock, finally came to their senses.
"Milord, are you alright?" the Fourth Commander asked anxiously.
Miao Yi shook his head slightly, his cold gaze still scanning the crowd.
The Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals below also came to their senses. A group of them immediately rushed over to the fallen assassin's corpse, and with a flurry of swords and spears, they chopped the corpse into meat paste.
