To think that Xue Ying would actually try to kill him in front of so many people. This action was beyond Ye Xing's expectations.
However, if Xue Ying really killed Ye Xing, although it was against the rules of the Palace, killing a fellow disciple in public would have a huge impact and he would not be able to avoid punishment.
However, as a core disciple, Xue Ying's status was much higher than that of an inner disciple, and he was eager to avenge his brother. If he was willing, he would probably be pardoned from the death penalty and would only suffer some punishment.
Because of this, Xue Ying dared to kill him in front of so many people.
If he captured Ye Xing and let the Disciplinary Hall sentence Ye Xing, Ye Xing would insist that he did not kill Xue Ziyi. In the Heavenly Bow Continent, he had broken the restrictions of the Heavenly Bow Hall and allowed the Dark Star Temple to obtain a large number of God-tier treasures. He had made a great contribution. If there was no conclusive evidence and only some rumors, there would be no way to convict him.
However, if Ye Xing died, there would be no way to prove whether he had killed Xue Ziyi. There was no proof. Of course, Xue Ying wanted to kill Ye Xing on the spot.
The Baleful Wind Star Form made the Baleful Sword Light as fast as lightning. It only took an instant for it to appear and fall.
No one believed that Ye Xing would be able to dodge this attack, and no one believed that he would be able to block it.
However, Ye Xing's speed was not something that an ordinary Quasi God could compare to.
When Xue Ying took out the Divine Sword, Ye Xing immediately attached arrow will to his body. The Azure Cloud Wings appeared on his back, and he instantly traveled through the void.
Whoosh!
The Baleful Sword Light slashed at the challenge platform. Ye Xing's figure instantly appeared a hundred miles away, standing in the void.
Ye Xing traveled through the void so quickly that the inner disciples did not notice that Ye Xing had left the challenge platform in the blink of an eye.
However, as a Quasi God, Xue Ying was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the void. He clearly knew that Ye Xing had dodged the sword.
One breath later, Ye Xing was already several hundred li away from Xue Ying, standing at the same height.
In the inner sanctum of the Dark Star Divine Palace, the Forbidden Flight Array could restrict martial artists below the Quasi God Realm from flying more than thirty meters above the ground. However, it could not restrict Ye Xing. Although he was an Eight-Star King, his mastery of three Great Daos of Heaven and Earth had reached the Minor Completion Realm. His mastery of Arrow Intent was at the peak of the Space Binding Realm. The aura he exuded was even stronger than that of an average Quasi God.
Moreover, the Azure Cloud Wings were already a Divine Artifact and a Divine Grade Flying Treasure. It had the ability to shatter the restrictions of the void. Even though Ye Xing was only an Eight Star King, he could still fly 30 meters above the ground.
Xue Ying's pupils shrank. He attributed Ye Xing's speed and Ye Xing's ability to fly thirty meters above the ground to the flying artifact behind him.
The value of a Divine Artifact was comparable to a mid-grade Divine Artifact. It was an extremely precious treasure to a Quasi God.
Xue Ying wanted nothing, but Ye Xing did. This caused Xue Ying's killing intent to soar. If he killed Ye Xing and obtained Ye Xing's belongings, it was not impossible. As long as the Disciplinary Hall did not require him to hand over Ye Xing's belongings, they would naturally belong to him.
"Die …!"
Xue Ying roared. With a single step, he covered several hundred li. His low-grade Divine Sword carried a terrifying Sword Baleful Astral Light as it shot forward.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Ye Xing was once again faced with a fatal attack.
It was only when Xue Ying charged at Ye Xing again that the inner disciples realized that Ye Xing had dodged the attack. Their faces were filled with shock.
Ye Xing did not dodge Xue Ying's attack. He had already drawn the Azure Sandalwood Divine Bow and condensed a pale white flame arrow.
The moment the Sword Baleful Astral Light shot out, Ye Xing released the bowstring and the flame arrow shot out.
Boom!
The flame arrow collided with the Sword Baleful Astral Light, releasing a heaven-shaking explosion.
A terrifying destructive ripple spread out from the point of explosion in all directions like a ball.
The shockwaves from the clash of Quasi Gods were simply too great. The formations of the Dark Star Sacred Hall immediately reacted and activated on their own, suppressing the destructive shockwaves. Otherwise, the shockwaves alone would have been enough to shatter the earth and topple the mountains.
With a loud explosion, the Sword Baleful Astral Light was destroyed layer by layer. The flame arrow pierced through the Sword Baleful Astral Light and continued to shoot toward Xue Ying.
The inner disciples couldn't help but rub their eyes. In this exchange, Ye Xing was actually the stronger one?
Xue Ying hurriedly recalled his Divine Sword. After the flame arrow pierced through the Sword Baleful Astral Light, its strength was greatly weakened and Xue Ying blocked it with his sword. Even so, the terrifying strength still forced Xue Ying back a hundred meters.
Xue Ying was flabbergasted. He had never imagined that Ye Xing's archery would be so powerful that it was even a level higher than his. It was on par with an attack from a Quasi-God of Nirvana.
Hu –
Just as Xue Ying was panicking, an invisible strength suddenly descended and locked onto Xue Ying. The void around him instantly froze.
The Blue Sandalwood Divine Bow condensed a pale white flame arrow once more. It locked onto Ye Xing and a powerful spatial binding force enveloped Xue Ying.
Whoosh –
The flame arrow instantly left the bow and shot out, piercing through the void.
Xue Ying erupted his strength to the limit and barely managed to break free from the spatial binding force. He didn't have time to dodge, so he could only use the Big Dipper Fiend Sword Art to resist.
Bang –
The Sword Baleful Astral Light was instantly scattered and the flame arrow pierced through Xue Ying's left arm. Xue Ying immediately screamed out in pain and was sent flying back several thousand meters.
In the blink of an eye, the left arm that was struck by the flame arrow was completely pulverized. Even the flesh and blood couldn't be stopped.
It wasn't until a breath of time later that the terrifying strength dissipated and Xue Ying's left arm regrew. But, his vitality had been consumed by 20-30%. This left Xue Ying panic-stricken.
Whoosh –
Xue Ying followed the strength of this arrow and quickly fled. He didn't dare to stay. With Ye Xing's archery skills, several arrows would be enough to take his life.
Ye Xing didn't chase after him. Xue Ying wanted to kill him because he wanted to take revenge for his little brother. If Ye Xing killed Xue Ying, it would at most be considered revenge. He wouldn't be able to escape the death penalty, so he could only teach Xue Ying a lesson.
Otherwise, the arrow just now wouldn't have hit his arm, but his head or body. That arrow would have consumed all of his life force, and he would have died in a single shot.
The inner court disciples all looked at Ye Xing, dumbfounded.
Ye Xing had actually defeated Xue Ying and forced Xue Ying to flee. In the Dark Star Divine Palace, an inner court disciple defeating a core disciple hadn't happened for a full 600 years.
After a brief moment of shock, the inner court disciples began to discuss.
"An inner court disciple defeating a core disciple. Since Xue Baotong from 600 years ago, this hasn't happened again …!"
"I really didn't expect Ye Xing to have such heaven-defying strength. He's only an eight-star King, but not even a one-nirvana Quasi-God is his match."
"600 years ago, Xue Baotong was able to defeat a one-nirvana Quasi-God and was already at the peak of the ninth level of the Astral Sea realm. Ye Xing is only an eight-star King, so he's even more heaven-defying!"
"An eight-star King defeating a one-nirvana Quasi-God hasn't happened for tens of thousands of years. Ten thousand years ago, when the Divine Emperor was still an inner court disciple, an eight-star King defeated a one-nirvana Quasi-God …!"
