Chapter 256   - Turning the Peak

"Retreat!"

The frightening pressure came quickly and left quickly, outside Crescent City. With a deep shout, the soldiers who were still immersed in shock were awakened. All of a sudden, they abandoned their opponents and sprinted towards the west of the city along the city wall.

"Chase!"

Tang Xiong roared loudly as the warriors and soldiers of the Great Tang Empire chased after him one after another. However, he still ran back with a dark expression.

By the side of the broken carriage, over two hundred Martial Warriors s had already gathered in a tight circle. In this team, there was only one mission for this group of people, and that was to protect Tang Huan. No matter what happened around them, they were not allowed to leave.

Because of this, they didn't participate in the slaughter.

However, even though they did not take the initiative to participate, it did not mean that they could avoid it. At the same time the two squads clashed, quite a few Sha Long Empire warriors went around the interception in front of them and charged towards them. Although it was just a moment of confusion, they were able to stabilize themselves.

However, in that chaotic moment, the archer had launched his attack.

Within Martial Warriors, there were extremely few archers, and the higher the rank of Martial Warriors, the more so. To the Martial Warriors, being an Archer was not something that could be done with a bow and arrow. To be able to unleash a strong power from the bow and arrow, one needed a special method to match it, and it was extremely difficult to learn these techniques.

Therefore, among the high ranking Martial Warriors s, archers were even rarer.

Among all the Martial Lord s at the eighth step, the number of archers could be counted with one palm and the number of archers was slightly more among the Stage Seven Martial Master s. The archer hiding on the left side of the road was most likely the Stage Seven Martial Master. If such an expert were to shoot an arrow, the Stage Six Martial Master would not be able to block him.

Fortunately, the other carriage had Divine Weapon Pavilion s of the eighth step on it, so they were not too worried.

But who would have thought that there was actually a hidden "Secluded Night Divine Palace" killer nearby, and that the killer was also a very powerful archer.

For Tang Huan to be able to use his own strength to block the first two arrows, could already be considered a miracle. Unfortunately, the miracle did not continue on and Tang Huan was still hit by the third arrow from the "Secluded Night Divine Palace".

After being hit by the Secluded Night Divine Palace's "Specter Arrows", not to mention a of the eighth step, not even a Stage Nine Martial Saint would be able to survive.

Tang Huan was only a Stage Six Martial Master, so his chances of survival were close to zero.

Amongst the crowd, Mu Kui clearly had the same thought as the warriors around him. Looking at Tang Huan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his expression had already become extremely gloomy and there was uncontrollable rage between his brows.

The little girl had long slipped down from Tang Huan's back. She pursed her lips and sat opposite him with a tight face, thinking about something.

But as time passed, both the little girl and Mu Kui revealed looks of surprise.

From the moment Tang Huan had sat down, let alone ten breaths, even if it took twenty breaths of time, Tang Huan had not shown any signs of a backlash from the Genuine Qi at all.

In next to no time, the surrounding officers noticed this as well and couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.magic

"Haha, this old man understands!"

After a long while, Mu Kui seemed to have thought of something and jumped up, dancing and laughing like a child.

"Understand what?" A rough voice sounded. It was Tang Xiong who'd separated the surrounding officers and walked in.

"The Phantom Arrow contains cold yin energy, but the Nirvana Sacred Fire contains extreme yang energy, coincidentally the bane of the arrow. Once Tang Huan has fused with the Nirvana Sacred Fire, forget about taking one Phantom Arrow, even if he had hit two or three, so what as long as it does not harm his vital parts, what can he do?" Mu Kui was all smiles.

"That's right, why didn't I think of that!"

Tang Xiong stared blankly for a moment before clapping his hands and laughing out loud. When he sensed that there was an assassin from the "Secluded Night Divine Palace" attacking Tang Huan, he was also frightened out of his wits. Especially when he saw the scene where Tang Huan was shot, he was already close to despair.

Unexpectedly, after returning here, things had actually taken a turn for the worse.

Hearing Mu Kui's words, the surrounding soldiers all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Senior Mu Kui, I will leave this to you. I will go over to take a look, if I don't kill a few more of those trash, how will I be able to take it all in?" After a short moment of relaxing, Tang Xiong's face was once again filled with anger. With killing intent, he chased after Sha Long Empire's soldiers.

"Everyone, I'll have to trouble you to pay more attention to your surroundings. Right now, it might not truly be safe." Mu Kui shook his head helplessly and ordered.

"Yes sir!" The surrounding crowd loudly agreed.

"..."The battle outside the city had ended, and the archers on the left side of the city had also disappeared. There were also people searching for those two places, but no one knew if there would still be other sharp arrows coming from other directions. As a result, no one dared to relax their vigilance.

Under the heavy encirclement of the numerous Martial Warriors, Tang Huan still remained motionless.

At this moment, Tang Huan had already activated the "Spiritual Arts of Universal Truth" to the limit, while the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the third stage Spiritual Wheel were also frantically spinning. When the [Specter Arrows] landed on his left shoulder, Tang Huan realized that the situation was not good. He immediately sat down and started to circulate his techniques.

The instant the "Ghost Magic Arrow" melted into his body, it had already turned into a cold and violent energy that rapidly spread throughout his body. In just the time it took to snap a finger, half of Tang Huan's body started to become stiff, and the Genuine Qi also started to go berserk, showing signs of losing control.

But at the same time, the incomparably blazing power of the Spiritual Fire began to flow out of the cauldron unceasingly, and under the protection of the Genuine Qi, it flew back and forth along the Spiritual Meridian at a fast speed. In an instant, the power of the Spiritual Fire had already spread throughout all of his limbs and organs, and quickly rushed towards the cold and gloomy energy.

Time passed bit by bit, and the space where the cold energy existed was also compressed bit by bit.

"It's finally done!"

After an unknown period of time, Tang Huan's right hand grabbed the wound on his left shoulder.

After that, a ball of black Qi entered his palm, and a biting cold feeling continuously spread out. Many of the surrounding Martial Warriors could not help but shiver, and in Tang Huan's palm, a ball of blazing fire immediately appeared, enveloping the ball of black Qi tightly.

Within the time of one to two breaths, the ball of black Qi had already disappeared from within the flames.

"Kid, are you alright?"

A surprised voice entered his ears, Tang Huan raised his head and looked, only to see two familiar faces, other than Mu Kui who returned with him, Divine Weapon Pavilion was also here, his face had an expression of lingering fear.

"I'm fine."

Tang Huan looked at his left shoulder. The wound was not big, and no longer bleeding.

After expelling the black gas that had melted the "Phantom Arrow", all that was left on his shoulder was a flesh wound; it was not a major problem. Fortunately the [Specter Arrows] were dissolved when they entered the body, if it was a sharp arrow forged from ore, Tang Huan's left arm would probably be crippled.

Of course, if it was a normal sharp arrow, it might not be able to hit Tang Huan.
