Chapter 509 Xuanyuan Bow, Qiankun Arrow
"Unfortunately, I have only managed to break away from the Way of Use through perception, and comprehend one level of the Way of Change, but I have no experience in fighting, otherwise it would only take a few breaths to deal with these people."
Zhang Mu sighed in his heart. He carried Gu Xiao and ignored the surrounding extra disciples. He just released a lightning ring to control them, and then flew towards the pit where Chi Xia Jun fell.
He could see clearly that the leaders of this group were Chixia Jun and Gu Xiao, and the others were just pawns. As for the leader, whether capturing him alive or killing him would be considered a loss of Dajing's national strength.
The lightning was so fast that it flew over while Zhang Mu was thinking. As soon as he saw Chixia Jun's figure, he realized something was wrong. He waved his hand and slashed, and Chixia Jun's body collapsed into pieces.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Chixia Jun, who had used the method of splitting himself into two to confuse the enemy and whose real body had already left this place, no longer concealed himself. He suddenly rose up, turned into a flying rainbow and fled, running a hundred miles in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu, who let the enemy go without realizing it, was arrogant in his heart and did not want to let this man go easily. He raised his right hand high, and lightning flashed brightly on his hand, buzzing like a bird. Then the lightning flew out of his hand and turned into a white rainbow that penetrated into the thundercloud above his head. The thundercloud changed several times and expanded rapidly. Lightning snakes danced wildly and struck towards Chixia Jun to block his way.
Chi Xiajun was also a decisive person. He immediately released his magic weapons to deal with the situation. The magic weapons left the body one after another and faced the lightning snake. Some of them could still hold on for a moment, but some were turned into powder by the lightning snake. But this also gave him a chance to escape. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he burned his magic power, blood essence, Taoism, and his escape light was mixed with a hint of blood. He became seven or eight points faster and was out of the range of the thundercloud in a blink of an eye. Only Zhang Mu, with a face full of regret, was left stamping his feet.
In Jixia Pass, in a hidden place, several people were looking at the Xuan Guang Mirror in front of them. In the mirror were the fleeing Chi Xia Jun and the annoyed Zhang Mu. Under the fluctuation of magic, the image on the mirror kept jumping and blurring.
A man with a knife came forward and tapped the Xuanguang mirror, and the screen instantly returned to calm: "The products produced by this research institute are not easy to use. Not only is the resolution poor, but there are always some minor problems."
Another person crossed his legs and looked at the screen: "Okay, it's good to have some use. This Xuanguang Mirror is not only easy to refine, but also can be recharged. Even mortals can use it. At most, there are some flaws in resisting spiritual power fluctuations. What a shortcoming."
He looked at Chixia Jun who had turned into a black dot, and said, "The on-site experiment on the Solar Term Order has concluded successfully. Zhang Mu has made further progress under our remote knowledge infusion, which means that artificial enlightenment has become possible. At the same time, the development of the Solar Term Order has been completed step by step. This experiment has also come to an end. The next step is to promote it at designated locations, which is not our responsibility."
The man coughed a few times and said, "I will go back to the imperial capital to restore my name. You stay here to maintain the basic operation of Jixia Pass and deal with the invading enemies."
Someone responded: "Boss, all these weapons are still unopened, why don't we open them for fun?"
Looking around, there were rows of weapon racks with various weapons placed on them, and in the center was a large bow with three arrows lying horizontally underneath.
The leader snorted, "So there was a plan. Who would have thought that Dajing was so incompetent and sent these crooked people over? They were beaten back before these broken weapons could be used. The research institute even asked me to collect weapon data. I can only use them next time. I think those Xuanmen are too contemptuous. They really think they can capture the city by sending a few people at random. Do they think war is just a game?"
The subordinate rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "It's better to do it now than today. There is still a survivor. Let's give it a try." The leader was a little tempted. He continued: "We also need to see if this thing works. As for the research institute, they are eager to let us use it more. Without the loss of military supplies on the front line, how can they have an excuse to ask for research funds?"
The leader thought about it and nodded: "Well, it would be wrong to let one person escape. Let's just put a perfect end to this battle and teach Dajing a lesson!" After that, he waved his hand and signaled his men to take action.
The man received the order, exchanged a glance with the people beside him, and stopped smiling: "The lookout will mark the position, and you will be responsible for predicting and calculating the enemy's route. The main attacker will follow me to attack."
Everyone obeyed the order, and the lookout closed his eyes tightly: "The enemy's position has been anchored and is being tracked."
Another person took out a strange helmet and put it on. Densely packed small needles pierced into his head, but he seemed not to feel the pain: "I am predicting the enemy's trajectory and calculating the escape route." The subordinate reached out and grabbed the longbow on the weapon rack, and the other person held the arrow in his hand. The two of them stroked the weapons in their hands until the longbow and arrows glowed.
"Weapon rendering completed, Xuanyuan bow activated!"
"Weapon rendering completed, Qiankun Arrow activated!"
"Draw your bow and shoot!"
With a light shout, he opened his arms wide, the bow was like a full moon, the arrow fell on the string, and then flew out silently.
"The Qiankun Arrow is in good condition, the wind-breaking component is operating normally, the acceleration component is operating normally, and the law-breaking component is operating normally."
"Secondary acceleration in progress, acceleration completed, trajectory adjusted, debugging completed!"
As the reports came one after another, the Qiankun Arrow broke through the air and then continued to accelerate, leaving behind a cloud of gas explosions and turning into a meteor falling from the sky.
The escaping Chixia Jun could not help but look behind him, and seeing Zhang Mu who was a little exasperated, he could not help but smile in his heart. As long as the green mountains are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood. As long as he is alive, the worst that can happen is that he can make a comeback. Xuanmen will not punish him severely after all out of their past friendship, but will only lift him up high and let him go gently.
"Hmph, although I was defeated today, I may still have a chance to take revenge. We will see the outcome tomorrow. When the righteous path conquers the capital of the Ming Dynasty, I will let you know how powerful I am."
He was secretly mad in his heart, but did not dare to relax. He wrapped himself in the escape light and fled quickly. As for the disciples and fellow disciples who were trapped in the enemy camp, Chixia Jun could only sigh and let them inherit their will and the sect's legacy. If they were not too cold, they might even have to inherit the saint's widow from the same sect.
After all, no matter whether those people died or surrendered, they are now strangers to the righteous. It would be better to take this opportunity to cry in front of the fellow Taoists in Xuanmen, and maybe win some sympathy.
As for the friendship among fellow disciples, it is not something too important to Chixia Jun. Those who seek the Tao should aim for immortality and become immortals, and everything else is external.
As he was thinking about it, Chixia Jun felt less sad and angry. He was thinking about how he would go back and complain about the hardships he had experienced along the way and how he had underestimated the enemy. However, he did not notice a white light flying towards him from behind.
When the Qiankun Arrow tore through the escape light, broke the protective spell, and touched his body, Chixia Jun suddenly realized it, but it was too late.
'When? Why didn't my spiritual sense detect it? Why didn't my protective magic work? And... so... fast!'
With full of suspicion, Chixia Jun was pierced through the heart by the silent Qiankun Arrow and nailed in mid-air. His soul was shattered, and his magic power leaked out and fell into the world, nourishing the local water and soil.
