Chapter 266 Di Jun Arrives
The Xuanming Arrow is the supreme treasure of the Xuanming tribe, forged by the Xuanming Ancestral Witch using his own bones. There are only ten of them in the world.
Xuanming is the Ancestral Witch of Rain, the God of Winter, the God of the North, in charge of the primordial ice and snow, and a great master of the Dao of Ice!
Therefore, the Xuanming Arrow, forged from the bones of Xuanming, is a top-tier Yin treasure in the world, and the nemesis of the Golden Crow clan. Touching it means certain death!
...
Hou Yi is different from Kuafu. He is a member of the Wu clan born from the blood of Pangu, the first Wu, with an extremely noble birth, far superior to ordinary innate gods and demons.
Even ordinary quasi-saints might not be his match, let alone a Dafeng who doesn't even rank among the demons.
"Get lost!"
Hou Yi punched away the rushing Dafeng and continued to draw his bow and shoot three arrows in the direction the Golden Crows fled.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
With the sound of air being pierced, three more Golden Crows were shot down by Hou Yi.
Hou Yi, the God of Archery, never misses!
Hou Yi's arrows have transcended technique, reaching the level of the Dao.
If he were to advance further, he could, like Feng Zichen, establish the Innate Sword Dao, imprint the Dao of Archery into the very origin of heaven and earth, transforming the acquired into the innate, opening another innate path for the primordial world.
Such a powerful being could easily slay the little golden crows, not to mention that he also wields the Xuanming Arrow, the nemesis of the golden crows.
Today, it is fitting that the ten golden crows suffer this calamity.
"No..."
Seven golden crows have perished tragically, and Da Feng has already foreseen his own fate, a look of despair appearing on his face.
"Hou Yi, let's die together!"
A moment later, seeing Hou Yi aim his bow and arrow at the remaining golden crows, clearly intending to continue the killing spree, Da Feng gritted his teeth, suddenly lunged at Hou Yi's side, and self-destructed with a bang.
"Useless!"
Standing at the center of the explosion, Hou Yi didn't even move, letting the force of Da Feng's self-destruction continuously impact his body.
At this moment, the powerful physique of the Wu Clan was displayed to its fullest extent.
"Great Wu Kuafu, I have avenged you!"
Thinking this, Hou Yi released his bow. Instantly, three black feathered arrows shot out, their target the three remaining Golden Crows.
...
"My son!"
In the Lingxiao Palace, Di Jun suddenly cried out, vomiting blood. Then, before the panicked eyes of the demons in the palace, he vanished.
The ten Golden Crows had met with misfortune one after another; the secrets of heaven, concealed by Zhunti, could no longer be hidden from Di Jun's senses and were detected.
This led to the current scene!
...
The speed of the Xuanming Arrows was incredibly fast; a black light flashed, and two Golden Crows died instantly.
"Second brother..."
On the other side, the Great Golden Crow, seeing another of his two remaining brothers killed, cried out in grief!
At the same time, he also noticed that behind him and behind his tenth brother, a black-feathered arrow was rushing towards him.
"Little brother, you must live!"
"Father, I entrust Mother to you!"
With one last look at the Sun Star, the Great Golden Crow burned its own essence, wielding the Sun God Mirror like a miniature sun, crashing into the Xuanming Arrow aimed at the Ten Golden Crows, shielding him from a fatal blow.
"You must live!"
Having uttered its final words, the Great Golden Crow vanished completely from the world, leaving nothing behind.
"Big brother..."
This scene filled the Ten Golden Crows with bloodlust, wishing they could immediately turn back and fight Hou Yi, but they couldn't.
The Great Golden Crow's sacrifice had given him a chance to escape; he couldn't let the Great Golden Crow's sacrifice be in vain. He had to live, escape back to Heaven, and avenge his brothers.
Suppressing the urge to turn back, the Ten Golden Crows unleashed their full power, using their Rainbow Transformation Technique to fly towards the Heavenly Court. They feared that if they turned back, they would be unable to resist fighting Hou Yi to the death.
"This Great Golden Crow is indeed decisive!"
"However, he will still die!"
Hou Yi recalled the Xuanming Arrow, drew his longbow, and fired an arrow.
"This time, let's see who can save you?"
Hou Yi said, setting down his bow.
"My life is over!"
Under this arrow, the Ten Golden Crows felt that no matter where they were, they could not avoid it; there was truly no escape, no way to avoid it. The shadow of death uncontrollably gripped their hearts.
Just as the Xuanming Arrow was about to strike the Ten Golden Crows, a golden figure suddenly appeared before them, grabbing the arrow.
At the critical moment, Di Jun finally arrived.
Ultimately, the Ten Golden Crows were not destined to die; with the protection of the Sun Star, even though the Golden Crows had committed such atrocities, they still had a sliver of hope.
Ten Golden Crows, nine out of ten perished, their fate sealed, a destiny ordained by Heaven.
"My poor children..."
Gazing at the corpses of the eight Golden Crows on the ground, Emperor Jun's face was a mixture of tears and laughter, clearly overwhelmed with grief.
"Wah!"
"Father, my brothers are all dead!"
"My eldest brother sacrificed his very essence to save me, returning completely to the embrace of the Sun Star, leaving nothing behind."
"Father, you must avenge my brothers!"
Upon seeing Emperor Jun, the fear in the hearts of the ten Golden Crows finally dissipated, and they couldn't help but burst into tears, pleading with him.
"Don't cry! You are the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan. How can you cry?"
Looking at the remaining ten Golden Crows, Emperor Jun spoke sternly.
It was all because he had spoiled the Golden Crows too much that this calamity had occurred.
Emperor Jun truly regretted his past actions!
"Good, very good!"
"Great Witch of the Witch Clan, Primordial Arrow God, you are truly very good!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Emperor Jun sent the ten Golden Crows back to Heaven, then turned to Hou Yi and said. At the same time, he slightly tightened his grip, crushing the Xuanming Arrow into fragments.
"Your Majesty's praise is undeserved!"
"Yi merely rid the primordial world of evil!"
Since Di Jun's appearance, Hou Yi's body had involuntarily tensed, as if encountering the Great Dao, a profound fear arising in his heart.
However, the pride of the Wu Clan did not allow him to bow to his enemy; even in death, he would die standing. Therefore, he sneered at Di Jun:
"Your Majesty has failed in disciplining your son, leading to his chaos in the primordial world and the slaughter of countless lives. How will Your Majesty explain this to the people of the primordial world?"
"Now Yi has slain the great evil in the primordial world, relieving the people from their suffering. How will Your Majesty reward Yi?"
As the ruler of heaven and earth, Di Jun naturally had a responsibility to all living beings; Hou Yi's question was not inappropriate.
"Hmph, sharp-tongued!"
With a cold laugh, Di Jun did not answer Hou Yi's question.
Because Hou Yi was right, this was all the Golden Crow's fault. Killing the Golden Crow was not only without fault, but also a meritorious act.
If Emperor Jun hadn't descended upon this place, disrupting the workings of heaven and earth, merit would have descended upon Hou Yi as a reward.
However, Hou Yi had killed Emperor Jun's nine sons, and Emperor Jun wished he could skin Hou Yi alive; how could he possibly bestow any reward upon him?
"You killed my nine sons! How can I tolerate this? Pay with your life for my poor child!"
Emperor Jun reached out and grabbed at Hou Yi.
