This time, although the momentum and power were far less than the first three arrows, Chu Zhongze was also at the end of his strength, barely clinging to life with the racial talent of the Ice Cicada. In the previous confrontation, Bu Li and Chu Zhongze both went all out, holding nothing back.
His body flew to the left, but his lower half was entangled by a vine as thick as a child's arm, unable to move an inch. Bu Li did not act rashly, not thinking of a fatal blow, but instead shot an arrow at Chu Zhongze's abdomen. The large area provided more room for maneuver, even if Chu Zhongze had any tricks left.
Bu Li was extremely cautious, and at this moment, Chu Zhongze's heart was as dead as ashes, completely powerless to avoid.
A blood flower bloomed, blossoming on the white ice, so beautiful and moving. The ironwood arrow pierced through Chu Zhongze's abdomen, dragging a segment of gray-green intestine that fell not far away.
A word that disturbed Chu Zhongze's mind, Bu Li said no more, and the ironwood arrows in his hand shot out in quick succession, pinning Chu Zhongze to the ground.
With the major threat eliminated, Bu Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the inner chamber of the Heavenly Dao Sect, it was silent. Everyone had misjudged the situation, and no one said anything; only the sound of mirage sand echoed in the loneliness. The eight elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect had different expressions, each harboring their own thoughts. The one who would face the calamity? It must be him. With just becoming a pattern hunter and having weak soul power, he could defeat a second-rank pattern warrior, especially one with an illusion beast. If he wasn't the one to face the calamity, it would be truly ghostly.
Zhang Zhi Lan, with his flowing sleeves, entered from outside and saw this scene. Zhang Xitong in his arms had already been properly taken care of, and Zhang Zhi Lan's face was somewhat unfriendly. When he saw Bu Li's arrow pinning Chu Zhongze to the Divine Legacy Mountains, his body suddenly accelerated, the space in front of him rippling like water, as if it had turned into a door, and Zhang Zhi Lan passed through it. The distance was not far, but anyone with keen eyes could see Zhang Zhi Lan's prowess.
In front of his confidants, Zhang Zhi Lan had no need to show off; he was really in a hurry, very much so.
A soul technique similar to teleportation, and the next moment, he appeared in front of a row of bookshelves in the inner chamber, reaching out to take a jade box, opening it, and taking out a scroll, which he brutally crushed. The scroll, which had been waiting for this moment for many years, was quietly destroyed. When the precious scroll was crushed, everyone looked at Zhang Zhi Lan in shock, not knowing why he did this.
A series of water mist lights appeared around the mirage, and the mirage of the Divine Legacy Mountains twitched twice. Bu Li's shadow twisted and changed, then disappeared.
Zhang Zhi Lan cut off the observation of the mirage that covered the Divine Legacy Mountains. Seeing the mirage darken, Zhang Zhi Lan roared in anger, "You just stood there and watched?! Stupid!!"
The training ground of Wufang City was in chaos, with curses reaching the sky.
The Heavenly Hook Gambling Den, the largest casino in Wufang City, was located next to the large training ground. Every day, people went in excitedly and came out disheveled, and everyone was used to it. But this time was different, a wave of noise seemed to want to lift the thick roof of the casino.
Although the noisy crowd was chaotic, no one dared to really fight here. Passing through the hall, there were private rooms for VIPs, each extremely luxurious.
In the luxurious private room, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. A group of young people, with bloodshot eyes, stared at the mirage on one side, and no one spoke. In the mirage, Chu Zhongze was like a human target, pinned with arrows, his eyes empty and lifeless, staring at the sky.
Countless people, who had placed high hopes on Chu Zhongze, were already numb from losing.
After a few breaths, a young man sighed and cursed, "Damn! These legacy people are all unreliable."
"Brother Wang, do you think it could be that Old Cai and the others are manipulating the game?"
"No." The young man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, thought for a moment and said, "This is the Heavenly Dao Sect's territory; Old Cai's reach isn't that long."
"This is too strange!"
"Regardless, we must make this person pay in the future!" the young man said fiercely.
Just as he said this, the mirage in front of them darkened. The soundproofing of the luxurious private room was excellent, and after the hissing sound disappeared, it did not make the space any quieter; instead, a strange restlessness echoed in everyone's ears.
In the layers of residential buildings on the western side of Wufang City, a huge spire rose up, like a mountain peak standing in Wufang City.
The three ancient large characters "Tian Ji Fu" were written in a flowing, dragon-like style, with ink splashed and the chest fully expressed.
At the top of the spire, one could overlook the entire Wufang City. Standing by the square window, anyone would feel a sense of commanding the world.
A man in gray stood by the square window, hands behind his back, looking at the distant plain. The Canglan River, far from Wufang City, lay like a jade belt, flowing day and night, like the passage of time.
"Sir, the mirage has been cut off by the Heavenly Dao Sect."
"Hmm. I know." The man in gray responded indifferently. Looking at the distant Canglan River, after a long time, he muttered to himself, "Could the Heavenly Dao Sect really be so lucky?"
Countless sects and people with ulterior motives saw the scene of Bu Li killing Chu Zhongze.
The tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop. To ordinary people, Bu Li killing Chu Zhongze was just a small matter, at most a topic for idle chatter. But to those with ulterior motives, it was worth pondering deeply.
The Soul澜 Continent was seething with undercurrents, ancient prophecies, powerful opponents, and the seals about to be broken, with the faintly visible scenes of bloodshed and carnage.
The attention of the five first-rank sects and sixteen second-rank sects was focused on the Divine Legacy Mountains, and the "Legacy Trials" in other regions had been ignored.
No matter what happened outside, the Divine Legacy Mountains still followed the script set for countless years. Bloodshed, slaughter, one after another, young legacy people fell, and those who emerged from the bloodbath led their people into another sea of blood.
Bu Li, leaning on his ox-horn longbow, was extremely exhausted after a fierce battle. Seeing Zhan Xiong Wan Liqun and Wen Ci Yu Wang standing there like wooden chickens, Bu Li said, "Let's rest. Don't go to the Dragon-Breaking Platform."
Zhan Xiong Wan Liqun and Wen Ci Yu Wang, hearing this, couldn't believe their ears, looking at Bu Li as if he were a monster.
With only three people left, there was enough reason for all three to climb the Dragon-Breaking Platform. Why would Bu Li make such a seemingly foolish decision?
Was it the distance that made him hear wrong? Zhan Xiong Wan Liqun was about to shout, but was stopped by Yu Wang's gaze.
After saying this, Bu Li put on his ox-horn longbow, turned, waved his hand in farewell, and returned to the deep forest.
"Skinny, did you hear clearly? I heard that person telling us not to climb the Dragon-Breaking Platform," Zhan Xiong Wan Liqun asked, confused.
"That's what he said," Yu Wang said, looking at the swaying tree shadows in the mountain forest.
"What should we do?" Zhan Xiong Wan Liqun was still somewhat unwilling, his muscle-filled head stubbornly set on something, unable to change his mind quickly.
"What should we do? Rest. Bu Li saved us twice; he must have his reasons. We can't climb the Dragon-Breaking Platform, both in terms of emotion and reason. Don't think about it, fatty. Do you still have any herbs to stop the bleeding?"
"A few more. The herbs in the Divine Legacy Mountains are of high quality, at least one rank higher than those on our side. Uh, I wonder if my ear can be reattached," Zhan Xiong Wan Liqun said, looking like he was in pain.
The two bandaged their wounds, and just as they finished, a young man, like a wild elephant, appeared behind them. Clearly, the closer to the Dragon-Breaking Platform, the more dangerous it became. Seeing someone in the distance, the young man activated his pattern power early, a long-haired giant elephant blocking his side, each step causing the ground to tremble.
As he walked, the Dragon-Breaking Platform was already in sight. The young legacy man suppressed his excitement, lowly growling "hehe," as if he himself had become a wild giant elephant. With each step closer, his face flushed deeper, as if he had drunk countless strong drinks, drunk without the drink.
"Li Shaowei, don't go. Come and have a drink with us," Wen Ci Yu Wang said, as if he was familiar with the young man. "Last time, didn't you say you would drink me under the table next time? Here's your chance."
Li Shaowei recognized Yu Wang, looking at him and then at the Dragon-Breaking Platform, not understanding why Yu Wang and Wan Liqun were sitting there like fools, when the Dragon-Breaking Platform was right in front of them.
"What are you two doing?" Li Shaowei asked.
"Nothing much, just resting after getting injured," Wen Ci Yu Wang said, looking more spirited now, his voice weak but audible.
"Why don't you go up?"
"Someone said we can't."
Ridiculous! How many people were willing to risk their lives to climb the Dragon-Breaking Platform, and now, just a few steps away, a light word was enough to make them give up? There was no such logic.
Li Shaowei chuckled, throwing all his confusion aside, and said, "I don't care about you two. I'm going to try. Since we've come this far, not trying would be a waste. I'll come down and drink with you, Old Li."
Wen Ci Yu Wang knew Li Shaowei would say this and didn't say anything more, making a gesture to invite him, then lying on the animal skin, closing his eyes to rest. After self-destructing his pattern beast and experiencing a life-and-death struggle, Yu Wang had no more energy to endure.
Li Shaowei and Wan Liqun were familiar with Yu Wang, and although they didn't know why these two wouldn't go up, they didn't think they would ambush him from behind, and walked boldly toward the Dragon-Breaking Platform.
Even without the necessary left ear, it was worth a try, wasn't it?
