Chapter 67

When they were still over twenty zhang away from the Dragon-Breaking Platform, the elder of the Henshan Sect on the platform saw that someone was finally about to climb up, and his spirits were immediately lifted. This night had been strange and unsettling, and it was finally coming to an end.

At this moment, Li Shaowei suddenly felt a sharp killing intent pierce through his body, and a fierce whistling sound rose from the ground, heading straight for him.

Li Shaowei was not a weakling; if he had relied solely on luck, he would not have made it to the Dragon-Breaking Platform. However, his strength lay in power, not agility. The arrow came so suddenly that Li Shaowei had just heard the wind when the dark arrow was already nailed in front of his feet.

As if to show off, the black arrow's tail feathers were gently moving.

Li Shaowei hesitated for a moment, turning his head to look in the direction the arrow had come from, his eyes filled with confusion. It was not just the speed of the arrow that troubled him, but the fact that the archer seemed to know he could not react, and had shot the arrow to within three inches of his body.

Could this be the reason why Wan Liqun and Yu Wang had stopped? Li Shaowei assessed the situation and realized that if he took another step forward, the next arrow would likely not hit the ground in front of him.

Could he dodge it? Even if he sacrificed the engraved beast to block it, he seemed powerless. If the person in the forest wanted to kill him, a single cold arrow would be enough. The person did not want to kill him; if he could not see that, he would truly deserve to die.

After a brief calculation, Li Shaowei reluctantly put away the engraved beast and took out two gourds from his chest, throwing one to Yu Wang and the other to War Bear Wan Liqun, and said in a hoarse voice, "Drink up!"

After speaking, he took out his own wine gourd from his waist and took a large gulp, as if the arrow had never existed.

"That's right. If we could go up, wouldn't we have done it already?" Yu Wang took a big gulp of wine, holding it in for a while. The hot wine burned his stomach like a fire. After a long time, he exhaled a breath of alcohol and said.

"I just can't accept it." Li Shaowei looked at Yu Wang and Wan Liqun, his face twisted. "What about your ears?"

"Don't mention it. We ran into Chu Zhongze." Wan Liqun said helplessly.

A brief narrative, life and death in a flash, indescribable in words. Li Shaowei listened with a sense of awe, using the story to accompany his drinking. Each time he felt a surge of emotion, he took a sip of wine. The words that came out of Wan Liqun's somewhat clumsy mouth were like dried meat that had been hanging for years, flavorful and suitable for drinking.

The brotherhood forged in blood was spicier and more flavorful than aged wine.

"Chu Zhongze is dead? What does that man, Bu Li, think?" After listening, Li Shaowei was puzzled and asked.

"I don't know. Since he has his own plans, and we owe him a favor, we naturally won't go up." After a few sips of strong wine, Yu Wang's spirits seemed much better, and he said calmly. For these men, there was no need to speak with grandeur or enthusiasm.

As they were speaking, the elder of the Henshan Sect on the platform looked far into the direction where Bu Li had hidden and said, "You have come to the Dragon-Breaking Platform, why don't you climb up?"

Bu Li had seen too much bloodshed and killing on his way here. His mindset was completely different from when he first entered the Divine Legacy Mountains. If he had come here because of his trust in Hu Wu or some hope of joining the Henshan Sect, now Bu Li was filled with hatred for these sects and the coldness of the Soul澜 Continent. The stubbornness in his heart was also ignited, and he did not want to take another step back.

Arena? Screw that!

Bu Li completely ignored the elder of the Henshan Sect, turned his body, and moved quickly through the forest like an ape.

At this moment, the entire Divine Legacy Mountains seemed to "move," and the starry sky twisted. Bu Li felt a sense of relief, and the feeling of being watched that had been with him since entering the Divine Legacy Mountains finally disappeared.

The elder of the Henshan Sect, who had been sitting on the Dragon-Breaking Platform, suddenly stood up and looked up at the sky, not knowing what had happened. How could the soul power array that had covered the Divine Legacy Mountains for countless years suddenly show signs of change? What was going on?

Could it be because of this boy? The elder of the Henshan Sect, seeing the sudden change, did not want to delay any longer. Even if he failed to handle the situation, it was better than being inactive.

Could it be that Sect Master Luo was very dissatisfied with Chu Zhongze's death? The elder of the Henshan Sect looked at Bu Li's figure in the forest with intense hatred. The "Great Trial of the Legacy Clans" had been going smoothly, but the sudden change must be because of this boy.

His eyes followed Bu Li's figure, and he thought, how could his guess be wrong?

The elder of the Henshan Sect sneered. He had seen Bu Li kill Chu Zhongze but not cut off his ear, and he was not interested in the string of left ears on Chu Zhongze's waist. He had already guessed Bu Li's intentions to cause trouble. He raised his hands, his lips moving as if reciting a difficult and obscure incantation.

With the array changing, if he did nothing, he could not even imagine the consequences of returning.

A curtain of sky suddenly appeared in the air, and a beam of light descended. Bu Li felt his figure locked, and his movements became more urgent. But as the light beam descended, it was as if he was bound by a rope, pulled out of the forest, and thrown onto the grass about ten zhang in front of the Dragon-Breaking Platform.

The light beam then transformed into a cage, trapping Bu Li tightly. Bu Li was thrown to the ground with a muffled groan, barely managing to turn his body to the side, so his bull-horn longbow was not damaged. Covered in grass, the animal skin clothing sewn by Cai Xiaoxian was disheveled, but Bu Li was not in a sorry state. He looked at the elder of the Henshan Sect like a trapped wild beast, seeking his own opportunity.

"You are just a member of the Western Mountain Legacy Clan, yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of this elder." The elder of the Henshan Sect stood arrogantly in front of the Dragon-Breaking Platform, pointing at Bu Li and said, "Daring to cause trouble in the Great Trial of the Legacy Clans, today I will cut you into a thousand pieces to set an example."

Bu Li stared at the elder of the Henshan Sect like a hungry wolf in the forest, feeling some regret after being trapped. He had underestimated these sects that had ruled the Soul澜 Continent for so long. He thought he had been careful enough and stayed far enough away, but he did not expect to be trapped even before the array was activated.

The regret flashed through his mind, but since he had come this far, regret was a useless emotion. Bu Li knelt on one knee, head held high, looking at the elder of the Henshan Sect, gathering his soul power. Even if he could not escape, he would bite back fiercely.

Since he knew that Cai Xiaoxian had been favored by a young master of a sect on the Soul澜 Continent, Bu Li knew that this day would come, but he did not expect it to come so soon.

Seeing Bu Li stare at him with a fierce look, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him, the elder of the Henshan Sect's face was filled with anger. His dark blue robe billowed, and his right hand flicked.

A sharp "whoosh" sound, and a light beam trailing a long, light blue shadow shot towards Bu Li.

Just as Bu Li was about to dodge, the light beams around him began to move, binding him tightly like a rope. He could not move at all. He watched helplessly as the light beam hit his left shoulder, and a blood hole appeared, blood gushing out.

He could not even dodge, and Bu Li felt helpless. The enemy was too powerful, and his struggle seemed futile. Was he going to die helplessly? That was not Bu Li's nature. He activated the self-healing ability that had troubled him for ten years, tightening and reducing the wound.

The blood stopped, and the surrounding flesh seemed to come alive, moving slightly, and began to visibly grow and heal.

Seeing this change in Bu Li, the elder of the Henshan Sect was surprised and exclaimed, "Hmm." How could this kind of bloodline power appear in a member of the Legacy Clans? Could this be the power of the bloodline of the demon race?

However, no matter what, it was just a last-ditch effort. The elder of the Henshan Sect then looked at Bu Li with disdain, adopting a playful attitude like a cat toying with a mouse, and asked, "You are an interesting young man. Considering your ignorance, if you admit your mistake and cut off one of your arms, I will let you live. What do you think?"

Bu Li still looked at the elder of the Henshan Sect like a wounded hungry wolf, the bowstring on his back humming as if calling for Bu Li to draw the bow and drink the enemy's blood.

He could not do it. Bu Li's muscles were tightly tensed, and no matter how much strength he used, he could not break free from the invisible ropes. The more force he used, the tighter the binding became.

"Oh?" The elder of the Henshan Sect laughed, adopting the demeanor of a transcendent being, and said from a high position, "You actually refuse? In my eyes, you are just an ant. You, a mongrel of the Western Mountain Legacy Clans, are born with dirty blood. Giving you a chance to wash away your sins with your dirty blood, and you still refuse. Your sins are too deep to gain glory, power, or a new life."

After speaking, another light beam trailing a light blue shadow shot towards Bu Li. This time, the elder of the Henshan Sect had no intention of playing games and shot a soul technique directly at Bu Li's head!
