Chapter 838: Taking Action (I)
"Hold on, fellow Daoist."
Li Xuanfeng gave no further reply. The black-clad youth below was extremely alert. He merely glanced once up at them and instantly stirred up devil winds, his robe billowing as he fled in the opposite direction. If he was not struck down in time, he could become a future threat.
Li Xuanfeng drew back his bowstring and a golden arrow settled onto the string. The youth below immediately felt his ears ring, dread flooding his heart as his body trembled with instinctive alarm.
Their eyes had met earlier. Li Xuanfeng’s perception technique had pierced through the black mist on the youth’s face and saw his features clearly. The youth had also seen his features. The moment he saw that bow in Li Xuanfeng’s hand, he prepared to flee, with high alert in his heart.
Now, understanding dawned upon him like a plunge into an icy lake. He shuddered inwardly, That’s the Bianyan’s Immortal Bow, Li Xuanfeng...
This youth was none other than Helian Changguang of Tiefo State, the one who had fought Li Qinghong during the devil plague. Back then, Li Qinghong had slain the female cultivator at his side and obtained a Dharma robe which had later been forged into the Cyan Sparrow Plume. She had once worried over it and specifically mentioned it to Li Xuanfeng.
As Li Xuanfeng loosed an arrow, thoughts raced through Helian Changguang's mind like lightning. He quickly made a judgment in his heart, Seems the small hall I was heading toward has already caught their eyes, this arrow is to block me!
So he immediately leaped away from the hall, not hoping to dodge the ghostlike arrow, but fully presenting a posture of retreat. Devil smoke churned beneath his feet as he stepped back twice. Pain bloomed in his chest, and he coughed up blood.
Though Helian Changguang was Tiefo State royalty, their nation was already weak, and in recent years had suffered a severe decline in talent. Things had gotten so bad that a mere mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator like him had been sent out. Clearly, there was no one else to use.
