475: Chapter 473 Debut... Drawing a Circle on the Ground!

While this arrow was on the bowstring, it was less than a meter long.

But after being shot, it instantly transformed into a giant arrow over ten meters long, as thick as an adult's arm, looking more like an ancient siege arrow.

Especially with the billowing Black Flame wrapped around it, the pupils of the bare-chested youth and Huo Gui, who knew its details well, constricted slightly.

"I'll do it!"

Huo Gui's pupils constricted as he suddenly roared, raising his hand to Slash a crack in front of him.

But in his haste, the opening of this crack was not large; it was narrow and distorted, only about a foot long, just barely allowing that ten-meter-long arrow to enter before disappearing as the crack closed.

A small amount of the Fire of Nirvana landed on his hand, causing Huo Gui's expression to change abruptly, becoming slightly hideous and distorted, while he also discovered he had lost 5 spirituality value.

At the same time, while Chu Xuan stood atop the lamp pole, a pitch-black crack, also only a foot long, appeared not far away.

The thick arrow shot out, its sharp point aimed directly at Chu Xuan.

"Using his own way..." Huo Gui sneered, his hideous and distorted eyes staring fixedly at Chu Xuan, but before he could finish the sentence he was reciting in his heart, that thick arrow pointed at Chu Xuan suddenly turned back.

Its speed did not slow!

"Shatter for me!!!"

The bare-chested youth let out an angry roar, his entire right arm turning crystalline white and emitting a translucent light as he blocked Huo Gui and threw a punch straight forward.

Following a violent booming sound, the bare-chested youth slid back over ten meters along the ground, his right arm dripping with blood as he knelt on one knee.

Chu Xuan's face was cold as he remained standing on the broken lamp pole a thousand meters away.

Without any hesitation, he drew his bow and shot again!

This time he did not charge it; although the arrow was less than a meter long, it was also wrapped in the Fire of Nirvana.

He shot at Huo Gui again!

This time Huo Gui reacted in advance, teleporting in front of the bare-chested youth and waving his hand repeatedly, creating a series of cracks in front of him that constantly closed.

In front of Chu Xuan, a series of cracks also appeared.

One arrow after another wrapped in the Fire of Nirvana shot out from the cracks, their points aimed at Chu Xuan, but in an instant, they turned back and shot toward Huo Gui again.

This repeated, and in just a few short seconds, dozens of Black Flame arrows were constantly traversing back and forth within this thousand-meter range.

Huo Gui's face was slightly pale; clearly, repeatedly tearing open cracks to transfer attacks was not without its costs.

Chu Xuan's eyes were filled with killing intent, which was boiling in his heart.

[heavenly punishment overlord bow: The arrows you fire will condense your killing intent, accurately locking onto the enemy's tracks. The stronger the killing intent, the more accurate the lock; the more kills made, the more ferocious its power.]

"Locked by killing intent, you can't hide!"

The bare-chested youth originally wanted to take the opportunity to rush in, but despite his speed, he had already been hit by several arrows, and his movements slowed slightly.

The intense pain instead caused his eyes to spit fire.

Meanwhile, Chu Xuan constantly shifted his position to maintain distance while continuing to draw his bow and shoot.

"Take me close to kill him!"

The bare-chested youth flashed to Huo Gui's side and suddenly roared. The surrounding space vibrated and distorted, and the speed of the dozens of incoming arrows suddenly slowed significantly.

Huo Gui responded, and the two figures disappeared simultaneously. In just an instant, when they reappeared, they were already above Chu Xuan's head.

"Die!"

The bare-chested youth was beyond furious. From above, his crystalline right hand formed a hook with five claws, its sharp edge fully exposed as he swung it down fiercely, as if he wanted to tear Chu Xuan into pieces.

However, before that punch could hit Chu Xuan,

Chu Xuan's body transformed into a strand of hair that drifted in the air, leaving only a large gold and red bow falling toward the ground.

"Another Clone?!"

Both were equally shocked.

"Slash!!"

Suddenly, a faint voice rang out.

At the same time, about ten meters away from the two, an ordinary-looking man was standing by the roadside. He had followed the crowd fleeing to this point and seemed to be frozen in shock by the battle scene, but now he suddenly raised his hand.

A sharp ringing sound suddenly erupted!

One hundred Slashes wrapped in the Fire of Nirvana shot forward, looking like a giant dragon.

The booming continued, and the air vibrated incessantly!

In an instant, over forty Slashes landed on the bare-chested youth, causing crystals from the right arm he used to protect his face to fly everywhere, and dense wounds appeared across his bare body.

Over ten Slashes also landed on Huo Gui!

"Retreat..." Huo Gui's face was distorted and hideous as he grabbed the bare-chested youth's body and disappeared in an instant.

Boom boom boom boom!!

The remaining half of the Slashes boomed into the sky, continuing for three hundred meters until their power was greatly reduced, but their sharp edges still tore the wall of a high-rise building to shreds.

"Did they escape..."

The ordinary-looking man's face distorted, his figure grew taller, and his bloated body became lean, turning back into Chu Xuan's appearance in an instant.

He scanned his surroundings but did not see any trace of the opponents, yet the vigilance in his heart did not diminish.

This time, he had used his Level 4 Clone skill to its maximum, directly splitting off three Clones while his original body hid in the shadows, all for the sake of baiting them.

When he had arrived on the Roc earlier, it was naturally his original body.

The first Clone was left behind while the Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc unleashed its Thunderous Might, amidst the lightning, thunder, and rising dust; it also left behind the indestructible flowing shadow which had transformed into a long blade.

The original body had teleported away and used [Myriad Forms] to change its appearance, blending into the chaotic crowd.

The second Clone stood not far from Lin Jie, leaving behind the ring [Do Not Move] which still had 7 charges of sealing power.

The third Clone also blended into the crowd and left behind the [heavenly punishment overlord bow].

Three Clones, three items.

Although his Clones were just basic versions and couldn't use skills, they could use items by consuming the original body's spirituality value.

The result was that he indeed caught a big fish. That bare-chested youth named Tong Wei, who followed Huo Gui, had participated in the Seed Project and was very likely White Tiger.

His original body had also taken the opportunity to replenish the Slashes within him for a sneak attack at the final moment.

Among them, 50 Slashes were condensed with 30 spirituality value, and the remaining 50 Slashes were all replenished with 40 spirituality value after [All-Cutting Slash] reached Level 4.

However, in the end, only half of the Slashes hit.

The other half failed to reach them before the opponents escaped.

"Huo Gui..."

Chu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had initially targeted Huo Gui with the [heavenly punishment overlord bow] because he knew the other party had a teleportation skill and that his sequence path was God of the Void.

At the same time, it was highly likely he had already mastered the True Authority of the God of the Void.

However, the other party's difficulty far exceeded Chu Xuan's expectations.

The ability to tear open cracks at will to transfer attacks was manageable; even without the arrows from the heavenly punishment overlord bow to lock onto him, Chu Xuan was confident he could kill him in close-quarters combat.

But the ability to teleport away while taking someone else with him far exceeded Chu Xuan's expectations.

Furthermore, the distance Huo Gui could teleport was clearly not short, far beyond what a typical Level 5 teleportation could compare to.

"They are both Level 11, but the strength of these people is truly worlds apart..."

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered.

He had just hurriedly used the Eye of Insight and found that these people were all only Level 11, but White Tiger's strength exceeded Huo Gui and those four like Zhou Chong by a massive margin.

Although he hadn't managed to keep the opponents here this time, his harvest was quite substantial.

Even though he had just spent 2000 spirituality value to accumulate Slashes, he still had 20150 spirituality value remaining.

Originally, his spirituality value was only around 14000, but after slaying Zhou Chong, Gao Dong, and Chen Xueying, his spirituality value had almost reached its limit.

Because of this, Chu Xuan had the confidence to use his Clones to attract the opponents' attention while his original body secretly accumulated Slashes using 40 spirituality value each.

Those Slashes just now, although they didn't kill Huo Gui and White Tiger, had still harvested a total of 1500 spirituality value.

In addition, for slaying Zhou Chong and the others, Chu Xuan had received a total reward of 600 points to his maximum spirituality value limit.

At this moment, his maximum spirituality value had reached 20600.

"Revelation went to such great lengths... it probably won't end so simply..."

Chu Xuan frowned deeply and collected the [heavenly punishment overlord bow], [indestructible flowing shadow], and [Do Not Move] from the ground, along with a beating red heart from within Zhou Chong's mangled corpse.

He scanned the surroundings again, and a sense of unease rose in his heart for no reason, causing him to subconsciously accumulate the power of Slashes within his body.

[Your spirituality value -40]

[Your spirituality value -40]

[...]

At this moment, the capital was already in total chaos, with Specters everywhere. Some had been hiding in the shadows and emerged during the chaos.

Some were Transcendents who hadn't entered the Great Hall and remained outside; their Charm value far exceeded their other attributes, and they abruptly turned into Specters.

There were also members of the Resurrection Society who lived in symbiosis with Specters.

Although their strength wasn't great, mostly equivalent to C-rank Transcendents with almost no B-ranks in sight, their numbers were indeed substantial. Chu Xuan had already killed some along the way.

Not far away, Zhang Qiang was complaining incessantly while Qin Shaowu constantly fed him medicine.

Minister Liu Fumin sat on the ground with his head bowed, his expression looking somewhat unusual.

Lin Jie clutched his head in immense pain.

The other official Transcendents seemed slightly dazed, but under the command of the City Captains from other cities, they were preparing to split into teams to go to the outskirts of the capital for rescue missions.

Many of them had originally wanted to come and ask for Chu Xuan's opinion, but upon seeing his solemn expression, they didn't come over to disturb him.

"He... Hello, excuse me, are we temporarily safe now..."

An official female reporter, looking fresh and capable with a work ID hanging from her chest, was trembling, yet she still forced herself to remain calm as she held up a microphone and stepped forward.

Not far behind her, a man carrying a video camera followed.

Warning signs immediately flared up in Chu Xuan's heart.

However, through the Eye of Insight, he found that both were just ordinary people with nothing unusual about them.

"Gaga! Those two guys were lucky they ran fast, otherwise Lord Peng would have definitely killed them..." The Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc flew over.

Chu Xuan took a deep look at it, but there was still nothing unusual.

"Where exactly is the problem..."

Chu Xuan's brow furrowed tightly.

And right at that moment, an angry roar suddenly appeared in the area.

"Domain — Prison Lock Dragon!!"

A spatial crack reappeared.

Covered in blood and in a wretched state, Huo Gui and the bare-chested youth returned once more.

Especially that bare-chested youth; he hadn't appeared to be seriously injured before, even though he had been hit by many Slashes, as the wounds weren't deep and most of the damage was true damage from the Fire of Nirvana.

But now, his entire body was covered in bone-deep gashes. His abdomen, in particular, was a bloody mess, and one could even faintly see his writhing internal organs.

Accompanying the return of these two,

a powerful pressure descended from the sky, and within a range of over a thousand meters, the air seemed to be distorted.

The many official Night Watchers who hadn't yet left to deal with the Specters all felt their bodies go weak as they were heavily suppressed, falling prostrate on the ground.

Even those Level 10 City Captains felt their bodies sink, nearly falling to their knees.

The reporter and cameraman in front of Chu Xuan, who had wanted to interview him, hit the ground with a thud.

"Within my Domain, all shall prostrate; those who defy shall die!"

The bare-chested youth stood suspended in the sky, pointing his hand at Chu Xuan below, his words filled with cold killing intent: "Since I became a Transcendent, you are the first person to wound me so deeply! Today, you will surely die!!"

As he spoke, he used his crystalline right hand to fiercely gouge his own chest, tearing out a large amount of flesh and stuffing it into his mouth to begin chewing.

An even stronger pressure descended from the sky.

"The deeper the injury, the stronger the strength...?"

Chu Xuan looked up, narrowed his eyes slightly, and directly gripped the [heavenly punishment overlord bow] in his hand to fire an arrow.

In an instant.

Huo Gui and White Tiger disappeared.

Without a target for the killing intent lock, the arrow shot toward the edge of the sky after a few seconds, eventually losing its power and vanishing.

Immediately following that, Huo Gui and White Tiger reappeared.

The pressure descended once more!

"The same trick won't work anymore!" Huo Gui sneered.

"I have a bad feeling about this. Master, can you handle this? How about we just run..." The Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc hadn't fallen, but it was constantly twisting its body, looking extremely uncomfortable.

"No matter how fast you are, can you outrun Huo Gui's ability to Traverse space?"

Chu Xuan gave it a faint glance, then continued to look up at the sky, his Eye of Insight constantly observing as he continued to accumulate Slashes within his body.

White Tiger's information hadn't fully appeared yet.

However, Huo Gui's skill [Traverse] directly fell into Chu Xuan's sight.

This was the ability to Traverse space, which could be used by consuming any one of three resources: spirituality value, Mental Energy, or health points.

It had no cooldown!

With this kind of ability, he could engage in relentless pursuit if he was winning and flee far away if he was losing; killing him would be incredibly difficult.

The only way was to find a way to achieve a one-hit kill, giving him no time to use the skill.

But with White Tiger protecting him, the difficulty of instantly killing Huo Gui was undoubtedly increased exponentially.

"Or perhaps, I should rank up now..."

Chu Xuan's gaze was dark. Even if he ranked up, if he didn't have a corresponding skill to counter them, he might not be able to keep them here and would only be able to stay on the defensive.

Besides that, there was still Revelation, who was hiding in the shadows and had yet to appear.

"Since the opponent wants close-quarters combat, I'll give him what he wants. I must find an opportunity to kill one of them first..."

Chu Xuan had already accumulated ten Slashes within his body, while White Tiger's Aura above grew stronger and the pressure grew heavier.

"Those who follow me shall prosper, those who oppose me shall perish!" The bare-chested White Tiger, covered in blood, spoke harshly with an increasingly cold gaze:

"Those below who want to live can call upon the Divine Light World, switch world factions, submit to me, and become my Follower to slay Chu Xuan together with me!"

"Otherwise, you shall all die!!"

The pressure became increasingly intense.

At this moment, even the female reporter and the cameraman prostrate on the ground felt their bones creaking and cracking, looking as if they were about to give out.

Even those Level 10 Transcendents could no longer stand; with a thud, they knelt on the ground.

"Sigh..."

Just then, a faint sigh echoed through the area.

From the edge of the sky, a trembling old man came walking through the air amidst the continuous fine rain.

When first seen, he was still far away, but with every step he took, his figure became clearer in everyone's eyes.

He was hunched over with sagging skin, looking senile and decrepit.

His clothes were tattered and covered in blood, and his eyes were cloudy and vacant.

He was staggering and swaying as he walked, looking as if he might fall at any moment, yet he never did.

He raised his hand and lightly pointed his finger, his voice hoarsely rasping four words:

"Drawing... a Prison on the Ground!"

...
