The Northern Realm army has made its move!
At once, the cultivators hiding behind, hoping to pick up any advantage or wishing to witness the misfortune of Lin Hao and his group, one by one, were overjoyed.
Only the Northern Realm army could unleash so many standard arrows.
Under such a downpour of arrows, even a Great Emperor would have enough trouble to handle.
Many watched in secrecy as they suddenly realized that they didn't know when the Northern Realm army had completely surrounded them and set up crossbows on the surrounding hilltops.
These crossbows, powerful creations of Artifact Refiners inscribed with Array Patterns, were capable of unleashing tremendous force.
"Oh no, we're actually surrounded!"
Counting his three lifetimes, his face twisted with unease as he suddenly pulled an oddly-shaped umbrella out of his storage ring and posted it overhead to block the incoming arrows.
Lin Hao, however, remained calm and collected, turning his head to look at Nine Profound Heavenly Elder and Sunset Three Laughs: "Need help?"
"No."
Sunset Three Laughs responded concisely, reaching out to grasp the blade in his hand.
"No need, this little setup won't stump me." Nine Profound Heavenly Elder smiled lightly, devastatingly beautiful, her white dress and long sleeves flowing as she began to dance gracefully.
These individuals were all Supreme Emperors; such exalted beings had their own dignity, not expecting to rely on Lin Hao to shield them from the arrows falling from the sky.
Lin Hao's question was just a formality; he was indifferent. Without their request for assistance, he simply placed the Divine Cauldron over his head.
The next moment, arrows fell like rain.
Only the sound of patter on the cauldron rang out, the arrows striking it were akin to raindrops, utterly lacking in force.
Counting his three lifetimes, the umbrella proved mightily effective too, allowing him to comfortably sit down, taking out a piece of previously hidden roasted meat to eat, thoroughly unconcerned with the arrows.
While Lin Hao and Counting his three lifetimes calmly depicted the scene, Sunset Three Laughs and Nine Profound Heavenly Elder put forth more effort.
Sunset Three Laughs swung his great sword, creating a whirling Sword Energy barrier around him, grinding all falling arrows into dust.
Nine Profound Heavenly Elder, on the other hand, was even more graceful.
She danced on the spot, a sight of exquisite beauty, like a butterfly in flight or a resplendent flower, as if ascending to the heavens, her white dress and long sleeves following her movements and completely shielding her from the falling arrows.
"Beautiful, so beautiful."
Lin Hao, with the Divine Cauldron over his head, couldn't help but sit cross-legged, watching Nine Profound Heavenly Elder dance.
Her splendorous dance moves evoked admiration from Lin Hao.
Indeed, it was exceedingly beautiful.
The eighteen-year-old radiance of Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's visage, her curvaceous figure, and her dance, all accentuated the gentle beauty of a woman, each gesture and step radiating endless charm.
It left men... no, all male cultivators gaping and gasping in awe.
"Lovely, so lovely."
Lin Hao couldn't help but applaud; he genuinely appreciated Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's dance, feeling that even Earth's finest dancers could rival no more.
Counting his three lifetimes kept his head down, continuously nibbling the roasted meat in his hand, daring not to look up. Yet, he agreed with Lin Hao: "Indeed, indeed, Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's dance is not something you can just see anytime."
While the two freely discussed and critiqued her amidst the storm of arrows, Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's fair face flushed with annoyance.
However, when her phoenix eyes met Lin Hao's appreciative gaze,
Nine Profound Heavenly Elder was taken aback, her irritation subsiding as she realized Lin Hao genuinely admired her dance and wasn't mocking her…
"What kind of person is this…"
In a crisis, surrounded by a massive army, yet he could indulge in admiration of her dance... And to add, was this even a dance? This was clearly a movement technique she, Nine Profound Heavenly Elder, had invented herself, defensive and offensive, effective and beautiful!
At that moment, arrows fell like locusts, unceasingly.
Above the heads of Lin Hao and Counting his three lifetimes, arrows constantly collided against the Divine Cauldron and the giant umbrella, making a rhythmic clattering.
It was almost like a musical piece, while Sunset Three Laughs and Nine Profound Heavenly Elder seemed to be duetting — one wielding a sword, the other truly dancing, each with their own style.
"Clap clap clap."
Lin Hao couldn't help but applaud, admiring the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder endlessly, even causing her millennia-young face to blush uncontrollably.
And at the same time, atop the summit.
Qianye Zhenfeng's face was cold, his expression stern.
"Trash, did you think such arrows could not injure you, that they wouldn't breach your defenses?"
He let out a cold huff, flipped his right hand and with a flash of light, a Dragon Sinew Giant Bow appeared in his hand.
The bow, adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings and dragon sinews for its string, was a full three meters long, taller and larger than Qianye Zhenfeng himself.
Qianye Zhenfeng set the giant bow on the ground, his Primordial Power circulated, and a strong aura burst forth from his entire being.
"Eh?"
While admiring the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's dance, Lin Hao frowned slightly, feeling Qianye Zhenfeng's formidable momentum.
However, he remained still, continuing to watch the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder's dance.
Around him and Suan Sansheng, a thick layer of arrows had already accumulated.
"Draw to full span!!"
Atop the mountain, Qianye Zhenfeng let out a long howl, standing up to draw the bow to its limit, and an arrow composed of Primordial Qi energy materialized on the bowstring.
"Hit!"
A flash of killing intent in Qianye Zhenfeng's eyes, and he shot an arrow straight at Lin Hao.
"Whoosh!!"
The sharp sound of the Sky-breaking pierces through the air instantaneously!
With a flash, the arrow tore through the sky, covering thousands of meters in the blink of an eye and approaching Lin Hao's position!
So strong!
Such powerful force, even before the arrow arrived, the force of its energy was already felt!
The standard bow arrows scattered on the ground, stirred by the aura of the Primordial Qi Arrow, flew up in a blink of an eye.
Above the mountain forest, wherever the Primordial Qi Arrow flew, it seemed as though it could tear apart the very space!
Too powerful, the Cultivators watching from afar were all dumbfounded, some trembling uncontrollably, legs shaking, and some even frightened to the ground by the powerful aura of the arrow.
"Damn! Bullying me?"
A cold light flashed in Lin Hao's eyes as he suddenly stood up.
Beside him, Suan Sansheng had already changed his complexion, standing up to dodge away, keeping a distance from Lin Hao for fear of being implicated.
Sunset Three Laughs and the Nine Profound Heavenly Elder were retreating continuously, and in the blink of an eye under the Primordial Qi Arrow, only Lin Hao was left standing alone.
In the time it takes to speak, faster than a moment's notice, the crowd had just scattered.
"Boom!"
A dazzling light had already struck where Lin Hao was.
The powerful Primordial Qi Arrow first collided with the Divine Cauldron and then violently exploded.
Within a hundred or so meters, trees and stones were blasted into the sky!
The golden light from the Primordial Power explosion completely enveloped Lin Hao.
"Spurt!"
Suan Sansheng, who was closest to Lin Hao and unable to dodge in time, was actually shaken by the powerful force, spitting out a mouthful of old blood, with a face of shocked disbelief, staring towards the distant mountaintop from where the arrow was shot, and could not help but exclaim:
"So strong! This... is definitely a Divine Artifact!!"
