  The faintly icy mist of the Emperor's Bow condensed into shape, Zhou Weiqing held his bow in his left hand, and his arm rose steadily. It was clear that on his left wrist, the rose-red variant stone cat eye gemstone was now surrounded by a dense network of blue lightning, dazzling to behold.

  Under Zhou Weiqing's mental urging, the Stone Cat's Eye quietly changed and slid into the recesses of the Bow Emperor's handhold. In an instant, the originally icy mist-emitting milky white longbow suddenly turned a dazzling blue, even the bowstring was the same. Zhou Weiqing only felt that even his own body around him had a numb and tingling sensation, as bolt after bolt of lightning continuously extended from his left hand towards both sides of the bow.

  "Who's there?" A loud shout came from below, followed by rapid and dense footsteps that were already coming from not far away under the watchtower.

  Zhou Weiqing was now standing tall and looking far, but others could also see him clearly. With the night color, under normal circumstances, it would naturally cover his figure, but at this time he displayed his Interspatial Fusion Technique, and the majestic bow on his back was so dazzling that it would be strange if he wasn't discovered.

  Taking a deep breath, the four major death orifices that had already been opened went crazy, and the heavenly power was fully output. The bowstring of the Tyrant Bow, which was extremely hard, slowly pulled open, with the star wood as the arrow shaft and the titanium alloy as the sharp feathered arrow, which had turned into a dazzling blue color at this moment.

  Zhou Weiqing only felt that during the process of drawing his bow, a powerful suction force seemed to be generated around his body, pulling in the power of lightning from the air, and the violent aura seemed to have the possibility of exploding at any moment.

  The soldiers patrolling below had already rushed over, unfortunately, there were no archers among these patrolmen, they could only quickly climb up to the watchtower.

  The Bow of the Overlord shone like a full moon, its light intermingling with the bright starlight in the sky. From afar, Yu Guo Ice saw Zhou Weiqing standing majestically on the watchtower, his eyes gleaming with an air of profundity. She naturally didn't idle around either, shooting out arrow after arrow, and although the distance was over 500 meters, not a single soldier from the Kresi Empire who dared to climb up the watchtower managed to escape unscathed.

  "Dang, dang, dang..." The sharp sound of the copper gong rang out, and the Kressi military camp also instantly became chaotic. This military camp, which was stationed with tens of thousands of soldiers, was thrown into chaos because of Zhou Weiqing's appearance alone.

  At this moment, a shrill whistle that seemed to snatch people's souls suddenly sounded, and a blue lightning bolt appeared in the sky, which was particularly conspicuous on this dark night. The blue lightning bolt flew straight into the depths of Kresy military camp like a falling meteor.

  Zhou Weiqing didn't even bother to look at the result of his own arrow, and instead had the Overlord Bow fire three more ordinary arrows in quick succession, each shooting towards one of the three directions that the patrol teams were rushing from. Then, with a heavy stomp of his right foot on the watchtower, he flew out diagonally.

  Boom——, the first thunderous sound came from that blue lightning bolt. Although the target was a thousand meters away, the shooting speed of the Tyrant Bow was simply too fast.

  In the midst of that intense rumbling, the massive tent that could be clearly seen from a thousand meters away by Zhou Weiqing suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar. If viewed from high above, it was clear that the tent had exploded in an instant, with a bright blue glow spreading out amidst the rumbling, flames shooting up, and anguished cries rising and falling in succession.

  Immediately following, four consecutive loud explosions rang out, three of which came from the last three arrows shot by the Tyrant Bow. Zhou Weiqing didn't even aim, he just shot in the direction where people were most densely packed. The explosive effect of the Tyrant Bow was already quite overbearing, even without the fusion with the Intent Crystal. The three waves of soldiers from the Western Continent let out miserable cries as they were blown up, and under the effects of the Intent Fusion Technique, at least ten or more people in each direction suffered casualties.

  As for the last loud noise, it was caused by Zhou Weiqing's destruction of the watchtower. The top of the watchtower had been shattered by his heavy right foot, and he himself had borrowed the force of that step to fly out at an angle.

  Shangguan Bing'er was now standing far away, the purple bow in her hand constantly emitting a humming sound from the bowstring. Her consecutive arrow technique had reached its peak, and she almost instantly shot out over thirty arrows, using her own strength to suppress Zhou Weiqing's pursuers.

  "Go." Zhou Weiqing rushed forward, calling out to Shangguan Fei'er, and the two of them turned around and ran, accelerating with all their might without looking back.

  Just then, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the Kressi military camp. One person angrily shouted: "The granary has been burned down! Xiao Ye Ye, quickly organize the fire rescue team, others follow me. We must not let them escape."

  Among the more than ten figures that suddenly appeared, the first one was none other than Bai Jue, the ninth prince of the Kresi Empire. No one would be in a good mood after being startled awake from their sleep, let alone frightened awake. His camp was not far from Zhou Weiqing's previous target, the giant camp. The thunder-like explosion shocked him so much that he not only woke up from his dream but also urinated in his pants. Enraged, Prince Bai Jue's face turned pale, changed into a new pair of pants and rushed out, leading a group of Jewel Masters to chase after them relentlessly.

  "Xiao Pang, what was that skill you just used? How did it make such a big commotion?" Shangguan Bing'er asked curiously as she followed Zhou Weiqing in full retreat. Even from over a thousand yards away, the deafening boom had still startled her.

  Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "My first Attribute Orb has all its attributes fully imprinted. Do you remember that arrow I used to save you last time? That was the Dark Attribute Imprint skill, called Dark Touch, which is a fusion technique that combines with the Dominating Bow. The one I used today is the only attacking skill among all my imprinted skills. It's from a Heaven Beast whose name I couldn't recall, and it was in that last door where there were various variant attribute Heaven Beasts. This skill is called Palm Thunder Explosion, originally a close combat skill, but after fusing it with the Dominating Bow, it became something entirely different. Think about it, this Palm Thunder Explosion has an explosive effect, with additional lightning properties, and when combined with the Dominating Bow's own explosive power, wouldn't the impact be tremendous? Unfortunately, with my current Heavenly Energy, whether I release any attribute fusion technique, I can only manage one hit. Otherwise, if I could use it a few more times, those people would definitely be running for their lives."

  Listening to Zhou Weiqing's words, Shangguan Xue'er was secretly shocked. She knew that if it were now, in a one-on-one situation, Zhou Weiqing shouldn't be her match yet. After all, there was still a huge gap between their Heavenly Beasts' powers, and she had the additional amplification of her twin Life Pearls. However, if his Heavenly Beast's power grew stronger in the future, allowing him to sustain the release of so many attribute skills, it would truly be too terrifying. With the advantage of multiple attributes, he wouldn't need to coordinate with anyone else; he could coordinate with himself.
