Chapter Seventy-Three: Mysterious Magic Bow

  Hua Yun and Patolic walked along the trail for a while, but the originally clear and tidy trail suddenly became chaotic and messy. The original single trail also split into multiple trails at this moment.

  "Split up and search!" Hua Yun and Patroick exchanged a glance, each choosing a trail to follow.

  At first, Huayun and Patroick were puzzled that the other party had such a strong attack but still escaped. After studying the previous traces, Huayun and Patroick could confirm that the other party's escape was quite embarrassing, that is to say, the attack previously released by the other party was likely created through a special technique, but the user himself may not have had much strength.

  The brain's nerves were taut, perceiving a slight movement forward, and just as Huayun was carefully observing the surroundings, a faint breaking sound suddenly came from the front.

  Hua Yun's eyes moved quickly, and just as she was about to use the long sword in her hand to fight hard, she found that the object that made the breaking sound was not as fast as the previous black light. With a sidestep, the object "dang" into the trunk of a tree behind Hua Yun, but it was a dagger with a cold glow.

  "Explode!"

  Without looking at the enemy, a loud shout burst out of Hua Yun's mouth. The power of his attributes quickly poured into the long sword in his hand. A semicircular glow suddenly emerged from the long sword and struck the thicket where the sound of breaking air had come from earlier. Wherever it went, the thicket was cut off neatly like a sharp sword, and branches snapped open one after another.

  As he wielded the air blade with his hands, he darted into the bush, only to see a figure clad in black leather armor already struck by Huayun's previous blow, the chest pierced. The man writhed in agony on the ground for two moments before falling still.

  Hua Yun stepped forward, and saw that the black figure's hand was tightly grasping a huge, curved moon-shaped magic bow with an eerie black glow flowing continuously on it.

  A hand pulled the magic bow down from that person's hand, and saw that the magic bow emitted a strange aura all over its body. The uniquely shaped bow was engraved with countless strange magical symbols. For Hua Yun, who was extremely sensitive to energy, she immediately felt a very terrifying aura from the magic bow.

  Hua Yun's mind stirred, his right hand lightly touched the bowstring, and with a burst of strength, he drew it open. A strange magical power suddenly flowed along the bowstring into Hua Yun's body, and the attribute energy accumulated in his body was like a bursting dam at this moment. Quickly flowing along his arm into the bowstring, a dark light suddenly transformed into a dark arrow appearing on the bowstring.

  With a soft whoosh, Huayun's right hand lost its grip, and the black arrow emitted a sharp, piercing sound as it shot into the sky, disappearing in an instant. A wave of dizziness washed over Huayun's head, and he suddenly felt a surge of weakness spread through his body.

  This magical bow was unintentionally obtained by Mo Qi, the second captain of the Storm Bandits. Originally a seventh-grade white gold archer, he discovered that this strange magical bow could not be paired with any arrows, but instead required the user to infuse a large amount of magic or aura into the bow. The bow would then automatically form a black arrow on the bowstring.

  Once the bow and arrow are shot, they have great power, even Cain, an eighth-level Grand Warrior, cannot withstand it. However, this magic bow also has a fatal flaw: every time an arrow is formed, it consumes a lot of Dou Qi or magic power. Moqi, the second captain of the Storm Bandit Gang and a seventh-level White Gold Archer, only has enough Dou Qi in his body to form three magic arrows with this magic bow.

  After intense practice, Mochi can now shoot all three magic arrows at the same time. However, after shooting the three magic arrows, he will also be exhausted due to the depletion of his internal Qi, causing him to lose all combat effectiveness and needing at least an hour to recover a bit of strength.

  Previously lying in ambush, he immediately set the target of three arrows at Huayun, who looked like the leader, and Patroick and Pasley, who were not weaker than Cain, after receiving Cain's signal. What he didn't expect was that his magic arrow, which could kill an eighth-level great warrior, didn't even kill one of the three people.

  He lost his fighting strength and hastily fled into the depths of the forest, setting up some simple decoys along the way. Finally, when he was really powerless, he hid in a thicket to accumulate his last blow for the pursuers.

  The dagger he had shot at Huayun earlier had exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, so when Huayun's attack came, he didn't even have the energy to dodge and died under Huayun's attack.

  "What's going on, Lord Hua Yun?" Patolic heard the commotion from afar and rushed over.

  Hua Yun had already put the magic bow into the Qian Kun ring, and said to Patouli: "The person who ambushed us earlier has been killed by me, let's hurry back!" After that, Hua Yun quickly ran back along the original path.

  Patolic glanced at Mochi's body on the ground and then followed Huayun closely.

  When Hua Yun and Patroclus returned to the valley, the battle in the valley was also nearing its end. The entire Storm Bandit Gang was no match for Cain's strength, with only two six-stage Golden Warriors remaining among the thieves. Under the joint efforts of Talya, a seven-stage fire-elemental Grand Magister, and Pasley, an eighth-stage Great Warrior, who had previously fought fiercely against Kalan and his group, Cain was not a match at all. After the battle began, he was seriously injured by Pasley's sword in no time and later died under Talya's magic.

  Cain had no idea that apart from Patolli and Pasuli, there was also a 7th-tier fire-elemental great magician on Huayun's side, and the magic arrow that even Mochi found hard to resist didn't kill a single person.

  Kane's death left the entire Storm Bandit gang powerless in front of Talya and others. Talya's several high-level fire magic spells went out, and the bandit gang immediately lost more than half of its men. With Pasley, Luna, and Karan joining in, this side of the battle ended in just a moment.

  "Is everyone all right?" Huayun rushed back and scanned the crowd with her eyes, finding that no one was missing, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

  "We're all fine, just Baru. Bak was injured earlier and we don't know how he is now!" Talya and Pasley hung their heads in regret, the two of them had almost failed to protect Huayue earlier, if not for Huayue's own strong power that withstood the powerful Wulang, and the Bak brothers' desperate block of Kayne's attack, Huayue would have been in danger earlier. If they let Huayue die here, they wouldn't know how to face Laisent.

  "Adults, Baru and Bak are fine, Baru and Bak are great!" Hearing Talya's words, Baru and Bak immediately replied in unison. These two people didn't know what was going on, but after advancing to 5th rank White Silver Warriors, their resistance to attacks and recovery speed had become even more abnormal. Even if they could be promoted to 6th rank Golden Warriors due to the strange energy within them, with the strength of a 6th rank Golden Warrior, they were able to withstand the attack of an 8th rank Great Warrior, and after being injured, they quickly recovered more than half of their strength. This situation was something that even Rody, who had seen the most in this place, had never heard of before.

  Looking at the silly-looking Ba brothers, Hua Yun didn't say anything and just patted their shoulders hard. "Thanks for saving us earlier, I, Kalan, thank you!" After seeing the Storm Bandits being annihilated by Talya and others in an instant, Kalan and the others were filled with reverence for Hua Yun and the others. Several people came to the front of Hua Yun and the others and bowed slightly to them.

  "Thanks?" Hua Yun said lightly: "No need to thank!" After that, he stepped forward and walked towards the horse carriage that Karan and others had protected before.

  Talia and the others immediately followed closely behind Hua Yun, carefully observing everything around them. After what had happened earlier, they didn't dare to be careless at all now. Kalan and the others didn't know what Hua Yun was going to do, so they exchanged a glance and also followed behind Hua Yun.

  The Nuoqi family warriors surrounding the horse carriage saw Huayun walking towards them and didn't dare to resist, so they obediently made way for a path.

  Bang!

  Arriving in front of the horse carriage, Huayun didn't waste any words and with one sword stroke split open the carriage, revealing the boxes inside. Then without getting permission from Kalan and others, he directly opened the boxes.

  "Divine Seedlings?" Looking at the seedlings in the box, Huayun and others couldn't help but stare for a moment. No wonder Kalan and others had protected these horse carriages so tightly before. These divine seedlings on the horse carriages were extremely valuable, even if they were not of high rank.

  Hua Yun turned his head and gazed at Kalan and the others with a faint look: "Everything in these carriages belongs to us, and on top of that, you have to pay an additional one million gold coins as a weapon fee."

  "What?" After hearing Hua Yun's words, Kalan and the others were stunned for a moment, then they immediately understood and looked at Hua Yun with angry faces. The warriors of the Nuoqi family saw that something was wrong and drew out their weapons, aiming them at Hua Yun and the others.

  Looking at the expressions and movements of the people around him, Hua Yun couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart. As for Kalan's behavior of dragging them down without regard for their well-being earlier, Hua Yun had been holding back a bellyful of anger.
