From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 446 An Arrow Falls to the Sky

"what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Kuo was suddenly stunned; he could no longer understand what the Venerable One was saying.

He had nearly 10,000 men under his command. Even if there were 10,000 pigs, they couldn't be killed in such a short time, let alone 10,000 people.

"Humph."

"It was the deity behind Yuanling County who made the move. But this deity is really powerful. Although it is only a seventh-rank deity, it was able to kill so many people in such a short time. Its methods are not simple."

"However, by doing this, he is only heading towards his death."

"But he gave his life in exchange for the lives of ten thousand of my men. Damn it, this deal is a complete disaster."

The crimson light kept leaping.

If this army of ten thousand men can be used well, it will snowball and grow bigger and bigger, enough to threaten several states.

Even those third- or fourth-rank deities dared not act rashly.

But now, sacrificing just one seventh-rank deity has caused all his plans to fall apart. He even wonders if this is a strategy used by the divine path to make a lizard lose its tail.

Peng Kuo listened to the blood-red light talking to itself, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise. His mind was still immersed in what the other party had just said, and a violent panic suddenly rose in his heart.

If all his men are dead, what value does he have?
Surely the Venerable One wouldn't just get rid of himself so easily.

"Do not worry."

“I have put a lot of effort into you. If I were going to abandon you, why would I have saved you?”

The flame seemed to read Peng Kuo's thoughts, and with a cold laugh, it spoke.

In the past, he would naturally look down on someone like Peng Kuo.

But more than a year ago, he was just cultivating at the bottom of the Cangyuan River, hoping to slowly recover his strength.

But there was this scoundrel who, through some unknown means, killed several True Immortals from the Taiyi Heavenly Palace in the Cangyuan River, inexplicably getting himself caught up in the mess.

He barely escaped with his life by sacrificing a priceless treasure from his past life.

After all, his strength had not recovered in this life, and he was almost powerless to fight back against the power of the Taiyi Heavenly Palace.

It was precisely because of this that his cultivation after reincarnation almost completely dissipated, forcing him to parasitize Peng Kuo's body. During years of famine, he guided Peng Kuo to kill in all directions, thus obtaining some blood energy to replenish his original essence.

Otherwise, he would become even weaker, or even perish.

"You Ming, that monster... and Taiyi Heavenly Palace, I'm not finished with you guys!"

The blood-red light began to take shape, vaguely resembling a pangolin.

His heart was filled with resentment, especially towards You Ming. The reason he encountered so many messy problems after his reincarnation was all because of this bastard.

Peng Kuo listened to the Venerable One's incessant cursing. Although he couldn't understand it, he dared not speak, fearing he might incur bad luck.

"Let's go to Yunzhou first, and find a place to hide in Juye Marsh."

"Now the world's fortunes are showing signs of decline after reaching their peak, and we will have our chance."

Although Xue Guang kept cursing, it did not stop flying forward. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, it had flown hundreds of miles away.

Peng Kuo nodded, about to express his loyalty to the Venerable One, when suddenly, the blood-red light that had been surrounding him let out a hissing roar. Then he felt his body loosen and he fell straight to the ground.

The blood-red light, seemingly in a state of utter panic, sped away into the distance at ten times the normal speed.

"what……"

Previously, the blood-red light enveloped Peng Kuo as he flew hundreds of feet in the air. Now, Peng Kuo was falling from the height, screaming incessantly. But the next moment, a magnificent dark red radiance directly engulfed his body. Before he could even react, his body was vaporized, and then a wisp of spiritual light was imprisoned.

At the same time, the dark red light continued its upward trajectory, heading straight towards the location of the blood-red light.

If someone were to stand high in the sky and look down, they would see that the overwhelming dark red light was actually arrow-shaped, with a width of tens of feet horizontally and a trailing ray of light that stretched for tens of thousands of feet.

The arrow flew much faster than the blood-red light, catching up with it in the blink of an eye.

"You...You Ming!"

"Damn it, that You Ming found me."

"How did he know where I was?!"

Amidst the blood-red light, roars echoed continuously, yet it still exerted all its remaining strength, frantically fleeing forward.

It wasn't that the blood-red light discovered You Ming's whereabouts, but rather that it recognized the [Ten Thousand Miles Seven Killings Hanging Arrow].

Back then, in the treasury of his predecessor, the River God, You Ming somehow stole the Seven Kill Star Power that should have belonged to him, and with it, he comprehended a super long-range divine power that could be used to kill enemies thousands of miles away.

He had personally witnessed You Ming use this supernatural power, so he still remembered it vividly.

"No!"

However, he didn't have time to think too much at that moment.

The speed of the Seven Killings Arrow was too fast, and the huge gap between the two sides could not be changed by individual will.

Three breaths later, an overwhelming dark red light engulfed it.

"I can not be reconciled!"

Amidst the blood-red light, a pangolin was vaguely visible. In the instant it was swallowed by the arrow, his mind felt as if it had been torn apart by a thousand knives, and at the same time, a strong sense of fear arose in his heart.

The fear was so intense that the pangolin felt as if the entire world had turned into a gaping maw, ready to swallow him whole.

His mind was constantly collapsing, and he even developed self-destructive tendencies.

"Om."

Just when he was in utter despair, wisps of smoke, seemingly real yet illusory, suddenly filled the surrounding void, as if the dream was constantly expanding.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a handsome young scholar dressed in white emerged.

He held a folding fan in his hand and waved it gently in front of him.

The next moment, the pangolin's body seemed to become ethereal, and the Seven Killing Star Power and fear that were originally terrifying to him were reduced by 90%.

Although the remaining power was still terrifying, he could no longer withstand it.

Kan Kun.

"You're really getting more and more backward as you get older."

The young scholar chuckled softly, and a light cloud of dust rose around him, continuously adhering to the pangolin's body.

The pangolin's almost destroyed illusory figure was now becoming more and more solid.

"Liu Wangshu, remove your filthy power from me."

Faced with the increasingly solidifying body, the pangolin was not happy; instead, its expression became even more gloomy.
