Urban Martial Saint

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Junliang quickly retreated several steps, hiding behind a few people in succession. However, these people were not fools; seeing him coming, they hurriedly avoided, and no one was willing to stand in front of him. Because it was very clear now that Huangfu Ziyu wanted to kill him, who would be willing to take the bullet for him!

Having hidden in several places, Zhou Junliang could not find a safe spot, which left him no longer as arrogant and complacent as before. Seeing Huangfu Ziyu’s Sun Shooting Bow aimed at him again, he had no choice but to lower his tone: ”Huangfu Ziyu, the matter of the past was my fault to Huangfu. I couldn’t rush to help in time. But given the circumstances back then, you should know very well too, Ning Qianshu was insidious, attacking the Seven Families everywhere, and even the Chen Family suffered greatly in the chaos. We other families were all on edge; no one dared to act rashly at that time!”

At the same time, from a distance, Helian Tiehua transmitted a voice over: ”Niece Huangfu, do not kill Zhou Junliang. He is the Family Head of the Zhou Family. If he dies, your enmity with the Zhou Family will be set, and the Seven Families would be divided, leaving you unable to command them. The Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance is facing such a crisis, and at a critical moment, the Twelve Green Halls is watching covetously. I alone am but a lone tree difficult to support; I must integrate the powers of the Seven Families. If not, when the Twelve Green Halls attacks, the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance simply cannot resist. Niece Huangfu, if you wish to avenge those who died in the Huangfu Household, you must enhance the strength of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance instead of fighting internally here!”

When Huangfu Ziyu came out, she was full of vengeance, wanting to kill everyone who had attacked the Huangfu Household. However, hearing Helian Tiehua’s words, her mood changed somewhat. The last sentence Helian Tiehua said was exactly what she had in mind.

For years, although Huangfu Ziyu always claimed to revive the Huangfu Household, deep down, what she desired most was revenge for her family. During that catastrophe years ago, she was personally involved, witnessing with her own eyes how her loved ones were killed. So, her heart was filled with hatred, wanting to avenge them personally. But as she grew older, she gradually realized how difficult the matter of revenge truly was.

Now, she possessed the Sun Shooting Bow, wielding absolute power, finally seeing the hope for revenge. If she could integrate the power of the Seven Families and coordinate with the power of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, defeating the Twelve Green Halls and avenging the massacre of her family was indeed not too difficult!

Huangfu Ziyu fell into silence, while on the other side, Zhou Junliang, who was targeted by Huangfu Ziyu’s Sun Shooting Bow, was terrified. The Sun Shooting Bow of Huangfu Ziyu remained aimed at him, and in this brief moment, he felt an immense pressure, with his previous arrogance and pride completely worn away. After all, his life now hung on Huangfu Ziyu’s fingers; as long as she released the bowstring, his life would be over, which, needless to say, greatly disturbed him.

Many people are fearless in their anger. But once threatened with death, gradually, their mood changes. The longer life hangs by a thread, the more fear grows in their hearts; it’s the same for everyone.

All the people from the Seven Families held their breath at the scene, not daring to make the slightest sound for fear of drawing Huangfu Ziyu’s wrath and being shot down by her. This moment felt like a century, with everyone feeling the immense pressure; all their moods were gradually changing, transforming from envy and dissatisfaction to awe, from their hearts, of Huangfu Ziyu.

Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed in Huangfu Ziyu’s eyes; she released her fingers, and the bowstring snapped back immediately. A Qi Force, like an arrow of substance, shot out, breaking through the air with a piercing sound. This powerful sound made everyone’s hearts on the scene tremble with it.

Zhou Junliang was almost scared to death; he did not expect that Huangfu Ziyu would still take action in the end. He instinctively wanted to dodge, but before he could move, a powerful Qi Force had already rushed past him. He didn’t know how far this Qi Force actually was from him, yet the gust brought by the Qi Force shattered the sleeve of his arm, and his arm was slashed by the piercing Qi Force, leaving a deep blood mark!

Though the Qi Force didn’t pierce through Zhou Junliang’s body, he still collapsed to the ground. He had deeply felt the power of that Qi Force. If this Qi Force had really been aimed at him, no matter how many of him there were, they would have been pierced by it. Moreover, the speed of the Qi Force was extremely fast, almost immediately reaching him as soon as Huangfu Ziyu released her fingers; even with his skills, there was no time to dodge. So, if Huangfu Ziyu was indeed targeting him, killing him would have been as easy as flipping one’s hand!

The people from the Seven Families saw it clearly; the Qi Force deviated slightly, avoiding Zhou Junliang without hurting him and instead shot towards a group of people about thirty meters behind him. This group was precisely the people from the Wanyan Family.

Prince Wan Yan, seeing Huangfu Ziyu holding the Sun Shooting Bow and witnessing her astonishing strike, knew in his heart that he was no match for her. So, he didn’t dare linger here, let alone think about seizing the Sun Shooting Bow, planning instead to quietly leave with the Wanyan Family while no one was noticing.

Yet, he underestimated Huangfu Ziyu. In fact, ever since coming out, Huangfu Ziyu had been watching him. After all, he was the one who dealt with Ye Qing and the Right Protector in the Cave earlier, where the Right Protector died at his hands. How could Huangfu Ziyu let him go? Seeing him attempting to escape, she shot an arrow directly, the Qi Force soaring through the air, straight towards the Wanyan Family.

The Wanyan Family, about twenty or thirty people, stood quite densely packed. Huangfu Ziyu’s arrow directly pierced through seven people; three died on the spot, while four had tough luck surviving but were seriously injured, collapsing to the ground.

Among these, there were two Supreme Elders; one was severely injured, while the other was pierced through and killed!

This was the second arrow shot by Huangfu Ziyu, and everyone on site was once again astounded. Piercing through four people just now was already shocking enough. And now, an arrow piercing through seven people, the power of the Sun Shooting Bow is truly astounding!

Seeing that Huangfu Ziyu didn’t kill Zhou Junliang, Helian Tiehua finally let out a long sigh of relief. As for Huangfu Ziyu dealing with the Wanyan Family, Helian Tiehua did not stop her. In fact, even if Huangfu Ziyu hadn’t acted, he was prepared to eliminate the Wanyan Family anyway. This group took the opportunity to act amidst the chaos, trying to take advantage and defeat the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, which is truly hateful!

Wanyan Prince was also startled when Huangfu Ziyu killed several people. He didn’t have time to think, didn’t dare to even look back, just shouted loudly, ”Scatter and run, whoever can escape is escape!”

As Prince Wan Yan shouted, Huangfu Ziyu shot another arrow, and this time three more people were pierced by the Qi force. However, this time the Wanyan Family finally reacted and dispersed, making it impossible for Huangfu Ziyu to kill several people with one arrow.

”Trying to run!” Huangfu Ziyu shouted coldly, drawing her bow and aiming at the Wanyan Family members. Several shots later, a few more from the Wanyan Family were left behind.

However, Prince Wan Yan’s idea was indeed quite effective. Once they spread out, Huangfu Ziyu couldn’t kill several people at once, and the speed naturally slowed. After Huangfu Ziyu killed those few people, Prince Wan Yan already led three Supreme Elders behind a pile of large rocks. Huangfu Ziyu couldn’t even see them anymore, let alone kill them!

As Huangfu Ziyu was killing the Wanyan Family members, everyone around was staring in awe. They had only heard of the power of the Sun Shooting Bow but never witnessed it firsthand. This time, they finally saw the might of the Sun Shooting Bow up close, and it was truly astonishing. Now, everyone understood why the Sun Shooting Bow could make an ordinary person become a master comparable to the Five Uniques. The power of the Sun Shooting Bow is not much weaker than the attack of a Peak Master!

”The Sun Shooting Bow is so powerful, wouldn’t it be even more terrifying in the hands of a Peak Master?” a Martial Artist asked in a low voice.

”Not quite,” someone beside him shook his head, saying, ”I’ve heard that while the Sun Shooting Bow is fearsome, its power has a limit and does not increase based on the user’s strength.”

”What do you mean?” someone else asked curiously.

”That is to say, the Sun Shooting Bow in Huangfu Ziyu’s hands can exert this kind of power. Put it in the hands of someone without martial arts, and it can still exert this power...” the person paused, then said in a low voice, ”And put it in the strength of a Peak Master, it can at most exert this power. So, this Sun Shooting Bow doesn’t enhance the power of Peak Masters; it doesn’t provide much benefit to them!”

”Is there such a thing?” Everyone was greatly surprised.

”Nonsense, otherwise why haven’t those Peak Masters come to fight for it themselves and instead let their men fight for it? Because they know, acquiring the Sun Shooting Bow doesn’t give them much benefit, but it can cultivate a Peak Master!”

”Hmph, even though the Sun Shooting Bow is fearsome, it’s just an external tool. Without improving one’s own strength, no matter what you say, it doesn’t matter. Like now, the Wanyan Family has run far away, Huangfu Ziyu’s own strength isn’t enough, she can’t catch up, and isn’t she just left empty-handed?”

”Yeah, if a top-level master encounters her and runs away early, there’s nothing she can do about it. Her Qinggong isn’t enough, so she can’t catch up. With the Sun Shooting Bow, she’s just like this!”

As everyone marveled at the power of the Sun Shooting Bow, they also sighed at its limitations.
