Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 74: An Arrow to the Enemy

Hanging Longmang Bow on his back, Lin Yi removed his heavy armor and drew his sword. Pointing his sword at Ouyang Jue, the blade shone with a chilling glitter.

A chill ran down Ouyang Jue's spine as his hairs stood on end. Having handled venomous snakes all the time, he felt as if he was being targeted by one right now when the tip of Qingfeng Sword pointed at him.

First, it was an arrow which took him by surprise, now it was a sword pointing at him. This was the killer of Blood Raiment Prince, Deadly Celestial Sword, and his sword art was even more powerful than his archery skills!

Now that his trump card, the Venomous Snakes Formation had been destroyed, he no longer had any intention to fight on and thoughts of retreating arose in his heart.

Cunning devils like him were adept at reading the situation. With his Venomous Snakes Formation, he did not fear anyone, not even second-rate experts. But now, all he had left was his Divine Serpent Staff Art and his lightness art, Thousand Li in an Instant. Was Divine Serpent Staff Art capable of winning Deadly Chain of Three Celestial Swords? He had no idea.

Without waiting for him to think of a solution, Lin Yi leaped forward with great speed and attacked.

Ouyang Jue raised his Serpent Staff and blocked his attack. Hidden within his staff was a tiny venomous snake, his final trump card. Whether it would have any effect, he was not able to tell either.

Dang!

The sword was blocked. For now, it was an even match.

But Ouyang Jue started feeling despair.

Lin Yi's sword was extremely fast, vicious and unpredictable, and every move was capable of taking his life. There were also countless variations contained within his moves. Didn't they say that Deadly Chain of Three Celestial Swords only had three moves? Ouyang Jue cursed in his heart at the rumors he heard regarding this sword art.

This Lin Yi from Huashan had used much more than just three moves, it had already surpassed thirty moves!

Every move possessed the incredible power of Deadly Chain of Three Celestial Swords and was difficult to deal with, forcing Ouyang Jue to expend great effort and energy to evade them.

After dozens of moves, Ouyang Jue was sweating profusely and started feeling dizzy. But up til now, Lin Yi had not even used the same move twice! As the fight went on, the despair in Ouyang Jue's heart grew. This Deadly Chain of Three Celestial Swords was the most powerful sword art he had ever encountered in his entire life. Even though he had met quite a few second-rate experts, none of them possessed such powerful skills.

This sword art was not only capable of striking at the most peculiar spots, it was also capable of striking at ordinary positions in an overbearing fashion, forcing Ouyang Jue to block these attacks head-on instead of dodging.

After barely surviving a hundred moves, Ouyang Jue could only think of retreating. With his current level of skill in Divine Serpent Staff Art, he was not a match for Lin Yi. Even though it was also a superior martial art and had a hidden trump card, there was no chance to use it at all. Lin Yi attacked extremely fast and there were no breaks in between his moves, constantly shifting his position to strike at different spots. It was the first time Ouyang Jue had encountered someone who was so highly experienced at fighting.

Taking a glance at his side, he saw the other four companions of Lin Yi wearing heavy armor and madly slaughtering the snake servants. Despite being third-rate experts, the snake servants were completely unable to fight back as each of these disciples from Five Mountain Sword Sects wielded powerful superior sword arts and were filled with killing intent.

It was not strange for the sword arts from Songshan, Southern Hengshan and Taishan to be filled with killing intent as they were offensive sword arts. But even the defensive sword art of the little nun seemed full of killing intent to Ouyang Jue. Blossoming like numerous flowers in bloom, countless deadly moves seemed to be hidden within. In an instant, the snake servants were killed.

The four disciples cut down the servants like chopping vegetables and their numbers dwindled rapidly, shocking Ouyang Jue greatly. He could no longer hold back anymore and he abruptly activated the hidden mechanism in his staff. A tiny snake resembling a string flew out from the mouth of the staff, heading straight for Lin Yi's face. Then, without bothering to verify the outcome, Ouyang started utilizing his superior lightness art: Thousand Li in an Instant. With a single stride, he was able to cover a distance of dozens of meters.

Having anticipated this move from Ouyang Jue, Lin Yi reacted instantly. With a careful aim, he slashed the tiny snake into half and looked towards Ouyang Jue with cold eyes. Seeing that he was able to travel dozens of meters in a single stride, Lin Yi secretly marveled at the superior lightness art of Mount White Camel Villa.

With Lin Yi's Huashan Movement Art, there was no way he could ever catch up with Ouyang Jue. But he had no worries. With a cold laugh, he once again took out Longmang Bow and placed a violet arrow on it. Those who dared to show their backs to him had never once met with a good ending!

Channeling his internal strength, he pulled the bowstring fully! The violet arrow glistened with a shiny luster and was filled with the power of destruction, resembling a dragon that was poised to strike.

Aiming at Ouyang Jue's back, he finally released his hand.

Shoong!

A high-pitched sound could be heard as the violet arrow pierced through the air, bringing with it great destructive power and heading straight towards Ouyang Jue's back!

Hearing the sound and realizing that an arrow was flying towards himself at great speed, Ouyang Jue's expression changed drastically as he attempted to change his direction.

Boom!

Just as he leaped into the air, the violet arrow hit him with a loud boom, taking him down from midair. Ouyang Jue plummeted to the ground with a crash.

Seeing that the arrow had connected, Lin Yi smiled coldly and leaped towards Ouyang Jue. After several strides, Lin Yi reached his enemy. There was a large hole blasted through Ouyang Jue's chest, and the blood painted his body red. As he looked at Ouyang Jue, Lin Yi was surprised. He was actually still alive?

He was well aware of the sheer amount of power contained in the arrow. Even a genius who was a second-rate expert would find it hard to defend against, and ordinary second-rate experts would not even stand a chance of surviving the shot.

Ouyang Jue's face was terror-stricken and his eyes were fearful. At the sight of Lin Yi, his expression changed into a pleading look. Having his chest penetrated, he no longer had the strength to speak, and he could only convey his thoughts through his eyes.

Begging for his life pathetically, not an ounce of pride as someone from Mount White Camel Villa was left.

Lin Yi shook his head as he drew his sword and aimed it at Ouyang Jue's head.

"Although you are pitiful indeed, and I do pity you, but"

"You must die!"

Ignoring the pleading expression in his eyes, Lin Yi swung his sword and cut off his head.

System notification:

Killed the genius disciple of Mount White Camel Villa, 10,000 battle experience awarded.

Quest reward:

Killing Ouyang Jue of Mount White Camel Villa, shocking the demonic cults, acquiring great fame and boosting the reputation of Deadly Celestial Sword. 30,000 battle experience awarded.

Having earned 40,000 battle experience, Lin Yi sheathed his sword. Although this amount of experience was not much compared to the 400,000 experience required to clear the fourth standard meridian, it was better than nothing. Overall, Lin Yi was still happy about it.

The power of perfection stage Deadly Chain of Three Celestial Swords was starting to show itself. After trying it out in this battle, Lin Yi was very pleased with the results. He was no longer restricted to just three moves, enhancing his fighting ability greatly.

Usually, those who could reach the perfection stage of superior martial arts were first-rate experts. Only these people had the time to delve into their martial arts and make further improvements as they usually would have trouble upgrading their internal arts at this stage.

The other kind of people were the geniuses who possessed an extraordinarily high level of understanding in martial arts. This kind of people could upgrade both their internal arts and martial arts at the same time. Otherwise, very few people could reach the perfection stage of superior martial arts when they were only third-rate experts.

Right now, Lin Yi had surpassed the ability of major sect talents who were third-rate experts. One's ability could no longer be determined by the number of superior martial arts one had learned. Since superior martial arts at perfection stage contained countless variations, it could be considered as having learned countless superior martial arts.

Furthermore, the majority of people were unable to reach the second stage of perfection stage as it was incredibly difficult to comprehend. It was a different matter for Lin Yi as he possessed the rich fighting experience and understanding of martial arts as a peak expert in his previous life.

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, your sword art is so powerful!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi, how do you practice your sword art?"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi's sword art is practically invincible!"

"Senior Brother Lin Yi is probably capable of claiming the top rank among our generation of disciples from Five Mountain Sword Sects!"

After the four of them had killed off most of the snake servants, they rushed to Lin Yi's side. During Lin Yi's battle with Ouyang Jue, they had witnessed the power of Lin Yi's sword art with their own eyes. It was so incredible that they could not help but praise Lin Yi in amazement, not that they were particularly trying to fawn on him. It was because they had never seen anything like it among other fellow disciples. Lin Yi just smiled without responding to their praise.

After taking a look at his surroundings, Lin Yi frowned. "Now that our horses are dead and some of the snake servants have escaped, the news of Ouyang Jue's death at my hands will soon reach the ears of the other demonic cult disciples. When that happens, the large numbers of people chasing us will arrive at this location."

"We need to leave this place at once!"

His four companions nodded with bitter expressions and cursed: "Without horses, we can only walk using our legs. These damn demonic scum from Mount White Camel Villa!"

Lin Yi did not have any solution to this problem either and simply started moving off. The rest of them hurriedly followed behind.

Deep within the desert on top of a sand dune, Ao Wufa looked at the exhausted disciples from the righteous faction who were in a pathetic state. Revealing a cold smile, he glanced at the middle-aged man beside him and said: "Elder Xu, it's time for you to take action."
