Chapter 509 - 509 The Powerful Straw Man
509 The Powerful Straw Man
A runic arrow appeared in his hand. He nocked the arrow on the bow and pulled hard. the battle bow glowed and instantly opened.
At the same time, he infused genuine Qi into the battle arrow.
“Whoosh!”
He pulled the bow and shot the arrow in one go.
With the sound of the battle arrow breaking through the air, it turned into a sharp arrow light and shot out. Almost at the same time, the battle arrow shone with a strange three-coloured light.
This was the effect of Li Xiang’s three halo skills: explosion, splatter, and sacred flame.
The battle arrow arrived in front of the golden straw man instantly.
What was archery?
Archery was the art of killing.
The ultimate goal of the arrow was to kill. What he wanted was to kill the enemy in one strike. For each arrow to kill in one shot, it had to be fast, accurate, and ruthless. At the same time, it had to have a powerful force that could tear them apart.
Strength was the foundation, and archery was the embodiment.
When the arrow was shot, it had to be with an unyielding will.
The most basic archery skills were usually straight and piercing. Still, at a higher level, the archery skills would be integrated into the muscle and bone, and it would be easy to shoot two arrows or even three hands simultaneously. It was amazing.
And now, with the help of the massive power of God’s Annihilating Bow, these runic arrows had appeared in front of him from tens of thousands of meters away.
“Audacious thief! Don’t even think about stealing our food! We will never yield! ”
In the face of this stream of light, the golden straw man reacted quickly. First, the bronze rod in its hand appeared in front of the runic arrows at an unimaginable speed. Then, with a strike, it simply and directly collided with the battle arrow.
“Boom!”
A bronze light burst out from the bronze rod. In a moment of panic, the area within a radius of tens of meters around the golden straw man was shaken by a violent force. The terrifying aftermath seemed to shatter the nearby space. It looked terrifying.
The power contained in the battle arrow was too terrifying. With the power of God’s Annihilating Bow, even an ordinary arrow would be a powerful attack of divine grade. Moreover, the runic arrows were infused with Li Xiang’s genuine Qi as a demigod and had three halo skills. The power of the explosion was unimaginable.
Not to mention an ordinary divine realm expert, even the most elite transcendent powerhouse would be unable to remain unmoved when facing this attack.
If he was not careful, the arrow could pierce through his body.
However, when the golden straw man’s rod struck, the battle arrow had already begun to disintegrate inch by inch when it collided with the rod. It directly shattered into fine powder. All the power in the battle arrow, including the berserk rune power, the power of genuine Qi, the halo skills, and so on, were wholly and forcibly destroyed.
The battle arrow’s power did not shine through at all. On the contrary, the golden straw man’s rod displayed full power.
“F*ck!”
When Li Xiang saw this scene, he almost shouted the shock in his heart.
This scene truly shocked him.
“What a powerful force. It was able to turn runic arrows into dust. The power of this force is almost unimaginable. Furthermore, its speed and accuracy are terrifying. But the most alarming thing was the pure and powerful energy. This straw man seemed made of straw, but why did it feel like it was the same as those powerhouses who cultivated their physical bodies? It specializes in pure strength! And his achievements are so terrifying!”
This was not a divine power or a spell but pure strength. Moreover, this person’s control of power had already reached the level of lifting heavy objects as if they were light and lifting light objects as if they were harmless. A strike that seemed light was as severe as 10000 weights. On the contrary, the attack that appeared as powerful as 10000 weights could be displayed as gentle as a breeze when it landed on the body.
Even more terrifying was that each strike contained a different amount of power. He could make the strike as heavy or light as he wanted, but before it landed on his body, one could not see through it.
This kind of strange and unpredictable change was countless times more terrifying than being fierce or gentle.
Li Xiang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was grave.
These straw men were a very different kind of life form. Their entire bodies were made of straws, and they did not even have the internal organs and blood that normal living creatures should have. So it was impossible to know if they could open up the sea of consciousness, let alone how they had cultivated their strengths.
To be able to cultivate a body-tempering technique to such a terrifying degree and even kill a divine-grade demigod powerhouse, or even more vital, this had broken through his understanding of the cultivation system.
If all the straw men had such a body-tempering transcendent, their strengths would be unfathomable.
They were not ordinary people. They were the forces of nature.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it no matter what. Some ordinary-looking straw men could be comparable to a body-tempering transcendent. This was simply a fantasy.
“Thief!”
The golden straw man looked at Li Xiang, standing on the back of the Phoenix Qing Ying. Its golden eyes flashed with anger as it roared.
“Thief! Get out!”
Below them, the straw men waved their bamboo sticks and roared in unison. They were extraordinarily fanatical and seemed willing to give up everything to protect the paddy fields.
“In that case, let’s try again!”
Li Xiang’s eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion. He did not falter. Once again, he drew God’s Annihilating Bow, and a runic arrow appeared on the bowstring.
Accompanied by the sound of a bowstring, an arrow breaking through the air was heard again. Finally, a sword light shot through the sky like a meteor.
However, this time, the arrow’s target was not the golden straw man but an ordinary-looking one nearby.
The distance between the ordinary straw man and the golden straw man was far. So even if the golden straw man wanted to stop it, it could not stop the battle arrow in time.
Whoosh!
The battle arrow was too fast, not giving anyone a chance to react. It arrived in an instant and hit the straw man’s chest.
A layer of divine light appeared around the straw man. The straws seemed to have turned into the toughest grass and rattan armour in an instant, trying to block the battle arrows.
“Boom!”
However, the battle arrow exploded. Although the layer of divine light on the straw man’s body blocked most of the power of the explosion, it was useless.
The powerful force of the battle arrow attacked, and all his defences were in vain. It pierced through his body and tore a massive hole in his chest. There were even red flames. Then, the violent power of the fire started to spread throughout the straw man’s body, destroying it wantonly.
“Crash…”
One of the straw men quickly lifted a bucket of water and splashed it at the injured straw man, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
The speed of the water splashing was breakneck. Before the fire could continue spreading, the water had already fallen.
