Chapter 1862 (Raw 1874): Dancing in the Wind

Xiao Chen held the God Shadow Bow in his hand as he stood in the crow’s-nest. All the warships that were hundreds of kilometers away appeared very clear to his eyes.

Since obtaining the God Shadow Bow, Xiao Chen had not even brought out ten percent of its might.

Even Xiao Chen himself did not know how great the potential of the God Shadow Bow was.

That earlier arrow was the result of just plucking the bowstring. The bowstring did not even get drawn back, yet the arrow managed to injure a Holy Venerate severely.

After Xiao Chen became a middle-stage Star Venerate, his Soul Energy had increased significantly. That earlier shot had not taken much of his Soul Energy, just about one-fifth.

He felt some anticipation as he infused the remainder of his Soul Energy, wondering how powerful this shot would be.

Xiao Chen also wondered if it could cause the God Shadow Bow to show its second form, the form where it spread out divine wings as it had when he faced the Heavenly Book Scholar.

The fortress ship started moving. Controlled by Jiang He, it flew away from the city swiftly.

With this fortress ship, the two no longer had to fear the pursuit of the warships. They now had the power to clash head-on.

“Damn it! We absolutely cannot let them escape. After them!”

The Jiang Clan’s Purple Thunder Warship led the charge and quickly gave chase.

The sound of war drums shook the sky as electric light spread out and lit up the surroundings. A purple mist shrouded the area.

A formation above the Purple Thunder Warship continuously absorbed the lightning-attributed energy in the surroundings, gathering them into a resplendent ball of electricity. This ball of electricity contained a horrifying amount of energy and possessed a shocking might.

This ball of electricity could be shot out at any moment.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen was on the fortress ship that belonged to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, which gave the Jiang Clan qualms about attacking.

Not knowing how to smooth over the destruction of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s ship, the Jiang Clan hesitated.

It was best not to shoot that ball of electricity until the very last moment. After all, there was still a chance to catch up.

“I choose you.”

The Jiang Clan’s people hesitated, but Xiao Chen did not. As he drew the bowstring, it seemed like godly shadows flickered in the sky.

The moment Xiao Chen let go, that ball of electricity instantly exploded.

The arrow was so fast, it defied comprehension. It looked like Xiao Chen just released the arrow when it struck the huge, horrifying ball of electricity.

The energy contained in the arrow shot from the God Shadow Bow made the ball of electricity explode. In an instant, the Jiang Clan’s warship turned into a resplendent blaze of fireworks. Fiery light endlessly shot out and filled the sky with glorious bursts of light, spreading out in the night scene.

Only a dilapidated frame remained of the Purple Thunder Warship. It shook in the sky, on the verge of collapse. The Jiang Clan cultivators on it had already bailed out.

Joy and sadness came at a moment’s notice. The Jiang Clan, which came with a ferocious momentum, ended up with a completely unexpected result.

“Stop! Stop! Stop!”

“Stop! There is a Soul Tool in his hand!”

The other pursuing warships were frightened into a panic. The Jiang Clan’s warship ended up destroyed. This inconceivable scene stunned them all.

One moment earlier, the Purple Thunder Warship was in its peak state, its war drums pounding thunderously. Why did it explode just like that?

How did the other party break through its defenses? What did he use to make the ball of electricity explode? No one had clearly seen it.

This incited fear in everyone. The most horrifying thing was that the Jiang Clan’s people did not even manage to react.

The several Holy Venerates on the warship actually did not discover how the other party attacked and stop him.

This was destined to be a crazy night, one that the cultivators in Soaring Dragon City would remember for many years.

The Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo plunged Soaring Dragon City into turmoil.

First, the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo tossed down the beauties of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, turning the surroundings chaotic. Even now, that uproar had yet to settle down.

Then, the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo shot an extremely fast arrow that caused the Purple Thunder Warship to explode. It was hard for everyone to recover from their shock.

“Brother Xiao, it’s not good. The Marquis’s Residence’s people are coming over, as well,” Jiang He said somewhat anxiously from the control room.

With such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the city guards not to show up. However, right now, the city guards also had difficulty controlling this situation.

Actually, the city guards had been observing in secret from the start.

The Marquis’s Residence was happy to watch the various major factions of the Soaring Dragon Marquisate surround the Ghostly Shadow Bandit, not minding a fight breaking out.

Slightly weakening the factions in this city—both the clans and the sects—was not a problem for the Marquis’s Residence but a good thing instead.

It could increase the Marquis’s Residence’s control.

The Marquis’s Residence wanted both sides to wear out each other.

However, the situation had spiraled out of control, so the Marquis’s Residence’s people had no choice but to show up and deal with the chaos.

“Abandon ship.”

Xiao Chen looked around and discovered the Marquis’s Residence’s warships approaching from all directions of the city.

He felt somewhat surprised at the Marquis’s Residence’s participation.

The fight between factions like this did not impact the Marquis’s Residence’s interests. Typically, the smart people would choose just to watch.

Xiao Chen and Jiang He decisively abandoned ship.

The two chose to land in the most chaotic place.

The cultivators below seemed to have gone crazy, throwing themselves into tumultuous fights. They all chased after the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s musicians that the Ghostly Shadow Fiend Duo tossed down.

Jiang He felt somewhat rueful and surprised. He had only been avoiding killing those musicians. Unexpectedly, he had kicked up such a commotion.

“Faster! Faster! Faster! Everyone, quickly give chase! Ku Yejian snatched away an extremely beautiful musician. Don’t let him run!”

“There is one there, as well. How come I could not catch one?”

“Everyone, quick, look! That is Headliner Xue! Headliner Xue was also tossed down!”

“Headliner Xue, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you! No one will be able to hurt you!”

“You beasts. Don’t hurt Headliner Xue!”

When Xiao Chen and Jiang He landed, they appeared somewhat embarrassed to be the cause of this furor. They put on large cloaks and left right away.

The two moved quickly. They did not know what would happen to them if they were captured after causing such colossal chaos. Just the thought of that would set one atremble in fear.

Now, the two only wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the city.

“Haha! This is really interesting. How unfortunate that this little monk cannot break the abstinence of lust. Otherwise, I would also toss down one or two beautiful elder sisters.”

A tiny head popped out from the large cloak on Xiao Chen’s body, speaking in a cheerful baby voice.

Jiang He said with a grin, “You are nicknamed the Little Demonic Monk Silver Saber. How come you have not broken the abstinence of lust yet?”

“Stop mentioning that nickname. I’ll flip out if you do!” The little monk’s baby face immediately turned extremely embarrassed, his little face thoroughly red.

“Hahaha! Alright, I’ll stop mentioning it.”

Xiao Chen could not restrain a smile. The nickname Little Demonic Monk Silver Saber was destined to be the little monk’s lifelong pain.

This nickname would defame the little monk for life.

At this moment, Xiao Chen and Jiang He were effortlessly weaving through the chaotic crowd.

It would be challenging to find the two who hid in these muddied waters deliberately.

Speaking of which, when viewed from another perspective, Jiang He’s casual action created these circumstances that allowed them to escape.

One hour later, Xiao Chen and Jiang He had already gotten far away from the chaos.

The two walked on an empty street, which initially should have been extremely bustling. The commotion caused by Xiao Chen and Jiang He had emptied it out long ago.

This street was wide enough for more than ten horse carriages to travel side by side. Now, it looked hushed and empty.

The shadows of Xiao Chen and Jiang He elongated more and more in this empty street under the moonlight.

Frosty winds, cold night, and a bright moon in the sky.

As the two walked on, they did not say a word. After the commotion was over, they returned to reality.

After parting here, the two might next meet each other with weapons drawn.

Perhaps this was the last time the two worked together.

The hearts of the two were somewhat heavy. Fate was merciless, and destiny toyed with men. Who could have imagined that both of them aimed to become the Dragon Emperor?

Both of them shouldered a heavy burden that could not be easily shown to others.

As the wind blew, the fallen leaves at the side of the street danced in the wind.

Xiao Chen’s feet suddenly came to a stop. As he looked at the drifting fallen leaves, he entered deep thought.

Sometimes, it felt like one’s fate was like the drifting fallen leaves.

When the wind blew from somewhere, one would involuntarily dance in the wind.

At this moment, Jiang He also stopped.

The fallen leaves originally rested in the dust. However, they ended up dancing in the wind involuntarily, helpless against the merciless, cold wind.

These two were not sentimental people. Naturally, they did not stop because of the dancing fallen leaves in the wind.

Rows of cultivators dressed in uniform armor appeared at the ends of their vision, blocking the road.

This was a group of warriors that had experienced hundreds of battles and had great discipline.

These warriors radiated a horrifying killing Qi, which was where the wind came from.

Suddenly, the armored men moved. The city guards parted, and a man and woman walked forward.

When the two approached, Xiao Chen and Jiang He suddenly discovered that they were the Heavenly Book Scholar and Lan Luo.
