Chapter 628: Trampled Underfoot! (4000 words)
The celestial maiden Guanghui is no fool. The arrows from the humans indeed have a problem. Those formations may not seem powerful at first glance, but they curiously managed to immobilize her group of God Refining followers, especially those underworld creatures. It's truly unprecedented.
This power is absolutely unusual, and before figuring it out, she won't foolishly come into contact with such enigmatic forces.
Uncle Liang once again put his full strength into shooting an arrow, but it still just fell halfway down from the sky.
"She's flying too high, we can't hit her!" Uncle Liang said angrily.
Even when Jiang Feng and Jiang Shan tried, despite their greater strength, they still couldn't hit her.
"Where did you get this power?" The celestial maiden Guanghui looked down at the humans in the valley, "Tell me, and I'll let you die more peacefully."
All the humans exchanged glances, but they all stood united, realizing these underworld evils fear arrows, which gave them confidence!
"What are you being so arrogant about? It's just a few pairs of wings flying high! Come down if you dare!" Jiang Chuan shouted.
The celestial maiden Guanghui's gaze always lingered on those arrows glowing with golden light, analyzing the strange power. Even with her eyes, she couldn't discern what these formations were. But as her attention shifted to the arrows in the hunters' hands, she realized something.
The arrows were made of the most ordinary material, but the power was sealed within the formations on the arrow shaft. The humans in Changpan Valley couldn't possibly create formations this complex, which means they were assisted by an external expert!
It seems this matter must be thoroughly investigated!
However, the celestial maiden Guanghui had already experienced the might of the arrows earlier. These arrows only trigger upon contact; without touching them, the formations inside won't activate. This way, she knew how to deal with these arrows.
"Pitiful humans, do you really think a few arrows can stand against the great Moon God? Since you overestimate yourselves, I'll utterly crush your confidence and show you what a true god means!"
The celestial maiden Guanghui smiled faintly and then truly began to descend.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
All the hunters saw she had entered range, so they immediately nocked arrows and shot again, aiming to bring down this woman.
However, the celestial maiden Guanghui did not reveal her true form; she simply fluttered her four pairs of pristine white wings, the feathers of which carried Spiritual Power, and gently swept them!
Suddenly, fierce winds whipped around her, and these winds seemed to have a mind of their own, swirling around her, and in just a blink, they blew away all the arrows, skewing them off their original trajectory.
"Her methods are incredibly powerful! She can control the wind!"
Uncle Liang was extremely surprised. No matter how skilled their archery, they couldn't withstand the strong winds. The arrows that were shot were blown away, unable to hit her.
"You beasts plan to resist the Divine Lord, but with just these methods?"
The celestial maiden Guanghui softly looked at the astonished humans, then fluttered her wings again!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
All the arrows flying in the sky were caught up by the wind, suddenly reversing direction, and swiftly shot back at the humans!
"Not good! Get out of the way!"
Jiang Feng and Jiang Shan shouted, immediately directing their clansmen to dodge.
Everyone was startled as they didn't expect the celestial maiden Guanghui to pull such a move, having the arrows they shot be retaliated against them! Moreover, with the wind's acceleration, the arrows seemed to fly even faster. If they were to hit, it wouldn't be just a matter of being immobilized; there would be massive casualties.
"A group of lowly beasts, such a weak counterattack has scared you to this extent." The celestial maiden Guanghui mocked with her pure voice.
But then, suddenly a ripple spread out, covering the sky above Changpan Valley. All the divine arrows shot toward the humans abruptly halted mid-air, not advancing further as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
"That was close! Thank goodness the divine arrows recognize their own."
Uncle Liang patted his chest and wiped off his cold sweat. Everyone else relaxed slightly, involuntarily looking at Xiang Beifei with gratitude. These divine arrows came from Xiang Beifei, and it was clear he was the one who stopped them.
The celestial maiden Guanghui squinted, and this time she saw clearly where this power originated from.
It was indeed from Xiang Beifei!
——
"So the weakness of these arrows can be countered this way."
Xiang Beifei realized.
He knew the arrows he created couldn't be entirely flawless; they must have weaknesses. But since they hadn't been tested in real combat, he wasn't sure how they would be countered, so he decided to experiment with these Meat-Winged Monsters.
The overall effect was satisfactory. At the very least, it could catch the God Refining stage Meat-Winged Monsters off-guard. Of course, the celestial maiden Guanghui at the orifice transforming stage quickly figured out a way to deal with them. Once the first batch of Meat-Winged Monsters suffered, the second batch wouldn't be fooled.
But Xiang Beifei wasn't surprised. He never expected the first-generation divine arrows to defeat the celestial maiden Guanghui. Initial products inevitably have flaws; he could always launch second or third generations. Versions evolve gradually, don't they?
"Woof! Woof!"
