Poison Genius Consort - Chapter 582

Chapter 582: Earthshaking, a contest of strength between titans 

Who had come?

It wasn't just one person, but a man and a woman, both of them dressed in black with faces concealed. Their identities were unclear. But the man was holding the woman around her waist, his other hand wielding a whip. His form was tall and mysterious as he hovered in the air. The woman in his arms didn't seem to care a whit about the barrage of arrows flying their way, but was wholly focused on the thousand-year ginkgo tree instead!

Chu Yunyi immediately knew this was Long Feiye and Han Yunxi. He had never seen Long Feiye's golden dragon whip skills first hand, but he'd heard Witch Aunt speak of it plenty. Last time at the Poison Sect's underground palace, Witch Aunt had discovered that Long Feiye's true skills laid not in Celestial Mountain's swordsmanship, but his previously unknown whip skills. The woman he was holding had to be the true Han Yunxi—the one who didn't know any martial arts.

Long Feiye ended up setting Han Yunxi by the base of the ginkgo tree. The masked man who had laughed earlier now immediately made for the tree himself, mercilessly kicking aside all of the female poison masters in the way. He stood in front of Han Yunxi and acted as her guard. Of course, this fellow was none other than Gu Qishao. The other two masked men were, naturally, Chu Xifeng and Tang Li.

As soon as Gu Qishao reached Han Yunxi, Long Feiye took to the skies again, fighting off enemies the entire way like Chu Xifeng and Tang Li. His exquisite whip techniques and massive internal energy helped him scatter countless swathes of arrows with each strike!

"Long Feiye! You've finally arrived!" Chu Yunyi shouted, but Long Feiye only ignored him to press back against the oncoming horde of archers. Chu Yunyi had been itching for a real fight with Long Feiye for ages, so he took out an arrow of his own and notched it on an imaginary bow. He'd put so much force into the shot that the very shaft was already vibrating before he released it, a precision killing machine!

The large amounts of killing intent caused Long Feiye to glance over, but his icy eyes held nothing but scorn and disdain.

"Go die!" Chu Yunyi roared as he released his arrow. Ten more appeared to fly in its wake, all of them harboring an overpowering, murderous aura. Their thrumming bodies even gave life to the very air currents as they ripped through the skies. Moreover, each and every arrow seemed to possess a life of its own as they aimed for the various vital points on Long Feiye's body.

In that moment, everyone's eyes were on the arrows. Tang Li and Chu Xifeng were both fighting off their own archers and looking over at the same time, while even the unconscionable Gu Qishao felt a twinge of worry. Han Yunxi, who was busy searching for the Wood of Ten-Thousand Poisons, also paused in her work. Although she couldn't sense killing intent and had no idea what was going on, instinct told her that Long Feiye was in danger.

Closely, the captured Gu Beiyue creased his brows as he stared fixedly at the ten or more arrows tearing through the skies. Without a doubt, they'd been imbibed with potent power. Long Feiye himself had sensed the coming onslaught and knew that being hit by the weapons would be fatal. He had no time to think, because his whip was limited by distance—he needed ample time to maneuver the weapon, which became less effective in close-quarters combat. Once the arrows drew too close, he'd have no choice but to use his sword. But if he did that, Chu Yunyi would conclusively identity him as the Duke of Qin to the rest of the crowd.

Chu Yunyi might have been far away, but the speed of his arrows was instantaneous. Long Feiye had no choice but to move his whip on instinct! The long, slender weapon was no less inferior than the arrows. Their true showdown would began once they met in mid-air. As the whip headed towards the arrows, time itself seemed to stop!
