"Xin Wudao, Qi Fengxian! Open your eyes and look clearly! The Grand Dragon Tooth Order is here! Without my command, no one is allowed to move!"
Shangguan Yi was furious too. Elder Tie had torn off the pretense, and he knew that trying to keep things friendly was no longer possible.
Even if he didn't want to stand on Jiang Chen's side, he had no other choice!
Xin Wudao and Qi Fengxian exchanged a glance, hardened their hearts, and a vicious light flared in their eyes. They shouted, "Mr. Shangguan, we dare not disobey the orders of the Treasure Tree Sect Elder. Sorry, we'll have to offend you!"
As soon as Xin Wudao finished speaking, he gave a signal and rushed toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen had been watching the changes in the situation with a cold, silent smile, but he was on constant guard. Seeing Xin Wudao and the others suddenly rush to surround him, he showed no mercy with the Dayu Bow in his hand.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!* The arrows flew like meteors, striking Xin Wudao and Qi Fengxian, who were at the forefront, with lightning speed.
The power of these arrows contained Jiang Chen's strongest offensive essence, infused with the quintessence of the Moon-Shattering Flying Knife.
They looked ordinary, but a murderous intent surged within.
Elder Tie had originally thought that with so many people, killing Jiang Chen would be as easy as crushing an ant.
But suddenly—
Elder Tie's expression changed, and he roared, "Not good, there's something off with these arrows, fall back quickly!"
Easier said than done!
By the time Elder Tie's warning was shouted, Xin Wudao and Qi Fengxian had already charged too far forward. Trying to dodge was completely impossible.
The arrows shimmered like stars, then merged into the void along a strange trajectory. The next instant, when the light blazed before them, the arrows had already pierced their throats!
*Pfft, pfft, pfft!*
Three arrows, hitting three heads.
The powerful shattering force was like exploding stars, blowing three perfectly good heads straight apart, erupting into a rain of blood and gore.
Xin Wudao and Qi Fengxian, who were both powerful experts of the first level of the Spirit Realm, were blown to pieces without any warning whatsoever!
This turn of events, let alone Elder Tie who hadn't anticipated it, even Shangguan Yi, whose martial cultivation was stronger, hadn't expected it at all.
Based on their intuition, they had sensed that Jiang Chen was only at the first level of the Spirit Realm, not even at the second level.
With this level of cultivation, in a one-on-one fight against Xin Wudao and the others, it was hard to say who would win.
In a group fight, they didn't think Jiang Chen could last even ten rounds.
But the reality left them completely dumbfounded.
Judging from Jiang Chen's demeanor, he clearly didn't consider Xin Wudao and the others opponents of the same level at all. The arrows were released in rapid succession, one for each, like shooting gourds, completely without any pressure.
Jiang Chen patted his Golden-Winged Sword Bird and quickly retreated several hundred meters, pointing the Dayu Bow toward Elder Tie's direction from afar.
Tian Shao, riding his own Golden-Winged Sword Bird, was very cooperative and also retreated to Jiang Chen's side.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Three headless corpses crashed heavily to the dusty ground, smashing into three lumps of flesh, causing the Dragon Tooth Guards below to be terrified and their expressions to change drastically.
Any one of these three was a significant figure within the Dragon Tooth Guard!
Xin Wudao and Qi Fengxian were even among the top ten Commanders of the Dragon Tooth Guard. Who could have imagined that they would have their heads blown off by a single move?
Instant kill!
Even though the Dragon Tooth Guards were usually formidable and ran roughshod, seeing the tragic state of Xin Wudao and Qi Fengxian still sent chills down their spines. They finally realized that this boy, Jiang Chen, was truly not to be trifled with!
If everyone's previous understanding of Jiang Chen had only been based on various rumors, then at this moment, after seeing him act personally, all those rumors were far less convincing than the power of these three arrows.
Even Shangguan Yi was slightly stunned. He knew Jiang Chen was a genius, knew he had talent, but he hadn't expected that Jiang Chen's martial cultivation was actually this monstrous!
For a long time, the outside world had believed that Jiang Chen was arrogant because of his favored position, knowing some crooked ways, and was valued by the old man Ye Chonglou.
They hadn't expected that Jiang Chen was not simply someone who knew a few unorthodox skills.
Just based on the power of these three arrows, his martial talent—even the self-assured Shangguan Yi had to admit that at his age, he himself probably couldn't come close to Jiang Chen!
"This Jiang Chen, being able to win the old man's favor, truly lives up to his reputation! It seems that before, both His Majesty and I overlooked Jiang Chen's martial talent. We were completely misled by his unorthodox abilities! This boy Jiang Chen's martial talent is likely first-rate even when viewed across all Sixteen Surrounding Kingdoms!"
In an instant, Shangguan Yi wasn't angry; instead, he was delighted. With Jiang Chen's martial talent being so outstanding, it only further solidified his determination to support Crown Prince Ye Rong.
That Elder Tie also had surprise written all over his face, his eyes staring fixedly at Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, you... you dare to kill someone right in front of me?"
Elder Tie felt his face burning with shame. Xin Wudao and the others had been ordered by him to kill Jiang Chen, yet in the blink of an eye, they had been instantly killed by Jiang Chen instead.
"Elder Tie, this little thief dared to kill someone right under your nose! He doesn't put the Treasure Tree Sect Elder in his eyes at all!" Yang Xiaoqing shrieked, fanning the flames.
Elder Tie's face turned dark as he slowly nodded, looking toward Shangguan Yi: "Shangguan Yi, I never thought you were truly a coward. These people are all your subordinates, yet you watched them be killed without lifting a finger. It seems the Dragon Tooth Guard really needs a thorough reorganization."
