Baxia responded quickly and, like a beam of light, darted out from behind Lan Hua's shoulder.
The true dragon's body reappeared, swelled in mid-air, and transformed into a true dragon a hundred feet long, obscuring Lan Hua.
The arrows rained down on the dragon's body, either bouncing off or shattering completely, failing to harm Baxia in the slightest.
Baxia's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Dan Shen realm, and the hardness of its scales far surpassed that of the Jiaolong clan in the Lian Shen realm.
The man in black was only at the early stage of the Refining God Realm. Even if his invisible arrow technique was powerful, it could not harm Baxia's scale armor.
"How could this be? This little turtle is actually a real dragon!" The man in black's eyes showed great surprise.
Baxia has been staying with Lanhua at the Duanmu family for several months, but Lanhua has protected him very well.
When meeting people, he would always put Baxia in the cloth bag at his waist. Only when they were alone would Baxia sit on Lan Hua's shoulders.
Duanmu Zhenghua, perched atop the clouds, seemed to have known of Baxia's existence for some time. His face showed no obvious surprise, and he muttered to himself:
"This kid brought up the dragon prince so quickly, is the dragon prince his trump card?"
Baxia gently twisted his body, deflecting a volley of arrows, and said disdainfully:
"What the hell? Is this supposed to tickle me?"
Upon hearing this, the man in black twitched his eye, and even Lan Hua showed an embarrassed expression.
To a true dragon, an invisible arrow is truly nothing.
Just as Baxia blocked the black-clad man's Nine Heavens Moon-Grabbing move, Lanhua unhesitatingly unleashed Ten Thousand Arrows to clear the way.
If it were any other enemy, not a skilled archer, Lan Hua would definitely use a talisman arrow, or even a cloud-piercing arrow.
But this time it won't work. The opponent is proficient in invisible archery and can easily intercept Lan Hua's talisman arrows and cloud-piercing arrows.
An invisible arrow, containing most of Lan Hua's Yuan Power, shot into the sky, startling Duanmu Zhenghua.
"This kid has truly mastered the art of clearing a path with ten thousand arrows?"
Duanmu Zhenghua took a closer look, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, "It's still all form and no spirit. This kid at least has some self-awareness and didn't do anything reckless!"
The invisible arrow shot by Lan Hua pierced through the clouds, and then the sky surged with wind and clouds, raining down thousands of arrows that shot towards the man in black.
"Hmm? A barrage of arrows clearing the way?"
The man in black's expression changed drastically. He dared not be careless and activated his magic technique, causing a surge of blue elemental energy to condense on his body.
Countless invisible arrows swept across the men in black, creating a whooshing sound, and a streak of light appeared in the sky.
boom!
The invisible arrow struck the man in black, instantly engulfing him, but failed to penetrate his body.
"Um?"
Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, her spiritual power surging forth as she controlled the myriad arrows to shoot towards the man in black.
The man in black initially appeared extremely relaxed, but after a few breaths, a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes. Finally, his Yuan energy surged wildly as he used all his strength to resist the arrow attack.
Lan Hua's expression changed slightly, then she suddenly realized, "So you have armor protecting you, no wonder you weren't afraid of my 10,000 arrows clearing the way!"
Although the man in black was wearing armor, it was not spirit armor, but rather a treasure-level armor.
Therefore, it is necessary to use one's own Yuan Power to withstand the arrows.
"Hmph, if it's not spirit armor, then that makes things easier!"
Lan Hua let the last wave of invisible arrows attack the man in black, but with her left hand she raised the Yueque Bow again and her right hand she nocked the bowstring.
With his eyes slightly closed, a beam of light flowed from his meridians into the Yueque Bow, and then the bow fully condensed into an invisible arrow.
This invisible arrow is quite different from the previous ones. It is almost tangible, with extremely bright light, but the arrow energy it emits is very weak.
An arrow was shot out, growing to a length of ten feet, and aimed at the black-clad man's abdomen.
Duanmu Zhenghua's expression changed instantly, and he muttered, "This boy is truly unexpected; he has mastered that archery technique so quickly!"
At this moment, the man in black was doing his best to resist the last wave of invisible arrow energy.
Seeing Lan Hua fire another arrow, but unable to free his hands to retaliate, he could only use his armor to defend himself.
"Hmph, no matter how many arrows you shoot, it's useless. You can't break through my armor, so it's all in vain."
"A thousand arrows clearing the way would be extremely taxing. Once I block this attack, even if you have a true dragon protecting you, I still have a way to destroy you!"
Just as the man in black was brimming with confidence, an invisible arrow aimed at his abdomen pierced through his armor, causing him to feel a sharp, piercing pain.
"Oh no, it's the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow! How can it be so fast?"
By the time the man in black realized what was happening, it was too late.
A talismanic arrow arrived instantly, piercing his abdomen through a hole in his armor.
"ah..."
The man in black screamed several times as his body was blasted away.
The arrow not only pierced the black-clad man's lower abdomen (dantian), but also his primordial spirit.
"You actually destroyed my dantian!"
The man in black roared, "Come to hell with me!"
A beam of blue light shot out from his body and rushed towards Lan Hua. It was his damaged primordial spirit, intending to perish together with the latter.
Baxia hovered to the side, quietly watching the black-clad man's primordial spirit fly over, without making any move.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows thunder!"
Lan Hua struck out with several palms, the power of the runes surging, and several silver lights spewed out, striking the rapidly flying primordial spirit.
"ah..."
The primordial spirit let out a miserable cry, and its radiance dimmed considerably as its power rapidly dissipated.
"It's actually a lightning-based talisman!"
The black-clad man's primordial spirit was severely damaged, and even if a celestial being were to arrive, there would be no way to save him; he would have no chance to self-destruct.
The primordial spirit unfolded from a ball of light, returning to its human form. A gust of wind blew by, and it almost drifted away with the wind.
"It's you, Ninth Guest Elder, Gao Feihu!"
Lan Hua was slightly startled. "Guest Elder Gao, why did you try to assassinate me?"
Gao Feihu said weakly, "Guess?"
Lan Hua snorted, "Could it be that you've come for those two archery manuals?"
"Indeed, what makes you so special that you possess two unparalleled archery techniques at the same time!"
Gao Feihu said hatefully, "You are only a minor Dan Shen realm cultivator. That arrow technique is temporarily useless to you. If I obtain it, my strength will greatly increase."
I no longer need to stay in the Duanmu family; the world is vast, and I can roam freely!
"useless?"
Lan Hua sneered, "The one that broke through your armor was the Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow."
Although my cultivation level is insufficient, and I cannot break through the spirit armor for the time being, I can barely manage the treasure armor!
Gao Feihu said angrily, "The patriarch clearly said that this archery technique requires the cultivation of the Refining Spirit Realm to learn. How did you master it so quickly?"
"You don't need to know!"
After saying that, Lan Hua made a gesture with her right hand, and Gao Feihu's primordial spirit was captured in her palm.
Clenching his fist, a faint red light shone through the gaps in his fist.
Gao Feihu let out a miserable scream and then fell silent.
After finishing off Gao Feihu, Lan Hua suddenly collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale and appearing extremely weak.
Baxia reverted to its tortoise form and landed on Lan Hua's shoulder, hurriedly asking, "Brother Hua, what's wrong?"
Lan Hua waved her hand, "It's nothing serious. It's just that using Ten Thousand Arrows to Clear the Way and Armor-Piercing Invisible Arrow in succession exhausted my Yuan Power."
"Damn it, those two ultimate moves consume so much Yuan energy! If there were one more person, I'd have to go with Gao Feihu!"
Just as Lan Hua and Ba Xia relaxed their guard, a bright light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a flying sword shot towards them at lightning speed.
boom!
The flying sword struck Lan Hua squarely in the chest, its powerful force sending Lan Hua flying a great distance.
"Damn it, I have such a bad mouth, everything I say comes true!"
Baxia: "..."
