Chapter 422: An Ambush Returning the Favor!
Zi Yan's fists might be small, but no one present dared to doubt her words.
Though she rarely had the chance to showcase her strength, underestimating her would be a grave mistake.
After all, her true form was that of a Taixu Ancient Dragon, and according to what she had revealed herself, she also possessed secret techniques. Defeating an ordinary Dou Zong would be an easy feat for her.
Of course, that was based on her current Dou Huang level strength. Before her breakthrough, she used to say:
"I could only beat a Dou Huang at the peak. That's all!"
Now, anyone who underestimated Zi Yan's power would suffer a miserable fate.
Even though she might not be as strong as Queen Medusa, she was still on par with Xiao Yi Xian.
While Xiao Yi Xian excelled in poison, Zi Yan, as a Taixu Ancient Dragon, was practically immune to most poisons.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to casually consume both poisonous and non poisonous medicinal herbs while absorbing them at incredible speeds.
So, naturally, everyone agreed with Zi Yan's confidence there was no room for doubt.
Of course, Wu Tian's indulgence toward her also played a role. Even though the two often seemed like bickering rivals, everyone knew how much he spoiled her.
If Zi Yan wanted to go destroy the Wind Lightning Pavilion, Wu Tian would be the first to accompany her.
So, whether it was Xin Lan or Han Xue, they both firmly believed in her words.
If Wu Tian and his group weren't here, Han Xue would have been deeply worried.
But now, she felt completely at ease.
"With Brother in law here, if the Wind Lightning Pavilion really dares to make a move, they're just asking for their own destruction."
Han Xue, once an ice cold beauty, had now completely warmed up after spending days with them. She even giggled playfully as she spoke.
"The Wind Lightning Pavilion… 'Three Thousand Lightning Movement'… Heh, I wonder if that certain someone has had some 'interesting encounters' with them?"
Wu Tian's lips curled into a mischievous smirk, seemingly recalling someone from the past.
Under the blazing sun, the clear sky stretched endlessly.
The scorching heat baked the land, causing even the trees along the roadside to droop under the relentless sunlight.
On a spacious road, a well organized convoy galloped forward, leaving a massive trail of dust in its wake.
"Brother in law, we're about to enter Tianbei City's territory! We're almost there!"
Inside the carriage, Han Xue peeked out before turning back excitedly toward Wu Tian.
Wu Tian awkwardly nodded in response.
Han Xue blinked, puzzled.
Why did Brother in law seem so uncomfortable?
Meanwhile, the other women covered their mouths, stifling their laughter.
Han Xue wanted to ask what was going on, but something told her that whatever was behind those mysterious smiles was probably embarrassing.
So, she chose to pretend she didn't notice and planned to ask later once they got off the carriage.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As the carriage sped forward, a sudden barrage of arrows rained down from both sides of the road.
The arrows covered the entire convoy, leaving no escape routes. If they hit, the entire group would be riddled with holes, with heavy casualties.
However
The Han Family's forces were well prepared.
A wave of Dou Qi exploded outward, forming a protective barrier that completely deflected the incoming arrows.
Not a single arrow managed to breach the defense.
This scene left the ambushers completely stunned.
When did the Han Family's guards become this strong?!
With a single burst of Dou Qi, they neutralized an entire volley of arrows?
That meant the average strength of these guards had to be at least Dou Ling…
But that was over a hundred people!
If the Han Family were really this powerful, they would have wiped out the Hong Family long ago.
Even the Wind Lightning Pavilion would have chosen to support them instead.
A hundred Dou Ling warriors this was no small force!
With the right training, some of them could even advance to Dou Wang level!
"Heh… Seems like you were prepared, even using a formation. But unfortunately…"
A sinister laugh echoed from within the trees as a large group of black clad figures emerged, blocking the final stretch of the road leading to Tianbei City.
At the forefront stood two elderly men.
"Hmph! Just as expected it's you, Hong Family!"
Upon seeing the unconcealed Hong Family crest, Han Chong and the other guards erupted in fury.
Recognizing the red insignia on their chests, rage surged through them, their Dou Qi flaring explosively.
The sheer intensity of their aura forced the Hong Family's men to instinctively retreat.
"Hehehe… This formation is quite strong, but ultimately, it's just for show."
Ignoring Han Chong and the other guards, the two elders locked their gaze onto Han Xue's carriage.
"Miss Han Xue, come out now. The two of us are here for you!"
"Creak…"
The carriage door slowly opened.
With a cold and indifferent expression, Han Xue gracefully stepped out, her icy gaze fixed on the two elders.
She sneered.
"To think the Hong Family would send both Elder Hong Mu and Elder Hong Lie… just to capture a weak little girl like me. What an honor."
The two elders were about to boast arrogantly, but their words suddenly caught in their throats.
Because
They saw several people step out of the carriage behind her.
And among them was only one man the rest were all stunning women.
Each radiated a unique charm a diverse array of beauty.
This man… was unbelievably lucky!
The two elders secretly rejoiced
Anyone who traveled in the same carriage as Han Xue must be around the same level at most, Dou Wang.
A few Dou Wangs? They were no match for the two four star Dou Huangs!
"Hehehe… To think Miss Han Xue had so many beautiful sisters."
"**No need for idle talk. We're just following orders **all of you, come with us!"
Their expressions turned sinister, eyes gleaming with greed as they licked their lips.
"Sigh…"
Han Xue shook her head in exasperation, gazing at the two Hong Family elders with pity.
"You two are truly unlucky."
The elders froze.
What did she mean by that?
In the next instant, they understood everything.
Because
A scorching blast of energy erupted around them, sending all their men flying.
The force was so overwhelming that they couldn't even resist.
The two elders immediately realized their mistake.
They hadn't come to capture someone.
They had walked straight into their own deaths.
"Since you like using arrows… allow me to show you what real arrows look like."
Queen Medusa's cold voice rang out.
With a wave of her hand, a massive spectral bow materialized, and in the sky above, thousands of energy arrows formed instantly.
A moment later
The arrows rained down mercilessly.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The sound of arrows piercing flesh filled the air.
In just a few seconds, every single Hong Family soldier lay dead except for the two elders, who had been left crippled.
"Tsk tsk tsk… Returning the favor. My wife's precision is truly impressive."
Wu Tian smirked, clicking his tongue in admiration.
