Chapter 1683: The Gray-Haired Youth

What?!

Wu Fengzi and those who had just formed the idea to kill Lin Xun all paled at this instant.

That sinful beast has gotten free!

Their minds buzzed and almost exploded at the thought of this.

No sooner had the mysterious force aiding Lin Xun disappeared than the spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow had broken free from confinement, pushing Wu Fengzi’s group to the verge of collapse.

Blessings seldom came in pairs, but misfortunes never came singly!

The Sacred Fusang Tree looked dim, and its branches and leaves all took on a grayish color. The Emperor Decree had drained it of most of its power, leaving it with no possibility to suppress the weapon spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow any longer.

At this moment, the figure was standing in the air and laughing maniacally at the sky. His savage killing intent was a wild torrent that drowned the sky and the earth.

Looking closely, he had an extremely handsome appearance, but his beard and hair was a bleak gray. His eyes were like two swirling black holes that flowed with a hair-raising light.

“Young Master, lend me the big bow for a moment!” The gray-haired youth looked at Lin Xun and bowed with deference.

This was tantamount to giving Lin Xun his approval.

To be exact, from the moment Lin Xun had killed his way into Sunset Current Valley to rescue him, he had already approved of this young man.

“Catch!” Lin Xun casually tossed out the No-Nonsense Bow and the Biluo Arrow, which were easily caught by the gray-haired youth.

Buzz!

The gray-haired youth hooked the bowstring with his index finger. The sound it produced was like that of a stirring thunderstorm.

His eyes glowed with excitement and glazed over in elation as he muttered, “My old bones…are finally able to roam this world again. Demon Crow, you old bastard…just clean your neck and wait… Soon, I will find you and take my revenge!”

After finishing, he looked up and swept his eyes over Wu Fengzi’s group. The corner of his lips curled up into a cold arc, and his voice was eerily violent:

“I once said that once I got out, all the sufferings inflicted on me over these countless years shall be returned one by one. And now, it is the time!”

He abruptly pulled the bowstring, and the Biluo Arrow shot out explosively.

Boom!

It was merely an arrow, yet it had the might to tear apart the sky and shatter mountains. A ferocious aura as thick as a substance accompanied the arrow as it whistled out.

Vaguely, bursts of fighting and killing sounds echoed.

Lin Xun was getting goosebumps all over. In the hands of its own spirit, the No-Nonsense Bow’s might had reached a completely new level of unimaginable terror.

“Dodge!” shouted Wu Fengzi.

But his reminder was a little too late. Or rather, it was impossible to dodge an arrow of this caliber.

Bang!

A person exploded. Blood and flesh splattered.

It was Wu Lingzi. Just like that, a Saint-King had been blown apart by a single arrow, and his shattered body dissolved in the ferocious, thick light!

Wu Hengtian’s group was horrified. As a sense of utter dread shrouded them, they fled immediately, almost as if out of instinct.

The artifact spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow was too terrifying!

During his suppression, they had been able to view him as a sinful entity to be tortured and sullied, but the situation had completely turned around now that he had been freed.

The power he possessed far exceeded the imagination of any of the old monsters of the Golden Crow Clan!

“Wanna escape? Not a chance!”

The gray-haired youth was like a ferocious god, bending his bow. In a split second, he had shot out more than ten arrows, and each arrow had the divine might of penetrating the sky and sinking the sun and moon.

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

One Golden Crow expert after another was impaled. They exploded into rains of blood, and their spirits were destroyed.

Big Saints or True Saints, it didn’t matter as none could escape death after being locked on as a target.

The gray-haired youth stood in the void; his figure was thin and emitted a ferocious aura that pierced the clouds. The hideous bow made of white bones in his grip only made him look more extraordinary and mighty.

Even Lin Xun couldn’t help but gasp.

Too strong!

To think that a weapon spirit, who had been imprisoned for infinite years and suffered endless scourging and tormenting, could still have such monstrous strength after he got free.

Lin Xun didn’t dare to imagine what kind of heaven-defying power the spirit of the No-Nonsense Bow had possessed in the past at his peak.

Wu Lingzi was a Saint-King, which was a most supreme being in the Ancient Wasteland Domain, but he could not block the gray-haired youth’s attack at all!

The bowstring unleashed the sound of raging thunder on repeat. The gray-haired youth stood among the clouds, his hair dancing wildly and his handsome face masked in a biting arrogance.

“That year, I swore that I would one day flatten this place and wipe out the Golden Crow Lineage. If I let you escape today, wouldn’t my words mean nothing? Can’t let that happen.

“Hahaha, look at you mongrels, still as cowardly as you were back then! Where is the courage you had when you tortured me? Why can’t I see any of that now?

“It’s a pity that this Sunset Current Valley no longer has any quasi-Emperors. It’s ultimately unpleasant that all there is to kill are you useless old mongrels…”

The gray-haired youth’s voice was filled with hatred as it echoed endlessly throughout the valley.

At this moment, he was like a ferocious god of vengeance, venting all of his resentment and hatred that had accumulated over these boundless years into his attacks.

He was carrying out a reckless hunt in Sunset Current Valley.

……

Toady, A’lu, and the others had just come to their senses after the clash between Lin Xun and the Emperor Decree had overwhelmed and shocked them greatly despite the great distance.

They had barely calmed down when the gray-haired youth started blasting out like crazy with the No-Nonsense Bow.

They all couldn’t help but freeze once again.

“Oh boy, which big shot is this? Isn’t his battle power a little too savage?” screeched A’lu.

“Who else could it be? No doubt it’s the weapon spirit of that bow. According to Big Brother, this fellow is extremely formidable. The Golden Crow Clan had suppressed him here for infinite years and used all sorts of methods but still failed to kill him. He’s just unreasonably, freakishly strong.” Toady clicked his tongue and marveled.

“For a weapon spirit to be this terrifying, what kind of amazing background must that bow have?” The big black bird’s eyes were set ablaze by greed as it stared intently at the gray-haired youth and the No-Nonsense Bow, salivating.

Now that is the real deal, an absolute treasure!

Hmm?

The gray-haired youth seemed to notice the big black bird’s gaze and suddenly looked over. The ferocity swirling in those eyes frightened the big black bird so immensely that it shivered and hurriedly retracted its gaze.

“Heh, a black crow. Looks like you’re not the same species as these old mongrels,” laughed the gray-haired youth. He then paid no more attention to the big black bird and teleported away to give chase.

The big black bird’s face clouded over as it spat and cursed, “Master Bird’s origin can scare even a Great Emperor to death, how can an ordinary black crow have anything on me?”

The crowd rolled their eyes.

Please, scaring Great Emperors to death? Some big talk this bird can spew!

They didn’t stay idle either and all started sweeping through the Sunset Current Valley.

In just the time to drink a cup of tea, no more living Golden Crow experts could be spotted in the huge Sunset Current Valley. The place was left with nothing but corpses and wreckage.

“Quick, everyone help me look for the Clear Water of Crow’s Nest. Oh, I almost forgot, and also Sacred Sun Stones! As many as you can!” The excited voice of the big black bird drifted around the field.

Since the enemy were as good as wiped out and their lair was waiting to be trampled through, this was the time to search for treasures and loot wealth.

The Golden Crow Clan was an ancient clan that had been residing in this Sunset Current Valley since the primeval era. The wealth they had accumulated over these long years was simply unimaginable!

Even Toady, A’lu, Shaohao, and the others were startled as they searched. There were just too many treasures, ranging from exotic items to divine materials and aeth herbs.

On top of that, there was no lack of some ancient treasures, powerful Saint weapons, and even some rare ores as well as books and tomes.

Despite having some interest in it, Lin Xun didn’t participate in this gourmet feast of dividing up the loots because he still had more important things to do.

“Ahhhh, the Sacred Fusang Tree! Heavens, please don’t let this be a dream! To think that this sacred tree still exists! Truly a miracle!” shouted a divine tree with a sturdy trunk and green leaves emotionally, its thousands of branches clattering as if it was waving its hands.

It was precisely the spirit refinement ancestral tree!

Before leaving the underground palace secret realm in the Blood Demon Territory, Lin Xun had taken this tree with him and kept it inside the Dao Endless Pagoda.

This spirit refinement ancestral tree was very peculiar. It had cultivated by the Sky Splitting Great Emperor, traveled worlds, and experienced many things.

Moreover, it also possessed intelligence and a spirit, and harbored the spirit refinement ancestral origin that was greatly beneficial to the refinement of Lin Xun’s life-bound Saint weapon.

“What is it? Can you take this tree away?” asked Lin Xun.

The spirit refinement ancestral tree exuberantly said, “Why would I take it away? It’s much better for me to refine it and integrate it into myself!”

“You can devour this tree for your own use?” An odd look flashed through the stunned Lin Xun’s face.

Even now when he had mastered both the Great Dao Furnace Art and the Great Endless Devour Scripture, he still didn’t dare to say that he could consume such a sacred tree that had existed since the primeval era.

Yet, the spirit refinement ancestral tree was staring at it like the latter was a fat prey, which was appalling.

“Of course I can! But it will take time. In at most a thousand years, no, five thousand years, I will definitely be able to refine all the power and dao runes contained in this tree!” declared the spirit refinement ancestral tree.

Lin Xun immediately said, “I don’t have five thousand years to spare to wait for you.”

The spirit refinement ancestral tree became anxious and clenched its teeth. “Then let’s cut it down. I only need its ‘origin root.’”

“Out of the question.” The air rippled as the gray-haired youth teleported over and said, “The Sacred Fusang Tree was born in chaos and grew with the origin of the Samadhi True Fire. Since its spirit has long been taken away by the Demon Crow Great Emperor, this world will be left with no more Sacred Fusang Tree if you cut this one down.”

For the gray-haired youth to return at this time, it was highly likely that Wu Lingzi and the Golden Crow group had fallen.

Lin Xun was taken aback, “You don’t hate it?”

The gray-haired youth’s gaze was complicated, “This tree was born and raised by nature without any sense of good and evil. It was only used and controlled by the Golden Crow Clan. It’s impossible for me to hate it.”

Lin Xun nodded in understanding.

The gray-haired youth added, “This tree is one of the Four Sacred Trees of the ancient times. Young Master, do you know why the Demon Crow Great Emperor insisted on taking away its spirit before he left for the Ancient Nebula Road?”
