Chapter 242: Leaving the Realm, Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand_3
Looking at the Cloud Abyss in his hand, Chu Zheng pondered for a moment before he put it away and temporarily sealed it.
The Cloud Abyss was, after all, Tai Xu Holy Land's treasured artifact. If there were any hidden traps inside, he wouldn't be able to detect them, so it was better not to use it.
If he really could kill Bai Zhixiao, he would have plenty of time to slowly refine this Semi-Immortal Treasure in the future.

The news that the Taixuan Holy Master was about to leave began to quietly spread within Wanlong City. It wasn't common knowledge, just occasionally mentioned by two or three individuals in a subtle way.
Several days later, a fiery streak of light soared from within Wanlong City, directly heading towards the Taixuan Holy Land without any concealment.
Now that Chu Zheng had reached the Tongxuan level of cultivation, he once again operated the Star-shatter Shuttle. His speed was incomparably faster than before, shockingly astonishing, and in an instant, he had already left the Biluo Country.
After nearly ten million miles from Wanlong City, Chu Zheng left a strand of Divine Sense to operate the Star-shatter Shuttle while his true body used the Invisibility Technique, completely merging into the Void.
Through the Heavenly Divination Technique, he could sense that Bai Zhixiao was following right behind him, maintaining a distance, clearly looking for an opportunity to strike.
But Chu Zheng did not plan to give him that opportunity.
A golden bow emerged in his palm, he held his breath, gazing at the distant Void, and slowly drew the bowstring.
The Immortal Patterns on the Falling Star Bow, unused for tens of thousands of years, began flowing again. Inside his Dantian, both the Five Elements Immortal Root and the Nine Orifices Golden Core stirred slightly, Mana mixed with Yuan Qi surged out like a burst dam, all absorbed by the Falling Star Bow.
A luminous arrow wrapped in five-colored radiance slowly formed on the bowstring, ready to be unleashed.
Whoosh whoosh—
Suddenly, the sound of water rushing filled the Void, growing louder and louder until it turned into the roar of furious waves, extraordinarily alarming.
A river of Sword Qi fell from the sky, aiming precisely at Chu Zheng's hidden location. Its blossoms of sword aura, dragon-like, carrying powerful waves of Immortal Force, instantly tore through tens of thousands of miles of the Void, with a killing intent that shocked the world.
Tai Xu Holy Land's Sect-Defending Secret Scripture, Tai Yuan Dragon Sword Dance!
Not having time to think about why his location was exposed, Chu Zheng instantly released the bowstring, and the arrow flew, like a long rainbow piercing through the sun, a sword arced across the sky, splitting the entire river into two segments.
Spurt!
A burst of blood blossomed in the Void. Bai Zhixiao emerged from within the river of Sword Qi, wearing dark Battle Armor, the shoulder portion of which had been pierced through, revealing a blood hole, from which blood gushed like a fountain.
"Chu Zheng! You truly have audacity beyond measure, daring to use yourself as bait?!"
Bai Zhixiao covered his shoulder, his expression both shocked and angry, recognizing in an instant what Chu Zheng had planned.
He had never anticipated that Chu Zheng, newly advanced to Tongxuan, would dare to make such a swift move against him. Explore stories at empire
That arrow just now was extremely perilous. If not for his keen Spiritual Perception and the immediate donning of this Demi Immortal-level Battle Armor, his flesh would have been utterly torn apart by now, or he might have even died outright.
"Just stepped into Tongxuan and you grow so presumptuous, relying on a Semi-Immortal Treasure to openly oppose me. With your level of Mana, how many more times can you activate it?!"
The sense of crisis at death's door dispelled Bai Zhixiao's previous composure, and with a furious roar, the Sword Qi river lit up around him again, wrapped in the roars of dragons.
"If nothing goes wrong, perhaps... I can only shoot one more arrow."
Chu Zheng estimated briefly, responding indifferently, then he activated his repair panel to fully replenish the dried-up Mana within his body, pulling the bowstring once more.
His full strength could indeed barely manage two arrows.
