Chapter 262: The Yellow Dragon Bow

A single word awakened those in dreamland!
The members of the seven major sects quickly coordinated their actions. Some were tasked with blocking the flying knives swirling wildly in the Wangling Hall, while others hid behind the coiling dragon stone pillars, shooting arrows frantically or firing hidden weapons at the “Flying Knife Ninjas” in the passage. Although most of these weapons and archery skills were of inferior quality, the numerical and tactical advantages on their side gradually became apparent.
The hall was spacious, so the flying knives fired from the passage scattered, minimizing damage to everyone.
On the contrary!
Arrows, flying knives, and hidden weapons fired from various directions in the hall converged in the passage, creating a dense barrage that was extremely terrifying.
The defensive capabilities of the Flying Knife Ninjas in the passage were clearly weak. After one round, more than half of those in the front line were severely injured, drastically weakening their fierce offensive momentum. With the pressure reduced, the seven major sects grew even more enthusiastic.
They shot double arrows from a single bow or fired flying knives in rapid succession, throwing various hidden weapons into the passage without concern for accuracy. Their relentless assault completely stunned the Flying Knife Ninjas.
More and more ninjas stumbled under the attacks, their bodies pierced with various hidden weapons, looking pitiful and tragic. As a result, fewer and fewer flying knives were fired from the passage.
“Haha! It worked! They’re running!”
“Chase them!!”
“Maybe they possess advanced flying knife skills…”
Seeing their tactics succeed and the threat in the hall completely eliminated, the members of the seven major sects became excited. They stepped out from behind the coiling dragon stone pillars while continuing to pour various hidden weapons into the passage.
Unfortunately, the Flying Knife Ninjas moved quickly, instantly escaping the range of the weapons and retreating into the passage, luring more and more people in.
“Be careful! Don’t go in!”
Some members of the seven major sects quickly realized something was wrong. As they entered the passage, the firepower weakened significantly, so they hurriedly warned those ahead.
But it was too late.
The corpses of several Flying Knife Ninjas lying in the passage were an irresistible temptation for many. Ignoring the warnings, they focused solely on those corpses and rushed forward eagerly.
Among them, the Flying Tiger Sect was the most anxious, along with a few disciples from the Beggars’ Sect and Lingyin Society.
Just as these words were spoken, the retreating Flying Knife Ninjas suddenly stopped at once. Dozens of flying knives quickly scattered throughout the passage, shooting in all directions toward the disciples of the seven major sects at the front.
In the narrow passage, the people at the front had no way to dodge. In horror, they watched countless flying knives rush toward them…

Inside the passage, sounds of bodies being pierced and screams echoed continuously.
“Damn it!”
“Retreat quickly!!”
A few seconds later!
A group of people rushed out of the passage in panic.
Inside the passage, over twenty corpses lay scattered in gruesome condition.
A group of throwing knife ninjas pressed forward again!
“Damn! We can’t get in……”
The Wudang and Shaolin sects, with fewer experts skilled in throwing knives, stayed at the back, which was why they suffered no casualties. The Emei and Caiyi sects remained in a safer area further back, while the Feihu Men, Lingyin Society, and Beggar Sect suffered heavy losses.
With continuous losses, the members of the three major sects were now less than half of what they were initially. The Feihu Men suffered the most, losing over a hundred members. Looking around at the more than two hundred corpses in the hall, a silent chill enveloped everyone’s hearts.
This was only the royal tomb hall—so many deaths already at the first checkpoint; the dangers inside were unimaginable!
Some people, thinking they might die here without gaining any benefits, grew anxious and wanted to retreat.
“They’re coming up again! Fire a round together!”
Ouyang Qing from the Wudang sect, unwilling to give up, gritted his teeth and loudly rallied everyone’s morale.
At this point, there were few left who could fight back. Even the Thirteen Stick Monks were forced to defend themselves. The Lingyin Society and Beggar Sect suffered heavy losses, with many injured. They healed under the cover of their sectmates. Aside from the largest group, the Feihu Men, only the Emei and Caiyi sects still had the strength to fight back.
Seeing these sects struggling to survive, the Emei sect finally set aside their differences with the Feihu Men. They rushed forward over the piles of corpses, joining the Caiyi and Wudang sects. Arrows, throwing knives, and other weapons were taken into use.
On the Caiyi sect side, another person caught many people’s attention!
Xiao Yao pulled out a golden-feathered bow with one hand. She looked like a fairy from the Jade Pool, with delicate golden wings. She nocked three arrows, easily bending the bowstring into a full moon shape. With a faint explosion in the air, the three arrows shot out like meteors chasing the moon, trailing brilliant white light, leaving behind muffled groans from those in the passage.
Although it was still a lower-tier bow technique, with the power of the Yellow Dragon Bow, its lethality was comparable to that of ordinary higher-tier martial arts. It even managed to kill one of the throwing knife ninjas in the passage.
“……”
The members of the Feihu Men stared at Xiao Yao’s graceful appearance and the Yellow Dragon Bow in her hands, pondering something:
“The Yellow Dragon Bow—a mid-tier masterpiece. Its market price seems to be over two million……”

“And that fat guy too—his weapon is pretty impressive. He managed to withstand so many flying knives without getting hurt. If we could take him down, we’d be rich!” a few people whispered among themselves.
“But the Colorful Robes Sect isn’t easy to deal with.”
“Hmm. They’re just a group of students, so how do they have so many valuable things? Even large guilds might not have such a strong foundation.”
“Tch. Maybe they’re rich but squander their money.”
“Don’t worry about that. Keep an eye on them. Once we open a path and get inside, we’ll definitely have a chance. Then, huh…” A clear murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
Unnoticed by them, in a small corner not far away, the young man in blue, belonging to one of the seven major sects, twitched his ears slightly. Pretending to be casual, he glanced over and silently memorized the faces of those from the Flying Tiger Sect.
The hall!
The exchange of attacks continued. Although the three major sects were smaller in number, they had the advantage of location and managed to suppress the firepower of the group of flying knife ninjas in the passage. After losing several members, the ninjas were forced to retreat further inward.
This time, the members of the three major sects didn’t pursue them. Instead, they stayed in their positions or sat down in meditation to restore their depleted internal energy and heal their wounds.
“They’re coming again!” “Everyone, be careful!!”
Seeing that the members of the seven major sects weren’t chasing after them, the dwindling number of flying knife ninjas pressed forward again after a short pause. The flying knives flew into the hall with a whooshing sound.
But this time, the number of knives was significantly reduced, making everyone feel much more at ease.
The members of the seven major sects attacked simultaneously. A barrage of swift shots added seven or eight more corpses to the passage. The last two finally couldn’t withstand the pressure and fled.
The passage was finally cleared!!
