Chapter 52
Target Shift! A barrage of needles locks onto the adorable child!
"Su Changqing! I know you're powerful! You can cleave the sky with a single chopstick and annihilate an underground river with a single stroke! You truly are a monster!"
Old Master Tang's voice, as mournful as an owl's, echoed across the chaotic battlefield.
"But! No matter how powerful you are, you are still made of flesh and blood! And your daughter is just a young child!"
"Today, I'll show you what it feels like to be pierced by a thousand arrows!"
"What does 'despair' mean?!"
With this desperate roar, Old Master Tang's withered hands suddenly emerged from his wide sleeves.
In his palm, he held a golden cylinder carved with exquisite pear blossom patterns!
The cylinder gleamed with a cold, dazzling light in the sunlight, like a weapon in the hands of death, exuding a suffocating aura of death!
A torrential downpour of pear blossom needles!
It ranks first in the Tang Clan's Hidden Weapon Ranking, and is known as the peerless weapon that "cannot be escaped even by gods and ghosts when it is unleashed with its twenty-seven needles!"
It is said that the Tang Clan's patriarch once used this item to shoot and kill three half-step Divine Travel experts who intended to besiege the Tang Clan in one night, thus establishing the Tang Clan's unshakeable position in the martial arts world!
And now, this long-forgotten treasure has reappeared!
"Oh no! It's a barrage of pear blossom needles!"
Upon hearing this name, Lei Wujie, who was locked in combat with the Dark River assassins, turned deathly pale and nearly dropped his sword.
Although he had never seen the actual weapon, the records of this hidden weapon in the Lei Family Fortress were written in bloody language!
Specifically designed to break through protective qi!
It's as fast as a streak of light!
Once launched, it's a fight to the death!
"Despicable! Shameless!"
When Li Hanyi saw this scene, her eyes widened in horror, and her beautiful eyes instantly became bloodshot.
She never imagined that the dignified patriarch of the Tang Clan, a pillar of the martial arts world, would be so despicable!
Not only did they launch a sneak attack, but they also targeted a child who was only three years old!
"You old scoundrel Tang! If you dare lay a finger on my daughter, I'll make your entire Tang Clan pay with their lives!!!"
Li Hanyi let out a fierce roar, and the sword intent within her body instantly went berserk. No longer caring about any defense, she was about to forcefully break through the encirclement of Su Muyu and Su Changhe to save her husband and daughter.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
Su Muyu snorted coldly, and the oil-paper umbrella in her hand suddenly spun around. The eighteen flying blades were like eighteen venomous snakes, tightly binding Li Hanyi's path.
Su Changhe was even more insidious. He did not confront Li Hanyi head-on, but instead harassed her with black energy. He did not seek to harm her, but only to delay Li Hanyi for even a moment!
In a battle between masters, a single moment can mean life or death!
"Hahaha! Li Hanyi! Just watch your precious darling turn into a hedgehog!"
Old Master Tang grinned maliciously and suddenly pulled the golden trigger.
"Snap!"
A crisp click of a mechanism seemed to toll the death knell of hell.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!!!"
In an instant, twenty-seven extremely dazzling silver lights burst forth from the golden cylinder!
That silver light was too fast!
So fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to see; all that could be seen were streaks of light cutting through the air, accompanied by sharp, piercing whistles!
Twenty-seven bone-piercing nails!
Each one has been tempered by generations of masters in the Tang Clan, making it extremely sharp and containing terrifying kinetic energy capable of piercing through metal and stone!
They were like a silver rainstorm, pouring down on Su Changqing and Xiao Nuomi without leaving any blind spots!
"No!!!"
Li Hanyi screamed in despair, tears streaming down her face.
She was too late!
It's really too late!
Even if she were a sword immortal, even if she risked her life, she could not cross the distance of dozens of feet in an instant and block this fatal blow!
The surrounding heroes and martial arts figures were also terrified.
Everyone thought that the man holding the child was really going to die this time.
Even if one were to travel through the realm of spiritual energy, one would not dare to take the torrent of pear blossom needles head-on!
Moreover, he was holding a child, so there was no way he could escape!
"It's over... Is a legend about to fall like this?"
Some people closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the bloody and gruesome scene.
however.
Despite being at the center of the storm, Su Changqing remained completely calm.
The little glutinous rice in his arms seemed to sense something, and curiously raised its head to look at the silver light flying all over the sky, asking in a childish voice:
"Daddy, was that a shooting star? It was so beautiful!"
"Yes, that was a shooting star."
Su Changqing gently stroked his daughter's hair, his eyes showing no fear, only endless calmness. "However, these shooting stars are a bit disobedient; they're trying to crash into us."
"What should we do? It will hurt!" Little Nuomi wrinkled her little nose.
"It's alright, Father will just give them a good scolding."
Su Changqing smiled.
then.
Faced with that overwhelming cold light, faced with that deadly hidden weapon that could make even gods tremble.
Su Changqing didn't even put down his daughter.
He simply and calmly extended his free right hand.
Spread your fingers out and face outwards.
The movements were as gentle as pushing open a door or rejecting a malicious hug.
"stop."
He uttered a single word softly.
