Ye Tianchen, with no other option, refined the "Holy Heaven Prison." Under such circumstances, already injured, it was impossible for Ye Tianchen to unleash the full power of the Holy Heaven Prison. Additionally, the four Northern State Elders and the fifth Northern State Elder were the two strongest old men, meticulous and ruthless. Ye Tianchen protected himself and Princess Zi Xuan with the Chaos Qi, making a quick escape. However, from start to finish, they were closely pursued by the four Northern State Elders and the fifth Northern State Elder, and the life-or-death crisis had yet to be averted!

The four Northern State Elders initially wanted to approach the "Holy Heaven Prison" for a close combat kill against Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan. But just as they were about to charge forward, the fifth Northern State Elder stopped them. According to the fifth Northern State Elder’s analysis, the power of Chaos Qi that Ye Tianchen could currently manipulate was very limited, and given his injuries, the distance he could attack with Chaos Qi was also limited. Otherwise, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t wait for the first, second, and third Northern State Elders to come close before activating the Chaos Qi for a one-hit kill!

Therefore, based on the fifth Northern State Elder’s analysis, if they were to severely injure or kill Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan under the protection of the Chaos Qi, they could not attack closely. Because if they did, the power of Chaos Qi might be something they also couldn’t withstand. The only option was to adopt a long-range attack strategy, making it possible to kill them!

However, just as the four Northern State Elders launched their punch force towards Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, their Power of Slaughter had not yet reached the front of the Holy Heaven Prison before being shattered by the Chaos Qi. This immediately made the four Northern State Elders feel dissatisfied because they thought the fifth Northern State Elder might have been misleading them!

"Even long-range attacks aren’t effective; what are we supposed to just keep chasing them without taking action? What’s the point of that?" The four Northern State Elders asked the fifth Northern State Elder with dissatisfaction.

The fifth Northern State Elder smiled calmly, saying, "Your previous attack wasn’t ineffective. At the very least, it made me realize which Treasure could deal with this Chaos Qi!"

"What... could there be a Treasure that can shatter this Chaos Qi?" The four Northern State Elders asked in surprise.

"There is none; Chaos Qi is unbreakable. It is difficult to find a Treasure in the world that can shatter it. What I’m talking about is how to penetrate the Chaos Qi!" The fifth Northern State Elder said with a sinister smile.

"Penetrate the Chaos Qi?" The four Northern State Elders asked, frowning with more confusion.

The fifth Northern State Elder didn’t speak, instead flying forward quickly. When he flew to less than a league from Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, he slowed his pace, pointed to the Chaos Qi hanging down from the Holy Heaven Prison, and said, "Look closely. Although these two are using Chaos Qi to protect themselves, the Chaos Qi hasn’t completely shielded them. It’s hanging like ribbons, and there are gaps within it..."

"You mean, penetrate those gaps with the attack and hit those two fleeing, right?" The four Northern State Elders asked, seemingly understanding.

"Exactly!" The fifth Northern State Elder said with a confident smile.

"That’s a good idea, but the Chaos Qi is unbreakable. Even if it hangs down like ribbons, there are still gaps, but penetrating those gaps with an attack to kill them isn’t easy. Ordinary finger strengths can’t achieve that!" The four Northern State Elders asked in doubt.

"Finger strength certainly won’t work. No matter how powerful it is, it can’t be more resilient than Chaos Qi. I’m not talking about finger strength but the power of Treasures!" The fifth Northern State Elder said calmly with a smile.

"The power of Treasures? Ordinary Treasures usually attack with widespread Power of Slaughter; what kind of Treasure can penetrate such tiny gaps and kill these two?" The four Northern State Elders asked, still not understanding.

At this moment, the fifth Northern State Elder smiled with great confidence and didn’t answer the four Northern State Elders. Instead, he waved his left hand, revealing a bow, and with his right hand, revealed an arrow. When the bow and arrow appeared, the four Northern State Elders were startled, with eyes of admiration and realization, looking at the fifth Northern State Elder and saying, "So you had come up with this trick a long time ago; this bow and arrow are one of the strongest Treasures of your heritage!"

"Yes, this is the Saint Bow and the Murder Arrow!" The fifth Northern State Elder said with confidence and force.

Saint Bow!

Murder Arrow!

Legend has it that in Ancient Times, there were no figures born in the Emperor Realm. Anyone who reached the Saint Realm in Martial Arts then became the strongest in this Martial Arts World; Saints were respected. It was an era without the birth of a true Supreme Strong. Yet, the powerful in the Saint Realm were indeed formidable, and no heritage dared to underestimate a Saint!

At that moment, a Saint appeared in the world—a fiercely murderous Saint. He refined a bow and thousands of arrows, and wielded them through the heavens and earth. Whenever he encountered a powerful figure, he would draw the bow and shoot, annihilating them. In his own words, he had reached the bottleneck in Martial Arts and was uncertain how to break through, needing to kill to move beyond this impasse. In reality, he was just a Demon using force to indiscriminately slaughter the innocent!

Until later, when this Saint passed away, the bow and arrows he refined were passed down, although stained with too much blood and lonely souls, they were preserved by the lineage of the Fifth Elder of the Northern State!

The Fifth Elder of the Northern State has now refined the Saint Bow, Murder Arrow, naturally intending for Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan to die under this set of bow and arrows. At this moment, he draws the bow and shoots, and the arrow light, filled with powerful killing intent, bursts out, shooting directly at Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan!

Boom!

This arrow was shattered by the Chaos Qi stirred up by the Holy Heaven Prison. However, Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, frowned, and said, "What a powerful force, probably equivalent to a Saint’s strike. Unexpectedly, these two old guys have such Saint Treasures!"

"Even if it’s a Saint Treasure, it shouldn’t be able to shatter this Chaos Qi, right?" Princess Zi Xuan thought for a moment and said.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Princess Zi Xuan and then at the Holy Heaven Prison hanging above, shook his head and said, "It’s different. If I were not injured, with enough Martial Arts True Qi in my body, manipulating the Chaos Qi within the Holy Heaven Prison to protect us tightly would be no problem. But now, being able to use the Holy Heaven Prison to let down Chaos Qi to protect us is already my best effort, yet it’s still somewhat beyond my strength. That’s why the Chaos Qi hasn’t enveloped us tightly, because I’m injured and unable to fully manipulate the Chaos Qi!"

"You mean..." Princess Zi Xuan said, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it seems the Fifth Elder of the Northern State saw through this, which is why he used such a long-range precise attack Treasure, trying to penetrate the gaps through which the Chaos Qi descends, and kill us!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

"I think it should be alright; that arrow just now didn’t hurt us!" Princess Zi Xuan believed in Ye Tianchen and said.

"No, that arrow should have been a test. These North State Four Elder and Fifth Elder are not only the strongest among the Northern State Five Elders but also very meticulous and ruthless in their thoughts. They analyzed our current weaknesses quickly, truly not simple!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.

"What should we do now? Should I hold off these two old guys while you leave first?" Princess Zi Xuan spoke, intending to stand up and protect Ye Tianchen’s retreat!

"It’s useless; in this situation, as long as we leave the protection of the Holy Heaven Prison, we’ll die!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

Whoosh!

An arrow light, like a meteor, shot towards Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan, and as it reached them, it penetrated through the gap in the Chaos Qi. The Fifth Elder of the Northern State sneered confidently and said, "Even with the protection of Chaos Qi, you’ll be killed here. Although this child has considerable talent and alarming potential, he’s still a bit too green!"

"Did you kill them?" The Fourth Elder of the Northern State couldn’t help but ask.

"They should be dead already. My arrow just penetrated the gap in the Chaos Qi, and both of them hide behind the Chaos Qi. They wouldn’t have expected my arrow to go through the gap and deliver a surprise strike, ensuring their certain death!" The Fifth Elder of the Northern State said rather confidently.

Whoosh!

Who would have thought, just when the Fifth Elder of the Northern State was quite sure, the Holy Heaven Prison accelerated in speed, quickly escaping forward, causing the Fifth Elder of the Northern State to frown fiercely and follow swiftly by Qi Manipulation Flight, and the Fourth Elder also rushed over, as it seemed the Fifth Elder’s unexpected arrow truly hadn’t killed Ye Tianchen and Princess Zi Xuan!

"Are you... are you okay?" Princess Zi Xuan saw the wound on Ye Tianchen’s left shoulder and couldn’t help but ask hastily.

"I’m fine; that arrow was truly perilous. The power of the Saint Bow, Murder Arrow is indeed considerable; it penetrated the gap in the Chaos Qi. If we couldn’t block it, we’d be in real danger!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.
