Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 54 - : Clashing Head-On with the Moon-Slaying Bow

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Clashing Head-On with the Moon-Slaying Bow

Shi Hao never instigated trouble, but if someone provoked him, his retaliation would surge like a tsunami—leaving a trail of corpses scattered everywhere.

He had already issued a death declaration, this was his final warning. Anyone who still wished to engage in battle would be met with merciless killing, without pardon.

The dragon has its reverse scales, which must not be touched!

Right now, Shi Hao’s killing intent was boiling.

With a saber in hand, he walked with great strides—as if he were the Asura God of Killing.

Intimidated by his aura, everyone dared not move.

But obviously, this could only deter them for a moment. How arrogant and domineering were the people from the Murong Family?

They were the top elite family in the city—apart from the Chu Family, they were kings, they were tyrants. And now, they were being bullied at their doorstep by a youngster, how could they swallow such an affront?

Immediately, five men stepped forward.

“Don’t be rash!” someone immediately advised. They knew that Shi Hao was a high-level martial master and very likely had reached the peak. They were no match for him, and going forward was tantamount to courting death.

Three heeded the advice and stepped back, but two still believed that Shi Hao, being so young, couldn’t be that strong and didn’t stop their advance.

“Die!” Both men drew their swords and slashed and chopped towards Shi Hao.

Whoosh, Shi Hao swung his saber and knocked their weapons away, continuing the cut across the heads and necks of the two men. Blood spurted skyward like fountains—their heads now severed.

This!

So ruthless, he struck to decapitate, to take lives.

For a moment, the Murong Family members were furious, glaring at Shi Hao with rage.

Shi Hao continued to move forward, not hindered in the slightest by the previous two men.

His advance forced the Murong Family members to retreat because confronting him meant becoming enemies with Shi Hao, and he had just demonstrated with bloody corpses that this was a one-way road to death.

This unbearable suppression was felt deeply by the Murong Family.

Who were they?

The top family in the County Town, now being attacked on their own threshold by a youngster, forced to concede ground at every turn—how could they bear this?

Those with a fierce spirit couldn’t tolerate this humiliation and, pulling out their weapons, rushed forward, only to end up sending themselves to their deaths.

After witnessing five deaths, the people from the Murong Family finally realized that this was a fearsome Asura.

“Audacious!” A stern rebuke rang out, and a middle-aged man emerged from the residence, followed by a troop from the City Guard Army.

Commander of the City Guard Squad, Zhang Si.

“Shi Hao, you truly are insolent and arrogant!” Zhang Si spoke coldly, “Just a few days ago, you beat up the heads of ten major families in public, and today, you come to the Murong Residence to wreak havoc. Do you really think, with someone backing you, you can do whatever you please?”

How could he appear here?

Shi Hao quickly understood—it was a trap set for him.

The fat man was captured, and Shi Hao would surely come to the Murong Residence to demand his release. Given his character, he would inevitably choose a forceful approach, so the Murong Family invited Lu Si over to employ the City Guard Army against Shi Hao.

Now, they could catch Shi Hao in the act of committing violence—the corpses of the Murong Family on the ground were proof enough.

Therefore, even if the City Guard Army were to shoot Shi Hao dead on the spot, it would be justifiable, and even Chu Fei would find it hard to blame them.

Who was to blame for Shi Hao being too arrogant, too overbearing?

The Murong Family knew of Shi Hao’s formidable strength, that he might even have reached the peak of high-level martial mastery. Even with two high-level martial masters in their family, the outcome of a fight was uncertain.

So, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have the City Guard Army eliminate Shi Hao?

Inviting Lu Si over was even more targeted. He had a history with Shi Hao but was suppressed by Chu Fei at the time. Now, seeing Shi Hao again would certainly reignite his anger, and it also provided ample justification for him to strike a lethal blow.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but show a smile, saying, “You are a foolish man.”

Lu Si was seething with rage. At such a time, you still dare to speak so brazenly?

Where does your confidence come from? Who gave you the courage?

“Nock your arrows!” he said coldly, as twenty archers from behind him simultaneously drew their bows and took aim at Shi Hao.

The Moon-Slaying Bow, capable of killing a high-level martial master.

This required a force of over five thousand jin to draw the bow, bursting with incredible power, speed, and penetrative force, far surpassing the Cloud-Piercing Crossbow. Therefore, merely relying on the strength of the springs was insufficient to launch it, and at least a mid-level martial disciple was required to use it.

“Kneel down!” Lu Si demanded with an unbelievably arrogant demeanor.

Now, he had full control of the situation, so he could afford to play with Shi Hao like a cat with a mouse, tossing him around at will.

However, he would certainly not make the amateur mistake of actually letting Shi Hao off with his life in the end.

No way.

Once he had had his fun, he would kill Shi Hao on the spot, removing the threat permanently.

Otherwise, to have a senior martial master bearing a grudge against him was definitely not something he could rest easy about.

The Murong Family members also revealed smirks. How could Shi Hao be stubborn now?

Resisting would only lead to a dead end.

Thus, he could only bend his knees and beg for mercy.

“Daring to create trouble at the Murong Residence, truly the audacity of a dog!”

“Death is too good for him!”

“Feed his corpse to the dogs!”

The crowd said one after another, now completely uninhibited.

However, to their shock, Shi Hao was still striding forward.

What!

Do you really have a death wish?

Lu Si’s face turned even uglier.

He said to kneel, yet Shi Hao was still walking. Wasn’t this a slap to his face?

Damn it! Damn it!

“Shoot to kill!” he said through gritted teeth, disappointed not to see Shi Hao kneeling and begging for mercy, but now he was more eager to kill this madman.

The City Guard Army was highly disciplined and orders were strictly followed.

So, when Lu Si gave the command, whoosh whoosh whoosh, twenty Moon-Slaying Bows simultaneously launched their deadly arrows with incredible speed flying towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao didn’t dare to be careless; the Moon-Slaying Bow’s infamous reputation and tremendous power were not to be underestimated.

He caught the trajectory of the arrows, his pupils shrinking slightly. In an instant, the motion of the arrows slowed down and clearly reflected in his eyes.

That’s all they’ve got.

The corners of Shi Hao’s mouth curved up slightly in a smile. Such speed indeed would make it quite difficult for a senior martial master to catch, but his strength had already stepped into the realm of a mid-level Martial Sect member.

Not a big deal.

He swung his sword to slash. Whoosh, a streak of cold light swept across, drawing an arch of overwhelming dominance.

Cling cling cling cling, the jangling sounds were continuous; Shi Hao deflected most of the arrows with his long sword, while the few that managed to slip through missed their mark, flying past him.

Wha – What!

Everyone was flabbergasted. Was this real?

That was the Moon-Slaying Bow, a weapon that could threaten a senior martial master on its own, and now twenty bows firing simultaneously were neutralized by Shi Hao.

What kind of monster was this?

To say that Shi Hao was a blind cat that stumbled upon a dead mouse, swinging his sword blindly and just happened to get it right, then why were the arrows not deflected all off target?

This clearly indicated that Shi Hao’s sword strike was highly targeted.

— He would only draw his sword to block those that might hit him; the ones that had lost their mark, he simply let pass.

Heavens!

Is this even human?

Can a teenager really possess such strength?
