Chapter 204 Zhou Ping's Awkward Moment
Lei watched as Da Yi shot an arrow, and without pausing, shot a second arrow, before putting away his bow and arrows.
Lei Yingdian couldn't help but feel doubtful and asked, "Is shooting only two arrows enough? Wouldn't that seem too... merciful?"
Raiden was not a bloodthirsty person, but she had experienced the brutal war of the Kanriyar invasion of Teyvat five hundred years ago—Raiden was the one who actually died in that war.
In the face of war, to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.
In the brutality of war, anyone can perish, including one's closest loved ones. Never rely on the enemy's mercy, and never show mercy to the enemy!
Upon hearing Lei Yingdong's words, Da Yi hesitated slightly before explaining, "The Heavenly Venerable only instructed me to teach this outer god a lesson, to make him understand that Great Xia is not a place where one can come and go as one pleases. He did not say that he was to take his life."
Besides, with just these few arrows, I couldn't possibly kill a god outright; after all, they wouldn't just stand there and let me shoot them. Furthermore, "once, twice, then less, then exhausted," meaning even continuous arrow fire wouldn't be enough to keep him alive.
After listening to Da Yi's words, Lei Yingdian nodded in agreement: "That's true."
“Most importantly, most of our Great Xia gods have not yet awakened, so it is not advisable to completely break ties with the outer gods at this stage,” Da Yi further explained.
"But the other side has clearly forgotten that Great Xia has gods, otherwise how could they so brazenly invade Great Xia's territory?" Lei Yingdian reminded him.
"The death of one Indra is not enough to awaken them. It is time to let the Outer Gods know... the Great Xia Gods—have returned!"
Although Da Yi had this intention, he was still somewhat hesitant, after all, this matter concerned the century-long plan of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was not something he could decide on his own.
Da Yi looked up at the void, as if seeking someone's opinion.
In the distant, unknown place, a Taoist priest nodded slightly, a gesture so subtle it was almost imperceptible.
After receiving approval, Da Yi slowly said, "Alright! Since I awoke, I haven't had a proper fight yet. This is a good opportunity to stretch my muscles with this outer god!"
At this moment, Poseidon in the Great Xia Sea had barely managed to block the golden arrow that shot from the void, but his trident was knocked away by the sudden arrow.
Before he could catch his breath, a second arrow was already hurtling towards him!
Having just taken a hit from an arrow, Poseidon was now unarmed and dared not linger. He instantly dodged and fled in the direction away from the Great Xia.
But the arrow seemed to have eyes, relentlessly pursuing him.
Poseidon dared not relax for a moment longer and hurriedly plunged into the sea, attempting to use the immense pressure of the water to stop the arrow. But the arrow easily parted the thick seawater, its speed far exceeding that of the fleeing Poseidon!
Poseidon was quickly overtaken by the arrows. He desperately tried to adjust his body to avoid the arrowheads, but it was too late.
The arrow pierced his entire body, entering through his foot and exiting from his shoulder!
Poseidon screamed, his blood instantly staining the surrounding seawater crimson. He was filled with terror and rage, but had no time to spare; he could only frantically channel his divine power to heal his wounds. Turning his head, he saw no third arrow approaching and immediately understood the situation.
“Great Xia…” Poseidon gritted his teeth, his expression grim and uncertain, “I will remember this grudge!”
He then endured the excruciating pain and continued his desperate escape.
Just then, Lei Yingdian and Da Yi arrived and witnessed the scene.
Seeing this, Lei Yingdong crossed his arms and said, "Looks like he's quite tenacious."
Da Yi said calmly, "It's just a death throes." Now that they had decided to take action, they naturally wouldn't let this guy escape easily.
Lei Yingdong nodded: "That's true, the other party is just an ordinary god... then I'll leave it to you, it's not convenient for me to take action." Within the Great Xia territory, Lei Yingdong had to suppress his own cultivation level as much as possible when he took action to avoid excessive release of his aura.
At this moment, Poseidon was about to escape into the mist, so Lei Movie was even less likely to make a move rashly, lest the other party remember his presence.
After all, it's not just these few gods who have already appeared who are paying attention to this Great Xia God War.
Just from watching Lei's movies, I noticed a lot of prying eyes, not to mention the existence of beings with strength comparable to Yuanshi Tianzun.
Da Yi nodded: "He's just an ordinary outer god. I severely injured him with two arrows. How can I let him leave?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Yi went straight after Poseidon.
Lei Film, on the other hand, turned his attention to a man curled up on the coast of Daxia.
This man was Zhou Ping.
After confirming that Poseidon had left, Zhou Ping slowly squatted down, hugged his knees, stared at the beach beneath his feet, and murmured to himself, "Finally, I can go home."
Lei Yingdian's figure suddenly appeared beside him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the man in front of him.
After all, Zhou Ping at this moment was completely different from the sword god Zhou Ping who had fiercely fought against Poseidon before.
“I never expected that ‘One Sword’, one of the five human ceilings of the Great Xia, would have such a side.” Lei Yingdian’s voice rang out beside Zhou Ping.
"who!?"
