Chapter 1233: 642: Wrath of the Evil God, Skin of the Forgotten Achieves Great Merit
“What on earth is this thing?”
This was Zong Shen’s first thought after seeing the purple light spot.
Immediately, he sensed something was wrong.
At this critical moment, anything launched from the ground is not a good thing!
And this purple light spot was extremely fast!
It only left him with an instant to react!
Fortunately, Xiaoheizi responded much faster than he did.
Almost as soon as the purple light spot appeared, it took the initiative to abruptly ascend.
All pure-blooded Giant Dragons proficient in Dragon Language possess strong Spiritual Power.
They can sense the surrounding danger.
This is a kind of instinct similar to a sixth sense.
Not only Giant Dragons, but also those seasoned warriors, rangers, and mages can acquire some extraordinary combat instincts through repeated battles.
In Zong Shen’s territory, the one with super strong combat instincts was Blood Wolf Gujate!
As for Zong Shen himself, he could occasionally sense danger!
Xiaoheizi urgently changed direction, and after gaining altitude, the purple light spot still followed, and it was much faster than Xiaoheizi, becoming more and more distinct in his vision.
No matter how Xiaoheizi temporarily adjusted direction, it could only delay for a short time.
Even as Xiaoheizi changed angles and directions multiple times, the purple light spot relentlessly kept pace.
As the distance closed, Zong Shen finally saw clearly what the suddenly flying object actually was—it turned out to be a bizarre Giant Crossbow Arrow!
“Is this the hidden measure prepared by the goblins?”
His heart felt a bit fearful.
But as long as he had even a slight bit of time to react, Zong Shen had countermeasures to respond!
Zong Shen first took out the [Time Stop Treasure Pearl (Golden)].
With a firm grip, he activated the time stop state.
Invisible chronological ripples surged forward and spread in all directions.
Everything it passed instantly came to a halt.
Theoretically, only Zong Shen and the Xiaoheizi he was riding wouldn’t be affected by the time stop.
This [Time Stop Treasure Pearl (Golden)] has always been one of Zong Shen’s trump cards.
It holds a fragment of the underlying world’s Time Rule.
Therefore, it can freeze time within a limited range.
Including when subduing Xiaoheizi, it once played a crucial role.
In the time-stop state, that strange purple crossbow arrow also slowly froze in mid-air.
When Zong Shen prepared to have Xiaoheizi turn back to counter and capture it, he noticed that the crossbow arrow was actually trembling slightly within the time stop.
It seemed to be breaking the shackles of the time stop!
Such a situation could only mean one thing: the quality of this bizarre crossbow arrow had reached Epic Level and possibly even higher grade.
Hence, it could break through the time stop effect of the [Time Stop Treasure Pearl (Golden)]!
After vibrating for two or three seconds, the bizarre crossbow arrow indeed broke free from the time stop’s constraints, rushing towards the sky again, heading straight for Zong Shen’s head.
Zong Shen gritted his teeth, retrieved the [Time Stop Treasure Pearl (Golden)], and with a reverse hand, stacked the remaining two effects of the [Radiant Guardian] scroll for release.
Two layers of Radiant Shields enveloped Xiaoheizi and Zong Shen.
Furthermore, he summoned all the Evil’s Filth to stand in front of him.
This wasn’t all; he activated the [Dragon Taming Saddle (Orange)]’s effect [Dragon Tamer’s Shield], adding yet another layer of a spherical shield to the exterior of Xiaoheizi.
This Magic Shield has 12,000 points of Durability Value and 95 points of Double Resistance!
For the time being, it was unclear whether the target of that crossbow arrow was Xiaoheizi or himself.
In any case, since there was no way to evade, it was naturally better to deploy as many defenses as possible!
“Roar!”
Xiaoheizi once more surged skyward, letting out an urgent roar.
The crossbow arrow below gave it immense pressure!
However, at a speed that left afterimages, escape was futile.
In just one or two short seconds, the bizarre crossbow arrow caught up with Xiaoheizi.
Zong Shen turned around, staring intently at it.
From the direction, it should have hit Xiaoheizi’s hind legs.
But that eerie crossbow arrow suddenly veered, shooting towards the back of Zong Shen’s head.
“Damn it! Such a big dragon and it doesn’t shoot, but insists on shooting me!”
He cursed aloud, moving the [Evil’s Filth] to shield behind him.
Seeing the bizarre crossbow arrow touch the outer [Dragon Tamer’s Shield], the purple Evil Energy instantly clashed with and extinguished the white Magic Shield.
It was like a meteor re-entering the atmosphere from outer space, constantly rubbing and compressing, bursting into brilliant orange-red flames.
At the same time, the [Dragon Tamer’s Shield], with its high Durability Value of 12,000 points, was rapidly wearing away.
At least this shield didn’t shatter upon a single touch.
But the bizarre crossbow arrow showed no signs of stopping, seemingly determined to fight to the death.
During the stalemate, Zong Shen also saw the full appearance and attributes of the bizarre crossbow arrow!
[Wrath of the Evil God (Golden)]
[Quality: Epic Level]
[Effect: Piercing Damage +1200]

[Durability: 1]
[Each crossbow arrow can only be fired once]
(A special crossbow arrow acquired by sacrificing large amounts of flesh and blood to the Evil God, needing the [Evil Giant Crossbow] for launching, prepared as a big weapon by the King of Goblins…)
The information had not yet fully displayed before Zong Shen proactively dispelled it with his Intention.
