The people of the primordial era ruled the heavens and earth.

With three loud bangs, the surviving members of the human-shaman tribe saw three of the blazing suns fall from the sky.

This made them cheer. But the next second, their voices suddenly stopped, and they looked worried.

However, the remaining six Golden Crow Princes, seeing that three more of their brothers had been injured by Kuafu, were filled with inexplicable rage and surrounded Kuafu.

Kuafu was not surprised but delighted, and swung his peach wood staff, giving the six Golden Crow Princes a sound beating.

However, to their surprise, the six Golden Crow Princes all evaded them, transforming into rainbows.

Kuafu was furious: "You scruffy bird, how dare you hide!"

"Let's see how long you can keep hiding."

As he spoke, Kuafu kept swinging his peachwood staff, attacking the Golden Crow Princes.

The six Golden Crow Princes had by now lost their initial panic.

Originally, they only wanted to buy time for their three brothers, who had been injured by Kuafu, to escape.

But after dodging Kuafu's attacks one by one, they discovered that Kuafu was nothing special.

A thought of revenge arose in his mind, and he kept circling around Kuafu, occasionally hurling a few provocative remarks.

"Kuafu, you're no good!"

"Kuafu, didn't you want to avenge your people?"

"What's wrong? We brothers are standing right here for you to hit, and you still can't hit us."

...

Word after word, like knives and awls, pierced Kuafu's heart, making him furious.

Ignoring the fact that his stamina was rapidly depleting, he relentlessly pursued and attacked the Golden Crow Prince.

However, it was of no use.

Kuafu's speed was too slow; he couldn't even touch the Golden Crow Prince.

Occasionally, a few golden feathers would be knocked down as the birds grazed the edge of the path; this was all done intentionally by the Golden Crow Princes.

Kuafu was completely unaware that he had fallen into a death trap set for him by the Golden Crow Princes.

But as time passed, under the illumination of the Golden Crow Princes, Kuafu felt incredibly thirsty, and the peach wood staff in his hand became heavy.

Suddenly, without realizing it, the speed at which he swung the peach wood staff slowed down a bit.

This brought a smile to the faces of the Golden Crow Princes.

"Brothers, give it your all! Kuafu is dying. Avenging our elder brother is just around the corner!" shouted the Second Prince of the Golden Crow.

"Hmph!" Kuafu sneered, "You scruffy birds are far from being able to take my life."

Having said that, Kuafu, disregarding his exhaustion, gritted his teeth and persevered, increasing his speed as he attacked the Golden Crow Princes.

But this didn't help; instead, it exacerbated his fatigue.

Kuafu was a great shaman of the wood element, which was inherently countered by fire, not to mention the supremely strong and domineering true fire of the sun.

When he was in his prime, he could ignore these things, but now that his strength was waning, he felt increasingly thirsty.

But he didn't even have a chance to stop and drink water.

Before we knew it, the roles of offense and defense had been reversed.

Seeing that Kuafu was panting heavily, both his movements and attacks slowed down.

The Second Prince of Jinwu's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Brothers, let's attack together! Kuafu is done for!"

"Now is the time to avenge our elder brother."

After saying this, the Second Prince of the Golden Crow charged towards Kuafu and blinded him with a single claw strike.

Kuafu cried out in pain, ignoring his injuries, and quickly swung his peach wood staff to retaliate.

However, at this point, he was already at his last gasp.

Unable to mount a proper counterattack, he was quickly torn apart and wounded by the Golden Crow Princes, collapsing to the ground and never getting up again.

This scene was witnessed by Hou Yi, who had just finished a meeting at the Ancestral Witch Temple and had been chasing after them all the way there.

"No, Kuafu!"

Hou Yi roared, his eyes turning blood red, and rushed towards Kuafu at top speed, leaving a white sonic wave behind him.

Upon seeing Hou Yi's attack, the Golden Crow princes were startled and hurriedly flew into the sky.

They knew very well that Hou Yi's strength was far inferior to Kuafu's.

Moreover, he excels at archery, unlike Kuafu who only knows close combat.

Hou Yi and Kua Fu ruled the human-shaman tribe together for tens of thousands of years, and their relationship was extremely deep.

Upon meeting Kuafu, they were killed by the Golden Crow Princes, and only one in ten of the human-shaman tribe survived.

Hou Yi was filled with rage. He couldn't care less about killing the Golden Crow Prince, which could potentially trigger a great war.

He took down the divine bow from his back, took three arrows from his back, and shot them at the Golden Crow Princes.

Three loud bangs rang out in succession.

The Golden Crow princes had no chance to resist Hou Yi's divine arrows and were shot to pieces in mid-air.

"No, second brother, fifth brother, sixth brother."

The Golden Crow Princes cried out in pain, filled with deep regret.

They never expected Hou Yi to be so powerful.

But at this moment, they had no time to grieve for their brother's death. Hou Yi drew his bow again and shot three more arrows, taking the lives of the three Golden Crow Princes.

Of the ten Golden Crow Princes, only the three who had been injured by Kuafu earlier are still alive.

Seeing that Hou Yi had taken out three more arrows, the Third Prince of Jinwu knew that if he and his two brothers continued to fly away separately, they would probably still not escape death.

So he shouted, "Little Ten, you're the least injured. Quickly transform into a rainbow and escape to the Heavenly Court."

"I'll take the remaining three arrows for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Third Prince of the Golden Crow resolutely turned around and charged towards the three arrows shot by Hou Yi.

With a deafening roar, the Third Prince of the Golden Crow chose to self-destruct, hoping to block Hou Yi's three arrows and save his two younger brothers' lives.

But what he didn't expect was that, with Qin Tian's guidance, Hou Yi's arrows contained mental energy and were incredibly sturdy.

He had only accomplished half his goal; though only the shafts of the three arrows remained, they still charged toward the tenth and eighth princes of the Golden Crow.

Feeling the power in the arrow shaft, the Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow resolutely chose to turn back, making the same decision as the Third Prince of the Golden Crow.

"Xiao Shi, hurry up and don't look back."

With a loud bang, the three arrow shafts were taken away by the self-destruction of the Eighth Prince of the Golden Crow.

Hou Yi was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that the Golden Crow princes would be so loyal to their brothers.

Upon seeing Kuafu's corpse on the ground, a resolute look instantly appeared in his eyes, and he drew his bow and nocked an arrow once more.

The tenth prince of the Golden Crow suddenly felt a shadow of death loom over his heart.

But he dared not look back at all, and only burned his life essence to fly forward desperately.

It's almost here, almost here, the Heavenly Court is just around the corner.

Once I entered the Heavenly Court, I was safe.

Seeing the tenth prince of the Golden Crow flying forward with all his might, Hou Yi sneered and murmured silently, "No matter how fast you fly, what can you do? My arrow will surely hit its mark."

After saying this, Hou Yi didn't even glance at the sky again. He carried Kuafu's corpse on his back and prepared to leave.

But just then, a bell suddenly rang out, its sound resounding throughout the heavens and earth.

Hou Yi paused, looked up at the sky, and saw a majestic man in imperial robes, holding a giant black-yellow bell, standing proudly in the sky.
