Chapter 3970 A Deal

"Zen, what's wrong with your body?"

Yasamin was the first one to notice the changes in Zen's body. It was weird and kind of creepy too.

The lifespan of powerful masters like Yasamin and Eastern Emperor Taiyi was limitless. As long as they weren't defeated by some extremely powerful entity, they were essentially immortal.

With such impossible ages, they could change their appearance too. Yasamin had made herself look like an old person, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi always appeared as a middle-aged man. They had chosen these appearances just to be in charge of the Oneness Sky Palace.

The strange changes in Zen's body were occurring obviously because of those Jade Bone Arrows.

"The bone arrows are taking his life... They are sucking his existence from within him!" The Snake Goddess frowned.

Zen's life energy was being crazily devoured, and his speed, strength, reaction capacity and so many other factors were all being reduced significantly.

Whoosh!

Four Jade Bone Arrows found a gap between Zen's hands and shot straight towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi sat down cross-legged in a flash and gently pointed with his finger. His sword immediately spiraled over and slashed at the Jade Bone Arrows.

Crack!

The arrows were instantly slashed into two and fell down. However, the Feather Ghosts attached to them were not defeated. They dashed towards Eastern Emperor Taiyi and there was no way to dodge them.

Before Eastern Emperor Taiyi had time to react, the Feather Ghosts bit him and disappeared. Immediately, Eastern Emperor Taiyi turned from a middle-aged man into a very old man with white hair and ragged breathing. From his condition, it seemed that he would be dead very soon.

"Impossible!"

"I didn't know the Jade Bone Arrows were so powerful. How's Zen doing that?"

"He's been hit by so many arrows and yet he lives..."

Seeing that Zen had withstood about three hundred arrows till now, Fuxi, the Snake Goddess, and the others had come to the conclusion that although the Jade Bone Arrows were quite powerful, they were still not as terrifying as they had heard of them to be.

Unexpectedly, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was already at his last gasp after being hit by just four arrows! And Zen was still fighting.

Just how strong was the life energy of the latter?

"Zen... Let's leave the Other Shore first! Squeak!" King Leuan said anxiously.

"There are too many bone arrows here. I'm afraid they will kill us all," the Snake Goddess also reminded him.

Previously, they had all insisted on not retreating from the Other Shore because they had already been marked. Even if they left the Other Shore and hid somewhere temporarily, they would still be at the risk of being pulled back. As long as the enemy was waiting for them, retreating from the Other Shore was much more dangerous

already caught the targets and can obtain the bounty, right?"

"It is none of your business," the leader of the Arrow Demons replied coldly.

Dozens of Jade Bone Arrows were still circling around in the sky, and below them was a thorny cage made of the Heavenly Eye Vine. The Arrow Demons were totally sure that they could catch Zen and his companions this time.

"But you still have one last step left." The man of the Gear race made a gesture of grabbing something in the air. "They are outside the Other Shore. We'll bring them back. In return, all we want is one third of the Bone Fragments Secret Soul."

The leader of the Arrow Demons was not happy at all with this bargain. He replied in a cold voice, "Do you think only members of your Gear race can do this task? That's too much to ask!"

The member of the Gear race chuckled and replied, "You can ask help from the members of the Sickle race as well, but Zen is definitely not an ordinary Eternal Realm warrior. His physical body is astonishingly strong. Even some of the most powerful warriors of our Gear race won't be able to hold on for a single round during a fight with him, and his life energy is too much to drain, which means his recovery speed is also astonishing. It won't be long before he regains his life energy. Do you have the confidence to deal with him on your own?"

The leader of the Arrow Demons fell silent at this question.

He had spent so many Jade Bone Arrows already and had forced Zen to reach his limit, like a spent arrow. If what the member of the Gear race was saying was true, it would be a pity if he were to be stingy now.

"One fifth," said the leader of the Arrow Demons firmly.

"One-fourth," replied the member of the Gear race.

"Alright! Deal!"

As soon as the leader of the Arrow Demons finished speaking, the thorny vines that had formed the prison rolled around and created a path.
