Seeing the Kui Ox treat him with such contempt, a glimmer of confidence and a smile gradually welled up in Hua Tianxiong's heart. Sensing the Kui Ox approaching to within 300 meters of the boulder, Hua Tianxiong suddenly stood up.

With his physical strength at the Peak Ninth-Rank Martial Warrior level, his power reached an astonishing 8,500 Newtons. Augmented by 80% of the power from the third stage of the Piercing Cloud Archery, the iron-tipped arrow—carrying nearly 15,000 Newtons of force—shot toward the Kui Ox’s head like a bolt of lightning.
