In an instant, the creaking of tightening bowstrings swelled into a heart-pounding chorus.
Immediately after, countless sharp, ear-piercing whistles ripped through the air.
"WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—!!!"
The sky suddenly went dark.
Thousands of arrows rose from the ranks of the Military Preparation Army, weaving together into a black cloud of death that instantly blotted out the sky above Golden Spring Temple.
A torrent of arrows rained down like a waterfall!
"THWACK!"
"AHHH—!"
The moment the arrow rain began to fall, the front courtyard of Golden Spring Temple transformed into a living hell.
Many martial monks didn't even have time to fully erect their Protective Gang Qi before powerful crossbow bolts pierced their chests and skewered their skulls.
