The sharp, cold light was so swift and fierce that it was already in front of us.
“It’s an arrow!”
Qing Yu’s body suddenly turned into a void, and the sharp arrow pa*sed through the void, emitting a sharp hiss in the long air behind him.
‘Amongst the southern border, there are still experts in the Dao of Arrows?’
There were very few people in the Jianghu who used bows and arrows, and there was not a single strong archer. But today, Qing Yu had seen this never-before-seen ability of the Dao of Arrows.
“Bash…”
There was another crashing sound, and several cold arrows were breaking the wind, this time multiple arrows.
Four sharp arrows, either zigzagging or striking straight ahead, combined in a positive and odd manner, concealing and killing in eight directions.
Qing Yu’s figure kept changing, jumping from side to side, avoiding three arrows, but this fourth arrow was unavoidable.
Even though Qing Yu’s spirit could detect the path of the arrows, the limit of his body was still a hard wound.
“Cracking the Yu’s Xuan.”
The arrow was struck by a cracking force, and Qing Yu grabbed it with one hand, stopping it in its tracks.
The arrow, which had been so sharp and powerful before, was just an ordinary stone arrow after the qi had been removed. On the simple stone arrow, which was not decorated at all, were three unfamiliar characters, which must have been the name of the arrow’s owner.
“I am amazed that there are such archers in the southern border.” Qing Yu looked at the direction where the arrows were coming from and laughed lightly.
Although he could not read the unfamiliar script, Qing Yu knew that it was the unique witch script of the southern frontier. If that was the case, there was no doubt as to where the archer had come from.
There was no reply from the distant darkness, but a sharp aura was building up, and the aura was firmly locked onto Qing Yu.
The archer was drawing his bow, and his next arrow would have the power to shatter the sky.
“This feeling like a man’s back is really a good arrow intent.” Feeling the sharpness that seemed to pierce his body at any moment, even Qing Yu could not help but praise.
The archer’s arrow intent was already firmly locked onto Qing Yu, and no matter how much he dodged, he could not avoid the next arrow.
Even though Qing Yu’s strength was greatly limited due to his possession, the fact that he could lock onto him was commendable.
The current situation seemed to be that there was no way to communicate. The archer had absolutely no intention of showing himself, so if he wanted to get some information out of him, he wouldn’t even have to think about it.
That being the case ——
Qing Yu took a step forward, but approached the three people who were nailed to the ground by Xuan Yin sword qi.
The other party cannot be allowed to continue to build up momentum like this, or else Jian Ji’s body will not even be able to be preserved. The body is already wounded, and although Qing Yu has stabilized her injuries after he possessed her, if he lets the archer build up his momentum to the extreme, even he wouldn’t dare to guarantee that Jian Ji’s body would be unharmed.
Therefore, he had to force his opponent to shoot the arrow in advance.
“Avalanche…”
The bow thundered like a thunderbolt, and before Qing Yu could take a step forward, his opponent had already fired an arrow.
The arrow was so sharp that it had the power to destroy mountains and break rocks, and the earth was cracked with a long crack due to the sharpness of the arrow.
As the main target of the arrow, Qing Yu felt a strong sense of threat.
“The Wave of Splitting the Universe.”
The Undeserved Demon Sword danced and circled, its Qi energy like a tidal wave, heaving and shocking with the power to crack the sky.
The stone arrows that broke through the air struck the tide of qi, and the sharpness of the arrows that could break the river was dissected by the heavy qi blast. However, the accumulated momentum still allowed the arrow to penetrate the tide of Qi and reach Qing Yu’s sword blade in front of him.
“Ding…”
The arrow made contact with the undeserved sword with a crisp ringing sound. And then, the stone arrow turned into a pile of pieces and was lifted off by the strong wind.
Although the arrow Qi was superb, the arrow was of such poor quality that it could not withstand the fierce blast after all, and shattered in advance.
This arrow was taken by Qing Yu. However, the opponent’s aim was also achieved.
The three people pinned to the ground by the sword qi were now completely silent, and there was no trace of light in their wide open eyes.
They had died, just now, when the ban was triggered.
The archer’s intention was to rescue the three, but if he found that he could not save them, he would kill them. When the archer realised that this arrow could not help Qing Yu, he triggered the ban set in their bodies and killed them.
“Such determination, three experts at the peak of the True Dan realm just give up their weapons. Qing Yu a*serted.
Giving up benefits was for the sake of greater benefits.
These three were all people who had the potential to break through to Godhood, and among the three of them, there was a high possibility that one or even more strong practitioners of the Godhood realm would emerge. If a martial artist with such a potential could just give it up, then it could only mean that what the Southern Border was planning was far greater than these three.
[Jian Ji, how did you meet these three people? Qing Yu asked Jian Ji with his mind.
[Mirror Master, the three of them came to us of their own accord, and it looked like they were trying to block our men].
[Blocking? Qing Yu said in a suspicious voice.
[Not bad, although I am from the Southern Border, I was ultimately raised in the Central Plains and have a position in the Southern Border, but I am not popular. This is evident from the fact that the Southern Border has never sought me out after I was captured.
The three of them, too, had the idea of capturing me only after they recognised me. I guess they wanted to ask some information about the Mirror Master or something else from me.]
Along with Jian Ji’s words, her mind also flashed through the memories from earlier, which were read by Qing Yu.
Indeed, as she had said, the three looked like they had come to block the extermination and had the idea of capturing her alive only after recognising Jian Ji.
”If that’s the case, perhaps the other men in charge of this area are also in bad luck. The Southern Border, too, has entered the picture and is still on a hostile stance.”
If that was the case, the losses suffered by the Daoist Sect this time would be more than expected. Originally, Qing Yu had thought of taking this opportunity to counter-encircle the Buddhists in a wave, but now it seemed that at best, it could be considered a miserable victory, or even a draw.
At the last minute, the plan had gone awry. It must be said that the people of the Southern Border had a good entry point, cutting into the Daoist advantage.
After thinking for a moment, Qing Yu said to Jian Ji: [Jian Ji, order a retreat. And, spread the news of the collusion between the Buddhist Sect and the Southern Witch Clan, so that the whole world will know that the people of the Southern Border have entered the Central Plains].
[Yes.]
Whether or not the Buddhist Sect really colluded with the Southern Witch Tribe, it was a fact that the Southern Border had helped the Buddhist Sect. In any case, it is always right to throw dirty water on it first.
When it comes to enemies, one has to make use of all that one can, and strike from all sides. The Buddhist monasteries are all over the world, with a large number of followers and a strong reputation, so it is the right time to take advantage of this matter to strike a blow at their reputation.
And, if the people of the southern border want to play mysteriously, then Qing Yu will shake out their whereabouts. Whatever the enemy wants to do is what our side will stop. Whatever the enemy does not want to do is what we will do.
Since the people of the Southern Border have shown themselves, there will always be a time when they will be completely exposed. It is not easy to hide in the Central Plains.
