Chapter 137: Slaying the Perfected Demon
Chapter 137: Slaying the Perfected Demon
Boom!
The residual force of the arrow dissipated, and the peahen's corpse slid swiftly down the mountain wall, finally smashing heavily onto the ground.
The tremors were so intense that it took a moment for everyone to regain their senses. They were stunned by the power of the strike, wondering just how much faster and more powerful it was compared to the arrow Xiao Qiangwei had fired earlier.
Only such a formidable display could live up to the renowned might of the Celestial Sunbreaker Bow!
What surprised Xiao Qiangwei the most was the sheer strength contained within Shen Yi's slender body, which was even more terrifying than she had anticipated!
With pure physical might alone, Shen Yi had managed to draw the bow to a seventy percent draw, just like You General.
Without employing any other techniques, if Shen Yi were to use the bow solely for demon-slaying, it would be no different from having You Longtao personally take action.
"..."
The death of his daughter seemed to have sobered up the old man considerably.
As the young man drew the bowstring for the second time, the peacock frantically flapped its wings, no longer daring to directly confront the arrow. The azure feathers between its wings shimmered with light, and the invisible ripples, spanning dozens of zhang wide, appeared slow but reached the peak where the young man stood in an instant.
Crack!
The towering cliff was vertically sliced in half, and at the same time, Shen Yi released his fingers once more.
A sharp resonance reverberated through the secluded valley, and a blinding white light shot towards the demon frantically fleeing in the air, striking its tail and causing the graceful tail feathers to scatter across the sky. The light also shattered the bald, half-severed body of the demon.
The ancient demon flapped its wings, splattering blood, but even in excruciating pain, it dared not make a sound, struggling to maintain its balance and avoid falling.
It unleashed two more invisible ripples, but in its panic, it could only manage to slice the mountain peak into finer pieces, barely having any effect.
Wait! Wait until the newcomer exhausts himself!
The Celestial Sunbreaker Bow possessed an awe-inspiring might, but the physical toll it took on the user was also extraordinary, beyond what an ordinary person could endure.
As long as this new arrival became fatigued, the outcome of this battle was still uncertain!
The vast peacock's body swept through the secluded valley like a raging storm, and the blood it shed dyed the entire sky red.
Shen Yi observed this scene with a frown, feeling slightly uncertain.
He had never used a bow before, and although he could rely on his keen eyesight and perfect control over his body's strength to shoot without missing a stationary target, the full-speed escape of a perfected demon was simply terrifying.
After a moment's thought, he indifferently aimed the longbow's nocked arrow at the effeminate young man with feathered arms.
Locked in the path of the boundless sharp arrow, Hone Jing froze in place, stunned.
What kind of demon was this, starting the battle by targeting the family of others?
His father might be able to dodge, and one hit might not be fatal, but he certainly didn't have the strength to withstand it.
"You're shameless!" The flying demon also sensed something amiss and let out an enraged roar. It looked down at Hone Jing, its gaze falling on the azure and crimson feathers on his arms. In the end, it couldn't bear to part with these two precious feathers.
The massive demon's body suddenly descended, wrapping Hone Jing in its wings, just as it was about to take flight again. But Shen Yi, who had been prepared, had already fired another arrow.
The sturdy feathers that could withstand the Two-Element Dao Sword were easily pierced by the white light, and the muscles beneath them shattered like tofu.
Before the ancient demon could react, a second arrow followed, blasting it a hundred zhang away.
It had been prepared to take a direct hit from an arrow, confident in its perfected demon body's ability to withstand it. But it never expected that the young man could fire arrows in rapid succession without pause!
The third and fourth arrows followed in quick succession.
Shen Yi seemed to be enjoying himself, firing arrows continuously without showing any signs of fatigue, each arrow faster than the last.
Until he noticed the light on the Heaven-Dome Sunbreak Bow in his hand seemed to dim slightly.
He finally released the bowstring, still reluctant to stop.
At the edge of the secluded valley, the old peacock's wings shattered, its body riddled with horrifying blood holes, resembling a gnawed chicken carcass. Its neck was raised high, staring intently at the black-robed figure.
The vitality in its eyes quickly diminished until it vanished completely.
Within its broken wings, a figure trembled and curled up. Just as it lifted its head to look around, two Dao Sword Illusions, not as condensed as before, silently sealed its movements.
Chunyang Daoist and Jingqing Daoist strode over, not giving the creature a chance to resist, but also not directly taking its life.
Demon hunters personally collect the vital essence blood to exchange for merit.
Only now did the two of them finally understand why Shen Yi was put in full charge... The way he kept drawing the bow earlier had left the two old Daoists stunned. Marshal You certainly wasn't treating this matter lightly.
It was obvious that he was taking it seriously, just short of coming personally.
Even in the entire Tingyang Prefecture, Shen Yi's strength could rank among the top three.
Xiao Qianwei also walked over, seeing the shocked expressions on the two old men, she felt a strange joy in her heart. But when she secretly glanced at the figure on the collapsed mountain peak, her joy faded, replaced by unease.
...
Shen Yi sheathed his longbow into his waist's silver bell.
He turned and walked towards the pile of rubble, rummaged through it, and pulled out a barely alive figure.
He squatted down slightly, turning Yan Xingkong over.
Without giving the man a chance to speak, he unleashed a series of palm strikes, even harsher than before.
In the blink of an eye, the man's legs were shattered, his major meridians sealed, and finally, his Qi Sea was locked with a single palm strike.
"Can you still run?"
"..." Yan Xingkong looked at the youth's serious expression and realized that he wasn't being sarcastic; he was genuinely asking.
A bitter expression surfaced on his disheveled face, and he shook his head. Under such methods, even a god would struggle to escape, let alone a mere bandit.
"Hand it over." Shen Yi extended his hand and said indifferently.
Yan Xingkong was stunned for a moment, finally understanding why this person had left him with half an arm still able to move. With great effort, he reached for his waist, took out an ordinary-looking small cloth bag, and retrieved a golden sheet the size of a palm from it.
Engraved on it was the treasure of White Cloud Temple, the Two-Element True Intent.
Shen Yi glanced at it briefly, his expression unchanged, and put it away, "You should know your fate, right?"
He didn't have much opinion of Yan Xingkong. Although he had been led around for so many days, he couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. However, this trip had been quite fruitful, and the man had even given him a warning earlier, at least not truly intending to take his life.
Unfortunately, everyone's life was precious.
The two old Daoists from White Cloud Temple and the Silver Bell Exorcist from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau had almost lost their lives outside of Qingzhou. This incident also required a life to be given in exchange.
"Yan knows," Yan Xingkong seemed to have prepared himself for this moment. He turned his head towards the two demons in the distance, his eyes filled with the joy of avenging a great grudge. Even though he knew Shen Yi was powerful, he hadn't expected that even a Condensation Core Perfected Demon would fall so easily to the man.
He suppressed his turbulent heart and looked at the youth with guilt, "If not for your arrival..."
"That's not what I meant." Shen Yi extended his hand again, "When you ask me for a favor, you should offer some compensation. Since you won't have a future anyway, you might as well be generous."
Yan Xingkong was slightly startled, but soon understood the youth's meaning. He shook the cloth bag, and a thin martial arts manual fell out, "I don't keep overnight wealth on me, but I always carry this with me. I hope you don't think it's too little."
Shen Yi took it and put it into his silver bell, then carried the man into the secluded valley.
