Chapter 213: Three Times of Breaking Limits, The Terrifying Arrow Technique!

Chapter 213: Three Times of Breaking Limits, The Terrifying Arrow Technique!

On the desolate island.

Jiang Ning continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows.

With each arrow released, it stirred up a gust of wind and waves, and his experience points in the Gale Thunder Arrow Art steadily increased.

A moment later.

Xie Xiaojiu leaped from the light boat, her toes lightly touching the cliff wall, and gracefully landed beside Jiang Ning.

"Sir!" Xie Xiaojiu spoke up.

Boom!

Jiang Ning released the arrow he had tightly gripped.

The arrow tore through the air, suddenly creating a gust of wind.

Xie Xiaojiu's long hair by her ear was instantly swept up by the wind, sticking to her red lips.

"Why did you suddenly come to find me?" Jiang Ning asked.

Hearing this, Xie Xiaojiu gently used her little finger to tuck a strand of her long hair behind her ear and then replied, "Sir, you wanted me to observe the traces of the Black Mountain Army before, and I've found them."

"You found them?" Jiang Ning was surprised and then asked again, "Where?"

As they spoke.

An arrow appeared in his palm again, and he slowly drew the bowstring.

"They're at North Qiu Mountain," Xie Xiaojiu answered.

North Qiu Mountain.

Upon hearing these three words, information about North Qiu Mountain immediately flashed into Jiang Ning's mind.

North Qiu Mountain was located ten miles north of Luoshui County and was connected to the Luo River.

This mountain range stretched for dozens of miles and was filled with ancient towering forests. It was home to ferocious beasts like tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves, making it a place rarely visited by humans.

"Is the information reliable?" Jiang Ning asked.

As they spoke.

He released the fully drawn arrow again.

Boom!

The arrow flew through the air.

【Gale Thunder Arrow Art Experience: +1】

Xie Xiaojiu glanced at the arrow Jiang Ning had shot and saw a strange color flash in her eyes once more.

Then, she said, "It's very reliable! Moreover, just now when I came out of the Inspection Bureau, I saw a squad leader leading a group of people, and their target was precisely North Qiu Mountain."

"Good!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Sir, should I go back and gather some men now?"

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, "Wait a little longer, just follow me!"

While talking with Xie Xiaojiu, Jiang Ning didn't stop his actions.

The Gale Thunder Arrow Art was just a few experience points away from reaching 3000, which was perfect for a final effort to gain experience points in the art.

"Sir, you and me?" Xie Xiaojiu was surprised, "How can that be? With just the two of us entering the mountain, even this vast forest would be like two drops of water merging into the ocean for us, and finding the Black Mountain Army would be a difficult task."

Xie Xiaojiu's words were the very reason why the Black Mountain Army, which was made up of warriors of various ranks, had been difficult to completely eradicate after dispersing.

They were like the wind, able to survive in any harsh environment.

When they merged into the forest-covered mountains, their traces became even harder to find, let alone eliminating them all.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning shook his head, "No problem! I have my ways!"

"What's your plan, sir?" Xie Xiaojiu asked curiously.

Boom!

As he smiled, he shot another arrow.

【Gale Thunder Arrow Art Experience: +1】

Hearing?

Xie Xiaojiu's eyes showed confusion.

Then, she looked at Jiang Ning again.

Seeing Jiang Ning's serious expression as he continued to draw and shoot arrows, she said no more and kept her question hidden in her heart.

Next.

Jiang Ning continued to draw and shoot arrows, making his final effort.

Xie Xiaojiu also quietly waited by his side, patiently waiting for Jiang Ning.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Jiang Ning sped up, and arrows flew through the air.

【Gale Thunder Arrow Art Experience: +1】

【Source Energy】: 500.88

【Skills】: Gale Thunder Arrow Art + (Second Limit Break 3000/3000) (Traits: Wind and Thunder Breath, Mind Arrow Technique)



Jiang Ning glanced at his panel, feeling a surge of excitement.

With over 500 Source Energy points, the experience points for the Gale Thunder Arrow Art exceeded 3000, and a familiar plus sign appeared.

This meant he could break the limit of this skill.

The next moment.

Jiang Ning no longer hesitated.

With a thought, the Source Energy points on the panel rapidly decreased.

Suddenly.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in Jiang Ning's ears.

He closed his eyes, and the pitch-black, empty world was instantly torn apart by streaks of lightning.

Jiang Ning felt as if he was in a world of thunder.

All around him, the world was occasionally torn by lightning.

By his ear, he heard the howling of the storm.

On the other side.

Xie Xiaojiu's eyes widened in shock as she watched Jiang Ning, her body retreating repeatedly.

Because at this moment, she witnessed a sudden gust of wind appearing around Jiang Ning, gradually evolving into a miniature whirlwind.

"What's happening here?" Xie Xiaojiu muttered as she observed the scene before her.

A thunderous boom reverberated.

Suddenly.

A clear sky thunderclap startled Xie Xiaojiu.

She looked on with a peculiar expression at the scene before her. The small whirlwind that had suddenly appeared quickly took shape, sweeping up dust, leaves, and withered grass from the surroundings.

Soon after.

The anomaly around Jiang Ning dissipated, and the dust and leaves in the air slowly drifted down to the ground.

The thunderclap in the clear sky subsided.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

[Technique]: Thunderbolt Arrow Art (Three Breaks Limit 0/4000) (Trait: Wind and Thunder Breath, Mind Arrow Technique, Thunderbolt Arrow)



[Thunderbolt Arrow]: Arrow, wind and thunder in motion.

Thunderbolt Arrow?

Jiang Ning looked at the description on the panel, his expression filled with astonishment.

The description was too simplistic, consisting of only five words, making it difficult for him to determine the effect of this trait.

Subsequently.

He glanced at Xie Xiaojiu and then slowly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

"What effect will it have? I'll find out with one shot!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

After a moment.

He pulled the bowstring to its limit.

Boom—

Jiang Ning released the arrow, and it pierced through the air.

The next moment, Jiang Ning's eyes widened in surprise.

Xie Xiaojiu, standing beside him, was even more shocked.

Because Jiang Ning's arrow was completely different from the previous ones.

As the arrow was released, it suddenly summoned a storm.

With a formidable momentum, it tore through the air towards the front.

The commotion it caused was at least ten times louder than before.

With the empowerment of the storm, the arrow's speed was incredibly fast, almost twice as fast as before.

Moreover, the arrow was enveloped in lightning, transforming it into a thunderbolt arrow.

Jiang Ning's gaze remained fixed on the arrow in mid-air.

"Is this the Thunderbolt Arrow?" he wondered.

Beside him.

Xie Xiaojiu muttered, "Thunderbolt Arrow Art, it is said that upon reaching an extremely high realm, one arrow can summon wind and thunder."

The next moment.

Xie Xiaojiu looked at Jiang Ning, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She recognized that Jiang Ning's arrow technique was a mid-tier martial art, the Thunderbolt Arrow Art.

However, the arrow technique Jiang Ning displayed left her amazed.

One arrow summoned wind and thunder! According to her knowledge, this was merely an exaggerated claim in the martial arts world.

If an arrow could truly summon wind and thunder upon release.

Then it wouldn't be a martial art but an ancient immortal technique from the primordial era.

On the other side.

In Jiang Ning's perception, the arrow that summoned wind and thunder had already traveled several li away, and the distance was almost at its limit.

But as the arrow's momentum gradually diminished and it slanted into the lake water.

Zzzz—

Electric arcs instantly appeared on the lake's surface.

"Is this the Thunderbolt Arrow?"

Jiang Ning was once again surprised.

In his current eyes, this arrow had clearly transcended the realm of martial arts.

Especially when the thunder power erupted, it went beyond the scope of martial arts.

At least, according to his current understanding, no martial art could harness the thunder power from nature.

"This power is a bit exaggerated!" Jiang Ning saw the thunder-stricken lake surface with charred fish corpses floating on the water, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

This effect had completely exceeded his expectations.

Not only was the arrow's piercing speed almost doubled, but its maximum distance was also greatly increased.

The most formidable aspect was the thunder power that erupted from the arrow, which was the most terrifying.

Although there was no enemy to test the final thunder power, it was unclear how strong it was.

However, the mere increase in speed made Jiang Ning very satisfied.

As for the thunder power that erupted, he knew it must be powerful just by seeing the scene in the distance.

[Technique]: Thunderbolt Arrow Art (Three Breaks Limit 1/4000) (Trait: Wind and Thunder Breath, Mind Arrow Technique, Thunderbolt Arrow)



Jiang Ning glanced at his panel and then stopped his cultivation.

"Xiaojiu, let's go!" Jiang Ning said calmly.

As his words fell, he leaped into the air.

Xie Xiaojiu quickly followed him.

After a few jumps, the two landed on the light boat that Xie Xiaojiu had arrived on.

"Sir, are we going to North Qiu Mountain now?" Xie Xiaojiu asked anxiously after stabilizing her stance.

"Yes, we're going to North Qiu Mountain. If we find the Black Mountain Army, I can test my arrow technique on them."

Action: "The adult's archery is truly divine!" Xie Xiaojiu exclaimed in admiration.

Jiang Ning smiled ambiguously, neither confirming nor denying.

The Thunderbolt Arrow Art, though it required three Break Limits, was the only skill that consumed 500 Essence Energy points during the break.

Accordinging to the level of Essence Energy consumption, this arrow technique was the most profound among all the skills he currently possessed.

As the two conversed, the light boat beneath their feet suddenly started moving without wind, slowly accelerating towards the center of the lake.

"What's this?" Xie Xiaojiu felt the movement beneath her feet and abruptly widened her eyes, staring at the boat moving without wind.

She had just rowed the light boat to the desolate island.

Now, she and Jiang Ning stood on the deck of the light boat, and without anyone rowing the oars, the boat inexplicably started moving.

"Don't panic!" Jiang Ning glanced at Xie Xiaojiu indifferently, "This is just a little trick of mine."

"A little trick?" Xie Xiaojiu looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

Jiang Ning smiled at him and then looked ahead, simultaneously activating his Water Control Technique to set the light boat in motion.

After that, with the aid of his Water Control Technique, the light boat beneath their feet kept accelerating, getting faster and faster.

Soon, it sped off like an arrow towards the direction of North Qiu Mountain.

The vast Luo River,

Gathering the waters from countless mountains and rivers,

Including a great river that flowed through the interior of North Qiu Mountain, so at this moment, Jiang Ning was heading straight for the great river to enter the mountain.

North Qiu Mountain,

Located ten li north of Luoshui County,

Spanning dozens of li, with mountains and rivers crisscrossing, and a great river flowing through its valleys, gathering the waters from the numerous mountains of North Qiu Mountain.

At this moment,

In a valley,

A group of warriors in uniform were rapidly moving forward.

"Brother Liu, a little faster!" Liu Sansheng urged.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaonan hurried the group behind him and then said to Liu Sansheng, "Brother Liu, how much further is it?"

Liu Sansheng flashed to the side of a cliff, glanced at the markings on it,

And his eyes lit up with excitement.

"According to the markings left behind, it's not far now!"

At the same time,

In another valley,

A group of people rested by a lake, starting to boil water and cook.

Not far away, five pitch-black horses like ink lowered their heads to drink from the lake.

"Boss, according to the information from the little mouse behind us, the group of people coming from behind should be from the Inspection Bureau,"

The muscular man tore into the charred thigh in his hand with his mouth, "Since that's the case, let's wait for them here and see what the people from the Inspection Bureau are made of!"

As he spoke, a glint of greed flashed in the muscular man's eyes.

"The warriors' bodies are great medicine! We can use them to replenish ourselves."

"Good! We'll do as the boss says!"

On the other side,

Jiang Ning and Xie Xiaojiu navigated the light boat, heading upstream along the river flowing from North Qiu Mountain.

With Jiang Ning's powerful water control technique, the light boat moved swiftly upstream, quickly entering the vast mountain forest.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Xie Xiaojiu asked, looking around the riverbank.

"No rush!" Jiang Ning said calmly, "Let's follow this river for now."

At this moment, Jiang Ning had pushed his hearing to its limits.

Within a range of one or two li, any slightly larger movement would be detected by him.

This was his advantage in bringing Xie Xiaojiu into North Qiu Mountain.

Although North Qiu Mountain was vast, it only spanned several li in all directions.

With his powerful hearing, by following the river upstream, he could detect approximately one-third of North Qiu Mountain.

Therefore, in Jiang Ning's opinion, finding the hidden Black Mountain Army in North Qiu Mountain wasn't a difficult task.

After a cup of tea,

Jiang Ning's ears twitched slightly.

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, "I should have found the Black Mountain Army!"

"Sir, you've found the Black Mountain Army?" Xie Xiaojiu's eyes widened in surprise, looking around.

However, no matter how she observed, she couldn't find any traces of the Black Mountain Army.

Then, she felt the light boat rushing towards the riverbank.

In a few breaths, the light boat docked at the riverbank.

"Let's go, follow me!" Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu immediately responded.

At this moment, she still had many doubts.

But she silently suppressed her questions and followed behind Jiang Ning.

The two of them immediately headed forward.

The louder the sounds of battle in Jiang Ning's ears became.
