Chapter 62: Harvest, Thunderbolt Flurry Arrow!
Chapter 62: Harvest, Thunderbolt Flurry Arrow!
A bottle of medicinal pills and a book of martial arts secrets, nothing more.
Qin Zheng turned over Li Ye's corpse, and these were the only two items he found.
A powerful Grandmaster realm expert, yet so poor?
Qin Zheng felt a twinge of disappointment.
He had expected to find many treasures on Li Ye's body.
Sighing softly, Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the martial arts manual in his hand, and a faint smile crept onto his lips.
Thunderbolt Flurry Arrow
Indeed, this was an arrow technique!
Li Ye's close combat abilities were not exceptional, but his archery skills were truly formidable.
If not for Qin Zheng's advanced Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique, which had perfected his mental strength to the point of perceiving danger, he might not have escaped Li Ye's powerful and rapid arrow attacks.
Fortunately, the victor takes all, and he had emerged victorious.
Li Ye's archery skills would now serve him well.
Qin Zheng smiled slightly, unconcerned with his surroundings, and began to study the martial art, carefully turning the pages.
As he reached the last page, a new line of text slowly appeared in his mind's eye.
【Discovered Martial Art: Thunderbolt Flurry Arrow, Can be Refined, Requires 10 Taels of Merit, Do you wish to refine it?】
Another martial art that required 10 taels of merit to refine.
Qin Zheng hesitated for a moment, then without hesitation, he silently recited in his mind, "Refine!"
Outside Yanhe Village.
Situ Qing felt a sense of confusion, as if someone was untying the restraints on his body.
Suddenly, his consciousness cleared!
He opened his eyes wide!
Before him stood the young master Qin, untying the ropes that bound him.
"Are you awake?"
Qin Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly as he spoke.
Despite his severe injuries, he had awakened quickly, indicating that these Demon Slayer Commanders were no ordinary martial artists.
Situ Qing nodded in surprise.
Didn't he leave already?
His mind flashed back to the scenes before he fell into a coma due to his injuries.
The white-robed Grandmaster Bear Demon had resisted and fallen unconscious.
Of course!
He, a Demon Slayer Commander, had been injured and knocked unconscious by a Bear Demon from Must Not Exist Mountain and a human clan Grandmaster who had joined the demons.
Rage filled his heart at the thought.
He, a Demon Slayer Commander, had dedicated his life to protecting the human clan.
Yet, he never imagined that one day, he would fall at the hands of a fellow human clan Grandmaster.
That white-robed human clan Grandmaster had infiltrated Must Not Exist Mountain, becoming an ally to the demons.
A traitor to the human clan, he must die!
His emotions ran high, and his injuries worsened.
Situ Qing began to cough violently, spitting out blood.
Despite the pain, he quickly spoke to Qin Zheng, "Young Master Qin, run!"
"There's a human clan Grandmaster among the demons on Must Not Exist Mountain, and now they're attacking us Demon Slayer Commanders with a Bear Demon!"
"Hurry to the N Character Camp east of Xinyang Prefecture and inform them of our encounter!"
"An army will surely be dispatched to deal with the unruly demons in Must Not Exist Mountain!"
"Take this token, they will believe your words."
"Go, now!"
Situ Qing's face was tense, and he spoke rapidly.
He then noticed that Qin Zheng's expression was slightly odd, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding it back.
But what was so amusing about this life-and-death situation?
Just as he was about to express his anger, Qin Zheng spoke calmly, "First, look around."
Situ Qing was taken aback and turned to look.
Before him lay the massive bodies of Bear Demons, each as powerful as Grandmasters.
Their ferocious heads were scattered on the ground.
Situ Qing turned back, hesitated, and said, "Young Master Qin..."
"They're all dead, by my hand."
Qin Zheng replied without turning, his voice calm.
This scene, etched in Situ Qing's mind, was one of a powerful statement delivered with serene composure.
"They're all dead, by my hand."
However, Situ Qing quickly added, "But there was also a human clan Grandmaster among them!"
A human clan Grandmaster was far more powerful than demons of the same realm. Many demons relied on their demonic bodies for strength, matching the might of Grandmasters.
But a true Grandmaster was exponentially stronger than demons!
Qin Zheng's ability to slay these Bear Demons might not be enough to handle the traitorous human clan Grandmaster.
Yet, Qin Zheng's response remained calm, "I killed him too."
Qin Zheng spoke with unwavering calmness.
Situ Qing stood frozen, unsure how to react, like a statue with wide eyes.
Speaking of which, these few who were ambushed also had their own reasons for their predicament.
It was because Li Ye brought the Werebear Demon to chase after him that he encountered these Demon Slayer Commanders on the road.
Fortunately, although Li Ye severely injured them, he didn't kill them outright.
This gave Qin Zheng the chance to save them.
Although the five were severely injured, they were Bone Refinement Realm experts with much stronger vitality than ordinary people and wouldn't die easily.
Qin Zheng estimated that these people would probably wake up soon.
Before that, he decided to stay and watch over them.
After all, in these deep mountains and forests, with several severely injured people, if they encountered wolves or tigers, they might truly have no power to resist and die.
After settling them down, Qin Zheng turned to look at Situ Qing, who had already gotten up.
"Young Master Qin, I owe you a great debt of gratitude for saving us!"
"Once the other four wake up, I will definitely explain everything to them!"
"Although we five have no background or abilities, if you ever need anything, just say the word, and we will gladly face any danger without hesitation!"
Situ Qing came before Qin Zheng and bowed deeply.
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Alright, since you're awake, then call the others. I'll leave for a moment."
After saying this, he displayed his lightfoot techniques, swiftly following the path he had just taken.
He had obtained Li Ye's archery skill, but not his large bow.
A bow capable of wielding a Grandmaster's strength was certainly no ordinary item.
This large bow was not something to be discarded.
Qin Zheng's figure swiftly moved like a shadow, retracing his steps from the previous chase.
Finally, amidst a shattered mountain, he found Li Ye's large bow.
Qin Zheng's eyes lit up, and he reached out to grasp the bow.
A familiar feeling immediately immersed his soul.
With his merit points now abundant, he naturally had no hesitation and immediately upgraded the Thunderbolt Flurry Arrow to perfection.
Although it cost him several dozen merit points, the result was very satisfying to Qin Zheng!
Qin Zheng inserted the Ghost Head Saber into the ground and then held the bow with his left hand, drawing the bowstring with his right.
As he infused his strength, the sturdy bowstring slowly stretched.
One thousand jin, two thousand jin, three thousand jin, five thousand jin! Only when Qin Zheng's strength reached five thousand jin did the bowstring form a full moon.
Qin Zheng's eyes gleamed with brilliance.
The power of an arrow shot from a bow that could withstand five thousand jin of strength would be incredible!
Although Li Ye's arrows were also powerful, they didn't fully utilize the bow's potential.
A Grandmaster-level expert should definitely possess at least five thousand jin of strength.
So, the issue must lie in the Thunderbolt Flurry Arrow technique itself.
By perfecting this archery skill, he could ensure accuracy while drawing the bowstring to its fullest.
Li Ye, on the other hand, could only draw the bowstring as much as possible while maintaining accuracy.
Even if he drew the bowstring to its limit, it would be futile if he couldn't hit the target.
Qin Zheng understood this, and he slowly released the bowstring.
He carefully examined the bow. The bow's body was made from a rare wood, wrapped in some kind of beast hide, which explained its exceptional quality.
Additionally, during the pursuit, Li Ye had used this bow to block two of his sword strikes, leaving only slight scratches on the bow.
Now that it was his, he regretted not holding back a little.
Qin Zheng then examined the bowstring and realized it was likely made from a Great Demon's tendons, treated with a special secret method.
The fact that it could withstand five thousand jin of strength without breaking attested to its extraordinary quality.
Qin Zheng admired the bow more and more as he looked at it.
He then found the quiver Li Ye had left behind nearby.
There were only a few arrows left inside.
Qin Zheng immediately drew one, nocked it, and drew the bowstring to its fullest.
Various archery techniques and principles flowed through his mind.
Chirp!
Just then, an eagle's cry echoed in the sky.
Qin Zheng's heart leaped, and he immediately raised the bow, aiming at the eagle.
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed through the wilderness, like a thunderclap.
An arrow pierced the air, like a flash of light.
The eagle soaring in the sky was instantly struck by an arrow and exploded in mid-air.
Qin Zheng's eyes shone with joy.
Meanwhile, over a dozen miles away, Situ Qing had just managed to treat his injuries with medicine.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the distant horizon, startling birds in the mountains.
Situ Qing trembled.
He looked in the direction of the sound.
What's happening with Young Master Qin?!
