Chapter 91: The Bowstring Snaps? Qin Zheng's Million-Pound Strength!
Chapter 91: The Bowstring Snaps? Qin Zheng's Million-Pound Strength!
The situation took a sudden turn!
The ancient dragon had feigned death, evading General Qin Li Hu's perception. Then, as the general's guard was down, it launched a surprise attack!
Wang Wei Qian's shout of surprise echoed throughout the Cold Avoidance Spring.
In an instant, Qin Zheng displayed his lightfoot technique, taking long strides to reach the spring. His eyes fixed on the water below.
As a Great Grandmaster, he was protected by his essence energy, allowing him to walk on water.
Logically, he could also dive into the spring without hindrance.
However, beneath the spring's waters lay the lair of the dragon demon. Undoubtedly, its power was significantly stronger at the bottom.
Moreover, General Qin Li Hu was already severely injured. Having just exerted his essence energy to execute a spear technique, he was now likely weakened.
Being forcibly dragged into the water at this point would be life-threatening.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, then released the mental energy stored between his eyebrows, sending it rapidly towards the depths of the spring.
With the enhancement from the Tibetan Secret Perception Mental Book, his mental energy could materialize and control objects.
He extended his mental energy into the spring, allowing him to perceive the underwater scene within his mind.
At that moment, General Qin Li Hu's body erupted with crimson essence energy, resisting the ancient dragon's coiling body.
Simultaneously, he unleashed spear essence, attacking the dragon demon's torn flesh, aggravating its injuries.
However, the ancient dragon seemed impervious to pain, allowing the spear essence to tear its flesh without flinching.
The dragon's body, binding the general, constricted further, forcing him to divert more energy to resist its grasp.
Was the dragon demon trying to strangle the general to death in the spring?
Qin Zheng nocked an arrow, focused his mental energy on the dragon demon below, and gradually drew the bowstring to a full moon.
To deal with a demon of this caliber, one must penetrate the water and strike with immense force to ensure a successful shot.
Below, the ancient dragon seemed to sense the threat from the shore. It abruptly raised its dragon head.
Then, a thunderous roar echoed.
A streak of light pierced the water, reaching the dragon demon in an instant.
Before it could react, the arrow penetrated its wound.
Boom!
In an instant, its flesh exploded.
Roar!!!
The dragon demon let out an ear-splitting, painful roar.
The power of this arrow far exceeded the spear essence Qin Li Hu had unleashed underwater, by several folds.
After firing the first shot above the spring, Qin Li Hu had already consumed a significant amount of essence energy.
Being dragged into the water, he had to use more essence energy to resist the dragon's coils.
With limited essence energy remaining, his subsequent attacks were weakened, posing no real threat.
But Qin Zheng's arrow was a full-power shot!
Although the spring had diminished some of its strength, the dragon demon's wound exposed its flesh.
With this arrow, the dragon demon suffered additional injuries, unable to coil and bind Qin Li Hu anymore.
Freed from its grasp, the general didn't immediately escape the spring. Instead, he wielded his long spear, gathering essence energy in an instant, preparing his next move.
Crimson essence energy coiled around the spear, forming a shadow spear several meters long. With an upward motion, he abruptly lifted the dragon demon out of the water.
Boom!!
The dozens-of-meters-long dragon demon broke through the water's surface, appearing before Qin Zheng.
Without hesitation, Qin Zheng nocked another arrow, and it flew like a shooting star.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, ten streaks of light arrived, pounding the dragon demon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bloody flowers exploded.
The massive dragon demon's body was forcibly blasted out of the spring by the ten arrows, slamming heavily onto the ground.
Roar!!!
The dragon demon's agonized roar reverberated through the heavens and earth.
Suddenly, the demons on the surrounding mountains hesitated in their descent.
They were demons, but they weren't mindless.
They had traveled thousands of miles, aiming to obtain a strand of dragon saliva. But with the spring's dragon demon now forced out of the water, could it still transform into a dragon?
At this moment, hesitation filled the demons' minds, and fewer of them rushed down the mountains.
On one side of the spring, the dragon demon writhed and thrashed on the ground in agony, causing the earth to tremble.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, nocked another arrow, and fired at the dragon demon.
"Despicable humans, how dare you ambush me!"
The dragon demon suddenly lifted its head, its cold, upright pupils filled with rage, staring at Qin Zheng on the opposite shore.
Ignoring its words, Qin Zheng fired another arrow.
Boom!
A streak of light flashed, followed by a thunderous roar.
Qin Zheng executed the Thunderbolt Radiance Arrow Technique, perfected by Li Ye, to its utmost potential.
Clap!
But the dragon demon, on the verge of ascending to the Sage Demon Realm, was quick to react. It swung its tail, exploding the arrow in mid-air, thwarting Qin Zheng's attack.
After all, it was an apex demonic beast, soon to transform into a dragon.
Once it reacted, arrows could no longer inflict effective damage.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, his expression calm and unreadable.
He nocked another arrow, and fired like a shooting star.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Arrows rained down, and the dragon demon's body moved like a shadow, swatting away each arrow.
A stalemate formed between the man and the demon on opposite shores of the spring.
In the mountains, Wang Wei Qian struck down a demon with his halberd, then turned towards the spring.
Suddenly, Qin Zheng's eyes widened, and his pupils contracted.
This Qin Zheng, he's actually holding his ground against the ancient dragon with his archery!
That ancient dragon is about to ascend to the Demon Sage Realm! Just how powerful is this kid?!
Like the others, Liu Mingyi took advantage of a brief respite to observe the battlefield above the Cold Avoidance Pool.
And then, he was startled by Qin Zheng's lightning-fast arrows, which seemed to clash with the dragon demon.
This kid... he's even stronger than they thought!
Qin Zheng stood his ground, his expression calm, continuously nocking and releasing arrows as fast as thunderbolts, each one a radiant streak of light.
But only he knew the true state of affairs, which wasn't as good as it seemed on the surface.
Because, after drawing the bowstring to its full moon shape repeatedly, the bowstring of the Kaifeng Prefecture Governor's family treasure bow, which he had just replaced, was already showing signs of strain.
It was already struggling to bear the tension!
Qin Zheng could sense that if he continued at this pace, it wouldn't be long before the bowstring snapped!
But looking at the dragon demon, the arrows he shot didn't seem to have a significant impact on it. Indeed, for him, the bow was still holding him back, preventing him from fully utilizing his advantages.
Qin Zheng's mind raced with thoughts, but his hands didn't pause for a moment.
Under the relentless barrage of arrows, the dragon demon couldn't make any extra moves, only managing to lash its tail to deflect the arrows.
Just then, a figure suddenly burst out from the water's surface!
Qin Li Hu was enveloped in essence energy, and a 10-meter-long spear shadow appeared beside him, aiming at the dragon demon. He thrust the spear forward with immense force!
Boom!!!
The spear shadow struck the ground below like an arrow.
The dragon demon roared and howled, using its body as a whip, exerting tremendous force to counter the spear shadow.
The ground shook violently, and dust rose, obscuring the dragon demon from view.
But at this moment, a peculiar fragrant aroma emerged.
The demons on the surrounding mountains, who had been hesitant, suddenly smelled this aroma and charged down like madmen.
In an instant, the pressure on the Ren Character Camp intensified.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and a bad premonition suddenly surfaced in his mind.
"This dragon demon is about to undergo a transformation! We must kill it before it completes its metamorphosis!"
Above the pool, General Qin Li Hu was surrounded by essence energy, standing on the water's surface.
He turned to Qin Zheng and said, "I'll engage it in close combat, while you support me from a distance with your arrows!"
After saying this, he took a step, and the water beneath him suddenly erupted.
Then, his figure, like a phantom, charged into the dust.
A more intense tremor followed, accompanied by the dragon demon's roars and thicker clouds of dust.
Qin Zheng's gaze intensified as he nocked an arrow, focusing intently on the dust cloud.
Whenever the dragon demon's body appeared, a radiant streak of light would pierce through the dust, striking it.
As the dust gradually dispersed, the radiant streaks became more frequent.
With Qin Zheng's long-range support, the dragon demon was forced to retreat, its body increasingly covered in wounds.
However, the battlefield between the man and the dragon demon gradually shifted from the ground beside the pool towards the water's edge.
Roar!!!
The dragon demon's aura grew stronger, and with a mighty roar, it lashed its long tail like a whip.
Qin Li Hu also gathered his essence energy and thrust his spear forward.
Boom!!!
A massive boom reverberated.
The dragon demon and Qin Li Hu flew back in opposite directions.
But the dragon demon's trajectory was towards the center, directly towards the Cold Avoidance Pool!
Not good!
Qin Li Hu's eyes narrowed, and he forcefully changed his direction, concentrating the crimson essence energy on his coiled dragon spear. Then, he hurled the spear towards the dragon demon.
Whoosh!
The spear flew like an arrow, instantly striking the dragon demon.
The dragon demon roared, and its aura instantly weakened, but it still managed to escape into the pool.
On the other shore, Qin Zheng, witnessing this, ignored the bowstring and focused his mental energy on the dragon demon, continuously nocking and drawing arrows to shoot at the submerged dragon demon.
Through his perception, he realized that the dragon demon wasn't immediately diving into the pool's depths but was swiftly approaching him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Arrows like radiant streaks shot out, piercing the water's surface, yet they couldn't stop the dragon demon's advance.
Bang!
Finally, at one moment, Qin Zheng's bowstring snapped.
A crisp sound echoed around the Cold Avoidance Pool.
The hearts of the surrounding people tightened.
Bang!
At the same time, the dragon demon burst through the water, its massive head charging towards the shore where Qin Zheng stood.
"Without your bow and arrows, what can you do? Die!" The dragon demon roared.
Before retreating to the pool's depths to recover, it intended to kill this insignificant ant that had been interfering from afar.
In this instant, everyone's pupils constricted.
Wang Wei Qian, Liu Mingyi, and some of the Demon Slayer Commanders and common soldiers who had been observing this side, now fixed their gaze on this scene.
For a moment, they seemed to see a vision of Qin Zheng being swallowed by the dragon demon.
But at that moment, a calm voice, hidden within the roars, reached the dragon demon's ears.
"It's finally here!"
"Without the bow and arrows, Qin still has the strength of ten thousand pounds!"
