Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

Under the boost of the "every arrow hits the mark" skill and the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill" martial arts, Shen Qing shot eight arrows in succession, each hitting its mark without fail.

The eight people charging forward, regardless of their noble identities and high status in the past, were all equal in front of these arrows.

There was no chance of luck.

After experiencing brief pain, they began to enjoy the blissful afterlife.

Eight of the nine bosses died in one go!

From beginning to end, they hadn't even touched Shen Qing's clothes, dying in utmost frustration.

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Xu was completely dumbfounded.

He never imagined that in less than a stick of incense's time, he would be the only one left.

Shen Qing's arrows defied logic, such bow technique overturned his understanding of archery!

He had never seen such arrows, capable of killing Dan Realm martial artists with just one shot.

Every arrow was a kill shot, making it impossible for them to evade.

Looking at the bodies covering the ground, Zhou Xu felt chills down his spine.

Run!

He must run!

As soon as he thought of this, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shen Qing taking another arrow from the arrow quiver, sensing a huge crisis, his entire body hair stood on end.

Zhou Xu saw the arrows Shen Qing shot clearly, the terrifying accuracy and unsettling power left him with no confidence.

Although his cultivation was slightly stronger than the heads of the other families, it was obviously not to an extreme degree.

That one arrow, he might not be able to defend against it.

Zhou Xu observed that after the initial skirmish, the distance between the two sides had been pulled to an incredibly small distance, less than two or three four meters.

At such a distance, he only needed to rush a little to reach Shen Qing, while escaping would make him a living target instead.

He had clearly fallen into a death trap.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Xu's face twisted: "When enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave wins, one cannot hope for luck to survive!"

Driven to a dead end, Zhou Xu chose to risk everything, intending to engage Shen Qing in hand-to-hand combat.

Generally, archers were not skilled in hand-to-hand combat; he might still have a chance to grasp a sliver of hope.

"Kill!"

Zhou Xu mustered all his strength, using every ounce of effort, and swiftly approached Shen Qing, lunging forward.

His temples were covered in disheveled white hair, his face showing a frenzied expression.

Seeing this, Shen Qing's gaze hardened slightly.

He realized that the distance in front of him was too close to use an arrow, so he quickly put away his longbow, unfolding his stance like a beast ready to pounce for the kill.

With a flicker of thought, Shen Qing's "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill" started circulating wildly within him.

Spiritual power surged like torrents of water rushing backward again and again.

Quickly, his aura multiplied tenfold, reaching an astonishing and horrifying realm.

Almost simultaneously, Shen Qing clashed palms with Zhou Xu.

"Boom!"

A powerful energy surge exploded between the two.

Zhou Xu's face lit up with joy: "There's hope."

Once again, he lunged forward.

Seeing Zhou Xu getting closer, Shen Qing, after a brief respite, regained his composure. He formed a seal with his hands, red-gold light filling the space between his arms.

A force of world-destroying might burst forth from his palms, quickly forming a massive red-gold Sky Flipping Seal.

This Sky Flipping Seal was enormous, like a star falling from the sky, carrying an unstoppable might, crashing down toward Zhou Xu.

Seeing this, a fierce glint flashed in Zhou Xu's eyes.

His muscles tensed, roaring as he leaped towards the flipping sky seal like a giant beast.

Shen Qing's Sky Flipping Seal slammed into Zhou Xu's head, making him see stars and his Qi-blood churned, almost fainting.

If not for his solid foundation, he would likely have collapsed on the ground.

"How is it possible?!"

Zhou Xu was horrified, never imagining that Shen Qing's physical body was already so frighteningly strong.

He couldn't understand why the same Dan Realm had such a huge gap.

In the face of life and death, there was no time for doubt. With no reservations, he resisted with all his spiritual power against the golden brilliance of the sky seal.

However, under the tenfold power of the flipping sky seal, Zhou Xu's physical body could not withstand it.

His skull had already been crushed, blood streaming.

Zhou Xu relied solely on his last ounce of spiritual power for support.

Unfortunately, Shen Qing's "Whale Swallowing Technique" had achieved some success, with spiritual power flowing endlessly, showing no signs of exhaustion.

This filled Zhou Xu with despair.

He was facing a monster without any flaws, whether in close combat or at a distance.

Boom!

The Sky Flipping Seal struck fiercely again, and Zhou Xu could not hold on any longer, being smashed onto the ground alive.

"Ah!"

Zhou Xu let out a miserable scream.

The red-gold light completely engulfed his figure, dust flying, stones splintering.

When the light dissipated, the ground was a mess.

Zhou Xu lay quietly there, no longer breathing.

The esteemed patriarch of the Zhou Family was dead!

The world returned to deathly silence.

On the ground, traces of blood were everywhere.

Looking around, Shen Qing saw that the nine once-imposing bosses had all been slain, with nearly every family now in mourning.

Shen Qing found it hard to believe that he had killed the heads of nine of the Thirteen Noble Families in Yongzhou in one go.

At that moment, he felt an eerie sense of unreality about these people, as if in a dream.

Unknowingly, he had acquired terrifying combat power, standing above these people.

"Hahaha." Shen Qing felt an immense joy, his thoughts clear, full of confidence in his power: "This Yongzhou, seems to be just a puppet show, and those incompetent leaders will find it not so easy to seize power."

Shen Qing collected his thoughts and walked forward.

"These family heads might carry many valuable items, not to be missed."

He walked to the corpse of the nearest middle-aged man, crouching down to search through his belongings.

While searching, Shen Qing noticed the man's clothes were luxurious and seemed extremely valuable.

But they had been pierced by his arrows, rendered tattered and worthless.

Shen Qing showed no interest.

His hands kept searching, finding quite a few gold ingots, Wish Power Pearls, and silver notes.

Moreover, Shen Qing also found the Refining Pearl Technique they carried with them.

Shen Qing was not surprised.

The Great Zhou Ji Family's previously strict guard had long been riddled with holes by these people.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Shen Qing unexpectedly found a Jade Token with no carvings.

He carefully examined it in his hand, finding no clues or leads.

Shen Qing didn't think much of it and casually stored it.

Subsequently, he did not miss checking the others, going through them all, and gained substantial rewards.

To his surprise, each person had, without exception, left behind a trace-free Jade Token, leaving him puzzled.

"These people are all family heads, with prominent status. Carrying these must have some significance, likely plotting something."

Shen Qing speculated internally.

Boom!

Within Yongzhou City, a strong wave of demonic power surged outward.

He stopped speculating, hurriedly stacked all the Jade Tokens, placed them in his chest, glanced around, and dashed towards the west.
