Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 334: Chapter 136: Wind-Thunder Arrow and Chasing Soul Arrow! When the Arrow Flies, Stars Fall!_3

Su Changkong’s display of archery now linked the dots for Hong Zhenxiang. He understood that the hidden master who had killed the Chen family’s brothers righteously was Su Changkong!

“I was puzzled about where such an expert had sprung from, without a whisper of news…” Hong Zhenxiang was also somewhat speechless, Su Changkong’s concealment had been too profound!

However, this was undoubtedly a good thing. If Su Changkong could restrain that ‘Chasing Soul Arrow’, they would be able to deal with these traitors without any pressure.

“Crack! Crack!”

Su Changkong repeatedly drew his bow, shooting towards Xiao Bili who was hundreds of meters away. Xiao Bili dodged in advance, avoiding the arrows which all contained terrifying power, imbued with the might of wind and thunder, piercing through large trees and sending wood chips flying.

“Close the distance, the closer I get, the harder it will be for him to dodge!”

Su Changkong thought to himself without hesitation, unfurling his movements like a bird in flight as he closed in on Xiao Bili’s position from afar, crossing dozens of meters in just a few breaths and charging into the woods.

“Die!”

Xiao Bili’s eyes blazed with a cold light. Both being Martial Artists at a high level of the Refining Blood Realm, even in the dark of night, they could easily discern each other’s whereabouts. Xiao Bili pushed his Archery to the limit, his Chasing Soul Arrows drawing curves as they shot towards Su Changkong.

Xiao Bili’s Chasing Soul Arrows were extremely clever, characterized by locking onto the enemy’s Qi, making it difficult for them to dodge, almost as if they were tracking targets.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Su Changkong didn’t dodge, nor did he need to. He shot arrow after arrow in rapid succession, each strike meeting the other in mid-air, the clash of metal echoing incessantly, sparks flying everywhere!

Su Changkong’s Wind Thunder Archery had reached the eighth realm of Transcendental mastery, both Wind Thunder Silent and Wind Thunder Linked Beads were at his fingertips!

Su Changkong’s Archery was straightforward and direct, lacking the strange, exquisite variations of Xiao Bili. Yet, it was precisely because of this that, characterized by speed and power, these two facets were sufficient!

“Boom! Boom!”

Xiao Bili felt his scalp tingle because Su Changkong’s shooting speed was faster; for every three arrows Xiao Bili shot, Su Changkong could fire four to five. This completely suppressed him, all his arrows were shot down, while Su Changkong took advantage of the gaps to shoot at him. Relying on his Qinggong, Xiao Bili dodged in advance, but the tremendous disturbance created by the powerful Wind-Thunder Arrows, blasting trees apart and breaking plants, was startling.

If one were to be hit directly by an arrow, would there be any life left?

“Increase the distance?”

Xiao Bili ground his teeth and likewise unfurled his Qinggong, fleeing into the distance.

This was a tactic belonging to divine archers, shooting from a range while increasing the distance, commonly known as kite-flying. Even if the opponent’s Martial Arts Cultivation was deeper, if they couldn’t reach you and could only suffer hits, one misstep could be fatal.

But this tactic was useless against an opponent like Su Changkong. If Xiao Bili fled, Su Changkong would pursue. They would always be within each other’s shooting range unless one of them perished, the chase wouldn’t stop!

The pursuer and the pursued had already covered over ten miles. During that time, they had exchanged dozens of arrows and appeared evenly matched.

Yet Xiao Bili’s forehead was beaded with sweat. “Is this kid… a monster? His True Qi is so robust? After releasing dozens of arrows, not a hint of weakness?”

Su Changkong’s Wind-Thunder Arrows were immensely powerful and should have consumed a great amount of energy, but Su Changkong’s Inner Strength was profound. His ninth realm Turtle Breath Technique combined with the eighth realm Giant Whale Skill was enough to support him in firing hundreds of arrows without fatigue, even if he were to exhaust all his arrows.

Although Xiao Bili’s Martial Arts Cultivation was not weak, he was best at Archery. His level of Inner Strength was far from matching Su Changkong’s, and he began to falter.

“So this is how it is… using a clever force to make the arrows turn just the slightest bit, let me give it a try!”

While confronting Xiao Bili, Su Changkong was studying his techniques of shooting arrows. Su Changkong had an extremely high potential, and his perception was astonishing. Having seen Xiao Bili release dozens of arrows, he also gained some insight.

“Swoosh!”

Su Changkong fired another arrow, but this arrow didn’t travel in a straight line as before; instead, it traced an arc in the air, skillfully avoiding the trees in its path and shooting towards Xiao Bili.

“Huh?”

This arrow, differing greatly from the previous ones, clearly caught Xiao Bili off guard. He hastily bellowed in anger, his arm’s veins popping as the muscles swelled in a circle, and with the bow in his hand as a weapon, he attempted to block the incoming arrow shot from a tricky angle.

“Tss!”

The arrow was forcefully deflected off its intended target, but it still grazed Xiao Bili’s left shoulder, leaving behind a deep wound that reached the bone.

“It’s time to end this! Kill him!”

And a sharp glint flashed in Su Changkong’s eyes—he meant to end this battle! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Changkong reached behind to his quiver and pulled out an arrow, made entirely of metal, silver-white in color with strands of star patterns twining around it—the Star Pattern Gold Arrows!

Originally, when Su Changkong robbed Pei Chen, he had remelted the Treasure Sword and the armor that contained a large amount of Star Pattern Gold, upgrading all of his equipment in one go, and the leftover Star Pattern Gold was used to create 12 extravagantly luxurious Star Pattern Gold Arrows.

“Buzz!”

In Su Changkong’s Dantian, the Blade-shaped Gang Qi resonated, a strand of Blade Gang Qi traveled up his inner channels, infusing the arrow with power that caused it to hum and tremble incessantly.

Blade Gang Qi could adhere to blade edges or even palms, but it was difficult to cause damage when separated from the body. Yet, Su Changkong could attach it to an arrow for long-distance attacks, exponentially increasing its might to a terrifying level!

The power of Blade Gang Qi was so great that ordinary arrows couldn’t bear it and would shatter instantly, but arrows made of Star Pattern Gold could withstand it perfectly and carry the Blade Gang Qi without issue.

“Crack!”

Another arrow shot forth, carrying with it Blade Gang Qi – the Star Pattern Gold Arrow blasted off at a speed twenty to thirty percent faster than before, producing a shocking explosive sound as the metallic gleam at the tip of the arrow seemed impregnable!

“Not good!”

Xiao Bili’s pupils dilated in fear as he sensed a mortal threat. In this critical moment, all his latent abilities were triggered. While retreating backwards, he repeatedly drew his bow and launched arrows—three in rapid succession, each from a different angle, to meet the mighty arrow carrying the force of wind and thunder.

“Bang bang bang!”

But this was like trying to stop a car with a mantis’s arm. The three arrows that made contact with the Blade Gang Qi-infused Star Pattern Gold Arrow immediately collapsed and burst apart, unable to halt or alter the trajectory of the devastating arrow that continued its relentless assault on Xiao Bili!

“No!”

Realizing the peril, Xiao Bili issued an unwilling roar, finding it hard to accept this outcome.

It would have been one thing to be killed by someone else, but to die in the area he was most proficient and proud of—to be defeated and killed in archery!

This was a conclusion Xiao Bili could never have imagined or accepted, no matter what.

“Crack!”

But no matter how reluctant he was, it could not change the arrival of death. Accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing, a bowl-sized hole was blasted through Xiao Bili’s chest. His body flew backwards and only came to a halt after the Star Pattern Gold Arrow carrying him crashed into a tree thick as a man’s waist, breaking it in two.

Xiao Bili’s eyes bulged, blood spilling from his mouth—a mortal wound. He opened his mouth as if to say something.

“Pfft!”

The next second, Su Changkong fired another arrow, piercing through Xiao Bili’s head, not even giving him the chance to scream, as he fell dead on the spot!
