Chapter 225: Chapter 106: Wind Thunder Linked Beads! An Unprecedented Powerful Enemy!_4
“That Gong Ba, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but loudly exclaim, ‘Excellent archery!’”
Su Changkong’s archery skills are hard to match by anyone in Ink Forest Prefecture City.
Just by relying on the 7th realm’s Wind Thunder Archery and the robust True Qi of the Turtle Breath Technique, Su Changkong alone is enough to become renowned in Ink Forest Prefecture City!
“It’s a trivial skill, not worth mentioning. Commander Gong’s blade technique is also not bad,” Su Changkong said modestly.
Gong Ba let out a hearty laugh, “Gang Leader Sikong, I thank you for your assistance today. If you have the chance, come to Ink Forest Prefecture City and find me. We’ll have a good drink together!”
Gong Ba was shaken inside. This Sikong Yong was even more capable than he had imagined. Such a person, if an enemy, must be utterly annihilated; if not an enemy, then one must fully strive to pull him to one’s side and befriend him.
Gong Ba had also heard that there seemed to be some grudges between the Gong Family and the Giant Whale Gang recently. When he returned, he must make his family pay more attention to this matter and aim for peace if possible!
“Sure thing,” said Su Changkong, preparing to say his goodbyes with some polite banter before planning to leave the place.
“Who’s there!”
But at this moment, a challenging shout came from the soldiers of the Ink Forest Army in the distance of Maple Leaf Forest.
“Another demon monster?” This shout also drew the attention of Su Changkong and Gong Ba.
Looking up, they saw an old figure hunched over and short, swaying out from the depths of Maple Leaf Forest. This made the nearby armored soldiers immediately alert and questioning. A stranger appearing here was extremely suspicious and was very likely to be a demon monster!
“Oy… I ate my fill and took a nap… My head is so dizzy…”
However, the hunched figure uttered a hoarse and slightly confused voice.
“It’s not a demon monster?” Many soldiers were astonished to hear this voice.
They knew that demon monsters were not highly intelligent, no different from wild beasts and only capable of making simple sounds. But the words spoken by the hunched figure were coherent.
And looking closely, this figure differed from previous demon monsters—they saw a hunched old man with white hair, his hair a mess and half his teeth missing, seemingly very ordinary.
But no one was careless; the appearance of this white-haired old man was too abnormal!
“Hmm?”
At this moment, a soldier was stunned. He saw the white-haired old man’s footsteps treading over some plants, which withered into gray, crumbling to ash within a short time!
“Kill him!”
The pupils of the other soldiers shrunk, sensing something was wrong, and they let out angry roars, swinging their blades at the old man with white hair.
“Would you really strike down an old man with such brutality?” A strange light flashed in the old man’s eyes, and a skinny arm swung out.
“Swoosh!”
That skinny arm, as fast as lightning and sharper than a divine weapon, cut through a series of sounds of swords snapping and armor being torn. The three soldiers who had swung their blades towards the old man with white hair had their swords broken, and their heads, still with looks of surprise on their faces, were thrown high into the air before crashing heavily to the ground!
“Damn it!”
Seeing his comrades dead, a soldier’s eyes turned red with rage. An armored soldier operated a Divine Arm Crossbow and pulled the trigger at the head of the white-haired old man.
“Thwack!”
A massive arrow, as thick as an arm, shot out, passing through the old man’s head—but it was just an afterimage.
The white-haired old man slightly shifted his head, and the arrow, faster than the speed of sound, grazed his cheek. Not just that, he reached out to catch the tail end of the arrow with pinpoint accuracy.
The white-haired old man cracked a smile, swinging his skinny arm, and the arrow, like an illusion, was thrown back, speeding in the opposite direction faster than it came!
“Thwack!”
The soldier operating the Divine Arm Crossbow didn’t have time to dodge and was impaled through the chest by the massive arrow. The tremendous force flung him back several meters, pinning him against a large tree.
“I ate enough tonight… don’t want to eat anymore…” sighed the white-haired old man with a troubled expression, licking the blood that had spattered onto his palm.
“Step back! Don’t go near him!”
Gong Ba roared, his face more serious than ever before, his gaze fixed on the swaying old man with white hair.
The other soldiers also realized that the white-haired old man was a formidable opponent well beyond their imaginations. They each held their weapons tight, following Gong Ba’s command, not daring to make a move.
“What is this creature? A demon monster? Why does it give me such a spine-chilling feeling!”
Su Changkong, too, focused intently on the hunched white-haired old man, his pupils filled with solemnity and astonishment.
It was because Su Changkong’s heart was beating uncontrollably fast, all the pores of his body unconsciously opened wide—as if this hunched old man in front of him was some kind of ferocious beast, and his instincts alerted him to extreme danger, causing involuntary subtle fluctuations in his body!
“Halt!”
The hunched old man was already within ten steps when Gong Ba couldn’t help but shout a warning.
The white-haired hunched old man actually stopped in his tracks, rubbing his eyes, appearing as if he had just woken up, and sized up Gong Ba. He couldn’t help but admire, “Your heart beats powerfully, with Qi and Blood within your body coiling like a dragon! You’d be within the top ranks of Martial Artists in Ink Forest Prefecture City! I’d rather not engage in a fight with you for now!”
The hunched old man assessed Gong Ba with a glance, his gaze drifting around, sweeping over the crowd. His dull yellow eyes filled with the emotion of a wild animal sizing up its food, as if what he saw was not a group of people but a flock of delicious lambs.
And when the gaze of the old man crossed Su Changkong, it fixed, and a look of surprise that he couldn’t hide crossed his face, “Hm? You? Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”
