Chapter 335: Chapter 137: Blade Gang Shatters Blade Gang! Monster Warrior!_1
“It’s taken care of.”
Su Changkong let out a breath.
This Xiao Bili was actually a very troublesome character, who would immediately flee thousands of miles away upon sensing danger, only shooting at his targets from a distance. Even Hong Zhenxiang had not been able to capture him last time.
But unfortunately for him, he met Su Changkong, who was equally skilled in archery and directly shot him dead from afar!
“Let’s retrieve the arrows.”
Su Changkong walked over to Xiao Bili’s corpse. The other arrows were also fine, but the one made from Star Pattern Gold was valuable and could withstand the strength of his Blade Gang, not a one-time consumable, and needed to be retrieved!
“The bowstring on Xiao Bili’s black bow seems to be very high-grade; I wonder what material it’s made from. I should switch it to my bow later.”
Moreover, Su Changkong noticed Xiao Bili’s black bow, which was also extraordinary, especially the bowstring!
The quality of a bow is judged in two aspects: the body of the bow and the bowstring.
If there is no bowstring or the bowstring is poor, it’s difficult to shoot arrows.
Su Changkong planned to switch Xiao Bili’s bowstring onto his own Star Pattern Gold Strong Bow.
While Su Changkong was collecting the spoils of war, his heart suddenly clenched, sensing extreme danger!
This sense of danger was so great that even Su Changkong didn’t know where it came from.
“Turtle Breath Technique. Turtle Breathing Qi Armor!”
Without any hesitation, the Turtle Breathing True Qi inside Su Changkong’s body surged out, forming a pale blue Qi Armor that protected his entire body.
“Crack!”
Almost simultaneously, a pitch-black arrow of unknown material burst out of the darkness, silently striking Su Changkong’s back, exploding with terrifying power. The resulting blast created a wind as loud as thunder, shattering the Turtle Breathing Qi Armor on Su Changkong’s back. He staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
“Is this… Wind Thunder Archery?”
Amazement flickered in Su Changkong’s mind for a moment because the characteristics of this arrow—silent yet explosive as thunder—were clearly his own Wind Thunder Archery. Was someone attacking him with the same archery technique?
Su Changkong immediately turned to look back.
He saw a figure stepping out of the darkness.
This figure was extremely peculiar, neither tall nor short, but its entire body was shrouded in a layer of shadows, as if wrapped in a layer of black, opaque gauze, obscuring even their face.
Even more peculiar was the bow in his hand, which, resembling Su Changkong’s powerful bow in design, was made of a black gas that was still writhing.
It was obvious that the arrow just now had been shot by this black figure.
The figure could also perform Wind Thunder Archery? And not worse than him? This was beyond Su Changkong’s comprehension!
“Who are you?”
Su Changkong asked in a heavy voice, eyes narrowed, sensing the threatening aura emanating from this shadowy figure. This person was no ordinary being—a dangerous individual who had just attempted to assassinate Su Changkong!
The black figure tilted its head, looking at Su Changkong as if it was both curious and surprised, and spoke with some difficulty: “I… my name is Mo Ying… Did… you kill Xiao Bili?”
The figure, calling itself Mo Ying, had a hoarse voice, indistinguishable between male and female, and spoke in a stilted, difficult manner, as if unaccustomed to speaking.
“Is he also from the Black Lotus Sect?”
Su Changkong’s brows furrowed deeply. This person, who called themselves Mo Ying and was shrouded in darkness, and who mentioned ‘Chasing Soul Arrow’ Xiao Bili, was likely an accomplice of Xiao Bili’s and even a member of the Black Lotus Sect.
Mo Ying muttered to itself: “Should I kill him? He killed Xiao Bili… I must kill him… for revenge…”
Mo Ying seemed to have some abnormality in its sanity, talking to itself in a very strange manner.
“Kill him!”
A glint of killing intent flashed through the depths of Su Changkong’s eyes. This Mo Ying was too eerie, having attacked him with the same archery technique. If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, he would have died instantly. The opponent was an enemy, not a friend, so he had to be killed!
“Clang!”
Suddenly, Su Changkong took a step forward, instantly closing the distance between them, as he drew the Iron-Cutting Sword from his waist.
This stroke, with the Blade Gang concentrated within, was like a silver dragon breaking free from the shackles of its sheath. The Blade Gang, three to four inches thick, was condensed on the blade, splitting the air, leaving a trail that did not dissipate for a long time, aiming straight for Mo Ying’s neck.
Su Changkong couldn’t care less about why the opponent was so peculiar and strange. Once confirmed as an enemy, that was enough reason to slay!
“Pfft!”
The Blade Gang that Su Changkong had refined was several times more powerful than before, truly impregnable, and the blade moved effortlessly across Mo Ying’s neck, cleanly severing it.
Before Mo Ying’s head could fly off, fine black threads emerged from the severed neck, pulling the head back together, reattaching it to the neck. The wound vanished as if it had never been there.
“A demon monster?”
Su Changkong was instantly shocked, a hint of surprise and gravity in his eyes.
To be able to easily recover from decapitation was not an achievable state through martial training, but only a demon monster with an immortal body could do such a thing!
The demon monster Feng Mo had once demonstrated similar capabilities, shocking Su Changkong in his first encounter with a demon monster and placing immense pressure on him.
However, after Su Changkong developed his Blade Qi, he repeatedly killed and shredded Feng Mo, finally preventing him from reviving. He then realized that even demon monsters were not truly immortal and could indeed be slain.
Though demon monsters were dangerous, the Monster Martial Crystal Core within them was considered to be a treasure worth its weight in gold! The previous Monster Martial Crystal Core enabled Su Changkong to refine the Monster Martial Pill, which benefitted him greatly!
