Chapter 69
69 A godly shot (1)
Xu Qi ‘an slowly glanced at his colleagues’ faces and said in a deep voice,”This is saltpeter.”
The name saltpeter was very unfamiliar to the few martial artists present who had not read much and lacked relevant knowledge.
Song tingfeng exchanged glances with his colleagues and asked with a frown, “”Saltpeter?” he asked.
Xu Qi ‘an thought about it and said,”I’ll change the name so that you’ll know more about it.” It’s the main material for making gunpowder.”
Everyone’s expression changed.
Gunpowder was a secret technique of Da Feng, and it was one of the means to intimidate the countries of the four Seas. As long as it was a formula or material related to gunpowder, Da Feng would have very strict control over it (mainly saltpeter).
Even a night watchman had a smattering of knowledge about the composition of gunpowder.
A saltpeter mine was found on the Yellow Mountain … There were also traces of mining … There was no smile on song tingfeng’s face anymore. He was unusually serious, “”Return to the capital immediately and report this.”
The discovery of the saltpeter mine was more important than the chaos caused by the demons.
Lu Qing stared at the gray-haired chief and ordered, “”Tie him up and take him away.”
There was actually a saltpeter mine on the great Yellow Mountain, and as the chief, he said that he knew nothing about it? No matter what, he had to bring her back for interrogation.
The two constables removed the rope from their waists, tied the chief’s hands behind his back, and escorted him out.
‘The chief probably doesn’t know about this, or he wouldn’t have brought us here. This doesn’t make sense …’ From his body language and other details, he didn’t seem like an insider. An uncultured old man couldn’t possibly be the Best Actor … The reason why the demons drove the Hades away was because of the saltpeter mine?
Uh … The possibility was not high, and a professional had to be invited to judge the mining time of the saltpeter mine before a judgment could be made.
Xu Qi ‘an combed through all kinds of thoughts, raised his torch, and stepped out of the cave. Lu Qing’s scream rang in his ears.”Be careful!”
At the same time, he heard a whistling sound as a black shadow shot from the side. It was so fast that he couldn’t react in time.
Bang! Bang!
The gong in his chest cracked open. Xu Qi ‘an felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed train. The powerful impact sent him flying, and his consciousness instantly fell into darkness.
The sudden attack caught everyone off guard, and they all made different responses.
The three bailiffs from the government office drew their sabers and military crossbows.
Zhu guangxiao swept his leg and kicked the inner elder into the cave. Song tingfeng pulled out his knife and shouted, “”Get in and don’t come out.”
On a huge rock on the side of the cave, there was a 20-foot-long monster. It looked like a salamander and was covered in thick armor.
It had a sharp horn on its forehead, and its amber eyes were shining with a cold and brutal light.
Its forelimbs had four toes.
Its cheeks were puffed up as if it was hiding a hidden weapon that could be shot out at any time.
“Pfft!”
A black shadow that was almost invisible to the naked eye shot out and headed straight for song tingfeng.
The latter’s eyes narrowed, and his body reacted faster than his brain. He instinctively leaned back and dodged the attack that pierced his heart.
Lu Qing lunged forward and continuously stomped on the rocks, causing the stone powder to fly up. He held the saber with both hands and slashed.
buzz … The blade vibrated at a high frequency.
“Ding ding ding …”
With a series of teeth-aching sounds, the blade cut the tip of his tongue, leaving a dazzling spark.
Only then did everyone see that the monster’s long tongue was covered with a layer of fine scales.
The monster seemed to feel the pain and retracted its tongue. It supported its huge body with its four limbs and stood on the Boulder, looking down at the crowd.
It opened its mouth wide and let out a deep roar.
The roars startled the wild birds in the forest, and they flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
Song tingfeng and the others were in a daze, as if someone had knocked them on the back of their heads.
The spirit-refinement realm … His heart trembled, and he forced himself to resist the dizziness. The hilt of the sword hit his chest.
Whoosh …
The loud and clear sound of the copper Gong was like the evening drum and morning bell. It offset the sound waves and brought clarity.
After the two of them got out of the trance, they immediately responded.
As Lu Qing retreated, he ordered his two colleagues who were at the peak of the spirit refinement realm, “”Use the military crossbows to attack its eyes, jaw, and mouth.”
These were all relatively soft places.
Song tingfeng took off the gong and threw it to Zhu guangxiao, “”You’re in charge of containing them from the front. Be careful.”
He had clearly seen Xu Qi ‘an’s broken Gong and knew that a Gong could not resist the tongue of a demon.
Thinking of Xu Qi ‘an, song tingfeng felt a little sad. Although the gong could withstand a full-force attack from a spirit-forging stage cultivator, the monster’s sneak attack had succeeded.
Caught off guard, Xu Qi ‘an’s heart could have been shattered by the remaining force. If they only worked for one day, it would be too tragic.
Song tingfeng controlled his emotions and ran with his sword, attacking the monster from the side.
The salamander’s amber eyes flickered, as if it was about to turn around and spit out its tongue. Zhu guangxiao beat it to the gong, shaking the demon’s spirit.
At the same time, he infused his Qi into the blade, and with a deep roar, he slashed out a thick blade Qi. The curved blade Qi swept out, and the air was distorted with high temperature.
The monster’s body was huge and it was impossible to Dodge. It lowered its head and used its hard forehead to resist the blade energy. Then, it wagged its tail as if it had eyes on the back of its head and hit song tingfeng with precision.
Song tingfeng blocked with his saber and his body flew backward.
On the other side, Lu Qing, who was pouncing over, seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster’s abdomen. It still dodged it as if it had predicted it.
Warriors and monsters in the spirit-forging realm had strong mental energy that could radiate to their surroundings and make the surrounding scenery appear in their minds.
Any form of tracking, ambush, targeting, or killing intent could not escape the detection of a spirit forging stage martial artist.
This was a unique ability of the spirit-forging stage.
…..
Oh my God, I almost died before. could even complete my mission.. finally managed to break through to the Qi refining stage. but. died in the line of duty before. could break through to the Virgin body … Xu Qi ‘an woke up after a short period of fainting.
He heard the intense sounds of battle in the distance, but he didn’t get up. Instead, he crawled forward and climbed to a high point without anyone noticing.
He took out the Jade Mirror in his arms, pulled the back, and poured out the military crossbow and bone-corroding poison that Song Qing had given him. After calmly applying the poison, he raised the military crossbow without a word, aimed at the demon, and waited for an opportunity.
Whoosh …
Zhu guangxiao struck the gong, shaking the demon’s primordial spirit and blinding his senses.
Just as Xu Qi ‘an was about to shoot, the demon suddenly turned over. Song tingfeng and the others were stunned, not knowing what it meant by this action.
…. Damn it, a sneak attack was useless against an expert in the spirit forging stage!
Knowing the real reason, Xu Qi ‘an cursed in his heart.
The safest way was to continue waiting and let song tingfeng and the others consume the demon, severely injure it, and lower its spiritual consciousness. Then, he would have the chance to use this military crossbow, a spiritual artifact that could kill a spirit-forging stage cultivator, to complete the beheading!
Soon, Xu Qi ‘an gave up on the idea …
Lu Qing was like a vigorous female leopard, running with her two strong long legs. With a tender cry, she finally stabbed the high-frequency vibrating tip of the knife into the demon’s abdomen.
Blood stained the blade, as if it had come into contact with a red-hot iron. It sizzled and steam rose.
The demon roared in pain. It tilted its head and its jaw moved, shooting out a black shadow.
Lu Qing’s face sank, and fear appeared on her beautiful face. She couldn’t avoid this attack.
At that moment, a figure pounced on her from the side, hugged her plump and strong body, and rolled to the side with her.
Song tingfeng came to the rescue and stabbed the monster’s soft abdomen. It forced it to be unable to pursue its companion.
Lu Qing felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, and the man’s heavy body was on top of her. Her breathing quickened, and when she saw the man on top of her, she blurted out in surprise, ”
“You didn’t die.”
“Almost,” Xu Qi ‘an grinned.
If it wasn’t for the heart protection mirror that Song Qing gave me …
Lu Qing was just about to speak when he saw the monster’s tail coming down from above. He quickly hugged Xu Qi ‘an and rolled with him.
Bang! Bang!
The place where the two of them had been lying was now filled with deep marks.
“We’re even.” Xu Qi ‘an smiled at her. The two of them separated and cooperated with song tingfeng to attack the demon.
The reason why he gave up on sneak attacks and chose to engage in battle was:Three Qi refining cultivators couldn’t even defeat a spirit refining monster.
In the end, it would be the demon that was not killed, and Xu Qi ‘an himself who would become the commander of the light.
Zhu guangxiao and song tingfeng’s eyes brightened when they saw that their companions had not died in the line of duty. They were secretly happy.
Xu Qi ‘an took out the bone-corroding poison and smeared it on the blade. He threw it to Lu Qing and said, “”Rub it on the blade.”
Lu Qing glanced at him, took a few steps back, and applied the poison. Then, he threw it to song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao.
Song tingfeng was more unlucky. When he was applying the poison, he was targeted and attacked by a demon. The long tongue brushed past his arm, and the scales scratched his flesh.
Lu Qing made a cut on the demon’s body, and the wound quickly turned black and began to emit a rancid smell. She looked at Xu Qi ‘an in surprise.”It’s effective!”
With the addition of Xu Qi ‘an, the four Qi refining realm cultivators joined forces and two essence refining realm cultivators shot arrows to interfere, the advantage was obvious.
Demons had endless physical strength and unparalleled eloquence.
However, its huge size and body structure made it impossible for it to move around as nimbly as human martial artists.
More and more injuries appeared on his body.
…..
“Be careful!” Xu Qi ‘an waved his saber and injected Qi into it. He split the demon’s tail and saved Lu Qing, who had traded injuries for injuries.
The web between his thumb and forefinger split open instantly, and blood flowed out.
He glared at Lu Qing,”do you not want to live anymore?” Why is a woman working so hard?”
Lu Qing stared at him, and for the first time, she had a bit of a woman’s coquettishness. “Yes.”
“Aohou …”
The demonic creature shook the air and once again exploded into a terrifying spiritual storm.
Xu Qi ‘an and the others were already prepared. They quickly retreated and put some distance between them to avoid being attacked by the long tongue.
Unexpectedly, after the demon forced everyone to retreat, it turned around and fled with its four claws flying …
It burrowed into the forest and rudely knocked down tree after tree, opening up a clear and rough path.
Lu Qing’s beautiful face turned pale. chase it! Don’t let it escape!
Once a demon entered the water, it would be difficult to eliminate it.
Song tingfeng leaped up and walked on the branches, like a martial arts master with excellent Qinggong.
He stepped hard on a tree trunk and flew into the air. He looked down at the entire forest. The muscles of his right hand, which was holding the knife, swelled and tore the loose sleeve.
“Ha!”
The saber shot out, drawing a silver light beam in the air.
A second later, the painful roars of the monsters came from the forest.
Song tingfeng was exhausted and fell into the forest.
Zhu guangxiao followed up. His Qinggong was not as good as song tingfeng’s, but his explosive power was not any weaker. He ran close to the ground and caught up with the demon. He roared and rushed into the sky, slashing at the demon.
Pa!
The monster with a knife in its back swept its tail and sent him flying before it continued to run for its life.
Lu Qing and Xu Qi ‘an were the only ones left chasing the monster. The female Constable, who was as strong and vigorous as a female leopard, bit the monster’s back. She did not fall, but she also did not catch up.
Soon, they were out of the forest. After chasing for a while, they could see the great river.
“Plop!”
The monster plunged into the river water, causing a splash.
In her disappointment, the valiant Female Constable caught a glimpse of Xu Qi ‘an leaping high into the air. He took off a military crossbow from his waist and pulled the trigger without aiming.
The moment the arrow was shot out, a powerful Qi fluctuation exploded.
The female Constable didn’t even catch the Arrow’s shadow before she heard the sound of it entering the water.
A few seconds later, a miraculous scene happened.
Blood-colored water rose from the surface of the river, and a twenty-foot-long monster slowly floated up.
Its cause of death was an arrow that had pierced through its head.
Lu Qing turned his head in a daze and looked at the young and tall night watchman.
“I’ve always been lucky,” Xu Qi ‘an shrugged.
