Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Boom—

The residual force of the arrow dispersed, and the peahen's corpse slid down from the cliff rapidly, before finally crashing onto the ground with a thud.

Amidst the huge tremor, the group snapped back to reality, their eyes filled with shock. That last shot was, they knew not how much faster than the arrow fired by Yan Xingkong, and its power was incomparably greater.

Only such terrifying might truly deserved the formidable reputation of the Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow!

Xiao Qiangwei, meanwhile, was astonished by the strength contained within Shen Yi's slender body, even more fearsome than she had expected! Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

With sheer physical strength alone, he had managed to draw the bow to seven-tenths full draw, just like General You.

If he dealt with demons using the bow without resorting to other methods, there was no difference between him and You Longtao himself taking action.

"..."

The death of the female visibly sobered up the old demon.

At the instant the young man pulled the bowstring for the second time, it flapped its wings in a frenzy, no longer daring to entertain any thoughts of a direct confrontation. The Qinglin feathers between its wings shimmered with light, and the dozens of zhang wide invisible undulations appeared slow but actually sliced through the air, instantly reaching the peak where the young man stood.

Crack!!

The tall cliff was vertically split in half, and at the same time, Shen Yi also released his fingers again.

The piercing whistling sound exploded in the Secluded Valley, the blinding white light aimed straight at the Great Demon desperately fleeing through the sky, then heavily bombarded its tail. The long and elegant tail feathers scattered across the sky, destroyed along with the bare remains of its lower half.

The old demon flailed, drenched in blood plasma, and even in agonizing pain, it dared not make a sound, striving to maintain a steady form and not fall down.

It swung out two more invisible undulations, but in such a panicked and helpless state, they did next to nothing but further fragment the mountain peak.

Wait! Wait until he is exhausted!

The Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow possessed an amazingly formidable force, but the physical energy it consumed was likewise not something an ordinary person could sustain.

So long as this newcomer lost strength, the battle was far from over!

The huge peacock body whirled through the Secluded Valley like a wild wind, the blood it shed dyeing the entire firmament red.

Witnessing this scene,

Shen Yi pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat uncertain.

He had never dabbled in archery, and though he could manage to shoot without missing when targeting stationary objects, relying on his keen eyesight and perfect control over his bodily strength, to shoot a Condensation Elixir Completion demon fleeing at full speed was truly terrifying.

After some thought, he impassively aimed the white beam of the arrow, charged and ready on the longbow, at the effeminate young man with wings for arms.

Kong Jing, locked by the boundless sharp Qi, froze completely: "..."

What in the world was this wicked and heretical way, starting off by dealing with one's wife and children when slaying demons.

The father might be able to dodge, and even if hit, not necessarily die, but he himself did not possess that kind of strength.

"You shameless man!" The Great Demon in the sky also sensed something was amiss and let out an extremely angered roar. It looked down at Kong Jing, eyes falling on the two green and crimson feathers on his arms and ultimately could not bear to abandon these two precious plumes.

The humongous demon body suddenly descended, enveloping Kong Jing in its wings, and just as it was about to soar upwards again, an arrow Shen Yi had long been prepared to release was suddenly shot out.

The sturdy feathers capable of withstanding the Dual Polarity Dao Sword were easily penetrated by the white light, the flesh beneath the feathers crumbled like tofu into bits.

The old demon's speed abruptly slowed, and before it could react, the second arrow, fired later, reached it and blasted it a hundred zhang away.

It had long been prepared to endure a hit from an arrow, confident that a demon's body at the peak of Condensation Elixir Completion could not be brought down by one strike, but it had not anticipated at all that the opponent could fire two arrows in quick succession without stopping!

Then came the third arrow, the fourth arrow...

Shen Yi seemed to have never played with such a fine instrument before, shooting arrow after arrow without a hint of exhaustion, each one faster than the last.

It was only when he noticed that the light of the Sky Dome Sunslayer Bow in his hand had dimmed slightly,

that he reluctantly let go of the bowstring with a sense of longing.

Meanwhile, at the edge of Secluded Valley, the old peacock had its wings shattered, its body peppered with terrifying blood holes, resembling a gnawed chicken carcass, its neck proudly arched as it death-stared the figure in dark robes.

The spark of life in its eyes rapidly dwindled until it vanished completely.

Within its tattered wings, a figure trembled and curled up, having just lifted its head to look around, before it was quietly immobilized by the shadow of two Dao Swords, neither as solid as the ones from before.

Master Pure Yang and Master Cleansing Tranquility walked forward without giving their prey a chance to resist, yet they also spared them a direct killing blow.

Demon catchers have the habit of personally collecting heart's blood in exchange for achievements.

It was not until this moment that they understood why Officer Shen was solely responsible... His consecutive shooting had left the two old Daoists dumbfounded, showing that General You did not take this matter lightly.

It was clear that his attention was just short of coming over in person.

Even within the entirety of Tingyang County, Officer Shen's strength would rank within the top three.

Xiao Qiangwei approached as well, and seeing the astounded expressions of the two old men, she felt a surge of joy within her heart, but upon stealthily glancing at the figure atop the collapsed mountain, she became somewhat uneasy and repressed her happiness.

...

Shen Yi put the longbow away inside the Silver Bell at his waist.

He turned and walked towards the pile of chaotic rocks, casually flipped a few aside, and dragged out a figure that was barely alive.

He squatted down slightly and flipped Yan Xingkong over.

With no opportunity given to the other party to speak, his palms struck out in quick succession, the blows even harsher than before.

In the blink of an eye, he shattered the man's legs, sealed the major arteries throughout his body, and finally locked down his energy sea with a palm strike.

"Can you still run?" he asked.

"..." Yan Xingkong, realizing the young man's earnest demeanor, grasped that the question was not mockery but a serious inquiry.

His disheveled face filled with bitterness, he shook his head; under such techniques, not even a deity could escape, let alone himself who was nothing more than a thief.

"Your things," Shen Yi said indifferently, extending his hand.

Yan Xingkong was stunned for a moment before realizing why the man had left him one arm capable of movement. With great effort, he reached to his waist, took out an ordinary-looking small cloth bag, and from it, he retrieved a palm-wide golden page.

Engraved upon it was none other than the supreme treasure of Baiyun Temple, the Dual Polarity True Intent.

Shen Yi glanced at it briefly, his expression unchanged, and put it away: "You should know what's in store for you."

He didn't have much of an opinion about Yan Xingkong. Although he was led around for many days, which inevitably caused some annoyance, the trip had been quite rewarding, and the man had come out to warn him at one point, showing no real intent to take his life.

Unfortunately, other people's lives also matter.

The two old Daoists of Baiyun Temple and the Silver Bell Demon Catcher of the Demon-suppression Bureau had almost been killed outside Qingzhou; all these incidents could only be accounted for with life.

"Yan acknowledges this," Yan Xingkong responded, seemingly well-prepared for his fate. He turned his head toward the two demons in the distance, a feeling of vindication flooding his eyes. Even though he had known Shen Yi was powerful, he had never expected that even a Great Demon at Condensation Elixir Completion would fall so easily to him.

He suppressed the tumult in his mind and then guiltily looked at the young man: "Had it not been for brother coming..."

"That's not what I meant," Shen Yi extended his hand again. "Hiring me requires some payment. Since you don't have a future anyway, you might as well be generous."

Yan Xingkong was slightly taken aback but quickly understood the young man's meaning. He shook the cloth bag a bit, spilling out a thin book of Martial Arts Techniques: "I don't keep possessions overnight. This is the only thing I've always carried with me; I hope you won't find it too little."

Shen Yi took it and put it into the Silver Bell, then dragged the man towards the interior of Secluded Valley.
