Chapter 201: One Arrow Shatters the Coffin, Going Crazy
“Precious bow, you’ve been in my hands for nearly two years. Today, you can finally show your might.”
Atop the tower, Lu Qing gently stroked the longbow, recalling how he first acquired it.
He hadn’t forged the longbow; it had been discovered by Xiao Li two years earlier while gathering herbs in the mountains.
It was found near the same unnamed valley where he and Wei Shanhai had sparred the day before.
Later, he learned that the bow belonged to Tong Canglang, the disciple of Wang Cangyi who had pursued Ma Gu.
To quickly kill Ma Gu, Tong Canglang had temporarily hidden the bow, which hindered his speed, in a tree.
He had intended to retrieve it after killing Ma Gu, but Lu Qing slew him instead.
The bow’s whereabouts were unknown.
If it weren’t for Xiao Li’s uncanny intuition, the longbow, which he had stumbled upon while gathering herbs with Lu Qing,
would have been corroded by rain in just two years.
After obtaining the longbow, Lu Qing used his supernatural powers to examine it, discovering it to be a truly rare and precious bow.
Its main components were crafted entirely from materials from a rare beast called the White-Horned Wild Bull.
Its quality, revealed by his supernatural powers, revealed a rich red glow tinged with a hint of gold, giving it the faintest hint of a divine weapon.
To protect such a precious bow, Lu Qing asked the Wei family to obtain several archery manuals for him to cultivate.
With the help of his supernatural powers, he smoothly mastered these manuals, cultivating his archery skills to the level of Grandmaster.
Later, after attaining the realm of [Intention], his archery skills advanced further, and he also grasped the Intention of the Arrow.
“Old woman, you expect that scum Zheng Yu to enjoy the incense of thousands? It won’t be that easy.”
“Isn’t it a heart-breaking strategy? You’re not the only one who understands this.”
Lu Qing’s gaze was stern, gazing at the Zheng Mansion a few hundred meters ahead.
He then took a deep breath, and the soul talisman in the acupoint between his eyebrows moved slightly, suppressing all emotions in his mind and bringing a sense of clarity.
He then drew from his Qiankun Qi bag a precious arrow he had forged himself, made primarily of refined iron.
He bent his bow, the arrow shaped like a full moon, poised to release.
Lu Qing’s qi and blood surged like a furnace, containing immense power.
But these fluctuations were easily masked by the soul talisman, drawing no attention.
Even with everything brewing, Lu Qing didn’t immediately release the string.
Instead, he closed his eyes slightly, clearing his mind, sensing the currents around him.
After a few breaths, his eyes suddenly opened, a glint of light flashing, and he looked ahead at the Zheng Mansion.
The next moment, his qi and blood surged, and his fingers loosened.
With a loud bang, the air in front of Lu Qing exploded, and in a flash, the arrow vanished from the bow.
Boom!
Almost at the same time, a loud bang was heard from the mourning hall of the Zheng Mansion.
Accompanied by bursts of exclamations and screams.
Until then, a long stream of white mist appeared in front of Lu Qing, connecting the space between him and the Zheng Mansion, and slowly dissipated.
“What’s the noise!”
The old woman of the Zheng family, who was originally talking to the chief steward of the City Lord’s Mansion in the garden, was shocked when she heard the loud noise coming from the mourning hall. She
no longer cared about the chief steward Wang, and her momentum burst out. In a breath, she had already reached the mourning hall.
However, the scene before her made her almost unable to believe her eyes.
She saw that the mourning hall, which was in good condition before, was now in a mess and in great chaos.
Most importantly, the luxurious coffin that contained Yu’er had been blown to pieces, and the corpse inside was also blown to pieces, leaving no trace of the body.
Looking at the shattered coffin, the Zheng family’s elderly wife felt a sudden blackness before her eyes, her body swaying slightly, and she almost lost her balance.
Butler Wang, who had arrived shortly after, was equally stunned by the scene.
He couldn’t understand why the mourning hall had been in such a state after he and the Zheng family’s ancestor had been away for so long.
“Who did this?!”
Fortunately, the Zheng family’s elderly wife was a powerful Xiantian realm cultivator. Her will was strong, and the power of her mind surged, forcing her to steady herself.
At the same time, an endless chill erupted from her.
Her gaze was icy, as if she was ready to devour anyone.
“Grandfather, we don’t know either. Young Master Yu’s coffin suddenly exploded!”
A guard cried out, clutching his arm.
He was one of the guards guarding the coffin. When the coffin exploded, he hadn’t been able to dodge in time, and a wooden plank had injured his arm.
But by then, he had forgotten his arm.
As a guard, he had no idea how Young Master Yu’s coffin had been damaged.
He already had a premonition of his fate.
Remembering the fate of his colleagues who had previously failed to protect Young Master Yu, the guard was filled with endless fear.
As expected, the old woman’s gaze suddenly turned cold when she saw that he didn’t even know how the coffin had been damaged.
“Mother, someone is attacking from a distance, using a bow and arrow. Look!”
At this moment, the figure of the Zheng family head emerged from behind the mourning hall and spoke in a deep voice.
He handed a long arrow to the old woman.
“Just now, this thousand-refined arrow flew in from outside the mansion and hit Yu’er’s coffin directly, destroying the coffin and Yu’er’s body, and then pinning it to the back of the mourning hall.”
The Zheng family head’s tone was filled with shock.
He couldn’t imagine what kind of archery skills could have such powerful power, capable of blasting the sturdy coffin with a single arrow from such a distance.
If this arrow had not been aimed at Zheng Yu’s coffin, but at someone in the mansion, I’m afraid no one except the old ancestor would have been able to resist it.
“It was a bow and arrow, which means that the man is still in the city?”
However, the old woman’s focus was completely different from that of the Zheng family head.
Seeing the long arrow handed over by her son, murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and her aura burst out, and she immediately disappeared in the mourning hall.
A moment later, her figure appeared on the highest roof of the mansion, her eyes swept around.
Soon, she saw wisps of white mist in the sky, about to disappear.
Following the direction of the white mist, she saw at a glance the figure standing on the high tower.
“It’s you!”
Looking at the longbow in the figure’s hand, the old woman knew that it was this person who destroyed her Yu’er’s coffin and body.
Seeing that the old woman had discovered him, Lu Qing grinned.
“Old witch, you’ve been trying every possible way to lure me out, haven’t you? Now I’m standing right in front of you, what can you do to me?”
“You want to sacrifice a living person to be buried with your grandson, and have everyone worship him and pray for him?”
“I’ll completely destroy his body right now, and he’ll never be reborn. What can you do to me?”
“You little beast! You’re courting death! I swear I won’t be a human being if I don’t kill you today!”
Hearing Lu Qing’s heartbreaking question, the old woman of the Zheng family was furious and screamed wildly.
