Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

Upon hearing Yun Yichen's words, Shen Qing's expression turned serious as well.

He sensed an indescribable aura of authority radiating from the old man before him, different from those in the Qi Cultivation Realm martial masters, so he couldn't help but become fully alert.

Speaking of which, this was his first time facing off against a master of the Qi Hai Realm, and he dared not underestimate him.

Old man Yun Yichen sneered coldly.

As soon as his words fell, True Qi surged in the palm of his right hand, bursting forth with a dazzling brilliance akin to the first light of dawn, streams of golden light converged into a beam, with the force capable of destroying heaven and earth, he smashed it ferociously towards Shen Qing.

Shen Qing's complexion changed.

He felt Yun Yichen's attack bearing down like a mountain, where a single misstep could mean eternal doom, and couldn't help but experience a complex emotion woven of fear and excitement.

Yun Yichen, who was rapidly closing in, saw the threads of fear on Shen Qing's tense face and felt very satisfied with his reaction.

Good!

I hope you don't disappoint me!

The distance between the two rapidly diminished, and the wind from the strike hit them head-on.

Shen Qing inhaled sharply, his pupils dilating suddenly.

He could already sense the terrifying power contained within that radiant force.

So strong!

So terrifying!

If I were to be hit by this palm, I would surely be killed!

I don't want to die.

"So, kill him!"

In an instant, Shen Qing's face twisted fiercely.

At that moment, he cast aside all other thoughts, channeling the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill with all his might.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, originating from the Great Zhou Court's martial arts, was profound, capable of stacking the body's strength layer upon layer.

Hum!

The moment Shen Qing had the thought to activate it, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill was driven to the extreme, with the Qi Sea above churning tumultuously, and True Qi inside him rushing like a river.

It was as if countless real dragons were flipping over rivers and seas within him, completely throwing everything into chaos.

With each inversion of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, his power doubled.

Under Shen Qing's operation, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill reversed five times in one breath, amplifying his body's power fivefold.

Shen Qing was like a war god between heaven and earth, surrounded by True Qi so dense it was nearly tangible, with a towering aura.

With a roar that shook the skies, Shen Qing's palms came together without any reservation, as he exerted all his force, suddenly flipping the Sky Flipping Seal.

All worries and panic vanished in that moment, with a "Sky Flipping Seal" tearing through the air.

The True Qi surged wildly like a dragon emerging from the sea, carrying the force that could move mountains and overturn seas, and collided head-on with Yun Yichen's dazzling light palm.

At the moment of impact, the sound of thunder and booming noise interwove, as though the heavens and earth themselves had changed color.

Standing on the ground, Liu Sangui felt the squalls from the shockwave making it hard to keep his footing; had he not planted his knife into the ground, he would have been blown away.

The calm water under the bridge suddenly surged with waves several feet high.

A trace of incredulous horror flashed across Yun Yichen's eyes; he had never imagined that Shen Qing could unleash such a shocking and awe-inspiring force.

"How could this be?! This power... Ah... you lowly... foreigner!"

Bang!

The unstoppable might of the Sky Flipping Seal pierced through the brilliance in Yun Yichen's palm, enveloping him completely.

Moments later, as the dust settled, Yun Yichen was left shattered to pieces, with only half of his body remaining.

He lay disheveled on the ground, blood continuously pouring from his mouth.

Yun Yichen looked up at Shen Qing, wanting to use all of his remaining strength to curse out loud, but the blood welled up, blocking his throat, leaving him unable to utter a word.

He stared at Shen Qing with eyes filled with unwillingness.

Under Shen Qing's gaze, he slowly fell down with eyes wide open, swallowing his last breath.

Ah?

Dead?!

Gasping for air, Shen Qing stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, and couldn't help but lower his head to look at his own palm, feeling somewhat speechless.

He had never expected that even Yun Yichen, at Great Perfection of the Qi Hai Realm, couldn't withstand his full-powered strike.

By such reckoning, even a martial master at the higher Yu Luo Realm, he could also give a fight.

Now he had roughly assessed his own combat strength.

The corner of Shen Qing's mouth lifted involuntarily, revealing a carefree laugh as he covered his face.

At this moment, a strong sense of weakness and a wrenching pain in the Dantian washed over him like a tide.

The aftereffects of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill had arrived.

This time was somewhat different from the past.

The Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill had reversed his entire body's True Qi, not one but five times, nearly wreaking havoc on his meridians and Qi Sea.

There had not been much breakthrough and progress in the practice of the Blood Dominance Technique yet, it merely fortified Qi-Blood, and was somewhat insufficient in repairing the damage caused by the reversal of True Qi.

So it required him to endure it forcefully.

Fortunately, he had laid a solid foundation during his breakthrough to the Qi Hai Realm and possessed an extremely strong physical quality, ensuring that he wouldn't lose his ability to move.

Thus, Shen Qing stood in place, quietly regulating his breath as the faint Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth was absorbed by him.

Behind him, Liu Sangui watched this scene, slightly stunned.

At this moment Shen Qing appeared like a divine demon descending from the Nine Heavens, standing arrogantly amidst the scattered corpses, surrounded by a faint halo of light, exuding a transcendent aura that left Liu Sangui speechless for a long time.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Shen Qing had recovered some strength. He turned around and quickly searched through the corpses on the ground, before mounting a horse.

Awoken from a dream, Liu Sangui asked, "Lord officer, where are you heading to?"

Even Liu Sangui hadn't realized that his tone towards Shen Qing had become much more respectful than before.

Shen Qing picked up the reins and instructed in an even tone, "I'm going to take care of a minor issue. You deal with this place, then head to Changqiao Town to gather some information and see what the situation is exactly. I'll be right back."

"Let's go!"

Shen Qing gave a flick of the whip and galloped away.

Having come to the lands of Yongzhou, considering the abundance of skilled individuals, he had restrained his temper, avoiding trouble.

In addition, Guan Yunjian and another being of special identities, belonging to the house steward, he had let them be, planning to take care of them at a later date.

But now it seemed they were more anxious than he was.

In that case, don't blame me.

He had always liked to repay grievances and seek revenge for wrongs.

Sitting astride the horseback, Shen Qing's mind moved, activating the Eagle Eye Technique.

In an instant, the surroundings came alive in his mind.

Shen Qing saw two figures, sprinting towards the city, leaving billows of dust in their wake.

"Heading back to the city?!"

With a cold expression, Shen Qing immediately followed in hot pursuit.

Underneath the gate of Yongzhou City.

Guan Yunjian and Uncle Shu sped over, urging their horses on with the whip.

"Whoa!"

Stopping his horse, Guan Yunjian looked towards the city gate tower and said with an uplifted mood, "Considering the time, that Shen youngster's body should have been thrown into the river to feed the fish by now, right?"

"Even if he hasn't been fed to the fish, he surely isn't in much better shape. In front of so many martial masters, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would never stand a chance," Uncle Shu said with a smile, "But let's not worry about that for now. We better hurry up to find Dong Jing, Dong Chasi, to see if he is willing to take us in."

"Right, let's go."

After exchanging a few words, the two squeezed their horses' flanks and entered the city.
