Chapter 870: Broken Qi Bows
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was a commotion in the fortress. They all knew Bao Xun was the leader of the White Wolf Triad. He and their leader, the leader of the Tiger Head Triad were mortal enemies. The two sects had fought a lot for a long time.
However, no one expected that Bao Xun would head straight to the Tiger Head Mountain.
When a powerful martial artist charged, there was almost nobody there who could hold up against him other than the leader of the Tiger Head Triad.
“My Lord, I will help you deal with these lackeys. They are not worth your energy.”
Bao Xun chortled and charged at the fortress, killing everyone he met. The people who guarded the fortress were no match for him. The most powerful of them was only at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm.
Bao Xun usually would not dare to attack the Tiger Head Mountain alone. After all, the leader of the Tiger Head Triad was a martial arts grandmaster and his cultivation was slightly higher than Bao Xun. With the presence of the leader of the Tiger Head Triad, Bao Xun would naturally be a little wary.
However, it was different now. Mo Wen was here and the leader of the Tiger Head Triad was no threat to him.
Bao Xun quickly killed the guards and felt satisfied. He had not felt so pleased in a long time.
Mo Wen ignored the people from the Tiger Head Triad. The insignificant figures were not worth him killing them. He jumped onto the metal chain. With just a few jumps, he managed to cross several hundred feet and appeared on the other side of the peak.
There were only about ten people in the fortress. Bao Xun killed all of them in mere moments.
“My Lord, these are the points crystal. Please take them.”
Bao Xun jumped across the metal chain bridge and handed a bag of crystals to Mo Wen respectfully. There were still traces of blood on the crystals.
Mo Wen nodded. A jade pendant appeared in his hand, lit up with a ray of light. The ray of light shone on the crystals, and they melted into rays of light that entered the jade pendant.
The pendant made little clinking noises, and the numbers refreshed incessantly. Mo Wen gained several points in the blink of an eye.
“Who is this who dares to barge into the lands of the Tiger Head Triad.”
There was a large yell from behind the mountains. A figure appeared on the peak of the mountain. The person moved several hundred feet in mere moments and appeared in front of the metal chain bridge.
“Bao Xun, so it is you. How daring of you.”
The person was a strong and burly man. He was dressed in black from head to toe. While his clothes were slightly ratty, he was very neat compared to the others. Compared to Ba Xun, who was draped in a piece of leather, he looked much more civilized.
The man’s eyes glinted and a stunning power radiated from him. From his aura, one could tell that he was a martial arts grandmaster.
Without a doubt, he was the leader of the White Tiger Tribe. He was once one of the top three hundred criminals on the savages list.
Xu Tu saw that it was Bao Xun who had come to make trouble and was furious. Even though he and Bao Xun had never stopped fighting, they rarely went to each other’s spot to kill the other.
Bao Xun had come alone, and that was as good as dissing him.
Of course, Mo Wen was present as well, but Xu Tu ignored the young man straight away. It was evident that he thought Bao Xun was his greatest enemy.
“Xu Tu, it is time for you to die.” Bao Xun said with a cold smirk. He knew how powerful Mo Wen was. Even though Xu Tu was slightly more powerful than him, he was no match for Mo Wen.
“I think you are the one seeking death. Come, men, kill him. I am going to kill you today even if I am severely wounded.”
Xu Tu took one step forward and attacked decisively. Bao Xun had already come to him, what else was there to say.
“My Lord Mo Wen, this person’s cultivation levels are not low. How about we work together to kill him?” Bao Xun hurriedly turned to look at Mo Wen. It was obvious that he could not do anything to Xu Tu alone. Furthermore, they were on Xu Tu’s territory. In terms of location and his opponent, Bao Xun would definitely lose if he fought Xu Tu alone.
Xu Tu was shocked when he heard that and he turned to look at Mo Wen suddenly. He only truly noticed the youth then. He had seen Mo Wen earlier, but he had not cared. However, Bao Xun had addressed the young man as his lord. Xu Tu felt that something was not right.
“Just leave him to me. I will leave the others to you.” Mo Wen said lightly.
A large number of figures appeared on the peaks beside them while they were speaking. They were holding bows and arrows and surrounded the cliff completely. All of their arrows were pointed at Bao Xun and Mo Wen.
“Be careful, My Lord. Those are Broken Qi Bows and they can pierce through the defensive layer of your inner Qi and hit your physical body.”
Bao Xun’s expression changed slightly. He had heard a long time ago that the Tiger Head Triad had several Broken Qi bows. However, Xu Tu rarely used them. This was his first time seeing so many Broken Qi bows, and his expression turned grave.
Broken Qi bows were special. They could disregard the protective layer of inner Qi warriors had and attack the physical body directly. One could not defend against it, and even martial arts grandmasters would find it troublesome.
The Broken Qi bow was a special product of the Red Stone forest and was made with a special metallic mineral in the Red Stone forest. The metal could not only absorb the inner Qi of a warrior and explode with power but it could also break through the defensive layer of a warrior’s inner Qi easily. It’s attack powers were shocking.
The metallic mineral stones were rare in the Red Stone forest, so there were not many Broken Qi bows. Usually, only some of the larger factions would have them. Bao Xun did not know what kind of luck Xu Tu had to get so many Broken Qi bows.
“Bao Xun, you could have taken the easy path, but you chose to barge into the depths of hell. Today is the day of your death.”
Xu Tu smiled ferociously. The Broken Qi bows were his treasures and he usually did not take them out. Bao Xun had dared to barge into his territory and was practically seeking death.
Mo Wen looked at the archers on the cliffs with some surprise. The shooters had pretty high cultivation and were all at least in the later stages of the Golden Elixir realm. However, it was those bows and arrows that made a martial arts grandmaster so wary.
“Can you deal with those archers?” Mo Wen asked with a frown.
“It should not be a problem if Xu Tu does not interfere.”
Bao Xun hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that he was not feeling too confident. He was secretly pleased that he had not barged into the Tiger Head Triad’s territory alone in the past. Otherwise, with so many Broken Qi bows and Xu Tu, he might have died.
“Shoot.”
Xu Tu realized that the youth was a formidable opponent. Otherwise, Bao Xun would not behave like that. He did not dare to drag it out and immediately ordered his archers to shoot.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!
Several arrows flew toward them. The arrows did not seem to affected by air resistance. They flew toward Mo Wen and Bao Xun at an incredible speed and appeared before them in mere moments.
Xu Tu struck at the same time and charged fiercely at Bao Xun.
It was obvious that he intended to take down Bao Xun before anything else.
Bao Xun’s expression changed greatly, and he dodged quickly. However, due to Xu Tu’s force, he was one step too slow, despite having tried his best to avoid the large number of arrows. An arrow pierced through the skin on his arm, and blood spurted into the air.
“Die!” Xu Tu laughed ferociously, prepared to kill Bao Xun with one strike.
“What powerful bows and arrows. That’s rather interesting.” There was a flash of surprise in Mo Wen’s eyes. The Broken Qi bow was scary. It was not only air-resistant and was very fast, but it could also destroy the inner Qi defense of a martial arts grandmaster. The arrow only paused slightly upon meeting Bao Xun’s inner Qi defence layer before it passed through it.
“Save me, My Lord.”
Bao Xun yelled out loud. He was so afraid that his face paled. He had thought that Mo Wen would block Xu Tu. However, Mo Wen stood there and did not move at all. If Xu Tu had not attacked Bao Xun, he would not have been shot so easily.
The second wave of arrows was shot at them. If Mo Wen did not act, it was likely that he would die.
“What are you yelling for. You’re not dead yet.”
Mo Wen harrumphed softly. His figure flickered, and he stood in front of Xu Tu. A ball of golden light radiated from him. With just a single strike of his palm, Xu Tu was thrown several meters back.
Without the threat of Xu Tu, Bao Xun immediately relaxed and managed to avoid the arrows that were headed toward him.
“A martial arts grandmaster!”
Xu Tu’s expression changed slightly as he looked at Mo Wen in shock. He did not expect the young man to be a martial arts grandmaster and that he would be much more powerful than him and Bao Xun.
He finally understood why Bao Xun would call him his lord. The young man was so young but his cultivation was so powerful. He could already guess who the young man was.
“You are a competitor for the Heaven List this year!” Xu Tu narrowed his eyes. There was a flicker of light in his eyes as he looked at Mo Wen.
“Are you interested in me?” Mo Wen’s lips curled up.
“You are mistaken. I am very much straight. I am only interested in the jade pendant that you have.”
Xu Tu smiled coldly. He was not only not flustered, he was even in the mood to joke.
Mo Wen nodded. “The jade pendant is with me. Take it if you can.”
“My Lord, I will deal with the archers first.”
Bao Xun’s expression was cold. He hated the archers. He was a mighty martial arts grandmaster who did not die even when he crossed paths with Xu Tu, but he had almost died at their hands. He was much stronger than them. How could he take that lying down?
His figure flickered, and he prepared to barge up the mountain to kill the archers. Once he got close to them, the archers, who were only in the Golden Elixir realm, could only be killed by him.
However, Bao Xun had only flown a little before he fell back onto the ground pathetically and shook unsteadily. “Oh no, it’s poisoned!”
Bao Xun’s expression changed drastically. He looked at his arm and realized that the large patch of bloody flesh where the arrow had hit was quickly decaying. A ball of green aura enveloped the area and spread throughout his body.
“It’s the decaying poison! How is that possible!”
Bao Xun’s eyes were wide and his expression was incredulous. He said loudly, “How could you have something like decaying poison? How is that possible! Do you have connections with the rot valley? No wonder…No wonder you, Xu Tu, just you, have so many Broken Qi bows…”
Bao Xun finally understood. Xu Tu was definitely not as simple as he seemed!
