It was a black arrow. There was no light in the dark night, only the sharp sound of the arrow breaking through the air was very prominent in the quiet night.
However, when Ye Xing shot the arrow, Xiong Qicai was talking and was completely unprepared. When he heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, it was already too late.
Xiong Qicai was not even fifteen years old and his cultivation had already reached the late fourth stage of the martial path. This kind of cultivation, even in Tian Cang City, would be considered a genius.
Moreover, Xiong Qicai's identity was not small. His father was a master of the seventh stage of the martial path. In the Xiong family, he was on the same level as the head of the family.
However, under Ye Xing's arrow, there was no difference between high and low status. Once the arrow pierced through the throat, it didn't matter if you were a martial disciple or martial artist, there was only one result, and that was instant death.
Xiong Qicai couldn't say anything else. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he fell to the ground with hatred.
"Young Master Qi …!"
The moment Xiong Qicai was shot, the other three heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air and instinctively dodged. At this moment, although the light was dim, they were not far from each other. They all saw the scene of Xiong Qicai's throat being pierced.
Whoosh — —
Whoosh — —
Two hunters of the third stage of the martial path heard the sound and after dodging, they simultaneously drew their bows and shot an arrow in the direction of Ye Xing.
After Ye Xing shot the first arrow, he had already changed his position, and the two arrows missed their target.
At the same time, a sharp sound broke through the air. Another black arrow broke through the air and came straight for the throat of one of the hunters.
At this moment in the battle, the two hunters of the third stage of the martial path were also very vigilant. After shooting the arrow, they immediately rolled to the side.
The arrow that should have pierced through the hunter's throat flew past his head.
In the next moment, a mournful scream and the sound of a nail rang out at the same time.
The hunter who rolled to the side directly fell to the ground and didn't get up again. Just now, Ye Xing didn't just shoot one arrow, but two arrows in a row.
He calculated the direction in which the hunter would dodge, so when the hunter rolled on the ground, he was shot in the heart by the second arrow and died.
The arrow that brushed past the hunter's scalp didn't miss. Instead, it continued to fly a dozen meters forward, aiming for the throat of the remaining fourth stage martial artist.
Everything was going according to Ye Xing's calculations. The arrow wouldn't hit the hunter. The fourth stage martial artist further away was Ye Xing's real target.
Not only did he shoot two arrows with one bow, he also wanted to kill two people at the same time.
Unfortunately, a martial artist of the fourth stage of the Martial Path was far stronger than a Martial Disciple. At this moment, he was on high alert, so how could he be easily killed by Ye Xing's arrow?
At the critical moment, the black arrow was struck by the Fourth Stage Martial Path cultivator's saber. The arrow was deflected to the side and disappeared into the darkness.
Although this fourth level martial artist blocked Ye Xing's arrow, he was still shocked and sweating profusely.
In the darkness, he couldn't see far and didn't know where the next arrow would come from. How could he dare to stay? He immediately used his movement technique and quickly fled.
When this person fled, the remaining third stage martial artist was scared out of his wits. How could he face Ye Xing alone? How could he be a match for Ye Xing?
He didn't have the courage to fight Ye Xing alone, so he turned around and fled.
Whoosh — —
An arrow pierced through the air and in the blink of an eye, the hunter turned around and fled, hastening his death.
Soon, Ye Xing walked out of the darkness and arrived in front of Xiong Qicai's body. Looking at the direction the fourth stage martial artist disappeared in, he sighed.
He had already used up a lot of arrows in the ten days he was in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. When he fought with the five people in the valley, he used up a lot more arrows. When he jumped off the cliff, he only had five arrows left.
He used one to kill Xiong Yiming, and now he used four more. His quiver was empty.
If he had two more arrows, the fourth-stage martial artist might not have been able to escape his death.
Now that he was out of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, the martial artist used his movement technique to escape. Ye Xing couldn't catch up, so he gave up the chase.
After searching Xiong Qicai's body, Ye Xing quickly found the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom and several other valuable herbs.
Moreover, there were a lot of banknotes, more than ten thousand taels. It can be seen that he was much richer than the senior hunter. Even in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, he still had so much banknotes on him.
In addition, Xiong Qicai's long saber was also a very precious treasure. It was a middle grade weapon and was very rare in Azure Leaf Village. Its value was no less than the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom, worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.
The Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom was enough for Ye Xing's cultivation to reach the third stage of the Martial Path. As long as he broke through, Ye Xing planned to return to Azure Leaf Village. Therefore, whether it was Xiong Qicai's long saber or the other two hunters' bows, Ye Xing didn't let go of them. He tied them together and carried them into the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
At night, the vicious beasts' activities were much more frequent than during the day. The Azure Cloud Mountain Range was even more dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Xing would dig a small cave in the mountain at night and hide to rest.
However, Ye Xing didn't plan to do so tonight. After all, a martial artist escaped. If that martial artist escaped back to the Azure Sky City's Xiong Family, the Xiong Family's big shots might come out to kill him.
He couldn't stay in this area. He had to go far away and go deep into the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
In the Azure Cloud Mountain Range, Ye Xing was like a dragon returning to the sea. Even if it was a seventh stage Martial Path Grandmaster, it would be difficult to kill him.
Even though the Azure Cloud Mountain Range was dangerous at night, Ye Xing was still in the outer area. Moreover, his vision was only affected by his long range vision but not his scanning. Therefore, he was able to detect the strong vicious beasts in advance. Along the way, he was scared but not in danger.
When the sun rose, Ye Xing had already returned to the valley where the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom was. He then went to the cliff he jumped from before and jumped down again, jumping into the river below.
Then, Ye Xing followed the river and went far away from this place.
In this way, even if the Xiong Family's tracking technique was brilliant, even if they used hunting dogs to track, they wouldn't be able to find Ye Xing.
When night came, Ye Xing had already followed the river for a long distance. Then, he found a natural cave in a nearby mountain peak that didn't have any demonic beasts. He sealed the cave entrance with a huge rock and rested inside.
Last night he didn't sleep and today he was on the move. Ye Xing was already tired. He slept for a while and when he woke up, it was already dawn.
Ye Xing left the cave and climbed to the top of the mountain. He surveyed a ten mile radius and didn't find anyone from the Xiong Family following him.
After confirming the location, Ye Xing crossed the mountains and returned to the place where he killed the veteran hunter. He took out the bow and arrows he hid and headed towards Azure Leaf Village.
Like this, he traveled for another day. At night, Ye Xing found a small cave where he spent the night before. He sealed the cave entrance with a huge rock and spent the night here.
In the cave, Ye Xing took out the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom.
After obtaining the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom, he was either rushing on the road or too tired so he didn't have a chance to consume it. Now he finally had a chance.
Ye Xing first cultivated the Evergreen Technique for a while. The power of the stars circulated through his five meridians. He cultivated wholeheartedly without any distracting thoughts.
At this time, Ye Xing ate the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom and continued to circulate the Evergreen Technique to slowly refine it.
The medicinal villages on the Star Continent were much more effective than those on Earth. They also absorbed the power of the stars to grow. Not only could it strengthen the body, it was also very beneficial to the cultivation of martial artists.
Soon, the medicinal power of the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom was slowly extracted by Ye Xing using the Evergreen Technique. It turned into a vigorous blood energy that nourished his flesh and bones.
At the same time, the power of the stars contained within the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom was also absorbed by Ye Xing. The second star ring in his dantian became more and more resplendent.
As time passed, more and more of the medicinal power of the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom was extracted. The vigorous blood energy became more and more surging. Ye Xing felt as if his whole body was full.
The circulation of the Evergreen Technique was pushed to the limit by Ye Xing. He desperately absorbed the surging vigorous blood energy. Even so, he still felt as if his body was bloated and had no way to vent it.
"Slow! Absorbing with only five meridians is too slow!"
At this time, Ye Xing deeply understood the importance of a powerful cultivation technique.
His Evergreen Technique had been improved by the super brain and had reached the level of a low-grade cultivation technique. It was much faster than the ordinary Evergreen Technique. However, Ye Xing still felt that it was not enough!
Time passed by with the swelling feeling. Ye Xing only knew that he was desperately absorbing the surging blood energy in his body. As for the passage of time, he had already ignored it.
After an unknown amount of time, the medicinal power of the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom gradually decreased. However, the swelling feeling in Xing's body had improved. He did not know how much medicinal power his flesh and bones had absorbed, but he felt as if his entire body was filled with strength.
He scanned his body. In his dantian, the second star ring had already reached the limit of its brilliance. It was no different from the first star ring.
Moreover, there was already a third star ring outside the second star ring. It was just that it was much dimmer than the first two.
The symbol of the ninth stage of the Martial Path was the number of star rings in the dantian. One star ring was the first stage, and two star rings were the second stage.
Now that Ye Xing's dantian had a third star ring, it meant that his cultivation had unknowingly broken through to the third stage of the Martial Path while he was absorbing the medicinal power of the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom.
Ye Xing's heart was filled with great joy. He had broken through to the second stage of the Martial Path in just half a month, and his cultivation had broken through again. It was obvious that he had made the right choice to enter the Emerald Cloud Mountain Range to gain experience.
No matter what, being nurtured in a greenhouse would not be as fast as experiencing the wind and rain outside.
Soon, the swelling feeling in Ye Xing's body disappeared completely. He clenched his fist and exerted force with his entire body. A series of crackling sounds came from within his body. Although it was impossible to hear how many crackling sounds there were, the super brain had recorded it clearly.
There were 21 muffled sounds and 185 crispy sounds.
Before this, there were only 170 crispy sounds. In just a short period of time after consuming the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom, Ye Xing's Bone Explosion Fist cultivation had greatly increased by a level.
Although there was no swelling feeling in Ye Xing's body, there was still a large amount of medicinal power of the Scarlet Blood Spirit Mushroom. Once he had completely absorbed it, it would not take long for his Bone Explosion Fist to reach the Perfection Realm.
How powerful would it be to reach the Perfection Realm with 206 echoes of the Bone Explosion Fist?
Ye Xing was looking forward to it!
