"Murong Yan, when it comes to martial arts and Dao techniques, who do you think is superior?"
On the training grounds of Green Willow Manor, Hong Yi held a completely black bow in his hand. There were horns on both ends of the bow, and there were coils of fine silk wrapped around the bow. The bowstring was a bright yellow color that looked like amber.
After pulling the bow with force, he released it! "Beep!" There was a long, sharp whistle. It was the sound of the arrow cutting through the air.
"Bang!"
The long arrow traversed the space of 400 steps and hit the bull 's-eye of the leather target. It pierced through the tough leather and showed its great destructive power.
"As expected of the Eagle Feather Arrow. It didn't deviate even after flying. This Ironwood Black Bone Bow is also Yun Meng's national weapon. With this bow and this arrow, it is enough for the cavalry to sweep the world and move unhindered across the grasslands. They have repeatedly come to the Da Qian lands to plunder and rob! "
The one who drew the bow and shot the arrow was Hong Yi. He wore a white vest, white knee pads, and white elbow pads. Apart from not wearing a helmet, all the vital parts of his body were protected. This was the White Bull Spirit Leather, a specialty of Yun Meng. It had been tanned, hammered, pressed, scraped, and sewn. It had an extremely strong defense, comparable to a thin steel armor! It was especially light, weighing only five to six catties.
The bow in his hand was the Ironwood Black Bone Bow, which had the strength of three to four stones.
The arrow that was shot was Yun Meng's Eagle Feather Arrow. This kind of arrow was made from the feathers of a large eagle. After it was shot, even if there was a strong wind, it would not deviate. It was a top-notch arrow.
The arrows of the Da Qian Kingdom were all Goose Feather Arrows, but they were inferior to Eagle Feather Arrows.
Hong Yi was well-versed in history and the art of war. He knew that Yun Meng's horse archery was swift and fierce. The most terrifying thing was not the heavy cavalry of the Iron Buddhas, but the valiant light cavalry who rode on the Black Blood Horse, held the Black Bone Bow, and wore the White Bull Armor!
This kind of light cavalry came and went like the wind. Riding on a horse, they had the agility and mobility of a Xiantian expert. When they looted at the borders, it was impossible to mobilize the army to intercept them. Every time they looted a small town, they would gallop away. Other than building high walls to defend themselves, the Da Qian army could not do anything to them.
However, the border was vast, and it was impossible to build large walls everywhere. As a result, throughout the dynasties, the residents of the border had suffered greatly.
Hong Yi now held a bow, shot an arrow, put on the armor, and had a deep understanding of how powerful it was.
"These Hu of the steppe are truly formidable in their mounted archery, especially their ability to plunder. It's deeply ingrained in their bones and cannot be changed. If he could think of a way to completely defeat them, it would be a good thing. It's a pity that throughout the dynasties and generations of sages, no one has been able to do it. Now that I'm working with Murong Yan, I can say that I know myself as well as the enemy. In the future, if I can contribute to the army and deal with Yun Meng, I will have a much better chance of success. "
These days, besides exchanging martial arts, Hong Yi would sometimes chat with Murong Yan. He learned a little about the army of the Yun Meng Empire, its customs, which aristocrats, and the current situation. He gradually understood many things in his heart.
Understanding more about Yun Meng would naturally be very beneficial for him when he joined the army in the future.
"Of course it's because of the powerful Taoist techniques!"
Murong Yan watched Hong Yi pull the bow and shoot an arrow. She was only slightly moved, but not too surprised. Although this Ironwood Black Bone Bow could only be pulled by a martial artist, and with Hong Yi's current martial artist realm, it was not common sense to pull it. However, in the Yun Meng Empire, there were many warriors born with great strength. Even if they were at the level of a martial artist, they could pull it, so it was not a big deal.
She did not go back on her words. On the second day after exchanging fist techniques, she ordered the warriors under her to secretly go to the treasure house and get this bow and armor for Hong Yi.
Although she did not send the fist techniques back to Xuantian Hall and get a reward from the sect, she controlled a lot of resources. There was a bow and armor in the treasure house, so it was not a big deal to give them to Hong Yi in advance.
However, Hong Yi was also secretly vigilant. In the treasure house of Jade Capital controlled by Murong Yan, there was a bow and armor. If it was a collection of a few sets, it would not be a big deal. If there were a lot of dozens or hundreds of pieces, then when he encountered an emergency, he could equip them with a lot of power!
He vaguely felt that Murong Yan had another purpose in coming to Jade Capital, but Hong Yi did not expose it. He just secretly paid attention to it. Anyway, now they were in the honeymoon period of cooperation, and everyone had their own secrets.
Moreover, the treasure house was a huge shop in Jade Capital. It included pawning, gold and silver, jewelry, silk, and other businesses. It was second only to Golden Hall. It also had a dividend relationship with some princes and nobles in the imperial court. With its unclear involvement, it was not good for Hong Yi to investigate rashly. He could only wait and see.
"Taoist skills are powerful, but that day, when you came to sneak attack us and kidnapped Mu The Younger, why were you shot by my bow and arrow?" Hong Yi said with a smile.
Hong Yi always wanted to figure out who was superior in the confrontation between martial arts and Taoist skills so that he could have a plan when he encountered an enemy in the future. It was a pity that he cultivated by himself and could not figure it out. Now that Murong Yan was by his side, it was a good target to figure it out.
"Humph! I was careless that day. I did not expect you to also cultivate Taoist skills, and I did not expect you to be unafraid of my Black Demon Crow Formation! If I were to compete with you now, I would definitely not be hit by your arrow. Moreover, my Taoist skills are still shallow, and I have just reached the level of manifestation. If my Spirit is a little more profound, and I have reached the advanced level of manifestation, one talisman can stick to you to death! There is no need for the manifestation of Jindan at all. "When Murong Yan heard Hong Yi talk about what happened that day, she raised her eyebrows.
"One talisman can stick to me to death? Why do you say that? "Hong Yi asked.
Murong Yan didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a talisman from her bosom and closed her eyes. The talisman flew out and stuck itself on a willow tree a hundred steps away. Then, it exploded with a bang, as if a cannon had been fired. A large piece of the tree's bark was blown off, startling the birds on the tree and causing them to flutter and fly away.
After the talisman exploded, Murong Yan opened her eyes again.
"This power is equivalent to a firecracker. It is possible to hurt people, but it is impossible to kill people. Moreover, the flying speed is too slow. How could a person with a little bit of skill be hit by the explosion?"
Hong Yi raised his eyes.
"I have already said that I have not reached that stage! This talisman is only a fire talisman, used to melt Jindan, and not the real Explosive Talisman. The real Explosive Talisman can even blow up trees when it flies out! What is more amazing is that it can destroy houses and even small hills. That power is enough to split the heavens and the earth. Everything within a radius of tens of zhang will be turned into dust. No matter how skilled one is, they will not be able to escape. However, I cannot use that kind of talisman now, or my own Spirit will be destroyed. Moreover, if I cultivate to the advanced level of manifestation, I will condense my Spirit and will not need talismans or Jindan at all. "
Hearing Murong Yan's words, Hong Yi thought of his Explosive Flame Talisman Sword. He did not know how powerful it was.
Murong Yan pointed to the pond next to her and said, "For those who have reached the advanced level of manifestation, with a thought, their Spirit can fly out and use water, fire, and soil to take shape."
After saying that, she closed her eyes again. Hong Yi clearly felt a chilly wind around him, blowing to the surface of the pond in the distance. Then, there was a sudden splash on the surface of the water. The splash gradually condensed into a human figure that looked like Murong Yan. Suddenly, the water figure jumped out of the pond, flew up, and punched at Hong Yi.
The water vapor mixed with the fierce fist wind blew at his face.
Without thinking, Hong Yi punched out. When their fists collided, the water figure's head immediately scattered. Water splashed everywhere, but the power was not strong.
"Using water to manifest is not as powerful as using lead-mercury Qi to manifest. After all, lead-mercury is heavy, while water is light. If you move fast, you will not have enough power." Hong Yi laughed.
"That's true." When the water figure scattered, the training field was drenched. Murong Yan retracted her Spirit, opened her eyes and said, "But what if this is a fire figure? Do you dare to fight it head-on? As long as it pounces on you, you are finished. Moreover, fire has no weight and is lighter than water. It moves as fast as lightning and cannot be dodged. "
"Using fire to manifest and injure the Spirit." Hong Yi said.
"That's right. But if I become a ghost immortal, I can condense half the pond's water and form a water giant. I don't even need to fight, I can just crush you and drown you." Murong Yan snorted.
"That's true." Hong Yi did not argue with her. Suddenly, he frowned and said, "If my martial arts reach the level of Wu Sheng's Blood Transfusion, no matter what I use, my Spirit will not be able to get close to his body."
Hong Yi thought of Hong Xuanji's Blood Qi. It was like the sun had just descended. Even if his Yin Spirit was now complete, he would not be able to get close to his body.
That day, Lifeless Path and Zhen Kong Path, the two Yin Spirit controlling experts, tried to kill him with their flying swords. But before they could even get close to his body, they were met with great resistance! Hong Xuanji easily grabbed hold of the flying swords, killed their physical bodies, destroyed their Yin Spirit, and destroyed their souls.
"That might not be the case. Ghost immortals with strong Spirit can also forcefully break through." Murong Yan said, "I have never personally witnessed a fight of that level, so I can't imagine it. But Wu Sheng's Blood Qi is strong. If his hot blood stains the body of a ghost immortal, it will cause great damage to the ghost immortal. If a Human Immortal were to eject a single drop of the unyielding Yang blood in his body, his Divine Soul would be struck and he would suffer a grievous injury. "
