Chapter 421: Chapter 176: Elder Zu’s Gift

Within the imperial city, numerous powers surged like a storm; the hidden claws of the tiger finally revealed their sharpness. In one move, the Xue Family was stabilised, and Li Guanyi forcefully and directly breached the defenses of Guan Yi City, only then did he momentarily feel the vastness of heaven and earth.

The Qilin, summoning its remaining strength, trod on flames with its four hooves, quickly increasing the distance.

With the speed of lightning, although not as swift as the Thunder Dragon Horse previously slain by Lu Youxian with one arrow, the Qilin’s every move set off flames of crimson gold, making its aura even more magnificent.

Lu Youxian rushed out in a hurry, but this place lacked the previous concealment provided by the city’s terrain.

The Qilin’s speed visibly increased.

He directly had someone bring an Exotic Beast, a creature with a single horn and curves like a leopard, especially skilled at sprinting in a straight line. Perhaps it was no match for the Qilin in a fight, but this speed-specialized Exotic Beast could definitely catch up to the Qilin with its short bursts of intense speed.

But before the Exotic Beast could shake off the fear instilled by the Qilin and start its frantic dash, suddenly, a streak of light passed by—it was an arrow—and then the beast fell to the ground.

Lu Youxian was shocked and furious.

That arrow had actually pierced through several miles!

The trees and stones in front of the arrow were cleanly penetrated!

With Li Guanyi’s skills, it was impossible to shoot an arrow both so far and with such concentrated force, and after travelling such a distance, the arrow should not have retained much power. Yet this arrow that had penetrated several miles went straight into the Exotic Beast’s eye and into its brain.

Thus, this valuable Exotic Beast let out a miserable howl and died right in front of Lu Youxian.

Blood splattered all over Lu Youxian.

You kill my Exotic Beast, and I too will take one of yours!

Lu Youxian stared at the arrow that had pierced through the eyes and brain of the Exotic Beast. The arrow dispersed like dust, gently scattering. Li Guanyi was surely not at the Third Layer Heaven, capable of Condensing Qi into Arrow; therefore, there was only one reason.

Grinding his teeth, Lu Youxian said word by word,

"Divine Weapon, Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow."

On the back of the Qilin, the young man gasped for air, holding the bow and arrows, an ancient War Bow, with the bowstring still faintly buzzing. Li Guanyi’s Inner Qi surged into it, turning into that arrow that penetrated several miles.

Divine Weapon, after all, is a Divine Weapon.

All have their extraordinariness.

And Li Guanyi’s Divine Shooter skill also deterred the others. The Qilin was already extremely fast. With the addition of this Divine Weapon’s power, those who came close were likely to be shot dead. Although the Divine Weapon was greatly exhausting to use, no one knew how many times he could draw it.

No one knew if the one to die would be themselves.

Lu Youxian fell silent, stopping his pursuit, he sighed and said,

"Having left the city and with an Exotic Beast beneath him, along with the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow at hand, even if he can’t kill you or me, he can still directly kill the Exotic Beast. And if we chase him with our own Cultivation Techniques, being exhausted by the Qilin and then possibly killed in a counterattack—that would likely be the end of us."

"The opportunity to kill him has already passed."

Li Guanyi, gripping the Divine Weapon, urged the Qilin; spurred by the boy’s intent, the Qilin fiercely moved its hooves. Flares of crimson gold fire blazed as it ran, and sensing the determination in the young man’s heart, it roared. The Qilin’s front hooves stepped on the void, which exploded with a layer of golden-red fire, propelling the creature upward.

The Qilin was actually riding the void on fire!

Although it was a greatly exhausting action, having escaped confinement, it felt extremely content. Thin raindrops began to fall, and the young man on the Qilin broke through layers of rain clouds in one breath. When piercing through the clouds, Li Guanyi felt a profound depth before him, brandishing the Battle Halberd and letting out a loud cry.

The Qilin trod fire and broke through the clouds!

Soon, it was stepping on the deep ink-colored clouds below, while above, the clouds were still peaceful, vast, slowly rolling, a brilliant gold light from the sun dripping onto them, casting a sea of clouds with glimmers of gold.

The young man held the Battle Halberd high as the Qilin slowly trod fire, walking at the edge of the clouds.

Thus, the pressure, indignation, and gloom in his heart were all swept away.

Therefore, today he truly saw this world for the first time.

A rush of boldness welled up from below, Li Guanyi took off his mask and burst into hearty laughter, a surge of Qi Mechanism flowed into his pupils. As he opened his eyes, he saw the sky and earth, the myriad phenomena, magnificent and extraordinary, just like his heart.

Li Guanyi suddenly felt a sting in his eyes, then a sensation of moisture, and soon he felt as if he was seeing the myriad things of this world more clearly and with understanding. Amidst battle after battle, the Inner Qi continually surged, with his eyes firmly fixed on the conflict. At last, here, he naturally made a breakthrough.

Seeing the world, thus the Eye Acupoint opened!

It is supreme.

......

The young man may be dashing and heroic, but heroism doesn’t fill one’s stomach. The Qilin’s strength was too greatly depleted. Bearing Li Guanyi, it crossed the double layers of Chongshan, then came down to rest in a mountain range.

When Li Guanyi was relegated to sit on the cold bench of the Archives Room, he had flipped through, in his spare moments, the geographical map of the Chen Country treasury, remembering a Chen military camp that was once stationed here, leaving behind some things. So this man, supposed to be wanted, boldly infiltrated the now abandoned and forgotten Chen military camp.

There were some wooden huts, and storage rooms still housed arrows and weapons, covered with oiled cloths.

Only there was no money.

Li Guanyi grinned.

What were these guys thinking, taking all the money with them when they left?

He hunted down a wild beast, then, using the sword he had grabbed in the middle of the charge, he skilfully bled and butchered it, cooking the meat for himself. During the battle earlier, he had felt his strength boundless, seemingly with an inexhaustible force emerging from everywhere within his body.
