Chapter 98: Chapter 95: Six Harmonies Spear, Divine Crossbow of Heavenly Secrets (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Pass)

"You cunning thief."

A furious roar, filled with utter frustration, erupted from the room.

Overwhelming Qi-Blood surged upward like a volcanic eruption.

Mixed with it was a chilling and sharp murderous aura that, in Green Lady’s mind, morphed into a white tiger howling skyward.

At the same time, the room was filled with blurred spear shadows and a humming vibration, resembling the roar of a dragon.

’White Tiger Fierce Evil, Seven Kills Spear Technique.’

Green Lady was all too clear.

The "Tian Shouyi" in the master bedroom was merely a decoy to attract attention.

The real Tian Shouyi was the expert hiding in the pitch-dark room.

Moreover, this fellow was not unprepared.

Despite secretly healing on one side, he was still ready for battle at a moment’s notice, with his vigilance at full stretch.

If Zhou Ping’an hadn’t used some miraculous method to tear through the layers of mist and directly locate his adversary, not to mention achieving his goal, it would have been a success just to escape unharmed tonight.

It was certain that they had been thoroughly outwitted.

She waved her sleeve in annoyance.

From within her wide sleeves, her hand suddenly formed several gestures, and three gleaming, tiny needles broke through the roaring Qi Force inside the room, now pinned to the shadow cloaked in black, who was vibrating his spear in defense.

Shhh...

The needles struck.

But they vanished without a trace.

Zhou Ping’an’s spear thrusted like a python or a dragon, whistling as it spun forward, its extremely powerful blade already piercing through Tian Shouyi’s defensive spear circle.

A point of bright light landed right on his chest.

[Eyes align with the heart, heart with the hand, hand with the step, step with the spear, spear with the waist, waist with the strength]

Originally, Zhou Ping’an’s sword technique or marksmanship were nothing more than showy moves.

Flashy and decorative when brandished, but utterly useless in practice.

Because his fundamentals were lacking.

But ever since he achieved Great Achievement in the Gentle Water Eight Steps and underwent Muscle Transforming Bone Forging and Marrow Cleansing and Blood Replacement, his foundation could be said to have reached an unbelievably strong level.

This ’Six Harmonies Spear’ set, intended for competition, had also finally cleared off its dust and revealed its true nature.

When he gathered his spirit and strength with all sincerity, and activated the Ninth Level Strength, it could be said that he became so powerful that even he himself wouldn’t dare to block his own spear.

Boom...

At this moment,

the massive force almost made a solid hit.

Tian Shouyi’s chest slightly caved in, but his body was thrown backward by this force, flying out of the room and across seven or eight zhang.

Still midair, the bright light illuminated Tian Shouyi’s distorted face, his armor shattered, and the blood dripping from his mouth.

Especially after the breastplate shattered, a silk garment emitting a soft golden light was revealed.

"Gold Threaded Robe."

Green Lady blurted out.

Her ’Thousand Silk Invisible Needle’ was especially adept at piercing through Qi Force and armor, extremely secretive with the thrust powered by Thousand-Handed Guanyin Technique, it was exceedingly difficult to defend against.

Yet unexpectedly, after hitting Tian Shouyi, it had no effect at all.

Only now did she realize that the opponent didn’t have some invulnerability skill, but in addition to wearing steel armor, he was also clad in a rare and precious garment.

If it were not for Zhou Ping’an’s Triple Lotus Body and ninefold burst of strength, combined with the irresistible fierce strength of the Ninth Level Overlapping Waves Power, it would have been too ferocious.

It would have been impossible to harm the ever-vigilant Tian Shouyi, who had his spear in hand.

However, even though this County Warden was so cunning and had made various preparations, he still suffered serious injuries under the spear of Zhou Ping’an.

From this, one could see just how astonishingly exquisite and powerful that spear thrust was.

Thinking back to when they first met, she had doubted in her heart that Zhou Ping’an was merely posturing with his spear, suspecting that he wasn’t sincerely exerting effort.

The Green Lady couldn’t help but feel her ears grow slightly hot.

Such spearmanship, such power, wouldn’t be at a disadvantage even in the most fierce battlefields.

Even the aspirations behind it, the ingenious operation of Jin, were subtly superior to Tian Shouyi’s Seven Kills Spear Technique...

If it weren’t for the fact that the enemy was wearing Dual Layer Armor, and the Gold Threaded Robe was notoriously difficult to penetrate, the County Magistrate standing before her would have already been a corpse.

"Form up!"

As soon as Tian Shouyi landed in the center of the garden, he immediately shouted out loud.

From all around, a hundred and eight strands of vigorous Qi-Blood surged toward the sky.

It was like lighting more than a hundred blazing torches.

Following the shout, these soldiers’ eyes turned blood-red, as they brandished swords and spears, frantically converging.

The first things to arrive weren’t the swords or spears.

It was the whistling crossbow arrows.

Arranged meticulously, creating a net of interception.

Slightly further away, the western wing room...

The roof exploded open.

A dark silhouette, as if shrouded in a dense cloud of corpse energy, moved quickly over the tops of the flowers, rushing over like lightning.

Xiao Changhe might not be of one mind with County Magistrate Tian Shouyi.

But when the latter faced danger, he still did not hesitate to draw his sword to help.

Each had their own schemes.

Sometimes, ties of interest are much more reliable than those of affection.

Best to pursue the foe and finish them with your remaining courage.

Zhou Ping’an, profoundly influenced by classical literature and having studied at the prestigious Jing’an Academy, wasn’t a great strategist.

But at least he wouldn’t make some basic mistakes.

At this moment, whether his spear strike had been successful or not, he was just a little short of finishing off Tian Shouyi.

Why would he stop now?

He swung his spear.

Executing the Mud Wading Step, his spear shadow turned into a murky haze, whirling loudly at both sides of him.

He plunged straight into the shower of crossbow arrows.

As the ferocious momentum of the spear advanced.

The locust-like crossbow arrows, buzzing and swarming, were all knocked flying back...

Just as Zhou Ping’an was about to reach Tian Shouyi, he suddenly stepped back instead of thrusting his spear. His form turned illusory, he performed the Ascend Steps, and leaped backward.

"Careful."

This warning was not meant for others.

But for the Green Lady who was coordinating with him at his side.

Amidst the resonance of her qin, with a humming sound,

The boiling Qi-Blood of over a hundred robust soldiers suddenly dropped, and the arrow shots became sparse.

Even more absurd,

Their movements, charging with weapons raised, also paused slightly, and they actually charged in the wrong direction.

The exquisitely intricate array was thrown into disarray.

And the Red Lotus Celestial Maiden.

Only now did she begin to exhibit the extraordinary attributes of a Celestial Maiden.

As the sound of the zither resonated, dizzying and enchanting, her figure fluttered like a colorful butterfly. With a spin, a silver flash was drawn from the body of the zither.

A sword like water.

It had already reached the throat of Tian Shouyi.

The efficiency of the attack was even higher than that of Zhou Ping’an.

By the time Zhou Ping’an’s caution of "Be careful" reached her ears,

the Green Lady had already retreated without a second thought.

As she fell back, her body leaned back until it was pressed tightly against the soil of the ground.

No longer caring about her resplendent attire nor her own image.

Because she had understood.

Zhou Ping’an, this "Dharma Protector Deity General," was too miraculous.

He had many bizarre abilities.

At times, his actions seemed nonsensical, yet in the end, they always proved his judgments to be correct.

In this battle, there was no need for her to contend for victory or argue over superiority.

Instead, it was better to follow his lead and assist from behind.

Some things, if you can’t figure them out, you just can’t figure them out.

Once let go, the mind becomes clear as if divine help had arrived.

Just as the Green Lady stumbled back thirty feet, her back against the ground,

she saw several slender black shadows flash by, followed by a loud rumble.

Buzz...

A series of explosive cracks rang from afar.

Catching them from the corner of her eye, she saw several flowering trees, a decorative wall, and the wide courtyard wall beyond all explode at once, blowing holes as thick as wrists.

She couldn’t even see what had punched those holes.

At that moment, a sharp pain shot from her shoulder.

Glancing down, she made a discovery.

A piece of fabric from her red robe was torn away without a trace.

Gone with the fabric was a small piece of flesh.

She didn’t know what had torn it.

It was bleeding profusely.

"Heavenly Mechanism Crossbow..."

The thought of a vile and dreaded secret weapon feared by the people of the Martial World suddenly surfaced in her mind.

The Green Lady gasped in shock.

That was a close call.

Rumors had it that wherever the Heavenly Mechanism Crossbow’s needle points, it could penetrate multiple layers of Heavy Armor and even break through Qi and force, specifically designed to defeat Horizontal Training Golden Body.

Once hit,

the unprepared high-level experts of the True Qi Realm, nine out of ten, would perish on the spot.

Tian Shouyi played a very deep game.

Facing an attack by many the night before, he would rather sustain severe injuries than reveal this last resort.

The elders of the Heaven Corpse Sect like Tong Shan probably didn’t withhold the information; they likely had never seen it themselves.

"That was too close for comfort."

How had Zhou Ping’an discovered it, she wondered?

The Green Lady felt the foul stench of the Yin Soul energy rapidly approaching.

She heard the wails of ghosts.

A sense of retreat welled up in her heart.

Yet, she saw that Zhou Ping’an had disappeared from the top of the flowering trees without her knowing when.

When he reappeared, his spear, transformed into a long rainbow, was already at Tian Shouyi’s throat.

Tian Shouyi was in agony, his old wounds magnified by new ones.

Especially since Zhou Ping’an’s irresistible spear had breached his defenses during his recovery today, striking his chest squarely.

Although the Gold Thread Armor absorbed seven to eight parts of the impact’s force,

the remaining two parts were strong enough to shatter steel.

His internal organs weren’t trained to an extremely robust level, and at this moment, he felt as if his insides were aflame.

Struggling to form an array, and using his trump card, the "Heavenly Mechanism Crossbow" to kill,

he had just unleashed a volley.

He felt mentally drained and weak all over.

Before he could catch his breath,

a figure appeared before his eyes as if it had burrowed out of thin air.

The moment the figure appeared, the spear glinted and had already stabbed through half his throat before he could react.

After all, his injuries made him a bit slower, and that bit made the difference.

He only managed to dodge half of his neck.

It was already grazed by the spear blade.

"It’s... you..."

Tian Shouyi, clutching the largely torn side of his neck, wore an expression of utter disbelief.

"Who else could it be but me?" Zhou Ping’an chuckled lightly.

He knew that Tian Shouyi had recognized him by his extraordinary Explosive Power Technique and his "Ghostly Shadows Step" that left no shadow even under the sun, but what of it?

Even though this night’s ambush was full of surprises,

and the enemy’s defenses were solid,

as well as the successive counterattacks,

regardless, in the end, he had still succeeded, hadn’t he?

Zhou Ping’an’s right hand, holding the end of the spear, gave a slight shake.

The tip of the spear vibrated, turning Tian Shouyi’s head into a mist of blood.

Looking up at the swiftly approaching Yin Soul Sword Xiao Changhe, his eyes filled with coldness.

And in the far distance, chanting reached his ears.

Jinguang burst forth.
