Chapter 271: Chapter 200: An Arrow Shatters the Coffin, Driving to Madness

“Treasure bow, you’ve been in my hands for nearly two years now,” at last, you can show your edge today.”

Atop the high tower, Lu Qing gently stroked the longbow in his hands, reminiscing about how he first came across this treasure bow.

This longbow wasn’t forged by him but discovered by Little Li on a trip to gather herbs in the mountains two years ago.

The location of its discovery was near the Nameless Valley where he and Wei Shanhai sparred yesterday.

Later, he learned that this treasure bow likely belonged to Tong Canglang, a disciple of Wang Cangyi who was in pursuit of Ma Gu.

In his haste to chase down Ma Gu, Tong Canglang had no choice but to temporarily hide his encumbering treasure bow on a tree.

...

He planned to retrieve it after killing Ma Gu, but unexpectedly, he was slain by Lu Qing.

The location of the treasure bow became unknown to all.

If it weren’t for Little Li’s miraculous intuition, who happened upon that part of the forest while gathering herbs with Lu Qing and found this longbow,

It might have been corroded by the rain and ruined in another two years.

After acquiring the longbow, Lu Qing used his superpower to investigate and discovered it to be a rare treasure bow.

Its main parts were all made from the materials of a Mutant Beast known as the White-Horned Barbaric Bull.

Under the examination of his superpower, amidst the intensely vivid red light, there was a hint of gold, suggesting signs of a Divine Weapon.

With such a treasure bow, Lu Qing didn’t want to waste it, so he asked the Wei Family to obtain a few Arrow Technique Secret Manuals for him to cultivate.

Then, with the assistance of his superpower, he adeptly integrated the manuals and cultivated his Arrow Skill to the Grandmaster Realm.

After later comprehending the realm of “Will,” his Arrow Skill also progressed, and he likewise grasped the essence of Arrow Will.

“Old witch, you think you can allow that scum Zheng Yu to enjoy the reverence of thousands? It won’t be that simple.”

“Is it not just a strategy to strike at the heart? I’m not the only one who understands this trick.”

Gazing out at the Zheng Mansion some hundreds of meters away, Lu Qing had a determined look in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, the Divine Soul Talisman within his brow chakra minutely vibrated, suppressing all of his emotions, leaving his Heart and Spirit clear and bright.

He then took out a Treasure Arrow, which he had personally forged using Refined Iron as the main material, from his Qiankun Qi Bag.

Drawing the bow and placing the arrow, the bow was like a full moon, poised to release.

Lu Qing’s Qi-Blood surged tumultuously within him, like a blazing furnace, containing formidable strength.

Yet all these fluctuations of aura were easily concealed by the Divine Soul Talisman, drawing no one’s attention.

Everything was ready, but Lu Qing still didn’t immediately release the string.

Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and emptied his Heart and Spirit, sensing the flow of air currents around him.

After sensing for several breaths, suddenly, his eyes snapped open with a flash of sharpness, fixing his gaze on the Zheng Mansion ahead.

In the next instant, his Qi-Blood erupted, and his fingers relaxed.

With a loud bang, the air exploded in front of Lu Qing, and the shadow of the arrow vanished from the bow.

Boom!

Almost at the same moment, a thunderous noise erupted from the spirit hall in the Zheng Mansion.

Accompanied by it were bursts of shock and cries of hysteria.

It was only then that a long stream of mist appeared before Lu Qing, connecting the space between him and the Zheng Mansion, slowly dispersing.

“What’s that noise!?”

The Old Woman Zheng, who had been conversing with Manager Wang from the City Lord Mansion in the garden, was startled by the loud noise from the spirit hall.

She could not bother with Manager Wang any longer, her aura bursting forth. In the span of a breath, she had already reached the spirit hall.

But the scene before her was something she could hardly believe.

The previously intact ancestral hall was now a complete mess, thrown into utter chaos.

Most importantly, the luxurious coffin that had held Yu’er had been blasted to pieces, along his corpse, which had also been blown to smithereens, leaving no bone intact.

Staring at the shattered coffin on the ground, Old Woman Zheng felt a darkness before her eyes and her body swayed slightly, almost unable to stand steady.

Following closely, Manager Wang arrived and was similarly wide-eyed upon seeing the scene.

He couldn’t understand why he and the Ancestor of Zheng Family had only left for a moment, and the ancestral hall had turned into this state.

“Who did this?!”

Fortunately, as an Innate Realm Expert, Old Woman Zheng possessed a strong will and immense power of the heart and spirit, which she used to forcefully stabilize her body.

Meanwhile, an endless chill erupted from her body.

Her gaze was ice-cold, seemingly ready to devour someone.

“Ancestor, we don’t know either, Young Master Yu’s coffin just suddenly exploded!”

One guard cried out with a mournful face, clutching his arm.

He was one of the guards responsible for protecting the coffin, and when the coffin had burst apart, he was too slow to dodge, and a wooden plank had injured his arm.

But by now, his arm was the least of his concerns.

As a guard, not knowing how Young Master Yu’s coffin was damaged was inexcusable.

He could already foresee his fate to come.

Recalling the fate of his colleagues who had failed to protect Young Master Yu before, the guard was filled with endless fear.

As expected, Old Woman Zheng’s gaze turned even colder when she heard that he didn’t even know how the coffin was destroyed.

“Mother, someone has attacked from a distance, with a bow and arrow, look!”

Just then, the figure of the Zheng Family Master emerged from behind the ancestral hall and spoke in a serious tone.

He handed a long arrow to the old woman.

“Just now this Thousand Refinement Arrow flew in from outside the mansion, striking directly Young Master Yu’s coffin, destroying both the coffin and his corpse before embedding in the wall behind the ancestral hall.”

Zheng Family Master’s voice carried shock.

He was somewhat at a loss as to what kind of Arrow Skill could have such formidable power, to shoot such a strong coffin to pieces from such a distance.

If this arrow had not been aimed at Zheng Yu’s coffin, but at the people inside the mansion, he feared that, apart from the Ancestor, no one would have been able to withstand it.

“An arrow was used, which means the person is still in the city?”

However, Old Woman Zheng’s focus was entirely different from that of Zheng Family Master.

Seeing the long arrow handed over by her son, murderous intent surfaced in her eyes, and her aura erupted as she vanished from the ancestral hall.

In an instant, she appeared on the highest roof within the mansion, her gaze sweeping in all directions.

Soon, she saw streaks of white mist in the sky that were about to dissipate completely.

Following the direction of the mist, she saw the figure standing atop a high tower.

“It’s you!”

Seeing the figure holding a longbow, Old Woman Zheng instantly knew it was he who had destroyed her grandson’s coffin and corpse.

Upon being discovered by the old woman, Lu Qing revealed a crooked smile.

“Old witch, didn’t you go to great lengths to draw me out? Well, now I’m standing before you, what can you do to me?”

“You wanted to use a living sacrifice to accompany your grandson in burial, hoping for thousands to worship and bless him?”

“Now that I’ve completely annihilated his corpse, ensuring he’ll never find peace in death, what can you do to me?”

“You little beast! You’re courting death! I swear, if I don’t kill you today, I am not a human being!”

Hearing Lu Qing’s heart-piercing questions, Old Woman Zheng’s rage exploded, and she screamed maniacally.
