Undying Life

Chapter 116: Breaking the Gang Arrow

Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi continued flying through the Wolf Territory. Along the way, they encountered some powerful wolves, but rarely did they encounter solitary wolves like the Wolf General from before. Perhaps due to their high cultivation, these wolves had slowly moved away from their pack habits.

Just as they were flying through the sky, a large fireball shot up towards them, as if trying to knock them down. Looking down, they saw over twenty large wolves, each standing twenty meters tall, glaring up at them with red eyes.

A twenty-meter-tall wolf was as high as a six-story building, and as they stomped the ground with their paws, it seemed like they were warning the people above to come down, or else.

Indeed, flying so openly as two humans in the territory of wolves was too conspicuous.

Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi exchanged a glance, sighed softly, and descended. This wasn't the first time they had encountered this.

Once on the ground, Bei Qingsi quickly took out the Wolf Token. The unique aura emanating from the token made the twenty-plus large wolves itch. After circling each other a few times, they looked towards Zhong Shan.

However, it was different from their encounter with the Wolf General before.

The wolves sniffed around, then looked at Zhong Shan with surprise, before obediently stepping aside.

Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi exchanged puzzled looks. They didn't ask when facing the Wolf General earlier, eager to leave as soon as possible. As for these twenty-meter-tall wolves, they couldn't speak to them.

After exchanging a glance, they prepared to continue on their way. However, Zhong Shan still looked around carefully.

This was a territory inhabited by a wolf pack. With hundreds of mountains surrounding them, all under the control of the wolves, and many powerful wolves like the twenty-meter-tall one they encountered just now, there were probably over a hundred of them here.

Zhong Shan glanced around and then flew slowly into the northeast with Bei Qingsi. The Wolf Territory was extremely dangerous. Zhong Shan was unique, and Bei Qingsi had the Wolf Token. Without the token, entering here would be truly perilous.

Meanwhile, in the northeast of this wolf territory, a group of unfriendly individuals lurked.

At the forefront was a man in red, dressed like a scholar but exuding a sinister aura. Surrounding him were hundreds of men in red attire, slightly different from the previous ones but all wearing uniform clothing and carrying long swords at their waists. They respectfully looked at the man dressed as a scholar.

The scholar's eyes gleamed with a chilling light as he looked at the subordinate kneeling before him.

"Sir, the remnants of the Bei family will be here in less than half an incense stick's time," the subordinate said respectfully.

"Good. Everyone, take note. This time, we must exterminate the remnants of the Bei family. If any of them survive, none of you will either," the scholar said with a tone full of murderous intent.

"Yes," the men immediately responded, their bodies trembling, clearly intimidated by the scholar's authority.

Though Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi were aware of being pursued, they didn't expect this group to be so resourceful. Even in a wolf-infested territory like this, they had managed to assemble a hundred people to intercept them, accurately predicting their route and blocking their way.

Half an incense stick later.

Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi, unaware of the situation, continued flying towards the northeast.

As they conversed, Bei Qingsi's expression suddenly changed, and her flying sword twisted beneath her feet.

"Dang!"

Even though Bei Qingsi realized something was amiss, she was still slightly late. A huge force suddenly collided with the flying sword, causing a loud bang. Bei Qingsi's body was propelled forward, almost falling off.

"Breaking Gang Arrow, quick, land!" Bei Qingsi's figure turned, swiftly descending towards the ground.

Zhong Shan didn't hesitate, following closely behind.

At that moment...

"Swoosh..."

"Swoosh..."

"Swoosh..."

...Six more red arrows shot out rapidly, their speed too fast, reaching Bei Qingsi in an instant. Bei Qingsi waved her hand lightly, and thick ice appeared around her, attempting to block the arrows.

However, the power of the six arrows was too strong. Even though the ice tried to stop them, it shattered instantly, sending ice shards flying. But in doing so, the arrows were slightly diverted, weakening their force.

Even so, Bei Qingsi barely managed to dodge, but her sword handle was struck by one of the arrows.

"Boom!"

Bei Qingsi narrowly escaped.

Zhong Shan was drenched in cold sweat. The arrows were too fast; he wouldn't have been able to avoid them. These people were specifically targeting Bei Qingsi. If one of those arrows had been aimed at him, he wouldn't have stood a chance.

Breaking Gang Arrow? Was this the power of the Breaking Gang Arrow? Arrows capable of breaking through even shields formed from Gang Qi?

"Boom!"

Bei Qingsi landed in a valley and immediately concealed herself. Zhong Shan was still descending rapidly. During his descent, he suddenly saw eighty men in red leap from the surrounding mountains, dressed exactly like those who Bei Qingsi had slain not long ago.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Shan was shocked. Had these people been lying in ambush here all along?

In an instant, Zhong Shan also plunged into the forest, feeling extremely anxious. He suddenly realized that these people's ambush was too perfect.

From all four directions, eighty men in red suddenly appeared. Didn't that mean the central area of this valley was also within their calculations? Wasn't the valley extremely dangerous? Thinking of this, Zhong Shan quickly surveyed his surroundings.

Bei Qingsi was on guard, holding her sword cautiously. Fortunately, there were no ambushes below, as Zhong Shan had feared, but he was still extremely worried.

"You go quickly, they're after me," Bei Qingsi said immediately.

"No, go back, retreat to the wolf territory we just passed through. It'll be safer there," Zhong Shan said immediately.

Seeing Zhong Shan not leaving, Bei Qingsi felt warmth in her heart and nodded. In the dense forest, she and Zhong Shan quickly fled towards the direction they had come from.

With the power of the Breaking Gang Arrow, Bei Qingsi dared not fly anymore at this moment. Fleeing through the forest was the easiest way to conceal themselves.

The two of them rushed away in panic, but the people hunting Bei Qingsi were not easy opponents.

"Surround them!" The first person to spot Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi yelled, and the rest changed their footsteps, quickly rushing towards the valley to surround and capture Bei Qingsi.

Demon Essence Body Technique! Second Layer!

"Surrender," the man overseeing from above suddenly shouted. The pursuers below changed direction.

In the distance, as Bei Qingsi, with Zhong Shan's heightened speed, appeared not far away, they abruptly halted.

A scholarly-looking man with cold eyes seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Behind him, eighteen people held large red bows, each with a Breaking Gang Arrow nocked.

"Release!"

The scholarly man suddenly yelled.

"Swoosh..."

A series of arrow sounds filled the air as eighteen Breaking Gang Arrows shot out rapidly. They were too fast. Seeing this scene, Zhong Shan's heart sank. How could there be so many this time? They didn't even exchange words, they just attacked upon meeting?

"Boom..."

Bei Qingsi's white sword pierced into the ground, causing a massive wave to erupt from the earth, seemingly drawing out all the water underground and turning it into endless ice, blocking all around. In an instant, the wave and ice covered everything, enveloping Bei Qingsi and Zhong Shan inside.

However, the Breaking Gang Arrows were too powerful. They quickly pierced through the ice, embedding themselves inside.

From the outside, only a shadow could be seen. It appeared as though Bei Qingsi had been pierced by the eighteen Breaking Gang Arrows. But everyone knew that she was unharmed; otherwise, the ice wouldn't have remained intact.

Indeed, inside the ice, Bei Qingsi and Zhong Shan stood in another location, with Bei Qingsi projecting her image using light.

"Release!"

The scholarly man shouted again.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Eighteen Breaking Gang Arrows once again pierced Bei Qingsi's body inside the ice, but she remained unscathed.

"Stop," the scholarly man ordered.

Meanwhile, the eighty men in red also surrounded them.

Zhong Shan felt that the strength of these eighty people was at least at the Golden Core stage. A hundred Golden Core cultivators? Such a bold move. What kind of organization was this?

On the ground, water was still being drawn out by Bei Qingsi. Without a large river, there was only tree water and underground water. The more water Bei Qingsi drew out, the drier the surroundings became.

But Bei Qingsi had no choice but to continue.

The ice grew thicker and thicker, providing increasing safety for Zhong Shan. However, this safety was only temporary. As soon as they stepped out, a large number of Breaking Gang Arrows would surely be shot at them.
