Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

Slap, slap, slap!

"Interesting, really interesting." The werewolf standing at the door clapped and laughed, "He always kept me from acting, worrying about attracting the court's attention. I didn't expect you to kill him so cleanly."

"Hey, you killed your court's official. According to your own laws, you are to be executed, aren't you?"

"Did anyone see me do it?" Shen Qing looked around and asked in confusion, "No, I don't think so."

The smirk on the werewolf's face paused.

Shen Qing slowly stepped forward, smiling slightly as he spoke, "As I see it, it clearly was you, the Wolf Demon, that killed Lord Zhou, wasn't it?"

The corners of the werewolf's mouth twitched involuntarily; it had never seen someone as shamelessly brazen as Shen Qing.

"Looks like you want to kill me?"

"What else? A life for a life. Just because you are a demon doesn't mean you're an exception."

"Very well, very well." The Wolf Demon's face turned a ghastly hue, "Since you wish to die, I shall fulfill your wish. If you amuse me, perhaps I'll leave your body to remain a half-corpse."

The werewolf casually tossed the severed head he was holding in his hand.

A fresh, blood-soaked head rolled limply towards Shen Qing.

Shen Qing looked down and recognized the servant he had earlier sent to skin the wolf, who happened to encounter this Wolf Demon and was brutally killed on the spot.

He withdrew his gaze and fearlessly stepped over the scattered head on the ground.

Shen Qing held a knife in his right hand, standing in front of this half-human, half-demon Wolf Demon.

"Shall we try?"

This Wolf Demon was large, standing upright in human form, towering over Shen Qing by more than half a foot.

Its body was covered with mottled grey fur, and its eyes were blood-red.

The corners of its mouth split up to its ears, revealing two rows of sharp fangs gleaming with cold light. Drool dripped slowly from its fangs, emitting a nauseating stench.

This Wolf Demon was starkly different from those Shen Qing had slain before, giving him an exceedingly dangerous intuition.

Shen Qing clenched the knife in his hand, no longer wasting words with the Wolf Demon. He suddenly stomped his feet, his figure burst forth, his muscles swelling and tensing like an inflated balloon, charging straight towards the Wolf Demon.

In the midst of the Werewolf's surprised gaze, the tip of the long knife, amidst the howling wind, silently penetrated its chest.

"Puff!"

A light sound emerged abruptly between the man and the demon.

A thick scent of blood suddenly permeated the air.

It all happened so suddenly, so swiftly that it was almost impossible to react.

It wasn't until Shen Qing gently exhaled a turbid breath that the werewolf at the door was jolted awake by the sudden stench of blood.

Its body violently trembled, then burst out in a deafening roar.

The roar rolled out like thunder, instantly filling the entire village, shaking the spirit of anyone who heard it.

The Wolf Demon's massive body shook violently with anger and unwillingness, its drooping eyelids revealing eyes full of fierce light from the shadows.

"You're courting death!"

The werewolf's deep growl rumbled in its throat.

The next moment, the werewolf's towering body seemed to be ignited by crimson flames, emitting a bright and eerie light. The originally ferocious wound on its chest incredibly contracted and healed under the bath of blood light, returning to flawless condition.

It suddenly leapt up, its massive body nearly blocking half the space of the hall, casting a dim shadow over the room's light.

Surging demonic energy emanated from the Wolf Demon. It swung its giant claw, carrying a momentum that seemed to split mountains and cleave valleys, and viciously lashed down at Shen Qing!

Shen Qing's expression tensed, and he hastily employed the movement technique from the "Hunting Scripture."

With continuous support from the True Qi, Shen Qing exhibited the movement technique from the "Hunting Scripture" to its utmost, flipping and maneuvering in the air, ingeniously avoiding this seemingly fierce attack.

From a distance, it looked as though a hunter was toying with his game.

Having missed its strike, the werewolf's earlier arrogance was instantly replaced by raging fury, and it couldn't help but howl skyward, its voice filled with unwilling anger.

As the Wolf Demon howled, it threw a heavy punch wrapped in a towering crimson blood evil, like a raging tide surging out, blocking all Shen Qing's paths of escape.

With no way to avoid it, Shen Qing quickly grasped his long knife, positioning it horizontally in front of him.

The blade's light clashed fiercely with the blood-red specter, exploding into a deafening roar.

Shen Qing's figure seemed to be torn apart by an invisible, immense force.

The long blade in his hand could hardly withstand that terrible force, instantly shattering and scattering in all directions.

Bang!

Shen Qing's figure was sent flying back by this force, like a kite with its string cut, skidding six or seven meters before he barely stabilized himself, his back foot landing on a floor tile, breaking it and kicking up a cloud of dust.

A cruel, yet unsatisfied smile hooked on the fierce face of the Wolf Demon.

"I say, is this the extent of your strength?"

The Wolf Demon's face slightly startled, "What?"

When the dust settled, Shen Qing's straight figure was revealed.

After the exchange just now, Shen Qing was already aware that the Wolf Demon in front of him had considerable cultivation, and mere bravery with fists and feet was no longer effective.

His mind stirred as he rallied his Qi Sea.

In an instant, the Qi Sea churned. True Qi surged like a river, tumultuously flowing through his meridians, quickly forming a layer of dazzling light membrane on his body's surface, making him look crystal clear, radiating out multicolored brilliance.

Shen Qing let go of the remaining half of the knife handle.

"I say, is this all the strength you have?"

As soon as his words fell, without the slightest hesitation, Shen Qing swiftly formed seals with his hands and charged towards the Wolf Demon.

A Sky Flipping Seal containing the power to overturn rivers and seas strikingly took shape, carrying the might to destroy everything, and powerfully hit the massive body of the Wolf Demon!

Boom!

The main hall resounded with a thunderous crash, as if heaven and earth were splitting apart.

The demon energy swirling around the Wolf Demon, along with the surrounding furniture and wood splinters, was torn into pieces.

"Wow!"

The Wolf Demon couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.

He had never expected to be pushed to this extent by a mere human, and true anger flared in his heart.

"Mere food, daring to act like this!"

A ferocious smile curved the Wolf Demon's lips, as his muscles bulged out like surging hills, a force far more intense and nearly tangible surged out from his body, instantly filling the entire main hall.

"Hmm?"

Shen Qing, being in the midst of it, felt a surge of bloodthirsty, self-destructive impulses.

He knew this was the natural talent of this Wolf Demon.

Immediately, he exerted his full power to drive the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill!

True Qi reversed!

First Transformation!

Second Transformation!

…

Fifth Transformation!

"Break!"

With a thunderous noise!

A scorching aura, like the blazing sun overhead, rippled between them like a massive wave!

The Sky Flipping Seal, now amplified five-fold, reached a terrifying degree, making the defense of the Wolf Demon seem incredibly fragile.

His internal organs were completely shattered, and the Demon Core was severely damaged.

"Come on! This is more like it! Let me see, just how many more surprises you can bring me!"

Shen Qing's True Qi surged wildly once again as he formed another Sky Flipping Seal…
