In the demon world, the stunt of piercing a Yang with a hundred steps is nothing new. With Qianqi's archery skills, it would not be difficult for him to pierce a Yang with a thousand steps.
But this time, after the initial arrow missed, his proud feeling failed. Even after Ouyang Xiaoleng and Lingyu repeatedly took risks and created perfect opportunities for him, he still failed to shoot the one-eyed manta ray behind the steel-armored king crab.
Whether the arrow is accurate or not, the most important thing is the rhythm of the arrow. If the rhythm changes, it means that the movement is not stable enough. Among the factors that affect the rhythm, physical strength and mood are crucial. After a tough battle with Yasha, Qianqi lost not only his physical strength, but also his sky-high self-confidence. In addition, Yu Chan's death also had a big impact on him.
He took a deep breath and fired another arrow. As a result, the arrow only bounced off the crab shell next to the one-eyed manta ray before falling to one side.
Ouyang Xiaoleng, who was watching him coldly, didn't know what to say to encourage him. It was difficult for him to say words to comfort others, and it was rare for him to see such a dejected Qianqi.
Just as he was hesitating, Ling Yu spoke.
The handsome young man raised his lips and said: "While you were away, I told Sister Xia that if I could subdue this monster, she would marry me as my wife! Now since you two insist on interfering, then let's Let's compete to see who can give it a fatal blow first!" Then he deliberately glanced upward at Qianqi and added, "Stupid dragon, I think you should give up!"
His words suddenly stimulated Qian Qi's nerves, making him feel like a big bell was knocking heavily in his ears, which he had just been confused about. He didn't want to give up Xia Qiu to anyone else. Even the new master of the demon world, Ouyang Xiaoleng, couldn't make him back down, let alone such a feminine young man.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the feeling every time he aimed the Shenlong Fire Bow at the target, the angle between his eyes and arms, and the rhythm of his breathing when he cast the spell and fired the arrow.
At the same time, the big crab just shook off Ling Yu's jade sleeve brocade, and swung its giant pincers towards Ouyang Xiaoleng. Ouyang Xiaoleng did not panic, turned around to dodge, and swiped his sword diagonally past him. On its side, although it failed to cause damage to it, its attack was paused for a few seconds.
Qianqi knew that this was his chance, and victory or defeat depended on this. At this second, except for him, the arrow about to leave the bow of Shenlong's fire bow, and the ugly one-eyed devil fish, everything in this space did not exist.
The arrow connected to his bloodline came out of the string, bringing out a white light in the air. It was inserted directly on the head of the one-eyed manta fish. It shook a few times and then shrank towards the hole behind the big crab. But he was stuck there by the arrow and was in a dilemma.
But Ouyang Xiaoleng did not hesitate, jumped up from the ground and swung Shen Bing sideways, and the head of the one-eyed manta fish flew out together with the arrow that hit it.
"Long wait!" Although Qian Qi was telling Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ling Yu, it was more like saying to himself.
Without the guidance of the one-eyed manta ray, the big crab's eyes are useless. It keeps rushing around in the cave, dancing its giant pincers like crazy.
Ling Yu hurriedly flew into the air, but when he lowered his head, he saw that Ouyang Xiaoleng did not dodge, but still stood on the spot facing the big crab. When it hit him, an incredible scene happened. Ouyang Xiaoleng knocked the big crab to the ground with a sword technique that seemed extremely easy, just like when he dealt with Yaksha's flying shield. He once again Successfully use force to fight.
The big crab was still unwilling to give in. It struggled in the air to turn its heavy body around, but the three teenagers could not fulfill its wish. Ling Yu threw out the jade sleeve brocade to wrap around several of its crab legs, and then tied them together as soon as he pulled it back.
Qianqi, as if he had a mental connection with him, summoned the Jade Chan Sword and rushed downwards to insert the sword into its body.
The big crab twitched a few times and finally calmed down after a series of moans.
With the death of the third form of the shield, cracks began to appear on the fish habitat embedded in the amethyst. Those small cracks slowly connected into pieces. Finally, with a click, the entire rock was completely shattered, and the person kneeling on the ground Lu Yin, the container chosen by the shield skin, also foamed at the mouth and fell down.
Ling Yu touched the wound on his arm and asked, "Who won our competition just now?"
"I was the one who gave him the last blow!" Qianqi responded immediately, returning to his usual competitive spirit.
"Well, it makes up for the one hundred and eighty arrows you missed before!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said calmly.
"How can there be so many?!" Qianqi glanced at him, thinking that not only did he have a face of ice, but he didn't speak much but was often vicious.
"Hmph, it's a tie this time!" Although Ling Yu was not convinced, he had to admit that this time he had to admit that without the cooperation of the two of them, he would not have been able to destroy the invincible monster Shield Skin.
"How to deal with this guy?" Qianqi pointed at Lu Yin lying on the ground and asked.
"Bring it back to the Amber Dragon Palace and let your father punish you!" Ouyang Xiaoleng replied without hesitation.
"Let's go find Sister Xia quickly. I don't know how she is doing!" Ling Yu said anxiously.
So Ouyang Xiaoleng and Lingyu dragged the half-dead Lu Yin, and Qian Qi carried Yu Chan's body and walked outside the lake bottom temple.
Xia Qiu, who broke out of the tower with Bai Long, quickly recovered from the state of soul separation.
After she woke up, she immediately went to see the Amber Dragon King next to her, and saw that his breathing was steady, and the color on his cheeks had not only returned, but the previous painful expression was gone.
After confirmation by the palace doctor, the old Dragon King was out of danger. Upon hearing this, her tense nerves finally relaxed. She originally wanted to wait until Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others returned, but she soon fell asleep and slept soundly.
The little blue fish that guided her appeared in her dream again, but the strange thing was that the little fish was swimming in the air.
It swam across from her and transformed into a jade cicada. Xia Qiu actually had a premonition that the little fish who helped her might be Yu Chan's soul, and at this moment she became even more convinced.
Yuchan, who was wearing a blue dress, walked to a window, and the sunlight hit her light-colored hair and fair skin, which were almost transparent. She turned back with tears in her blue eyes and said softly: "I know you saved the Dragon King. The young master and the Demon King Fox have also successfully destroyed Yuqi Rock, so I can leave with peace of mind!"
Xia Qiu also walked to her side and looked out the window. This place was between two misty mountain peaks, and a river of rays of color like clouds and mist stretched straight into the sky. A large white boat is docked on the shore. The hull is decorated with ancient totems, and the oars protrude from the holes on both sides of the boat.
She couldn't help but ask: "Where is this place? What does that ship do?"
"That is the ship that will take me to the Infinite Heaven. The Infinite Heaven is where all monsters return after death. The monsters who have not committed any sins in life board the soul-saving ship from here, end their desolate life, and go to Wuyou the other side.”
Speaking of the immeasurable heaven, Yu Chan's eyes showed longing. Mermaids are born to drift with the flow and cannot escape the fate of becoming other people's commodities and slaves. Perhaps only after death can they gain true freedom in the infinite heaven.
"It's just like the paradise we often say!" Xia Qiu nodded.
"I envy you for being loved by the Demon King Fox! But I know that the young master also loves you, so no matter what choice you make, someone will always be sad... Alas, but this has nothing to do with me anymore, please do it for me Say goodbye to them!"
Yuchan no longer choked, but laughed. There was no jealousy or sorrow in her eyes, only boundless peace.
"Buzz~~~"
The simple and melodious sound of the conch horn came from the window. The sound echoed in the valley, as if it had the power to summon souls.
"It's time to set sail, let's just say goodbye!" Yuchan took Xia Qiu's hand and shook it, then walked outside without looking back.
"Take care!" Xia Qiu called after her.
"Take care!" She responded without looking back, and boarded the ship.
Xia Qiu didn't know how long she slept before she woke up. At this moment, she was lying on a bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw the faces of the three teenagers waiting for her beside the bed.
"My father is fine!"
"Sister Xia is awake!"
"Xia Qiu..."
The voices of the teenagers mingled together and surrounded her.
After Lu Yin was escorted back to the Amber Dragon Palace, he was temporarily imprisoned. What to do with him would have to be decided after the Amber Dragon King recovered.
He heard that the shield spirit, the ancestor of the mermaid, was defeated, Yuqi Rock was destroyed, and Yaksha fled Dongyao, so he knew that his sinful body must be desperate. Thinking that he was going to die anyway, it would be better to kill himself happily, so he strangled himself with a chain.
Without the suppression of Garuda's Feather, the Amber Dragon King's soul regained freedom, and he soon recovered his health. After seeing Xia Qiu's abilities in Fulong Tower, he was even more impressed with this human blood pact maker, and also understood why his son was so enamored with this girl.
Dongyao Shuicheng regained peace, and everything in the city started running step by step again, just like a stopped mechanical watch being wound up again.
The mermaids no longer worship the temple of the ancestor shield skin, so they are not too concerned about the disappearance of Yuqi Rock. But after experiencing these twists and turns, the Amber Dragon King began to re-examine the reforms he made to the city when he took over Dongyao.
At that time, he only wanted to make this place prosperous. His idea of ordering the mermaids to move to the shore in order to facilitate economic development, and even abandoning tradition may not be very comprehensive. He decided to rebuild a temple on the shore, firstly to comfort the undead souls of Shield Skin, the ancestor of the mermaid clan, and secondly, so that the descendants of the mermaid clan would not forget their true nature.
Xia Qiu and Qian Qi talked about everything they saw when they met Yu Chan in her sleep, including the pure white soul-saving ship, the ray-colored river in the valley, and how she boarded the ship to go to the realm called Infinite Heaven. place.
Knowing that Wuliang Tian Realm is a carefree and heaven-like world, Qian Qi is no longer so sad and finally accepts the fact that Yu Chan is dead. He decided to plead with his father to bury Yu Chan as his own sister, in order to truly say goodbye to her.
