“Boom!”

The deafening sound of thunderous wind roared as the Gang Wind generated by Mu Yangwen’s fists was effortlessly torn apart, with three arrows striking him in both shoulders and the chest.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

A series of explosive sounds linked together before Mu Yangwen could even let out a scream; his arms were blown off from the shoulders, and his body was torn in two from the chest, blood and flesh flew everywhere, his mutilated limbs thrown out and smashed onto the ground.

The roar of anger still echoed in the air, while the chaotic Spiritual Energy had already dissipated.

Mu Yangwen was dead!

“Elder Mu!”

The three Innate Martial Artists from the East Star Sect were stunned, until the splashing blood and chunks of flesh hit their bodies, which jolted them back to reality. They cried out in shock, their eyes wide with disbelief that Mu Yangwen, who was fine just a second ago, had now died a bloody death right before their eyes!

“This…”

Helian Yuan and the other warriors of the Spirit Taoist Sect felt their scalps tingle as they sucked in a breath of cold air at the sight of the mangled corpse pieces on the ground.

Just moments earlier, Mu Yangwen was making fierce threats, saying that after some time, the East Star Sect would make the Spirit Taoist Sect pay a hefty price, but before he could finish speaking, an arrow shot from afar, splitting into three amidst the storming thunder. Mu Yangwen had almost no ability to resist and died on the spot, his body torn apart and scattered throughout the Pear Orchard.

“On guard! On guard!”

Helian Yuan shouted loudly, alerting the others to stay vigilant, but his heart also sank. If that unknown and mysterious expert could kill Mu Yangwen with a single arrow, then most likely, they could kill him too.

None of them had the power to resist if they wanted to kill anyone present; death was certain!

“Who… who could it be? Is there such an expert near the Spirit Taoist Sect?”

Chai Fei stared intently in the direction from where the arrows had come, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead, unable to guess who had fired that astonishing arrow. It certainly couldn’t be someone from the East Star Sect, or else they wouldn’t have killed their own Mu Yangwen with the first shot.

As for the three martial artists from the East Star Sect, they too were rigid, standing in place, daring not to move a muscle. They clearly felt a presence far away, locking onto them. If they dared to make any sudden moves, they would meet the same fate as Mu Yangwen!

“They’re coming!”

Helian Yuan and the others had solemn expressions as they saw a figure approaching from afar. Without a doubt, it was the person who had just killed Mu Yangwen.

A dozen eyes, all unblinkingly focused on the distant figure.

However, as the figure got closer, both Helian Yuan and Qian Rui’s faces revealed an incredulous look, and even Helian Yuan, who had seen his fair share of tumult, couldn’t help but wonder if he was seeing things.

“Su… Elder Su!”

Qian Rui exclaimed in disbelief, because the person, cloaked in black attire, handsome in appearance, holding a large bow, was none other than Su Changkong!

“Elder Su? Is he that Guest Elder Su Helai?”

Upon hearing Qian Rui’s reference to Su Changkong, Chai Fei similarly reacted with astonishment.

Su Helai was a Guest Elder of the Spirit Taoist Sect, known as a freak of nature who had stepped into the Innate Realm just a few years ago, with a record of killing an Innate Martial Artist despite not yet being one himself.

Such was his monstrosity that he had even secretly learned the Heaven Silkworm Technique, leading the Spirit Taoist Sect to willingly form an alliance and invite him to become a Guest Elder.

But wasn’t he just someone who had reached Innate a few years ago? How could he kill Mu Yangwen, who had opened six Heavenly Pulses, with a single arrow?

It wasn’t just Chai Fei who was shocked; Helian Yuan, who had had many dealings with Su Changkong, also felt his mind go blank: “Elder Su… has reached this level of power? That arrow just now… was it really his doing?”

Of course, Helian Yuan knew Su Changkong was very strong, but he had no idea he was this powerful!

After all, the only time Helian Yuan and the others knew or saw Su Changkong take action was when he had once killed Zheng Feisha, who had come to steal corpses.

In the years that followed, Su Changkong occasionally left the sect but mostly spent his time in closed-door cultivation. And now, his next action was to kill an Earth Flower Realm powerhouse who had opened six Heavenly Pulses with a single arrow, a progress that was beyond their understanding.

“Sect Master, what’s going on here?”

Su Changkong broke the silence as he looked around with confusion.

Yesterday, Su Changkong had left the Spirit Taoist Sect early to visit Feiyun City, to ask Tang Ming, the manager of the Cangyun Pavilion, if there had been any progress in obtaining a high-tier Spirit Pill Recipe.

Unfortunately, the outcome was disappointing. No major sect would leak a high-tier Spirit Pill Recipe, and despite Su Changkong’s generous offer to purchase with Innate Qi, the Cangyun Sect didn’t take the short-sighted action of selling their sect’s high-tier Spirit Pill Recipe to Su Changkong.

With no alternatives, Su Changkong asked Tang Ming to inquire with the Cangyun Sect if he could buy some finished high-tier Spirit Pills. He placed a pre-order with the sect for some and then returned to the Spirit Taoist Sect.

Returning without success, Su Changkong was undoubtedly a bit frustrated.

And just as he was nearing Zhongling Mountain, where the Spirit Taoist Sect was located, he felt a violent fluctuation of Spiritual Energy. Innate Martial Artists were fighting, and not just one. Curious, Su Changkong decided to check out the situation.

From afar, Su Changkong saw Helian Yuan and the others in combat.

And when one of the Earth Flower Realm warriors threatened to retreat, Su Changkong did not stand idly by, letting him escape. Although he didn’t know the man’s identity, his demeanor was that of an avenging enemy.

Without much thought, Su Changkong released an arrow from afar, killing the strongest among them, an Earth Flower Realm warrior, with a single shot. With the rest stunned into immobility, Su Changkong approached to find out exactly what was going on.
