"Xiaoyu'Er, is this the person who gave you the clue?"

Shen Muyu heard the voice, walked over and looked carefully at Tie Kuang, shaking her head.

"It's not him."

The old man with the wine gourd heard this and slapped Tie Kuang on the forehead.

Tie Kuang's eyes almost popped out, but he could only watch as the palm imprint came down.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Shen Muyu frowned, "Uncle Master..."

"Don't worry, I didn't kill him."

"But it's not that I want to lecture you, it's good to have a kind heart while traveling the Jianghu, but you shouldn't overdo it. Sometimes, when you need to kill, you must kill. If I weren't here today, this person's strength could have ruined your plans..."

Tie Kuang had obtained the innate technique from the Song Clan, and now is considered Half-Step Innate.

Listening to the old man with the wine gourd start his lecture on the Killing Dao again, Shen Muyu rolled her eyes and said nothing more.

She just stared at the droppings on the ground, slightly lost in thought.

She hadn't been in Qingshuo County for long, but she'd heard of some 'big figures' in the city.

This Great Beast's droppings were indeed from a Hall Master within the Iron Armor Sect.

Xu Guang?

Seems like that's the name, and he had a good reputation in Qingshuo County.

But why would he give her information on Ding Rong?

And how did he know they were tracking Ding Rong?

"Xiaoyu'Er, what do you think Ding Rong came all this way for? I inquired, and this Qingshuo County hasn't had any ghost sightings for many years, so it's unlikely an innate spiritual object exists here."

Shen Muyu slightly shook her head, she didn't understand either.

The more remote the place, the more peaceful it is, which is actually not a good thing for martial artists.

There's a small rumor in the Jianghu that the easier a place gives birth to ghosts, the more likely an innate spiritual object might be nearby.

She couldn't quite figure out Yu Rong's reason for coming here, just as she couldn't understand why Xu Guang was willing to provide them with clues to track Yu Rong.

Of course, she was even more curious about how Xu Guang knew they were tracking Yu Rong.

...

Whether it was the two people from Jiufeng Mountain or Tie Kuang, their strength was strong, and their movements controlled so subtly that General Wei, a bit farther away, had a hard time perceiving them.

In the forest.

The giant beast knocked down little trees, like a bulldozer crushing through.

After toppling the big tree, its long nose swept over the branches, rolling up the tender buds on the small trees.

Xu Guang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but picture a scene in his mind.

Hundreds of Great Beasts in the Kunlun Mountain Range, like bulldozers, toppling the trees in the mountain ranges and devouring them...

Truly... too brutal.

Along the way, Yu Rong and Xu Guang spoke little, seriously leading the way in front.

Xu Guang squinted at the other party, his hand unconsciously resting on the silver-white Snow Dragon Bow.

At this distance, he had some confidence that he could perform the Dragon Falling Arrow Skill to shoot Yu Rong dead on the spot.

Once he knew the place, he would try to shoot an arrow.

...

Deep in the mountains, in a deep canyon shrouded in mist.

Above the canyon, various birds hovered and flew.

Entering this canyon, General Wei became noticeably restless. Through the spiritual link, Xu Guang knew this was the place where the Dragon Blood Stone was hidden.

He felt reassured.

With this coordinate, this trip wouldn't be in vain,

Incense ash turned in his palms, Xu Guang's eyes suddenly flashed gray.

In the world of Yin-Yang Qi Observation, everything before his eyes changed completely, with no abnormalities, and even the Yin Qi here was slightly heavier than in the outside forest, but not to the extent that it could give birth to a fierce ghost.

Divine objects hide themselves?

This thought flashed through Xu Guang's mind.

General Wei continued to move forward, its massive body disliking mountain paths, only the dragon blood kept tempting it.

Xu Guang thought at this moment, General Wei was like a donkey with a carrot hanging in front of it.

Snap!

General Wei noticed Xu Guang's sneer, it couldn't talk, but it wasn't dumb, using its long nose to smack Xu Guang's arm.

"Alright, alright, I'm not laughing, stop it, you don't want to miss out on the dragon blood either, right?"

...

The canyon floor's color slightly differed from the outside ground.

Outside, black soil hosted grass, shrubs, or other vines, with occasional protruding rocky tree roots.

But upon entering the canyon, everything changed.

The soil turned grayish-white, seemingly mixed with fine gray and white particles, carrying a damp scent.

Walking on it, it was easy to leave footprints and marks.

General Wei's step left a footprint over thirty centimeters deep.

Moving forward a few hundred meters, Yu Rong stopped.

"Master Xu, over there, leave it to your Great Beast."

Xu Guang looked, and his expression changed instantly.

In the distance, at the valley's depths, was a flat surface like a terrace, but at its end stood a massive purple-red boulder, some soil-less areas faintly revealing milky-white edges, showing blood-like things that flowed inside like clouds.

Dragon Blood Stone!

General Wei also became excited, yearning like never before.

It was a treasure that could transform its bloodline.

Yu Rong lightly landed, sending a hand claw from his hand, which hit a distant rock wall, and he seemed to soar in the air, hanging above.

"Master Xu, the meteorite is yours, but please stick to the agreement and move it away."

The Dragon Blood Stone was a treasure, but Yu Rong had no intention of keeping it. After all, it's too hard, and he planned to take the innate spiritual object below with his senior brother before reporting the Dragon Blood Stone to the master as a foundation for advancement.

This Dragon Blood Stone, nearly indestructible with a weight of hundreds of thousands of pounds, was not easy to move, so he wanted to use Xu Guang.

As for afterwards...

Of course, it's to kill Xu Guang. Why leave him alive till the new year?

What surprised him was that Xu Guang and General Wei were standing two to three hundred meters away from the purple boulder, motionless.

"What does Master Xu mean by this?"

Xu Guang awkwardly smiled, "Mr. Yu, apologies, Xu Mou suddenly has a stomach ache, could we perhaps arrange for General Wei to come another day?"

Yu Rong was initially stunned, then a flash of anger swept through his eyes.

"What does Master Xu mean by this?"

Having seen the Dragon Blood Stone, Xu Guang couldn't be bothered to act anymore, "I said I've got a stomach ache, are your ears deaf?"

Yu Rong stared intensely at Xu Guang, then suddenly a bizarre smile surfaced on his face.

"Do you feel something strange?"

Having said this, he quietly observed Xu Guang, waiting for something.

Xu Guang leisurely took out a large elixir from General Wei's side bag, which General Wei then ingested, and thereafter, Xu Guang flashed a radiant smile at Yu Rong.

"I'm a pharmacist, carrying antidotes with me is quite normal, right?"

Yu Rong's expression immediately turned ugly.

Shit!

General Wei let out a long howl, sweeping his long nose across the ground, and suddenly a man-height boulder flew up like a cannonball towards Yu Rong.

Boom!

Even though Yu Rong was hanging on a cliff, his actions weren't hindered in the slightest. At the very last moment, he threw out his claw, and his figure suddenly soared dozens of meters higher.

What remarkable lightweight skill.

Xu Guang was secretly astonished, suppressing the urge to take out the Snow Dragon Bow.

He finally understood why those veteran experts didn't use their ultimate moves right away in battles.

After all, ultimate moves are ultimate because of their long cooldown and high consumption.

He didn't know Yu Rong well. Although he was confident in his arrow skill, if it was dodged, what then?

That would take away his trump card, and at General Wei's speed, chasing Yu Rong in the mountains and forests would be too challenging.

He needed to observe Yu Rong's movement patterns, lock onto his qi, to ensure a sure hit.

The boulder exploded fiercely on the cliff, and a burst of dust erupted into the air.

This valley was very humid, so the dust quickly settled.

"I underestimated this brute."

Yu Rong grabbed a stone on the cliff with one hand, looking down at Xu Guang with icy eyes.

"I'll give you one last chance, or else..."

Without the Great Beast's help, it would take some effort to move the Dragon Blood Meteorite.

Xu Guang picked up the bow amid Yu Rong's surprised gaze!

"We've no grievances nor enmity, but why do you want to harm me?"

A sudden flash of coldness appeared between Xu Guang's eyes.

Yu Rong sneered, suddenly throwing out two elixir pills which exploded in mid-air.

In an instant, the valley seemed to boil with shadows appearing among the cliffs.

Are these... Demon Beasts?

Once these demon beasts appeared, they seemed to go mad, charging towards General Wei.

These demon beasts mostly lived in this area and had undergone significant changes in appearance due to prolonged exposure to the Dragon Blood Stone, displaying several traits of dragon transformation.

General Wei let out a long, skyward howl, as if sensing humiliation, it suddenly took a step forward, and an intense aura locked onto a double-horned wolf beast in front of it, raising its pillar-like leg.

Boom!

The ground shook with it, and the entire valley seemed to resonate with this low thud.

Blood mist filled the sky, and that wolf beast was almost instantly turned into pulp.

This scene made Yu Rong's heart pound wildly.

This absolute brute force and bloody crushing display was soul-stirring.

On the other side.

A strange light flickered across Xu Guang's face, feeling a peculiar force gathering within his body.

The "Horizontal Pressure" was in effect.

He looked at Yu Rong with a peculiar gaze.

"I'm truly envious of you, being able to witness the peak strike of the Seventh Grade Realm."

Crack~

As the bowstring was drawn back.

The wind and clouds surged!

In the damp valley, it was as if a mist arose, continuously gathering, with rain slowly falling from the sky.

This was the upgraded Level 4 Fallen Dragon, the first time Xu Guang gave it his all.

His right hand was taut, as if touching a beloved one.

The qi and blood within him were like being locked by an invisible giant mouth, frantically pouring into the Snow Dragon Bow.

Screech~

A sharp whistle.

A chaotic, disordered sound, like countless beasts roaring and howling.

That was... the Black Arrow activating.

The black arrow pierced through the rain, it wept, like a dragon's lament, carrying vibrations, the whole rain curtain seemed to shiver, the rain seemed to be dyed red, that was the wail of a dragon's death!

The black arrows, wrapped in rain and air, like the air itself became a dragon!

Fallen Dragon!

Fallen Dragon!

As Xu Guang drew the bow, Yu Rong was plunged into a state of frenzy, his extraordinary sixth sense was wildly throbbing, a terror even the Wine Daoist's chase didn't bring.

A life-and-death crisis!

He would die!

Truly die!

This terrifying sense of crisis made Yu Rong feel like going mad.

"Senior Brother, save me!"
