Cultivating in Different Professions

Chapter 213: Chapter 146: Shoot to Kill

BOOM!

Su Mu crashed heavily onto the top of the city wall.

At the same time, that blood-red arrow tore right through the body of the Tier Two Demon.

The demon’s tough body, which even a full-powered strike from Su Mu had only managed to graze, was like paper mache before the Blood Arrow. It was instantly torn to shreds.

The Tier Two Demon didn’t even have time to scream before it was reduced to a rain of flesh and blood.

The Blood Arrow, its momentum unchecked, shot hundreds of zhang into the sky before exploding with a deafening BOOM.

A firework seemed to blossom in the air, illuminating the entirety of Wuling City.

Su Mu’s face was filled with utter shock.

He hadn’t been this stunned even when he saw the Tier Three Demon earlier.

’A Tier Two Demon... I killed it just like that?’

’It was practically annihilated, not even a scrap left behind!’

Su Mu knew his own strength. Just moments ago, he had nearly been killed by that very demon.

With his power, killing a Tier Two Demon should have been impossible.

That could only mean one thing: there was something special about the bow in his hands!

Su Mu whipped his head around to look toward Chen Song.

He saw a demon pinning Chen Song down, its eyes glazed over as it stared at the firework in the sky, drool dripping onto Chen Song’s neck.

If the spectacle of the Blood Arrow hadn’t caught its attention, it would have already bitten through Chen Song’s neck.

This demon wasn’t the only one distracted by the firework display from the Blood Arrow.

Su Mu rolled to his feet, and the Thunder Shocking Saber flew from his hand.

SCHLICK!

The Thunder Shocking Saber carried the demon’s body through the air for several zhang before pinning it to the city wall.

"Chen Song, where did this bow come from?"

Su Mu flashed to Chen Song’s side, pulling him up as he asked.

"It was a Female Captain. She was tall... and very beautiful."

Chen Song replied subconsciously, still shaken.

’A female Taiping Captain...’ Su Mu had a realization. ’That must be Luo Anning.’

’If it had been Zhang Chenchen, Chen Song would have recognized her, since he’s met her before.’

’Just as I thought. This bow must be a Profound Weapon from the Inner City. No one but Miss Luo could have brought it out.’

"Brother Mu, it’s me."

Just then, a face appeared before Su Mu, smiling in greeting.

"What are you two doing here?"

Su Mu finally looked over at Wang Guan and Xiang Xiaoyuan, who was beside him.

The female voice that had warned him just now belonged to Xiang Xiaoyuan.

"It’s dangerous here. Get off the wall. We can talk later."

Seeing more demons charging at them, Su Mu had no time for further conversation. He slung the bow over his back, and his Ziwei Soft Sword was instantly unsheathed, piercing through a demon’s throat.

As he was about to press forward and kill another demon, a wave of weakness suddenly washed over him. He staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

"Captain Su, that’s the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow. It requires blood as an arrow to be used, and only those who have undergone nine blood exchanges can wield it."

Xiang Xiaoyuan flashed forward to support Su Mu. With her other hand, she surprisingly flicked out a longsword and killed a demon.

Ignoring Su Mu’s astonished gaze, she spoke quickly, "Using it consumes an enormous amount of energy. Even someone at the Perfection stage of nine blood exchanges can’t fire many arrows."

Su Mu gave Xiang Xiaoyuan a meaningful look. Wasting no words, he asked, "Can it kill a Tier Three Demon?"

"Others can’t, but you can!"

Xiang Xiaoyuan leaned close to Su Mu’s ear, her breath brushing against his face, and said in a voice only he could hear, "Your Profound Yellow Blood can unleash its greatest power. It will be strong enough to kill an ordinary Tier Three Demon!"

"Good."

Su Mu’s expression showed no surprise as he spoke in a low voice.

"Protect Wang Guan. Fall back."

He said to Xiang Xiaoyuan, then took a deep breath and shot forward.

With the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow on his back, his Ziwei Soft Sword became a blur of sword light, carving a path to the edge of the wall.

SWISH!

Su Mu threw his Ziwei Soft Sword, pinning a demon to the top of the rampart.

Then he straightened his back and took the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow from his shoulders.

He swiped his palm across the bowstring, instantly staining it red with blood.

Then, Su Mu forcefully drew the bow.

A faint golden light appeared on the surface of his body. His Profound Yellow Blood surged within him, making a sound like rushing water.

In an instant, the bow was drawn to a full moon. A crimson glow burst from the bowstring, flowed over the bow’s body in a flash, and finally coalesced into a crystal-clear, blood-red arrow.

"Die!"

Su Mu roared.

VMMMM!

The blood-red arrow shot forth from the Five Flames Heaven-Shaking Bow.

A sharp whistle echoed across the wall. The moment the arrow was released, it unexpectedly burst into multicolored flames.

Wherever the arrow passed, any demon that touched the flames it stirred up was immediately engulfed in a raging inferno.

No matter how they struggled or rolled on the ground, the flames could not be extinguished.

Within a few breaths, they were burned to black ash that scattered in the wind.

In what felt like an instant, the arrow crossed a distance of ten li, leaving a scorched path in its wake.

This path was a full zhang wide, creating a vacuum in the battlefield.

And the arrow had already reached a Tier Three Demon.

ROAR!

The Tier Three Demon’s face showed a mix of fury and gravity. It let out a furious roar and swatted forward with its claw.

Its body was the size of a small mountain, and its claw alone was about a zhang wide. The swat carried a ferocious power.

In a flash of lightning and flint, the blood-red arrow collided with the Tier Three Demon’s claw.
