Chapter 0006: Valley of Death
Whoosh
At this moment, even if Liu San was reluctant, he had to move forward. He stealthily approached the front of the giant rock.
The arrow shot forth like a meteor, almost instantaneously arriving before Liu San
What? Is this the Moonfall Bow? Haha, it truly is a case of finding something without any effort after searching high and low. This young master is in need of a good bow. Chen Bo, this lad is entrusted to you. Remember, this young master wants the Moonfall Bow to be intact and undamaged
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Chen Bo's eyes, and then he seemed to transform into a ghost, his figure flickering unpredictably as he floated towards Yang Yi
The sound of hooves echoed, raising clouds of dust.
Yang's gaze was icy as he suddenly released the long arrow with his right hand in the forest.
Yang Yi was quietly crouching under a dense canopy of leaves, her eyes fixed intently through the gaps in the foliage, closely observing the movements in front of the massive rock
Liu San was well aware, and his expression revealed a look of difficulty; he did not wish to sacrifice his life for this debauched young master, as who could know what was hidden behind this massive rock
What? Is the road blocked and the book is gone
Dada!
This is the Valley of Death, and there is a reason it is called that. In this valley, there is only one wooden bridge for passage, with terrifying cliffs on both sides. Falling down would mean a near-certain death, and even crossing it alone can be quite nerve-wracking.
Young Master Bai Yuancheng looked at Yang Shan with great pleasure. Although Yang Shan was an ordinary person and showed no signs of having cultivated her bloodline, her delicate demeanor gave Bai Yuancheng a refreshing feeling. Despite having taken three hundred sixty-four concubines, all of whom were powerful cultivators with strong auras, none possessed the gentle aura that Yang Shan exhibited.
Yang Yi gently took down the Moonfall Bow, nocked an arrow, and smoothly drew the bowstring. The veins on his arm bulged as he controlled the explosive power of his muscles and the flow of his vital energy, swiftly pulling the Moonfall Bow into a full moon shape with minimal effort. Yang Yi could feel the immense power contained within the Moonfall Bow.
After running for several dozen miles, constantly weaving through the mountains and forests, Yang suddenly came to a halt, his ears slightly tilted, faintly hearing the sound of flowing water.
Liu San, go move the boulder, hum! Which scoundrel dares to lay a hand on this young master? Chen Bo, keep a close watch; wherever there is movement, show no mercy! Bai Yuancheng's gaze was icy, flickering with a chilling intent to kill. He raised his eyes and looked around the surrounding mountains and forests. Placing a boulder here, anyone would know that there must be an ambush.
At that moment, two guards in front of Bai Yuancheng suddenly shouted, "Young Master, the road ahead is blocked by a large boulder!"
Yang cast a brief glance, then suddenly lifted a massive stone and moved it to the entrance of the bridge, blocking the way. This was the only passage, and once it was obstructed, there would be no way to pass.
Bai Yuancheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he saw Yang Yi's appearance, expressing mild surprise: "Oh? It's actually you? I didn't expect that Liu San would be such a fool, unable to see your true strength. Truly a pity!"
Chen Bo beside him gently reminded, "Young Master, be cautious. That person is holding the long-lost Moonfall Bow. Although it does not yet meet the standards of a magical artifact, it is already among the finest of mundane items. With it, killing beyond one's level is effortless. This young man can unleash the power of the Blood Condensation Triple Peak with the Moonfall Bow!"
Bai Yuancheng could finally see clearly that Yang Yi possessed the strength of a peak second level in Blood Condensation, contrary to Liu San's claim that he was merely at the first level of Blood Condensation
Finally arrived, they indeed have not yet arrived, there is still time
Yang Yiyixia emerged from the forest, standing high on a rock, looking down below. This was a valley, within which lay a large wooden bridge. At one end of the bridge, there was a magnificent waterfall, producing a tremendous sound of rushing water
Bai Yuanchen's lips curled into a hint of sarcasm as he said, "If you don't go, do you expect me to go personally? Rest assured, with Uncle Chen here, he is a guard personally assigned to me by my father, possessing the strength of the fourth level of Blood Condensation. In Qingyang Prefecture, he has few rivals. As soon as there is any sign of trouble, Uncle Chen will ensure that the thief has no way to return!"
In a rush, Yang Yi could only make such preparations. After successfully moving the boulder to the bridge entrance, he glanced ahead and then, like a nimble monkey, swiftly darted into the forest, disappearing without a trace
Bai Yuancheng's expression changed slightly as he looked ahead and indeed saw a massive boulder blocking the entire entrance of the bridge
Do you know? This young master has a particular hobby. Generally, for the women obtained through force, I will eliminate all their family members, relatives, and friends afterward. As the saying goes, if you do not remove the roots of the weeds, they will grow back with the spring breeze. You have come at the right time, saving me from future troubles
Liu San's head was directly pierced through. He had also cultivated to the second level of Blood Condensation, but the speed of this arrow was simply too fast to defend against. Moreover, the power of this arrow was astonishingly great. With Yang Yi's precise control, combined with the magical enhancement of the Moonfall Bow, this arrow reached the pinnacle of triple strength.
At the very moment of Liu San's death, the guard, referred to as Chen Bo by Bai Yuancheng, swiftly arrived at the place where Yang Yi was hiding, and he surprisingly spotted Yang Yi's hiding place at a glance
Liu San also flattered, saying: "Young Master San is unparalleled in wealth and nobility; Yang Shan, you will surely not go wrong by following Young Master San"
Yang jumped down in an instant, raising his hand to unleash two sharp arrows. These two arrows were also extremely fast, but this Chen Bo's speed was equally remarkable, almost ghostly in nature. He moved with an ethereal lightness, effortlessly evading the two long arrows.
Puff!
The timing is just right
Rest assured, my lord, I am naturally aware of it
Liu San clenched his teeth and immediately dismounted to approach the giant rock, remaining secretly vigilant; as soon as there was any movement, he would flee at once
Whoosh
"Young master, this..." Liu San said somewhat hesitantly
Suddenly, he saw Liu San stealthily approaching the giant rock. Yang's gaze was icy, and he felt no trace of tension; it was as if he had returned to his previous life when he was undercover in the neon country.
Yang Yi jumped to the ground, reached behind the boulder, and used it as cover to fend off Chen Bo's attacks
Swish swish
Bai Yuancheng looked at the weeping Yang Shan and laughed heartily, saying: "Rest assured, from now on you will be the third hundred sixty-fifth concubine of this young master, enjoying wealth and honor at your leisure"
Liu San glanced at a black-clad guard in front of him, who was on high alert. Judging by the imposing aura, it was indeed a fourth-level Blood Condensation expert. Such a master could easily dominate in Qingyang Prefecture.
