Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

The deep silence of the night was shattered by this loud shout.

The speaker was none other than Shen Qing, who had rushed over.

He hurried to the front of the government office, gasping for breath as he shouted, "I have to report something! I have important information to tell the official!"

Two government officers were startled by the sudden noise and looked displeasedly at the newcomer.

The officer on the left frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, go, it's the middle of the night, don't cause trouble here, whatever it is can wait till tomorrow."

"..."

Shen Qing's expression froze, the familiar demeanor was a bit too brusque.

It was a matter of life and death, so Shen Qing did not leave but continued to explain urgently, "Honorable officers, this matter is truly very urgent! I saw it with my own eyes, someone is secretly colluding with the Huang Tian Sect, intending malicious deeds! It's extremely urgent, officials!"

The officer on the right glared at Shen Qing and said coldly, "You say it's the Huang Tian Sect just like that? How do we know if this is true or false? Besides, it's late at night and the officials need their rest. Come back first thing in the morning if you have something, don't disturb the officials' rest."

Seeing the attitude of the officers, Shen Qing knew that being courteous was ineffective, and he cursed angrily, "Such a serious matter, and you both don't care at all, aren't you afraid of a disaster?"

The two officers looked at each other, angered, "Hey, you violate the curfew, and we don't blame you, yet you are blaming us? It seems you are tired of living."

"We can't deal with the Huang Tian Sect, but can't we deal with you?"

The two officers brandished their spears, raising their voices, "If you don't leave now, we will treat you as a disturber of public order and throw you into jail!"

Seeing the officers like this, Shen Qing, furious at their indifference, decided to bypass them and rush into the Guardian Martial Department in the government office to inform the people there.

Just then, a yellow glow flashed outside the government office.

A yellow paper crane, under the watchful eyes of the three men, quietly landed on Shen Qing's shoulder.

With a puff,

the yellow paper crane turned into a blank yellow talisman, slowly drifting toward the ground.

"What is this thing?"

One of the government officials curiously bent over to pick it up.

Suddenly, Shen Qing's hair stood on end, and he almost instinctively moved to the side of the government office's main gate.

Just as he stabilized his stance, a figure suddenly hit the main gate of the government office.

Bang!

"Wow!"

The body of one of the government officials at the gate fell to the ground like the pancake in his embrace, from the gate.

He was bleeding from all orifices, continuously bubbling blood from his mouth, clearly beyond saving.

Seeing this scene, the other government official was terrified, his mouth open as he shouted, "Enem—"

However, before he could utter the word, a punch had already landed on his face.

Shen Qing saw it clearly.

The officer's face was smashed in like a dough, several teeth spattering out of the wound and hitting the gate with a thud.

Bright red blood spread in a linear radiating pattern on the gate of the county government office, red and white splashing everywhere.

The officer was indeed dead beyond doubt.

"Glad I made it in time."

Cai Jia Sheng secretly rejoiced, having caught up before Shen Qing could blow the whistle.

He looked at Shen Qing beside the gate of the government office and sneered.

All this was caused by this man today.

Now, as long as he killed him and snatched back the three precious items from the mountain, there wouldn't be much else to worry about.

Pressed for time, he couldn't overthink it.

After killing the two officials, Cai Jia Sheng did not hesitate, his figure shifted and he threw a punch towards Shen Qing.

A whistling sound arose, the punch fierce, bringing a gust of wind, straight towards Shen Qing's face.

What to do?

What to do?

Shen Qing's mind went blank at that moment.

Cai Jia Sheng's fist magnified infinitely in his eyes.

At that moment, the instinct to survive wildly stimulated the Qi-Blood within Shen Qing's body, his body subconsciously used the Nine Skills and various movement techniques he had learned these days, turning into a black shadow, narrowly grazing Cai Jia Sheng's fist at his chest.

Both hands joined together, strength from intent, he pointed twice consecutively on Cai Jia Sheng's abdomen.

Wind Defying Finger!

Bang!

Cai Jia Sheng was shaken by the force of the finger, jolting his body as if he had been heavily struck, and he staggered back several steps, his face filled with disbelief.

He had not expected Shen Qing to be able to dodge his punch and strike him.

Cai Jia Sheng remembered seeing him in Wanfeng Building, just a hunter from Hongshan Village.

He hadn't expected this obscure person to be able to withstand his strike.

Luckily, the technique relied solely on strength and lacked any real skill, otherwise it would have been more than just a sore abdomen.

Cai Jia Sheng's eyes glinted fiercely, as he rushed forward again with both fists.

Just at this critical moment, the great doors of the government office burst open, and two off-duty Guardian Martial Artists rushed out, "Who is causing the disturbance?"

Without asking further, one on each side, they struck at Cai Jia Sheng's shoulders.

Faced with their attack, Cai Jia Sheng had to withdraw his hands to parry, meeting their moves with his own.

Boom!

The two parties separated at the touch.

Cai Jia Sheng saw that the people from the Guardian Martial Department had already entered the scene, unable to subdue Shen Qing, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at him once before withdrawing.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qing hastily shouted toward the men from the Guardian Martial Department, "Sirs, he is the Yellow Angel of the Huang Tian Sect!"

"What?" The two martial masters from the Guardian Martial Department, upon hearing this, hurriedly pursued him.

These past days, they had been searching for clues about the Huang Tian Sect to no avail.

This time, an achievement had been delivered right to their doorstep.

The martial masters of the Guardian Martial Department moved extremely fast, with a push of their step they had already caught up to Cai Jia Sheng, and the two began to fight intensely.

Cai Jia Sheng's attacks were like a fierce storm, continuous and unrelenting, delivering punch after punch, not giving the two any chance to catch their breath.

The two martial masters from the Guardian Martial Department could only exert all their strength to hold Cai Jia Sheng back.

Cai Jia Sheng took a deep breath, gathering all the strength in his body, clenched his fists tightly, and swung them out violently, colliding harshly with the palms of the two martial masters from the Guardian Martial Department.

As they collided, a deafening thunderous noise erupted, making the air around them seem to solidify.

Shen Qing only felt a fierce gust of wind, as overwhelming as a landslide and tsunami.

While the two martial masters were struggling, a cold light descended from the sky.

It flowed over Cai Jia Sheng's body like a silver waterfall, then gathered at the feet of a figure.

The once imposing Cai Jia Sheng stopped his movements, his arms drooping powerlessly.

On his forehead, a bead of red blood appeared, stretching down to his chest.

With a soft sound.

Cai Jia Sheng's eyes widened as he fell forward powerlessly.

Blood continuously flowed out from beneath him, soon pooling into a puddle.

"You're all useless, unable to subdue even a martial artist without Qi cultivation," a figure in plain clothing suddenly appeared at the entrance of the government office. She sheathed her sword, speaking discontentedly to the two men.

The two looked at each other, then limped over, explaining, "We came out in such a hurry, we didn't have time to bring weapons."

"Excuses, if you're no match, then you're no match."

The female martial artist from the Guardian Martial Department flicked her ankle, swirled a sword flower, and carried the long sword into her embrace.

She turned and walked toward the entrance of the government office, looked at Shen Qing and asked, "I heard you say he was the Yellow Angel, what is this about?"

Shen Qing looked up.

He saw a striking woman in plain clothes standing before him, looking down on him from a high position.

Dressed in light blue plain clothes, her figure was graceful and curvy, especially with her poised and confident demeanor.

Shen Qing calmed his emotions and relayed everything he had seen in the Outer City today, omitting none of the details.

However, he changed the part about him coming to steal rare mountain delicacies to being pursued by Cai Jia Sheng.

"I had nowhere to go up in the heavens or down on the earth. Truly desperate, I fled all the way to the government office. The rest, sir, you already know…"

Shen Qing's words were half true, half false, and logically worthy of scrutiny.

Upon hearing this, the face of the female martial artist in plain clothes took on a rare seriousness.

Her brows furrowed tightly as she quickly ordered, "Hurry and gather some people, we need to make a trip to the Outer City right away.

"Yes."

The two martial masters who had rushed out from the Guardian Martial Department pushed the doors of the government office wide open, immediately causing a commotion inside.

Seeing that the people of the Guardian Martial Department were all busy and not paying attention to him, Shen Qing prepared to leave quietly, not intending to linger at the entrance of the government office.

Just as he turned to leave, the female martial artist suddenly asked Shen Qing, "Wait a moment."

Shen Qing paused in his steps and quickly bowed with a fist, asking, "Sir, may I help you with anything?"

The female martial artist looked him up and down and asked, "What is that bulging food in your chest? "

"It's pies, sir. We are all workers outside, provided meals by the Boss, I brought extra for my family." As he spoke, Shen Qing even reached into his bosom, revealing half a pie.

"Alright, you may go."

"Thank you, sir."

Seeing that the people from the Guardian Martial Department had no intention of having him lead the way, Shen Qing did not stay any longer and hurried away.

Once he reached a secluded spot, he pulled out all the pies from his bosom.

They were already half-eaten and stained with blood.

Shen Qing casually threw the pies into an alley full of beggars and gradually disappeared into the dark streets.

By the time he returned to the inn, it was already midnight.

When he left, he had exited through a window, and he returned the same way, not disturbing anyone.

In the room, he lit an oil lamp and took out the three rare mountain delicacies he had hidden in his bosom, lining them up.

Each one, under the lamp light, was crystal clear with a lustrous sheen, giving them an extraordinary appearance.

"These three rare mountain delicacies are serendipitous, not easily found in the market. Even hunters who linger in the mountains all year round may not encounter them. To obtain all three at once is truly lucky."

"If I remember correctly, these three delicacies can be used in medicine and are greatly beneficial to cultivation."

The flickering light cast shadows on Shen Qing's face, making them short and long, elusive and shifting.

Shen Qing exhaled lightly, carefully stored the three delicacies, and reviewed the evening's events in his mind. Except for some details in front of the female martial artist that didn't withstand scrutiny, the rest had few flaws.

As for these matters, he thought no further.

The incident happened suddenly, and he could not consider everything thoroughly.

Future matters would be dealt with in the future.

Shen Qing blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
