Chapter 121: Annihilating the Three Ancestors
The arrows, under the blessing of the Heavenly Bow Technique, each matched the full strike of a Dan Realm warrior.
In the eyes of others, such power was impressive, yet it meant nothing to the three Innate Martial Masters.
It could merely barely break through their defense, failing to inflict any substantial harm on them.
Shen Qing looked up at the three of them. Amidst the deafening roar, the three old ancestors were intimidated by the powerful energy imbued in the arrows, and, floating in the void with no external support, were forced back by this force.
Unnoticed, they became three isolated islands, able to signal each other but unable to combine their strength, each left to fend for themselves.
The corners of Shen Qing's mouth curled slightly, revealing a bit of a triumphant smile.
Facing these top experts of Yongzhou, he wasn't planning on giving them the slightest chance to catch their breath.
The Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique was activated, and colorful vortices appeared around Shen Qing, madly refining the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth.

He unfolded his body, employing the Da Xu Technique, as if enveloped by endless void, making his figure appear illusory.
With a step forward, he left behind dazzling afterimages, seeming as though he vanished into the void, becoming elusive.
Without any hesitation, Shen Qing aimed precisely, using the Da Xu Technique to dart in front of the Sun Family Ancestor.
"Mushy persimmons should be pinched first."
With divine sense, Shen Qing observed that his cultivation was the weakest among them all.
He should be the first to be eliminated.
The Sun Family Ancestor only saw a blur before his eyes, as Shen Qing suddenly appeared in front of him, sporting a half-amused, half-smiling expression.
Before he understood what was happening, a Yin Yang Fish Hand Seal landed on his chest.
"Poof..."
A dull, muffled sound emerged.
A scorching aura erupted abruptly from the Sun Family Ancestor's chest.
It was the unique destructive force of the Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal, resembling a blazing sun falling to the earth, everything turned silent.
The Sun Family Ancestor's eyes widened, trying in an instant to resist the terrifying power of the Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal.
However, against this immense and matchless force, he was like a candle in the wind, instantly devoured, his life force completely extinguished in several breaths.
Even more disturbingly, throughout the entire process, the Sun Family Ancestor couldn't even let out the most basic struggle or wail.
Silently, his existence was erased by Shen Qing with a mere thought.
Shen Qing stood calmly, landing steadily on the ground, showing an aura of composure throughout his body.
Having consecutively slain the ancestors of the Sun Family and the Xiao Family, he felt not the slightest fatigue, and had a clearer understanding of his current power.
His gaze lifted lightly, a glint flashed as he looked towards the Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Guangyu and the Dong Family Ancestor Dong Changhui, and fear was no longer in his eyes.
"It seems you all have grown quite old. Even though you surpass me by a Great Realm, you still aren't my opponents, truly incompetent."
Shen Qing spoke lightly.
The words fell into the ears of Zhou Guangyu and Dong Changhui, making their faces turn blue and white, extremely unsightly.
At this moment, they also began to suspect whether their strength had regressed too much, unable to handle even a Dan Realm Martial Master.
Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Guangyu reacted first, denying, "It's not that we're weak, but rather this Chief Officer of the Guardian Martial Department is too strong, disturbing our Dao hearts."
"Damn it!"
The Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Guangyu and the Dong Family Ancestor Dong Changhui exchanged glances and chose to attack simultaneously.
"Such a move with great power must be his trump card, consuming a vast amount of spiritual power. With his current cultivation, he certainly can't use it consecutively. We can boldly make a move!" Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Guangyu reasoned.
While speaking, he fell back half a body behind Dong Changhui.
Dong Changhui didn't notice Zhou Guangyu's cunning, charging at the forefront, approaching with an irresistible momentum, revealing soaring murderous intent.
Hearing Zhou Guangyu's words, Shen Qing suddenly felt like laughing for some reason. He snorted coldly and pushed the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique to its utmost limit, his entire body's muscles tightened, swelling like iron blocks.
Numerous acupoints in his flesh lit up, resembling stars.
His physical body transformed into a vast sea, and whales surfaced in the acupoints around him, continuously swallowing all the spiritual energy contained within the world.
In his Qi Sea, the youthful "Dan Ying" showed an intoxicated expression, even spreading open its arms, gathering all the spiritual energy together, quickly refining it, supplementing the deficient spiritual power.
Seeing Dong Changhui draw ever closer, Shen Qing held back nothing.
With the "Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill" stacking, his spiritual power reversed rapidly.
In the span of one breath, it completed nine revolutions, causing a surge in his aura.
With a thought, Shen Qing pinched out the Eight Desolate Annihilation Seal with both hands.
An immeasurable crimson gold brilliance erupted suddenly from within him, dazzling to the extreme, like the rising sun on the horizon, akin to a pouring galaxy, instantly illuminating the entire realm.
These gleams were not mere light but manifested attacks infused with myriad profound spiritual powers. They transformed into a rushing crimson gold river, spanning yin and yang, carrying heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating might, sweeping menacingly towards Dong Changhui.
Within that river were dragon roars and tiger cries, stars falling—each gleam contained terror capable of piercing metal stone and tearing through voids.
Dong Family Ancestor Dong Changhui stood at the forefront. Facing this sudden assault, there was no avoiding it. A trace of incredulity and despair finally flashed in Dong Changhui's eyes.
This person was clearly a monster, showing no signs of exhaustion.
Cursed Zhou Family old man, you've deceived me!
Dong Changhui regretted it and wanted to pull back, but it was too late; he bit the bullet and resisted.
Regrettably, all struggle and resistance appeared so pale and weak at this moment. That merciless crimson gold river pierced through his defense and engulfed him entirely.
With an ear-piercing explosion, as all light vanished and dust settled, Dong Changhui's figure was no more—only emptiness and deathly silence remained.
No miracle happened with this strike. Dong Changhui, like the others, perished on the spot, leaving not even a chance for struggle.
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhou Family Ancestor Zhou Guangyu abruptly halted his assault.
Shen Qing's successive killing of Innate Martial Masters completely extinguished his fantasies, conjuring fear in his heart.
Zhou Guangyu looked at Shen Qing, meeting Shen Qing's wild gaze.
He couldn't help but shiver, without hesitation, he turned and walked away.
"Now you decide to leave? Too late!"
Shen Qing lightly spun his hands, and that ancient, weighty Heavy Bow, as if pulled by invisible strings, landed precisely in his grip.
His eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's, exuding unyielding determination and frigidity.
Shen Qing's spiritual power surged within, the surrounding air seemingly igniting, with concentric rings of visible spiritual ripples spreading outward from him.
Arrows rose suspended from the Arrow Quiver, aligned in formation, gleaming coldly under the sunlight, poised for action.
With a calm expression, Shen Qing extended his ape-like arm, drawing the bowstring to a full moon.
The Heavenly Bow Technique was activated.
The heavy bowstring vibrated, emitting a deep and lasting hum.
Shen Qing locked his arrows on the Zhou Family Ancestor, his fingers released abruptly.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot forth, slicing through the sky, its speed astonishing.
The arrow, like a dragon emerging from the sea, dashed towards the Zhou Family Ancestor.
Clouds dissipated along its path, leaving streaks of white.
Though the Zhou Family Ancestor was an Innate Martial Master, he was flustered now, unsure how to respond to this sudden assault.
"Bang!"
With a loud crash, the Zhou Family Ancestor's defenses shattered like glass, light scattering, and the arrow precisely pierced through, striking the vital point.
Innate Martial Masters had formidable flesh; after penetrating the defense, the arrow lost its momentum and was slapped away by the Zhou Family Ancestor.
Just when Zhou Guangyu thought it was over, another volley of arrows followed.
His face froze.
Boom boom boom...
Deafening roars resounded endlessly as Zhou Guangyu dealt with them, exhausting his entire cultivation to fend off each and every arrow.
"Haha, you're out of arrows!" Zhou Guangyu shouted, disheveled and in tatters.
Suddenly, a golden hand materialized from the void, snatching his clothing and dragging him back before Shen Qing.
Da Xu Hand!
Bang.
