Immortality: My Spell Upgrades Infinitely - Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Immortal Shooting Crossbow
Fengpo City was located on the Luofeng Hill in the south of Yuluan Province. It was more than 120 miles away from Fengxian Town. After Lu Chen left Fengxian Town and traveled for more than ten miles, he ran into the vast wilderness.
Bypassing Mount Qu Yu, crossing the River of Sin. Stars and moons covered the sky as he ran south.
The bay horse was panting from exhaustion. Fortunately, Lu Chen did not care about the horse’s strength and poured in Spiritual Qi from time to time. Not only was his speed extremely fast, but the bay horse was also barely able to hold on.
By the time the sky brightened, Lu Chen had already traveled 70 miles.
“Neighhh~” The bay horse neighed, and lines of blood suddenly appeared on its body. With a plop, it fell to the ground. Lu Chen used the momentum to leap more than ten meters away.
He floated down. Ignoring the dead bay horse, he formed a hand seal and quickly cast the Circular Light. The silver-white needle spun, and Lu Chen’s expression froze. “Found it!”
One side of the story, two sides of the story. Diancang Mountain was lush and verdant. It was a remnant of the Qingcang Mountain Range in the east. It was more than 100 meters tall and was located northeast of Fengpo City. As there were no spiritual veins or immortals here, only five families of hunters lived at the foot of the mountain.
The sky was slightly bright. The fog was thick.
The wall courtyard was pushed down, and more than ten families were already lying in pools of blood. Swords and sabers were on the men’s bodies, and the women’s clothes were torn. The hunting dogs were beheaded, and the cows and sheep were slaughtered.
A bonfire was burning in one of the courtyards. Countless torches flickered on Diancang Mountain. Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the mountain to search for him.
“Yo, yo~”
“Ah!” A small figure moved through the dense forest. It pounced out like lightning and bit off the neck of a black-armored soldier. The person was still screaming, but the small figure had already begun to escape.
“Here, here…”
“Surround it, don’t let it escape!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
When the arrow rain arrived, a few soldiers nearby immediately surrounded it. The small figure ran around and narrowly escaped death. Finally, it broke away from the pursuers and crawled into a cave at the top of the mountain in a sorry state.
The soldiers were getting closer and closer.
“Yo, yo~”
In the dark cave, the little figure staggered into the depths. There were two more cuts on its body, and a piece of flesh on its hind legs had been scraped off by the sharp arrows.
A man in black came up to him. After taking two steps, that person fell to the ground again. Her chest was pierced by an extremely long arrow and was half embedded in her body. Blood seeped into her black robe and formed a blood line under her feet. She pulled off the cloak on her head, revealing a stunning face.
It was Jiang Hong’e.
She forced herself to hold the little figure in her arms and pushed it out. With a desperate expression, she said, “Yingying, hurry up and leave. Don’t care about me anymore!”
“Yo, yo~” The little fox shook its head vigorously and circled around Jiang Hong’e, unwilling to leave.
“It’ll be too late if you don’t leave now. Go!” With that, Jiang Hong’e threw out a small green cloth bag and instructed, “Take this back and hand it to him. I, Jiang Hong’e, am innocent and don’t owe anyone anything. Go! Cough, cough~”
“Yo, yo~” The little fox shed tears and picked up the cloth bag reluctantly. It turned back three times with every step and left the cave, leaving Jiang Hong’e alone in the dark cave. Her expression… became more and more desperate.
Crackle.
At the foot of the mountain, in the courtyard.
The bonfire was burning, and cows and sheep were roasted. More than ten armored soldiers were sitting around, drinking the rice wine of the hunter’s family and eating beef and mutton, laughing brazenly.
“Let’s do it, let’s do it!”
“We’ll do our part later. We’ll be able to report once we catch him.”
“Hehehe, boss, that person is still hiding.
Perhaps it’s a female fairy. That’ll be fun~”
“Who cares who he is? After being hit by the Immortal-Shooting Crossbow, he won’t be able to escape even if he has wings!”
“Hahaha, f*ck!”
Lu Chen hid in the night with a cold expression and heard all the voices. In an instant, he was furious. He pinched his sword fingers and pointed with one hand. “Sword Control Technique, Quick!”
Whoosh!
With a sword cry, the peach wood sword instantly left its sheath and pierced through the necks of the four people. Then, he twisted his fingers and let the peach wood sword pierce back and forth. Before everyone could react, eight people were killed by Lu Chen one after another.
“Enemy attack!”
“F*ck your grandmother!”
“Trash, die!”
The remaining people grabbed their weapons and howled as they rushed towards Lu Chen. Lu Chen retreated and controlled the peach wood sword to attack again and again. In just a few breaths, only one of the fourteen soldiers survived.
Bang! The man wore a tasseled helmet and ran with large strides. He smashed the peach wood sword away with his axe. With a furious roar, he suddenly threw the huge axe. “Spinning Strike!”
“Buddhist Commandment Blade!” Lu Chen did not retreat. Instead, he advanced. The short blade at his waist was instantly unsheathed. He used all his strength to slash the axe away, and the short knife also shattered into pieces. When he saw the person’s large hand wrap around him and pounce on him like a wild bear, Lu Chen reached out to grab the peach wood sword that flew back. He lowered his waist and went into a horse stance, slashing horizontally.
“Die!”
“Pfft~” The blade cut it in half, life and death in two.
Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief. He stored the peach wood sword into his spiritual aperture and quickly ran towards the top of the mountain.
“Who?” Her voice was like a frightened deer.
Jiang Hong’e held a dagger in front of her neck, determined to die. Lu Chen slowly walked over, his figure appearing from the darkness.
“Hong’e, it’s me!”
“You… you…” Tears welled up in Jiang Hong’e’s eyes as she sobbed silently.
Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and supported her. He felt a chill in his heart when he saw the arrow pierced through Jiang Hong’e’s chest. The arrow was nearly two meters long, and there were vicious barbs on the arrowhead and tail. If he were to pull it out forcefully, it would make her chest become mangled.
If that was the case, she would probably not be able to survive.
The only fortunate thing was that the arrow had only pierced through her chest and did not hurt her heart. Jiang Hong’e had also successfully cultivated her Qi. Although she had not forged her body, her body, which had been tempered by spiritual qi, was far from what ordinary people could compare to.
She could still hold on for a while. “Immortal-Shooting Crossbow?”
“Yes, the arrow is mixed with the stone powder of the Falling Immortal Stone. As long as I’m hit, it’ll be difficult for me to accumulate spiritual qi. I’m like a mortal now. I have spiritual qi but I can’t use it at all.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”
face.
“Mm~” Tears welled up in Jiang Hong’e’s eyes as she looked up at Lu Chen’s determined Her calm heart felt as if a huge rock had been thrown into it.
At this moment, waves rose and fell, and the blue waves rippled!
Lu Chen formed a sword seal with his hand and summoned the peach wood sword with a trace of spiritual qi. Just as the sword cut into the tail of the arrow, the spiritual qi on it instantly dissipated. “Tricky indeed.” Just as Lu Chen was about to try again, a series of battle cries came from outside the cave. Seeing that Jiang Hong’e was getting nervous, Lu Chen comforted her. “I killed their leader. There are only some miscellaneous soldiers left. I’ll send them away first.”
“You… you should be careful too.”
“Mm.”
Lu Chen helped Jiang Hong’e sit down on a rock and walked out of the cave alone. His spiritual qi had just been exhausted, so he could only use his strength to kill the enemy. “Kill, kill, kill!”
Waves of soldiers rushed up the mountain. On this day, Lu Chen stood alone on the peak of the mountain and fought against a group of people with his bare hands. He killed until blood flowed and corpses were strewn all over the ground. There were more than 200 soldiers, but less than 20 escaped in the end! “Yo, yo~”
After the battle, a cry attracted Lu Chen’s attention. He turned his head and saw the little fox hiding in a crack not far away, secretly looking at him.
“Come here!” Lu Chen grinned and waved at the little fox.
“Yo, yo~”
The little fox blinked its big eyes and wagged its little tail. It picked up a green cloth bag and turned around to enter the cave where Jiang Hong’e was.
