A Long Grind to Daoist Monarch-Chapter 191 - 154: Dragon and Snake

"——May I ask everyone, who dares to take it?"

The voice was loud, echoing in all directions.

A mere young practitioner at the Second Bone Training Barrier, surrounded at the center of Black Water River by a group of deadly assassins, yet totally unafraid.

This kind of courage truly commands respect, Lei Xiong admits he finds it difficult to achieve.

One must know, after reaching the Third Training Level, one's spirit becomes honed, and the aura is externalized.

Practitioners skilled in the art of observing can kill an ordinary person with just a glance, this is not an exaggeration.

He was just frozen to the marrow by waves of tangible coldness, frightened to make a rash move!

Bai Qilang, however, faced the encircling strong enemies with a calm composure!

"Could it be... a trick?"

Lei Xiong reacted quickly, deeply aware of Bai Qi's cautious nature of not releasing the hawk until he sees the rabbit.

Chasing Feng Shao Ling alone to Black Water River, upon closer thought, seems like an untenable action.

"Arrogant! I'll kill you myself!"

Close by on the sampan, a tall and strong man with eyes glowing cyan, resembling a wolf, sprang into action.

The bow of the boat sank, splashing waves, massive muscles taut like a drawn bow, the man darted out like an arrow off the string.

Swish!

The Ghost Head Saber gripped in his hand suddenly stirred a fierce gust of wind!

Heading straight for Bai Qi's neck!

This is the Beheading Blade Technique!

"Ideal for Xiaotou, he specifically likes to chop heads."

Bai Qi's heart was calm, with his battle power from achieving minor success in Bone Training Barrier and six blood exchanges, to single out a newly entered Third Training Level expert should be not difficult.

But it's impossible to expect these Hidden Pavilion assassins to adhere to martial ethics, taking turns for a challenge.

Nicknamed Cyan-eyed Beast, the moment Ruan Hong, wearing a fierce wolf mask, made his move, a shadow wielding dual guns also fiercely attacked from the side.

Their moves seemed coordinated, like ferocious eagles swooping from the air, carrying a sharp killing intent, pressing Bai Qi with nowhere to go.

Boom! Boom!

Two thunderous explosions reverberated, like stormy thunder reaching the ears, swiftly arriving from afar.

In the vast darkness, a star suddenly shone bright!

"Who?"

Ruan Hong was shocked, his gaze condensed, tearing through the wind; the Profound Gold Arrowhead streaks across thousands of yards in an instant!

Armor and Qi Breaker, nothing is indestructible, even the strongest must die!

Especially, the timing of this arrow was perfectly grasped.

Precisely when Ruan Hong leaped, an unguarded moment.

Clang!

The Qi Blood around him seemed to light kerosene, fiercely spreading all over him, the hundred-pound Ghost Head Saber in his hand immediately swirled out a mass of silver light, desperately blocking in front of his chest!

The deafening clash of metal, layers of visible ripples soared, the violent impact caused by the clash of forces stirred Black Water River into even greater turbulence!

"A Third Training Level archer!"

Ruan Hong's tiger mouth instantly tore, spraying a large splash of blood!

His muscles were paralyzed, stuck mid-air unable to leverage, the thick back of the sword pierced by a massive hole, directly penetrating his entire chest!

Red blood waves, splashing in the air!

"I claim two heads together with the Third Training Level archer!"

Before Ruan Hong fell into the river, Bai Qi, standing on the sampan, quickly raised his bow and shot an arrow.

With a swish, adding a finishing touch to ensure death.

Meanwhile, Li the Eighth who charged with dual guns also met his end from the archer lurking in the dark.

With shock filling his eyes, his corpse was swept away by the waves, crashing heavily onto protruding rocks, smashing his skull into a pulp.

"That Bai, he hired a Divine Archer for protection! No wonder he's fearless!"

"Divine hands overturn the heavens, arrows strike unreachable places! I bought information beforehand, Black River County has a lone archer named Wang Ding!"

"Such a sinister kid! Risking alone as bait, hooking us in!"

"Move together..."

Amidst the chaotic chatter, several shadows in black suddenly sprang up, three or four blue gleaming swords shot out like poisonous snakes.

"Their swords are coated with poison, truly sinister!"

Bai Qi's expression unchanged, as expected, thunderous roars of rolling thunder echoed again from a thousand steps away.

Bowstrings unchained!

Wang Ding at Third Training Level, wielding the eight hundred-pound Black Flood Dragon Bow, paired with the Armor and Qi Breaker Profound Gold Arrow.

Kills like mowing down grass!

In just four or five breaths, seven or eight lives were claimed, dyeing the river a faint red.

No one dared to approach in a short period.

"Divine Archers are indeed formidable, next time have Master Li forge me a good bow worthy of treasure, then counter-attacking the Third Training Level won't be impossible."

Bai Qi swept his gaze over many Hidden Pavilion assassins, they had been scared senseless, many hurriedly maneuvering sampans to turn and leave.

Some cowardly ones jumped into the river directly, swimming away to escape.

"All small fry, the real big prey has yet to appear."

Bai Qi focused intensely, with Arhat Hand technique aiding him, his senses sharpened, discerning malicious intent lurking around.

He slightly raised his lips, steering the sampan towards the large cypress ship, ready to dock.

Splash!

A man in black hidden underwater suddenly sprang out, like a fierce and swift predator fish, tossing two flying knives.

The gleaming cold light aimed for vital spots!

An unexpected close-range assassination, even a Divine Archer of Third Training Level couldn't provide timely aid.

This person used tactics of hiding in the dark, positioned in the tumultuous river water, quietly attaching to the bottom of the sampan.

Patiently waited until the first wave of Hidden Pavilion assassins was dispersed, seeming resolved at the critical moment, then launched a lethal strike!

"Too bad! Your martial arts aren't high enough!"

Bai Qi stood firm with horse stance, his spine connecting each section exploding with immense strength, after six blood exchanges, his arms wielded power up to ten thousand pounds, his punching and kicking techniques were incomparably formidable.

Facing the fatal flying knives, he didn't resort to any fancy moves, stomping heavily with both legs, almost sinking the sampan completely into the water.
