Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Jiang Yuan stared at the shower of arrows rushing toward him, his expression taut.

Turning gravitational pull into a repulsive force, he enveloped the green falcon under his feet within its range.

Every arrow that came within a radius of three feet from him lost all of its momentum and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, a smile instantly spread across Jiang Yuan’s face.

Just as he had predicted, the repulsive force served as a divine defense mechanism.

Any foreign substances found it as hard to penetrate this barrier as crossing a heavenly chasm.

After all, supernatural abilities often involved inconceivable transformations.

Witnessing this mind-boggling scene, especially as Jiang Yuan continued to grow larger within his sights, Qian Lang’s face turned grim. His prided archery skills were put to waste against Jiang Yuan.

A sense of defeat hit him hard.

The next moment, he turned and bolted in escape, leaving two stunned individuals behind.

By this time, the green falcon under Jiang Yuan’s feet was already hovering over the heads of the two men.

He promptly leapt off the bird’s back.

Looking at the fleeing Qian Lang in the distance, Jiang Yuan’s face fell cold.

“Trying to escape!”

The very next moment, he spread his palm wide open, and a powerful gravitational pull erupted from it.

In the distance, Qian Lang suddenly found his feet sinking into the floor. He turned and looked at Jiang Yuan.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

At that moment, feeling an incredibly strong pulling force emanating from behind, his heart was filled with sheer terror.

What kind of bizarre trick was this!

At this instant, a voice called out from a distance.

“Junior Brother Jiang, please spare his life!”

Hearing that familiar voice, Qian Lang’s face immediately lit up with joy.

“Brother Zhang, save me! Jiang Yuan is trying to kill his fellow sect member, please take him down!”

“Shut up!” Zhang Kai’s thunderous yell filled the air while his figure rapidly drew near from the direction Qian Lang was in.

He addressed Qian Lang, “Today, Xie Wanqing and I have set out to apprehend you. Do not think that your previous atrocities committed against fellow sect members can be concealed from everyone in the Sect.”

Then he turned to Jiang Yuan, “Junior Brother Jiang, please spare him so that we could take him back to the Sect and hand him to the Punishment Hall for trial, to announce to the entire Sect.”

As he spoke, Zhang Kai and Xie Wanqing were getting closer and closer.

Jiang Yuan looked at the two people swiftly approaching from a distance, a longbow appeared in his hand, his tone icy, “Spare him? Sure! But he must catch my arrow!”

“He shot ten arrows at me, so I’ll shoot one at him. Fair, isn’t it!”

As soon as his words fell.

Jiang Yuan’s arm muscles bulged, and the bowstring was slowly pulled back.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Kai urgently said, “Jiang Yuan, are you planning to kill your sect’s member in front of us?”

“Oh? So the Enforcement Hall does act this way huh? Or are you and him on the same side?” Jiang Yuan stated flatly.

Then he added, “With this arrow, you are welcome to catch it for him. If he can survive, he lives. If you fail to catch it, he dies!”

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, anger welled up in Zhang Kai’s heart.

It had been a long time since someone had disrespected him this way.

He said, “Fine, I do want to see what’s so special about your arrow.”

A flash of light glistened in his hand and a long spear instantly appeared.

While speaking, he was already by Qian Lang’s side.

Xie Wanqing had stopped far behind.

She had no intention of getting involved in this dispute.

Unlike men who cared about their face, she did not.

If Qian Lang dared to ambush Jiang Yuan, it meant he was out seeking death. As for whether Qian Lang lived or died, she didn’t find it particularly important.

Seeing him brought back alive and tried in front of the entire sect would of course be better!

If not, then so be it, it would just be a slight pity.

Jiang Yuan watched the two people approaching without batting an eye.

Initially, he planned to spare Qian Lang’s life first, interrogate him a bit, and then send him on his way.

But with the emergence of the two captains from the Enforcement Hall, the situation changed.

If he doesn’t kill him now, he would surely be taken back to the Punishment Hall, and his crimes would be judged by the Punishment Hall.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t accept such a result, moreover, it carried the risk of inciting trouble.

Killing a killer was fair, wasn’t it?

These fleeting thoughts passed through his mind. His bow was at its 80% draw weight.

Zhang Kai, on the other hand, was on his guard. He refused to believe that even with his eighth-level meridian breaking cultivation, he couldn’t catch an arrow from Jiang Yuan.

Standing by Qian Lang’s side, his long spear, which he had been holding for a long time, now overshadowed Qian Lang’s figure.

In other words, to kill Qian Lang, he first needed to break through the long spear in his hand.

Zhang Kai was fully confident he could catch Jiang Yuan’s arrow.

When Jiang Yuan drew his bowstring, and he felt the power exuding from him, he was able to determine Jiang Yuan’s level of cultivation.

Meridian-Breaking fifth level.

Not too surprising!

After all, in the last inner sect competition, he had already reached the Meridian-Breaking fourth level.

After winning, he obtained a superior second-grade Qi Absorbing Pill. Consuming it to break through another level was quite normal.

So, reaching the Meridian-Breaking fifth level was well within his expectations.

He was three minor realms higher than Jiang Yuan, he couldn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to catch just one of his arrows!

Just then, Jiang Yuan’s hand suddenly let go.

The perfected Heavenly Fire Arrow skill coupled with a magnetic field ability.

The moment he released the bowstring, the arrow instantly vanished.

Zhang Kai, who had dwelled into deep concentration, saw the moment Jiang Yuan released his fingers.

The long-propelled spear immediately struck out. With a swift push, it was like a sea dragon flying out of the water.

This was his fully charged, 100% power strike.

In order to prevent any accidents, he had already predicted the trajectory of Jiang Yuan’s arrow.

The next moment.

His face changed drastically, his pupils suddenly contracted.

How… How could this be…

These three words had just formed in his mind.

The spear in his hand shattered into pieces inch by inch, transforming into a pile of fragments, which were swept forward by the arrow, still heading towards Qian Lang.

In the gap between life and death, the current scene emerged slowly in Qian Lang’s pupils, as if in slow motion.

He saw Zhang Kai’s beloved spear shattering inch by inch, its tip turning into a pile of iron scraps, and the shining arrow still rushing towards his forehead.

He was horrified and tried his best to dodge to the side.

But he found that no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. The arrow was still slowly approaching him, and his body was completely immobile.

Boom

Only then did a roar of anger come from the wind and waves.

The spear in Zhang Kai’s hand was completely scrapped!

The force exerted before the spear shattered had been transmitted to him.

His right hand’s blood vessels shattered inch by inch, and the long sleeves of his robe exploded into thousands of threads.

His body was thrown backward under the impact of this force.

Wherever his body passed, large trees broke one after another.

At this moment, Qian Lang, under the divine power of the arrow, his head no longer existed, and only half of his body was left deeply embedded in a pit.

Xie Wanqing, standing in the distance, had her mouth slightly open, stunned like a wooden chicken.

It took a long time before she murmured, “Such a powerful arrow! Such a terrifying arrow!”

It was only then that she suddenly realized Zhang Kai was still there!

Her figure flickered a few times, and then she appeared next to Zhang Kai.

Looking at Zhang Kai groaning on the ground, she immediately scolded him, “It serves you right, you were so eager to show off even though you couldn’t.”

Zhang Kai gritted his teeth and endured the pain, saying, “Who knew this kid would be so terrifying!”

“Even Captain Shen could not have withstood that arrow!”

“I have no idea what he grew up eating – he’s so abnormal at his age! Plus, he’s only at the fifth level of the meridian breaking stage and he’s already so abnormal.”

“If he makes further progress, won’t he create a legend—a legend of defeating enemies across major realms!”

Xie Wanqing said lightly, “Talk less! First, eat this pill!”

Having said that, she threw the pill she had just taken out to Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai immediately swallowed it, and his complexion improved a lot.

On the other side.

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi seemed to be seeing Jiang Yuan for the first time, looking him up and down non-stop.

After a long time, Liu Jie exhaled lightly and said, “Brother Jiang, you must be an old monster who has regained his youth and started cultivating anew! How can you be so strong? Captain Zhang was severely injured just from the shockwave. Even his triple-forbidden spear was destroyed by your single arrow.”

Jiang Yuan said, “Stop sighing, look at him!”

He cast his gaze at Qin Ming, hinting at something.

Only then did Liu Jie notice the other two people next to him. When he saw Qin Ming,

He immediately became furious, “Qin Ming, it’s you! I trusted you so much, yet you invited others to ambush me!”

While speaking, he lifted his leg and kicked out vigorously.

Qin Ming didn’t dare to resist at all and let himself be kicked.

He hit a rock immediately, coughing up fresh blood.

Jiang Yuan said, “Speak up! What happened? If the two of you confess truthfully, I will hand you over to the Punishment Hall!”

“If you insist on being stubborn, I will have to deal with you myself!”

The person next to him immediately shouted, “I confess everything, this has nothing to do with me!”

“It’s all due to Captain Qian and Qin Ming colluding together!”

“Qin Ming was displeased because Liu Jie did not seek his help for entering the ancient cave, instead opting for you.”

“So he found Captain Qian. The two of them hit it off right away and brought me here to ambush you both!”

“This has absolutely nothing to do with me! I couldn’t make any decisions!”

“You all know how vengeful Qian Lang is. I didn’t even dare to dissuade him. Once I did, he would think that I wanted to betray him, and my life would be in danger!”

The man said with a sad look on his face.

At this moment, Zhang Kai and Xie Wanqing slowly walked over.

Hearing what he had to say, Zhang Kai immediately cursed, “This bastard, it’s like a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit!”

“Even when Senior Brother Xiao took the stage, he dared to do such things! It’s like he’s tired of living!”

“Now that he’s dead in such a swift manner, it seems we were too easy on him!”

Then he turned to Jiang Yuan with an apologetic look, “Brother Jiang, I apologize, I had no intention of opposing you!”

“I just wanted you to spare Qian Lang earlier because I didn’t want him to die so easily!”

“I originally wanted him to die in shame under the collective condemnation of the entire sect.”

Jiang Yuan said lightly, “So you’re saying I was wrong?”

“No, no, no!” Zhang Kai waved his hands repeatedly, “Brother Jiang, I admire your swiftness in paying back grudges!”

He added, “It’s good that he’s dead! Anyway, as long as these two are here, the sect’s repudiation of him can’t be avoided!”

Jiang Yuan said, “I’ll leave these two to you! As for what to do with them, I won’t interfere too much!”

“But when I come back, I don’t want to see these two still comfortably in the Supreme Mystery Sect, as if the sect rules do not apply to them.”

Zhang Kai repeatedly assured him, “Please rest assured, Brother Jiang, things are completely different now!”

“Senior Brother Xiao has officially taken over and has the full support of the Sect Leader. His sole aim is to cleanse the Enforcement Hall of any bad elements!”

“They will certainly enforce the sect rules strictly on these two! Especially those who are part of the Enforcement Hall, they are even more screwed for knowingly breaking the law. Their punishment will be thrice the usual!”

Jiang Yuan nodded, “I hope it’s done, not just said!”

Having said that, he turned around and said, “Senior Brother Liu, Senior Sister Liu, let’s go!”

He leapt into the air and landed on the hawk in the sky.

Seeing this, Liu Jie and Liu Rushi immediately followed.

A moment later, with several cries,

Three blue hawks soared into the sky, carrying the trio of Jiang Yuan and gradually disappearing into the sky.

Watching Jiang Yuan and the others leave, Zhang Kai finally took a deep breath.

Having just experienced Jiang Yuan’s arrow attack, he knew just how terrifying Jiang Yuan was.

Standing in front of Jiang Yuan, if he became angry and attacked, his life would not be his own.

Based on the strength Jiang Yuan just displayed, if he wanted to kill him, he did not believe he would be able to escape alive.

If that arrow had been aimed at him, he didn’t think he would have any chance of surviving.

Even his treasured spear, a triple-banned artifact, was reduced to scrap iron, let alone his flesh and blood.

Even though his cultivation realm had reached the eighth level of the meridian breaking stage, it didn’t give him much confidence.
