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

Shen Qing's fingers suddenly relaxed.

In an instant, the tearing sound of air erupted.

A streak of extremely cold light, swift like lightning, raced towards the Wolf Demon standing amidst the trees, following an almost imperceptible trajectory through the void.

For a mere distance of four hundred meters, it arrived in a blink of an eye.

The just-emerged Wolf Demon seemed to sense an immense danger. Its fur stood on end, and human-like emotions flickered through its eerily green eyes.

Without any hesitation, it promptly dodged to the side without a second thought.

The activation of the skill "every arrow hits the mark" in Bow Technique made everything feel as if it were predestined.

Just as the Wolf Demon darted to the side, the whistling arrow struck its body unerringly.

With a muffled thud,

the sharp arrow hit its wolf body precisely, its powerful inertia tearing through the flesh and piercing through its abdomen.

Accompanied by a piercing howl, the massive body of the Wolf Demon crashed to the ground, the demon energy swirling around it suddenly in disarray.

Like a scattered cloud blown by a gust of wind, it instantly lost the majesty of a Wolf Demon.

A flicker of shock crossed its eyes, unable to understand how it could be wounded by a mere human arrow.

In the past, the arrows of the Human Clan were like tickling, never causing any substantial harm, let alone dodging the arrow!

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

Three arrows descended from the sky, almost sealing off all its avenues of escape.

Before it even had a chance to stand and defend itself, the three arrows, as though guided by sight, successively buried into its skin and flesh.

Nearly nailing it firmly to the ground.

Blood trickled from the corner of the Wolf Demon's mouth, its eyes fixed on Shen Qing, standing in the distance with his bow. It realized that everything was completely different from what the Wolf King had told it.

Gradually, the Wolf Demon felt its body becoming heavier and heavier... Its raised fur slowly flattened down, and in just a few dozen breaths, it completely lost consciousness, breathing its last.

The village chief, Zhou Baoyin, and the servants standing at the mansion's entrance widened their eyes in disbelief at the scene, slowly focusing their gaze on Shen Qing.

Their hearts pounded nonstop, clearly not expecting Shen Qing to possess such astonishing methods.

Especially village chief Zhou Baoyin, whose face turned extremely unsightly, sweat beads forming, his heart pounding like a drum.

Just a few arrows to kill a demon, that was too fast!

Shen Qing, with a skeptical tone, lowered the bow and arrow in his hand and asked, "Is this the Wolf Demon that has been threatening your town for days?"

He felt that this so-called Wolf Demon was almost no different from the Dog Demon he had encountered before.

Too weak!

Couldn't a big town like Changqiao handle even such a weak demon?

Not to mention the ordinary townsfolk, farmers, woodcutters, given the Zhou Family's prestige, along with the treatment of the village chief from the court, he didn't believe Zhou Baoyin did not practice Martial Arts or lacked the ability to slay demons.

Even if his talent and cultivation were poor, as a member of such a large family with many heirs, as long the resources were there, some would inevitably stand out.

Such Little Demons should almost be easy to capture.

Shen Qing's glance subtly surveyed village chief Zhou Baoyin, noticing that the latter's Qi-Blood was abundant, clearly pointing to some level of training.

This made him even more puzzled and felt very inconsistent.

Shen Qing temporarily set aside the doubts in his heart and said, "This Wolf Demon has been slain. I will go and take a look at the Wolf Demon's body to see if there is anything else we missed."

No sooner had he spoken than Shen Qing's figure suddenly unfolded, turning into a streak of light, and in an instant, he had risen into the air, flying towards the woods hundreds of meters away.

Along the way, the treetops swayed.

All along the path, birds perched on the branches were startled by the sudden disturbance and took off in panic, their cries echoing loudly.

The technique Shen Qing was using at the moment was not any profound martial art but merely a movement technique from his hunting skills. Propelled by instinct, he flew forward, but with the nourishment and enhancement of the Qi Sea Realm's robust True Qi, this basic movement technique exhibited an astonishing speed and agility.

After just a short while, Shen Qing leapt down from a height, landing near the Wolf Demon's corpse, causing the surrounding leaves to tremble violently from the disturbance of his air current.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, staring at the Wolf Demon corpse before him, his gaze becoming deep and sharp.

Into the sturdy hide of the Wolf Demon's body, three arrows had deeply embedded themselves, the blood around them already congealing into dark traces, save for the massive wound in the abdomen which continued to ooze filthy blood.

On closer inspection, this Wolf Demon, besides being much larger than its kin, was no different from ordinary wolves.

Shen Qing unsheathed the dagger at his waist, cut open the Wolf Demon's belly, and examined its stomach.

Inside, apart from a barely identifiable rabbit carcass, there were no human tissue fragments to be found.

Shen Qing clearly remembered the village chief Zhou Baoyin saying that people from their town would occasionally disappear because of this Wolf Demon; it should have been eating humans.

It now seemed either the Wolf Demon plaguing the town was another one, or Zhou Baoyin was lying.

Slain was this Wolf Demon, but it did not necessarily mean the town's misfortunes had been resolved.

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled the arrows out from the ground, returned them to the Arrow Quiver, and then carried the Wolf Demon corpse back the way he came with one hand.

Bang!

Shen Qing threw the sizable corpse of the Wolf Demon in front of Village Chief Zhou Baoyin and the others, kicking up a layer of dust.

Village Chief Zhou Baoyin immediately reacted, raising his thumb and exclaiming in admiration, "Shen Chasi is truly a divine archer! Who would have thought that the Wolf Demon which has troubled us for so long would be slain so easily by your Excellency!"

"I will make sure to report this to the county office, so the Prefectural Governor and everyone else are aware of your grace."

"Since your Excellency has expended so much effort, I must also show my gratitude."

Having said that, he signaled with his eyes.

Understanding the cue, a servant immediately brought a tray of Silver Ingots before Shen Qing.

Village Chief Zhou Baoyin bowed with hands clasped and said, "The issue with the demons here is settled. This modest token is not worthy of your merit. I hope Shen Chasi will not refuse it."

Shen Qing stepped forward, picked up a Silver Ingot, and weighed it in his hand for a moment. It had a substantial heft, "Village Chief truly knows how to conduct affairs; please wrap it up for me."

"Right away." Zhou Baoyin turned back to his servants and scolded, "Shen Chasi has spoken, why are you still standing there? Go quickly!"

The servant hurriedly nodded and bowed, rushing to carry out the task.

"Now that this matter is concluded, Shen Chasi, do you think..."

"What's the hurry?" Shen Qing glanced at Zhou Baoyin and said, "Didn't you just prepare a banquet? It would be a waste to leave it, so I might as well go now, especially since my subordinates will be arriving soon."

Zhou Baoyin's face changed slightly, and he quickly plastered on a smile, saying, "My apologies for being presumptuous. Shen Chasi, this way, please."

Shen Qing strode over the threshold and entered the estate.

He hadn't walked far when he suddenly remembered something and commanded Zhou Baoyin's servant, "Oh, and remember to skin the Wolf Skin; it's quite valuable in the city, and I need to take it back."
