Chapter 66
By injecting innate water energy into his eyes, Wu Qi saw what was shooting in his direction in the dusk night .
They were dozens of triangular shaped 'Wind Breaking Darts', each having a diameter of a human finger, and about a foot long . They were all coated with a layer of non-reflective, pitch black material . These wind breaking darts of a peculiar design were finely made, and the craftsmanship was extraordinary . They came at an incredible speed as they were being shot out from strong bows . Yet, they made no sound while piercing through the air .
If not because he had stepped into the realm of Xiantian and possessed some basic divine senses, there was no way Wu Qi could detect the approaching small weapons .
"Ha!" Wu Qi exhaled a strong breath . By pushing his innate water energy through his skin, he covered his entire body with a layer of dense and tough energy barrier . After that, Wu Qi thrust both palms forward and greeted a few darts that were only a few feet away from him . Using the Hand of Web, he unleashed a few invisible air vortexes that immediately produced a bizarre whistling noise in the air .
Sounds of ripping and tearing broke through the scene . Two air vortexes unleashed by Wu Qi were pierced through by those wind breaking darts easily, and the energy barrier enshrouding one foot outside of his body was also broken by them without much effort . In addition to that, those darts could still increase their speed by 1/3 of their original speed suddenly while approaching against Wu Qi's energy, making them streak through the air like lightning bolts .
These things could pierce through innate energy!
An azure glow was seen swirling in both Wu Qi's eyes . In that split second, Wu Qi could clearly see a few tiny runes engraved on the surface of these darts - 'Wind Breaking Rune' . This rune was originally used on magical items such as flying sword and similar weapons, and was used specifically to allow the weapon to pierce through the natural wind force in the high altitude, using it to increase the flying speed of the sword . He didn't know that using it against the innate energy of warrior could also yield such an incredible result .
He also saw an indistinct black gleam on the tip of these darts . The sharpest tip of these wind breaking darts was actually made from a rare material - 'Nether-wind Iron' . It was an unusual metal, produced after some black irons of one thousand years old absorbed the underground nether energy for more than one hundred years, and had a specific function of breaking through a warrior's innate energy .
Wu Qi cried . He had no courage to stand up against these formidable weapons . Without hesitation, he held his head with both arms and shrunk his body, transforming into a meatball that only had a diameter of fewer than two feet . He rolled along the surface of the ground and dodged the assault . A rapid whistling noise was heard coming from his back as dozens of wind breaking darts brushed past Wu Qi's body and hit the ground, leaving behind a dozen of tiny and deep holes .
With a few somersaults, Wu Qi sprung beside the coach where Lu Chengfeng and the other two were in . He thrust his leg and forcefully kicked the coach, pushing it towards the exit of the alley .
With the explosive force of his enormous innate energy, the heavy coach was pushed away over one hundred feet . Immediately after that, a rain of over one hundred darts came pouring down in a messy order, and the ground was filled with a large patch of tiny holes . A loud boom was heard as the coach exploded, Lu Chengfeng, Luo Kedi and Ma Liang sprinting out from the broken coach .
As both Luo Kedi and Ma Liang were veterans in battle, right after dashing out from the coach, they immediately stood squeezed up against the wall . However, with an awe-inspiring appearance, Lu Chengfeng soared up nearly eighty feet above the ground and shouted out loud, "You treacherous scumbags, how dare you to assault us from the dark? Aren't you scared of the Imperial Law of Great Yan Dynasty?"
Upon looking at the 'awe-inspiring' Lu Chengfeng, Wu Qi immediately broke out in cold sweat with terror . He let out an odd shout and shrunk his body into a meatball again . Using a speed faster than Lu Chengfeng’s, he sprung up from where he stood, grabbed onto Lu Chengfeng's ankle and threw him on the ground with all his force .
Lu Chengfeng cried as he was being thrown to the ground by Wu Qi . On the other side, Wu Qi had no alternative but borrowed the counter force and soared up high another ten feet .
"Shoot!" All of a sudden, a faint shout was heard coming out from the darkness on top of the surrounding walls .
*Boom!* a muffled boom rang out, as if a little steel cannon just fired its bullet beside Wu Qi's ears . Three heavy bolts, thirteen feet long and as thick as a toddler's arm, were whistling through the air and shooting toward Wu Qi's chest . These heavy bolts were entirely forged using tungsten steel, which made them really heavy . Wu Qi was really curious what kind of an insane crossbow could shoot them out, and their speed was at least double that of the wind breaking darts .
"Move away!" Lu Chengfeng shrieked furiously . As he climbed up from the ground, he saw three heavy bolts shooting toward Wu Qi, which instantly struck him with a great fright .
As Wu Qi was hovering in midair now, there wasn't anything he could harness in order to dodge the assault . A shivering azure gleam suddenly flashed through his eyes, Wu Qi thrust both hands forward and starting to draw circles in front of him . The innate water energy began to rush and surge from within his body, forming a couple dozens of invisible whirlpools that spun at an incredible speed . The surrounding air started to spin, and produced a jarring whistling noise . The friction between the air had even created an indistinct, white sonic boom circle .
The three bolts had already reached a distance less than three feet away from him .
A loud pop was heard, and bizarrely, the three heavy bolts forged from tungsten were suddenly twisted into a dough shape . Coiled up and spun by the invisible whirlpool, the twisted bolts brushed past Wu Qi's body and flew far away to a distance of nearly half a mile . Wu Qi felt a tremendous force pushing towards his face, and as if both his hands were smashed by a huge hammer . His innate water energy trembled violently, causing all his vital energy in the body to disperse into a messy state .
A mouthful of blood burst out from his mouth . Borrowing the tremendous force of the heavy bolts, Wu Qi brought himself two hundred feet back .
Wu Qi let out a furious howl as the ferocious and tough spirit hiding in the marrow of his bones was triggered . He suddenly broke out in laughter . While laughing hysterically, he pulled out two fully loaded Nine Cloud Piercing Strongbows from the storage bag hanging on the side of his waist .
Two twangs of bowstrings came amidst his laughter as eighteen pure steel bolts were released, shooting toward the direction where the heavy bolts came from just now . The bolts dissolved into the darkness, and shrill cries suddenly broke out from one thousand feet away . The sound of bolts piercing through a human body and breaking the bones underneath was grating on the ears . Immediately after that was a muffled sound of slamming, which should be coming from someone falling off from the top of the wall .
Conveniently, he placed both the emptied strongbows back into the storage bag . When Wu Qi brought his hands back up, he was holding another two fully loaded strongbows .
