Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies
Chapter 78 - 2 Kill the Yellow Angel

The deep night's silence was shattered by this loud shout.

The speaker was none other than Shen Qing, who rushed here.

He hurriedly dashed to the front of the government office, breathlessly shouting, "I want to report! I have something important to tell the officer!"

Two government officers were disturbed by the sudden noise, and they looked at the newcomer with displeasure.

The officer on the left frowned impatiently, waving his hand, "Go away, don't cause trouble here in the middle of the night. Whatever it is, speak tomorrow."

"..."

Shen Qing was momentarily taken aback, the familiar demeanor hitting him like a slap.

This was a matter of life and death, and Shen Qing didn't leave, but continued to anxiously explain, "Gentlemen, this matter is really urgent! I saw with my own eyes someone colluding with the Huang Tian Sect in secret with malicious intent! It's extremely urgent, my lord!"

The officer on the right glared at Shen Qing, speaking coldly, "Just because you say it's the Huang Tian Sect doesn't make it so. How do we know if it's true or not? Besides, it's late, and the officials need to rest. Whatever it is, come back first thing in the morning; don't disturb their rest."

Seeing this attitude from the officers, Shen Qing knew that being polite wouldn't work, so he angrily cursed, "Such a major issue, and you both are so unconcerned? Aren't you afraid of a calamity?"

The two officers exchanged a glance, responding angrily, "Hey, you brat! You're out past curfew, and we're not blaming you, yet you're blaming us? Looks like you're tired of living."

"We can't handle the Huang Tian Sect, but we can handle you!"

The two officers brandished their spears, raising their voices, "If you don't leave, we'll treat you as disturbing the peace and throw you into jail!"

Seeing this, Shen Qing was angered by their inaction. He planned to slip past them into the Guardian Martial Department and inform their people.

Just then, a streak of yellow light flashed outside the office.

A yellow paper crane quietly landed on Shen Qing's shoulder as the three watched intently.

With a soft puff.

The yellow paper crane turned into a blank yellow talisman, slowly drifting to the ground.

"What is this?"

One of the government officers curiously bent down to pick it up.

Suddenly, Shen Qing felt a chill down his spine, instinctively dodging to one side of the office door.

Just as he steadied himself, a figure crashed into the office door.

Bang!

"Wow!"

One of the officers at the door crumpled to the ground like a pancake, lifelessly slumping to the floor.

Blood streamed from his seven orifices, frothing at the mouth; he was clearly beyond saving.

The other officer was terrified, shouting, "Enemy..."

The word was stuck in his throat, as a fist had already slammed into his face.

Shen Qing watched clearly from the side.

The officer's face caved in like dough, teeth spattering from the wound, hitting the door with a bang.

Bright red blood sprayed onto the county government door, radiating in a linear pattern, red and white splattering everywhere.

That officer was dead beyond any doubt.

"Glad I made it."

Cai Jia Sheng sighed in relief, having arrived before Shen Qing could reveal his secret.

He looked at Shen Qing by the office door, grimacing with a sinister smile.

It was all because of this person today.

Now, he just needed to kill him and snatch back the three mountain treasures, and there wouldn't be so many troubles left.

The situation was urgent, leaving him no time to think.

After killing the two officers, Cai Jia Sheng had no hesitations, turning and swinging a punch toward Shen Qing.

The sound of wind being broken filled the air as the fierce fist wind rushed towards Shen Qing's face.

What to do?

What to do?

At that moment, Shen Qing's mind went blank.

Cai Jia Sheng's fist enlarged infinitely in his eyes.

At this moment, survival instincts drove Shen Qing's Qi-Blood, using the Nine Skills and various movement techniques learned recently, transforming into a shadow that narrowly grazed Cai Jia Sheng's fist at his chest.

With his hands formed like two fingers, driven by intention, he struck twice at Cai Jia Sheng's abdomen.

Wind Defying Finger!

Bang!

Cai Jia Sheng was jolted by the force of this strike, stumbling back a few steps, looking incredulous.

He clearly hadn't expected Shen Qing to dodge his punch and even land a hit.

Staring at Shen Qing's face, memories surfaced of seeing him at Wanfeng Building, realizing he was a hunter from Hongshan Village.

He hadn't expected this nobody to withstand his attack.

Fortunately, the move relied solely on physical strength without any special force; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as an aching abdomen.

Cai Jia Sheng's eyes gleamed with a hint of ruthlessness, as he rushed forward with both fists once more.

Just at this critical juncture, the government office door suddenly swung open, and two Guardian Martial Department martial masters rushed out, "Who's causing a commotion?"

Without a word, the two struck at Cai Jia Sheng's shoulders from the left and right.

Faced with the dual assault, Cai Jia Sheng had to shift his focus, countering with a punch and a move.

Boom!

Both sides instantly separated upon contact.

Seeing the Guardian Martial Department had intervened, Cai Jia Sheng knew he couldn't take down Shen Qing, glaring at him with hatred before making his escape.

Seeing this, Shen Qing hastily called out to the Guardian Martial Department, "My lord, he's a Yellow Angel of the Huang Tian Sect!"

"What?" The two martial masters, who had just rushed out, quickly pursued him.

They had been searching for clues about the Huang Tian Sect for days without success.

Now, an opportunity had presented itself, and it was a ready-made merit.

The martial masters acted swiftly, extending their stride to catch up with Cai Jia Sheng, engaging in combat.

Cai Jia Sheng's attack was relentless, like a raging storm, not giving them any chance to catch their breath.

The two martial masters could only give their all to hold Cai Jia Sheng.

Taking a deep breath, Cai Jia Sheng gathered all his strength, unleashing his tightly clenched fists, colliding fiercely with the two martial master's palms.

Upon impact, a deafening sound erupted, resonating through the air as if solidifying it.

Shen Qing only felt a gale, as fierce as a landslide and tsunami.

Just as the two martial masters were struggling, a chilling light descended from the sky.

Like a silver waterfall, it flowed over Cai Jia Sheng, then gathered at a person's feet.

Cai Jia Sheng, who had previously appeared menacing, halted his actions, his hands drooping powerless.

Red blood beads trickled from his forehead, trailing down to his chest.

With a muffled pouf.

Cai Jia Sheng glared, falling forward helplessly.

Blood continued to pool beneath him, eventually forming a small pool.

"You fools, you couldn't even take down a martial artist without Qi cultivation."

A woman, dressed in plain clothes, suddenly appeared at the office entrance. She sheathed her sword and reprimanded the two.

The pair exchanged looks, limping over and explaining, "We came in a rush and didn't have time to bring our weapons."

"Excuses, if you're outmatched, you're outmatched."

The Guardian Martial Department woman kicked her ankle, twirling her sword into her arms.

She turned, walking towards the office entrance, glancing at Shen Qing, asking, "I heard you say he's a Yellow Angel; what's going on?"

Shen Qing looked up.

He saw a bright woman in plain clothes standing in front of him, looking down at him.

Her light blue outfit hugged her graceful figure beautifully, especially the two grand principles she carried, exuding composure and confidence.

Calming himself, Shen Qing recounted everything he witnessed in the Outer City today.

However, he changed his role in the attempted theft of the mountain treasures to being chased by Cai Jia Sheng.

"I had no escape on earth or in heaven, so I fled here out of desperation, and my lord knows the rest...."

Shen Qing mixed truth and falsehood in his story, maintaining logical consistency.

Upon hearing this, a rare hint of gravity appeared on the Guardian Martial Department woman's graceful face.

She furrowed her brow, quickly issuing an order, "Hurry and gather the men, head to the Outer City at once."

"Yes."

Rushing out, the two Guardian Martial Department martial masters fully opened the office doors, causing chaos within.

Seeing they were all busy inside, and no one paying him any mind, Shen Qing prepared to slip away, not intending to linger at the office entrance.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, the female martial master suddenly called out, "Wait a moment."

Shen Qing paused, quickly bowing and asking, "My lord, is there something you need?"

The female martial master sized him up, then asked, "What's that bulging in your chest?"

"It's just some pancakes, my lord. We work outside, and the boss provides food, so I bring some extra for my family." Saying so, Shen Qing pulled out a half-eaten pancake from his chest.

"Alright, you may go."

"Thank you, my lord."

Seeing that the Guardian Martial Department did not intend for him to guide them, Shen Qing wasted no time leaving quickly.

Reaching a deserted place, he pulled all the pancakes from his chest.

They were half-eaten, smeared with quite a bit of blood.

Shen Qing casually tossed the pancakes into a beggar-filled alley, gradually disappearing into the dark street.

When he returned to the inn, it was already past midnight.

He left by climbing out the window, so he returned the same way, alerting no one.

In his room, he lit an oil lamp, retrieving the three mountain treasures he had hidden in his chest, laying them out.

Under the lamp's oil light, each one shone brilliantly, with a glassy sheen, appearing extraordinary.

"These three mountain treasures are quite rare, worth a fortune in the market, even for hunters who spend years in the mountains. It's fate to obtain all three at once."

"If I remember correctly, these treasures can be used in medicine, greatly benefiting cultivation."

The wavering light projected shadows of Shen Qing's face in the room, fluctuating in length and form.

Shen Qing exhaled gently, carefully storing the mountain treasures, reflecting on the night's events. Other than some inconsistencies faced with the female martial master, everything else was without significant flaws.

As for further considerations, he wouldn't dwell on them.

The incident sprung upon him too suddenly, leaving no time for detailed planning.

Future matters would be addressed in the future.

Shen Qing extinguished the oil lamp, lying down on the bed and falling into a deep sleep.
