Chapter 127 The Tragedy of the Star Soul Beast
Yokoyama was extremely anxious, pacing around the city wall like an ant on a hot plate while waiting for the outcome of Xiao Chong's negotiations with the Star Soul Beast.
Beside him, a group of people craned their necks, looking on in bewilderment. Of course, they had no idea what Xiao Chong was doing.
It sounds incredible that a martial artist has practiced the Way of Mind Master, but it could very well be a way for that martial artist to save their life in a critical moment. Of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Although practicing martial arts and mind cultivation simultaneously was an absurd and ridiculous act, since it had already become a reality, Yokoyama felt obligated to keep it a secret for Xiao Chong. Otherwise, he would be betraying the trust Xiao Chong had placed in him.
He has never been a talkative person.
But things were going well, just like yesterday, with the man and the beast showing deep affection and getting along very well, looking very warm and harmonious.
Just as Yokoyama was filled with anticipation for the outcome, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse below the city walls. Xiao Chong was caught in a horde of beasts and seemed to have suffered considerable losses. This made his already anxious heart leap into his throat.
Seeing Xiao Chong in a flustered state, even managing to untie a broken bow in the nick of time, Hengshan was so anxious that he jumped up and down with his feet.
Are you out of your mind? That broken bow couldn't even kill the wolf-faced silver bear, why are you taking it out? Besides, you don't have a single arrow on you, are you going to kill the opponent by the vibration of the bowstring?
I've heard of car sex and bridge sex, but I've never heard of bow sex being so powerful! Yokoyama couldn't understand Xiao Chong's desperate attempt to find a cure by holding a bow empty-handed.
Xiao Chong had no idea what Hengshan thought of him, nor did he want to know. All he could see was the Heaven-Shaking Bow and the boundless aura of Yi shooting down the sun.
At this moment, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and the Heaven-Shaking Bow was slowly drawn back, pulled by Xiao Chong until it resembled a full moon in the sky.
Xiao Chong frowned deeply, his bushy eyebrows trembling violently, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
His vital energy surged and flowed throughout his body, rapidly transforming into streams of mental energy that gathered at the center of his forehead.
Using mental power as a guide and divine consciousness as a foundation, in the dim night, a thin, hair-like, and less than an inch-long black light suddenly appeared on the bowstring!
No one saw the dark light; even Yokoyama, with his profound cultivation and sharp eyesight, didn't notice the change on the bowstring.
He just instinctively felt that Xiao Chong seemed a little different from usual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different about him.
Posture? Aura? Or... just my eyes playing tricks on me? Unable to find the cause, Yokoyama naturally attributed the problem to something wrong with his eyes.
On and around the city walls, only the leading Star Soul Beast noticed the appearance of the dark light. Perhaps due to its heightened sensitivity to mental energy, it felt itself firmly locked onto by a terrifying force the moment the dark light formed.
It desperately wanted to turn around and run away, but another mysterious force from its mind kept assaulting it, urging it on, and controlling it to keep rushing forward.
Roar!
Finally, unable to resist the drive of the mysterious power, the Star Soul Beast let out a long, mournful cry filled with resentment, despair, and sorrow, and suddenly pounced on Xiao Chong.
Hearing the long hiss, Xiao Chong was slightly moved. But he had no time to think about it; all his attention was focused on the dark arrow formed from his divine sense.
Fortunately, things didn't go wrong at the crucial moment. With the arrow successfully transformed, Xiao Chong's spirits lifted, and he drew his bow, aiming at the leading Star Soul Beast.
However, it's a bit of a shame that no one appreciates such a domineering and handsome pose! With a slight regret, Xiao Chong released the bowstring.
hum...
The bowstring emitted a barely audible hum, disappearing into the air three steps away. The dark, ominous light, however, moved with lightning speed, vanishing into the Star Soul Beast's brow at a pace imperceptible to the naked eye.
Without warning, a transparent hole appeared between the Star Soul Beast's eyebrows, like a small hole being poked in a windowpane with a finger.
boom!
As a mixture of white and red brain matter and blood spurted out, the Star Soul Beast's body slowly collapsed and then rapidly decayed, like a flower whose life force was instantly drained.
"Well!"
Just like when he tested the arrow last time, Xiao Chong felt that all his mental energy and spiritual consciousness had been completely drained. He groaned and collapsed to the ground, letting the surrounding noise, shouts of surprise and anger, running sounds, and the sound of clothes being whipped up by the wind surround and engulf him.
He fainted!
Just before his consciousness left his body, when the arrow formed from his divine sense pierced through the Star Soul Beast's brow, he vaguely felt that the arrow not only pierced through the Star Soul Beast's head, but also seemed to have severed something unknown.
Unbeknownst to him, at the very moment he had this feeling, deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountains of the Southern Wilderness, two bald men, one fat and one thin, sitting on the ground with their eyes slightly closed and their lips constantly moving, shuddered, their brows furrowed, and they both coughed up a mouthful of blood.
After a long while, the two bald, burly men slowly opened their tightly closed eyes, got up weakly, and left.
"Senior brother, just now when I was using the secret technique, it felt as if a sharp blade had sliced through my heart, severing my connection with the wild beast. I wonder what caused this?"
"There's a master here! He actually knows the art of mental attacks and can even see through them. Amazing! It seems this mission won't be smooth sailing and will encounter some twists and turns."
"So what should we do? Should we stop the mission now, or take care of this person as well?"
"Junior brother, don't panic. Just be more careful in the future. Let's find a place to heal our injuries today, and we'll settle the score with them tomorrow after we've recovered. Next time, we'll mobilize all the wild beasts and wipe them out!"
"Senior brother is truly brilliant! I... ouch! I don't know which damned person caused me to be coughing up blood..."
The two burly men walked away into the distance, their incoherent conversation carried on the wind.
Like Xiao Chong, they were unaware that the expert they spoke of had just awakened from his coma.
"Oh..." Xiao Chong groaned in pain, shook his head violently, and felt an indescribable soreness all over his body.
He glanced at the crowd surrounding him and saw Yokoyama among them, then asked softly, "Where am I?"
"On the city wall." Seeing Xiao Chong wake up safely, Hengshan replied with a happy expression.
"Did you save me?" Xiao Chong glanced down at the city walls, then asked Hengshan, "Where are the wild beasts? They've all disappeared."
"Yes, thankfully we got down there in time." Hengshan nodded and said, "Once the leader Star Soul Beast died, the rest of the Star Soul Beasts scattered like birds and beasts, and even some of the wild beasts that came later ran away completely."
"Then I'm relieved." Xiao Chong looked at the beast corpses left outside the city and suddenly remembered something. He pointed to the corpse of the leader Star Soul Beast and said, "Brother Heng, could you please help me retrieve the beast core of that Star Soul Beast?"
After saying that, he collapsed again.
Huh? I knew I wasn't wrong about you! You're half-dead, and you're still thinking about a worthless beast core!
Yokoyama gave a bitter laugh to himself and leaped off the city wall.
