But the death of this man created a rare opportunity for the other Martial Arts Masters.

Three Master level Martial Arts practitioners came flying forward, and they had reached the bottom of the streetlamp.

They exchanged glances, then leaped up the streetlamp at the same time and started throwing fatal punches and kicks toward Gu Qingshan.

They were rather well-coordinated and worked well as a team, so they surrounded Gu Qingshan and it was impossible for him to get out of this.

Gu Qingshan held the longbow in one hand and used his other hand to press down gently.

“HA!”

Gu Qingshan let out a shout, and the Spirit Power in his dantian came rushing out like a flood.

A visible, blue glow surrounded him, then rose from his body and violently scattered itself in all directions.

This was the most basic way of exerting Spirit Power; it was known as Spirit Suppression.

In the other world, cultivators who had reached Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation Stage could use Spirit Suppression to press down on a whole city’s worth of people, and press them down so hard that they couldn’t move anymore.

But since Gu Qingshan was only a Qi Refiner Level 5 cultivator, his Spirit Suppression could only serve as an invisible push.

But Gu Qingshan was counting on the fact that these people had never seen a power like this before.

The three Masters had no idea what had just happened. They were suddenly pushed out by an invisible force, and they flailed as they flew off the streetlamp.

“Great target practice.”

Gu Qingshan narrowed his eyes, then pulled out an arrow. He filled it with Spirit Power and shot it out without even using any of his techniques.

The three Martial Arts Masters were filled with arrows in mid-air and had become cold, stiff, dead bodies by the time they hit the ground.

Gu Qingshan remained standing on the streetlamp and looked around while still holding his bow.

All thirty Masters had been killed off cleanly, and their dead bodies were strewn everywhere.

“You little b*stard! These were thirty Masters…”

The expression on Nie Yun’s face kept changing, and his legs were trembling so hard that he looked as though he would collapse soon.

He clenched his teeth, then ran to the door of his flying shuttle. He bowed politely and said, “Uncle Ma, it looks like I will need your help now.”

An old man with a hunched back placed his hands behind his back and alighted from the flying shuttle. He looked over at the street.

He looked very carefully at every dead body.

“The attack was really vicious. But things like arrows are exactly what I’m able to overcome.”

As the old man said these words, he bent his knees slightly, then suddenly propelled himself up, shooting himself toward Gu Qingshan like a missile.

Since he dared to fly through the air from such a far distance, this old man was probably at Grandmaster level, and he had quickly analyzed Gu Qingshan’s level and capability.

The old man suddenly clasped his fists together and pushed them forward.

Gu Qingshan’s expression changed, and he jumped back without hesitation to land on another streetlamp.

At the same time, the old man sent out two punches despite the fact that he was still mid-air and was more than ten meters away from Gu Qingshan.

“Arm Impact Cannon Strike!”

Paaa… BOOOM!

There was a gentle sound followed by a huge blast. The streetlamp was only left with its bottom half after that attack.

“This fellow can run pretty quickly,” muttered the old man as he gave chase.

Gu Qingshan didn’t say a word. He raised his bow and shot arrows out.

The old man casually waved his arms about and deflected the arrows easily.

Gu Qingshan frowned and was a bit vexed by this situation.

“His arms could send out an attack in mid-air, so a power of this level must be the power of Guicang.”

Since there was a chance to activate Magic Power when one reached Martial Arts Grandmaster stage, this old man must have activated Guicang Martial Arts, and his arms had attained the special power of Guicang.

The old man was right to say that he only needed to raise his two arms and use the power of Guicang to overcome the arrows that were shot his way.

Gu Qingshan kept running, while the old man kept giving chase. As they continued like this, all the streetlamps along the way became collateral damage.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Streetlamp after streetlamp fell, and the old man was catching up.

“Just die, you little punk! Your head is definitely mine!” The old man made a ferocious pounce toward Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan continued to remain silent and pulled the military bow to its maximum quietly.

He suddenly turned, and there was a continuous sound of the bowstring being released, each sound resounding like thunder.

Gray shadow after gray shadow started to fly through the air like dragons and serpents in a projectile that was impossible to predict as if they had come alive.

“How is this possible?!” The old man exclaimed in a low voice as his feet landed hard on the ground and he looked around him warily.

Five arrows reached him at the same time!

The old man’s body was as agile as a swimming fish. He kept twisting and turning and managed to dodge all the arrows that flew toward him.

The power of those arrows was much stronger than the ones earlier and was beyond what he had expected. On top of that, he had to dodge the arrows by twisting and turning at various angles, so the old man really had to use all his strength.

Martial Arts Grandmasters would have some Spirit Sense, so every time an arrow was about to hit him, he could react in time to either turn and avoid the arrow, or use both arms to deflect the arrow.

It was shocking, but not fatal, so he finally managed to dodge all the arrows.

“What archery technique is this?”

The old man was panting when he asked this question.

He started to regret it a little in his heart. If he had known that the arrows could be shot at curved angles, then he wouldn’t have tried to attack Gu Qingshan so anxiously.

It would have been safer if he had dragged out the fight and approached Gu Qingshan slowly.

But now the two of them had reached the plaza, and there was plenty of space all around, so it was an excellent place for Gu Qingshan to use that sort of strange archery technique.

The distance between the two of them was also just right for Gu Qingshan to make his attack.

Had this young punk had this all planned out already?

The old man suddenly felt fear in his heart.

“It’s an archery technique for killing other people,” replied Gu Qingshan as his hands paused for a while before suddenly using this technique in quick succession.

Volley!

After using Volley three times in a row, the myriad arrows became a furious flurry of shadows, wrapping themselves around the Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster already had a lot of trouble dodging just one round of Volley. So this time, he really couldn’t dodge the arrows anymore.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

The sound of the arrows stabbing into his flesh wasn’t loud, but on a silent and lonely night, the sound could be heard clearly, even from afar.

A cloud of blood burst from the Grandmaster’s body as he staggered and collapsed onto the ground.

His body looked like a porcupine from all the arrows stabbed into him. The Spirit Power from the arrows entered his body and had destroyed any chance of surviving.

The Grandmaster never closed his eyes even until the moment he died. There were deep regret and indignation in his eyes.

Nie Yun was completely bewildered.

The old man was a Grandmaster. He was a powerful person who was superior to all ordinary Masters and was someone who had activated the power of Guicang.

Even Elemental Arts Experts dared not offend a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

This was the Nie family’s strongest weapon, and the old man had been brought out because the Nies had wanted to gain the favor of the Bai family.

D*mn it! Why was this young fellow so terrifying??

Nie Yun felt a cold sweat cover his body.

But at a time like this, it was more important to save himself. Once the Bai family had made their move, Gu Qingshan was still going to die.

After all, the Bai family was one of the nine magistrates’ families, so they were much more powerful than the Nie family.

When he thought about it this way, Nie Yun raised his hands and shouted, “I’m a descendant of the Nie family and I’m going to surrender now. Gu Qingshan, you’d better…”

SWOOSH!

An arrow came flying and flew straight into Nie Yun’s chest.

Nie Yun clutched the arrow in his chest as he staggered backward, then finally stumbled and collapsed onto the ground.

Fresh blood kept flowing from his nose and mouth.

Nie Yun suddenly realized that he was going to die.

His comfortable life, his immense wealth, his bright future. All of this was going to leave him forever now.

No! It shouldn’t be like that! Nie Yun didn’t understand why he had to die.

He suddenly started shrieking like a vengeful spirit, “Gu Qingshan! Actually, you’re just like me, killing off anybody who gets in your way because you have the ability to! The more people you kill, the nearer to death you are! I’m going to curse you now! You shall suffer tremendous torture before you die, and there will be no place to bury you after you’re dead!”

“We are not the same,” Gu Qingshan shook his head and lowered his bow. “I repay good with good and evil with evil, so I have killed countless people as a result. But I have never used my advantage to bully others.”

After hearing this, Nie Yun opened his mouth and seemed like he still wanted to curse Gu Qingshan.

But no words came out of this mouth.

He was dead.
