Chapter 202: Golden Body Perfected, Rats Come Knocking!

Under the cover of night, three silhouettes darted out from the inner city like ghosts, racing across the rooftops of the outer city.

The three were extremely fast.

As they shifted their forms, they leapt like monkeys or soared like sparrowhawks, yet made not a sound.

Soon, the three stopped on a roof and gazed into the distance at a large compound not far away.

"Second Young Master, according to the address given by the Ghost Mother Sect, that Qin lives here."

The white‑streaked Xiao Heng lowered his voice, his gaze at the courtyard full of hatred and killing intent.

"In a moment I will go down to provoke him; Second Young Master and the Seventh Elder will lie in ambush around, waiting for the chance to shoot him dead."

"Third Elder, be careful: although the master's true vigor left on him by Nie Jin Feng has been exhausted, this lad's ability is still formidable—remember not to get entangled with him."

Xiao Yinglin whispered a reminder, then took down from behind him a strangely shaped great bow, his voice icy:

"As long as he dares to show his head, he will surely die!"

This bow's odd shape, once the wrapping cloth was removed, instantly drew the eyes of Xiao Heng and Xiao Rui.

Its bow stave looks like two human spines joined together; the stark white broken ribs on the spine resemble the ferocious fangs of an evil ghost, making anyone who sees it feel a chill.

At each tip of the bow limbs is set a blood‑red bead, like an eyeball, emitting an evil glow.

"Ghost King Bow?"

Xiao Heng's eyes lit up: "I never expected the Dark Moon Dharma King to be willing to lend us this bow."

"We're meant to be the vanguard, clearing Qin Shuo this scourge for the Ghost Mother Sect—naturally we must pay a price."

Xiao Yinglin lightly stroked the bow's distinct joints, his voice icy:

"This bow contains the power of the Ghost King; it requires a martial artist's qi and blood as arrows, and with my strength I can fire at most three arrows……"

"Using qi and blood as arrows?" Xiao Rui frowned.

The Ghost Mother Sect is indeed exceedingly heretical, even able to produce such a bow and arrow.

Qi and blood—that is the foundation of a martial artist's cultivation, the source of all power.

Using qi and blood as arrows……

Just thinking about it made Xiao Rui feel a chill in his heart.

"Although only three arrows, that's enough to kill that Qin."

Xiao Yinglin brimmed with confidence: "Once struck by the Ghost King Arrow, the yin‑evil power within the arrow will corrode his spirit and body; even if he possesses divine abilities, he cannot escape death!"

"Then it's up to the Second Young Master!"

Xiao Heng and Xiao Rui exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.

The Second Young Master has even deployed such an evil bow; it seems tonight they and that Qin will inevitably decide life or death.

…

Whoosh!

On the bed, Qin Shuo slowly opened his eyes again.

After achieving the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, his flesh underwent a tremendous transformation.

The fusion of Yuan Magnetic Force and Vajra Power gave his flesh not only indestructibility but also extraordinary toughness.

When he tried to chop his own arm with the profound‑iron sword, the blade that cuts iron like mud seemed to strike rubber and bounce high, leaving no trace.

Moreover, his mastery over his own body had nearly reached its peak.

Every pore, every strand of hair, lay under his control,

even a single fine hair could emit Yuan Magnetic Force to enhance his perception of the outside world.

Hum!

With a thought, power surged; the forty‑catty profound‑iron sword instantly levitated and flew to his hand through the air.

His Yuan Magnetic Force had grown greatly, complementing the Vajra Power, and the weight of metal he could control doubled.

If this continues, perhaps one day he could truly become this world's Magneto King.

"Dragon Elephant Golden Body… perhaps renaming it Yuan Magnetic Golden Body would be more fitting!"

Qin Shuo felt the Yuan Magnetic Meridians around him, illusory yet real, and his emotions surged.

As of today, less than a tenth of the Yuan Magnetic Earth Pearl has been refined.

If fully refined, relying solely on Yuan Magnetic Force he could easily control tens of thousands of catties of metal.

Just as Qin Shuo was about to continue testing his Yuan Magnetic Force, a thunderous boom exploded from outside the room!

"Here they come!"

Hearing the wind howl and the arrow whistle through the air, Qin Shuo was not startled but delighted.

Whoever dares to launch a night raid on him at this juncture is either the Ghost Mother Sect or the Xiao family.

And both are on his death‑list.

These past few days he has stood on the roof every day, exposing himself; besides directing the search, he also harbored the thought of fishing for a bite.

He never expected that the rats hiding in the dark would finally be unable to restrain themselves.

Bang!

An arrow smashed through the window, blasting a large hole in the interior wall.

Following the direction from which the arrow flew, Qin Shuo saw a silhouette flash past.

Without hesitation, he snatched the Dragon Spine Splitting Heavens Bow from before him, leapt out the window, tapped his foot, and vaulted onto the roof.

The attacker seemed only to want to lure him out; after one arrow, he vanished without a trace.

Qin Shuo did not rush; instead he pushed his Heavenly Wolf Divine Sense and Yuan Magnetic perception to the limit, using them to survey the surroundings.

The opponent came to kill him, so he would surely not return empty‑handed.

Therefore, he was not at all anxious.

Moreover, with the full deployment of the Heavenly Wolf Divine Awareness, he quickly locked onto a position.

Found you!

Hum!

As the Dragon Spine Splitting Sky Bow was drawn, Qin Shuo's aura shifted dramatically, like a primeval beast poised to strike, his presence intimidating.

Dragon Spine Splitting Sky Bow?

In the shadows, Xiao Yinglin, who had concealed his aura with a secret technique, saw his pupils contract sharply: "He can actually draw this bow!"

As the eldest legitimate son of the Xiao family and future heir to the headship, he naturally recognized this bow.

However, this bow, if relying solely on physical strength, aside from the Xiao family's ancestor born with immense strength, only his elder brother Xiao Yingqi has managed to draw it.

Even his father, to activate this bow, could only infuse it with true qi.

But compared to the Xiao family's other cold-iron bows, this one is far inferior in terms of true qi infusion and circulation, which is why it was relegated to high storage.

Even his elder brother, who inherited the ancestor's physique, chose to abandon it, leaving it in the inner treasury.

Using my Xiao family's ancestral bow against us, truly infuriating!

Xiao Yinglin's eyes were icy, yet he did not act rashly.

He knew that in this ambush, he himself was the key; the Third Elder and Seventh Elder were merely bait.

To truly slay this band, he must rely on the Ghost King Bow in his hand.

This bow is the cherished treasure of the Dark Moon Dharma King; if not for the sect leader's personal order this time, the other party might not have lent it to him.

Bang!

The bow drawn to a full moon, arrows flew in succession.

Qin Shuo stood on the rooftop, his robes fluttering, his eyes gleaming with a wolf-like, soul‑capturing light.

In his sight were the tiles, the street, the blue stone, the walls, and even Xiao Heng hiding in the corner,

everything was laid bare in minute detail!

Ah!

A tragic cry echoed down the long street!

Although Xiao Heng had anticipated this in his heart, he still underestimated Qin Shuo's arrow speed and power.

With the Dragon Spine Splitting Sky Bow's empowerment, Qin Shuo's Four Symbols power was fully unleashed, augmented by the Thunderbolt Gang Qi, making the speed of this thunderbolt arrow downright terrifying.

Boom!

Xiao Heng's external protective gang qi burst open; the terrifying force transmitted from the arrow struck him, and at the moment of impact he felt as if hit by a divine crossbow the thickness of a child's arm, his eyes bulged, and he was flung a hundred meters away.

Such power...

Xiao Heng's heart was filled with shock.

He finally understood: this youth is clearly only at the Condensed Truth realm, yet he can trade blows with the family head Xiao Changgong.

That inhuman strength is downright more terrifying than an elephant.

Yet, his lingering terror had not subsided when a thunderous, sky‑rending sound like a clap of thunder rang out again, continuous!

Nine arrows in succession?

Xiao Heng's scalp went numb, his fear surged like a breaking dam, his eyes brimming with terror and despair.

Even the might of a single arrow is this terrifying!

These nine arrows in succession…
