The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 445 - 194: Heaven Shaking Bow and Purple Thunder Cannon (Please Subscribe)_3

The battleship, under the command of Dongming Princess, was ready.

Xu Qing indicated that his side had long been prepared.

Dongming Princess certainly wouldn’t be courteous, and at her command, the escort signaled with flags.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

From the distant battleship, cannonballs roared with thunderous noise, the barrels emitting terrifying flames and gun smoke.

Like meteors descending from the sky.

One after another, the cannonballs traced beautiful arcs, bearing down on East Island with terrifying pressure.

At that moment,

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nine bowstrings sounded in rapid succession, almost simultaneously with the cannon fire.

Dongming Princess exclaimed in surprise, "Nine Star Conjunction?"

This was the rarely-seen Divine Shooting Technique of the Nine Star Conjunction.

And there were not many Divine Bows in the world that could withstand the power of the Nine Star Conjunction Divine Shooting Technique.

Nine massive arrows emitted a blood-red glow, obviously imbued with terrifying Qi-Blood.

Whistling through the air as if Flying Swords, they tore through the void creating a dreadfully powerful airstream.

The nine cannonballs, before they could fall upon East Island, were struck by the nine giant arrows and exploded mid-air, like a dazzling and brilliant fireworks display.

Dongming Princess, watching the succession of explosions in the sky, was momentarily stunned.

Is this the prowess of a Martial Arts Grandmaster?

To resist a volley of Purple Thunder Cannon fire with one’s own strength?

Gu Daoist was also utterly astonished.

These massive arrows, if they hit a person...

He could hardly imagine, if this Martial Arts Grandmaster aimed at him from a mile or two away, the chills it would send down his spine.

...

...

"Brother Lin, are you alright?" Feng Wu asked with concern.

King Lin only felt numbness in his arms and a depletion of his Qi-Blood.

He finally understood why Xu Qing gave him the Heaven Shaking Bow; that lad was using him as a laborer. Using the Heaven Shaking Bow to perform the Divine Shooting Technique of the Nine Star Conjunction was not something meant for ordinary people.

Looking at his younger sister’s concerned face,

King Lin, still feigning indomitability, waved his hand and coolly stepped forward to scoff at Dongming Princess and others: "Purple Thunder Cannon, such a grand title."

He casually tossed the Heaven Shaking Bow to the ground, stood with his hands behind his back, and the commanding presence of a Grandmaster was unmistakably revealed.

Feng Wu followed behind, not looking at her junior brother, but rather stared at King Lin’s cuff; why was it trembling?

She also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness her brother was reliable, and thank goodness there were only nine cannonballs. What if there had been one more?

She felt somewhat fearful after the fact.

Xu Qing composed himself and lightly chuckled at Dongming Princess and Gu Daoist, "Princess, I rely on my elder brother’s strength and was lucky to win this round against you, please don’t take offense."

Dongming Princess was also someone who could gracefully accept victory and defeat. Seeing the unmatched martial valor of King Lin, she admired him and recognized that fortune favored Xu, slowly nodding: "Chuyun acknowledges the bet and concedes defeat."

Gu Daoist gazed at King Lin and sighed, "The title of Martial Arts Grandmaster is indeed well-deserved."

Fang Immortal Dao had always relied on the advantage of Firearms to dominate the Southern Ocean.

Seeing someone use flesh and blood to counter Firearms with a Divine Bow left quite an impact.

However, thinking that it was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, practically the pinnacle of mortal Martial Artists, it was acceptable. As for Martial Saints, they have already transcended the ordinary and should not be measured by the same standards.

Subsequently, the two parties, in accordance with their agreement, shared blood to seal the alliance, but the details of their cooperation needed further consideration and could not be resolved immediately.

Dongming Princess and Gu Daoist didn’t linger; the intricate details would naturally be left to the professional staff team to discuss. Otherwise, if she agreed on the spot and later found problems, it would be difficult to remedy.

But the overall direction had been settled.

After escorting Dongming Princess and Gu Daoist out, Xu Qing gave a solemn bow to King Lin, "Elder brother, many thanks for today."

King Lin had recovered somewhat, "If it weren’t for the Heaven Shaking Bow, I wouldn’t have been confident about intercepting the Purple Thunder Cannon today. And they could have continued firing. Alas, Martial Arts may decline in the face of firearms."

King Lin was a wise man and naturally saw how Firearms’ emergence was a bane to Martial Arts.

Xu Qing smiled, "If an elder brother can use a bow and arrow, why not Firearms? The emergence of Firearms will only make Martial Artists stronger."

Hearing this, King Lin was taken aback, then laughed, "Indeed, I was too narrow-minded."

Xu Qing’s words dispelled a layer of worries in his heart. However, with the advent of convenient and powerful Firearms, there will surely be fewer Martial Artists willing to endure the hardships of Martial Arts Cultivation, and it may become increasingly rare to see new Martial Arts Grandmasters, due to a lack of conducive environment.

Yet for him, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

With his Martial Arts Cultivation, wielding powerful Firearms, he could achieve fearsome effects.

Does Fang Immortal Dao possess extraordinarily powerful Firearms that would allow him to stand against a Martial Saint?

To this, King Lin was somewhat eagerly looking forward.

Xu Qing had no such concerns. Firstly, he had the experience of a past life, and secondly, he believed in using all things under heaven.

Dao Skill, Martial Arts, all are tools to be utilized; there’s no need to choose one over the other, and the same applies to Firearms. In this life, he pursues the truth of the Dao, not like choosing between sweet or savory tofu pudding...

With the affair concluded, Xu Qing and Feng Wu bid farewell to King Lin and left.

On their way, Feng Wu couldn’t help but laugh, "Did you bring out the Heaven Shaking Bow just so Brother Lin would do this favor for you?"

Xu Qing coughed, "I truly meant to give the Heaven Shaking Bow, solving the problem was incidental. Don’t always think of me as so worldly."

Feng Wu smiled faintly, "After all, the outcome is good. But if it were someone else, who would have been willing to part with the Heaven Shaking Bow? Alas, that’s only something you would do."

Her favorite thing about Xu Qing was that he didn’t obsess over wealth and status. In her view, Xu Qing took greater pleasure in distributing benefits than in acquiring them.

Like the Heaven Shaking Bow, if kept in a storehouse, no matter how powerful its use, if it’s never utilized, what’s the point?

North Kong possesses the Heaven Shaking Bow, yet it cannot use it to forge ties with a Martial Arts Grandmaster capable of wielding it, thus ultimately losing everything.

Xu Qing deeply understood this principle.

...

...

"Prince Yu, according to the scouts, Xu Qing and Dongming Princess have formed an alliance, but have not agreed to start preparations for producing offspring immediately."

"What!" Prince Yu couldn’t help but smash a precious teacup to the ground.

The situation had taken a dire turn.
