Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

Chapter 134: Chapter 58: Total Annihilation is the Best Respect for Him

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the inner courtyard was in an uproar.

Especially the people of Linfeng Hall, who didn't expect that Sun Tiangai, the previously invincible Boss of Mi Gang, had suddenly conceded.

At this moment, Sun Tiangai tried hard to maintain composure on his face.

Initially, he thought along the same lines as Jing Yuanzhong, assuming that Shen Qing had only pulled off a few tricks by capitalizing on Meng De's weakened state, showing off a moment of bravery.

He even planned to go down to the arena himself and kill him.

Now it seemed that he had been hugely mistaken.

The closed-door disciple of Linfeng Hall, where was the advantage? It was clear he hadn't even used his full strength, yet still had plenty to spare!

Thinking of this, Sun Tiangai couldn't help but feel a chill.

If he hadn't recognized the situation just now and impulsively stepped into the arena, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

His cultivation was only slightly higher than Meng De's, with the bulk of it being actual combat skills.

Facing someone like Shen Qing, he wasn't sure he could gain any advantage.

One misstep, and he might end up like Li Linfeng's situation previously.

Now, having aligned himself with the powerful county magistrate, he was on his career peak. If he were to be defeated publicly, his subordinates would surely turn disloyal.

The favorable situation that the Mi Gang had painstakingly built might well collapse.

This was something he absolutely could not accept.

A true man knows when to bow and when to stand tall.

Rather than clashing head-on, it was better to temporarily bow down and wait for a later opportunity for revenge.

Shen Qing frowned and said, "Oh, has the Sun Gang Leader come to a realization?"

"I have realized that disputes should be resolved, not prolonged. Since Brother Shen has shown such goodwill, how could I fail to appreciate it?" As he spoke, Sun Tiangai waved a big hand to his followers below, "

"But I didn't agree to yours!" Shen Qing said calmly and unflinchingly.

"Heh... heh..."

Dark red, steaming blood spilled from Sun Tiangai's throat, choking him and preventing him from uttering another word.

His movements grew fainter and fainter.

Shen Qing ignored Sun Tiangai's struggles and despair, standing quietly in place, his gaze deep and impassive.

After a moment, Sun Tiangai's gaze lost focus, his limbs slackened, and he died hanging on the wall.

"Ah!"

The members of Mi Gang screamed in terror and began frantically rushing towards the exit, fearing that any delay might result in the same fate as Sun Tiangai's.

Shen Qing didn't stop, arrows flying in rapid succession.

With each arrow shot, several lives were claimed.

In the blink of an eye, there were no more standing members of Mi Gang in the inner courtyard.

Only a few insignificant shrimps managed to escape.

Looking over the bodies littering the ground, Shen Qing put away his heavy bow and respectfully said to Li Linfeng, who was completely shocked at his side, "With this, the Mi Gang should no longer trouble Master."

Only now did Li Linfeng realize that his disciple was not only a natural martial talent but also a born killer.

However, given what had transpired, Li Linfeng did not feel that Shen Qing had done anything wrong.

He was the one who had aged, his edges worn down after starting a family, always cautious in his actions.

If he remembered correctly, he had been just as fierce at Shen Qing's age.

Li Linfeng nodded his head in deep approval, "Nothing wrong! You did well, very right!"

Behind him, the many disciples of Linfeng Hall, in addition to their previous admiration for Shen Qing, couldn't help but also feel a new sense of awe, no longer daring to approach him as casually as before.

"Don't just stand there, clean up the courtyard," Li Linfeng waved his hand and instructed the disciples of Linfeng Hall standing behind him.

The numerous disciples snapped to attention and promptly responded, "Yes!"

They had barely started cleaning the inner courtyard when a government officer in uniform, sword hanging at his side, walked in.

Seeing the courtyard full of bodies and the thick scent of blood, his expression faltered, and he quickly stepped back out to confirm the location again, realizing it indeed was Linfeng Hall, then stepped back in.

"What brings you here, officer?" A Fu, the manager of Linfeng Hall, hurried forward to inquire.

The government officer clasped his hands in a polite gesture, "Is Hero Shen here?"

"Are you looking for Shen Qing, Junior Brother Shen?" A Fu replied confused, "He's right here in the courtyard, just call out to him."

The officer nodded, took a step forward, and called out loudly, "Hero Shen, your deeds in slaying the tiger demon have been recognized, and the Lord County Magistrate has prepared a celebratory feast in your honor, specially inviting Hero Shen to attend."

Slaying the tiger demon!

Upon hearing this, the disciples in the courtyard of Linfeng Hall all turned their gazes to Shen Qing, who was leisurely sipping tea not far away.

Shen Qing tilted the spout of the teapot, his expression nonchalant as he said, "Understood, I'll be right there."
