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

Facing the relentless pressure from Xie Rui and Li Wenze, Shen Qing realized that if he couldn't find a way to break the deadlock, he might not escape today's calamity.

Nearby, Shang Jin and Shao Hongling could clearly see this as well. The joy in their eyes gradually faded, replaced by panic.

In this battle, Shen Qing was already on the brink of danger.

Just at this moment, Shao Hongling bit her lip, showing a hint of determination.

With a resolute heart, she faced neither fear nor hesitation, maneuvering all her movement techniques and charged towards the space between Shen Qing and Xie Rui and Li Wenze.

"Villains, dare you fight me!" she shouted loudly while sprinting.

Shang Jin was shocked upon seeing this.

In his view, with Shao Hongling's level of cultivation rushing forward, it was nothing short of suicide.

But to his surprise, closely following Shao Hongling, A Da and Xiao Man also charged forward, determinedly shouting, "Miss!"

"Crazy, crazy!" Shang Jin's face went numb, unable to comprehend these scenes.

"What do we do, my lord?" Seeing Shao Hongling and her servants recklessly charging forward, a few brothers beside Shang Jin couldn't help but ask.

Shang Jin spat on the ground and drew the dagger from his waist, saying, "What else can we do, charge! How can we, a group of big men, be inferior to her, a woman?!"

Hearing this, Shang Jin's brothers hesitated.

They felt their acquaintanceship with Shen Qing wasn't that deep, making this adventure seem unworthy.

Shang Jin glanced at them, understood their thoughts, and charged forward alone without insisting on them following.

Xie Rui and Li Wenze, advancing swiftly, and Shen Qing, with a serious expression, all turned their heads upon hearing the exclamations beneath them.

In the ruins, dressed in black tight clothing, Shao Hongling was constantly traversing and leaping, charging forward bravely to stand in front of Shen Qing.

She drew her dagger, pointing it at Xie Rui and Li Wenze, and sternly shouted, "I am Shao Hongling, dare you fight me?!"

Xie Rui and Li Wenze furrowed their brows. At a glance, they saw that this woman's cultivation was merely at the Qi Cultivation Realm, not even crossing the Qi Hai Realm.

To speak bluntly, killing her would be as simple as crushing an ant for them.

Incredibly, this woman dared to provoke them, equal to courting death.

Standing behind Shao Hongling, Shen Qing was equally astonished. His surprise wasn't any less than that of Xie Rui and Li Wenze.

He looked down to see Shao Hongling behind her back making gestures, signaling his departure, which made his expression change.

Shen Qing gritted his teeth, focused his mind, and the Water Ink Panel appeared before his vision.

[Skill: Great Void Shifting Skill (Beginner)]

[Progress: 43/100 points]

[Status: Cannot be improved]

[Note: A secret skill passed down from ancient times within the Shi family. Now with the collapse of great paths, cultivation is extremely difficult. The higher the level reached, the slower the progress. But through hard work comes equal reward. Mastering this martial art to the Perfect Realm allows reversing the river of time, possessing the might of Void Shattering.]

[Skill: Da Xu Technique (mastery)]

[Progress: 477/500 points]

Red Ink reminder: [Detecting similar martial art "Da Xu Technique," would you like to refine and extract its points to fill this martial art?]

In Shen Qing's original plan, he intended to continue cultivating the Da Xu Technique for a while, gathering enough points before refining.

Thus, he could elevate the Great Void Shifting Skill to a sufficiently high realm, even to the degree of perfection, achieving the ability to traverse the void freely.

However, in this critical moment, he couldn't afford to worry about so much.

Shen Qing did not hesitate: "Refine!"

[Da Xu Technique refined successfully, extracting 100+200+300+400+477... totaling 1477 points.]

[Would you like to infuse into the Great Void Shifting Skill?]

"Yes!"

Boom!

At the moment Shen Qing made his decision, waves of unusual fluctuations emanated from the depths of the Qi Sea.

[Skill: Great Void Shifting Skill (Beginner)]

[Skill: Great Void Shifting Skill (Proficient)]

[Skill: Great Void Shifting Skill (Minor Accomplishment)]

[Progress: 120/1500 points]

[Status: Cannot be improved]

[Note: Diligence brings prosperity, idleness leads to defeat, such is the truth of a word. Through persistent effort, you have finally cultivated this martial art to the realm of minor accomplishment, with abundant inner spiritual power, capable of maneuvering and shifting within void space, crossing dozens of miles in a step, unimpeded.]

Shen Qing looked at the reminder appearing in his vision, his expression exceptionally solemn, as familiar changes surfaced...

Xie Rui and Li Wenze, looking into the distance, saw warriors constantly charging into the ruins, grew increasingly furious at Shao Hongling's provocation, and had no intention of showing mercy.

"Since you seek death, I shall fulfill your wish! Get lost!"

Li Wenze, with a fierce expression, swung his long blade horizontally.

Facing such an insignificant existence as Shao Hongling, he only used thirty percent of his spiritual power, not going all out.

Nevertheless, the blade light spread out before him, enveloping the entire world in front of Shao Hongling.

Shao Hongling, holding a dagger, found her body unable to move under the means of this Primordial Spirit Realm warrior, only staring helplessly as the blade light overwhelmed her.

"Ah!"

Two heartrending screams suddenly erupted.

In front of Shao Hongling, two flowers of blood bloomed like roses.

She never expected that A Da and Xiao Man, unbeknownst to her, had rushed in front of her, using their bodies as shields to block the strike for her.

These two had almost frozen to death in the snow years ago and were saved by her from the roadside, now dying this way before her eyes.

Even so, Shao Hongling retained the blade across her front, not yielding an inch, her face unchanged.

Li Wenze saw this scene and was furious, unable to contain the discontent in his heart.

Such insignificant ants were continually obstructing him?!

He didn't hold back anymore, fully mustering his spiritual power for a slash.

At this critical juncture, Shen Qing had just finished internalizing all the memories of the Great Void Shifting Skill.

He remained expressionless, reaching out with one hand.

Shao Hongling, under the blade, inexplicably disappeared and the next moment reappeared beside Shen Qing.

Boom!

Li Wenze's blade descended, accompanied by the explosive sound of tearing air, striking directly at the ground.

The moment the blade light made contact with the ground, an indescribable wave instantly spread out, and the ground shuddered intensely.

The ground, resembling a water puddle, was struck with a stick.

Stones splattered, dust billowed, forming a magnificent ring-shaped wave, surging outward.

Shen Qing did not hesitate, wrapping an arm around Shao Hongling's waist: "Go!"

Xie Rui and Li Wenze found it hard to accept that Shen Qing could escape under such combined effort.

"Chase!"

The two transformed into two streaks of rainbow light, flanking Shen Qing from the left and right.

Shen Qing, stepping on seven stars, kept maneuvering in the void, crossing several miles in a step.

Glancing back on both sides, he noticed the magic treasures in Xie Rui and Li Wenze's hands shooting towards him unwaveringly, locked onto him.

Shen Qing gritted his teeth, activated the Great Void Shifting Skill, a three-legged small cauldron manifested from the depths of the Qi Sea, shot out from his brow, and collided head-on.

Boom!

Xie Rui and Li Wenze hit what seemed like a wall, letting out a shout and abruptly stopping before being flung back.

Shen Qing wasn't spared either, feeling an unstoppable force from the three-legged cauldron assaulting him.

He and Shao Hongling, out of control, charged into the ruins.

Witnessing the terror outside the ruins, Shen Qing maintained a thread of clarity, exerting himself to change direction, accidentally rushing into the entrance of the ruins.

Bang!

After entering, he crashed against the steps of the ruins, unable to suppress the surge of vitality, his face flushed, while Shao Hongling, who rushed in with him, fainted.

Shen Qing shook his head, looked around, revealing a peculiar expression.

He found the ruins surprisingly vast, with mountains appearing in its depths, much larger than it appeared from outside.

He only occupied a corner of the ruins.

Not far away, sounds of fighting and killing reached him.

Focusing, Shen Qing saw many warriors fighting fiercely at the entrance of the ruins, each striving to be the first to enter, with the door already slightly ajar.

On the door's plaque, the large characters "Tianxuan" stood out, catching his eye.
