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

```

Boom!

The Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array continuously rose, with yellow radiance filling the sky.

Within the array, everyone felt an icy serpent's tongue slithering around their necks, sending shivers down their spines.

An Innate Martial Master, sensing that all was not right, decisively acted before the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array fully closed, attempting to escape immediately.

He rode on the Rainbow Light, soaring straight to the top of the Formation.

This Innate Martial Master concentrated all his Spiritual Power into one punch and struck out.

Bang!

A yellow beam appeared on the Formation, completely covering the Innate Martial Master.

"Ah..."

A piercing scream echoed in midair.

In an instant, this Innate Martial Master was devoured by the fierce killing intent within the Formation, and his aura extinguished instantly.

Witnessing this scene, everyone shuddered, eager to escape this land of death.

"Boom..."

"Whoosh!"

"Thud!"

"This Formation is too terrifying!"

Even Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

His pupils slightly contracted, detecting the myriad of hidden killing intents within the Formation.

"We need to go quickly!" a martial master shouted anxiously, his voice filled with undeniable fear and trembling.

The surviving martial masters turned into headless flies, desperately seeking a way to break the Formation.

No one cared about the Merit Stones or Ancient Spiritual Treasures anymore.

The desire to survive made everyone's goals gradually align.

Only Shen Qing, with sharp eyes, firmly targeted Xie Rui and Li Wenze, a strong killing intent quietly growing in his heart.

These two had crossed him repeatedly, and he was determined to kill them no matter what!

With a gloomy expression, Shen Qing activated the Great Void Shifting Technique, traversing sideways, step by step closing in on Xie Rui and Li Wenze.

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array finally "woke up."

Golden lights roamed like furious dragons, tearing the space apart, each light containing enough energy to destroy a Spirit Void Realm or even Primordial Spirit Realm.

Many martial masters perished within these energies.

Seeing Shen Qing approaching, Xie Rui and Li Wenze became intensely nervous.

Having lost their "Fake Magical Treasure," injured, and dealing with the Formation's energies, they couldn't withstand Shen Qing's assault.

Once in Shen Qing's hands, they were sure to die.

Thus, the two combined their forces, channeling all their Spiritual Energy to break the Formation's constraints.

Suddenly, a thick beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the area where they stood.

As the light flickered, they were pushed back by the Formation's powerful energies, even emitting a burnt smell from their bodies.

They couldn't shake off the assaults from the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array.

Elsewhere, several noble sons and their guards and Guardians were desperately attacking the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array, seeking a slim chance to break free.

However, how could the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array be easily shaken by ordinary people?

In an instant, countless dense golden lights and flames poured down like a waterfall.

Their flesh flew, revealing bones, suffering heavy losses.

Among them, the princes and princesses of the Wang Family were the most powerful, with Guardians bringing powerful weapons.

At this point, they held nothing back, directly deploying them.

It was a Spirit Tower, with the tower door wide open, and the Spiritual Power within pouring out like a river from the Milky Way, blocking the golden energies, creating a stalemate.

"We must cooperate if we want a slim chance!" someone shouted urgently. The situation was extremely dire, and only cooperation could avoid the fate of total annihilation.

Upon hearing this, many martial masters immediately responded.

They quickly gathered around these noble sons, jointly resisting the energies within the Formation.

Xie Rui and Li Wenze were no exceptions.

Realizing the power of the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array, which they couldn't withstand alone, they put aside their Primordial Spirit Realm pride and actively approached the princely heirs of each major family.

At this moment, Shen Qing had already closed in on Xie Rui and Li Wenze.

He shouted angrily, his figure rising, slashing out with his blade, the blade glow like a dragon,

"Thunder Abyss" wrapped in thunder light, containing violent thunder force, roaring towards Xie Rui and Li Wenze's vital points.

Seeing this, Xie Rui and Li Wenze's faces changed drastically, hurriedly using their movement technique to dodge the fearsome strike.

Yet the previous setbacks had halved their power from its peak, and the ferocity of the "Thunder Abyss" Treasure Blade was too much, and they couldn't completely dodge.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted as the Thunder Light clashed with their protective Spiritual Power, exploding into dazzling brilliance.

Xie Rui and Li Wenze felt a powerful force, involuntarily retreating several steps, their faces turning pale as paper, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

"Damn it, how is Shen Qing this strong!" Xie Rui gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger.

Li Wenze also showed a solemn expression, knowing that unless they gave their all, they might fall to Shen Qing before even the Formation's energies could finish them.

"Brother Xie, don't hold back, let's go all out and fight him!"

Li Wenze shouted, his figure rising again, channeling all his Spiritual Power into a sword glow, charging straight at Shen Qing's face.

Xie Rui did the same.

Seeing this, Shen Qing remained serious.

These two were Primordial Spirit Realm experts, full of Spiritual Power, and possessed many mysterious techniques.

He dared not be careless.

Relying on his movement technique, Shen Qing distanced himself, planning to wield the "Thunder Abyss" Spiritual Treasure again.

This Spirit Treasure acquired from an Ancient ruin strangely suited him well.

Though each move consumed significant Spiritual Power, with the Six Path Whale Swallowing Technique's support, it was manageable.

Seeing him preparing to strike, Xie Rui and Li Wenze both suddenly opened their mouths, simultaneously uttering a word: "Zha!"

Shen Qing suddenly felt his mind sink, as if a thorn had pierced his consciousness deeply.

Xie Rui and Li Wenze's faces lit up with joy upon seeing this.

This was their signature Soul Stab after breaking into the Primordial Spirit Realm, capable of affecting a martial master's consciousness, causing confusion at best, and a stupor at worst.

In duals, it often has unexpected effects.

They had already noticed that Shen Qing was merely a Spirit Void Realm martial master, his cultivation just one Great Realm below theirs, unable to defend against their Soul Stab.

But to their surprise, Shen Qing seemed unaffected, continuing his actions without any hesitation.

His blade stance unchanged, the blade glow like lightning, enveloping Xie Rui and Li Wenze in an instant.

"Boom!"

Thunder and lightning flashed, striking directly at Xie Rui and Li Wenze.

Their faces were filled with disbelief, unable to comprehend why their previously invincible Soul Stab had failed.

In truth, Shen Qing had developed Divine Sense under the support of his panel.

The Soul Stab was negligible on him, even less impactful than the memories surging at each breakthrough.

With a mere thought, Shen Qing suppressed the discomfort.

"Ah!"

Already injured, the two were charred black under the "Thunder Abyss" Spiritual Treasure's assault, with many parts of their bodies breaking and losing much vitality.

Xie Rui and Li Wenze wavered, their last bit of strength nearly exhausted, on the verge of collapse.

Just as Shen Qing was about to deal the finishing blow, a crisp feminine voice suddenly rang out: "Lord Shen, wait!"

The young lady of the Wang Family, Wang Wan'er, wearing a flowing cloud brocade gown, stepped like a lotus flower, swiftly coming before Shen Qing to stop him.

Shen Qing sized up this noble daughter.

She stood tall and graceful, with smooth skin, and her almond-shaped eyes were captivating.

The Wang Family was a leading clan in the Great Zhou Country, with ancestors who fought alongside the Ji Family's patriarch, a nearly thousand-year-old family, not to be underestimated.

Shen Qing coldly said, "Miss Wang, you wish to interfere in our grudge and protect these two?"

Wang Wan'er shook her head and said, "I'm not doing it for them, but for ourselves. Look at the slaughter about to begin with the Huang Tian Sect's Formation, our lives hang by a thread. These two are Primordial Spirit Realm experts; having their aid means more power, increasing our odds of breaking free."

"I'm unaware of the deep grievances between you, but I hope you can set aside personal vendettas for the greater good."

"I, Wang Wan'er, am willing to vouch with the Wang Family's reputation. If you lay down your personal grievances and face the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array together, you can settle scores once we break free. Such killing benefits no one."

Her words won many nods secretly, agreeing with her point.

However, Shen Qing remained indifferent, his gaze showing only endless coldness and determination.

"I refuse!"

"You!" Wang Wan'er was infuriated.

To her, it was clearly beneficial for everyone, but Shen Qing was unreasonably ungrateful.

Shen Qing sneered, "Just one question: when martial masters came to kill me, why did none of you stand out? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Wang Wan'er didn't hesitate to say, "That was then. Without this Kill Array, we couldn't intervene."

"So, can I take it to mean my life never mattered to any of you?"

Wang Wan'er paused.

In fact, initially, they hadn't considered Shen Qing worth noticing.

Though a Spirit Void Realm martial master is formidable, in a millennium-old family, it's insignificant.

Wang Wan'er bit her lip, "Don't worry, if we manage to escape, the Wang Family will ensure your protection and elevate you highly."

"Haha." Shen Qing laughed.

Who could guarantee post-escape matters?

To Shen Qing, she was merely talking nonsense.

"I appreciate Miss Wang's goodwill," he said, raising his Treasure Blade high, "Today, I intend to kill, and no one can stop me! That's what I say!"

As his words fell, Shen Qing's "Thunder Abyss" Treasure Blade descended heavily, channeling all his Spiritual Power into one strike, imposing a tremendous force.

A flash of cold light, as the blade glow like lightning, instantly engulfed Xie Rui and Li Wenze.

Screams erupted abruptly and then ceased.

When the blade glow dissipated, the silhouettes of Xie Rui and Li Wenze were gone.

The air was saturated with a bloody scent.

Wang Wan'er shrieked in terror, unable to believe Shen Qing would be so decisive, ruthlessly killing them before her, without considering her reputation.

"You..."

Shen Qing sheathed his blade, standing coldly as ice,

"In this world, strength dictates everything. Those two were weaker than me, and their survival wouldn't aid much; they died deservedly."

His words were cold and unfeeling, stating an irrefutable fact.

Wang Wan'er's face turned pale, the blood draining, leaving her speechless.

The surrounding crowd was abuzz, shocked at Shen Qing's ruthless decisiveness.

"Young Miss!"

Wang Family's guards rushed over, protecting Wang Wan'er, warily watching Shen Qing.

"Young man, doing this won't benefit you; show mercy where possible." An elder Guardian advised Shen Qing earnestly.

Shen Qing scoffed, "The Formation's energies grow stronger; you have time to preach, better focus on protecting your young miss."

"Hmph! Hope when this Array drains you to death, you're still this cocky! Ignorant fool, let's go!"

Wang Wan'er scornfully laughed, leaving directly.

Returning to the other noble heirs, she cursed, "This damned hunter, what's he so arrogant about?"

The noble heirs shared information quickly; even before the Incident of Order began, they had insights on certain martial masters participating.

They naturally knew of Shen Qing, a hunter by origin.

The thought of someone of his background rejecting her made her infuriated.

"Never mind this, let's break the Formation together. Though powerful, if we give it our all, there's still hope. Once we escape, that obstinate fool can die in the array!"

A young man from the Xie Family spoke up.

The Xie Family rivaled the Wang Family in stature, both families deeply rooted, now joining forces.

"Alright!" Wang Wan'er nodded vigorously.

With them at the core, others rallied, continually striking.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Formation intensified.

A powerful momentum released within the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array.

A golden millstone appeared, pressing upon the martial masters within the Formation.

Everyone felt an immense pressure, almost immobilizing them.

Even Guardians and guards from noble families struggled to resist.

A martial master, inadvertently touched, exploded in the millstone's energy, turning to dust, perishing in the Formation.

"Join forces to break the Array!"

The Guardian wielding the Spirit Tower shouted sternly, his hair flowing, exuding overwhelming battle intent.

Above his head, the Profound Spirit Tower rotated slowly, resisting the Formation's energies.

On his command, other martial masters swiftly joined in rallying the Spirit Tower.

The Spirit Tower emitted a chilling aura.

All exerted their utmost to break free from the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array.

Unfortunately, the previously unstoppable magical artifact still couldn't shake the Array's foundation to open a path to survival.

As time passed, the Formation strengthened, more people failing to withstand it, consumed by its terror, leaving their names here.

Shen Qing also sensed the escalating threat, spreading his Divine Sense, constantly seeking weak points in the Formation.

He had no way back.

Outside the Formation.

Shen Xiaohu, after setting up the Nine Heavens Absolute Kill Array, led his subordinates over.

He moved to a vantage point outside the Formation, viewing everything inside clearly.

Suddenly, Shen Xiaohu spotted a familiar figure, exclaiming, "Brother!"
