The Emperor is Above

Chapter 132: If you dare to provoke us, we will kill you all! (Monthly ticket plus more)
It is hot in June and the sun is scorching.

Noon every day is when the sun is at its hottest.

The wasteland was filled with steam and mist. All the animals, birds and aquatic beasts hid in the shade to escape the heat quietly, occasionally letting out a low roar from the unbearable heat.

The solitary hill was also quiet. People who had worked hard for most of the day took a nap after lunch. With the protection of the dragon claw locust tree spirit, the villagers did not have to worry about their safety.

Qing Yi was wearing a long summer gown and had his hair tied up in a neat bun. His slender figure had gradually revealed the demeanor of a handsome young man. At least he no longer looked like a thin boy.

He strode forward with big but light steps, carrying a five-foot-long sword in one hand, a seven-foot-long bow in the other, and a huge quiver on his back.

Tu Shigu and Gongsun Wu, each holding a bow and longbow, followed Qing Yi closely and strode towards the southwest of Solitary Hill.

Outside the Guqiu village, militiamen could be seen from time to time lying on the grass in the shade of the trees to rest for a while after being tired from their practice under the giant trees. They did not notice the actions of Qing Yi and others.

"Brother Gongsun, the black cat is still there, right?" Qing Yi pulled out three thick and long rune arrows from the quiver as he walked.

These three rune arrows are very different from the rune arrows he made before. The arrow bodies are six feet longer, with arrow shafts as thick as an index finger, and the arrowheads made from the sharp teeth of an alligator are also sharper and longer.

Not only is the arrowhead carved with three runes of different shapes, but even the arrow shaft and tail are also engraved with different runes.

Gongsun Wu followed Qing Yi's steps and responded softly, "From yesterday to today, I have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the black cat.

This morning, it caught a red-banded python nearby for blood. After that, it tried to get closer to the solitary hill several times, but hesitated for a moment and gave up. Until now, it has been lying on the sand dam and keeping watch."

"It's good that we haven't moved!" Qing Yi couldn't help but chuckled, "This black cat has been hanging around our hill for a month. I don't know what it has observed, but it's annoyed by us instead of being bored.

These few days I made this pot of enhanced rune arrows for it, so that it can feel the hospitality of our host family, so that it won’t be criticized by cat ghost priests for not being considerate in the future.”

"Brother, this is a mid-level servant of the Cat Ghost God. It's fine to kill Kou Qiang's primary servant, but if we shoot it to death and another high-level servant shows up, what should we do?"

Although Master Tun was looking forward to seeing the power of the rune arrows wielded by Qing Yi, he couldn't help but worry about the strength of the cat ghosts and gods. After all, this guy was still timid.

Qing Yi shook his head and chuckled, "Brother Shi Gu, you can't be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. Now that things have come to this, do you really want to be a coward?
You have also heard the story the old man told about what happened in the Southern Wild Chen State fifty years ago. Even if we do nothing and just endure and give in, the evil spirits and demons will still ride on our heads and act tyrannically.

Heaven moves forward and a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself. No matter what evil spirits and ghosts are rampant, as long as they dare to provoke us, we will kill them all."

Gongsun Wu had a strange look in his eyes. This was not the way to explain "a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement". However, since the lord said so, he held back.

"Brother, you are right!" Tu Shigu felt that this sentence was very appealing to him. Qing Yi said it with a particularly domineering tone, and his uneasy eyes became firm. "Brother, you just honestly make your own weapons, but you are still bullied by the cat ghosts.

If you hadn't helped me, I would have surrendered to them sooner or later with my cowardly character. No matter what happens next, I trust your arrangements. I'll leave these two hundred pounds to you."

Recalling the tragic scene on the day when they migrated from Tuqiu to Guqiu, when Qing Yi let the caravan escape first while he intercepted the woolly rhinoceros alone, Tun Shigu could not help but sigh and say some sensational words.

Faced with such sensational words, Qing Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Shi Gu, why do I feel that your weight is more than 200 pounds now?"

"—"

Tu Shigu was speechless, patting his increasingly bulging belly in annoyance, and said angrily, "In the past, when I was at home, my brother would not take time to eat when he was busy, and he would often lose dozens of pounds.

I didn't expect that the food here is so good, brother. Not only do you have ninth-grade exotic beast meat to eat every day, but you also have ninth-grade beast bones to make soup. When you stay up late at night, Chai Yong will occasionally make some midnight snacks for you. Not only did you not lose weight after being busy for a month, you actually gained dozens of pounds. "Haha——"

Qing Yi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. Some people are really born fat. He half teased and half consoled,

"Brother Shi Gu, you are full of talent. Even if there is a famine, you can survive half a year longer than ordinary people just by relying on your fat body."

The three of them walked out of the solitary hill, talking and laughing quietly, bypassed the cultivated corn field, passed through a dense bush, and stopped talking and laughing.

Qing Yi waved his hand, and the three people immediately fell silent, tiptoeing and hiding behind a bush.

Through the gaps in the bushes, I could see the black cat still on a slightly raised sand dam more than ten feet high, two miles southwest of me. The scorching sun was shining on its black fur, but it showed no sign of avoiding the heat.

"Brother Gongsun, Brother Shigu, you two wait here. I will go meet the black cat alone." Qing Yi ordered the two without questioning. Then he walked around the bushes and strode towards the black cat.

"Meow--"

The black cat stood up immediately when it saw someone approaching. When it saw clearly that the person was Qing Yi, its eyes became even colder. One of its front paws couldn't help but eject five sharp blades, inadvertently cutting all the grass roots underneath.

"Tap-ta-"

Qing Yi approached the black cat expressionlessly. He was chased by the woolly rhinoceros for an entire afternoon that day. After returning home, he found that the warm air flow in his body had become stronger over the past month.

After a few days of experimenting, the warm air flow was directed into the rune arrow, and its power was more than five times greater than before. Even if the black cat's combat power was comparable to that of a sixth-grade exotic beast, it could still suffer a great loss.

As he thought about it, Qing Yi strode forward, not hiding his murderous intent at all. He put three rune arrows on the bow, ready to shoot at any time.

The distance between him and the black cat gradually shortened from two miles to four hundred feet, three hundred feet, and two hundred feet. When he was still one hundred feet away from the black cat, he stopped and no longer approached.

"Meow--"

The black cat jumped without hesitation and pounced over from the sand dam, its cold and strange big eyes flashing with bloodthirsty and cruel light.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Three rune arrows shot out like lightning, at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye, blocking the black cat's possible escape directions.

Unexpectedly, the black cat smiled strangely, and its sturdy body twisted unreasonably as if it was broken, and it actually successfully avoided the three rune arrows shot in a V-shape.

However, what puzzled Black Cat was that after Qing Yi's three rune arrows missed, he had no intention of continuing to shoot arrows. Instead, he looked like he was watching a joke.

At this moment, the rune on the tail of the arrow that it thought it had dodged actually lit up slightly, and the thick and long arrow body actually adjusted its angle by itself, piercing into its body from both sides. The last rune arrow that passed by it from above suddenly exploded.

"Meow--"

The black cat let out a violent scream, and its entire body was blown away by the explosive force of the rune arrow. It then fell heavily to the ground, unable to move for a long time.
