Chapter 202 – The Sword God Is Dead? Now an Arrow God Has Appeared?!

“Law Heart?”

On the balcony.

Hearing the system’s voice while watching the dawn break in the distance, Qin Yang felt an immediate sense of satisfaction.

The system finally produced something good!

All his back-and-forth efforts last night—

Constantly monitoring the Beast Tide, enduring the cold wind on the balcony all night—hadn’t been in vain.

Not bad!

That Supreme from the Beast God Sect was truly a good person.

He actually dropped rewards twice in a row!!

“I never expected that Demonkin could actually revive through a drop of blood.”

Qin Yang pondered the enemy’s condition, feeling a twinge of regret when he recalled firing the Sun-Shooting Bow earlier.

“Tch, if I’d known he was this tough, I should’ve captured him while he was weakened, locked him in the basement, and tortured him repeatedly. Kill him a thousand times to see if he’d keep dropping rewards… torment his soul…”

With that thought, Qin Yang returned indoors.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

After all, how long had it been since that damn system showed up?

Now that it’s finally here, he had to maximize the benefits!

If he’d seized the old man right after heavily injuring him—

Locked him up and tortured him repeatedly—that would’ve been a pretty good alternative.

After all his reflections, it boiled down to one thing.

He just hadn’t killed him enough times!!!

“What a pity, finally encountered someone fun to play with.”

Qin Yang shook his head slightly and sat back on the sofa, musing, “I went too hard, instantly killed the old man… If I’d captured him while he was weak, I could’ve kept farming him for rewards.”

“Or tortured his soul…”

“I hope all these Supremes from the Beast God Sect have this skill. If I run into them later, I’ll definitely milk the system dry.”

He muttered one sentence after another.

……

Xiaobai, standing nearby, froze upon hearing this, her face full of question marks.

“???”

“What does ‘didn’t kill enough’ mean?”

Is that even something a human would say?

Killing him twice wasn’t enough—you actually want to torture him repeatedly and kill him three or four more times… If that Supreme Realm Demonkin fell into Master’s hands, wouldn’t he wish he were dead?

“Master, you’re the real devil.”

Xiaobai clenched her fingers, taking a fearful step backward.

“Tch, why are you looking at me like that?”

Sensing Xiaobai’s gaze, Qin Yang directly picked her up and tossed her into the kitchen. “Hurry up and make me food. I still have to go to work later.”

“Oh…”

……

The sounds of spatulas and sizzling oil came from the kitchen, along with drifting smoke.

“Made a huge profit today—might as well check the rewards.”

Qin Yang sat cross-legged, pulled out his phone to check the time, and saw he still had plenty before work. Relaxing, he began reviewing his gains.

With a flip of his left hand—

The next moment.

A war bow wreathed in flowing flames materialized in his grasp.

As soon as it appeared, the late autumn chill in the room vanished, replaced by a scorching wind as if the blazing sun had descended.

“Sun-Shooting Bow, Emperor-Tier Divine Weapon.”

Qin Yang ran two fingers along the bow’s body.

According to the system’s prompt—

The Sun-Shooting Bow contained profound mysteries, encompassing two Space Laws and the Fire Law.

The very first arrow he’d fired earlier was already powerful enough to cross a thousand miles and kill a Supreme Realm expert.

And!

This was just the beginning!

If he continued to comprehend it deeply in the future, fully grasping the mysteries within the Sun-Shooting Bow…

“Not bad, I’ll set it aside for now and find time to slack off and comprehend it later.”

Qin Yang was very satisfied and put away the Sun-Shooting Bow.

There would be plenty of time; no need to rush for now. Now that he had the Sun-Shooting Bow…When winter comes, just hang it in a corner of the room, and there will be no need to turn on the air conditioning or heating. A gentle, warm breeze will fill the room, making it as cozy as spring.

It’s incredibly comfortable.

“Next is the Law Heart.”

Qin Yang accepted the reward and, with a flip of his hand, took out the Law Heart.

It looked like a crystal.

With distinct edges and corners, its texture resembled glazed tiles or crystal.

It shimmered with myriad colors—crimson red of the blood path, purple lightning of thunder, emerald green of wood techniques… as if it contained the essence of all the laws in the world, embracing everything.

The Law Heart.

It manifests the countless forms of all laws.

Its essence, however, is as clear as a mirror, capable of condensing Law Power. It has an extraordinary auxiliary effect for cultivation aimed at breaking through to the Supreme Realm.

“Not bad, not bad.”

“What a treasure!”

Qin Yang half-reclined on the sofa, lightly tapping the Law Heart with his fingertip, slightly stimulating the spiritual charm within.

The next moment.

Law Power spread.

Continuously expanding outward.

A few seconds later.

“Master…”

A soft, delicate voice called out.

Qin Yang followed the sound and looked.

He saw Xiaobai, drawn by the scent, scurrying out while scratching the ground. Her pink tongue licked the corner of her mouth, her little tail wagging excitedly. Her gaze was fixed intently on the Law Heart, as if she were about to drool with longing.

Drool trickled all over the floor…

“Master, can this servant have a lick?”

“Not too much, just a billion licks is all!!!”

……

……

Jianghai City Gate.

Boom—

Wave after wave of artillery fire swept the ground.

Blazing heat surged across the battlefield, igniting the Beast Tide below.

Smoke drifted upward, and the situation had reached its final stages.

The city defenders, filled with rage, freely harvested the lives of the Star Beasts, growing more courageous with each battle… Meanwhile, without the Venerable to lead them, the red glow in the Star Beasts’ eyes gradually faded, and they all began to retreat into the mountains.

In the blink of an eye.

Their defeat was total.

“It’s about time to end this.”

Lin Mofeng carried the corpse of the martial artist possessed by the Venerable, which still carried the Venerable’s original aura.

Lin Mofeng directly tossed it high above the city wall, using it as a public display to intimidate the Star Beasts below.

In no time, more Star Beasts saw it and scattered in panic.

“To be able to drive this Beast Tide, these Heretical Cultists are truly not simple,”

Li Daoming said, standing with his hands behind his back at the edge of the city wall, gazing toward the distant horizon. “Now that the Beast Tide has receded, Jianghai City has finally come to an end.”

“It’s a pity about Sword God Senior…”

Lin Mofeng looked up at the sky. “This defense of Jianghai City had almost zero casualties… He has done a great favor for our Jianghai…”

As the group stood talking on the city wall,

their voices drifted leisurely.

“I’m so useless…”

“I’m trash…”

Li Zixuan wore blood-stained white robes, her black hair flowing in the wind.

She looked up at the Venerable’s corpse in the sky, her sorrow deepening, her eyes filled with bloodshot streaks.

“Even these despicable Demonkin have left behind corpses, but Master’s can’t be found…”

Earlier, she had roamed the battlefield, searching tirelessly for her master’s remains amid the Beast Tide, but she found not a single trace or clue.

The explosion high in the sky had been immensely powerful, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

And her master, at the center of it, could not possibly have left any bones behind—his body had likely been completely reduced to dust.

As Li Zixuan was lost in thought,

a hand gently rested on her shoulder.

“Don’t be too sad, Zi Xuan…”Li Qinghe quietly approached and softly comforted, “Look on the bright side. Grandmaster possesses extraordinary means and might not have perished in the Beast Tide.”

As she spoke, Li Qinghe recalled the previous Sword God Valley incident and added, “Moreover… doesn’t he still have his doppelganger technique?”

“Doppelganger?”

Li Zixuan lowered her gaze, her voice trembling as she said, “But Sister Qinghe, you heard what Senior Brother Lin said earlier. Teacher only recently entered the Supreme Realm. How could he possibly have a Supreme Realm doppelganger? And even use it for self-destruction?”

“Self-destruction…”

After these words were spoken.

Li Qinghe didn’t continue the conversation upon hearing this, instead feeling somewhat uncertain in her heart.

Did the Sword God really self-destruct?

Based on the senior’s previous temperament.

Every time he took action, he was completely at ease, acting only when he was absolutely certain.

He always operated with overwhelming superiority, never fighting unprepared battles.

And…

Speaking of self-destruction.

Wasn’t the “Mutual Destruction with Heaven and Earth” I gave him before a similar technique?

Could this serve as a clue?!

Thinking of this.

Li Qinghe’s thoughts gradually clarified, as if grasping some thread of evidence, then she turned to look around and softly asked:

“Zi Xuan, did you see my teacher… your Senior Brother last night?”

“Senior Brother?”

Upon hearing this, Li Zixuan shook her head blankly and said, “It seems he didn’t come.”

As she spoke, she glanced back toward the city: “Master must have given strict orders for Senior Brother not to come. Otherwise, given his nature, he would have been here…”

“Qin didn’t come?”

Hearing this, Li Qinghe’s heart trembled slightly.

Her thoughts became even more active.

Something’s wrong…

This is too problematic!!!

Logically speaking, with the Jianghai Beast Tide causing such a huge commotion that even our teacher was alarmed, how could Qin, as the head senior disciple, show no reaction at all?

Even if he’s usually laid-back, how could he remain indifferent when our teacher is in danger?

Moreover.

This happened during the Sword God Valley incident too!

He remained calmly in the Library without moving, but in reality, he had already grasped the entire situation, showing no panic, while the young lady ended up looking like a fool in her anxiety!

“There’s something wrong… There’s definitely something wrong here.”

Li Qinghe looked toward the Library direction, her brows tightly furrowed.

“It seems tomorrow I’ll need to go find Qin and verify this.”

……

……

Time passed.

As the final wave of the Beast Tide receded,

Woo-woo—

Two sharp blasts of the city defense horn echoed through Jianghai.

The sound reverberated over the city,

Lingering for a long time.

Cheers spread throughout the city as countless citizens surged toward Jianghai City Gate to welcome the defending soldiers.

On the viewing platform.

The Police Inspector Commander stood with his team lined up on the city wall, bathed in sunlight,

With roaring cheers and applause from below.

“Ahem, everyone quiet please!”

The Police Inspector Commander stood on the high wall, his gaze sweeping over the citizens below,

“This Beast Tide was exceptionally fierce, far exceeding the scale of previous ones. I sincerely thank every soldier who came to assist in the defense,”

“Facing such a natural disaster, we achieved nearly zero casualties, all thanks to the righteous assistance of the Jianghai Sword God and Arrow God seniors!”

“Now that the Beast Tide has receded, we must never forget their kindness.”

“The entire Jianghai City will remember their contributions!!!”

His voice resonated throughout Jianghai.

As night fell,

Numerous Kongming lanterns rose into the night sky.

Households throughout the city erected memorial tablets for the deceased.People commemorated the Jianghai Sword God in their own ways, filling the city with magnificent scenes.

Meanwhile.

Regarding the Jianghai Beast Tide incident, the internet had already exploded with discussions, directly topping the trending searches. The entire nation was heatedly debating.

“Jianghai truly produces extraordinary talents!!”

“The Sword God is dead? Now comes an Arrow God!?”
