Chapter 311 -37: Breaking Limit Thrice, Terrifying Archery Skills!_2
After one breath,
He pulled to full draw.
Snap—
Jiang Ning released the arrow, and it tore through the air.
The next moment, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across Jiang Ning’s eyes.
Beside him, Xie Xiaojiu’s face was filled with astonishment.
Because Jiang Ning’s arrow was entirely different from the earlier ones.
As the arrow left the bowstring, it instantly set off a storm.
Carrying a terrifying momentum, it sped on, breaking through the air in front of him.
The commotion it caused along its path was more than tenfold louder than before.
With the storm’s augmentation, the arrow’s speed was extremely fast, almost double that of the previous shots.
And the arrow itself was enveloped by Thunder Light, transforming into a bolt of lightning.
Jiang Ning’s gaze was fixedly on the arrow in midair.
“Is this the Wind and Thunder Arrow?” he muttered to himself.
Beside him.
Xie Xiaojiu murmured to herself, “Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, it is said that when it reaches a supremely high level, a single arrow can summon the wind and thunder.”
The next moment,
Xie Xiaojiu looked at Jiang Ning with a face that flickered with disbelief.
She now recognized that Jiang Ning’s archery was a Middle Grade martial art, the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill.
But the archery technique Jiang Ning displayed astounded her beyond words.
An arrow to summon wind and thunder!
To her knowledge, that was nothing but an exaggeration common among worldly martial arts.
If an arrow could truly summon wind and thunder upon release,

It would no longer be a martial skill, but rather Divine Skills from the Ancient Times.
On the other side,
In Jiang Ning’s perception, this wind and thunder-summoning arrow had already traveled several miles away, approaching the limit of its momentum.
Yet the arrow was still covered with thunder and lightning, charged with a terrifying force.
When the momentum of the arrow gradually waned, and it slantedly pierced into the lake water,
Sizzle—
Electric arcs suddenly danced upon the lake’s surface.
“Is this the Wind and Thunder Arrow?”
A new wave of surprise flashed through Jiang Ning’s mind.
This arrow in his current perspective, had clearly stepped beyond the boundary of martial arts.
Especially when the Power of thunder and lightning erupted, it was even more beyond the realm of martial arts.
At least, as far as he knew, no martial skill could harness natural thunderbolts for one’s own use.
“This power… is a bit exaggerated!!” Jiang Ning saw the explosion of thunder and lightning across the lake’s surface, where charred fish corpses floated on the water, and inwardly clicked his tongue in awe.
The effect now was completely beyond his expectations.
Not only had the arrow’s flight speed nearly doubled, but its maximum range had significantly increased as well.
The most formidable was the Power of thunder and lightning unleashed in the end—that was the most terrifying part.
Although he didn’t have enemies to test it on now, and thus didn’t know how strong the final burst of thunder and lightning was,
But just the increase in speed alone left Jiang Ning quite satisfied.
The doubled speed brought about a substantial increase in power.
As for the unleashed Power of thunder and lightning, just witnessing that scene from afar he knew it couldn’t be weak.
[Skill]: Wind Thunder Arrow Skill (Three times Break Limit 1/4000) (Traits: Wind and Thunder Breath, Heart Arrow Skill, Wind and Thunder Arrow)
Jiang Ning glanced at his stats panel and then ended his practice.
“Little Jiu, time to go!” Jiang Ning said indifferently.
As his words fell, he leapt up.
Seeing this, Xie Xiaojiu hurriedly followed.
After a few bounds, the two landed on the light boat Xie Xiaojiu had just ridden over.
“Sir, shall we go to Beiqiu Mountain now?” Xie Xiaojiu steadied herself and promptly asked.
“Mm!” Jiang Ning nodded, “To Beiqiu Mountain we go. If we find the Black Mountain Army, it’ll be just right to test my archery on them.”
“Sir’s archery is truly incredible!!” Xie Xiaojiu sincerely praised.
Jiang Ning smiled noncommittally.
The Wind Thunder Arrow Skill, although thrice Break Limited, was the only skill he had that consumed five hundred Source Energy Points to Break Limit.
Judging by the level of Source Energy consumption, this archery skill was now the most profound one he possessed.
While the two were conversing,
The light boat underneath them suddenly began to move without wind, slowly picking up speed towards the center of the lake.
“This…” Xie Xiaojiu, feeling the movement beneath her feet, suddenly widened her eyes in astonishment at the self-propelling light boat.
She had just arrived at the deserted island by rowing a small boat all the way here.
Now she and Jiang Ning were standing on the deck of the small boat, not a single person paddling, yet the boat beneath their feet started moving on its own.
“Don’t panic!” Jiang Ning glanced at Xie Xiaojiu indifferently, “This is just a small trick of mine.”
“A small trick?” Xie Xiaojiu looked at Jiang Ning in wonder.
Jiang Ning smiled at him and then turned his gaze to the front, channeling the Water Control Divine Ability to get the boat moving.
Afterward,
Under the augmentation of his Water Control Divine Ability, the small boat beneath their feet sped up continuously, getting faster and faster.
In no time, it shot towards Beiqiu Mountain like an arrow leaving its bowstring.
The vast and boundless Luoshui,
Which gathered the waters from countless mountains and great rivers.
There was also a large river that passed through the interior of Beiqiu Mountain, hence Jiang Ning intended to follow that river directly into the heart of Beiqiu Mountain.
…
Beiqiu Mountain.
Situated ten miles north of Luoshui County.
This mountain stretched for dozens of miles, crisscrossed with mountain ranges, with a great river flowing through its valleys, gathering numerous water sources of the Beiqiu Mountain ranges.
At this moment,
In a canyon,
A group of officials dressed in formal martial artist attire was swiftly advancing.
“Brother Liu, a bit faster!” Liuu Shansheng urged quickly.
Hearing this, Liu Zhaonan spurred on the people behind him, then said to Liuu Shansheng, “Brother Liuu, how much further?”
Liuu Shansheng flashed beside a piece of rock, glanced at the markings on it,
And immediately his eyes lit up with excitement.
“According to the markings left here, we’re not far now!”
…
Meanwhile,
In a valley,
A group of people rested by a lake nestled within the valley, starting to boil water and cook food.
Not far away, five pitch-black horses were lowering their heads to drink water by the lake’s edge.
“Boss, based on the confession of that little rat we caught earlier, the group coming after us is likely from the Inspection Office.”
The burly man tore into the charred thigh in his hand while speaking, “If that’s the case, let’s wait for them here and see what the Inspection Office’s people are made of!”
As he spoke, a glint of greed flashed in the burly man’s eyes.
“The flesh of martial artists is great medicine! Just what we need to replenish ourselves.”
“Good! We’ll follow the boss’s lead!”
…
On the other side,
Jiang Ning and Xie Xiaojiu piloted the small boat, moving upstream against the current coming from within Beiqiu Mountain.
In front of Jiang Ning’s formidable Water Control Divine Ability, even though the small boat was moving against the current, its speed remained swift, and soon they entered the vast wilderness of the mountains and forests.
“Sir, what should we do now?” Xie Xiaojiu glanced around at the riverbanks and asked.
“No rush!” Jiang Ning spoke calmly, “Let’s follow this great river for now.”
At that moment, Jiang Ning was using his hearing to its utmost limit.
Within a range of one or two miles around them, any slightly larger movement would be captured by him.
This was also the reliance that led him to bring Xie Xiaojiu into Beiqiu Mountain.
Though vast, Beiqiu Mountain was only a few miles across.
With his current powerful sense of hearing, going upstream along the great river beneath their feet would allow him to scout about one-third of Beiqiu Mountain.
Therefore, in Jiang Ning’s view, finding the hidden Black Mountain Army within Beiqiu Mountain wouldn’t be difficult.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea,
Jiang Ning’s ears twitched slightly.
His face then revealed a slight smile, “I think I’ve found the Black Mountain Army!”
“Sir, you found the Black Mountain Army?” Xie Xiaojiu suddenly widened her eyes, looking around.
However, no matter how she observed, she could not see any trace of the Black Mountain Army nearby.
Right after, she realized the small boat was racing towards the shore.
In a few breaths’ time, the boat docked at the bank.
“Come, follow me!” Jiang Ning said.
“Yes, Sir!” Xie Xiaojiu immediately replied.
At this moment, there were still many doubts in her heart.
But she secretly suppressed the questions and followed behind Jiang Ning.
The two of them immediately walked forward.
The closer they got, the clearer the sounds of weapons clashing became in Jiang Ning’s ears.
