Dongyi were the barbarians since the ancient times and they were not viewed as ordinary human. The people of this tribe had unique blood vessels and were born with supernatural powers while the Kings of the tribe had the ability to fire a bow with a force of millions of pounds.
A warrior from the Dongyi tribe who was based on a deserted island on the Eastern Sea once fired nine arrows consecutively and killed the shapeshifted Nine-headed Demon King. But surprisingly, the warrior only lived for a couple of hundred years.
The incident was recorded in the 'Strange Tales of Divines and Demons' and Shen Lian felt unbelievable when he read the story.
With such amazing powers, even if the warrior could not escape death, he could have lived for a couple hundred more years. After all, once a person reached a certain level of dexterity, they would naturally have a better understanding of metaphysics and themselves. Survival was a basic instinct and it would not be difficult for the Dongyi's to explore how to prolong their life span.
The young adult was delighted to hear Shen Lian speak such authentic Dongyi dialect and he continued talking to Shen Lian.
From what Shen Lian understood, the Dongyi's mistaken him as a bird and wanted to shoot him down. They did not expect Shen Lian to be someone with extraordinary superpowers and they were glad that they did not injure him. They felt terribly sorry and asked if they could compensate him in any way.
Shen Lian analyzed the boy, he looked young and had clear pure eyes. He held on tightly to the black mystical bow that had no carvings of runes on it. The tension of the bowstring was extremely tight and Shen Lian could not help but wonder what great force would it bring when the bowstring was pulled to the maximum.
Earlier on when Shen Lian was flying, the sky was filled with clouds and mist. Plus, Shen Lian's Dao robe was really loose and his sleeves that swayed along the wind looked like a pair of wings. It was not unusual for someone to mistake him as a bird.
But why would the young adult fire his arrows so hastily? After all, there were so many other birds roaming in the sky.
Shen Lian observed the troopers behind the young adult and he could see the fear in their eyes. They looked extremely fatigued and it seemed like they have been in a state of alert.
Although the young adult had a pair of lively eyes and he seemed energetic. But Shen Lian could tell that he was very tensed as if he was on standby for something.
As the young adult was apologizing to Shen Lian, he was also observing the state of the surroundings.
Shen Lian generally would not switch on his spiritual consciousness because staying full focus the entire time would take a toll on him. However, his hearing and eyesight were as sharp as a knife.
He heard an unusual sound of the wind and looked up towards the sky.
A flock of clouds traveled at a high speed, the roaring sound could be heard with a hint of faint lightning. It may look somewhat similar to the sky that Shen Lian just traveled but if to take a closer look, the differences were actually quite distinct.
The flock of clouds was moving so quickly because of the flapping action of a pair of wings that triggered the thunder and stirred the storm.
The young adult was very tensed and immediately pulled his bow and arrow and fired it towards the sky.
The troopers behind him too were on standby. They raised their spear made of wood but perhaps their shooting distance was shorter compared to their leader and that was why they did not fire any arrows.
Each of the troopers was toned and muscular. They did not look overly buff as their muscles were well balanced.
If to compare them with ordinary humans, they would be first class warriors. As their Qi condensed, you could feel a sense of Qi of devilry gushing through the clouds.
The arrowed fired by the young adult swayed slightly at the void and drew a beautiful arc. It accurately stabbed into that foreign object.
The clouds gathered together and pounded against the arrow. Part of its figure was revealed and it was a creature with a bird's head and a man's body with a pair of protruding wings from its ribs. His wings flapped and that triggered the thunderstorm.
This was a human-like creature and humanoids were not exactly rare in the world, especially those with wings. As the chief of Qing Xuan, Shen Lian had seen and read a lot.
But it was a first for him to encounter a creature that has protruding wings from its ribs and could easily summon the thunderstorm. If such creature was recorded in the books, we would have recognized it.
The flock of clouds smacked the arrow. A hint of whistling sound could be heard coming from mid-air as the arrow shattered.
Shen Lian noticed that it was in that moment, the clouds were compressed to the maximum and then exploded to generate such a frightening force.
But the scene took place quite a distance away and Shen Lian did not manage to sense the details of it. But he was highly interested in this technique.
The birdman did not stop but instead dashed downwards. The sound of the thunder was loud and faint blue sparks could be seen around him. His momentum was impressive.
The troopers began tossing their spears with the intention of piercing through the birdman.
But the birdman was swift and dodged the spears easily. As for those that he could not avoid, he would sweep it away with his wings and crushed the spears with the thunder.
The young adult did not have the time to explain to Shen Lian. He just fired away and his speed was stunningly impressive.
He fired six arrows in one breath, making it a series of arrow attack.
He was perspiring profusely but he had a firm look on his face as he was glaring at the birdman.
The series of arrows came with explosive sound. It looked like a long dragon that was heading towards the direction of the birdman. Shen Lian could sense the surging Qi of vitality of the heaven and earth that was attached to the arrows.
When the young man fixed the arrow to the bow, the flame in between his eyebrows was extremely bright, as if there was something burning.
Vividly, it seemed that an outside force was supporting the young adult. The force was solid, cold and at the same time somewhat as ancient as God.
It was neither similar to the mana nor spiritual power.
If to put it in words, it was somewhat similar to the strange force at the Black Water Residence.
Shen Lian did not want to be involved in the fight. Obviously, the birdman and the Dongyi Tribe were mutual enemies.
He had never meddled in other's affairs. Out of curiosity, he decided to stay on and watch.
There were indeed many strange powers in the world and cultivators were just a small part of it. They may be one of the strongest but there were so many others unrecorded or even unknown powers in the world that withstood the test of time.
With the help of the troopers, the young adult was able to accurately pinpoint the birdman. Like a ferocious dragon, he aimed at the birdman.
A brief seesaw battle took place in midair as the young adult did not stop firing his arrow.
He was chanting a series of ancient syllabi and the flame burned brighter. However, Shen Lian noticed something inside the young adult was diminishing.
It was his vitality, or in other words, the innate strength of his was diminishing.
The flame on his eyebrows was stripped off one by one as the young adult fires the arrow at the direction of the birdman.
Shen Lian was shockingly amazed as the temperature of the flame actually melted the void.
He was even slightly fearful of that desire of wanting to destroy everything.
And then, the young adult collapsed to the ground.
