Shen Qing''s fingers relaxed abruptly.


    In an instant, the sound of air being torn apart erupted.


    A swift and icy cold glimmer shot through like electricity, darting straight towards the Wolf Demon standing in the woods, tracing a barely visible trajectory through the void.


    The distance of merely four hundred meters was covered in a flash.


    The newly emerged Wolf Demon seemed to sense an immense danger; its fur stood on end, and a wave of human-like emotion flashed through its ghostly green eyes.


    Without any hesitation, it hastily dodged to the side.


    The Bow Technique''s "Every arrow hits the mark" skill activated, making everything feel as if it were predestined.


    Just as the Wolf Demon attempted to dive aside, the arrow, tearing through the air, hit it with perfect precision.


    With a muffled "thud," the sharp arrow struck its wolf body with unfailing accuracy, the powerful inertia tearing through its flesh and piercing through from its abdomen.


    Accompanied by a heartrending howl, the Wolf Demon''s massive body crashed to the ground, and the demon energy surrounding it suddenly became chaotic.


    Like remnants of clouds swept up by a fierce wind, it instantly lost the majesty befitting a Wolf Demon.


    A trace of shock flashed in its eyes, unable to fathom why it was injured by a mere human arrow.


    Previously, human clan''s arrows were like mere tickles to it, unable to cause any substantial harm, let alone the fact that it had attempted to avoid that arrow!


    Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!


    Three arrows whistled down from the sky, sealing off almost all its escape routes.


    Before it had time to stand up and defend itself, the three arrows, as if they had eyes, successively embedded into its fur and flesh.


    They pinned it dead against the ground with almost no room for resistance.


    Blood oozed from the Wolf Demon''s mouth as its wolfish eyes fiercely locked onto Shen Qing standing in the distance with his bow, realizing that everything the Wolf King had told it was utterly different.


    Gradually, this Wolf Demon felt its body growing heavier and heavier... Its bristled fur slowly lay flat until, in just several dozen breaths, it completely lost consciousness and took its last breath.


    Standing at the manor''s entrance, Village Chief Zhou Baoyin and the servants widened their eyes, incredulously watching this scene before focusing their gaze on Shen Qing.


    Their hearts pounded wildly, clearly never having expected Shen Qing to possess such extraordinary means.


    Especially the Village Chief, Zhou Baoyin''s face turned notably grim, even breaking into beads of cold sweat as his heart drummed like thunder.


    To kill a demon with just a few arrows, this was too fast!


    Shen Qing laid down the bow and arrow in his hand, skeptically inquiring: "Is this the Wolf Demon that''s troubled your town for days?"


    He felt that this so-called Wolf Demon was almost no different from the Dog Demon he encountered earlier.


    Too weak!


    Could a place as large as Changqiao Town really not handle such a weak demon?


    Leaving aside the common folk, farmers, and woodcutters, with the Zhou Family''s influence and the court''s resources, he couldn''t believe Zhou Baoyin wouldn''t have practiced Martial Arts or lacked the capacity to slay demons.


    Even if his aptitude was terribly poor and his cultivation inferior, a family as prosperous as his, with many offspring, would surely have some standouts if they had the resources.


    A Little Demon like this should be easily handled.


    Shen Qing discreetly examined Village Chief Zhou Baoyin, noting his vigorous Qi-Blood, clearly indicating some level of training.


    This made him even more baffled and seemed quite incongruous.


    Shen Qing temporarily set aside his confusion and said, "The Wolf Demon has been subdued, I''ll check its body to see if there are any other omissions."


    With that, Shen Qing''s form expanded abruptly, transforming into a streak of light and soaring swiftly toward the forest hundreds of meters away.


    On the way, the treetops swayed. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As he moved, the birds perched on the branches, startled by the disturbance, flapped their wings in a panic and soared into the sky.


    The movement Shen Qing displayed at this moment wasn''t some advanced Martial Art, just a movement technique from hunting skills, instinctively propelling him forward. Yet, this basic movement skill, under the nurturing and activation of Qi Hai Realm''s rich True Qi, manifested astonishing speed and agility.


    Moments later, Shen Qing leaped down from a height, landing close to the Wolf Demon''s corpse, the surrounding leaves quivering violently from his air current.


    Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, intensely staring at the Wolf Demon''s corpse in front of him, his gaze becoming profound and keen.


    Three arrows were deeply embedded under the Wolf Demon''s sturdy fur, and around the arrows, the blood had already clotted into dark stains, but the huge wound in its abdomen was still oozing dark blood.


    Upon closer inspection, aside from being far larger than its peers, this Wolf Demon bore no other differences from ordinary wolves.


    Shen Qing drew the dagger from his waist, slit open the Wolf Demon''s belly, and pried open its stomach.


    Inside, apart from vaguely discernible rabbit remains, there were no human body fragments.


    Shen Qing distinctly remembered Village Chief Zhou Baoyin mentioning that people in their town occasionally disappeared due to this Wolf Demon, implying it should have fed on humans.


    Now it seemed either another Wolf Demon plagued the town, or Zhou Baoyin was lying.


    Slaying this Wolf Demon alone wouldn''t end the town''s troubles.


    Shen Qing raised an eyebrow, extracted the arrows from the ground, and returned them to the Arrow Quiver before lifting the Wolf Demon''s body with one hand and heading back.


    Bang!


    Shen Qing tossed the large Wolf Demon''s body before Village Chief Zhou Baoyin and the others, stirring up a layer of dust.


    Village Chief Zhou Baoyin immediately responded, raising his thumb in fervent praise: "Shen Chasi, what remarkable marksmanship! Never imagined the Wolf Demon troubling us for so long could be vanquished so effortlessly by you!"


    "I will be sure to report this to the county office so that the Prefectural Governor and others are made aware of your benevolence."


    "Since you exerted so much effort, I must offer some token of appreciation."


    With that, he signaled with his eyes.


    The servant behind him understood immediately and brought a tray of Silver Ingots before Shen Qing.


    Village Chief Zhou Baoyin cupped his hands and said, "The demon issue here is resolved. This small token is nothing grand, but I hope Shen Chasi won''t refuse."


    Shen Qing stepped forward, took a Silver Ingot, and weighed it in his hand: "The Village Chief is indeed generous. Pack it up for me."


    "Certainly," Zhou Baoyin turned and rebuked his servant: "Shen Chasi has spoken, hurry up, will you?!"


    The servant quickly nodded with a bow and rushed off to handle it.


    "Now that this matter is concluded here, Shen Chasi, do you think..."


    "Why the rush?" Shen Qing glanced at Zhou Baoyin and said, "Weren''t you just preparing a banquet table? Leaving it untouched is wasteful; I might as well go over there. Meanwhile, I can wait for my subordinates."


    Zhou Baoyin''s complexion changed slightly, quickly smiling apologetically: "It was presumptuous of me. Shen Chasi, please come this way."


    Shen Qing stepped over the manor''s threshold and walked into the estate.


    After only a few steps, he suddenly recalled something and instructed Zhou Baoyin''s servant: "Oh, and remember to skin the Wolf. It''s quite valuable in town; I need to take it back."
