Chapter 118: Chapter 0118 Slightly Famous
Swoosh!
The heavy javelin turned into a dark, cold shadow, accompanied by a muffled cry of alarm as it thrust towards a nearby Flying Bird Knight.
“Not good!”
A sense of lethal coldness suddenly arose in that Flying Bird Knight as the heavy gust from the javelin left his blood frozen.
The power and speed of this javelin were truly terrifying!
At a distance of over a dozen yards, even a mid-stage Organ Refining cultivator among the Flying Bird Knights couldn’t dodge in time.
...
Unexpectedly,
Swoosh!
The heavy javelin grazed past the rider’s clothes, missing him by a hair’s breadth.
“Huh?”
Chen Yu was taken aback.
Clearly, this was his first time using a javelin; while he had plenty of strength and speed, his aim was lacking.
But then, a dramatic scene unfolded.
“Ah—”
A scream came from behind the narrowly escaped Flying Bird Knight.
Splurch!
The terrifyingly powerful javelin pierced through another, more distant Flying Bird Knight, along with his mount, in a splash of blood.
The pitiful shriek and the grisly death of that Flying Bird Knight sent chills down the spines of the other riders near the Bone Demon Palace.
“Nice shot!”
“Good strength in that throw!”
Even the purple-faced middle-aged man at the Qi Transformation Realm from the city defense couldn’t help but praise.
“Haha, just luck.”
Chen Yu was somewhat embarrassed; that javelin throw which killed the enemy was pure chance, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead rat.
“This kid always manages to stand out wherever he goes.”
From a corner of Lu Yun City, Yi Yunfei dressed in white, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
“Someone, give him some more javelins.”
The purple-faced middle-aged City Defense Captain ordered.
Soon,
Two Body Refining Stage logistics members carried over twenty javelins and placed them beside Chen Yu.
“Hmm.”
Chen Yu nodded, his peripheral vision stealing glances at the throwing expressions and movements of several burly men nearby.
These javelin throwers were all “strongmen” from the Three Sects.
“Go!”
Chen Yu exerted his strength and hurled another javelin.
Swoosh!
A dark, cold shadow screamed through the heavy gust, its remarkable power and speed piercing through the night sky.
Such momentum made the nearby throwers feel ashamed.
However,
The next two or three javelins from Chen Yu missed their mark, but they still managed to frighten one or two Flying Bird Knights.
Chen Yu was not discouraged, and the other throwers didn’t mock him.
This was because the hit rate for javelin throws was inherently lower than that of ordinary bows and crossbows.
That was one reason.
Secondly, the night environment reduced visibility, and the targets were fast-moving Flying Birds.
Speaking hypothetically,
Even if one could hit accurately, the targets were Organ Refining experts who might block your attack with a treasured instrument.
Therefore,
The main task of these javelin throwers was to restrain and suppress aerial targets.
Killing the enemy usually relied on luck.
Swoosh swoosh!
Chen Yu occasionally hurled a javelin or two, maintaining strength and speed while gradually improving accuracy.
A normal person obviously wouldn’t progress this fast.
But Chen Yu’s body technique talent in his area of expertise was nothing short of monstrous.
Finally, on his sixth javelin throw,
Swoosh!
An arc-shaped javelin shadow cut through the night sky and viciously struck a Flying Bird Knight.
“Aagh!”
The knight was pierced through the shoulder, and the horrific power of the javelin even penetrated the wings of the bird beneath him.
Thud!
Falling from over a hundred yards in the sky, both the member of the Bone Demon Palace and the bird smashed into a meat patty.
Hiss!
Both friend and foe drew a sharp breath.
Especially a few nearby javelin throwers, who looked at Chen Yu with eyes full of inhuman awe.
Other throwers might have decent hit rates, but none possessed such terrifying lethal power.

In one night,
Chen Yu had killed two Flying Bird Knights with the javelin, an exceptionally dazzling deed for a newcomer to the battlefield.
In the days that followed,
Chen Yu began a life of slaughter at the forefront of the battlefield in Lu Yun City.
1. Survive!
2. Hone the Cloud Evil Fist.
3. Practice throwing the javelin as a ranged technique.
Day after day of tedium.
…
In the blink of an eye,
Half a month had passed.
This night,
Chen Yu stood on the city wall, a heavy sword on his back and several javelins at his side, his eyebrows exuding a sharp and stern killing intent.
Cloud Evil Fist!
Chen Yu threw a punch, a domineering Killing Aura Fist Shadow taking form of a large python, its sinister green and black patterns surging, over a yard long, echoing out over two yards through the air.
“Aaah…”
That punch killed five or six death soldiers of the Bone Demon Palace on the ground.
Compared to his initial time on the battlefield, Chen Yu’s fist technique became more overbearing and unyielding, marked by an even denser Evil Qi.
Chen Yu felt that the life-and-death killing of the past half month had propelled his Cloud Evil Fist Technique to greater heights than several months of arduous cultivation could have.
Through such slaughter, the essence of the Cloud Evil Fist Technique gradually touched the pinnacle of its realm.
The latent potential within his body, the Evil Qi hidden within his flesh and bones, was increasingly stimulated, enhancing his inner breath.
Suddenly,
Chen Yu spotted several shadows of flying creatures rapidly circling overhead.
“Go!”
With a piercing gaze, Chen Yu drew a javelin from behind him, leaned back slightly, and with his arms extended like a bow, hurled it with all his might.
“Get out of the way!”
“Be careful! It’s ‘Javelin Demon Hunter’ Chen Yu!”
Some Flying Bird Knights couldn’t help but exclaim, warning some of their newer comrades.
Swish!
The javelin’s screeching arc cut through the night sky like a cold and swift thunder.
“Ah!”
A scream echoed from the night sky above.
A young man and the flying creature beneath him plummeted from the sky, smashing into the ground as a mangled heap.
Hmph!
Chen Yu sneered, looking toward the now empty expanse of night sky.
“Is that the ‘Javelin Demon Hunter’? One of the ten most troublesome individuals under the Qi Transformation Realm among the Three Sects Camp?”
“Yes, it’s him! Be extremely wary!”
“This man is the nemesis of us Flying Bird Knights. Once hit by his thrown javelin, it’s almost a certain kill for the enemy.”
The nearby Flying Bird Knights from the Bone Demon Palace wore an expression of dread.
Over the past half month,
Chen Yu’s javelin-throwing skills had reached first-class levels, supported by his innate talent in body techniques.
But the most terrifying aspect was his fearsome strength; his thrown javelins could not be stopped by most creatures in the Organ Refining Stage, nor by flying creatures.
Unbeknownst to him,
Chen Yu’s reputation on the battlefield of the Bone Demon Palace had begun to rise, earning him the moniker “Javelin Demon Hunter” and placing him among the top ten most troublesome figures.
On the battlefield of the Bone Demon Palace,
the high-tier encounters, such as those in the Qi Transformation Realm, remained in a relatively balanced state.
The “Ten Troublesome Individuals” were those under the Qi Transformation Realm of the Three Sects’ side who most vexed the Bone Demon Palace.
Among them,
three new disciples from Yunyue Sect made the list—Chen Yu, Duan Xiaolong, and Chang Xuan.
Chen Yu was troublesome because of his javelin.
Duan Xiaolong, on the other hand, was known for his Thunder Blade’s dominance over the wicked Cultivation Techniques of the Bone Demon Palace’s camp, and his sword technique’s evolving profoundness.
Furthermore,
Iron Sword Sect’s Lv Santong, Fei Letian, Li Bingyue from Water Moon Sect, and others were also included in the list. Additionally, there were some older members.
“Chen Yu, with you guarding the battlements these past half a month, the pressure on our defenses has been greatly relieved.”
The middle-aged man with a purple face and in the Qi Transformation Realm said with a smile.
“About those military exploits…”
Chen Yu muttered.
“Rest assured. You’ve killed over a dozen of the Bone Demon Palace’s Flying Bird Knights, and for each kill, the military merit earned is in the tens of thousands.”
The purple-faced man replied with a smile.
The Three Sects, to encourage slaying the enemy, had established a system of military merit.
With earned merits, one could exchange for various resources, be it precious artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, Spirit Ginseng, Elixirs, and more.
There was even a dedicated team to roughly tally these merits.
Like Chen Yu’s killing of flying mounts, being a focal point, meant that his military merits would surely not go unnoticed.
Ten miles across from Lu Yun City,
a dense black-gray mist drifted, veiling some tents and buildings.
Inside one of the spacious and luxurious rooms,
“Qi’er! Are you certain that the thief who poisoned and incapacitated your arm was on that battlefield’s watchtower?”
A middle-aged man with purple hair and golden armor, his face as grim as water, asked.
Beside him sat a one-armed purple-haired youth, his face painted with traces of bitterness and murderous intent.
Had Chen Yu been there, he would have recognized him.
This purple-haired youth was the secret disciple they had fought at Beishan Spirit Garden.
The difference now was,
that this Shangguan Qi had lost an arm, and the arrogance on his face had been replaced by even more sinister energy.
“He could turn to ash, and I would still recognize him! I saw him on the battlements a few days ago while overseeing the siege; he seemed quite esteemed, being called ‘Javelin Demon Hunter’…”
Shangguan Qi spoke through clenched teeth, filled with hatred.
Looking closely, Shangguan Qi bore a four- or five-point resemblance to the purple-haired golden-armored middle-aged man beside him.
“Hmph! ‘Javelin Demon Hunter’.” The golden-armored middle-aged man sneered, “Were it not for our mutual restraint at the Qi Transformation Innate level, that ant would be extinguished with a flick of a finger.”
“Father, you must avenge me.”
Shangguan Qi said, seething with rage.
“When I’m on the battlefield, I’m a well-known Qi Transformation Innate. The moment I appear, I will be targeted to death by the Three Sects, which makes it inconvenient to take action.”
The golden-armored middle-aged man fell into contemplation.
On the battlefield, the Qi Transformation Innate were among the high-end force, including the top tier Guiyuan Realm. There was a delicate balance maintained between the Three Sects and the Bone Demon Palace.
“However, I can dispatch those under the Postnatal Qi Transformation to deal with him. That fellow, called ‘Javelin Demon Hunter,’ poses quite a threat; it would be a justified move.”
The golden-armored middle-aged man soon smirked.
“That’s excellent!”
Shangguan Qi’s face lit up with fervent glee.
If a Qi Transformation powerhouse acted, there was no reason for that boy to survive.
“Guardian Shangguan! The Palace Master has important matters to discuss.”
At that moment, a man in a black robe knelt outside the room, speaking respectfully.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.”
The golden-armored middle-aged man, known as Guardian Shangguan, stepped out of the room.
He looked up subconsciously and noticed the silver moon overhead, which was taking on an increasingly thick shade of blood, the area around it starting to ripple with eerie blood-colored waves.
Meanwhile,
inside a large tent in the Bone Demon Palace camp,
an elder dressed in a dark gold robe, holding a scepter, stood shoulder to shoulder with an attractively malevolent young man in a blood-red robe.
Both were gazing up at the blood-stained moon in the night sky.
“Are you sure the rumored event will transpire? For its sake, the Bone Demon Palace has been willing to stalemate the Three Sects for two to three months with bones piling up like mountains and blood flowing like rivers. Under normal circumstances, we would have broken into the Three Sects’ rear lines and exterminated at least one of them by now.”
The gaunt-faced old man stated indifferently.
“Master Fu, rest assured! Given the current blood moon phenomenon, I can guarantee that it will appear, and it’s drawing ever closer. I have been researching this secret for a hundred years.”
The handsome, confident, and sinisterly smiling young man in the blood-red robe assured.
