Chapter 19: The Evil Demon's Right Leg (Part 2)
Nearly ten thousand people marched into the Starry Forest Avenue, and due to the heavy infantry dragging their speed, they would take at least twenty days or more to reach the border.
Because he was a personal soldier of Shangguan Fei'er, Zhou Weiqing also received a warhorse and followed her. He naturally knew how to ride a horse, although not proficiently, but at least he wouldn't fall off. This guy had now upgraded his equipment, no longer wearing just a small squad leader-level leather armor, the bow on his body was no longer an ordinary longbow.
In the morning before departure, Xiao Ruose had her soldiers bring a brand new Purple Star Bow and four quivers of special arrows. She knew that Zhou Weiqing's strength was great, so this Purple Star Bow was even better than the one owned by Shangguan Xue'er, made from the heartwood of a 500-year-old ancient star tree, with an extremely tough bow body, its pulling force almost double that of an ordinary Purple Star Bow. The bowstring was made from high-quality magic tendon wrapped around it, and the arrow shafts were also made from star wood over 500 years old, while the arrowheads were made of titanium alloy. The total value of these four quivers containing 200 arrows exceeded that of the Purple Star Bow itself.
Only one quiver of feathered arrows was hung on Zhou Weiqing's waist, the rest were all hung on the horseback. The archer cavalry formation existed in the Heavenly Bow Empire, but there was only one battalion, which was also the trump card battalion. The greatest advantages of the archer cavalry were two: one was relying on the speed of the fine horses, and the other was the large number of feathered arrows carried with them. Ordinary archers who could carry a hundred arrows were already skilled in shooting and had excellent physical strength. Archer cavalry who carried less than two hundred arrows would be despised by others. With the horse to bear the load, that little weight was naturally nothing.
Xuē Guān Bīng'ér wore a suit of silver armor, with a white cloak flowing behind her, looking elegant and refreshing. She rode at the front of the army, with Zhōu Wěiqīng slightly lagging half a position behind. Unbeknownst to them, three miles ahead were two vanguard squads responsible for clearing the path, building bridges over water, ensuring the smooth progress of the main force.
"Ice, I want to go down and take a walk. My right leg is still twisted, I'll go adapt." Zhou Weiqing said in a low voice that only he and Shangguan Ice could hear.
"En, you go ahead and follow the army." Shangguan Fei'er nodded and said. Since Zhou Weiqing put on a serious face in front of her, her attitude towards him had also changed somewhat, especially after he hugged her that day, Shangguan Fei'er didn't dare to look into Zhou Weiqing's eyes again. She was very conflicted, fearing that Zhou Weiqing would suddenly fall ill again, but at the same time, she secretly looked forward to another hug like that day.
Zhou Weiqing floated down from his horse, revealing a trademark silly grin to Xue Bing, before his right foot tapped the ground and his body shot into the nearby forest like an arrow.
His sudden appearance was still very cool, especially with an incredible speed that was completely reliant on his physical strength. Unfortunately, after entering the forest, Zou Wei Qing discovered that he had still underestimated his speed.
Bang! His body made intimate contact with a large tree. Fortunately, he blocked it in time with his arm, so it wasn't too miserable.
"My day!" Zhou Weiqing slid down from the tree, feeling extremely depressed. He lifted one foot and kicked it towards the Starlight Tree in front of him, which was as thick as two people embracing.
A loud "Boom" sound, originally still sulking Zhou Weiqing's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth opened wide enough to fit two eggs.
That star tree that needed two people to hug was kicked by him, and it instantly flew out horizontally, then crashed into a large tree next to it before crashing to the ground with a rustling sound.
"I'm dizzy!" Zhou Weiqing looked down at his right leg, which had kicked the tree earlier. His right leg felt nothing unusual, as if everything was normal. But that was a Star Tree! A Star Tree that required four people to work together for an entire day using high-quality steel saws just to cut it in half. Yet, he had kicked it with one foot and broken it.
At that moment, the frustration brought about by the uneven strength in his legs was swept away. Zhou Weiqing quickly took off his pants and looked at his right leg.
At first glance, there is no difference between the right leg and the left leg. How can the strength be so great? Moreover, kicking against the rough tree trunk doesn't even feel half painful.
As soon as the mind moves, the heavenly power in the dantian rotates and sinks down, pouring into both legs. With this infusion of heavenly power, differences between the two legs appear.
Under the injection of Tianli, his legs clearly felt more powerful, but there was no change on the surface of his left leg. However, the tiger skin pattern that would only appear when the energy inside his body changed had quietly emerged on the surface of his right leg, spreading all over it. A faint black and gray aura wafted around, and his right leg naturally lifted up a few inches by itself. Zhou Weiqing noticed that his right foot had turned as black as ink at this moment, with a hook-like shape on the sole, giving him the feeling that his right leg had transformed into an extremely powerful whip.
He stepped forward with his left foot, and came to the front of an even larger Star Tree. His right leg flashed out in a lightning-fast sweep, its speed so fast that it brought up a string of afterimages in the air.
This time, the sound of the leg touching the tree changed from "bang" to "pu". The star tree in front flew out again, but the broken end became extremely smooth, as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade in an instant.
What shocked Zhou Weiqing even more was yet to come. The tree trunk that had been kicked flying in the air, all its leaves suddenly turned yellow and withered rapidly. The trunk itself emitted a faint grey mist, almost instantly withering when it hit the ground, shattering into powder.
"This, this is too powerful...” Zhou Weiqing looked at his own right leg, then at the completely shattered Starlight Tree, and muttered: "Ice said that those special Heavenly Jewel Masters have some kind of demonic transformation that can cause them to lose their minds. I didn't get the demonic transformation, but I got this demonic right leg instead. If this power were to sweep across people, would there be any good outcome?"
Moreover, Zhou Weiqing discovered that after infusing his Heavenly Energy into this kick, the consumption of Heavenly Energy within his body was not great. Suddenly, he had a thought and recalled the black tiger he had sensed multiple times in his illusions.
The black tiger left him with a deep impression in three places, one was its pair of eerie blood pupils, then the huge double wings on its back, and finally, it was the high-raised tail with a hook like a scorpion's tail.
My right foot will completely turn black, and my right leg will have an active upward feeling. Isn't it similar to the scorpion tail of that black tiger? Is it possible that my right leg has evolved for this reason?
Now, he had completely confirmed that the black bead was indeed something like the Hei Hu Nei Dan in his illusion, and what he absorbed was the power of this unknown but extremely powerful black tiger.
