I Can Extract Everything

Qin Yi's deduction was correct.

The attacker was none other than Lu Yun.

Right now, he was in a state of confusion and shock.

As Qin Yi's enemy, Lu Yun definitely investigated him.

He knows that this hateful guy is an archer therefore, his artifact must also be related to the archer.

This was why he didn't hesitate to carry out sneak attacks because he knew; once his sword lands on Qin Yi's back, there's no way that guy can block it.

However, he didn't expect that Qin Yi's artifact was actually armor; thanks to that, Lu Yun couldn't inflict the slightest wound on him.

Therefore, he intended to unleash his second attack.

A normal-grade defensive artifact wasn't that strong, and it was generally weaker than the skin of a Rank 1 Magical Beast.

Hence, he was confident that its protective abilities would gradually weaken after a few more attacks, and Qin Yi would fall into a hopeless situation.

But...

He didn't expect that a second artifact would appear in Qin Yi's hands.

Lu Yun wanted to cry, but there were no tears to shed.

He feels annoyed and saddened every time he deals with this guy.

However, he didn't give up here.

If he can't hurt this Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm cultivator here and right now, he swears he is not a human!

This time, he will use a martial skill.

Although it might be a little bit flashy and the movement is big, it was worth it if he could injure his enemy.

However, just as Lu Yun was about to prepare for his next attack, he suddenly saw Qin Yi take a few steps backward until he finally jumped and hid in the bushes.

Lu Yun was puzzled and thought that guy was an idiot.

What's the point of hiding there when he's already seen it?

He didn't think further after witnessing this scene.

No matter how far you run, you won't be able to dodge the attack this time.

Lu Yun made a pose and rotated his sword to form a crescent moon. In the next moment, a moonlight descended and shone on the sword like it was blessing it.

The artifact he was holding was called Moon Slashing Sword; it was a Normal Artifact tempered under the moonlight.

This sword will get a slight buff when it is activated under the moonlight.

The attack he was preparing was called the Moon Crashing Sword Art, a martial skill that could utilize moonlight as the source of that power. Once it was unleashed, it would automatically chase down enemies within the user's reach.

However, when Lu Yun signaled his attack to attack the enemy behind the bushes, his attack remained silent.

He was taken back.

Did he perhaps make a mistake?

Thus, he tried one more time, but the result was still the same.

Lu Yun was confused.

What is it?

Was my attack trying to rebel?

However, in the next second, he thought of something.

He deactivated his sword art and put his sword down. Then, he reactivated the Hidden Night Cape and quietly walked towards the bushes.

He slashed at these bushes with some normal sword attacks. The bushes were cut off as the leaves flew everywhere until they ended up as a mess on the ground.

"As expected, he escaped..."

Lu Yun snorted coldly.

No wonder his attack failed; it turned out to be because the target was no longer visible in the vicinity.

However, the question is; how did he escape?

Lu Yun clearly didn't see Qin Yi escaping from these bushes.

There's no way that guy can hide his movements under his eyes unless that guy has a disguise artifact like him.

Lu Yu sneered as he brushed off that ridiculous idea.

Since when did the disguise artifacts become as common as cabbages?

Moreover, how could that guy have that many artifacts?

That guy is probably scared and hiding somewhere in this garden because Lu Yun could still feel his presence.

Lu Yun was right, Qin Yi was hiding, but he was hiding on top of one of the trees at the corner of this garden while holding his QuickWind Bow.

He escaped from the bushes using the Hidden Night Cape he had just extracted from Lu Yun.

He didn't dare to use his Mystic Talent because there would be an aftereffect every time he used it. If he is nauseous, it would be difficult for him to focus on counterattacking his opponent.

That guy Lu Yun probably assumed that he was scared and was hiding not far from him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to cash a sneak attack on that guy.

Heh, do you think you're the only one who can do sneak attacks?

Qin Yi sneered inwardly.

He took out a silver arrow from the system storage.

These arrows were just ordinary arrows with arrow tips made of silver; he got a lot of them from the arrow storage shed in the archery field.

Qin Yi infused it with 1000 [Impurity], 200 [Pain], 300 [Fatigue], and 150 [Confuse].

He couldn't kill Lu Yun directly due to the sect's rule of not killing fellow disciples, but he still has a way to make him live like the dead.

Don't underestimate impurities.

Impurities can harm a cultivator's body in many ways.

Cultivators usually consume a lot of pills that contain impurities. These impurities would slowly accumulate in their bodies, and it would affect their cultivation progress.

Once the impurities have accumulated too much, there are only three ways that cultivators usually use to clean them.

The first is to temper their body under the pressure of a waterfall. This method is a little rough, but it effectively cleans away most of the impurities accumulated in their bodies.

Apparently, this method is the method most used by cultivators because it is...free.

The second is to use the cultivation of specific techniques. There are some cultivation techniques specialize in washing away impurities accumulated in a cultivator's body.

However, this kind of cultivation technique was generally inaccessible for ordinary cultivators.

The third was to consume a Rank 2 Pill called the Marrow Cleansing Pill. This kind of pill was able to wash away impurities and help one's cultivation progress.

Those three ways could overcome impurity, but it was hard to say what would happen if a cultivator suddenly had consumed a large amount of impurity at once.

This 1000 [Impurity] is equivalant to consume Rank 1 Pill for a whole month.

In addition, Qin Yi also gave some adverse effects to this silver arrow tip arrow.

After that, he started pulling the strings of the bow and aimed it at his target.

This aim wasn't easy since he couldn't see the target's physique.

However, after he experienced himself using the Hidden Night Cape, he realized its shortcomings.

This artifact can only make the user camouflage but cannot make the user disappear completely.

Even though the user will not be seen, the presence is still clearly felt, and every time the user moves, there is always a wind fluctuation around the user.

Moreover, when Qin Yi used the Hidden Night Cape, he also noticed that every time he took a step, he would leave traces of the grass being trampled on.

This is the biggest shortcoming of this artifact.

Without thinking further, he hardened his muscles and immediately observed the place where Lu Yun had been.

At the same time, Qin Yi also pays attention to the most significant wind fluctuations in this garden.

He moves his pupil left and right as he keeps observing his prey like he is a hunter.

Before long, he finally found a presence and a large wind fluctuation in a particular place.

He immediately took a deep breath and pulled his arrow string tightly.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Until five seconds later, Qin Yi's fingers are loose as the strings are suddenly ejected.

Shoosh-

With a slamming sound, the arrow burst out of the air and slammed into the target of the arrow.

Puchi!

Qin Yi was nervous as his eyes were still filled with uncertainty.

However, when he suddenly heard the cry sound of the target from afar, the corner of his mouth curved to form a smile.

He felt that he had just accomplished an extraordinary feat.

"Hmph, that's easy!"

He brushes off his bangs gracefully.

In the next moment, Qin Yi felt that Lu Yun's presence disappeared from the Hundred Flowers Garden.

He felt a little relieved.

Since that guy managed to get away from here, that means he didn't shoot that guy to death.

"At least that guy didn't die here."

Qin Yi said in a low voice.

Not long after, he came out from his hiding place and came to where his arrow had shot Lu Yun.

However, he only saw red blood on the grass. While the arrow probably still hasn't been pulled out of Lu Yun's body.

***

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Lu Yun breathed heavily and arrived inside his Dragon Cave.

And then, he suddenly falls to the floor.

His left shoulder is bleeding as his complexion appeared not very good at this time.

His whole body was drenched with cold sweat, as the pain was also eating away at his entire body.

"Arrg.."

He wanted to take out a Healing Pill from his storage bag, but for some unknown reason, he felt so tired, heavy, and dizzy like he couldn't do anything and could only lie down weakly.

But he knows this situation is not good.

Was he poisoned?

He didn't know that as he didn't want to think about it any further.

His vision gradually blurred.

He wanted to scream for help, but he was too weak and tired to do that.

Let's sleep...

Let's forget the pain...

This pain will go away after I fall asleep...

The longer he felt this, the longer his mind drifted away.

Seconds by second, Lu Yun's eyes began to close.

Before he completely closed his eyes, he managed to catch his clear thoughts.

'Is this truly poison? That guy is so vicious...'

Someone paid him to teach Qin Yi a lesson, and he thought it would be easy since his target was just a newbie with a weak cultivation base.

But who would have thought he would suffer consecutive losses at the hands of his target, which he considered an easy target.

Even now, he also ended up miserable like this thanks to his target's sneak attack.

Lu Yun admitted that he was vicious, but only he knew that his target was actually even more vicious than him.
