Chapter 333: Chapter 136: Wind-Thunder Arrow and Chasing Soul Arrow! When the Arrow Flies, Stars Fall!_2
The furious roar arose, it was Ding Qiu, having consumed the ‘Bursting Blood Pill,’ the drug’s efficacy reached its zenith, growing increasingly fierce. With skin blue-black and muscles bulging as if they were about to burst, his formidable presence was intimidating. A pair of hands, with their frigid energy rampaging about, attacked consecutively!
“It’s the Chasing Soul Arrow! That bastard is actually here?”
While dealing with Ding Qiu’s fierce onslaught, Hong Zhenxiang was also surprised and infuriated in his heart.
The Chasing Soul Arrow, having once covered for Chai Zheng by shooting from afar with arrows, forced Hong Zhenxiang to deal with him first. But this person was extremely slippery, fleeing a thousand miles at the first sign of trouble without the slightest hesitation.
If not for Su Changkong’s intervention at that time, Chai Zheng might have escaped.
And now, the Chasing Soul Arrow was here, striking from afar with his signature unparalleled technique, the Chasing Soul Arrow.
The Chasing Soul Arrow was very smart, knowing that his arrows could hardly pose a threat to Hong Zhenxiang, so he aimed at the other Dafeng Iron Cavalry experts. These experts were all formidable, mostly at the Qi-Blood Long Dragon level, but were very vulnerable to his Chasing Soul Arrow, only able to passively endure. How many arrows could they withstand?
An archer with astonishing skills posed too great a threat in such a massive battle.
“I need to finish off this Ding Qiu quickly!”
Hong Zhenxiang immediately felt grave in his heart.
“Buy time for Xiao Bili!”
Ding Qiu was no fool either, he immediately changed tactics, no longer opting for brute force clashes with Hong Zhenxiang, but instead displayed evasive maneuvers, entangling in battle to delay Hong Zhenxiang, allowing the lurking ‘Chasing Soul Arrow’ Xiao Bili to shoot down others!
After dealing with the others, the thousands present at the scene would surround and attack Hong Zhenxiang. Even with his divine might, he would fall!
“Whoosh!”
Just then, a faint sound of a sonic boom filled the air. A silver arrow tore through the sky, bursting forth with a glint of cold stars, like a meteor slicing through the air, exceeding several times the speed of sound, yet the sound was minimal, nearly non-existent. By the time one’s ears registered the sound, the arrow had already hit its target.
“Crack!”
Amidst the sound of bursting, five to six hundred meters away, atop the crown of a large tree, a cold man clad in black, as if merging with the darkness, leaped away in a flash. The next second, the very spot on the treetop where he had stood was pierced by an arrow, the dense branches torn apart and broken, continuing its force, vanishing into the darkness.
That cold man in black was naturally the ‘Chasing Soul Arrow’ Xiao Bili. He felt both shocked and angry at the moment, looking towards the rebel camp several hundred meters away, “Are there archery experts among these people?”
Xiao Bili saw a man clad in silver armor, whose face was indistinct, wielding a dark silver great bow, standing at the edge of the rebel camp. That arrow just now came from him.
“Playing archery in front of me? Die!”
Xiao Bili’s face turned cold with pride in his own archery skills; how could he tolerate someone else’s provocation?
“Chasing Soul Arrow. Breathless Pursuit!”
Xiao Bili immediately drew his bow and notched arrows. He held a jet-black great bow, its string also black, firing arrows in quick succession. Though his feet did not move, the three arrows as if alive, traced arcs in the air, converging from three different directions towards Su Changkong, locking onto his aura like relentless ghosts.
“Such superb archery skills! While not as powerful as mine, the variability is indeed ingeniously refined!”
That man in silver armor was, of course, Su Changkong. Seeing the ‘Chasing Soul Arrow’ make his move again, he didn’t stand idly by. After firing an arrow to intimidate Xiao Bili, witnessing his opponent’s exquisite archery made Su Changkong eagerly excited.
Half a year ago, Xiao Bili had stealthily shot arrows, alerting Su Changkong to his archery skills, which were not inferior to his own. He too wanted to have a contest, and now the opportunity had finally come.
“Wind Thunder Linked Beads!”
Faced with three spiral arrows coming from different directions, Su Changkong was cautious. In his left hand, he held a strong bow made primarily of Star Pattern Gold. Right hand nimbly drew arrows from the quiver on his back, notching them to the string, rapidly pulling the bowstring, three arrows converging the power of wind and thunder to meet those three arrows.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Above the rebel camp, three thunderous booms resonated, and six arrows collided, sparking dazzling fire in the air.
The three arrows with spiral heads all snapped and fell to the ground.
Arrow met arrow!
“It’s Qin Wufeng from Sunset Fortress! His archery skills are this exquisite?”
The other Dafeng Iron Cavalry experts, who were battling while vigilantly guarding against cold arrows, were both surprised and delighted, witnessing the man in silver armor counter Xiao Bili’s deadly arrows.
According to their knowledge, this ‘Qin Wufeng’ was a new expert who, according to Hong Zhenxiang, had come from Sunset Fortress. But they did not know the extent of his prowess. Now they had seen his archery skills, which seemed to be no less than Xiao Bili, the ‘Chasing Soul Arrow’!
“Hm? Younger Brother Su’s archery skills are this exquisite? Could it be… the Chen family’s Brothers were disposed of by him?”
Hong Zhenxiang was the most startled of all.
He knew that Su Changkong was exceptionally strong, having slain experts like Mu Jin and Chai Zheng, but in his recollection, Su Changkong’s forte was supposed to be his Blade Technique.
Yet now, Su Changkong displayed archery skills that were unlikely to be rivaled by a second person in the entire Dafeng Iron Cavalry!
And Hong Zhenxiang also remembered a sensational event that had rocked Dafeng State City.
Two Chiliarchs of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry were shot dead by a mysterious expert during a celebration feast. That mysterious expert was skilled in archery, but his true identity remained undetermined, and the matter was ultimately left unresolved.
