Chapter 131: Chapter 110 The Holy Sect Will Not Let You Go
Translator: 549690339
Since his arrival in this world, Lu Yuan knew what his greatest advantage was.
It wasn’t his formidable palm skills, nor his profound inner strength, but his transcendentally masterful archery.
No matter how skillful the opponent’s martial arts, before my flurry of arrows, all creatures are treated equally, they all become souls ready for departure.
Whether it was a wild beast in the mountain or martial artists from the Jianghu outside the mountain, when faced with his strong bows and hard arrows, they all ended up as prey, awaiting slaughter.
His strategy of hoisting spears at a distance has always worked until now.
Now that he has become a County Captain, leading his troops, he naturally brought his excellent experience to the army.
Luckily, these soldiers in the army were all hunters by background, each one proficient in archery, with some even possessing exceptional skills.
Therefore, they were quite adept at this haphazard arrows strategy, without any discomfort.
Two nights ago.
Under the soldiers’ hail of arrows, those aristocratic martial artists, even if they were third-rate in the Jianghu, all drank a cup of bitterness.
At this moment.
Before his eyes, that man in white, although he was a second-rate master, under dozens of arrows, was made to escape in a frantic and ragged manner, not daring to fight directly.
A second-tier Jianghu master was still a mortal.
He’d bleed if cut by a knife and a sword could pierce a hole in him. If struck by an arrow, he’d become a beehive.
However, a second-tier master was still a master. Within the narrow hall, the elder with white eyes leapt left and right, flipped up and down, his figure as quick as a phantom.
Though the arrows came thick and fast, he could evade them before they got close.
Later on, when used to this rhythm, the soldiers would only just make a move, the bowstrings hadn’t even been fired, and the elder had already made a pre-judgement, flashing early to a safe place.
After several rounds of arrows, the archers’ shooting speed noticeably slowed down.
Drawing a bow was physically demanding, after repeated draws, their arms were sore and swollen.
These archers were all ordinary people, firing six or seven rounds was already their limit.
At this point, after several rounds had passed, their limit was reached, and they could barely hold on anymore.
“What a pity.”
Seeing his gradually weakening subordinates, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
The meeting hall’s space was a bit too small, limiting the display of more archers. Moreover, the complex environment inside provided evasion space for that man in white.
Otherwise, if he could mobilize a hundred archers on an open plain, however formidable the man in white was, he would still turn into a hedgehog.
While he was feeling regretful, another side was rejoicing.
‘Opportunity!’
The elder with white eyes who had been evading arrows all along inside the hall, noticing the archers’ frequency and number of shots significantly reducing, immediately realized that they were reaching their limit.
His eyes brightened. Then he glanced at Lu Yuan surrounded by numerous archers.
‘This young captain must be the leader of these Yue state soldiers, capture him, maybe I can threaten them to retreat. Or possibly he can directly open the doors of Wugang County.’
Thinking this, the elder with white eyes felt a fiery passion in his heart. The shortcut to completing his mission was within sight, and he couldn’t control his thoughts any longer.
He grabbed a wooden table and shielded himself with it, then leapt towards the group of exhausted archers.
His target was directly pointing at Lu Yuan.
Being a second-rate master, he naturally could take on a hundred ordinary people.
Even more so considering these archers were already exhausted.
The elder with white eyes had conviction that he could effortlessly deal with those archers once up close, then capture that Yue captain amidst the troops.
That’s the confidence of a second-tier master.
“Daring. ”
Seeing the figure getting closer rapidly, Lu Yuan knew exactly what the man was thinking, and he immediately sneered.
“Treating me like a pushover. I want to see if you can handle me.”
He scorned in his heart and swiftly strung his bow with an arrow, with a speed as fast as a phantom.
Depending on his instincts and experience, “whoosh whoosh whoosh” he fired a seven arrows in succession.
Furthermore, to enhance the power of his arrows, Lu Yuan even channeled his internal strength and attached it to the bow and the arrows.
How powerful would the arrows shot by a top-tier Jianghu archer with internal strength be?
Lu Yuan hadn’t previously tested this much, so he couldn’t answer this.
But as the arrows shot out like thunder, everything became clear.
Like a white light shadow, in the blink of an eye, seven arrows penetrated the wooden table that the man in white was holding in front of him. The gigantic force blew the table into pieces.
Could the elder behind the table ever expect that the pushover he saw would suddenly become a handful?
The old man’s experience played against him, meeting a won in sheep’s clothing. He was instantly caught off guard.
By the time he perceived the incoming danger and instinctively wanted to escape as he had before, it was already too late.
How formidable was Lu Yuan when he shot with full force?
His arrow speed amounted to reaching the target as soon as it’s released, leaving no time for reaction.
The elder with white eyes only had time to slightly turn his body, then the seven arrows targeting him arrived before his eyes and pierced his body. Then it was followed by a series of “boom boom boom” explosions. The arrows enhanced with inner strength emitted a power and speed comparable to a large caliber bullet in Lu Yuan’s previous life. The moment they entered the elder’s body, the added inner strength on the arrowheads exploded instantly, leaving behind a massive bloody hole. All seven arrows hit, with none missing.
Seven trails of blood blossomed on the elder’s body.
A powerful force pushed him backward. He rolled on the ground twice before crashing into a beam, producing a ‘thud’ sound, and then he finally stopped.
Fresh blood flowed out profusely, the elder trembling. His chest, shoulder, abdomen, arm, even the inside of his thigh, all became bloody and mangled.
Huge agony came from all over his body. The loss of blood rapidly weakened him.
Even more desperate was the fact that in this state, he couldn’t save himself
anymore.
Between the weakness and pain, a blurred figure appeared before him.
Leaning against a pillar, the elder mustered the last bit of his strength to see that the young black-armored general had arrived before him.
Seeing his own murderer, he used the last of his strength to shout: “You obstructed our grand plan, the Holy Sect will not let you go. I’ll wait for you down there.”
With these words, his body stiffened, then plumped down.
In front of the corpse, Lu Yuan watched the white-robed person say his last words and was stunned.
“Holy Sect? Grand Plan?”
Recalling these two words, he took a serious look at the man in white and realized: “He’s from the Five Poisons Sect..”
