Chapter 166: The Shocking Arrow
The target range of the earth fort is not large, only a small fortress with three thousand people, and it does not need too much space.
The Wind General stood two hundred steps away from the target, pulled out a blade of grass from the ground and inserted it above the target, saying: "I don't know about Qixing's strength, but a distance of two hundred steps is probably your limit to get close to him. If you take another step forward, you will easily be discovered by him at the moment you lock onto him.
"If we can get rid of this weed, maybe there's still a chance."
He gazed at Qian Jin with a puzzled expression, as the young master of the Huo family, he naturally had to be proficient in archery, but being able to clearly see a blade of grass 200 steps away that was only as long as a finger was not an easy task, and wanting to shoot it down was even more difficult.
Qianjin glanced at the target of Feng Jiangjun's arrow, narrowed his eyes and looked around, but did not draw his bow to shoot. Instead, under the puzzled gaze of the crowd, he walked directly towards the target of Feng Jiangjun's arrow.
Yumeki whispered to Senaka beside him, "Isn't it too far? Is he not confident? Does he want to try from a closer spot first?" The two Senakas thought for a moment and nodded in deep agreement.
The dry footsteps didn't stop until they reached General Feng's side, where he bent down and pulled out four more stalks of green grass from the ground, inserting them into the top of four other arrow targets. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked back.
"What does this mean?" Yumino's eyes widened more than usual: "Does he know what he is doing?
His eyes gleamed with curiosity as he gazed at the powerful Demon Slayer's imposing figure, whose terrifying understanding of the map seemed to be matched only by his incredible marksmanship. Could it be that his archery skills were also exceptionally refined? Even among the skilled archers of the Ye family who had not awakened their divine bloodline, there were hardly any who could accomplish what he was attempting now. Was it really possible for him to hit his target?
Duan Feng's face remained smiling, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking like he was enjoying the show.
He walked back to the starting point with a strong and swift pace, his body's 108 acupoints rapidly rotating, the Demon Slayer's power instantly bursting out. His legs suddenly split apart, and he quickly twisted his body to look at the distant target. The metal bowstring had already been pulled into a full moon shape, emitting a "zzi" sound. The arrow on the string made a "peng" sound, and in the air, it emitted a sharp piercing sound.
Boom, boom, boom, boom... Four consecutive rapid bowstring vibrations, followed by four arrows flying out without making a sharp whistling sound. They were like silent spirits, tearing through the clear sky and almost simultaneously hitting the green grass on the target.
A robust and powerful self-rotation, forming a spiral-like air pressure, instantly shattered the shot grass into powder. The arrowhead and arrow body were deeply embedded in the earth wall behind the target. "Straight Feathered Arrow! Bang! Bang! Bangbangbang!"
Five arrows pierced deeply into the earth wall, stirring up countless mud and dust, which floated gently in the air.
The General of the Wind couldn't care less about the dust's pungent smell, staring blankly at the arrowhead that had vanished into the green grass, and the arrow feathers that had sunk into the wall!
"This archery...!" General Feng's throat moved up and down, his pupils shrinking to the size of a needle tip, secretly shocked by this terrifying archery. If the hidden assassin who had tried to kill him back then had possessed such swordsmanship... No! Just having seventy percent of this archery would have been enough for him to return to the stars already.
Three thousand households were completely stunned, in just ten short days, this young warrior brought everyone a great shock, was he here to experience the magic tribe? Or was he just trying to scare others for fun?
The Burning Path's Crazy Song has ended, and such archery skills are far beyond his own. He thought he had already considered himself to be unable to estimate the true strength of Qian Jing, but unexpectedly, even if he raised his estimation by a large margin, he still underestimated his strength.
Demon-slaying warrior, map analysis, and archery skills? The Burning Road's Crazy Song is starting to suspect that Qianjin has been practicing various warrior skills since he was still in his mother's womb.
The General's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, and Qian Jin had his back to the arrow quiver before turning around, nocking an arrow, drawing his bow, and releasing it in one smooth motion! If he had wanted to kill himself just now, he would probably have five more holes in him... Such marksmanship... Maybe... maybe this task can really be completed! I really want to know what the Dark Department is looking for! I really want to see what the head of the Dark Department's Seven Stars looks like!
The quiet archery range, the bowstring still hasn't stopped vibrating, emitting a buzzing sound, as if it's showing off its power to everyone.
Qian Jin looked at the bowstring in his hand, smoothing out the vibrating sound of the string. The muscles on his chest rose and fell slightly as he gazed at the five arrows that had pierced the wall in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh that it was too late for him to have honed his archery skills in the Four Seasons Valley. Even now, he could only manage a five-shot burst, which might be an impressive technique in the eyes of many archers.
Compared to the others, it's far inferior! According to the description in "The Divine Shot", the power of May Rain Assault is like a sudden rainstorm when activated, and if it reaches the level of July Torrential Rains, the bowstring and arrows are enough to make people look up at the sky to see if it's really raining. A quiver of arrows can be emptied in an instant, with each arrow's power being frightening.
As for its power, the introduction on "Shen She" is simple: only those who have used it will know how astonishing its power is.
"It seems that I really need to practice my archery skills. Dry Qiang secretly made up his mind, and when he entered the endless world again, he must forge a strong bow, make a bunch of arrows, and when he had the opportunity to enter Xishan to find items, he would definitely practice his archery skills well."
Duan Feng's applause broke the dead silence of the archery field, and Lian Tu sang a wild song while applauding and secretly congratulating himself on his previous actions that were almost like worshiping a master. "Just this one move with the bow is enough to make many old veterans of the sandy arena feel chilled."
Three thousand households walked towards the direction of the arrow target, stretching out their hands to gently stroke the five strong arrows nailed into the wall, expressing endless admiration and praise.
Facing the five arrows flying in unison, each hitting their mark and piercing through solid walls, General Feng couldn't utter any words of dissent. Just how strong was this mysterious warrior from the Dark Department's Seven Stars? This might require a trip to the military department to review some files and investigate further.
But the power of these five arrows! General Feng was very clear that they were extremely lethal! The last four arrows, in particular, had reached the point where the arrow flew out silently and without warning, and even if he had five lives, he would have already returned them all to the stars.
"Maybe there's a chance." General Feng sighed: "This task was originally assigned to me by the higher-ups. To put it bluntly, someone upstairs wants to harm me. As long as I, as the general of the earth fortress, infiltrate the demon tribe's territory, if something happens on the border line, I will definitely be dismissed and investigated."
His face, which was slightly rough, showed a hint of helplessness. No wonder Grandfather always said that internal turmoil is more frightening than external threats. If even a small stronghold like this can be so chaotic, what would happen if it were to occur in a larger place? For now, perhaps only the Emperor himself or the emergence of an ultimate Bloodline Warrior could temporarily resolve such matters.
"This time, I originally wanted to find three thousand households to study and see if they can try to rescue the target that Anbu is looking for, and test their luck." General Feng did not hide his thoughts at all:
It just so happens that the three of you young disciples, who won't appear here together for another ten years, have all arrived at the same time. "I'd also like to give it a try." Qian Jin stroked his bow: "The brains of the Dark Department's Seven Stars will increase their chances of competing for the position of City Master in the future, right?"
The Wind General looked at Qian Jin with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, wondering how someone so young could hold such an important position as the city lord. He didn't know whether to say that he was confident or that he didn't understand the weight of his responsibilities.
In the Zheng Ce Empire, a city master is also a high-ranking official who governs a region. Becoming a city master is not an easy task, as it requires not only the empire's approval and issuance of an imperial edict but also many other means to secure one's position. Moreover, one must gain the support of both internal and external forces surrounding the city.
"It's true that if you really get the Dark Seven Stars, when competing with others for the City Master's throne, your chances of winning will increase greatly."
General Feng laughed heartily and said, "Actually, as long as you can rescue the target that the secret service is searching for, this merit will be equally great. Although my official position is not high, I have not fallen to the point of doing such despicable things like competing with younger generations for merits! The merit belongs to whoever achieves it!"
Qianjin secretly admired Feng Jiangjun's straightforwardness, after all, the military base was his turf. Regardless of how well the mission went, it would be the military base's person in charge writing the report to the Ministry of War, not a small-time student from Auckland Magic and Warrior Academy. His own concerns were merely about being robbed of credit.
The more books you read, the more you will naturally know. When benefits reach a certain level, there are fewer people who can resist them.
Qianjin didn't agree with the words recorded in this book, but he also knew that they made sense to some extent. At least, his relationship with the Wind General in front of him hadn't reached the point where they could entrust their lives to each other, so everything still needed to be negotiated.
"But the position of city lord..." General Feng sneered several times: "It's not enough to just rely on one military achievement... If you have a first-class high school background, and then join the army and make great achievements in battle, plus your own strength, as well as building a network of relationships, becoming a city lord will become more realistic." PA: Allow me to let out a loud roar! Ahhhhhhhh! Ten updates! Ten updates! Do I need to say anything else?
