Chapter 91: The Burst

Five arrows shot out at the same time, and terrifying shrieks filled the whole valley.

At the same time when everyone heard the piercing shrieks, the five arrows had already cut across almost half the distance.

Fang Xingjian’s pupils slightly contracted, his High Agility Motion Vision activating at full power, and his ears trembling slightly, taking in all the tremor waves in the air and confirming the arrows’ location and speed.

The next moment, five arrows slashed through the air in a beautiful arch, arriving before Fang Xingjian, as if they would pierce through him in the next instance and pin him to the ground.

But just then, Fang Xingjian’s right hand moved. Everyone could only see his right hand disappearing then appearing again, gently tossing the shattered longsword in his hand onto the ground, but no one had been able to see what he did with his right hand from beginning to end.

At the same time, five rays of sword light flashed across in the air, just like five streaks of lightning slashing through space, making the white sword Qis of compressed air soar into the skies, only dissipating after rising tens of meters into the air.

And the five arrows Renault shot out were turned into powder. No one could tell whether Fang Xingjian had crushed them with his sword or with his sword Qis.

At that moment, Renault was still descending. The whole process had happened too quickly. So fast that most of the people had not managed to react to what had happened.

Without sparing a look for the powdered arrows, Fang Xingjian’s gaze seemed to cut through layers of space, aligning directly with Renault’s.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corners of Fang Xingjian’s lips. The Knight attire he was wearing tightened up, and no one knew when, but another longsword had appeared in his hand. The longsword swept across, making the air currents tremble, and sending plants and trees flying, as tens of sword Qis encompassed his body.

With a loud bang, the basket on Fang Xingjian’s back shattered, fifty metal swords soaring into the sky like swimming dragons, each of them encompassed by a stream of sword Qi that burst forth together with Fang Xingjian, making it seem as if he was riding the wind and his swords.

With the activation of the Supreme Mistwind Sword, the control his swords and Qis had over each other had been set into motion. His Single Sword World Subjugation specialty had always been activated ever since he had first held the sword.

Stepping forward, he appeared hundreds of meters away in but a flash.

Renault’s expression turned grim, and as he landed, he said, “Be careful, he has dashed over alone.” Shooting the five arrows from such a distance, he knew that with Fang Xingjian’s abilities, he would definitely be able to fend them off. However, Renault would never have thought that Fang Xingjian would be able to break through them so easily, so casually.

It was then that Renault suddenly realized that he had underestimated Fang Xingjian’s abilities. When the other party had been up against Class 253 the day before, it was likely that he had not brought out his full powers.

But as he stroked the Sacred Bow in his hands, his confidence soared yet again.

‘It’s alright. As long as I can shoot him down before he comes to me, it’ll be fine.’

A confident smile appeared on his face, as he indifferently said, “Xiu Yi, you go stop him at the grassland two hundred meters away. I’ll shoot him down from the fortress.

“Within a distance of two hundred meters, it’ll be impossible for him to dodge.”

Xiu Yi’s brows furrowed. Earlier, he had been on the ground, and had obviously not seen the moment when Fang Xingjian fended off the five arrows in a mere instant. He could not understand Renault’s abruptly serious tone.

Of course, most importantly, he did not wish to work together with Renault to defeat Fang Xingjian.

Working together to defeat a Knight who had just transitioned one month before, even if said opponent was a Windstorm Sword Hero, was not a glorious act.

However, defeating the opponent alone, especially since the other party had recently defeated ten Knights single-handedly, would truly be a glorious act.

Therefore, Xiu Yi shook his head and said, “I alone will be enough.” With that, he took a step forward, not towards the grassland in front of the fortress, but towards the forest.

Compared to the open grassland, the forest was filled with obstructions, and Renault’s archery skills and options would be significantly limited.
