Chapter 488 (1/2)

Death By A Single Arrow (4)

Li Yue was taken by surprise. Before she could fire her arrow, Ye Lang had already shot his own. She stood stunned as the arrow show past her like a bolt of lightning.

It wasn’t just because she hadn’t expected Ye Lang to shoot first, most importantly, she couldn’t believe how fast this arrow was travelling, it was unbelievable.

She’d witnessed his archery skills at the range and already felt inferior to him. To her, he’d already reached the peak of archery, perhaps not many could beat him in this mainland.

However, at this moment, she felt that perhaps even then she was underestimating just how powerful he was.

Ye Lang’s arrow shot forward like lightning, appearing in front of the wolf’s eye in just the blink of an eye and piercing right through it.

The wolf seemed to see something it couldn’t believe at that moment. Instinctively, when it saw the arrow, it closed its eyes but what could a mere eyelid do? The arrow pierced through its eyelid.

It did not stop there. It drove straight into its head, damaging the brain. That one arrow was so powerful the wolf was almost knocked back by the force equivalent to a bull.

The mighty beast had already become the prey before it had the chance to display its magnificence. And now a dead prey.

“...”

Li Yue and Coldblood Five were in shock, surprised at the outcome. They’d expected a long fight but Ye Lang’s single arrow saved them a lot of time.

Was this his true capability?

“When you shoot at the range… Were you holding back?” Li Yue did not put down her bow and arrow. She seemed to have forgotten about it.

“Holding back? Oh, are you talking about my actual skills? Of course I was. We should always be humble, we cannot always show off our true strengths.” He nodded, admitting he’d been holding back.

“Tell me honestly, is it true you’d never touched a bow and arrow before this?” Li Yue had a solemn expression. She was suspicious but anyone would be.

Li Yue had been there to witness his growth from an absolute beginner to expert to this unfathomable master, and he’d made this progress in 7 days!

How was it possible a person could improve so much in a week?

It didn’t seem possible at all. Even a prodigy might not be able to do this.

Unless he’d been lying. He’d already known archery before this and he was only there to get a chance to talk to me.

Li Yue wondered in her heart. Perhaps Ye Lang had been lying to her and set everything up in efforts to pursue her. She couldn’t believe she fell for it!

“I’ve never done archery.” He shook his head.

“Never? That’s impossible! You must be lying! You’ve been lying to me so you could get the chance to talk to me. That’s why we met so often wherever I went! I’m so stupid, I can’t believe I actually thought those were coincidences,” said Li Yue coldly, feeling like she had just been cheated.

“...” Ye Lang was stunned for a moment then said, “You’re right, they weren’t coincidences at all. I was trying to get to know you, I wanted to win you over.”

“You idiot, why did you tell her? Didn’t we tell you to never admit this even if you were dying?” said Coldblood Five, panicking.
