Chapter 68: One Saber Three Arrows
“The Tang Clan’s people! That is Tang Feng,” when the group of people came closer Xiao Chen and the rest were able to quickly identify them.
The Tang Clan’s group also consisted of five people. Tang Feng was holding a longbow made of ice crystals. When they were about 100 meters away, they stopped moving. When he saw Xiao Chen, a shocked expression appeared on his face for awhile.
After a long time, he smiled, “So Brother Xiao is here. What a coincidence. My apologies but this Fire Lizard’s Demonic Core is ours.”
Hearing what he said, the few Xiao Clan disciples behind Xiao Chen felt angry. After fighting for half a day, this fellow comes over and s.n.a.t.c.hes it. How improper!
Xiao Ling`er frowned slightly and said mockingly, “If you have guts, then put aside your bow and come over here.”
The remaining people also roared out. It was obvious to them that the ice crystal bow in Tang Feng’s hands was not ordinary. Seeing him stand so far, it was clear that he was extremely cautious.
Tang Feng played with the ice crystal bow in his hand, revealing an indifferent smile, “Brother Xiao, your Xiao Clan members were being pressured to the point where they could not retaliate. My arrow could be said to be their saviour. Handing a tiny Demonic Core to me would not be too unreasonable.”
“It is very unreasonable,” Xiao Chen could not be bothered to play word games with him and continued saying indifferently, “If they had not severely injured this Fire Lizard in the first place, do you think that you could kill it with just one arrow?”
“I’m already ignoring the issue of your actions disrupting our trial. Yet, now you want to engage in some glib talk in front of me? Scram immediately.”
Tang Feng’s complexion changed. He originally thought that Xiao Chen’s group was already eliminated by the elders of the Zhang Clan and Tang Clan. His intention in coming here was only to meet up with these elders.
He had never expected that Xiao Chen would actually be standing right in front of him, still alive and well. Thinking very hard, Tang Feng said coldly, “Xiao Chen, you look down on my strength too much. Do you dare to receive three of my arrows? If you are able to, then I will leave immediately.
“We will receive it! Why not? Even ten arrows would not be a problem. Do you think Elder Brother Xiao Chen is afraid of you?” Xiao Ling`er’s melodious voice answered Tang Feng before Xiao Chen could say anything.
“Elder Brother Xiao Chen, you must do your best! Don’t let this fellow get too arrogant,” Xiao Ling`er said to Xiao Chen in her usual, bizarre fas.h.i.+on.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at her. This girl was obviously just trying to get revenge. She was put into a miserable state by the Fire Lizard earlier, and now that there was a chance for her to obtain revenge, she grabbed onto it immediately.
In order to deal with someone who used long range attacks like Tang Feng, one must rapidly get close and finish it quickly, not giving him any chance to put distance between them. Just like now, standing where they were waiting to shoot him down was undoubtedly the most stupid method.
“Xiao Chen, I will not fire more than what I said; just three arrows. If you can withstand three arrows of mine, I will immediately leave. Do you dare to agree?” seeing Xiao Chen not say anything, Tang Feng used the most vulgar method to agitate him into doing what he wanted.
Ever since Tang Feng appeared, Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense had not left the ice crystal bow in Tang Feng’s hands. Cold Qi was flowing in that bow, and the ice attributed Spiritual Energy was relentlessly gathering in it.
This was obviously a Spirit Weapon with an ice attribute embedded inside. Furthermore, Tang Feng’s Martial Spirit was likely to be an ice attribute, allowing this ice bow to relentlessly absorb the cold energy from its surroundings.
However, Xiao Chen was not afraid. This was because Tang Feng was only a peak Superior Martial Disciple. Although he was already a step into the Martial Master realm, he was, in the end, still a Martial Disciple.
There would be a limit to his strength. He would not have any way to fully display the huge strength contained in this ice bow.
Xiao Chen smiled indifferently, “Why would I not dare to receive three arrows from you? If I can withstand them, do you dare to receive a saber blow from me?”
“Why would I not dare? I am just not sure if you will still be alive after receiving my three arrows,” Tang Feng smiled coldly. It was clear from his words that he was extremely confident in the ice crystal bow in his hands.
Tang Feng’s hand grasped the ice crystal bow and his aura suddenly changed. Drawing the bowstring, turning the bow into a shape similar to that of the full moon, the cold Qi poured into the bow. A cold light radiated out, with bits of ice swimming around it like tadpoles, as though alive.
“Xiu!”
The bowstring vibrated and the first ice arrow fired out like an icy rainbow. A boundless cold Qi fired towards Xiao Chen’s throat, giving off a ‘wuwu’ sound. It was as though an ice deity leaped across with a matchless momentum.
“Dang!”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was as calm as still water, the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hands suddenly radiating with an electrical light. A melodious shattering sound resounded, and the ice arrow was shattered into countless fragments.
“Hua!”
The ice fragments in the air did not drop to the ground. Instead, they melted into a pool of water and formed into an ice arrow again. Its speed increased explosively by a fold when it was about a meter in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took a few steps urgently backward, sending out the energy of the Demonic Core in the Lunar Shadow Saber. The electrical light flickered continuously, creating a countless number of thunderbolts, then he chopped down with the saber again.
“Dang Dang!”
This time, the ice arrow turned into water and fell to the ground; it no longer looked awe inspiring.
When Xiao Ling`er, who was standing at his side, saw the scene in front of her, she immediately regretted her actions. The strength of Tang Feng’s ice bow was incredibly strong.
Tang Feng smiled coldly, “I thought you were very strong; turns out, not so much. This is just the first arrow. There are still two more arrows after this. I want to see how you withstand them.”
Once he said that, Tang Feng immediately drew the bowstring again. Cold Qi rushed into the bow again and an ice arrow was formed again. A chill as cold as the North Pole penetrated through the air as the arrow was released.
This arrow was so fast that it did not even leave behind a shadow in the air. It was impossible to see with the human eye. It was as though it had broken through s.p.a.ce and just appeared in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen extended out his right hand and pointed forward. The surging Essence in his body poured out towards his right hand like a river; a small spark was ignited, looking like a weak firefly in the night.
“Bang!”
