Chapter 539: Abandoned (1/2)

Su Bao had originally thought that the arrows that the black-robed middle-aged man next to him had fired previously, were using at most around 20 percent of his strength. He had obviously never expected that the arrows that Shun Long had blocked were actually fired at almost full strength, and yet he was somehow still standing there unharmed.

After all, the cultivation of the middle-aged man with the black bow was already at the peak of rank 6 in the Nascent Soul! Even if he wasn't as strong as a normal peak rank 6 Nascent Soul disciple of the Holy sect, it shouldn't be possible for an early rank 3 Nascent Soul cultivator like Shun Long to take his attacks head-on, especially with his raw hands!

Although others may not know about it, Su Bao clearly knew, that the black bow that the middle-aged man next to him was holding was actually a peak rank 1 gold-grade weapon, while the metal arrows that he fired were all rank 2 silver-grade weapons.

Their lethality was able to harm even a body refinement cultivator who had reached the middle of the fifth stage in body refinement, let alone someone like Shun Long who was obviously still at the early fifth stage.

Even if Shun Long combined both his qi and the strength of his body refinement, he shouldn't be able to even block a single arrow at 40 percent strength, let alone 2 of them that were actually at 80 percent!

The shocks that he received one after the other made Su Bao stand rooted in place, as he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man next to him and asked coldly

''Su Dong, are you serious?''

Of course, the shock that Su Bao felt was only natural.

Even before they began their ambush, the 2 of them had already noticed that Shun Long was wearing the robes of an outer disciple of the Holy sect.

They hadn't expected that Ying Gui would actually ask for help from the Holy sect this time, nor that he would manage to find someone to help him in just the 3 days that he stayed in the Holy city.

Thankfully, after seeing that Shun Long was only an early rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator who had only reached the early fifth stage in body refinement, Su Bai and the middle-aged man with the black bow, Su Dong, decided to continue with their ambush as planned.

Only if they had to fight against a disciple of the Holy sect who had reached the peak of rank 5 or the early rank 6 in the Nascent Soul, would they consider to back off from the fight and quickly return to the family and change their plans.

After all, it was common knowledge that the disciples of the Holy sect couldn't be compared with the normal cultivators who were living within the Holy sect's territory.

Even if Su Bao and Su Dong came from the Su family, they still wouldn't fight against an early rank 6 Nascent Soul disciple of the Holy sect unless they absolutely had to, since even with their combined strength they wouldn't be absolutely certain that they could come out on top.

As for Shun Long, although he wasn't even at the middle stages of the Nascent Soul, to be able to block Su Dong's arrows, his strength was definitely abnormal.

This made Su Bao uncertain of whether he should continue or not.
