79 Doomed Sooner or Later (1/2)
Chapter 79: Doomed Sooner or Later
The moment after Xiao Xiao finished pulling her bow open, WindWithoutTrace had the thought of escaping before the arrow shot out. His moving body immediately changed course and headed for the dense jungle. Soon, he was shuttling through the trees.
“Poplar Piercing Arrow!”
The crystal arrow penetrated through numerous trees, boring huge holes through tree trunks and nearly instantly appeared behind WindWithoutTrace.
“Bronze Armor Shield!”
WindWithoutTrace shouted loudly as a bronze-colored shield appeared behind him. Although Bronze Armor Shield was an E Class psionic defensive skill, it was stronger than Shi Xiaobai’s Wavelet Shield in terms of defensive strength. His Psionic Ability realm did not differ too much from Xiao Xiao, and after having numerous trees retarding the arrow, the Bronze Armor Shield naturally managed to block Xiao Xiao’s crystal arrow.
Although “Poplar Piercing Arrow” was a D Class archery offensive skill, it was something that placed more focus on accuracy, so it was less powerful.
Why did Xiao Xiao use such a long-distance archery technique that focused on accuracy despite the short distance?
This thought flashed in WindWithoutTrace’s mind. At the moment he blocked the Poplar Piercing Arrow, he thought of something that caused his pupils to violently contract.
“It’s a locator arrow!”
A locator arrow was like an army’s reconnaissance troops. They would sacrifice themselves to discover the enemy’s location, allowing the troops from behind to catch up. In the field of archery, a locator arrow was usually used to pinpoint the target before an extremely powerful but low accuracy shot was delivered.
Hence, the fatal move was the next one!
Upon coming to this realization, WindWithoutTrace suddenly stopped and raised his hands to the sky.
“Black Iron Barrier!”
The moment a black barrier was propped up, a rain of arrows came falling from the sky. Hundreds of crystal arrows came raining down at WindWithoutTrace as though they were blotting out the sky.
“Peng! Peng! …”
Numerous collision sounds and explosions echoed as the black barrier began to crack, and would shatter at any moment.
“Boom!”
The barrier only managed to last for a few seconds before it completely shattered. WindWithoutTrace appeared from inside the barrier with spear in hand. His hair fell backwards as he looked up at the inexhaustible rain of arrows and roared loudly.
“Wind Spear Dance!”
His spear kept stabbing and as he turned around and made a sweep, his footwork were like an elegant dance. As he brandished his spear, a silver-colored whirlwind began to form around his body.
“Clang! Clang! Clang…”
The impact between the silver spear and the crystal arrows constantly produced explosive sounds as numerous crystal arrows that came falling down were sent flying by the silver spear.
Moments later, the rain of arrows finally ceased, but when WindWithoutTrace took a look around him, there was not even a single crystal arrow on the ground! The only three arrows in the entire area were embedded in his body!
“Illusion Arrow Rain! What a terrifying woman.”
Illusion Arrow Rain was a C Class archery offensive skill. It was extremely difficult to learn, and just shooting three arrows was sufficient to create the illusion of a sky filled with arrows. It was an offensive skill that could instantly kill enemies with weak wills. WindWithoutTrace’s Black Iron Barrier was shattered because of the terror brought by the rain of arrows.
WindWithoutTrace forcefully pulled out the three arrows in his body. Although he had lowered the pain setting to 10%, the pain of pulling the arrows still made him clench his teeth. He felt his life draining away and after a momentary internal struggle, he took out the “Energy Pearl”. The system asked him in his mind if he wanted to use it as he immediately chose “Yes”.
