Everyone had these thoughts in their hearts.
Even Song Shiyuan and the others—though they didn’t know the purpose of Yu Wenye’s battle, they were disheartened to see an enemy escape right before their eyes. Moreover, the one who got away was Yuan An, the leader of the troop that pursued them this ti, who caused them no small amount of suffering, and yet he managed to flee!
Especially Yu Wencheng, whose palms were enduring the excruciating pain of splitting. At this mont, he gritted his teeth tightly.
But turning back to look at Yu Wenye, who was gradually opening that heavy strong bow, his fingertips sparkling in the sunlight, aiming at Yuan An, who had bent low, preparing to ride into the Pine Forest, his figure about to disappear; his expression cold, without a trace of disorder. Though Yu Wencheng was furious inside, he couldn’t help but show a sneer at the corner of his mouth—
So, you’re just like this.
Thinking this, Yu Wencheng felt a much clearer sense of relief, even letting out a low sneer involuntarily. Although, in that mont, everyone around held their breaths with their attention entirely on Yu Wenye and the vanishing figure of Yuan An, so still noticed sothing. Those eyes, constantly bloodshot and tired-looking, cautiously glanced towards Yu Wencheng.
And Yu Wencheng seed particularly sensitive to such looks, swiftly turned his head, only to et a pair of surprised yet cautious eyes.
Nie Chong imdiately diverted his gaze.
At the mont their gazes crossed, soone in the crowd on the other side let out a dejected sigh.
"Ah—!"
Both imdiately turned back, just in ti to see Yuan An crouched low on the horseback, with Liuqing beneath him making a swift leap, rushing into the Pine Forest!
Though Yuan An’s physique was quite robust, riding a horse, the dense forest quickly concealed his figure; and the soldiers knew well that no matter how skilled, a Divine Archer inside a forest loses their advantage, the skill of archery, however good, would be hindered by the dense trees.
With that, Yuan An had completely escaped their encirclent!
Yet, when everyone’s hearts sank with disappointnt, even so frustration, Yu Wenye stood unmoving at a high place, his hard bow fully drawn like a full moon, the taut bowstring emitting a low, dangerous hum as it neared breaking.
Seeing this sight, those around were montarily stunned, and Shang Ruyi, observing his cold gaze, sharper than the arrow he held at his fingertips, seed suddenly to understand sothing.
She instinctively held her breath, turning her gaze forward.
The Pine Forest was dense like a barrier; once Yuan An charged in, he nearly vanished from sight. Only by carefully observing could one, in the gaps between the stout trunks, find traces of him weaving through.
At this mont, Yu Wenye’s arrow precisely aid at a small gap in that dense forest.
However, Yuan An did not give him the chance to aim. Even inside the forest, he didn’t completely relax, enduring the pain, using his unhard arm to tightly grip the reins, commanding Liuqing beneath him to weave through the forest swiftly. Especially seeing a thicker tree trunk ahead, nearly as wide as a person, he was overjoyed, urgently riding around it, using that tree as a shield, galloping forward.
And then, just as he hid completely behind that big tree, a light flashed in Yu Wenye’s eyes.
Then, he quickly released his grip, and the Divine Arm Bow, on the verge of collapsing, emitted a deafening roar, like a dragon’s cry resonating in everyone’s ears, while the stout arrow turned into a bolt, swiftly shooting from Yu Wenye’s fingertips!
The sound of breaking through the air was earth-shaking.
And the world seed to, at that mont, fall silent!
Though everyone’s eyes were fixed on Yu Wenye, no gaze could match the speed of the lightning shot at that mont, people only felt a bright flash before them, the light stinging their eyes, so even instinctively closing them, daring not to see the outco of that arrow.
But before the result unfolded, what ca first was the sound of sothing shattering.
The arrow, wrapped in thunderous force, flew straight out, unexpectedly shooting through the thick Pine tree, leaving a bowl-sized hole in the trunk, and its force continued, roaring like a beast, directing its power straight toward the charging Yuan An!
Then, it struck him dead center in the back!
"Ah—!"
Only hearing a heartrending scream, releasing all the pain and fear endured along the way, it echoed throughout the mountains, and the arrow’s fierce montum not only pierced through Yuan An but also lifted him entirely off his horse, crashing to the ground.
Blood swiftly stained a large area of the forest floor.
At that mont, everyone was stunned.
Among them, so had followed Yu Wenye in the past military engagents, and so were captured soldiers from the Battle of Fufeng, all had witnessed Yu Wenye’s prowess and knew he possessed a world-shaking Divine Arm Bow, yet even so, they hadn’t expected Yu Wenye to release such an arrow!
Even Shang Ruyi was shocked.
This surpassed the ti at Yann Pass battling Myn Dy, when one arrow injured Ashina Shali!
She sowhat incredulously stared at Yuan An’s figure flipped from his horse in the front, then slowly turned to look at Yu Wenye’s eyes still cold as ice, but a splash of red caught her eyes.
It was his hand!
The hand that had just pulled the bowstring tight and released that arrow, its fingertips were wounded!
"Your—"
Before she could say "hand," Yu Wenye had clenched his fist as if unwilling for others, especially those who had seen the scene, to take a clearer look, coldly tossing the heavy Divine Arm Bow to soone behind him, and taking one more glance at Yu Wencheng, who approached slowly with complex expression.
Then said, "Back to camp!"
