At the Mirror Lake Meng Manor.

Meng Chuan only finished his 8000 Saber Drawing Stance repet.i.tions in the afternoon due to his visit to his grandaunt in the morning.

After lunch, he rested for two hours. Only then did he start his second training in his daily routine: defensive saber arts and movement techniques!

“Fire,” a servant commanded.

Immediately, ten Mortal Shedding realm experts fired simultaneously! Following that was a second unit, then a third unit.

Three units of experts continuously shot arrows.

As Meng Chuan’s G.o.dfiend foundation grew more robust, his strength was rising. The arrows shot out by Marrow Cleansing realm guards were like cotton to him. Therefore, the Meng family spared no expense to gather thirty experts at the Mortal Shedding realm to help in his training. Fortunately, the Meng family had many members, so the thirty experts included Meng family members other than the original guards. Every afternoon, they would come and help him for an hour.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ One arrow after another shot out.

Meng Chuan stood there, finding it very magical. He could clearly see the dark red patterns on each of the Scarletblood Blackiron arrow shafts. Every single arrow’s trajectory and the collisions between them didn’t escape Meng Chuan’s notice.

Nothing could hide from him within a hundred feet.

Meng Chuan took a step to the left and stood still. Nine arrows flew past him, and some arrows flew past the edges of his hair while others flew past his waist. Only one arrow flew towards his chest; he swung his saber and deflected the arrow with ease.

Meng Chuan just needed one step to the left and one deflection to deal with ten arrows.

It’s so easy. Meng Chuan stood in a circle that was about ten feet in diameter and did not move very quickly. However, the arrows flew past him without touching him. He would only wave his saber occasionally.

“What’s going on?”

“Why is Young Master looking so relaxed?” The thirty experts were also shocked.

I know the trajectory of the arrows the moment they are fired. I can immediately figure out which spots are safe. Meng Chuan found this very strange. It was as if everything in a hundred-foot radius was his domain. He could easily predict all the trajectories, making it extremely easy to dodge the arrows.

“Stop,” Meng Chuan suddenly shouted.

The thirty Mortal Shedding realm experts also stopped to look at Meng Chuan.

“Move forward twenty feet.”

“Twenty feet?” One of the Meng family members said hurriedly. “This distance is too close. We are only fifty feet away from you. You won’t have time to react if we shoot at such a close range. In my opinion, we should start by shrinking the distance by ten feet.”

“It’s fine. Let’s try it out first,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Listen to me, shrink the distance by twenty feet.”

n.o.body refuted Young Master Meng’s words. After all, there were no arrowheads, and they were wrapped in cloth. Nothing could happen.

Whoos.h.!.+ The thirty Mortal Shedding realm experts immediately walked forward twenty feet.

“Fire.”

The crossbow triggers were pulled, and arrows pierced through the air.

Their strength was simply too great. The weaker guards could muster up to 2,500 kilograms of strength, and the stronger guards could muster almost 5,000 kilograms of strength. One could imagine how fast their arrows were.

At such a short distance, even though Meng Chuan could sense everything within a hundred feet and his Lightning Divine Body was extremely fast, he instantly felt the pressure!

Previously, he had been so relaxed because he had been able to determine the safer areas. This sort of “determining” happened extremely quickly, but it still required some time. At such a close range, Meng Chuan didn’t have time to determine the safe areas calmly. He had to rely on his instincts and his movement technique to dodge or fend off the arrows with his saber art. Everything relied on instinct.

They were too close! There was no time to think!

Dodge!

Block!

Under this pressure, he relied on his 100-foot domain to dodge with all his might. However, there were still arrows that he couldn’t block or dodge.

An arrow shot towards his lower abdomen.

Block! Meng Chuan wanted to block it, but he was too slow. He watched the arrow about to hit his abdomen.

Whoosh.

Under his intense desire to dodge, an invisible force surged into his saber. His saber instantly moved a little faster. With a “pfft,” he blocked the arrow.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Arrows rained down, fast and furious.

Faster, faster. Meng Chuan tried his best to dodge.

Boom!
