Chapter 10 - Picking Flowers Under the Moon
That sound cah the darkness in a flash Like a fierce wind blade slicing through the Nine Heavens it cut over, its sharp sound fast and low
”Xiu!”
A row of arrows instantly pierced into the ground in front of Meng Fuyao and Yuan Zhaoxu's feet The arroas extre a ruler Even after a ti on the arrows still faintly tre
Those arrows closely stuck next to the two people's feet tips, al Fuyao's boots It could be seen that if the opposite side wanted to, a hole could be shot in Fuyao's feet as well!
In front of theh walls of Prince De's courtyard, a shadow had appeared Holding a bohile standing, the mysterious person sneered as they looked down A pair of pupils glittered with arrogance in the dark
Seeing the two lifting their heads to look over, that person slowly drew the bow The bowstring let out a tense noise, intentionally or unintentionally giving off aaura
The bow had now stretched into a full moon, as four arrows neatly pointed towards the two people down below Loohed ”Where did this heaven-daring couple couts to disturb the Prince De residence? That shot just noas only a courtesy, if you guys take onethose thick skulls of yours!”
Meng Fuyao slowly raised her head Facing the disdainful gaze of the person above the warned by others!
The moment she moved her head, the other side instantly lifted their hand as yet another arro out! The arroind tore the air apart as it shot straight at her forehead At the sarimly said, ”Trespassers of Prince De's residence, kill without mercy!”
Not only was this person's archery skill unrivaled, even their voice didn't fade over such a long distance It was clear their inner qi was not normal Despite this, Fuyao absolutely didn't think this er-happy person's warnings!
Fore in a flash, her back stuck close to the ground while the arrow feathers brushed past her nose tip While she was half-crouched on the ground, she suddenly twisted her waist up and kicked out with her feet A feathered arrow that had sunk half a chi into the ground was hit into the air, flipping around and changing direction With a sharp whistle it shot straight towards the shadow on top of the courtyard wall
The eyes of the person hidden in the darkness also seemed to flash - that kick of Fuyao's looked deceptively simple, but was in fact quite hard to execute The arroas sunk halfway deep into the ground In that aard back-crouching posture, not only did she ed to kick the arroithout snapping it in half What kind of th and flexibility did that simple movement require?
Thespirit raised Gesturing with his hand, the arrow suddenly split into two The arrowhead flipped around inFuyao
Fuyao leapt up fro out terful exhalations: ”Pei pei!”
Two consecutive collisions sounded out Those two broken arrow pieces were actually blown into four separate pieces by the true qi Fuyao shot out through her teeth, doubling back to fly at the person on the wall!
That person also didn't seem to expect Fuyao to be such a tenacious scoundrel, and couldn't help but laugh out The laughter echoed out, suddenly splitting the four shooting arrow frag towards Fuyao
The long arrow had already been divided into eight, with each piece only as long as a palain would be very difficult The stranger folded his ar, ”Let me see how you'll split it this time —”
His words had not yet settled before his eyes bulged out - Fuyao didn't even look at the eight arrow frag two feathered arrows at her feet With a soaring leap she had already sprinted towards the wall In midair, she forcibly launched the arrows like javelins to shoot straight for the person's waist, as she laughed, ”Stupid, it's not like we're coht I would continue to split?”
Her movements were sudden as she rushed over with extreth as she hung in the air That person's entire attention was focused on anticipating the sixteen arrow fragments to be launched back at him; how could he have expected her to despicably throw the other arrows all of a sudden? Being caught off guard, the person saw that the arrows had already flew close However, their martial skill was indeed exceptional Even when the arrows had almost arrived, the person was still unpanicked With a horizontal chop of his palm, the feathered arroere directly cut down by true qi
The person let out a breath, slanting his head to laugh towards a guard down below ”Those rats are so daring they can't tell life froeneral …” Before he finished speaking, the wind intensified behind hio cold …
His pants suddenly fell down —
The chilly moon shon onto the wall top Pants soundlessly fell down, piling around the ankles in the blink of an eye Fros
”Aha, bowlegged!” With a backflip Fuyao landed back besides Yuan Zhaoxu, then raised her head and laughed
Her hand played with a silk belt Just then when she pulled and threw the arrows, she had already tied the silk strip to one of the arrowheads When the person cut down the arrows, assu that Fuyao wouldn't be his opponent, he unconcernedly turned his head back to talk Unfortunately he didn't realize Fuyao took the opportunity to swiftly tug back on the arrow - as the arro back, it severed his pant string
As she shook with unsuppressed laughter, she watched the arrogant fellow hurriedly try to pull up his pants A loud and crisp snapping of fingers sounded out ”The two arrows just then was ance, the next thing I'll be severing won't be your pants, but your family jewels!”
Chuckling, she pulled at the s froo”
Just as she turned back, she suddenly heard a cold humph from the man on the wall, a sound filled to the bri a low noise, it seeht without warning! Magnificent and scintillating, the streaks rose up from the distant heavens, then rushed towards the boundless shattered void like eternal fla waves Faster than the eye could see, in a blink crossing sky and covering sea - filled with the primitive aura of the universe!
Fuyao only caught a gliht out of the corner of her eye, yet she still felt her heart shake That type of scintillating glow overwhel one's spirit to tremble and numb for a moment
It was only that one instant before the streak had already arrived before them
As the glow neared, Yuan Zhaoxu suddenly turned
Previously he was as still as aaction, his movements were swifter than even the hard-to-describe streaks of light by a few degrees His figure spun as his sleeves roiled and his dark hair scattered A white light flashed in the darkness, turbulently screeching to a halt!
A second of deathly silence
