”Woosh!” Another whistling sound rang out.
An arrow flew across everybody’s eyes with lightning speed, then once again landed on the target. Following the landing of the arrow, another white feathered arrow snapped into two.
”Crack!”
A sound that shook the soul rang out.
This arrow was naturally the arrow Fang Zhengzhi shot. The broken white-feathered arrow that landed on the ground was also naturally Princess Shan Yu’s white-feathered arrow.
However, this scene happened too quickly.
Before anybody had managed to recover completely from the outcome of the first arrow, the same thing occurred once again.
If a soul could tremble, then, everybody on the scene at this moment were trembling. General Tai’s eyeballs were very close to falling on the ground.
Bright red veins of blood filled his eyeballs.
”He hit again?!”
If the first shot was a coincidence, then, what was this?
Was it still a coincidence?
This was a question that didn’t need much thought. However, it was exactly this simple and clear question that caused him to remain in disbelief.
”It can’t be, it is impossible for this little kid to have such skills. He is just a spy…”
Just as unwilling to believe this as General Tai was the General Mu standing beside him, as well as the five hundred Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry soldiers standing still in neat rows not too far away.
Just fifteen minutes ago, when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, the only thing other than spite in their hearts was mockery.
However, when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi now.
They were filled with shock.
”What accurate archery skills!”
This was the only thought that flashed in their mind.
The Southern Mountain Range respected true ability, and respected people for their combat prowess.
Among these skills, archery was held in the highest regard. After all, the geography and landscape of the Southern Mountain Range was complicated, and the living conditions and environment were harsh. This had resulted in settlements fighting among themselves for territory.
However, these struggles and fights between settlements couldn’t occur in vast, open places.
Most of them occurred in the form of ambushes in the dense forest and long distance shots.
Hence, to be able to live in a place like the Southern Mountain Range, archery was the most fundamental survival skill, as well as a survival skill that a powerful person had to possess.
”He… can actually achieve this?” Princess Shan Yu’s expression was now completely frozen.
As the leader from the younger generation in the Southern Mountain Range, she was fully deserving the title of number one in archery skills. To be able to attain the title of number one in a place where strength and power determined respect…
he was truly number one.
Fang Zhengzhi’s shot wasn’t spectacular, and even appeared extremely ordinary. However, he used the simplest and most ordinary technique to shoot an arrow onto her own.
If Princess Shan Yu wished to achieve this.
She could definitely achieve it as well. However, she was too careless. She underestimated her opponent. Ever since she was informed that three of Fang Zhengzhi’s arrows had missed the bullseye, she didn’t bother to consider such an outcome.
”Shameless!” Princess Shan Yu could only use this term to describe Fang Zhengzhi’s actions.
Because, other than this term, she really couldn’t find another term that expressed her anger and dissatisfaction.
Two arrows had landed accurate on her own two arrows.
Then, from the current results, she had hit a total of twenty-eight arrows. Even if she included her special prize for being the first to complete and added another arrow, totaling to twenty-nine, Fang Zhengzhi had already shot twenty-nine arrows on the targets, resulting in a draw.
Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi still had another arrow in his hand.
If Fang Zhengzhi released another arrow and shot down her own arrow.
Then, the outcome would be Fang Zhengzhi having thirty arrows on target, while she would only have a pathetic twenty-seven arrows.
Thirty arrows, twenty-seven on the bullseye, three outside the bullseye. On the other hand, she had twenty-seven on the bullseye. No matter what, it was impossible for her to win Fang Zhengzhi.
Cruel!
Fang Zhengzhi naturally knew what Princess Shan Yu was thinking. However, he still flashed a smile he believed was bright and warm towards Princess Shan Yu, and waved his hand furiously.
In Princess Shan Yu’s eyes, this action was undoubtedly the greatest mockery.
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t pay any further attention to Princess Shan Yu. Instead, he drew the bow in his hand into a full crescent once again.
Everybody’s gaze was tightly fixated upon the arrow in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand.
Including Princess Shan Yu.
At this moment, breathing seemed to have completely stopped.
Because, everybody knew that if Fang Zhengzhi managed to shoot down the white-feathered arrow once again, it meant that Princess Shan Yu was about to lose this competition.
”Woosh!”
Under the gaze of everybody, the third arrow shot out and whistled through the air, its feather dancing freely in mid-air and tracing a beautiful arc.
”Thud!”
There was pindrop silence.
Everybody looked towards the target.
Without any doubt, the third arrow once again landed within the bullseye.
However…
Unfortunately, it didn’t hit the white-feathered arrow.
It was like an isolated arrow, carrying with it an air of coldness and arrogance. It didn’t bother knocking off the white-feathered arrow on the target. Instead, it stood alone quietly on the target, enjoying its solitude.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was also in solitude. Just like a boat drifting in a torrential rain, surrendering itself to the powerful wind and quietly floating on the surface of the sea.
Silence.
Nobody spoke.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi didn’t manage to hit Princess Shan Yu’s white arrow, based on what Princess Shan Yu said, if one judged based on the number of arrows on target, as long as Fang Zhengzhi’s arrow landed on the target, it meant that he had won.
However, would Princess Shan Yu admit defeat?
”Damn it, I missed!”
Fang Zhengzhi swore, then forcefully smashed the bow in his hand onto the ground with a regretful expression. With a crack, the bow broke into two pieces.
Immediately after, he looked towards Princess Shan Yu with an extremely miserable and bitter look.
”Can… this be counted as a draw?” As Fang Zhengzhi spoke, he pointed at the three arrows on the target.
