"You all continue, pretend I didn’t say anything just now." Long Ye smiled sheepishly, and then his gaze fell on the fully drawn longbow.

Xu Nian and the others saw this and knew that Long Ye was probably afraid, so after a smile, they didn’t say anything and kept their attention on the duel stage.

Feng Yong also chimed in, "Although Han Shan’s power ranks ninth in the Five Extremes Domain, his close combat power ranks among the top three. Sending him in might be a bit of a bully, but I just want to see to what extent this bow can push Han Shan."

"You sent a close combat expert ranked among the top three of the newcomer generation to fight him, are you crazy? Bows are originally good at long-range combat; if they’re close, then the bow’s power is at least halved. What do you want us to see?"

Xu Nian frowned, complaining.

However, Feng Yong merely replied flatly, "Will his future enemies always fight him at range?"

"You’re just being unreasonable!" Xu Nian glared angrily at Feng Yong and then stopped talking, focusing his attention entirely on the duel stage.

The bow has been released!

The arrow has left the string!

The bow handler isn’t foolish; he knows he can’t let himself be approached closely, so after shooting an arrow, he immediately widens the distance between himself and Han Shan.

Boom—

Han Shan’s Three Veins shook simultaneously, and then he raised his hand to erect a black stone stele in front of him, blocking the arrow coming straight at him. Of course, he didn’t underestimate the opponent to such an extent where he believed he could rely solely on a casual Vein Qi defense to block this arrow, so at the moment the stele rose and collided with the arrow, he burst forward.

What he wanted was simple: use the stele to block the arrow for one or two breaths, so he could seize the opportunity to quickly close the distance with the opponent.

Boom—

The stele shattered on impact, scattering across the ground.

After piercing through the stele, the arrow immediately turned its point and continued toward Han Shan. Han Shan didn’t look back but kept charging at the bow handler. Yet when within a hundred zhang, the bow handler shot three more arrows!

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

When the three piercing sounds came, Han Shan’s Meridian Gate shook immediately, then a stone spear appeared, flicking the approaching arrows aside. He then leaped into the air, wanting to descend like a meteor as usual when he felt the four arrows below!

The four arrows ascended fiercely, chasing after him!

"Looks like I’ll have to destroy this arrow first!" Han Shan’s Meridian Gate trembled suddenly, then he fiercely adjusted the spearhead, diving down.

"Shaking Mountains and Rivers!"

With the full power of Han Shan wrapped up in a shot, his spear came crashing down and shattered the four arrows, even causing the special material of the duel stage to crack and form a pit. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the continuous piercing sounds echoed.

From behind.

From above.

And from the right side.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The piercing sounds were like thunderstorms after a heavy rain, incessant; within ten breaths, he heard at least twenty arrow sounds.

And the sound of arrows leaving the string continued!

The opponent was actually shooting arrows continuously!

"This Vortex Killing Artifact is really a cheat!"

Han Shan’s face condensed, for each arrow’s destructive power was at least at the level of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, otherwise his defensive stele, able to withstand ordinary Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression attacks, wouldn’t have shattered instantly. Even for him, stopping each arrow required about seventy percent of his strength.

Now the opponent was shooting arrows continuously, which was too overpowered. Within ten breaths, the entire duel arena was filled with a rain of arrows, chasing Han Shan as if they had eyes.

Han Shan tried to dodge, but found that the arrows increased in number after he evaded.

With no option left, Han Shan had to fully withstand the arrow rain, helplessly using all his strength to repeatedly smash the incoming rain of arrows.

In this way, Han Shan couldn’t harm the bow handler.

Nor could the bow handler injure Han Shan.

Both sides fell into an unprecedented stalemate.

Seeing this, the onlookers couldn’t help but express their admiration.

"Although this time the person with the Vortex Killing Artifact didn’t instantly win the battle, they still left Han Shan helpless. It should be noted, Han Shan is one of the top ten on the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking of the Five Extremes Domain, and he’s just an ordinary member of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression."

"Have you noticed that each arrow shot from this bow is formed by condensing the Vein Qi between heaven and earth, without the bow handler spending much Spiritual Power."

"Is that why he dared to keep shooting arrows?"

"It must be!"

"Then isn’t this bow a bit too terrifying? In battle, he alone could be equivalent to thousands of soldiers!"

Countless people began to marvel, exclaim.

Tian Xian in the crowd couldn’t help but have his eyes shine, already itching for the Vortex Killing Artifact.

"Suddenly, I really want to have a Vortex Killing Artifact too!"

But wishing is one thing; he had just had a small conflict with the people of the Immortal Sect, how could he boldly ask for a Vortex Killing Artifact?

He had already lost face in front of the Immortal Sect once before.

Could it be that he had to lose face again?

As Tian Xian hesitated, and the duel on stage dragged on for fifteen minutes, Feng Yong’s voice came, "Stop!"

At this moment, the arrow rain on the duel stage was extremely dazzling, so much so that even Feng Yong couldn’t count how many arrows there were.

The two had been in this stalemate, so continuing was meaningless.

Yet the duel was so engrossing that although Feng Yong called out, neither of them reacted.
