"Damn it!"

Zamuhai was nearly frantic as he continued to charge at Guo Wei.

He had mastered a six-layered Dharma Aspect and possessed Primitive Power. He was also an expert at the Qi Sea Perfection realm. On top of that, his bloodline was extraordinary, having already produced faint Divine Abilities. Guo Wei’s Archery could break through his subordinates’ defenses, but it couldn’t easily wound him.

Hamu had no choice but to charge forward with Zamuhai.

He provided cover for Zamuhai with his Archery.

"SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!"

He shot four arrows in quick succession at Guo Wei.

"SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!"

Guo Wei sat backward on his warhorse, his breathing synchronized with the horse’s tremors. It was as if he were sitting in a grand armchair in the Outer Courtyard of the Martial Arts Hall, watching a group of students practice their forms.

Six arrow streaks shot out almost simultaneously.

Just two of his arrows were enough to shoot down all four of Hamu’s. The remaining four flew straight for Hamu’s vitals.

Hamu’s eyes widened.

With his six-layered Dharma Aspect active, his perception was also astounding. Each of Guo Wei’s arrows felt unstoppable. Of the four speeding toward him, he used his Dharma Aspect to block the first three and parried the fourth with his Wide-Backed Saber. The immense force of the impact sent him flying off his horse, and his mount collapsed to the ground.

He was sent tumbling, a mess of man and horse.

Zamuhai’s expression changed abruptly. His first instinct was to put distance between himself and Guo Wei, but then he saw that Guo Wei only had three arrows left in his quiver. He couldn’t help but resume his charge.

Guo Wei also realized he only had three arrows left.

Seeing Zamuhai rushing toward him, he fired these three arrows in quick succession as well.

"CLANG!"

Zamuhai wasn’t trading arrows with Guo Wei from a distance like Hamu. As Hamu had learned, once an arrow volley was shattered by Guo Wei, it was incredibly difficult to recover.

Zamuhai brandished his Long Spear, its afterimages forming a curtain of light. The three arrows came at him menacingly. Each time one struck his spear, the impact made the webbing of his thumb go numb, and his warhorse neighed incessantly.

Fortunately, he blocked this volley from Guo Wei’s Archery and successfully reached him, thrusting forward with his spear.

"Hurry and provide support!"

Hamu, his face flushed red, got back on his horse and charged toward Guo Wei with over fifty men.

Guo Wei could have pulled away from Zamuhai, but he had deliberately stopped his horse, sitting and waiting for Zamuhai to close the distance.

Seeing his opponent’s overwhelming Spear Technique bearing down on him, Guo Wei first used the first level, Thrust, to block Zamuhai’s initial strike. He followed with the first level, Lock, which almost completely restrained Zamuhai’s Spear Technique. Zamuhai felt his spear movements become incredibly sluggish. When Guo Wei’s spear thrust toward him, he felt as if he had been momentarily transported back to his tent. He snapped back to reality with a jolt, only to find that his own movements were already under Guo Wei’s control.

Just as he was about to use all his strength to break free, he saw Guo Wei’s spear breach his defense, smashing down toward the crown of his head.

His expression changed dramatically, and he raised his spear to block.

Then he saw the spear smashing down at him suddenly vanish. At the same time, a piercing pain shot through his chest. He looked down and saw that Guo Wei’s spear had, at some unknown moment, run him clean through.

The next moment, the world spun around him as Guo Wei’s spear flung him from his horse.

"PSHHH!"

A spray of blood arced through the air.

With a follow-up move, Guo Wei took off Zamuhai’s head.

He then glanced at Hamu among the fifty riders, let out a soft sigh, and sped toward the National Border. The enemy’s morale was now in chaos. With his strength, he could have easily taken Hamu’s head from amidst those fifty men.

But thinking of Chu Lingguang and Hei Hu, who were being relentlessly pursued, he worried something might happen to them. Guo Wei could only abandon the idea and go support Chu Lingguang first.

"Zamuhai!"

Hamu watched Zamuhai get decapitated. He could only stare from a distance as Guo Wei disappeared over the horizon. He and Zamuhai were of comparable strength, both serving as Andre’s right-hand men. He never expected that after such a long pursuit, not only would they fail to gain any advantage, but they would also lose twenty to thirty men.

Banu and Zamuhai had both died at Guo Wei’s hands.

’If Bamo can’t kill Chu Lingguang, then our losses will have been truly catastrophic.’

"Bamo Chuo! They’ve split up!"

"SCREEE!"

Bamo led twenty men in pursuit of Chu Lingguang.

Chu Lingguang and Hei Hu had separated. The eagle circling overhead followed Chu Lingguang’s direction, seemingly having locked onto him completely.

"Killing Chu Lingguang is the priority! After him!"

Bamo decisively gave up on Hei Hu. Chu Lingguang’s potential was limitless, making him a far greater threat. He didn’t even consider sending a small detachment after Hei Hu, ignoring him completely.

’Junior Brother, I’ll come back for you.’

Hei Hu ran toward the National Border. Watching Bamo and his men all chase after Chu Lingguang, he felt both ashamed and furious. He knew he was the real small fry, an existence ignored from beginning to end.

"SWISH SWISH SWISH!"

A short while later, Bamo’s iron cavalry caught up. Chu Lingguang had entered his effective range.

"SWISH SWISH SWISH!"

He fired three arrows in a row: Three-Star Linked Pearls.

Chu Lingguang galloped toward the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but he didn’t forget to guard his back. Under the coverage of his Spiritual Sense, he quickly detected the three incoming arrow shafts.

"CLANG!"

Flying Leaf Lotus Spear, first level: Thrust.

He struck down all three arrow streaks at once. Although he couldn’t create an impenetrable defense within three feet of himself like Guo Wei could, blocking Bamo’s Three-Star Linked Pearls from a distance was still relatively easy.

"Giddy-up!"

He didn’t dare to linger in battle. Riding Little Red Horse, he quickly charged into the forest, seeking cover among the trees as he made his way toward Great Yuan.

"SWISH SWISH SWISH!"

Seeing that Chu Lingguang was about to enter the jungle, Bamo controlled his breathing and once again drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

The sound of something slicing through the air rushed toward Chu Lingguang.

Under the coverage of his perception, the three arrows flying toward him were so perfectly aligned they appeared as a single black dot, forming one continuous line aimed straight for the center of his back.
