Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 91 - 14 Dazzling Shot_2

"I'll give it a try," Yue Jinghua took the crossbow, and exaggerated a heavy-handed expression, then attempted to pull the string again, made of Fourth-tier Snake Tendon, which was incredibly tough and difficult to pull.

She tried several times, but failed to pull it back.

The surrounding mercenaries gradually lost their patience and urged her on.

"Alas, it seems difficult to pull this crossbow by hand, I guess I have to—" At that moment, Yue Jinghua seemed to transform into a different person, with a light tap of her feet, like a Spirit Bird bursting through the air, she gracefully stood atop the ship's gunwale.

She crouched down slightly, assuming a half-squatting, half-sitting posture, with her arms, feet, and slender waist all straining at once, her whole body as taut as a drumhead.

Her upper body leaned forward at an angle, pushing the crossbow flat in front of her chest, and with a push of her feet, she performed a backflip; power from her feet, waist, and arms surged up, invoking the power of Creation. These three streams of force, thin like trickle, twisted together ingeniously like braiding strands, combining the strength of waist, hands, and feet concentrated onto the string.

A shooting star-like streak of intense white light, with a loud "bang," the crossbow arrow was fully charged. The string struck, as torrential as a dam bursting in a downpour.

As the crossbow arrow soared into the sky, it pierced through the protective shield. The entire Fire Dragon ship staggered as if hitting a reef, and those on board felt a thunderous rumbling by their ears, like a stampede of ten thousand horses.

The whole protective shield was torn open with a large hole, that streak of white light carrying the power of Creation, like a Spiritual Python emerging from its hole, opened its greedy maw, lunging towards the escaping Crow Pheasants in the sky.

Like wildfire in the wilderness, or like a vast net spread across the sky, the Crow Pheasants had nowhere to escape, affected by the powerful force of the arrow, they came down like raindrops.

Bird feathers fluttered, scattering to the ground.

Not until that moment did the mercenaries on the ship come to their senses, everyone looked towards the gunwale.

The woman on the gunwale stood against the wind, the cold high-altitude breeze tousled her long hair, spreading like spilled ink on the boundless sheet of sky.

Her deep black eyes shone with a sharpness that was intimidating.

At that moment, Yue Jinghua seemed less like a person, and more like an extraordinary Divine Artifact, its edge suddenly revealed, engulfing everyone's consciousness.

Feng Buhui stood on the deck, his mind full of mixed feelings, "Your way of shooting the crossbow? You can shoot a crossbow?"

The method Yue Jinghua used to shoot the crossbow, Feng Buhui had never seen before. On the Canglong Continent, for hundreds of years, crossbows had always been operated by hand, nobody had ever used their waist, their legs to shoot a crossbow.

"The waist-release crossbow has a longer range and greater power. Feng Buhui, your shooting is not bad, but it's a pity that you are too confined to the methods left by predecessors." Yue Jinghua retracted the crossbow, her thumb and index finger bearing deep bloodstains from the demonstration.

In terms of cultivation and crossbow shooting experience, Feng Buhui was much stronger than Yue Jinghua. However, in the realm of experience, Yue Jinghua, who carried thousands of years of Huaxia crossbow culture, had the upper hand.

"I've lost," Feng Buhui did not attempt a third shot, he suddenly believed that Yue Jinghua was an outstanding Artifact Pattern Master, and only a true Artifact Pattern Master would know how to better exploit the functions of a weapon.

Old Teluo was also astonished, but as a veteran mercenary, he knew how to save face for both parties in such a situation, "Since the loss is determined, from now on, no one is to disrespect Alchemist Yue, or it will be deemed disrespect to the entire Reversed Fire Mercenary Group."

Old Teluo's words were directed at the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group, particularly Lihua Xue, whose face turned extremely dark after witnessing the scene.

"Hold on, if I remember correctly, there was an additional condition for winning or losing this competition. Miss Hua Xue, do you still remember our agreement just now?" Yue Jinghua had no intention of sparing the real instigator behind the scenes.

"You, Yue Jinghua, you want to drive me away? I..." Lihua Xue was audaciously fearless, her beautiful eyes beginning to mist with tears, appearing pityingly lovable, "Brother Ni, the Fire Dragon has already ascended to mid-air. By asking Hua Xue to leave at this time, are you not blatantly sending her to her death? Before embarking, my elder sister entrusted you to take good care of me."

At this moment, the Fire Dragon had already risen nearly a thousand feet into the sky. Amongst Dark Practitioners, only those who have reached the Heavenly Dark Realm could float relying on Dark Power. If the Fire Dragon were to descend, it would delay the journey, but having Lihua Xue "roll off" the airship would truly be tough on her.

The leader of the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group stepped forward, "Alchemist Yue, this seems quite difficult for her."

"Difficult? If I had lost just now, I'm sure Lihua Xue and your Blue Crystal people wouldn't feel the slightest difficulty. Shall we bet and accept the loss? Roll or not?" Yue Jinghua's aggressive tone made the Blue Crystal's old mercenaries quite embarrassed, and they turned to Ni Qianjun, seemingly pleaing for help.

Ni Qianjun also felt troubled, as Lihua Xue was also one of the elite members of the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group on this mission, and her Dark Techniques had some use in defeating the enemy.

Seeing Ni Qianjun looking troubled, Yue Jinghua chuckled, "Indeed, it's a bit difficult. How about this—I'll change the condition for the loser. Miss Hua Xue either leaves of her own accord the next time the Fire Dragon stops for supplies, or she walks three laps on the deck shouting 'I am a bandy-legged Luo'."

"Pfft," Ni Qianjun couldn't help but burst out laughing, his eyes on Yue Jinghua carried a hint of teasing and a touch of softness.

The barbarians and others beside them had long been disdainful of Lihua Xue's annoying pestering, and they all laughed out loud, with Old Teluo's face blooming like a chrysanthemum in amusement.

Only the people of the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group and Lihua Xue were furious, nearly steaming at the head, but she dared not argue anymore, knowing that if she continued to make a fuss, Ni Qianjun would really have her thrown off the ship.

Lihua Xue could only climb onto the deck and walk three laps as Yue Jinghua had said, muttering like the whine of a mosquito.

The Fire Dragon rose higher and higher, and eventually, Polo City turned into a black dot, left far below.
