Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Killing Two Birds with One Arrow (Subscription Request) Boom! The Flame Arrow streaked through like lightning, violently exploding in the void, fast to the extreme. Ding! The arrow trembled and then suddenly exploded. Amidst the roaring, intense flames erupted with a boom. Boom! "Ah..." A huge, agonizing scream came from Wu Lei’s mouth. His whole body was nearly pierced through, engulfed in intense flames. He struggled fiercely a few times before collapsing to the ground with a bang, dead. "Go!" Bai Ziyue commanded, leaping onto a fine horse. "Good... good..." Zhang Zhen seemed to return to his senses, nodding repeatedly and hastily following. The purple-clad woman appeared calm but couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times. In the dark night, shadows flickered, perhaps intimidated by Bai Ziyue’s mighty presence, no one dared to obstruct them any longer. In the dilapidated little town, even the walls seemed broken. The group easily charged out of the walls, heading towards East City County. ... As daylight broke, Bai Ziyue and his ten companions stopped on a small path. They had abandoned their carriage. Even the purple-clad woman was now riding a white horse, looking extremely stable. Compared to when Bai Ziyue first met her, she looked much better now, not intermittently coughing up blood as before. So, to avoid potential pursuit, they abandoned the conspicuous carriage tracks and rode fine horses to travel. The speed naturally increased significantly. However, the pursuit did not reduce accordingly. The ground was littered with bodies, scattered around, over a dozen in total. Clearly, they had just experienced a slaughter, killing the enemies who had come after them. "Young Master Bai, something’s not right. Previously, we were burdened by the carriage, traveling on the official road, slow speed, obvious target, intercepted and discovered, which was normal. But now, we’ve started taking small paths, changing direction several times, yet we’ve still been easily pursued. Something’s not adding up." Zhang Zhen said seriously. "It’s indeed strange." Bai Ziyue nodded, looking at the people on the ground. This was already the third wave of attacks they had encountered since leaving the small town. Although these people were not strong, none of them reached the Inner Power Realm, with the strongest only at the Peak of Inner Cultivation, they were easily killed, but it was truly frustrating. The speed was greatly affected as well. "Could there be a traitor?" In the Escort Agency, a martial artist at the Inner Power Realm tentatively spoke. This person was also one of the leaders of the escort, named Dong Zhengwu, adept with a Giant Axe, skilled in the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique, extremely fierce. As soon as he spoke, everyone’s expression changed, becoming suspicious. "Impossible, the brothers are all trustworthy, their families live in the Four Seas Escort Agency, it’s impossible to betray. As for Young Master Bai, that’s even less likely. We managed to escape thanks to Young Master Bai’s intervention." Zhang Zhen quickly shook his head, denying. "I think I know the reason." Bai Ziyue suddenly spoke, raising his head to look at the sky and said, "Look, those two eagles above, haven’t they been circling over us for far too long?" "Yes, since the morning, I’ve seen these two eagles, it’s now almost afternoon and they’re still... definitely because of their surveillance." Someone in the team said excitedly. Instantly, everyone’s expression turned serious, but then their brows furrowed. "Even if we know it’s those two creatures monitoring us, we can’t do anything. They’re too far away, at least three hundred feet high, sometimes as much as five hundred feet." Zhang Zhen shook his head in frustration. "If we don’t deal with these two creatures, we’ll surely face constant attacks from killers, but now..." Dong Zhengwu’s face showed helpless frustration. "I can take action, but if I do, my aura will leak, causing greater trouble. Demon Beasts, ghosts, all are possible. Although my strength has recovered somewhat, I can only exert a part of my power. If I encounter some powerful entities, it will be more troublesome. Of course, if there’s no other way, I’ll give it a try. As long as there aren’t any excessively powerful demons nearby, it shouldn’t be too dangerous." The purple-clad woman said after a moment of silence. "No need, leave it to me." Bai Ziyue shook his head, taking the longbow from his back. "This bow, though excellent, can only support the arrow shot up to eight hundred meters before running out of strength. Moreover, the two eagles above are not simple. Obviously, they’ve undergone bloodline evolution, becoming Beast King Eagles. Even if the Celestial Eagle King among the Eighteen Eagle Kings intervenes, it may be difficult to truly kill them..." Zhang Zhen glanced at Bai Ziyue’s longbow and shook his head. He had certainly thought of killing the two eagles with arrows before. But at three hundred feet high, a thousand meters away, it was too far and too high. Impossible to kill them with arrows. Even if Bai Ziyue possessed unrivaled strength surpassing the Celestial Eagle King, allowing him to shoot over a thousand meters. However, archery tests more than just distance; the greatest challenge lies in vision and precision. He had seen Bai Ziyue’s hands, fair as jade, clearly not the hands of a master archer. This alone made him shake his head, not to mention that these two eagles were Beast King Eagles, highly vigilant. Even if one was barely hit, the other would surely escape or fly higher into the sky, rendering the effort nearly useless. The others also looked doubtful. Though they were deeply convinced of Bai Ziyue’s strength, archery is utterly different from martial arts. "Give it a try, if it doesn’t work, Immortal Master Qing can still intervene." Bai Ziyue smiled lightly and didn’t mind; he then took out an arrow. Flame Arrow! This was the last Flame Arrow in his hand. He didn’t feel any regret in his heart and casually placed the Flame Arrow on the bowstring. Zhang Zhen and the others sighed even more. This technique, how different is it from a novice? When Bai Ziyue previously killed Wu Yan with one arrow, they already noticed that it wasn’t his archery skills that did the trick, but the power of the Flame Arrow itself. As for being able to hit with one arrow, that wasn’t something to be surprised about. It was only a few dozen meters; even an ordinary person could hit that distance, let alone Bai Ziyue whose strength had reached the peak of the Second-class Expert. But this time, it was entirely different. A distance over a thousand meters, the Beast King Eagles, and two of them at that... Bai Ziyue’s face turned solemn, his inner strength surged out, not only merging into the Flame Arrow but also spreading through the long bow in his hand. With force, he drew it back! Like a full moon, under immense power, even the bowstring creaked as if it was about to snap at any moment. His gaze fell upon the two eagles soaring in the sky. Each eagle was massive, with a wingspan of seven or eight meters when fully spread. But both were flying over a thousand meters above the ground, appearing quite small to the human eye. They would sometimes spread apart and sometimes converge, always hovering around, their cold eagle eyes watching the ground. The moment Bai Ziyue drew his bow, they even let out an eagle cry, seemingly with disdain. "Now!" Bai Ziyue held his breath, his inner strength surged, making the red glow on the Flame Arrow even more pronounced. Twang! Bai Ziyue released his hand. In an instant, the Flame Arrow shot out. Boom! The void roared, airwaves surged, reaching the extreme speed. This arrow had already broken the sound barrier. Screech! Only then did the two eagles sense something was wrong, flapping their wings desperately to escape. But it was too late. The moment the Flame Arrow passed between the two eagles, it arrived with a thunderous roar! Boom! The violent flames instantly spread out, engulfing both eagles fully. Their feathers incinerated almost instantly, the scorching heat continuously burning, with the exploding arrows like flying needles piercing their bodies. The two eagles died in an instant, then fell from the sky. Hit the targets! One arrow, two eagles! Only then did Bai Ziyue exhale, a look of excitement appearing on his face. "Hit the targets?" Zhang Zhen’s mouth gaped open, his eyes filled with disbelief. How could this be? Could it be that with increased strength, archery skills would also become stronger? But why were my archery skills still no better than when I was at the level of External Forging and Internal Cultivation? The others were also shocked. Immediately, admiration filled their eyes. They already deeply respected Bai Ziyue’s strength. But now, seeing Bai Ziyue display such extraordinary archery skills, hitting two eagles a thousand meters away with a single arrow, their respect turned into reverence. Even Miss Qing, her eyes glimmering, couldn’t help but glance at him more. Surprised and intrigued by his endless means. Bai Ziyue, noticing everyone’s looks, remained calm. Though he had never truly practiced archery, due to the Dharma Instinct from his spiritual eye technique, his eyesight had reached an extraordinary level. Not just a thousand meters, even five thousand or ten thousand meters, he could see clearly. Plus, with his strong spirit and sharp spiritual sense, as long as the power was sufficient, even without special training in archery, he could kill the Eagle King from a thousand meters away. Admittedly, the power of the Flame Arrow played a part, but that’s something the ordinary person couldn’t achieve. Even a First-class Expert couldn’t do it.
