Lin Feng and the archer Meng Hai stood thirty meters apart, both gripping an arrow in their right hand, always poised on the bowstring, each observing the other, trying to gauge the other’s strength.
Xie Bing and the others, including the Eagle, said nothing, even Lin Xuan who had an arrow through his thigh suppressed his pain and remained silent, the atmosphere was oppressively tense.
At this moment, it was no longer a simple battle, but a life-and-death clash.
Xie Bing looked at Lin Feng, knowing both his and Lin Xuan’s soul power was long exhausted, and even their physical strength was depleted, they could only rely on Lin Feng now.
On the other hand, the Eagle watched Meng Hai, who was in his best state, but he was just a thief. Although a Demon Spirit Master, the Profound Eagle he refined only granted enhanced vision, not combat power, while Xie Bing had three people, making it no problem to trap him. Thus, the key to this battle was the duel between the two archers.
Whoever wins, survives!
"Not a Demon Spirit Master, how is this possible?"
Meng Hai’s gaze was cold, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Less than a minute had passed since Lin Feng shot down three men, and if a Demon Spirit Master undergoes demon transformation, they wouldn’t easily exit the transformation state, as transforming again consumes a lot of soul power, meaning that Lin Feng had just used archery to shoot one bow, two arrows!
Though Lin Feng’s face was obscured by a hat, preventing a clear view of his features, the faintly visible outline suggested this kid was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old with better archery skills than him, how could that be!
His martial arts talent was poor, but as an archer, he had been practicing archery for 30 years, nearly twice this kid’s age!
In Senhai, his strength wasn’t the greatest, but he was confident in his archery, rarely beaten by anyone, yet now, facing Lin Feng, he had no confidence left.
"A Demon Spirit Master?"
Seeing the masked man’s performance, Lin Feng could judge that this archer had a higher status, likely the captain. For Demon Spirit Masters, even martial arts geniuses find it hard to make them submit. A captain who could be a Demon Spirit Master was undoubtedly also one.
Unlike Meng Hai’s apprehension and unease, Lin Feng was relaxed. As long as the strength gap wasn’t huge, one-on-one, he feared no archer, not even those with refined demon spirits.
Lin Feng and Meng Hai locked eyes, both calm, entering a combat state, one indifferent, the other cold.
Whoosh!
The next moment, both sprinted, drawing their bows and shooting arrows, dual arrows flew from their bowstrings, swift as lightning!
In this first exchange of shots, it was obvious Meng Hai’s power was superior, the black arrow carrying fierce splendor appeared first before Lin Feng, who slightly tilted his head, the arrow passing before his eyes, tousling his hair, its sharpness making Lin Feng squint, while evading, Lin Feng had already drawn his bow, firing his second arrow.
Meanwhile, Meng Hai easily dodged Lin Feng’s arrow, simultaneously, a cyan light appeared at his brow, quickly spreading backward, his hair began to grow long and cyan, his appearance astonishingly transformed, also with a hooked nose, upper lip curved, his pitch-black pupils turning cyan-gray, sprouting a pair of cyan wings on his back, gently fluttering.
Upon completing demon transformation, Lin Feng’s second arrow appeared before him, as he watched the approaching arrow, his cyan-gray pupils flickered, his head slightly tilted back, quickly dodging, with the transformation he could already track the arrow’s trajectory.
"Third Grade Cyan Feathered Eagle!"
Lin Feng’s eyes flickered, just as he suspected, the opponent was a Demon Spirit Master.
It wasn’t surprising for it to be an eagle type demon spirit, for an archer, no demon spirit is more suitable than an eagle type, its superior vision crucial to archers, combined with flying ability, few archers choose other demon spirits.
Flying demon beasts are hard to hunt, unless a Martial Artist refines a flying demon spirit or acquires flying skills, they must break through to Ninth Grade, becoming Martial King, to gain flying ability. Among all flying demon beasts, eagle type beasts are among the hardest to hunt, thus eagle type demon spirits are more expensive than others, with a price difference of several folds, even tenfold, extremely rare, nearly invisible in the market, since once they appear, they’re immediately bought.
Lin Feng was surprised that this group of five had two eagle type Demon Spirit Masters.
"Die!"
Meng Hai drew his bowstring, facing Lin Feng with a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, the first exchange revealed Lin Feng’s power, astonishingly not a Martial Artist, but a Body Cultivator realm.
Body Cultivator Ninth Rank, or Body Cultivator Eighth Rank!
To say a Body Cultivator realm Divine Archer would make people laugh their heads off, as there could be none in the world.
He didn’t understand how Lin Feng, so young, could have such archery skills, but he knew, if Lin Feng’s martial arts talent was excellent, were he to refine a demon spirit, even a Middle Grade spirit, when grown, he’d surely become an archer feared by all.
At this moment, Meng Hai’s heart surged with intense jealousy, along with a sliver of delight!
Such a peerless archery genius was going to die under his arrow.
Originally having some dread for Lin Feng’s archery, after entering demon transformation, with superior vision, he could track the arrow’s path, whereas a Body Cultivator realm Martial Artist, no matter how strong in archery, couldn’t threaten him.
