Chapter 92: Is This a Devil?

"The seventh." Lu Yu was expressionless, whispering to himself. At this moment, twenty-five enemies remained.

The heaven-shaking shouts of battle rolled in like a surging tide; even from four or five hundred meters away, Lu Yu could clearly feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly.

He shifted his focus, instantly activating the "Aiming" skill.

In an instant, a gentle sensation surged into his eyes, and the scenes within seven hundred meters and beyond seven hundred meters appeared to him like two completely different worlds.

The figures of the horse bandits galloping wildly seemed like slow motion in a movie, their speed appearing to have been slowed by nearly half.

"Snap!" With a crisp sound, another arrow shot out like lightning.

The few horse bandits charging at the very front saw this and hurriedly raised the Shields in their hands high, attempting to block this Fatal arrow.

Unfortunately, they guessed wrong; the target of this arrow was not them at all.

Accompanied by a shrill scream, a horse bandit was struck by the arrow and fell straight from his horse.

"This bastard!" The horse bandits behind saw this, gnashing their teeth in anger, filled with hatred.

"The bow in this guy's hand has a draw weight of at least two hundred jin, otherwise how could the range be so far!"

"What are you afraid of! Once we charge over, a round of Volley will shoot him into a sieve!"

"Killing him just like that is letting him off too easy! I'm going to skin him and pull out his tendons!"

A dozen or so horse bandits cursed angrily. In their view, as long as they put in a little more effort and charged into their own range, the person on the other side would surely die.

However, they soon noticed that something was wrong.

They saw that the guy was actually running wildly along an arc! In this way, if they wanted to close the distance with him, they had to frequently adjust their direction, otherwise they would only get further and further away.

Moreover, the Shields held by the people in front had completely lost their function, and everyone was fully exposed, becoming living targets.

Thus, every one or two seconds, the sound of a bowstring would come from afar, and an arrow would suddenly shoot over from the side.

In just five or six seconds, three more horse bandits were struck by arrows, the arrows piercing directly through their chests; it was clear they were beyond saving.

"Damn it!" The group of horse bandits roared at the sky, their pent-up fury having nowhere to vent, and instead, they were exhausted by the chase, falling into an extremely awkward situation.

"Don't panic!" Just then, a low voice came from the front, "If this guy runs like this, his stamina will soon be exhausted, keep chasing!"

"Yes!" Hearing this, the crowd seemed to be struck by a sudden realization and instantly sobered up.

That's right, whether it was running wildly or drawing a bow to shoot, both were extremely draining on physical strength, not to mention he was doing both at the same time?

Time ticked away second by second, and several more horse bandits were struck by arrows and fell from their horses; Liu Dong, who was charging at the very front, was burning with anxiety.

More than ten seconds had passed, and the distance between the two sides was still maintained at over four hundred meters; if this continued, it was possible that everyone except himself would be worn to death by the other party like flying a kite.

Could it be that with so many people on their side, they really couldn't do anything about one person?

Suddenly, Liu Dong's eyes lit up, and a look of wild joy instantly appeared on his face; he turned and shouted at the dozen or so people behind him: "Everyone put in more effort! That guy can't run anymore!"

Behind him, the team that originally had over twenty people now had fewer than fifteen, and a look of fear was faintly visible in everyone's eyes.

Hearing Liu Dong's words, their Spirit was instantly boosted.

That's right, Lu Yu did indeed feel that he was reaching his limit.

His arms could still barely hold up, but his lungs felt like they were on fire; every breath he took was agonizingly painful.

Constantly running at full speed to open up distance, then slowing down to shoot, then accelerating to open up distance again, and slowing down to shoot—at this moment, he felt he had reached the limit of his physical endurance.

"Then let's break through!" At this critical juncture, Lu Yu steeled his heart.

In an instant, it felt as if a shackle within his body had been shattered; with a "Boom," a vast, incomparable heat flow surged out from his heart like a volcanic eruption.

His previously exhausted body was instantly filled with unprecedented strength in every muscle!

But at this moment, he had no time to feel the other changes in his body, because in just one or two seconds, the distance between the two sides had been closed by fifty or sixty meters, and the horse bandits behind were already impatiently drawing their bows and arrows.

"Whoosh!" A sharp sound of breaking air rang out, and seven or eight arrows covered the area toward Lu Yu like raindrops.

Seeing this, a cold sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth. Even without the assistance of the Aiming skill, he didn't take the arrows shot from over three hundred meters away seriously at all.

The next second, his figure moved like lightning, darting out violently, and within a few breaths, he had opened up the distance by another ten-plus meters.

"What?" The original ferocious grin on Liu Dong's face instantly froze, replaced by a look of utter astonishment.

How is this possible? This guy was clearly exhausted, at the end of his rope, how did he suddenly return to his peak state? No, his speed seemed even faster than before!

Could it be that this guy is an Awakened? A strong sense of fear welled up from the bottom of Liu Dong's heart.

"Ah!" Another scream came.

"The twenty-second." Lu Yu glanced at the ten horse bandits still chasing wildly and continued to circle along the arc.

"Are we... are we really going to keep chasing?" In front, a horse bandit holding a Shield looked at Liu Dong and asked with a trembling voice.

"B-Big Brother, how about... we retreat?" They were truly terrified.

Watching their companions fall one after another under the other's arrows, if they kept chasing like this, they would not escape death either.

"Ah!" Another scream.

"Twenty-three, that's about enough." After Lu Yu finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, aimed at an archer behind him, and fired an arrow; the opponent fell to the ground in response.

"Twenty-four." Then, he quickly drew the bowstring again, aiming at the next target.

At this time, only eight horse bandits remained, and there were very few archers left; Lu Yu felt there was no longer any need to use the kite-flying tactic.

This scene left Qin Hai, who had been closely observing the situation from afar, as well as Liu Dong and the others, who were already filled with fear and planning to retreat, completely stunned.

Qin Hai opened his mouth in surprise. What is Lu Yu doing? Wasn't the previous tactic very effective? Why not continue, and instead choose a head-on confrontation?

"Big Brother?" Some horse bandits couldn't believe their eyes.

Why did that person stop? Is he unable to run anymore? But the lesson from last time was still fresh in their minds, and they dared not believe it easily again.

"Charge!" Liu Dong roared. Run? Within the enemy's range, leaving one's back to a master archer was simply extremely stupid.

At this point, he had no time to think about what was going on. Hesitation meant only death!

"Charge!"

"Charge!" The few horse bandits behind him were also infected by his momentum, their blood boiling, and they shouted along.

In just a single breath, the few of them closed the distance to within 300 meters.

"Snap!" The shield in the hand of the horse bandit charging at the very front was shattered instantly by an arrow; the arrow pierced through his chest, and the powerful impact carried his entire body flying backward.

"!" Several horse bandits nearby saw this, their eyes wide with rage, teeth gritted in hatred.

"Charge!"

"Keep charging!"

However, not even a second later, another horse bandit was shot through along with his shield, his whole body flying high into the air before crashing down several meters away. Immediately following, a third arrow, a fourth arrow, a fifth arrow...

In the eyes of the horse bandits, the movements of Lu Yu's hands were so fast they were dizzying and impossible to see clearly, as if he were performing magic; the moment one arrow was fired, the next was already nocked on the string.

In the blink of an eye, only three of the eight men remained.

"B-big brother..." The two remaining archers' bodies trembled violently and uncontrollably; even though the distance between the two sides had already closed to 200 meters, their hands simply could not pull back their bowstrings!

Is this guy a devil? This rate of fire is just too terrifying, isn't it?
