Chapter 180: Myriad Arrows Strike

Fang... Fang Can is swallowing people!!!

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene before them.

Fang Can's chest suddenly opened wide, like a bloody maw, swallowing a person whole.

It seemed that because the space inside his body was not spacious, the white-clad maiden's pair of small feet were not fully encompassed at this moment, but instead protruded from Fang Can's chest.

Tight, warm...

Swallowed into Fang Can's body, the white-clad maiden felt her body wrapped in a large mass of warm, glowing flesh and blood.

At this moment, because Fang Can's internal organs had been emptied out, the inside of his body was completely hollow.

Her figure was slightly petite, just enough to fit.

As soon as she entered Fang Can's interior, the maiden felt her whole body go limp, with not a shred of strength left.

'No, I can't let them treat me like fish and meat like this; I must get out.'

Ignoring the first kiss she had just lost, the maiden forced herself to take a breath and began to chant inside Fang Can's body: "The wind is fierce, the sky... ugh—"

Before she could finish half her words, Fang Can's spine, like a living snake, surged straight in, blocking her remaining words dead.

Giving the maiden no chance to speak, the spine plunged deep, entering directly into the stomach.

After this maneuver, the small feet protruding from Fang Can's chest suddenly tensed, the toes inside the white boots curling up like they were having a cramp, as if something terrifyingly horrible was happening inside.

Kicking Xiang Longtao away with a fresh kick, Fang Can wiped his lips with some disgust, feeling quite repulsed by the idea of mutual help in adversity.

Although Fang Can had now reached two hundred kills, this was the first time besides the one at the martial arts hall with Ye Qingshi that he had used his mouth.

Meanwhile, during this delay, several li away, the elven maiden with her bow drawn and arrow nocked had already locked onto this location.

On the ancient iron bow pulled to its limit, an arrow radiating Jin Guang quietly materialized.

This was the Arrow of the Heart, gathered from the power of thought.

Watching Fang Can and dozens of Chu martial artists, the maiden released her taut bowstring.

As a visible pale white ripple spread through the air, amidst a gale, this arrow had already broken the sound barrier.

So fast that only a streak of golden light could be seen flashing suddenly beneath the dark clouds.

At the instant the arrow was released, Fang Can felt every hair on his body stand on end; he grabbed a Chu martial artist beside him and pulled him in front of himself.

From a distance, the thousands of meters were covered in a few breaths.

The golden light flashed and lightly struck the martial artist in front of Fang Can, then—

Boom!!!

Accompanied by violent tremors like a missile bombardment, a five-meter-wide deep pit began to form amidst the dust and smoke.

Looking at the shattered ground, Fang Can was certain that the power of this arrow was already eighty percent of his current strength.

If he had taken this move point-blank, he wouldn't have died, but shedding a layer of skin was highly likely.

'Another martial artist breaking through the Ascension Path level?'

Fang Can's lips curled slightly upward as he slowly swallowed the struggling small feet on his chest, his eyes lighting up completely.

The Chu martial artists present felt a burning sensation in their chests, but their bodies remained unharmed.

Although used as human shields, even Fang Can's full-strength strike could not seriously injure them, let alone this mere arrow.

"Fang Can, you are doomed." A flicker of excitement flashed in Xiang Longtao's eyes.

Right now, the number of attackers would only keep increasing, and with the protection of the Iron Chain Link, even a First Turn cultivator could not kill them, while Fang Can would only grow more exhausted the longer he fought.

The advantage was theirs; even if they had to give up the Grand Tournament championship, they must cut Fang Can down from his horse.

'Blocked?'

A hint of regret flashed in the elven maiden's eyes from afar; opportunities like this were extremely rare.

But it didn't matter; it was just a minor setback from a single arrow.

After breaking through the Ascension Path, the maiden had not chosen to use her Heart Light to create the 【One Shot, One Kill】 inheritance.

Instead, she directly used all her Heart Light to construct the Archery system after reaching First Turn.

In her eyes, for an archer, hitting the target was only natural.

If one handed the task of aiming and shooting over to an inheritance, what was the point of the hundreds of thousands of practice shots accumulated since childhood?

When you have no confidence in the arrow leaving your bowstring and hand the aiming over to an inheritance.

Doesn't that amount to admitting your own failure?

Moreover, as long as you shoot enough arrows with enough power, covering everything within your line of sight with firepower.

Then what does it matter if the aim is slightly off?

So... this breakthrough.

She spent all her spiritual light points on shot speed, power, and her own mana pool.

In front of Fang Can, the maiden's face remained calm, neither flinching nor dodging.

She simply drew her bow and nocked another arrow to continue aiming, only this time the speed was much faster.

"Roar! As an archer, being discovered and yet not running, but continuing to attack?"

Fang Can narrowed his eyes, staring at the maiden in the distance; the distance between the two of them was now only a few thousand steps.

Now it was a matter of whether Fang Can would arrive first, or be sniped by the opponent's arrows along the way.

'If one arrow misses, then ten arrows, a hundred arrows, a thousand arrows, ten thousand arrows...'

The white-clad maiden narrowed her eyes, abandoning the sneak attack, and instead chose to forcibly shoot Fang Can to death with widespread firepower coverage.

She drew her bow with her right arm, aiming at Fang Can who was currently engaged in battle with the Chu forces.

It was still a glowing arrow, but at the instant it left the string, it split into eighty-one arrows.

Each of these arrows was no less powerful than the one used in the previous sneak attack, like ten thousand meteors streaking across the night sky.

Yes, ten thousand!

Because after the first split arrow was fired, the girl paused not at all, immediately firing a second and then a third.

In the brief span of three breaths, dozens of Heart Arrows were loosed, each immediately splitting into eighty-one.

Arrow Dao Technique—Myriad Arrows Bombardment!

"Hahaha, Fang Can, your doom has arrived." Xiang Longtao laughed wildly, joining dozens of Great Chu martial artists in desperately entangling Fang Can to prevent his escape.

Seeing this, the believers outside helplessly covered their heads, feeling their own deity's words made him look somewhat like a clown.

They still remembered that before entering, they had debated whether Fang Can or Xiang Longtao was stronger.

The current situation now blatantly told them that Fang Can, fighting alone against Xiang Longtao plus dozens of others combined, still held the upper hand.

Even if these martial artists truly succeeded in delaying him, and Fang Can was ultimately blown to death by the arrows, it would still be a glorious defeat.

In short, Xiang Longtao had finished playing the clown.

Looking at the laughing Xiang Longtao, Fang Can sighed and said, "Do you really believe your iron chain linkage is invincible?"

"Compared to working in unison, haven't you discovered this inheritance has a fatal weakness?"

"Weakness? How is that possible!" That pale-faced martial artist shook his head, rejecting the claim.

"Do you know how the Battle of Red Cliffs was lost in the Romance?" Fang Can looked at the chains connecting the men behind him.

The pale youth noticed Fang Can's gaze: "Could it be the chains... but you cannot touch these chains."

"True, but you can touch them," Fang Can said with a smile.
