Chapter 322

As the arrowhead landed in the bronze pot, one could hear a pin drop in the gambling house.

It seemed as if everyone had even held their breath.

It went in!

It actually went in.

Yuan Shao was overjoyed!

His gaze turned toward Duan Yu.

However, Duan Yu, having landed one arrow, did not stop his pace.

Instead, he continued to walk forward.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps!

Four steps!

Five steps!

Just as Duan Yu took his fifth step, he stopped.

He turned and threw.

The movement was clean and crisp, still without aiming.

*Ding-dong! *

The arrowhead again landed steadily in the bronze pot.

The tail of the arrow wobbled on the edge of the pot.

*Hiss! *

A sound of gasping echoed through the gambling house.

Accuracy was one thing.

But Duan Yu hadn't even aimed.

He released it the moment he turned.

What was even more exaggerated was that Duan Yu's pace hadn't stopped; he was still walking.

However, the first floor of the gambling house had come to an end.

There was no more road to walk.

Just when everyone thought Duan Yu would stop and then release the third arrow.

Duan Yu's footsteps led him directly toward the second floor of the gambling house.

What was he doing?

Everyone in the gambling house widened their eyes at this moment.

Duan Yu, in his black robe, walked up to the second floor with his hands behind his back, as if strolling in a garden.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.

Just like that, step by step, without stopping.

Until he had reached the very last step of the second floor.

Everyone's eyes were fixed tightly on Duan Yu.

All were waiting for that moment when Duan Yu would turn and release.

However, a scene that surprised everyone appeared.

This time, Duan Yu didn't even make the motion of turning.

The arrowhead held between his two fingers was flicked out directly.

A blind shot!

*Whoosh! *

This time, the arrowhead emitted a sharp whistling sound, shooting toward the third bronze pot at an inclined angle rather than a parabolic arc.

*Ding-dong! *

*Pfft! *

As everyone expected.

The third arrow went in as well.

Yet this was not the most surprising part.

What surprised everyone in the gambling house was.

This arrow of Duan Yu's not only shot into the bronze pot, but it pierced directly through it, pinning the pot diagonally into the floor.

"Good!"

"Amazing, truly amazing!"

"Splendid!"

"Bravo!"

In an instant, countless heartfelt cheers erupted in the gambling house.

They had seen plenty of pot-tossing.

Many who were proficient in this art were very accurate.

But to reach Duan Yu's level, let alone the people in the gambling house, they hadn't even heard of it.

Such a great distance.

No aiming required.

Even a blind shot.

And he used only the strength of his fingers to pierce the bronze pot.

How great was the power of this arrow?

What would happen if it landed on a person?

The cheering wasn't to intimidate Yuan Shu or to take sides.

It was just heartfelt applause.

"Ziyi's archery is divine, peerless under heaven!" Yuan Shao shouted excitedly.

"Awesome, awesome, truly awesome!" Cao Cao gave a thumbs up to Duan Yu, who was standing on the stairs.

Xu You stroked his beard and praised: "They say Ziyi shot and killed the Xianbei Chanyu Kuitou with one arrow; many in Luoyang didn't believe it."

"After today, I fear no one will doubt it anymore."

"Ziyi's divine archery is comparable to Hou Yi!"

Yuan Shu was also dumbfounded.

Duan Yu's performance directly left Yuan Shu speechless and dumbfounded.

This level of skill left no room for any excuse or rebuttal.

He had lost.

He had lost in a crushing defeat.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Shu flicked his sleeve.

Then he shoved past Yuan Shao, who was blocking his way, and walked out of the gambling house without looking back.

There was no thunderous rage after being unable to accept defeat.

Arrogant as he was, Yuan Shu was not stupid.

If he continued to make excuses or refused to accept the loss, it would only invite ridicule.

It was better to be clean and decisive.

The moment he walked out of the gambling house, Yuan Shu looked back at Yuan Shao viciously: "You win this time."

"Haha!" Yuan Shao laughed heartily.

At this time, Duan Yu also walked down from the stairs.

Yuan Shao excitedly stepped forward and patted Duan Yu's arms: "Ziyi's archery is divine, peerless under heaven, peerless under heaven! Today, I and everyone here have witnessed it, witnessed it!"

As he spoke, Yuan Shao went to the gold cakes left behind by Yuan Shu and said, "These thousand gold are Ziyi's."

A thousand gold. ===== CHAPTER 324 =====

A thousand gold.
