With a “whoosh” sound, Lu Yuan narrowly dodged the incoming arrow.
Then his body flipped, several True Fires exploded, knocking away two more arrows coming diagonally from the side.
Finally, at this moment, he caught a breather, rolled several times, and stood near the city wall, gasping for air.
Lifting his eyes, he saw He Basheng raising another arrow in the distance, ready to shoot; as soon as he saw Lu Yuan settle down, he released the arrow without hesitation.
“Damn it!”
Seeing this, Lu Yuan cursed under his breath and beckoned with his hand, sending a ball of True Fire flying up.
In the midst of a booming sound, the incoming arrow was knocked away once again.
But in no time, more arrows arrived.
The archer on the other side was indeed an experienced one; once he seized an opportunity, his attacks were relentless and didn’t give his enemy any chance to breathe.
Even though Lu Yuan had only been fighting with He Basheng for a short time, he could already feel the immense pressure.
He knew that if he continued to drag it out, he would eventually be drained of True Pneuma by his opponent and ultimately lose in exhaustion.
‘I must find a way to break his arrow technique.’
As Lu Yuan dodged, he glanced up and saw the scarlet Divine Bow in his opponent’s hand, feeling a deep sense of apprehension.
In the past, when he had just started his career, he relied on his hunting bow and his superb archery skills to accumulate his initial wealth.
At that time, with a divine bow in hand, the world belonged to him.
It never occurred to Lu Yuan that now, after achieving Great Achievement in martial arts and entering the Inborn realm, he would be pushed to such a desperate situation by the same weapon he used to make a living in the beginning.
He Basheng’s archery skills were clearly not ordinary.
Most likely, the Inborn cultivation technique He Basheng practiced was related to archery; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so powerful.
Without breaking his arrow technique, it would be impossible to defeat him.
With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan’s eyes were deep, his figure constantly shifting, dodging two more arrows; then, he suddenly moved forward, traversing several dozens of feet, and approached He Basheng.
The latter’s reaction was equally swift.
The moment Lu Yuan came closer, He Basheng raised his hand and aimed an arrow at him.
Although the enemy approached quickly, He Basheng’s arrow was even faster.
He had confidence that his arrow would pierce the enemy’s body before he could get within 10 feet of him, killing him on the spot.
Although He Basheng didn’t know why Lu Yuan chose to do this, he knew that this was an excellent opportunity to win.
Seeing a glimpse of victory, a slight smile crept upon He Basheng’s lips.
However, just as he was about to release the bowstring and shoot through his opponent, a thundering sound suddenly rang in his ears; his head ached, and his vision was filled with stars as he was momentarily stunned.
Then, a swift golden light came from afar, like a bolt of lightning, traveling towards him at an unbelievable speed.
A sense of alarm sounded in He Basheng’s heart.
He instantly snapped out of his daze.
Without having time to think, he instinctively swayed his body to the side. Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his right hand as the Divine Bow he was holding tightly broke into two pieces, and the golden light brushed past it, slashing into the blue stone city wall behind him.
With a loud bang, the sturdy city wall cracked open, creating a large fissure that extended several dozens of feet before finally ceasing.
He Basheng landed and watched this scene, unable to help but inhale a cold breath.
If he had dodged a moment later, the golden light would’ve shattered him into dust.
Suppressing his astonishment, He Basheng quickly came to his senses, looked at his bleeding right arm, the broken Divine Bow on the ground, and set his gaze on Lu Yuan.
At this point, he could no longer grieve for the Divine Bow, which had accompanied him for decades. The Grand General of Zhou Country’s North Pillar State, stared at Lu Yuan somberly and said, “Cultivator!”
That’s right.
He Basheng had recognized both the thunderous sound just now and the golden light – both confirmed Lu Yuan’s identity as a cultivator, one who could wield magic, had been completely exposed.
Upon discovering this, He Basheng’s fighting spirit rapidly diminished, and all thoughts of battling it out with the enemy vanished.
Never would he have expected the enemy to be a cultivator!
Moreover, he was an Inborn Grandmaster with innate accomplishments in martial arts.
No wonder Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi had fallen into his hands.
Initially, He Basheng was puzzled, felt it was unfair, and even angered by the fact that these two had caused Zhou Country to lose face.
But after discovering Lu Yuan’s identity as a cultivator, his previous doubts, sense of injustice, and anger disappeared in an instant.
It wasn’t surprising for Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi – both injured and caught off guard – to have died at Lu Yuan’s hands after encountering a cultivator disguised as a martial artist.
However, such a death was somewhat unjust.
He Basheng sighed inwardly, and his wariness of Lu Yuan had reached an unprecedented height.
An Inborn Grandmaster alone was not frightening.
Even an ordinary cultivator, as long as they weren’t at the level of a Dao Master of the Six Great Dao Veins, wouldn’t be too terrifying either.
But if you combined both, then the threat posed by such a person would be unprecedentedly frightening.
At this point, Lu Yuan’s threat in He Basheng’s heart was on par with a martial artist in the Second Realm of Inborn.
“You actually managed to dodge that.”
Lu Yuan faced He Basheng’s gaze with a cold expression, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
He had tried the same combination of ambushes on Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi before and succeeded in killing them both without fail.
