Luo Chen heard this and burst into a hearty laugh, seemingly unfazed by Li Xin’s mockery. "I need to brag in front of a woman like you!" he retorted, then leisurely picked up a new sharp arrow, bent the bow, and shot again.
This ti, the arrow once again accurately hit the target, and another cavalryman scread as he fell off his horse. Luo Chen did not pause; he continued bending the bow and releasing arrows, each shot accurately claiming a life.
In just a few breaths, the bundle of arrows had been nearly used up by Luo Chen. The cavalry around the sand dune, terrified by this elusive archery, could only circle around the sand dune, no longer daring to co closer by even half a step.
Watching Luo Chen like a tireless machine, bending and shooting, with each arrow taking a life, Li Xin’s internal shock was beyond words. As an archery expert herself, she naturally saw that Luo Chen’s superb archery, his speed, and his accuracy were beyond her reach.
What shocked Li Xin even more was that the longbow Luo Chen used was not custom-made but just an ordinary longbow. It’s important to know that her own longbow was custom-made, requiring the Yi Arrow Skill to be used. A regular person couldn’t even draw the bowstring, let alone shoot arrows continuously like Luo Chen did.
Moreover, even using soul power to draw the bow and shoot is entirely different from actual combat and killing. Drawing the bowstring and hitting the target are two entirely different concepts, requiring high skills and experience. Yet Luo Chen achieved it, and he did so exceptionally well.
At this mont, Li Xin’s perception of Luo Chen changed dramatically. She no longer saw him as an ordinary person who only knew how to brag, but as a true expert in archery, a hero who could stand up in tis of peril to protect her.
As the number of cavalry decreased, Luo Chen’s shooting speed gradually slowed down. He took a deep breath, put down the longbow, and turned to look at Li Xin. At that mont, Li Xin was staring at him intently, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.
"What’s the matter? Are you shocked by my archery?" Luo Chen teased, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. After all, they hadn’t completely escaped danger and could be attacked again at any mont.
Li Xin said nothing, just nodded silently. She was indeed shocked by Luo Chen’s archery, but she also felt a sense of reassurance. With such a master by her side, her sense of security increased significantly.
"We need to get out of here quickly," Luo Chen said, packing up the longbow and remaining arrows before turning to look into the distance. "Although we have temporarily repelled these cavalry, they are likely to regroup and pursue us. We must find a safe place to hide."
Upon hearing this, Li Xin imdiately nodded in agreent. Her injuries had not yet healed, and her strength had greatly diminished. She needed Luo Chen’s protection to escape safely. So the two quickly packed their belongings and cautiously moved along the edge of the sand dune.
They dared not take the main road, instead opting for so secluded paths. Fortunately, Luo Chen was very familiar with this desert and quickly found a hidden hiding place—an ancient cave covered by wind and sand.
The two quickly entered the cave and hid. Luo Chen set up so simple traps and disguises at the cave entrance to ensure their hiding spot would not be easily discovered. anwhile, Li Xin nestled beside Luo Chen, feeling the security brought by this strange man. Despite once harboring hostility and suspicion towards Luo Chen, she now trusted him imnsely and even developed a strange affection.
After waiting in the cave for a long ti, the sound of hooves and clamoring finally ca from outside. Obviously, the cavalry had regrouped and began to search for their traces, but fortunately, they did not discover this hidden cave. After a round of searching, they gradually moved away, finally disappearing into the night.
In the vast desert between two armies, the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense. Hundreds of cavalry stood in formation, their long spears glittering coldly, armor reflecting the blinding light under the scorching sun. The soldiers were expressionless, only the viciousness in their eyes revealing their fighting spirit.
Suddenly, a sharp horn blast pierced the silence, and the cavalry moved almost simultaneously, releasing their gripped bows and arrows for a so-called barrage. In an instant, arrows rained down densely in one direction. These arrows had no precise target but relied on nurical superiority, attempting to create damage through a deluge of arrows.
