Chapter 896: Chapter 48: An Astounding Arrow (Part 2)

Qing Qiang secretly felt smug.

A waste is just a waste.

Earlier I thought this woman had so brains, but now it seems she’s still a straw bag and a cowardly fool.

What use is having a Ruyi Bow?

If your archery is terrible, it’s terrible. Even with a golden saddle on a limp horse, it’s useless.

Donghuang Sheng has already missed four arrows. No matter how well Qing Qiang performs in the final shot, what difference does it make?

There’s no telling what might happen if Donghuang Sheng really finishes last. Would they actually kill the princess from the Donghuang Dynasty?

"Thank you for your kind offer, Consort Qing, but if my shot is off, will you take my punishnt for ?" Yun Sheng turned around with a smile, but there was no trace of gratitude in her eyes.

Qing Qiang sneered, "You’re ungrateful. Let’s see how you handle it afterward."

Yun Sheng calmly picked up an arrow again, drew the bow, and released the arrow.

Beside the target, Director Song’s hand was already poised to act.

As the arrow whizzed through the air, Director Song’s brow furrowed, as though he sensed sothing.

He relaxed his grip, the fighting spirit he’d gathered, retracted.

With a loud "boom," as Yun Sheng’s arrow pierced the target, the over half-ter tall target shook as if struck by a fist.

The hundred or so arrows shot into the target earlier jumped and fell to the ground.

On the entire target, only Yun Sheng’s lonely arrow remained, particularly striking.

The arrow hit dead center.

Precisely a bullseye.

"!"

"!!"

Everyone, except Dugu Xiu, was utterly stunned.

"The five arrows are done; would Director Song announce the result?"

Yun Sheng blinked at Director Song, not missing the surprise in his eyes.

Others might not have noticed, but because Director Song was close to the target, when Yun Sheng shot the final arrow, he clearly saw that as the arrow pierced the target, the other four arrows exploded.

The arrows fell to the ground, unnoticed was the fact that the four arrows Donghuang Sheng shot earlier had been reduced to powder, and it was the strength within those arrows that knocked down the others.

Donghuang Sheng’s childish manner of haphazardly shooting four arrows earlier precisely targeted the four corners of the target, subtly including all arrows on the target.

Was it intentional or accidental, or had Donghuang Sheng been confident all along?

Director Song’s face remained calm, but inside, he was overwheld with emotion.

What kind of power could be stored in an arrow and explode at a timing?

Fighting spirit? Magic Power?

It seed to be neither.

Isn’t the Princess from the Donghuang Dynasty supposed to be a straw bag and a waste, or is there a terrifying cultivation technique hidden within her?

No one would guess that Yun Sheng had used the Dark Needle Power from the dical Soul Divine Needle of the Yan Family.

Yun Sheng currently lacks magical power, but she still possesses her family’s heritage technique. At the mont of releasing the arrow, she’d already placed the Dark Needle Power within the arrow.

The purpose of the final arrow was to activate the Dark Needle Power in the previous four arrows, causing the other arrows to fall.

But compared to guessing what cultivation technique the Princess used, there’s a more pressing issue for Director Song.

And that is, how to judge this competition.

Now only one arrow remains on the target, which ans everyone else scored zero, only the Princess with ten points.

"Donghuang Sheng, what kind of competition is this? You knocked all the arrows off; how is Director Song supposed to announce the results?" Qing Qiang was the first to lose composure.

Earlier, Director Song had stated not to remove the arrows; everyone’s scores remained unrecorded.

The intention was to increase the difficulty, making the competition’s outco clear.

But who would have thought it would end with just one arrow left, a peculiar result?

Qing Qiang was dissatisfied, extrely dissatisfied.

Originally, it was supposed to be her victory, but Donghuang Sheng’s interference changed everything.

Although she was also bewildered, wondering how Donghuang Sheng, a "waste," managed to knock everyone’s arrows off.

Was it coincidence or ticulously executed?

However, apart from the Ruyi Bow, everyone used the sa arrows, and it was the sa target. The Ruyi Bow had been checked by Director Song earlier and revealed no anomalies.

"Haha, Consort Qing, it’s not up to you to determine the judgnt. Director Song is the judge, and the outco is up to him," Yun Sheng smiled slightly, looking toward Director Song.

"The Princess is correct; I have ford a conclusion. According to the rules outlined prior, the winner of this competition is the Princess, and as for the last place..." Director Song’s gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on Young Madam Qing.

"The last place is Young Madam Qing. Initially, all arrows were off-target, which should have resulted in a no-win situation. However, considering that all other arrows fell during the competition, but Young Madam Qing had one arrow miss during shooting, so she lost this match." As Director Song finished speaking, Young Madam Qing was so frightened she fell to the ground.

"This isn’t fair; my score was obviously higher than the Princess’s," Young Madam Qing’s face was ashen.

"Does anyone else have objections to this result?" Director Song gazed around.

With Director Song speaking and the outco obvious, who could dare to object?

Emperor Dugu Sheng and Dugu Xiu both wore indifferent expressions.

Qing ng and Qing Qiang, brother and sister, were pale, looking pleadingly toward Empress Qing.

Young Madam Qing belongs to the Qing Residence, and today’s won’s competition was suggested by Empress Qing herself. She originally intended to use this opportunity to undermine Donghuang Sheng.

Even if she couldn’t remove Donghuang Sheng, she intended to embarrass her greatly; who would have known it was Young Madam Qing who beca the scapegoat?

If she sits back and does nothing, Empress Qing’s future reputation would be tarnished.

"Your Majesty..." Empress Qing began to speak.

Emperor Dugu Sheng was also finding it quite troubleso, clearly seeing today’s competition was Empress Qing’s way to give the soon-to-be daughter-in-law, the Princess Donghuang, a warning.

He had not intervened earlier because he wanted to test "Princess Donghuang" to see if she could handle it.

He was very pleased with Donghuang Sheng’s performance.

"Empress, the outco is decided. I cannot arbitrarily change the rules of the azalea banquet. Today’s winner is the Princess, and Young Madam Qing’s fate will be determined by the Princess." Dugu Sheng rubbed his temples.

Empress Qing clenched her teeth, inwardly cursing Dugu Sheng for leaving it to her to beg Donghuang Sheng.

Empress Qing reluctantly spoke, "Princess, could you spare Young Madam Qing for my sake once? You should know that in terms of relationship, she is your future cousin by marriage."
