Chapter 215 – Let You Shoot Ten Thousand Arrows, I'll Break Them All With One Arrow!

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The day of the duel arrived swiftly.

Night fell.

Figures crisscrossed the shores of Lishui Lake.

Though it was nearly midnight, the clamor of voices persisted…

Observation platforms had been erected, and as far as the eye could see, crowds swarmed everywhere. High-powered searchlights pierced the night sky, and beside the grassy areas, many families had gathered for picnics.

Laughter and cheerful chatter filled the air, turning what should have been a silent night into a boiling cauldron of noise.

“Fresh grilled corn! Still hot!”

“When will the duel start!?”

“Look over there—the Star Martial Police Department has cordoned off the area!”

“I heard Third Ring Road was jammed for hours today, all because of out-of-towners!”

…

Amid the chaotic voices.

Rows of Star Martial Police Department armored vehicles lined the roadside, forming a barrier and struggling to maintain order on the scene.

On the distant roads, even more spectators were rushing toward Lishui Lake!

The tide of people surged forward.

The queue had already stretched across several blocks!

“Everyone! Stay alert and maintain vigilance!!”

The Police Inspector Commander stood by the lake, pressing his walkie-talkie as he issued orders to his officers over the channel, “Keep your eyes peeled! Today is the duel between the Arrow God and the mysterious expert. No Evil Cultists are allowed to enter!”

“Copy that!”

A reply came through the walkie-talkie.

Reassured by the response, the Commander turned to Elder Li standing beside him and expressed his gratitude, “We’re short-handed at the Police Department lately. Thank you for sending volunteers from Jianghai Martial Arts Academy.”

Over the past three days, the influx of people rushing to Jianghai had overwhelmed the city, putting immense pressure on traffic and crowds, which in turn strained the Police Department’s resources.

He had no choice but to seek external support.

He had borrowed many volunteer students from Elder Li…

“No trouble at all, Commander. Those kids are thrilled about it.”

Elder Li stood with his hands behind his back, stroking his white beard and smiling as he observed the temporary platforms around them. “After the duel, spots by Lishui Lake will be priceless. They get to watch up close—they’re all excited.”

As he spoke, Elder Li gazed at the bustling crowd and sighed with emotion:

“Has Lishui Lake been this lively since the last Blood Demon battle?”

“Yes, it feels like so long ago already…”

Hearing this, the Commander scanned the sea of people around him, his mind drifting into reminiscence.

It had been a long time since the Jianghai Sword God last took action.

But after the Bloodthirsty Leech incident, lingering repercussions remained.

Back then, it was on this very lake that the Jianghai Sword God had drawn his sword and slain the Bloodthirsty Leech personally.

Filthy blood had splattered across the sky.

After it fell into Lishui Lake, it sparked widespread fear among the citizens.

Since then, Lishui Lake had grown much quieter.

“I recall your Star Martial Police Department put a lot of effort into addressing the aftermath, didn’t you?”

Elder Li turned to the Commander, shaking his head. “You were quite troubled for a while back then…”

“Yes… we worked hard at it.”

The Police Inspector Commander nodded, a bitter smile crossing his face. “After the Bloodthirsty Leech died, Lishui Lake’s reputation was never the same.

Everyone worried about the water quality. No matter how much we promoted it, we couldn’t erase their prejudices… But thankfully, this duel is happening here now. It might help ease their fears.””Indeed, for this Arrow God duel, the citizens naturally unconditionally support the Arrow God.”

Elder Li looked up at the sky upon hearing this: “This scheduled battle has me utterly excited.”

Just then.

Suddenly!

A loud cheer interrupted their conversation.

“Jianghai Arrow God!! Go!!”

The sound wave thundered across the lake surface.

In an instant, it actually overwhelmed all the cheers around Lishui Lake.

“Who’s there?”

The Commander frowned at the sound. As the one maintaining order, he needed to manage the situation, but now within the venue—

“Stay calm, Commander. It’s not the Heretical Cultists… It’s that girl Qinghe.”

Elder Li said with a smile, following the sound to look toward the source of the cheers.

By the shore.

Li Qinghe wore a pink cheerleader outfit, freely displaying her slender figure with porcelain-white thighs. Surrounded entirely by beautiful women waving golden-red pom-poms, she was extremely eye-catching.

A conspicuous banner hung above their heads.

[Jianghai Arrow God Must Win!!]

……

“Hehe, with this performance… Martial Grandfather should definitely notice me now, right?”

In the cheerleading squad, Li Qinghe waved her pom-poms while eagerly looking up at the night sky, waiting for Jianghai Arrow God’s arrival.

Behind her were all her girlfriends.

With drums and gongs roaring.

The atmosphere was instantly maximized!!

“Once Martial Grandfather arrives and sees this scene, my plan to elevate my status will succeed!!”

Thinking this, Li Qinghe turned to her girlfriends behind her and continued stirring up excitement:

“Everyone, louder! It’s still too quiet!!”

“Okay!!”

The crescent moon climbed higher in the sky, and amid the cheering crowd, the atmosphere quickly peaked.

Time swiftly reached the scheduled midnight hour.

Beside Lishui Lake.

People collectively lowered their voices, looking up at the sky in unison, patiently waiting.

Moments later.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound tore through the heavens!

A figure carrying a bow streaked across the night sky, cloaked in moonlight.

It was Liu Wushuang arriving first.

He descended stepping on clouds, drifting slowly to a position above, scanning the crowd below. Instantly, he froze in slight confusion.

“???”

“So many people?”

Liu Wushuang looked down at the crowd below, countless gazes returning and focusing entirely on him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he felt momentarily bewildered.

Over the past three days, he had been busy preparing for the duel with the Arrow God and hadn’t paid much attention to outside matters. Seeing the crowd by the lakeside left him somewhat perplexed.

“Could it be…”

“Is today some holiday!?”

Liu Wushuang’s gaze swept over the crowd below, landing on the cheer squad’s banner, his face darkening.

[Jianghai Arrow God Must Win!!!]

The glaring banner was dazzling.

All around Lishui Lake, there were cheers exclusively for Jianghai Arrow God!!

“Is this cheering for Qin Yang’s Martial Uncle?”

Liu Wushuang slowly landed at the center of the lakeside, ripples spreading across the water. Hearing the sounds around him, he felt puzzled.

The news had spread far too quickly.

Judging by this scale, it seemed the entire city knew. If the impact grew larger, it might become difficult for him to withdraw gracefully.

“Hmph, it seems they want to pressure me?”

Liu Wushuang pondered, though inwardly he remained unconcerned.

“What ‘Jianghai Arrow God Must Win’?!”

“I will definitely defeat him!!”

Just as Liu Wushuang was thinking this.

Suddenly!

Another powerful aura approached, rapidly closing in from the southeast direction.

Ripples spread across Lishui Lake’s surface.Everyone followed the sound and looked over in unison.

Up in the sky.

Qin Yang arrived as promised, clad in white robes, appearing like an immortal descending under the cold moonlight.

As soon as he appeared, the crowd below instantly erupted.

“He’s here!!”

“The Jianghai Arrow God has finally appeared!”

“Victory is assured!!!”

…

Meanwhile.

In a residential district thousands of miles away.

A television was broadcasting the event live. A little white-haired girl swung her tail, hopping and jumping excitedly in front of the screen.

“Master, you must keep your promise!”

Xiaobai gripped her Phone, staring intently at the website with trembling hands from excitement.

The moment Qin Yang appeared, the odds on the website surged again, with bets on the Jianghai Arrow God’s victory reaching their peak!!!

“As long as Master keeps his promise, this Fairy can achieve financial freedom!!”

Xiaobai remained in front of the television, her excitement growing even more intense.

…

At Lishui Lake, the cheers of the crowd had ignited,

“……”

“So you are the Jianghai Arrow God?”

Liu Wushuang ignored the commotion below, frowning with crossed arms as he observed Qin Yang’s attire. “I’ve been searching for you tirelessly these past days, and finally, you’ve arrived!”

“Indeed, it is I.”

Qin Yang flicked his white sleeves dismissively. “You sent a message through my junior apprentice the other day. Now that I’m here, I only hope that after today, you’ll cease troubling a mere junior.”

“Rest assured.”

Liu Wushuang shook his head, recalling the events of recent days with some guilt. “I acted rashly, but it was out of necessity. I’ll compensate your junior apprentice afterward.”

As his words fell.

“Since that’s settled, let’s dispense with pleasantries.” Qin Yang calmly retrieved the Sun-Shooting Bow. “Let’s begin directly.”

He then looked at Liu Wushuang and declared solemnly:

“Since we both wield bows, let us decide the outcome with a single arrow!”

“Excellent! Straight to the point!”

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony!”

With these words.

Both simultaneously retreated, creating a distance of several hundred zhang between them.

They raised their bows and nocked arrows.

Hum—

In an instant!

Lishui Lake radiated with brilliant light, forcing everyone to shield their eyes as they strained to see the scene within. A powerful aura swept through, causing the lake water to boil and steam.

“……”

Liu Wushuang raised his Dark Bow high, drawing the bowstring to its fullest before releasing a fierce shot toward the sky.

In the next moment.

Countless starlights converged at the arrow’s tip.

Whoosh!

The arrow soared into the heavens, each movement shattering the void as a terrifying aura spread, piercing straight into the clouds before…

Splash!

The arrow split into thousands of copies, all descending upon Qin Yang’s head.

A chaotic rain of arrows!

All converging to strike Qin Yang simultaneously!

In the next instant, they were about to reach his face.

“Well met.”

Qin Yang’s white robes billowed, yet he remained unflustered. Gripping the Sun-Shooting Bow, he focused his breath and spirit, aiming at the rain of arrows before drawing the bowstring he had been holding tightly.

In the next moment.

Whoosh!

A single arrow shot upward against the tide.

One against ten thousand, like a lone bird in a storm.

Seemingly outmatched.

Everyone who witnessed this felt despair.

One arrow against ten thousand?

How could this possibly lead to victory?!

But before they could react.

They saw laws diffuse around that single arrow, Space Lockdown taking effect, directly guiding the ten thousand arrows to change course.

Countless arrows collectively reversed direction, soaring high into the sky.

They vanished directly into the void.

Ten thousand arrows, all nullified!

“This is the Arrow God’s arrow!”Lin Mofeng stared at the scene and shouted loudly, “He’s guiding Senior Wushuang’s arrows!!!”

Such a shocking sight left everyone speechless with astonishment.

“???”

When Liu Wushuang saw all the arrows filling the sky being effortlessly diverted by Qin Yang, he was instantly dumbfounded!

“We agreed on archery, but you’re sweeping away all my arrows… How the hell is this archery?!”
