What was archery?
Archery was the art of killing.
Shooting an arrow was meant to kill. Its ultimate goal was to kill with one shot and kill the enemy. If every arrow wanted to kill, it had to be fast, ruthless, and accurate. At the same time, it had to be powerful enough to tear everything apart. Power was the foundation. Archery was the performance.
Shooting an arrow had to be ruthless and resolute.
The most basic archery was to shoot straight and hit the target a hundred steps away. When it reached a high level, the archery would be practiced to the heart and could easily shoot two arrows at the same time. Three arrows could still hit the target. It was a miraculous realm.
And now, this white bone arrow, with the huge power of the Meteor Bow, swept across a distance of tens of thousands of meters in an instant and appeared in front of the Golden Scarecrow.
"How dare you, grain thief. I won't let you have your way if you want to rob the grain."
In front of the flowing light, the golden scarecrow's reaction speed was extremely fast. The bamboo cane in its hand appeared in front of the white bone arrow at an inhuman speed and simply hit it with the cane.
Bang!!
There was a burst of bronze light on the bamboo cane. With one hit, the surrounding air exploded violently. The terrifying aftershock seemed to make the space tremble. The scene was rather frightening.
The power contained in the white bone arrow was more than five thousand kilograms.
The Meteor Bow, a grade one yellow-level bow, needed at least five thousand kilograms of strength to pull it open. Moreover, the range of five thousand kilograms of strength could only be pulled a little. To pull it completely, one would need at least forty to fifty thousand kilograms of strength. And this was only grade one yellow-level bow. The power needed to reach grade two would be even higher. For example, the arrow that was shot out now.
The power contained in it was no less than seventy to eighty thousand kilograms, or even more.
Coupled with the power of the vital energy and the piercing power of the air. All of these made the power contained in the arrow reach its peak. Even a black cauldron realm body cultivator would be pierced by this arrow, let alone a normal cultivator.
They would not be able to block the power of the arrow at all.
However, when the golden scarecrow's cane came down, the white bone arrow was destroyed inch by inch in front of it. It was directly smashed into powder. Even the raging power of flames contained in the arrow was forcibly destroyed.
It didn't even have the slightest bit of power before it was shattered just like that.
"What a powerful force, to be able to directly smash the white bone arrow into dust. This strength is already more than fifty thousand kilograms. Could it be that this scarecrow is an existence similar to a body refiner? What it cultivates is the body, the purest form of strength. "
This was not a divine ability, nor was it a spell, but pure power. Moreover, his grasp of strength had already reached a level where he could lift something heavy as if it were light. When he struck out, it would seem light and weak, but when he actually collided with it, he would instantly release his strength. This was even scarier and rarer than brute force.
Yi Tianxing's pupils couldn't help but narrow slightly, and he revealed a wisp of a solemn expression.
This scarecrow was obviously a very different kind of life form. Its entire body was made of straw. As for whether it had internal organs, it was unknown. Whether it could open up the Divine Sea was also unknown. However, its strength was clearly from the path of body refinement. Body Tempering could also allow one to possess terrifying power. He was not inferior to any Qi Refinement Warrior. In fact, it was even more powerful.
If all the scarecrows were body cultivators like this, then the strength of these scarecrows would be immeasurable.
These were not ordinary scarecrows.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that these scarecrows could actually be comparable to a body refiner. This was simply a wild night's talk.
"Grain thief!!"
The golden scarecrow looked at Yi Tianxing who was standing on the back of the Golden Roc. It revealed its golden eyes and let out a shout.
"Grain thief!!"
"Get out!!"
"Grain thief."
"Get out!!"
The scarecrows waved their bamboo sticks and let out angry roars, as if they were driving away. His imposing manner was like a rainbow. That expression was very fanatical, as if they were willing to give up their lives to protect the rice field.
"Then let's try again!!"
There was a flash of brilliance in Yi Tianxing's eyes. Without hesitation, he pulled the Meteorite Bow again. A white bone arrow appeared on the bowstring. With a crisp sound, one could see that the arrow once again broke through the air like a shooting star.
However, this time, the arrow wasn't shot at the golden scarecrow.
Instead, it was shot at an ordinary scarecrow. Moreover, it was quite far away from the golden scarecrow. Even if the golden scarecrow wanted to stop it, it definitely wouldn't be able to stop the arrow in the shortest time possible.
Whoosh!!
The speed of the arrow was so fast that no one could react in time. It had already appeared in front of a scarecrow and landed on its chest. A layer of Shenguang appeared on the scarecrow's body. Those straws seemed to have become the toughest plant vine armor, trying to block the arrow.
Unfortunately, in the face of the powerful force contained in the arrow, these defenses were all useless.
The arrow forcibly pierced through its body, tearing a huge hole in its chest. At the same time, violent flames immediately erupted from the wound, igniting its body. Flames gushed out. The power of the flames spread rapidly around the scarecrow's body, destroying it wantonly.
Splash!!
Some scarecrows carried buckets of water and quickly splashed it at the burning scarecrow. They wanted to extinguish the flames on the scarecrow's body. The speed at which the water was splashed was extremely fast. Moreover, the straws on the scarecrow's body didn't seem to be simple. They were extremely tough. Even the flames were temporarily suppressed. When buckets of water were splashed on the scarecrow, the scarecrow's body immediately emitted green smoke.
The flames were extinguished in an instant.
"Fire counters wood. The scarecrow's entire body is made up of wood and straw, so fire is its natural nemesis. However, the power of fire that erupted from the Blazing Flame Arrow is actually unable to burn the scarecrow into ashes. It even seems like the arrow is able to resist the power of fire. This scarecrow is really cultivating its body. It has tempered its body to the point that it can even resist elemental restraints. "
Yi Tianxing looked at the scarecrow whose flames had been extinguished. Its entire body was burnt, and many parts of it had turned into ashes. There was a huge hole in its chest, and many parts of it revealed its wooden skeleton. It was already burnt to the point that it no longer looked like a human. It could be said that if no other scarecrows splashed water on it, it would only take a few breaths' time to completely burn it into ashes.
However, even though it was burnt to the point that it no longer looked like a human, the scarecrow's body still emitted an aura of life. It was still not dead.
Its vitality could be said to be tenacious.
"It doesn't have a vital point in its heart. Even if it is burnt to this extent, it still won't die. I wonder where the vital point of this scarecrow is? "This arrow had hit the heart, but it still did not die. Obviously, it was not a vital point.
Even so, the scarecrow had fallen to the ground and could no longer fight.
"I must get the spiritual rice in this valley. As long as the scarecrows can't fly, I can shoot them one by one. "
With a thought, the Meteorite Bow in his hand was drawn again. Another white bone arrow appeared on the bowstring.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A battle arrow pierced through the sky. Following that, another battle arrow pierced through the sky.
The Dao of archery naturally had a strong advantage for those with a strong body. With Yi Tianxing's strength, even if he continuously drew the bow, he would not feel any fatigue. His Qi and blood would naturally replenish the consumption of his body.
Every arrow that was shot out was deep, fast, and accurate.
"The grain thieves are here. They want to steal our grain."
"Kill the grain thieves!"
The scarecrows let out angry roars. Some of the scarecrows held bows and arrows in their hands and shot towards the sky. With their strength, the arrows that were shot out were not slow. However, the Golden Roc did not care about them at all. With a flap of its wings, it forcefully smashed the arrows that were shot over and sent them flying.
Without enough strength, they could not hurt the Golden Roc at all.
On the contrary, every arrow that Yi Tianxing shot out accurately hit the scarecrows. Furthermore, they hit the vital points of the scarecrows one after another.
Some directly pierced through the chest, some pierced through the throat.
Those that were shot in the head were shot.
All of them used Flame Arrows. Once they were shot, they would immediately be ignited and enveloped in flames.
The scarecrows were not live targets. When each of them moved, their movements were not slow at all. In fact, some of the scarecrows' movements were very strange. They seemed to have divine powers. They seemed to be walking unsteadily and without any pattern. However, they were able to dodge the arrows in the nick of time.
This kind of pure archery attack made Yi Tianxing secretly feel a trace of enlightenment in his heart.
When Xiao Chen personally saw that the scarecrows could actually dodge the arrows that he shot out, his mind seemed to be stimulated by something. The accumulated knowledge of the Archery Dao unconsciously spewed out, turning into rays of inspiration and comprehension in his mind.
All sorts of thoughts clashed in Xiao Chen's mind.
"Archery is all about killing in one shot, killing once the arrow is fired. If the arrow can't even hit the enemy's body, then there is no need to talk about defeating the enemy. No matter how fast the arrow is, it can still be dodged. In that case, the arrow that is fired would be meaningless. "
"When someone is holding a flying knife, even if they don't make a move, just placing it out in the open can make the other party feel fear and not dare to make any strange moves. This is a strong deterrent force. A flying knife that doesn't make a move is the scariest. Similarly, an arrow that doesn't make a move is the strongest deterrent force to a certain extent. "
"If one wants to reach the peak of the Archery Dao and reach the acme of perfection, the most crucial point is to make it impossible for the enemy to dodge. This kind of impossibility and locking onto the enemy's aura is just a low-level method. Experts with supreme treasures can break this kind of aura lock and even mislead the enemy. The most brilliant method should be prediction. One can predict the other party's reaction in advance and predict the enemy's movements. Only then can one be successful. The arrow never misses! "
Predicting the enemy's movements and making predictions were not just a matter of vision. It was also a kind of talent and a strong deduction ability.
It was just like the Way of Chess. With one move, one could predict the next ten moves, or even dozens of moves. Without a strong deduction ability, it was practically impossible to do this.
"To be able to predict the enemy's movements and make true predictions, one must observe the other party's movements, intentions, and even the changes in the body when the other party takes a step. One must understand everything in an instant and make predictions in one's mind. "
