The candidates did not know. They had never seen anyone try it before.
However, when the green light from Fang Zhengzhi's Sun Shooting Bow grew brighter and brighter, all of the candidates began to panic.
"Ah! Don't shoot me! "
"I am only here to participate in the competition!"
"Stop! We have no grudges against each other! Don't be rash!"
Not all of the candidates were as powerful as Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming. As such, when they saw the arrow in Fang Zhengzhi's hand, some of the weaker candidates began to panic.
"Whoosh!" The sound of the arrow piercing through the air rang out.
It was almost as if space itself was being torn apart. In reality, there was a small tear in space at the end of the arrow.
Sometimes, the arrow was already on the bowstring. It was not something that could be stopped just because someone yelled at it.
"Run!" Almost instinctively, all of the candidates ran without hesitation. All of them scattered because they could feel how terrifying that jade-green arrow of light was.
With the strength of most of them, if they were shot, even if they didn't die, they would definitely be seriously injured.
Of the 10 greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Blazing Qilin Spear was known as the most powerful weapon. The Sun Shooting Bow was known as the one with the longest range of attacks.
With the help of the Sun Shooting Bow, an ordinary arrow could be extremely powerful. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi was using the extremely powerful Million Sword Illustration.
The emerald green arrow of light flashed in the air and then disappeared.
It brought with it a black arc of light as it swept past the heads of the candidates. Like a falling meteor, it crashed into the ground 300 meters away. Then, the emerald green arrow of light completely exploded.
"Boom!"
A huge crater was formed in the ground.
There were two innocent beasts lying in a pool of blood in the crater. Their eyes were rolled back and their limbs were limp. They were as dead as they could be.
"Ssss..."
One by one, the candidates stared at the crater 300 meters away where the rocks had been reduced to dust. They inhaled a breath of cold air, chills running down their spines.
If this arrow had landed in the middle of the crowd, the result would have been unimaginable.
Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at the crater in the distance and looked at each other. Their expressions changed slightly, becoming extremely gloomy.
Fang Zhengzhi gently tugged on the reins of the horse.
The Mud Striped Horse snorted and raised its head. It looked around at the stunned candidates. Then... Then, he swaggered towards the deep pit.
Fang Zhengzhi smirked. This was his first time using the Sun Shooting Bow. He did not expect it to be so powerful. He wondered where it came from.
However, this was not what he was concerned about.
What he was concerned about now was whether or not he would be able to pass the test easily after displaying such an arrow.
His gaze swept across the scholars who were still rooted to the ground. Fang Zhengzhi gritted his teeth, trying his best to make his expression more ferocious, so as to scare these scholars.
None of the candidates noticed Fang Zhengzhi's expression. However, when they saw Fang Zhengzhi approaching on horseback, they instinctively gave way.
Fang Zhengzhi was overjoyed.
It would be best if they didn't have to fight. Furthermore, Ping Yang was about to reach the third recording tablet. If he didn't speed up and Ping Yang took advantage of him, he would really suffer a double loss.
It was better for him to take advantage of the situation.
"Fang Zhengzhi, do you think that with just one arrow, we won't be able to stop you?" Do you think we don't dare to stop you? "Xiang Tianying stepped forward, standing right in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
Tang Zhongming stood beside Xiang Tianying with a gloomy expression.
"We?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Tang Zhongming. He understood what Tang Zhongming meant, "You want us to attack together?"
"That's right! With Young Master Tang and my abilities, we could have dealt with you alone. However, you think that you can bully us just because you have a good bow? We have no choice but to team up against you. "Xiang Tianying nodded.
"Because I have a good bow, I want to bully you? Then, all of you have to come at me together? "Fang Zhengzhi could not figure out the connection between the two.
When the other candidates heard Xiang Tianying's words, their expressions changed. They were all horrified.
Even though they could tell that Xiang Tianying's excuse was a little inappropriate, they were not concerned about it.
What they were concerned about was...
The seventh and eighth on the Rising Dragon Roll were going to team up!
Furthermore, they were going to team up against Fang Zhengzhi, who was just ranked tenth on the Rising Dragon Roll.
This was too much.
However, just as Xiang Tianying had said, after seeing Fang Zhengzhi's arrow, if the two of them were to fight him alone, they would be courting death.
"Then … what about the rest of you?" Fang Zhengzhi did not say much, instead, he looked at the other candidates.
"We will watch!"
"Yes, we will watch from the side."
"Don't worry, we will not interfere."
All of the candidates looked at each other when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. They were not Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming.
If Mao Ran interfered, he would be the one to block the arrow.
No one was stupid.
Furthermore, with Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming's help, there was nothing for them to do. There was no need for them to waste their lives in this mess.
Just as they had said, they had come to take part in the race hunt.
Fighting...
Was not part of their plan.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say that fighting was not part of his plan. However, since they were picking a fight, he could not back down.
What's more, he had no idea where Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming came from.
He did not care.
"Alright, since you want to fight, then hurry up. My time is limited, I still want to be number one!" Fang Zhengzhi said impatiently to Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming.
Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming were both in the top 10 of the Rising Dragon Roll.
Whether it was within the family or within the Great Xia Dynasty, he enjoyed an extremely high reputation. He had never been looked down upon like this before.
"Number one? Fang Zhengzhi, you will be number one today! "Xiang Tianying's eyes flashed with anger. He and Tang Zhongming were considered rivals.
They did not want to work together.
However, Fang Zhengzhi's arrow had shaken his confidence.
Tang Zhongming felt the same way. If not for the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had the Sun Shooting Bow, he would not have teamed up with Xiang Tianying.
Furthermore... If not for Fang Zhengzhi's interference, he would have been at the finish line waiting for his reward.
When he thought about the fact that he had already placed second or even first in the Horse Hunting Competition, but now it was all for naught, he could not possibly let Fang Zhengzhi go just like that.
"Give me back my number one!" Tang Zhongming waved his hand. A long sword shining with a cold light appeared in his hand. At the same time, his body also emitted a faint blue light, and the dense cold air caused the air to crackle.
"Oh?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback. He did not expect the two scallions in front of him to be so powerful.
In terms of cold air, they were on par with Nangong Mu's Green and Blue Secret Art.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Tang Zhongming, pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State. Number eight on the Rising Dragon Roll! "Tang Zhongming's tone was icy.
"Xiang Tianying, pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State, number seven on the Rising Dragon Roll!" Xiang Tianying said as well. He glanced at Tang Zhongming when he mentioned the seventh. He was obviously proud of himself.
"F * ck!" Fang Zhengzhi cursed to himself.
Number seven and number eight on the Rising Dragon Roll?!
Fang Zhengzhi remembered that he had met the self-proclaimed number ten on the Rising Dragon Roll in Dong Lin City. Even though he had won, it was not very honorable.
Furthermore... He knew.
Even someone as powerful as Nangong Mu was not in the top ten of the Rising Dragon Roll.
That meant that he was going up against two people who were even more powerful than Nangong Mu?
It seemed...
He had gone overboard.
"Erm... the two of you are famous now. Isn't it inappropriate for two of you to gang up on me? "Fang Zhengzhi immediately put on a look of disdain and embarrassment.
"It is inappropriate, but you have a good bow." Xiang Tianying smirked when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's change in tone.
"Why don't we discuss this? I won't use my bow. Send one of you to fight me. If you lose, let me pass. What do you think? "Fang Zhengzhi suggested sincerely.
"Fight you?"
Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at each other. They could see the mockery in each other's eyes.
"Sure, but you have to defeat both of us in a row, and we'll let you pass!" Xiang Tianying's smile widened.
He could see the fear on Fang Zhengzhi's face. He snorted to himself. Fang Zhengzhi was just an empty shell.
How did he get to the top ten on the Rising Dragon Roll?
"Okay..." Fang Zhengzhi hesitated when he heard Xiang Tianying's words. However, he still nodded and agreed to Xiang Tianying's terms.
"Young Master Tang, you go first!" Xiang Tianying looked at Tang Zhongming.
"Young Master Xiang is more powerful than me. You should go first!" Tang Zhongming was not going to fall for Fang Zhengzhi's trick. Whoever went first would be at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, they had never really fought with Fang Zhengzhi before. Being able to watch from the side, they would know that they knew their enemy, and that they would not be defeated in a hundred battles.
"It's because I'm stronger than you that you should test the waters first. Then, I'll make my move. That's the only way we can win." Xiang Tianying also deferred.
"Does Young Master Xiang think that you cannot defeat Fang Zhengzhi?" Tang Zhongming retorted.
"Young Master Tang should go first."
"I think it is more appropriate for Young Master Xiang to go first."
Very quickly, Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming began to argue over who should go first.
The other candidates shook their heads when they saw Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming's expressions. However, they would have done the same if they were in Tang Zhongming's shoes.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi was also tenth on the Rising Dragon Roll.
Even though there was a difference of two places between tenth and seventh, the difference in power was not huge. No matter who went first, it would be a lose-lose situation.
It would be best if they could reap the benefits.
"I see that the two of you are arguing endlessly. Why don't I give you an idea?" Fang Zhengzhi spoke up, his expression sincere.
"What idea?" Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at Fang Zhengzhi uncertainly. After all, they had heard of Fang Zhengzhi's reputation.
He had always been cursed by others for his shameless and unpredictable methods.
Therefore, they were naturally very careful in their hearts.
"Simple. Rock, paper, scissors. Whoever loses goes first. Do you guys know how to do that?" Fang Zhengzhi did not know if such a game existed in this world.
"Of course!" Xiang Tianying snorted.
How could he not know how to do this when he was two years old?
"Okay, although it's a little childish, it's still a fair strategy. Let's use scissors, stone, and cloth to determine the winner in one round. Whoever loses will go first!" Tang Zhongming hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
"I'll be the judge to prevent any of you from playing tricks behind the scenes!" Fang Zhengzhi immediately stood out with a stern and impartial expression.
Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at Fang Zhengzhi, confused. What was he trying to do?
However, rock, paper, scissors shouldn't be able to do anything funny right?
With that in mind, both of them nodded in agreement.
Fang Zhengzhi got off his horse and walked in between the two of them. Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming stood facing each other with their hands behind their backs, ready to go.
"On the count of one, two, three, you have to play together. Don't go back on your words. Whoever plays slower loses." Fang Zhengzhi instructed.
"Cut the crap, let's begin!" Xiang Tianying said impatiently.
When the other candidates saw this, they all gathered around the three of them, ready to witness a miracle.
"Okay." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
"Go!"
As Fang Zhengzhi waved his arm, Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming's eyes widened as they pulled their hands out from behind their backs.
Just at that moment...
"Boom!"
A dazzling white light suddenly erupted from the center of the two of them.
"Eyes!"
"My eyes!"
"Ah, why can't I see them?!"
"It's Fang Zhengzhi. He used this move when he fought with Nangong Mu previously!"
When the white light shone, chaos ensued. All of the candidates covered their eyes and scurried around like ants on a hot pan.
"Fang Zhengzhi, I will not forgive you!" Xiang Tianying closed his eyes and let out an angry roar. His body suddenly lit up with a purple glow. The glow flickered and stacked layer by layer, looking like pieces of purple crystals.
