If he waited for the starlight to condense into the shape of an arrow, it would take longer. Although the arrow would be more powerful, it would give Meng Zhanfeng time to prepare.
Now, Ye Xing only needed to pull and release the starlight ripples that shot out were too fast. It was impossible to guard against.
If Meng Zhanfeng was hit by the starlight ripples without any preparation, his head would probably fall off.
Therefore, in an instant, Meng Zhanfeng's heart trembled as he felt the threat of death.
Whoosh –
Meng Zhanfeng's body suddenly bloomed with golden light as he rapidly retreated.
The blooming golden light was Meng Zhanfeng's astral energy and metal-attribute star force erupting from his body to form a defensive layer.
However, the starlight ripples shot out from the Crow Mystic Bow were really sharp. The golden defensive layer was cut open like water and the starlight ripples continued to cut towards Meng Zhanfeng's neck.
Whoosh –
Meng Zhanfeng rapidly retreated. Coupled with the defense of his protective shield, he finally won a moment of time to withdraw his treasure saber and slash down.
Although the starlight ripples were sharp, they were nothing but air. Under the saber light, they were instantly split in two. The terrifying saber light shot forward and in the blink of an eye, it was above Ye Xing's head.
It seemed that Meng Zhanfeng's saber was very domineering. In an instant, he had counterattacked Ye Xing.
In fact, the threat of the starlight ripples was still there. After the starlight ripples were split in two, they continued to shoot forward.
Under Meng Zhanfeng's horrified gaze, the starlight ripples flashed past his neck. Although there was no pain, Meng Zhanfeng still felt a chill coming from both sides of his neck.
Obviously, both sides of his neck had been swept by the starlight ripples. It was only because the starlight ripples swept by too quickly that he didn't feel any pain.
Bang –
There was a loud explosion. The Crow Mystic Bow in Ye Xing's hand was burning with raging flames. It erupted with a terrifying power and collided with the saber light.
Ye Xing's strike was like the Tyrannical Flame Spear of spear arts. Its power was wild and overbearing, and it instantly shattered the saber light.
However, the power of Meng Zhanfeng's saber strike was truly terrifying. Ye Xing was forced back. This was exactly what Ye Xing wanted, so he increased his speed and retreated.
Only when he was far enough from Meng Zhanfeng would Ye Xing have enough time to draw the bow and display the true power of the Black Profound Bow.
Although close range starlight ripples attacks were hard to guard against, their power was not enough. If Meng Zhanfeng was prepared, it would be very difficult for Ye Xing to injure him with starlight ripples.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xing was already thousands of meters away from Meng Zhanfeng. His aura was restrained, and he merged into the dark world silently.
Two streaks of blood appeared on both sides of Meng Zhanfeng's neck. Blood slowly flowed out. At this time, Meng Zhanfeng already felt the pain from his neck.
Fortunately, the starlight ripples had only swept past the two sides of his neck, and the deepest part was no more than two centimeters. His trachea and aorta were not damaged, so it was not a serious injury.
If Meng Zhanfeng had known that the starlight ripples could continue attacking after being cut off, he would not have slashed vertically but horizontally. The starlight ripples were not very powerful. They were destroyed by the saber aura.
When Meng Zhanfeng reflected and thought that he would not be at a disadvantage the next time he encountered starlight ripples, he was shocked. He had already lost his sense of Ye Xing.
His surroundings were pitch black. Although his Metal Constellation was blooming with golden light, it was very dim in the dark world. Meng Zhanfeng could not see very far.
Previously, Meng Zhanfeng was able to lock onto Ye Xing because under his continuous attacks, Ye Xing was constantly retreating. The trajectory was all within Meng Zhanfeng's expectations.
Now, Ye Xing had completely restrained his aura and was hiding. Meng Zhanfeng naturally could not discover him.
The array formation's restriction isolated this space. The people outside could see everything inside the array formation's light shield, but they could not interfere. Even sound could not pass in.
Therefore, the spectating martial artists could see Ye Xing's figure, but they could not warn Meng Zhanfeng.
Meng Zhanfeng channeled his astral energy to stop the blood from flowing out of his neck. He withdrew his saber and got into a defensive posture. He calmed his mind and sensed the surroundings.
In order to kill Ye Xing, the intermediate Venerable Ones who participated in this life-and-death duel were trained to fight with their eyes closed. As long as there was any movement or fluctuation of astral power, Meng Zhanfeng would be able to sense Ye Xing's existence.
Ye Xing moved stealthily in the dark world and arrived at the edge. He was about five to six miles away from Meng Zhanfeng.
Ye Xing was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he sat cross-legged on a rock and calmed his breathing. Earlier, when he was hit by Meng Zhanfeng's saber and vomited blood, Ye Xing did not have the chance to treat his injuries. He seized the time to circulate his energy and recuperate.
If there were healing Medicinal Pills, such a small injury would be healed instantly. However, Medicinal Pills were forbidden in life-and-death duels. Ye Xing did not bring any Medicinal Pills in, so he could only circulate his energy and recuperate.
Now, Meng Zhanfeng was in the open while Ye Xing was in the dark. The initiative was in Ye Xing's hands. Whenever Ye Xing wanted to make a move, he would make a move. He could wait calmly, recuperate, and recover his energy.
However, Meng Zhanfeng could not calm down. He did not know when Ye Xing would make a move. Hence, he had to be on guard against Ye Xing's attack. He had to be alert and did not dare to relax.
Time passed slowly. There was no movement inside the array formation's light shield. The spectating martial artists were bored out of their wits.
While Ye Xing was circulating his energy to recuperate, Meng Zhanfeng was doing the same to recover from the injury on his neck. When Meng Zhanfeng saw that Ye Xing had not made a move, he made a move.
In the distance, Ye Xing stood up and raised the Dark Crow Bow.
He could not wait any longer. Meng Zhanfeng began to arrange the array formation. If he finished arranging the array formation, Ye Xing would lose more than half of his space to move. Moreover, the difficulty of killing Meng Zhanfeng would increase greatly.
Ye Xing circulated his astral energy and his physical strength erupted. He pulled the bowstring fiercely.
Even if Ye Xing used all his strength, he could only pull the Dark Crow Bow half way. He could not pull it to a full moon.
When the Dark Crow Bow was pulled, it gathered the astral energy and condensed into an arrow of starlight.
Meng Zhanfeng immediately felt the fluctuation of astral energy. His figure flashed like a golden light and rushed towards Ye Xing.
A pair of Profound Grade Flying Wings appeared behind Meng Zhanfeng. A distance of a few miles was just a blink of an eye for him.
However, Meng Zhanfeng did not even blink. The arrow of starlight on the Dark Crow Bow had already shot out.
The arrow shot by the Seven Transformations Archery Grandmaster had reached the acme of perfection. Its power was terrifying. Meng Zhanfeng stood in place and felt that it was difficult to block. How could he dare to continue rushing forward? Of course, he stopped in an instant and instinctively slashed out with his saber.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh …
Meng Zhanfeng's astral saber missed. The arrow of starlight changed direction in the void. It changed direction several times in an instant.
The astral saber in Meng Zhanfeng's hand retracted and changed direction along with the arrow of starlight.
