Chapter 1384 - 1382: Second Acceleration! Missile-like Arrows!
Humph!
Xu Tianrui let out a mocking cold laugh, and the entire prison seemed to be covered in a cold air, becoming like a thousand-year-old ice cellar, bone-chilling.
Both Zhu Qilue and Zhu Ruoling instantly stiffened, a surge of coldness welling up in their hearts.
Zhu Ruoling initially thought this unexpected arrow would surely kill Xu Tianrui.
But unexpectedly, Xu Tianrui caught it at the last moment!
Zhu Qilue had a face full of helplessness and tension because he had predicted this scene long ago. Even if Xu Tianrui had injured an arm, Zhu Ruoling could never be his match.
If Xu Tianrui were not injured, Zhu Ruoling would probably be dead by now.
"How could this be?! How could you catch my arrow!" Zhu Ruoling's eyes widened, angrily snorting in disbelief.
She defiantly picked up the bow again.
"Ruoling, get out, quickly! Go!" Zhu Qilue roared like thunder, seething with anger.
How could this girl be so foolish!
She couldn't even injure the opponent, yet she stayed here, foolishly thinking she could kill Xu Tianrui despite knowing his Cultivation Realm far surpassed hers!
Has she gone mad?!
It's all because of his own overindulgence, allowing Zhu Ruoling to overestimate her abilities, thinking she could truly compete with Xu Tianrui.
But in reality, her skills weren't even as good as Zhu Qilue, who was called the Fire Clan's useless prince!
Therefore.
When Zhu Qilue urged Zhu Ruoling to leave quickly, it wasn't because he wanted to die, but to protect Zhu Ruoling.
However.
Zhu Ruoling evidently didn't understand this, stubbornly pulling the bow to full draw.
Call her obstinate or foolish, but it had to be admitted that her eyes were filled with unyielding killing intent—this surprised Zhu Qilue.
"Brother! Don't worry, I won't let you die. I will save you!"
Whiz!
Whiz!
Whiz!
Half a breath!
Zhu Ruoling shot three arrows, each with a piercing sound, whistling towards Xu Tianrui.
Xu Tianrui still stood in place with a smile, motionless, waiting for the arrows to come, like a living target, without a trace of fear in his eyes or face.
Calm to the point of horror!
Because he knew, Zhu Ruoling was no match for him, even managing to shoot three arrows in half a breath, was nothing more than a bluff.
If she could shoot a hundred arrows in a row, then perhaps he would be impressed, but just three? Who do you think you're underestimating!
"Trivial skills, slow as a snail!"
He disdainfully raised his eyebrows, scornfully sneering.
"Even with one hand, I can crush you like an ant. Damn ants, today I'll show you my terror!"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The three arrows flying in mid-air suddenly accelerated like missiles!
Directly erupting into three bursts of flame!
Like meteors!
Tenth of a breath, the arrows arrived before Xu Tianrui.
The three arrows aimed straight for vital points, a single hit could pierce Xu Tianrui, instantly killing him!
Both Xu Tianrui and Zhu Qilue were equally shocked.
They didn't expect Zhu Ruoling to develop such a maneuver; with her Cultivation Realm, it was impossible to achieve a secondary acceleration of arrows!
Moreover.
Making a single arrow accelerate twice is already extremely difficult, but Zhu Ruoling could make three arrows accelerate twice at once, truly terrifying!
Xu Tianrui's face suddenly changed, though he still tried to maintain composure, his eyes betrayed him, showing a trace of panic in their contempt.
"Damn!" he cursed furiously.
Seeing Xu Tianrui's expression, Zhu Ruoling chuckled triumphantly.
"Thought you could underestimate me, figured it out now? Humph!"
But being the Commander of the Scarlet Cloud Army isn't a job for just anyone, Xu Tianrui became a dragon among men for a reason.
Even though Zhu Ruoling's skill shocked him, it didn't cause him to experience fear.
Even if she could accelerate three arrows simultaneously, it didn't mean Xu Tianrui would stand idly by; he still had a coping strategy.
In the next second!
He directly threw out the arrow in his hand, and it shot forth as if fired from a bow, even faster than being shot from a bow!
Boom!
The thrown arrow collided with one of the incoming arrows, producing a massive explosion.
Simultaneously, he sidestepped, dodging another of the flying arrows.
His calculations were extremely precise, barely avoiding it.
Not one bit more, not one bit less!
Just as he leapt into the air, the third arrow rushed towards him!
Zhu Ruoling knew very well, a single arrow or even two arrows wouldn't trouble Xu Tianrui; the first two arrows only created huge trouble for Xu Tianrui.
The truly crucial arrow is the third!
Xu Tianrui, amid panic, would surely be caught off guard, allowing the third arrow to hit its target effortlessly, possibly killing the opponent!
At that moment!
Zhu Ruoling's heartbeat stopped, she held her breath, staring fixedly as the last arrow drew closer to Xu Tianrui, closer and closer!
At first, Zhu Qilue had no confidence in Zhu Ruoling, but upon witnessing the three arrows, a sliver of hope involuntarily surged in his heart.
Maybe…
Maybe indeed there's a sliver of hope, that this arrow could kill Xu Tianrui!
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
His heart was pounding, nearly jumping out of his throat.
Eyes fixed on that final arrow!
Xu Tianrui had just landed as the last arrow was almost upon him.
He no longer had time to react!
However.
He didn't show the slightest fear or panic.
Even.
A hint of a sarcastic smile played at the corners of his mouth.
"Did you really think you could kill me this way? Too naive! Zhu Qilue, I once thought you were rational like me, but didn't expect you'd be as childish and laughable as your sister."
"These trivial skills, I don't take seriously."
Five millimeters!
Four millimeters!
Three millimeters!
The arrow closing in, nearly touching Xu Tianrui's skin!
Two millimeters!
One millimeter!
Even... less than a millimeter!
The sharp arrowhead came infinitely close to Xu Tianrui.
From Zhu Ruoling's angle, it seemed the arrow had pierced Xu Tianrui's body.
So.
She couldn't help clapping and shouting excitedly.
"Damn it! Mocking me, how's it now?! See my prowess, I told you you'd die by my hand!"
However, her joy didn't last long, seeing Zhu Qilue showed no happiness, not even a smile, his face was ashen, pale as paper.
Zhu Ruoling felt a jolt in her heart, sensing something amiss.
Could it be… could it be Xu Tianrui is fine?!
No way!
The arrow clearly should have...
Before Zhu Ruoling could comprehend, a sound of explosion was heard.
Bang!
Though just a single arrow, the momentum Xu Tianrui unleashed was frightening.
That arrow Zhu Ruoling thought had struck, started to melt bit by bit in front of Xu Tianrui, turning to ashes!
At the same time.
Xu Tianrui also revealed a ferocious, terrifying face and a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Any other tricks, feel free to show them, otherwise you won't have another chance."
He sneered wickedly, his voice terrifying as if from Hell.
