Myriad arrows reversed their course and vanished into the void.

Every last one of them dissipated without a trace.

The night sky was now clear, and the moonlight fell upon Li Shui Lake, its surface shimmering.

The calm lake was like a mirror, reflecting the countless stars above.

The skyful of flying arrows had simply vanished into nothingness.

Beside Li Shui Lake.

The people gazed up at the sky, unable to calm the turmoil in their hearts for a long time.

Especially Elder Li!

Witnessing this scene, he clenched his fists in excitement, the blood boiling in his chest. "One arrow to break all techniques! As expected of the Sword God’s junior brother. He truly has the air of an archery grandmaster!"

’I can’t even imagine how powerful the sect that trained the two of them must be...’

The Chief Commander was also filled with admiration. He sighed emotionally, "Using an arrow to guide other arrows... What a masterstroke! The Sword God’s junior brother truly lives up to his reputation!!"

One had to understand.

Liu Wushuang was a dignified Venerable Realm expert!

He was proficient in a hundred schools of Archery. A single serious shot from him could shatter mountains and dry up rivers, almost as if it carried the force of a thousand stars.

But now?

The Jianghai Arrow God had used an arrow to counter arrows, effortlessly neutralizing the Arrow Technique and even completely suppressing Liu Wushuang!

At this point, it was already self-evident who was stronger.

...

"Grandmaster is so amazing."

Li Qinghe gazed at the sky, now as clear as if it had been washed, unable to quell his excitement.

’One arrow making ten thousand arrows fly in reverse?’

’What kind of concept is that?’

’As long as Grandmaster fires an arrow, it’s practically a special attack against any Star Martial Artist who cultivates archery!’

’When someone shoots an arrow at him, it’ll be easily reversed and sent flying back at them before it even gets close to Grandmaster!’

"His Archery is heaven-defying! Grandmaster has definitely won this round!!"

Delighted, Li Qinghe noticed the surroundings had gone quiet. He quickly turned to the young ladies beside him and waved, reminding them.

"What are you all spacing out for?!"

"Keep the music playing, keep the dancing going!!"

As his voice fell,

The cheerleaders snapped back to their senses. Waving their gold and red pom-poms, they shouted the Jianghai Arrow God’s name at the top of their lungs, accompanied by the thunderous sound of gongs and drums.

"The Jianghai Arrow God is mighty!!!"

The roar of their voices rolled across the surface of Li Shui Lake and reverberated high into the sky.

Everyone’s passion was ignited at this moment!!

...

And at the same time.

「Miles away in a villa.」 Xiaobai sat in front of the TV, anxiously staring at the live broadcast, her small eyes wide and round.

She was squeezing her phone so hard it was about to shatter!

’Seriously... Isn’t this Liu Wushuang a little too useless?’

’The match just started and he hasn’t even done anything, and Master already sent all his arrows flying back?!’

Xiaobai hugged her head, squatting on the floor in a huff. She glanced down at her phone, and her heart sank. ’This is bad.’

On the screen,

the betting odds for the Arrow God versus Liu Wushuang were skyrocketing off a cliff!

Those who had bet on the Jianghai Arrow God for a sure win were now firmly in the lead, with the trend continuously rising!

’And then there’s me, who bet everything at ten-to-one odds on Master losing... If I really lose this bet, the consequences will be unimaginable!’

’If I lose...’

’All the pocket money this Fairy worked so hard to save up will be gone!!’

"No, no! Master, hurry up and self-destruct! Otherwise, your servant is really going to lose everything..."

The little white-haired loli pouted, her fox ears drooping. She sat dejectedly on the floor, fat tears welling up in her eyes.

’You clearly promised you would throw the match.’

’Master, you’re not playing by the script!!’

...

「A moment later.」

Above Li Shui Lake.

The turbulent, chaotic air currents calmed down. The void rifts slowly closed, and the mirror-like cracks in space gradually vanished.

A hazy moonlight descended.

"It’s actually the Space Law?!"

Liu Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly, looking up at the strange phenomena in the sky. He then re-evaluated Qin Yang, his heart filled with shock.

It was somewhat hard to believe.

Amateurs watch the spectacle, but experts see the technique.

One had to understand.

This was the Space Law!

There are millions of Laws under heaven—countless manifestations of wind, lightning, water, and fire...

But for Star Martial Artists who cultivate archery, Space was the most compatible affinity!

If one could comprehend the Space Law, it would be a tremendous boost for an Arrow Cultivator!

Throughout history, anyone who wished to achieve Great Success in Archery had to use the Space Law as their foundation. Only then could they truly leap the dragon gate, like a koi fish transforming.

And this...

was precisely the goal he had been pursuing all this time!

Just now, the Jianghai Arrow God had not only used the Space Law but was also extremely proficient with it, directly locking the space around the arrows. It seemed he had been comprehending it for quite some time.

"No wonder you were able to kill the Vermilion Bird Earth Venerable."

Liu Wushuang re-examined Qin Yang, raising his threat level several notches higher in his mind.

’Since the Jianghai Arrow God can comprehend the Space Law... the will, Comprehension, and fortuitous opportunities required are all indispensable. He is by no means an existence that can be underestimated.’

However.

’Admiration is one thing... but I’m still not convinced!!’

"Relying on the Power of Laws is ultimately just using an external force. It’s not a pure competition of Archery."

At this thought,

Liu Wushuang shook his head, raised the Profound Bow in his hand, and said coldly, "Jianghai Arrow God, I’ll admit you were impressive that round. But this Venerable one is not convinced. Let’s compete one more time!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking,

the citizens of Jianghai watching the battle were instantly displeased. They began to clamor on the spot. A boiling cauldron of voices rose from the shores of Li Shui Lake, all of them scolding him:

"You old man, you have no martial ethics!"

"You fought once, and now you want a second round? You made your bet, now accept your loss, okay?!"

"I’ve never seen such a shameless person! He got his arrows turned back on him, and he still thinks he’s in the right?"

"You agreed to one arrow before!"

The clamorous voices mingled, most of them condemning Liu Wushuang. However, among them were some Arrow Cultivators who had seen the nuances of the fight. They did not speak out in refutation but silently observed the situation.

Liu Wushuang was in the Venerable Realm.

He held a lofty position in the hearts of most Arrow Cultivators and had long enjoyed the title of the number one in Archery under heaven.

Judging by his actions and not his intentions, his dedication to seeking the Dao was beyond reproach. He had once stood in the snow at his master’s door, a testament to his respect, and had definitely climbed his way up from the bottom.

Many Arrow Cultivators regarded him as their idol and goal.

"What? Not satisfied with that arrow?"

Hearing this, Qin Yang wasn’t in a hurry. He slowly lowered his Sun-Shooting Bow. "What’s your excuse now?"

"Ahem, Jianghai Arrow God, you truly live up to your name. To have mastered the Space Law to such an extent, this Venerable one is impressed."

Liu Wushuang coughed twice into a Hollow Fist. "But..."

As he spoke, his tone shifted!

"However, it is this Venerable one’s fault for not being clear before. Laws are Laws, but as we are both Arrow Cultivators, it is only natural that we use Archery as the foundation of our competition."

"A pure competition of Archery?"

Hearing this, Qin Yang frowned slightly. He glanced at Liu Wushuang and noticed that the expression on his face showed no signs of submission.

To put it bluntly,

’This guy is still not convinced!’

Seeing this, Qin Yang pondered for a moment.

’It seems using the Law as a shortcut really didn’t work... To get the system’s generous rewards, I have to beat Liu Wushuang until he is utterly convinced of his defeat. But even after using the Spatial Lock, and though Liu Wushuang lost that exchange, the system still hasn’t given any notification. This means his fighting spirit hasn’t been completely broken. I have to suppress him even further!’

Thinking of this, Qin Yang didn’t hesitate. He looked at Liu Wushuang and nodded.

"Fine. Since you want another round, then let’s do it. It’s no trouble for this Arrow God. I’ll gladly risk it all to accompany a gentleman and beat you until you’re thoroughly convinced!"

As his voice fell,

"Excellent!"

Hearing this, Liu Wushuang was pleasantly surprised and cupped his hands in a salute.

"What magnanimity, Jianghai Arrow God!! After this arrow, regardless of the outcome, this Venerable one will not bother you again!"

With that,

he once again retreated over a hundred zhang away.

He raised his Profound Bow and nocked an arrow, tilting his head to aim at Qin Yang with one eye. The bowstring was drawn like a full moon.

This time, his aura was even more ferocious!

The sheer power could be seen just from the Star Force he was releasing!

"Be careful! The power of this arrow cannot be compared to the last!"

Liu Wushuang warned in a deep voice, his fingers tightening as the Qi Force around him surged higher and higher.

The next moment!

BOOM!

Myriad strands of Star Force condensed as a formidable aura erupted!

The lake water beneath his feet buckled under the pressure, parting to either side as a fierce wind instantly swept the shore.

SPLASH—

The calm surface of the lake roiled, turning into wave after wave that crashed violently against the embankment and the onlookers near the shore.

Every single one of them was drenched like a drowned rat!

A sharp arrow intent locked down the area, as if a bone-chilling winter had descended. The spectators hugged themselves, trembling all over, struggling to endure the murderous intent of ten thousand arrows firing at once...

’Such powerful arrow intent!’

Seeing this, Qin Yang didn’t dare hesitate. He floated back a hundred zhang to create distance, likewise raising his Sun-Shooting Bow to aim at Liu Wushuang. He slowly drew the bowstring.

VMM—

The string of the Sun-Shooting Bow vibrated!

In an instant!

Scorching heat descended upon the lake.

The lake water sizzled and evaporated, turning into wisps of white steam that coiled around Qin Yang like clouds and mist, concealing his aura.

’But it’s still not enough! Liu Wushuang has been immersed in the Arrow Dao for many years. His deep foundation is not something that can be matched in an instant. Fine, if I can’t use Laws, then I’ll just have to do something with the arrow itself.’

As Qin Yang thought, he summoned a ray of Ziwei starlight and placed it on the bow’s rest. His fingertips gripped a sword hilt, its blade pointing at Liu Wushuang.

It was the Ziwei Divine Sword!

’Using the Ziwei as an arrow, fired from the Sun-Shooting Bow, should produce extraordinary power. The combination of two Emperor Level Divine Weapons can definitely make up for the gap in our Archery skills! As for using the Ziwei Divine Sword being against martial ethics? Can you say this isn’t shooting an arrow?’

VMM!

In that moment of thought,

Liu Wushuang released his bowstring, and a dazzling white light pierced through the void. Qin Yang released his string at the same time. The Sun-Shooting Bow erupted with a molten, fluid flame, and the Ziwei shot out along a straight trajectory!

RUMBLE!

The two streams of arrow techniques intertwined, and Sword Qi swept across the surface of Glazed Lake.

The water of Glazed Lake evaporated as the two "arrows" collided, their tips meeting. The Ziwei Sword Qi blasted through everything, dominating the exchange with overwhelming force.

The next moment,

the opposing arrow shattered!

"Not good!"

Liu Wushuang’s face fell. A maelstrom of Sword Qi coalesced and slammed violently into his Profound Bow.

In an instant,

the bowstring snapped!

BOOM!

Defeated by a single arrow!

Before everyone’s watchful eyes, they all stared, wide-eyed, as Liu Wushuang was sent flying backward. The scene instantly erupted in an uproar!!

At the same time.

「Miles away,」 Xiaobai, carrying a platter of grapes, skipped back in front of the live broadcast just in time to see this scene. Her foxy heart was thrown into chaos.

’It’s over... This is the number one Archery in the world?’

’Master even broke his bowstring!!!’
