Chapter 310: 310

Seeing Yan Liqiang shoot down the cavalryman riding at the front, angry yells erupted among the White Lotus Cavalry that was chasing Yan Liqiang . More than a dozen archers in the cavalry immediately retrieved their bows and opened fire on Yan Liqiang .

Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…

A bunch of arrows flew sparsely in the air with poor accuracy . More than ninety percent of them landed about five to ten meters away from Yan Liqiang . They fell on either the roadside or into the bushes, nowhere near Yan Liqiang . One of them managed to come as close as two meters away from him . The most accurate one flew straight toward his upper torso with decent accuracy . Even so, an arrow like that posed no threat to Yan Liqiang .

When the arrow came flying toward him, Yan Liqiang was able to determine that it was launched by a mere two-picul warbow and the archer had just attained the first heavenly layer in the art of archery .

He had to admit that the White Lotus Cavalry was a lot inferior to those Blackwind Bandits he encountered in reality .

The Blackwind Bandits roamed the northwestern region and everyone was adept in horseback archery . In a group of a hundred men where everyone could do horseback archery, there were at least seven or eight outstanding archers . On the other hand, there was only a little more than ten archers riding among the White Lotus Cavalry of more than a hundred men . Apart from the group leader whom he had taken out with a single arrow earlier, there was only one other barely decent archer among the remaining archers .

Yan Liqiang felt relieved as soon as the White Lotus Cavalry opened fire at him .

The arrow launched by the two-picul bow was reaching the end of its flight over the distance and losing its momentum . Without waiting for the arrow to get any closer, Yan Liqiang knocked it away with the warbow he was holding . The arrow didn’t even touch a strand of his hair .

When he knocked that arrow away, Yan Liqiang’s bowstring vibrated again, sending out another arrow . It pierced the throat of someone riding among the White Lotus Cavalry and he promptly fell off his galloping rhinodrake steed .

The second victim to Yan Liqiang’s arrow was the archer who had slightly better aim .

The White Lotus Cavalry cried out in alarm when they saw the second person get knocked down . The cavalry that relied solely on their numbers probably didn’t expect the person staying at the end of their targets would be this ruthless .

This was a running battle .

The White Lotus Cavalry hurriedly prepared to shoot their second set of arrows . However, Yan Liqiang was much faster than them . Before they even released their second set, Yan Liqiang had shot out his third arrow .

Another person in the cavalry chasing after Yan Liqiang fell off his steed with a miserable scream . He fell into the countless stamping hooves and went silent in just the blink of an eye .

The third victim to Yan Liqiang’s arrows was the cavalryman who managed to shoot his arrow within a two-meter radius of Yan Liqiang from earlier .

In a pursuit like this, Yan Liqiang would first eliminate the leader of his opponents, followed by the archers in the opposing party who could pose a threat to him at a distance . Therefore, archers with the better cultivation realm would die sooner .

Although some people among the cavalry were still trying to shoot Yan Liqiang down after his three shots, none of their arrows reached a radius of five meters around him .

With their skills in archery, they might be able to dish out damage in large scale cavalry showdowns by relying on their numbers and probability . However, when it came to pursuing a single target like this, they would find themselves completely useless .

Yan Liqiang squeezed his rhinodrake steed’s abdomen and leaned to the side . Synchronizing himself with the rocking horseback, he calmly drew his bow . In less than a minute, more than ten arrows were quickly released . Among the screaming White Lotus Cavalry that was chasing him, more than ten of them were knocked off in succession…

All of a sudden, the cavalry realized that they couldn’t shoot out any more arrows . All the archers had been killed by the young man that they were pursuing . Upon this discovery, Yan Liqiang’s pursuers slowed down involuntarily .

“NEIGHHHH…!” Yan Liqiang reined his galloping steed in, causing it to neigh on the public road . The steed stood up on its hind legs before stamping its front hooves heavily on the ground . It turned to the side and faced the roadside .

Yan Liqiang held his bow and stared coldly at the White Lotus Cavalry that was pursuing him from two hundred meters away .

The White Lotus Cavalry suddenly stopped too as everyone looked at Yan Liqiang and the warbow in his hands . They couldn’t stop the chill running up their spines as the expression on their faces contorted .

None of the arrows from their side could hit their target . Yet, their target was able to kill someone on their side from several hundred meters away whenever he drew his bow . How could they win this battle?

Although the White Lotus Cavalry was larger in number, everyone’s courage had been robbed by the bow of death in Yan Liqiang’s hands . They trembled with fear, fearing that they’d be the next one to be down their mounts .

Both parties fell into a brief silence…

A bearded man in the cavalry raised his saber and roared, “Fear not, brothers! He’s all by himself! Put your backs into it and get him…!”

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow went into his mouth . It pierced through the back of his head . The protruding black arrowhead that gleamed coldly was stained with fresh, warm blood .

The man’s eyes widened as he swayed on his steed before falling off . The people around him quickly backed down in shock .

Yan Liqiang lifted his bow and released another arrow . The cavalryman closest to the front was shot in the throat and knocked off his steed .

Yan Liqiang lifted his bow again . The few men at the frontline quickly lowered themselves without thinking . They turned their steeds around and dashed in the opposite direction .

Wherever Yan Liqiang pointed his bow, color would drain from his opponents’ faces . They’d lay low on their rhinodrake steeds and turn their steeds around, trying to avoid him…

Chaos immediately descended upon the cavalry of more than a hundred men .

Even so, Yan Liqiang still released his arrow . Another person closest to the front was knocked off his rhinodrake steed again .

Yan Liqiang nocked another arrow onto his bowstring and aimed it at the cavalry . He then squeezed his rhinodrake steed with his legs, making it dash toward his opponents .

Every time his bowstring vibrated, another person in the opposing party was taken down…

Watching Yan Liqiang charge toward them on his rhinodrake steed and nocking another arrow onto his bowstring, the last bit of morale and courage in the cavalry were finally crushed . In the blink of an eye, everyone in the cavalry of a hundred men scrambled to flee in the opposite direction . They all seemed like they wanted to hide their heads under their rhinodrake steeds so badly . No one dared to even keep their heads high…

On the public road, Yan Liqiang charged at the cavalry of a hundred men alone, with his lone steed and a single bow…
