Lan Hua stared at Shi Han and Qin Jue, pondering how to take over this place.
"Shi Han has the highest cultivation level. To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. So let's kill him first!"
Lan Hua made up her mind, her clairvoyance locked onto Shi Han, her bow drawn to a full moon, an invisible arrow of light, thirsting for more!
call out…
The three-star combo attack was unleashed once again, representing the limit of Lan Hua's invisible arrow technique, achieved in a fit of anger.
After firing three arrows, Lan Hua revealed a sly smile, "Even if you can block the first arrow, how will you defend against the second and third?"
Shi Han was strolling leisurely by the edge of the mine, humming a little tune, his mind wandering to a certain beautiful woman, while also taking a jab at the young sect leader who would one day be unable to perform sexually.
However, he was, after all, a cultivator at the seventh level of the Initial Yuan Realm, and the invisible arrow still alerted him.
"Oh no, a sneak attack!"
However, Shi Han realized it too late. He didn't even have time to draw his sword. He barely managed to block the first arrow with the scabbard, but was knocked away by the impact.
The second arrow arrived in the blink of an eye.
A will to survive rose in Shi Han's heart. He barely managed to turn his body to the side in mid-air, but his right shoulder was still pierced by an invisible arrow.
"ah..."
He ultimately couldn't dodge the third arrow; it pierced his chest, ending his life.
Looking at the bloody hole in his chest, Shi Han had a last thought flash through his mind: "It's... Lan Hua!"
This happened in the blink of an eye; Qin Jue didn't realize someone had attacked him until Shi Han landed heavily on the ground.
After succeeding, Lan Hua used the Flowing Cloud Step to move quickly around the mine, firing a series of invisible arrows.
Every arrow hit its mark, and the Fire Sword Sect disciples around the mine screamed in agony, sending chills down Qin Jue's spine and gradually shattering his defenses.
Seeing that he was the only one left outside the mine, Qin Jue roared like a madman:
"Lan Hua, you bastard, if you have the guts, come out and fight me to the death!"
"What kind of man are you, resorting to assassination and sneak attacks? Even that spineless Mo Jun is much better than you!"
"Provocation won't work on me!"
Lan Hua snorted coldly, circled behind Qin Jue, gathered Yuan Power at her fingertips, and fired three more arrows at his back.
The art of archery emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, so it's crucial to eliminate any openings for the enemy and aim for a fatal blow.
Qin Jue only managed to block the first arrow; the other two arrows left two large, bloody holes in his body.
"What a powerful... arrow!" Qin Jue died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Don't blame me, blame the world for being too cruel!" Lan Hua said ruthlessly.
Lan Hua looked down into the mine pit, which seemed to have no bottom, making his scalp tingle.
He has a natural fear of heights, and even after traveling to this place, he still cannot overcome this fear.
"Even if you're afraid of heights, you have to go down now that things have come to this point!"
Using the Flowing Cloud Step, Lan Hua skillfully stepped on the protruding parts of the mine wall and successfully reached the bottom of the mine.
The mine floor almost scared Lan Hua.
Many dead bodies lay scattered on the ground, some with exposed bones, suggesting they had been there for some time.
"Damn it, this isn't a spirit mine anymore, it's a slave pit!"
Lan Hua walked deeper into the mine. Even with torches illuminating the way, it was still dim, and the sounds of mining hammers grew louder and louder.
Sudden.
Several scorching sword energies slashed towards Lan Hua, but fortunately, he skillfully dodged them using the Flowing Cloud Step.
A middle-aged man appeared in front of Lan Hua, with a mustache, holding a long sword, and a murderous look on his face.
Lan Hua did not recognize this person, but he felt that this person's cultivation had probably reached the Pure Yuan Realm, making him a master of the Innate Realm.
The so-called Pure Yuan Realm is when the Yuan Power in the Dantian is refined by the Dan Fire, removing impurities and transforming into a more refined innate Yuan Power, which is incomparable to the Initial Yuan Realm.
"Lanhua, you really are alive! It seems you managed to get here, so you've taken care of those useless guys upstairs!"
Who are you?
Lan Hua retreated several steps, her face full of vigilance, gripping her war bow tightly.
"Hmph! You don't even recognize me! I am Xu Yuan, the eldest disciple of the Fire Sword Sect!"
Lan Hua was taken aback, then laughed and said, "I remember now, but so what? You were still sent here by the sect, living in darkness!"
"Stop with your words! Anyone who enters here will not leave alive!"
Before Xu Yuan could finish speaking, Lan Hua took a few steps back, drew her bow, gathered an arrow, and shot it out.
This series of movements was perfectly natural, a result of Lan Hua's training on Blue Star.
However, Xu Yuan was quick-witted and agile, and easily dodged the arrow.
boom!
The powerful, invisible arrow blasted a small crater behind him; the ground there was not soft soil, but hard rock, demonstrating the arrow's power.
Lan Hua was startled. "I've encountered a master. How could he dodge my invisible arrow so quickly? How am I supposed to fight him?"
Xu Yuan drew his sword and attacked, trying to force Lan Hua to take the hit head-on; close-quarters combat was his advantage.
Lan Hua was naturally aware of her weaknesses.
Archery is only suitable for long-range attacks, not close-quarters combat, so he used the Flowing Cloud Step to move around Xu Yuan and increase the distance between them.
The two fought fiercely, creating a great commotion that immediately attracted a crowd of two hundred miners to watch.
One of the elders exclaimed, "It's the young sect leader! The young sect leader is still alive!"
This person was none other than Luo Fang, the former fourth elder of the Luo Fu Sect. Because he did not approve of killing the sect leader and overthrowing the Lan family, he was captured by the first elder, Bai Ye, and sent to the spirit mine of the Fire Sword Sect as a laborer.
They were more like slaves than laborers, because the spirit mine had been almost completely depleted.
After a whole day, they couldn't dig out many low-grade spirit stones; it was purely a matter of wanting them to die of exhaustion in the mine.
"Go, Young Sect Leader! We support you!"
Lan Hua gave a wry smile. His cultivation level was a whole major realm lower than Xu Yuan's; Xu Yuan was a dignified innate master.
Unbeknownst to them, the battlefield had shifted to the depths of the spirit mine.
Xu Yuan suddenly moved closer to Lan Hua and roared, "Trying to run? Watch my Fire Dance Whirlwind!"
A fiery, tornado-like sword aura swept outwards from Xu Yuan's center.
Lan Hua was caught in the sword energy and slammed heavily against the stone wall, wincing in pain. The onlookers were also hurt by the flying debris.
"You think you can save them?" Xu Yuan pointed his sword tip at Lan Hua.
Lan Hua was aware of her current disadvantages: low accuracy and unsuitability for close combat.
"It seems I have no choice but to use my ultimate move!"
Lan Hua reached his right hand into the quiver behind him, which contained the arrows he had worked on overnight.
Those are five talisman arrows!
The wooden arrow shaft was covered with yellow talisman paper, on which was drawn a swift wind talisman!
He spent a lot of mental energy last night to draw the Gale Talisman, which was thanks to his talent in the art of talismans.
The Gale Palace can greatly increase the speed of arrows, much like adding a powerful catapult to the arrows.
Lan Hua nocked an arrow, drew her bow, and locked onto Xu Yuan in one swift motion.
"Charm Arrow, go!"
The arrow, empowered by the Gale Talisman, condensed invisible arrow energy and shot through the air, reaching Xu Yuan in the blink of an eye, leaving him no time to react.
At the same time, the talisman arrow created a huge tail, which startled Lan Hua as well.
"Holy crap, the recoil is incredible!"
Xu Yuan barely managed to defend himself with his sword, but was sent flying by an arrow. His blood and qi surged violently, and he lost all his previous composure.
"What a powerful arrow! If I let you leave alive today, it would be a great calamity for my Fire Sword Sect!"
Xu Yuan used his movement technique to quickly move around Lan Hua, waiting for an opportunity to launch a close-range attack.
Lan Hua snorted, "A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert. You're nothing but a moving target!"
Using her clairvoyant skill, Lan Hua's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she locked onto Xu Yuan's trajectory. She then fired three arrows simultaneously, locking down three major acupoints on Xu Yuan's body.
boom!
As the three arrows pierced through his body, Xu Yuan looked on incredulously. "How...how did you do that?"
Lan Hua stretched her slightly aching shoulder and smiled calmly, "How could you possibly fathom the art of archery!"
"Go in peace!"
Xu Yuan collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Behind him, three talisman arrows blasted a large crater.
Even Lan Hua found it hard to believe that the talisman arrows she had rushed to make overnight possessed such terrifying power.
"Young Sect Master is mighty!"
A boy cheered; it was his little boy, Ping An.
