Heavenly Alliance
Jiang Yingyue took deep breaths. At this moment, her heart was unusually calm, with only her hands still trembling. She stood in front of the door, knowing that if she went in, she would have the chance to kill her enemy.
Regardless, she still needed to safely rescue Ye Qingzhu, uncover the truth about the Mingyue Sect, and learn the truth about Ji Yinglei. These beliefs acted like an invisible force, prompting her to push open the door.
There was no one there.
It was just like the city of Hangzhou outside; there wasn't a soul around, it was eerily quiet, and the only sound was the dripping of rain.
Looking at the vast Heavenly Alliance, Jiang Yingyue began to wonder where Ye Qingzhu and Ji Yinglei might be. However, just as she was struggling with this question, the ground around her seemed to tremble abnormally.
A dark shadow appeared above without warning, startling Jiang Yingyue who quickly dodged away, raising clouds of dust. When she could open her eyes again, she saw that the person in front of her was none other than the Shield Bearer!
No matter how many times she tried, Jiang Yingyue could not face this enemy with a calm mind. The shield bearer was definitely the tallest and strongest she had ever seen. Just standing there and his murderous eyes were enough to make Jiang Yingyue breathless.
She still remembered the overwhelming battle at Nanfeng Tower. If it weren't for Ji Yinglei, she probably would have died under his black iron shield long ago.
"You," the shield bearer spoke slowly, his voice muffled and deep as he wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face, "prepare to die."
He swung his shield to strike Jiang Yingyue, but she dodged it. "Where are the two of them?" Jiang Yingyue shouted, but received no reply from the shield bearer.
The enormous black iron shield exuded a natural sense of oppression, and even the arrows that Jiang Yingyue fired with all her might could not penetrate it. She even wondered: Is this really the power of a divine bow?
Fortunately, after more than two months, Jiang Yingyue's skills have improved a lot compared to before. With her agile figure, she can hold her own against the shield users. However, this cannot continue indefinitely. She must find a way to win in one fell swoop.
However, the Shield Bearer gave her no chance to breathe. The black iron shield in his hands was as easy to use as an ordinary weapon; Jiang Yingyue couldn't even find a gap in it. Watching the shield smash one long, narrow dent after another into the ground, Jiang Yingyue remembered the Bell Bearer's words.
“Clang…” After a moment of thought, Jiang Yingyue had an idea. The shield bearer was completely protected from head to toe, except for his ears, which were exposed. That was his weakness.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yingyue, with her agility, quickly circled around behind the shield bearer, drew her bow, and nocked an arrow. In an instant, the shield bearer heard a sharp whistling sound past his ear. He immediately turned to his right, but there was no one there. Jiang Yingyue had already jumped to his left and, with full concentration, shot an arrow from behind him, straight at his neck!
"Ding." A crisp sound.
Jiang Yingyue's eyes widened involuntarily; the arrow had actually been deflected by the shield bearer.
The simultaneous firing of the two arrows caught the shield bearer off guard, but it also meant that before he could fully face the right, the second arrow was already fired. At that moment, he only needed to slightly raise his shield to easily block the arrow.
The shield bearer turned around smoothly, and Jiang Yingyue was still in the air with no way to avoid it. The next second, she was sent flying several meters away.
The powerful impact sent excruciating pain through her entire body, rendering her completely immobile. Worse still, the shield bearer was closing in; the next strike would surely kill Jiang Yingyue!
