One Surprise After Another

Autumn Wind’s Three Folds.

Black sucked in a breath of cold air, his figure shifting to the side.

“Rip!”

The arrow grazed past his ribs, the sharp wind tearing through his expensive formal coat.

It left a burning, bloody mark on his skin.

But it wasn’t over.

After grazing past Black, this second arrow drew a sharp arc in the air.

It turned around and shot towards his back again!

‘It really is a tracking arrow!’

Black’s heart sank. This oracle skill was just as troublesome as he had expected.

Unavoidable, he could only take it head-on!

He twisted his waist and turned, the muscles in his arms bulging as he poured all his spiritual power into the Overlord Spear.

The spear shaft cut through the air with a heavy whistling sound and accurately smashed into the second arrow flying towards him!

“Clang!”

The explosive sound of metal on metal made his eardrums ache!

A huge force came from the spear shaft. The Overlord Spear trembled violently and almost flew out of his hand.

Black felt a sharp pain in his arms, his hand bones nearly fracturing.

The immense force pushed him back several meters before he managed to stabilize himself.

‘If the second arrow is like this, what about the last two?!’

He frowned, not daring to think about it.

Without a moment’s rest, the third arrow appeared.

The green light on this arrow was even more brilliant, and its size had expanded.

The arrowhead was firmly locked onto Black, and it came whistling with a destructive aura!

Its speed was far greater than the first two.

‘I can’t block it!’

‘I absolutely cannot block it head-on!’

Black’s eyes sharpened, and he made an extremely decisive decision.

He threw his spear!

“Spear Throw!”

Pouring all the spiritual power from his body into his arms, he shouted and used the skill Spear Throw!

The heavy Overlord Spear transformed into a streak of red light that tore through the night.

It was thrown head-on towards the third arrow!

“BOOM!”

Tip against tip!

The spearhead and the arrowhead collided violently in mid-air.

A deafeningly sharp explosion sounded, and sparks flew!

The next moment, the Overlord Spear was sent flying by the immense force, spinning off to who knows where.

But it had successfully deflected the third arrow’s trajectory, and its power had been greatly weakened.

The third arrow finally landed crookedly in the ground in front of Black.

Its fletching still trembled.

However, Black’s heart did not relax in the slightest. Instead, it was in his throat.

Because the final arrow of the Four-Star Consecutive Shot.

The most terrifying fourth arrow was coming!

A golden light flashed in his hand, and the Demon-Cleaver was already in his grasp.

The moment he switched swords, the fourth arrow appeared!

Its entire body was wreathed in a heart-pounding green energy. It was not large, appearing as only a small green dot to the naked eye.

It was clear that the spiritual power had been condensed to the extreme.

Wherever it passed, the air let out a mournful cry!

Black took a deep breath, held the Demon-Cleaver vertically in front of him, and gripped the hilt with both hands.

He channeled all the spiritual power he could muster in his body, poured it into the sword, and activated his current strongest defensive skill.

“Protective Sword Aura! Defend!”

“Voom!”

The Demon-Cleaver erupted in a brilliant golden light.

An incomparably solid, giant golden sword phantom formed, firmly protecting Black behind it.

The next moment, the fourth arrow slammed viciously into the golden sword phantom!

“Crack!”

A dense series of sounds, like shattering glass, rang out.

The seemingly indestructible golden sword phantom, under the impact of the small arrow, was covered in web-like cracks.

It only lasted for less than two seconds.

The golden sword phantom completely shattered, dissipating into a sky full of light particles!

And that fourth arrow, although its light had dimmed considerably, still shot towards Black!

It was in front of him in the blink of an eye!

The arrow was too close, far beyond his ability to dodge.

Black could only grit his teeth, raise the Demon-Cleaver, and prepare to take this arrow head-on.

He could already foresee that even after being weakened by the sword aura, this arrow was enough to seriously injure him.

The green arrow of death rapidly enlarged in his pupils!

Just at this critical moment.

“Voom! Voom! Voom!”

Several layers of magical shields, emitting a cold white light, appeared out of thin air.

They stacked one after another in front of Black.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The black arrow was unstoppable, piercing through the shields one after another.

But with each shattered layer, the arrow’s light dimmed a little more, and its speed slowed down visibly.

Immediately after, a slender figure appeared in front of Black as if by teleportation.

In the night, her waterfall of black hair danced, her presence commanding.

Like Princess Kaguya descending to the mortal world.

Black was momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected the newcomer to be Jianye.

Facing the arrow that was still coming with residual force, Jianye’s eyes were cold. She waved her Moon-Guide Staff!

“Ice Seal!”

“Water Dragon!”

Two high-tier spells, ice element and water element, were cast simultaneously.

Extreme cold and a turbulent stream of water wrapped around the arrow!

The moment the two elemental forces of different attributes came into contact, an elemental reaction occurred.

The cold air rapidly condensed under the envelopment of the water stream!

“Crack!”

That astonishingly powerful fourth arrow, less than a meter away from Jianye, was frozen in thick, solid ice!

It turned into an icicle and, with a clatter, fell to the ground.

The crisis was successfully averted.

Looking at Jianye, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Black was filled with shock and disbelief.

‘Why is she here? And why did she save me?’

Jianye had no time to address Black’s confusion.

She gripped the Moon-Guide Staff tightly, her expression grave as she stared warily into the endless darkness ahead.

Her cold voice reminded him.

“Don’t just stand there! He could attack again at any moment!”

Before Jianye’s words fell, killing intent rose again from the depths of the darkness ahead.

This time, it was not a single arrow, but three arrows arranged in a “品” character formation.

The three arrows tore through the air, aimed respectively at Black’s brow, his heart, and Jianye’s throat!

Although Black didn’t know what Jianye was thinking, now was clearly not the time to ask.

His eyes narrowed.

He shouted to Jianye in a low voice.

“I’ll go in front, you behind. We’ll pin him down!”

His body moved, spiritual power surging.

“Single-Line Slash!”

He took a step forward, twisted his wrist, and the Demon-Cleaver drew a condensed golden arc.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Three crisp sounds rang out as he parried the three arrows.

The huge impact force made Black’s arm go numb, and his figure swayed slightly.

“Use your Top-Tier spell, Sunfire Blast, to force him out!”

Black shouted.

Hearing this, Jianye was quite surprised. She hadn’t expected Black to know that she knew a Top-Tier spell.

This Sunfire Blast was her trump card.

As a Mid-Tier Sorcerer, others already thought it was heaven-defying for her to know high-tier spells.

No one had ever suspected that she also knew a Top-Tier spell.

Jianye had been counting on these spells to turn the tide.

Now that Black had said it outright, she was naturally very surprised.

Although surprised, Jianye knew that this was the right choice.

Facing an enemy hidden in the darkness, there was a very simple way to force him out.

And that was with overwhelming firepower!
