CHAPTER 453: 324 BOW WRAPPED KILLING SAND MAN!_3

With a great enemy at hand, the Guandong Army gathered all its strength, making the same choice as the Shaohai Army.

Xiang Ying hung his dead-fish eyes and looked coldly at Lin Shiwei: "What about you? A dozen layers?"

Lin Shiwei’s squad had nine people in total, and with Liu Junlong who fled back, that made ten layers of Killing Sand Man.

But there were also three Ancient Desolate Generals, and three Ancient Wild Horses, all of whom had given their lives to Lin Shiwei.

If you count one life as one layer, Lin Shiwei had at least sixteen layers of Killing Sand Man.

16+13.

layers of Killing Sand Man—was that enough to break through Xiang Qi’s defense?

No one knew.

Lin Shiwei only knew: the more layers of Killing Sand Man, the better!

Du Yu suddenly spoke: "Is our alliance still on?"

Xiang Ying: "If you give me your sand, Guandong’s glory can count your Shaohai Army in."

"Mhm." Du Yu nodded in agreement.

The alliance was previously forged when intel was lacking and both sides faced the shared enemy: Shandai Army.

But now, things had changed!

Although the enemy was the same, both Shaohai and Guandong now had the ability to stack sands!

With conflict at the core interests level, the so-called alliance naturally crumbled!

What’s rather amusing is—the two sides were both enemies and each other’s medicine.

There’s no point teaming up.

The only way forward was to overcome the other side, seize their sand layers, stack them all on one person, and only then would someone be qualified to go up against the Shandai Army!

This battle was inevitable—and it needed to end fast!

After all, no one knew how long Liu Juncai could keep Xiang Qi trapped.

"Go! Shiwei!" Du Yu shouted in a low voice.

"Nai~~~" Lin Shiwei clenched her long spear tighter, long legs squeezing the deer’s belly hard.

Xiang Ying’s forever listless, dead-fish eyes finally grew sinister and sharp.

"Caw~!" The Swift Flame Eagle on Liu Chuang’s shoulder spread its wings and soared high, scarlet feathers flapping wide!

In an instant, fierce wind rose and scorching waves crashed out!

The reason Liu Chuang hadn’t been turned into fine sand on Xiang Ying’s dagger was probably because he also owned a Spirit-level Demon Pet.

"Try to knock the Desolare Shadow Wolf away, hold Xiang Ying at bay for now!" Du Yu pulled his bow to the side, knocking an arrow, a layer of Demon Soul rising over his forehead as he pressed his brow against the girl’s back.

Du Yu transmitted his thoughts: "Xiang Ying has a high layer count of Killing Sand Man. Don’t be reckless—wait for me!"

Hearing this, Lin Shiwei licked her lips, feeling a faint thrill rise in her heart.

She liked those words: wait for me.

So full of confidence and decisiveness!

He’d taken over command—this was a clear signal!

In earlier battles, Du Yu had only sat behind her, always having her back.

"Nai~~~" The Dust Spirit Deer traced an arc, circling past the raging storm and fiery sea, charging straight at the Desolare Shadow Wolf.

"Whoosh!"

The youth atop the deer released his grip, a Fire Arrow shot out at blazing speed.

Liu Chuang’s expression grew grave—he was an archer too, and he found this incredible!

With the Dust Spirit Deer running at such insane speed, turning mid-run, how the hell did Du Yu shoot that arrow so precisely over here?

Luckily, they were still far apart.

Liu Chuang immediately sidestepped several meters, dodging while also readying his own bow and arrow.

The next instant, the youth atop the deer suddenly vanished!

Liu Chuang’s heart tightened—five meters to his side, the arrow that should have missed suddenly exploded!

Ancient Yan· Shadow-Luring Fire Fox!

"Pfft!"

Liu Chuang’s face changed drastically. He whirled and aimed toward the sound of the explosion.

"Wuu!" Little Tai Sui let out a bear roar!

His master had given him the Contract’s orders: the moment he came out, he would unleash Chi Bear Charge... huh?

Just as Little Tai Sui kicked into Chi Bear Charge, he suddenly felt a massive force from behind!

Du Yu, drawing his bow and nocking arrow, slammed his foot hard on Tai Sui’s back.

Off you go~

The Little Chi Bear shot out like a cannonball, hugging the ground as he sped toward Liu Chuang.

Little Tai Sui, just like Fire LuLu before, little short legs flailing in the air, but never touching the ground.

Liu Chuang’s eyes popped wide in disbelief!

"Ton!" He couldn’t care about anything else, immediately loosing the bowstring.

The Fire Arrow turned into a huge flaming net, instantly shrouding Little Tai Sui.

"Wuu!" Little Tai Sui was totally unafraid!

Even as he was captured, he didn’t slow down one bit, slamming his head right at Liu Chuang.

Eye of Burning Sun· Hunting Moment!

In Du Yu’s eyes, the flow of the world seemed to slow down abruptly.

His vision showed Little Tai Sui tangled in the flaming net, his furry head closing in on Liu Chuang’s abdomen.

Tai Sui in the net had wild charging power!

The end of the flaming net undulated like a wave, rolling in irregular patterns through the air.

Du Yu narrowed his eyes a bit, and released his grip.

With a muffled "thud"!

As the world resumed its normal speed, under Tai Sui’s headbutt, Liu Chuang’s Demon Breath Battle Robe trembled savagely.

Chi Bear Charge, after all, was a Control Skill, not an Output Skill.

At that instant, Liu Chuang’s body, flying back through the air, was completely locked up.

He couldn’t even move a finger!

It was at this moment—with the bowstring pulled taut—a whistling sound split the air!

Continuous Arrow cut straight through the fire net’s waves, piercing through a hole in the net and hitting Liu Chuang’s chest Black Pearl dead on.

"Crack!"

A Fire Arrow struck the enemy’s chest, and the sound that followed was like glass shattering—Liu Chuang’s Demon Breath Battle Robe burst apart!

"Ding!"

The second Fire Arrow nailed directly into the fletching of the previous arrow, blasting the Black Pearl and driving deep into Liu Chuang’s chest!

"Huh?"

"Holy shit!"

"No, no way..." In the distance, voices of shock rose from the Guandong Army camp.

One of the noble Guandong leaders, and a Spirit-level Demon Beast owner to boot—Liu Chuang—was actually instant-killed by the enemy!?

Completely helpless, with zero suspense.

From the start of the fight till now—it’d barely been three seconds!

The entire battle’s excitement was less than the undulations of that fire net!

It... it was just over?

"Cease attack! Guandong’s Liu Chuang and Swift Flame Eagle are out!" A soldier popped his head out from the ground.

As he spoke, the soldier’s face was just as shocked, looking up at Du Yu aboveground.

Du Yu ignored him, turning his head to look into the distance.

At this moment, Lin Shiwei was galloping through the air on her deer, while Xiang Ying was leaning against the Triple Earth City, creating a home field advantage.

For a moment, Du Yu’s eyes blazed like torches, locking with the girl’s dead-fish eyes.

"Whoosh~"

A streak of yellow sand suddenly shot up from the ground, twining itself around Du Yu’s Continuous Pearl Bow.

Killing Sand Man, layers +1!

Du Yu drew his bow again, hellish Fire Demon Breath pulsing out like a heat wave.

His eyes locked fully onto the Wolf-Side Maiden.

My value... is far more than just this!

Back then, I only took your dagger—because you weren’t my target.

But now...

You have 13 layers of Killing Sand Man on you, don’t you?

"Ton!"

Bowstring pulled taut, Fire Arrow nocked again!
