Zhang Yuan reached out and simultaneously grasped three fine iron arrows with his fingers.
The next moment, he nocked the arrows and completely drew back the Eagle-Shooting Bow, aiming at the bandits galloping in the distance.
At the same time, pure Primordial Gang Qi silently infused into the bow, making this profound longbow emit a faint glow, instantly unleashing its inherent power.
Bang!
The bowstring vibrated, and three fine iron arrows, filled with power, shot out suddenly.
They covered a distance of over a hundred steps in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the bandits!
The bandit leader at the forefront had considerable strength and was prepared beforehand, immediately raising the round shield in his left hand to protect himself.
Puff!
His reaction was very accurate, as a fine iron arrow hit the center of the shield precisely.
But it pierced through the thick shield instantly.
"Ah!"
This bandit leader, with a cultivation nearing peak Tier Four, let out a shrill scream.
As the fine iron arrow passed through the shield, the contained Gang Force erupted violently, causing the front half of the arrow to explode into dozens of fragments, all striking his body and face.
Though these metal fragments were small, their explosive force was incredibly strong, instantly turning him into a hive of wounds.
The bandit leader lost his balance due to the intense pain and fell off his horse.
Only to be trampled over by the mounts of his followers behind him!
In contrast, two other bandits were slightly luckier.
Each took a fine iron arrow from Zhang Yuan, dying instantly and mercifully.
But for the bandits still charging, a nightmare was about to unfold.
Zhang Yuan, mounted on the back of the Gray-toothed Lynx, repeatedly drew the Eagle-Shooting Bow, releasing deadly arrows.
He seemed oblivious to exhaustion, his left hand holding the bow steadily, and the fine iron arrows appearing in his hand seemed endless, each infused with terrifying power.
Zhang Yuan’s archery might not have reached the Grandmaster level, but he had specialized in archery, and the Eagle-Shooting Bow in his hand was a top-tier profound artifact, supplemented by his peak Tier Six level Primordial Gang Force...
The faster the bandits charged and the closer they got to Zhang Yuan, the quicker they died!
Within a range of two to three hundred steps, none could dodge his arrows — nor withstand them.
In just a brief moment, nearly a third of the bandits charging toward Zhang Yuan had fallen.
Although the distance between the two sides had greatly reduced, the remaining bandits were already visibly shaken.
They were by no means cowards; in fact, every bandit of the Cyan Wolf Camp had blood on their hands, each belligerent and fierce.
Yet even these bandits could not ignore death, watching as their companions were slain by Zhang Yuan’s arrows one after another, fear piling up within them until it shattered their nerves.
Someone among the bandits shouted, and the once orderly charge suddenly fell into chaos.
Some ran to the right, some to the left, others slowed down.
But a few truly fearless ones, heedless of everything, grabbed the short axes hanging by their saddles and hurled them toward Zhang Yuan with all their might.
They didn’t expect the flying axes to kill Zhang Yuan, merely hoping to create some disturbance.
However, just as the flying axes neared, Zhang Yuan suddenly freed his right hand and drew his saber, slashing the axes away.
The next moment, the Gray-toothed Lynx beneath him dashed forward.
The speed burst of the Level 5 Gray-toothed Lynx was astonishing, closing the distance between Zhang Yuan and the bandits in mere breaths.
And then, Zhang Yuan once again swung the Taowu Saber.
A streak of Sword Aura flashed before the bandits’ eyes.
Filling them with a fear of death!
Two bandits had no time to dodge and were sliced in half by the Sword Aura.
The Gray-toothed Lynx then leaped into the air, pouncing on another bandit, using its sharp claws and teeth to rip his head apart.
This intermediate profound beast was truly demonstrating its combat prowess!
The saber light flashed again, and another head flew into the sky.
Zhang Yuan, plunging into the midst of the bandits, was like a fierce tiger charging into a flock of sheep, every move a deadly killing move.
The cry of the warhorses and the bandits’ screams intertwined, causing the faces of the bandits further back to change color!
Yet the remaining bandits had no time to aid their companions; Zhang Yuan, slaughtering ruthlessly, easily caught up with the escaping enemies, mercilessly cutting them down one by one.
In the end, only a few fled his pursuit.
The Gray-toothed Lynx stopped its charge.
Zhang Yuan sheathed the Taowu Saber, coldly gazing at the distant Cyan Wolf Camp.
Once more, he took out the Eagle-Shooting Bow.
And resumed his distant shots.
This time, the Cyan Wolf Camp bandits could bear it no longer, and several riders sped out of the ranks.
In fact, bandits frequently used such long-range harassment tactics.
Like a pack of wolves, they circled their targets with frequent probing attacks, using bow and arrow harassment to create casualties, seeking the target’s weak points.
Yet being subjected to the same tactics, with Zhang Yuan’s archery being so sharp, even the most cunning of bandits couldn’t suppress their brutality.
Having learned from previous experiences, the bandits encircling Zhang Yuan this time were of noticeably higher caliber.
Moreover, the skilled among them swiftly dispersed, launching their charge in a zig-zag pattern.
In an attempt to diminish Zhang Yuan’s archery effectiveness as much as possible.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan chuckled, patting the neck of the Gray-toothed Lynx.
The beast immediately sped off to the right.
Its full-speed charge was faster than the mounts of the bandits.
And not just a little faster.
Thus, Zhang Yuan easily widened the distance between himself and several bandit experts, leading them on a large circle back toward the main force of the Cyan Wolf Camp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Yet again, fine iron arrows shot forth.
"Ah!"
Cries of pain rang out as several bandits fell, hit by arrows.
All the bandits of the Cyan Wolf Camp were enraged, letting out beast-like howls, their blood-red eyes simultaneously charging toward Zhang Yuan.
These bandits could endure pain and were accustomed to battle and death.
But they could not tolerate being slaughtered like pigs and dogs so easily.
A mass of bandits gathered, their hoofbeats and kicked-up dust roared to the heavens.
Their battle qi soared skyward.
Even a Tier Six powerhouse would hesitate to face such momentum.
Zhang Yuan decisively turned and fled.
But in such a heated moment, how could the bandits let him escape right before their eyes?
Thus an intense chase began on the desert gobi.
Zhang Yuan ran ahead, while hundreds of bandits pursued him with all their might, creating a spectacular scene.
