Chapter 2664 Archery Showdown

The fifth fighting stage!

Du Long looked at the opponent in front of him curiously, but Hou Jian closed his eyes slightly and did not look at him at all. His slightly upturned face was full of coldness and arrogance.

Du Long didn't care about his opponent's attitude. His eyes glanced at the ancient war bow held diagonally in Waiting's right hand, as well as the black quiver and brown arrows on his back.

The bow and arrows used by Houjian were obviously not the standard equipment provided by the martial arts arena, and he did not wear the soft armor provided by the martial arts arena, but only wore a relatively tight-fitting gray robe.

According to the rules of the martial arts arena, in order to ensure a relatively fair and impartial martial arts challenge, only the standard soft armor of the martial arts arena can be worn in the archery challenge. People like Hou Jian obviously do not need any protective armor by default.

As for the requirements for bow and arrow equipment, they are not too strict. You can use your own crossbow, but you can only use the special arrows provided by the martial arts arena.

Obviously, the arrows in the arrow pot behind Hou Jian were provided by the martial arts arena, and he was not participating in the archery challenge in violation of regulations!

"My name is Du Long! What do you call me?!"

While waiting for the off-site bets to be placed, Du Long finally couldn't help but ask Hou Jian. He was about to fight the opponent. He couldn't even know his name, right? !

"You do not know who I am?!"

Hou Jian's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes, staring meaningfully at the seemingly inconspicuous opponent in front of him.

"Haha!" Seeing that the opponent finally opened his eyes, Du Long scratched his head and sneered: "When I signed up just now, I only knew that I was going to challenge my opponent on the fifth martial arts platform, but I didn't hear the staff mention my opponent. what is it call..."

Hou Jian looked at his opponent with a sneer on his face expressionlessly, feeling a little sad for Du Long in his heart.

The martial arts arena obviously wanted to complete a hundred victories as soon as possible, so it sent the stupid young man in front of him to the martial arts arena in a daze.

In fact, Hou Jian didn't know that the martial arts arena was intentional, but it was only one of them. The other was that Du Long didn't care at all what kind of opponent he would challenge under the same level conditions. This was the main reason why he didn't seriously study the opponent's strength.

Otherwise, as long as any challenger finds out that he is about to challenge a terrifying opponent who has completed ninety-nine battles, he will definitely not challenge Hou Jian.

"Remember! My name is Hou Jian! Don't die under my arrow while still being confused..." While secretly shaking his head, Hou Jian finally said coldly: "But... you can be me. You should feel honored even if you die."

Du Long was slightly startled. The guy in front of him not only looked ruthless, but also had some excessive arrogance and self-confidence. Why did he think that he would definitely win a hundred victories? !

"Wait a minute!" With his mind racing, Du Long immediately grasped the key points in the other party's words and said, "What did you just say?! I am your most victorious opponent?!"

"Hahaha..."

Before the arrow could answer, bursts of mocking laughter suddenly rang out from the surroundings. Many spectators who were paying attention to their martial arts arena were all amused by Du Long's silly question.

Even Xin'er, who was paying attention to him in the luxury box on the top floor, stretched out her hand to touch her forehead speechlessly, obviously having no shame to look at this 'distinguished guest' whom she had just served!

Du Long glanced at the surrounding auditorium inexplicably. He obviously didn't understand why those people were laughing at him, and he didn't know that because of his stupid behavior, his odds of winning had increased several times.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he looks like a challenger who was tricked into entering the arena to die. It would be weird if anyone still bet on him to win!

Seeing that there were more and more chips betting on Hou Jian's victory, Wu Douchang had to lower the odds of Hou Jian's victory again, which of course also increased the odds of Du Long's victory accordingly.

If Hou Jian wins, he pays one point to one, and if Du Long wins, he pays one hundred and ten!

With such exaggerated odds, almost 99% of the people at the scene were betting on Waiting Arrow to win, but only a handful of people were beating Du Long.

There was also one bet that Xin'er gritted her teeth and made. She had just earned more than a dozen high-grade spiritual stones from Du Long as a tip. The high-grade spiritual stones that defeated him in that match were regarded as Yu Xin's sympathy vote. .

"Don't you even understand what a hundred victories are?!" Hou Jian, who was always cold and didn't like to talk nonsense, seemed to be amused by Du Long's silly look, and he made an exception and explained: "Before you. ...I have won ninety-nine games in a row, and all my first ninety-nine opponents are dead!"

"Isn't it?!" Du Long did not show any fear on his face, but instead muttered with some dissatisfaction: "How could you be so cruel?! Why do you want to kill all the challengers?!"

Regarding the cruelty of the killing methods, Du Long's hands were stained with the blood of countless enemies, and he would not feel disgusted just because he was waiting for arrows to kill ninety-nine challengers.

He just felt that the challenge on the fighting stage was not a life-or-death enemy between the two sides, and there was no need to kill all the challengers.

"Hmph!" Faced with his doubts, Hou Jian snorted with disdain: "Since you are standing on this martial arts stage, you must use all your strength to truly respect your opponent. Since you have chosen to challenge Just be prepared to be shot!"

Du Long nodded slightly, and it could be seen from Hou Jian's eyes that he was not a real killer, but a person who was in awe of the challenge of martial arts. It was because of awe that he would respect any opponent who challenged him.

Either don't fight. Once you choose to fight, you must go all out and won't hold anything back during the challenge!

"That's true!" Du Long looked at the other party with a smile, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "If you want to gain some insights during the battle, you must be prepared to withstand death, and you must go all out to Really rewarding!”

Hou Jian looked at Du Long in surprise. After knowing that he had won ninety-nine battles and shot all the challengers, he could still have such a nonchalant smile on his face? !

Could it be that he simply let go of all the fear in his heart because he knew he was going to die? !

No matter what the reason was, Hou Jian's disdain for Du Long in his heart became much lighter. At least the opponent in front of him was worth taking a high look at.

clang!

The referee on the side finally rang the bell for the start of the game, and a magic circle energy shield immediately rose from the martial arts stage, completely covering the fifth martial arts stage.

"The game has begun! Your name is Du Long, right?! Prepare to accept the arrival of death!"

Standing at one end of the wide fighting platform, Waiting for Arrow slowly raised the ancient war bow in his right hand, then stretched out his left hand to pull out three arrows from the arrow pot behind his back, and placed them directly on the bow string without immediately pulling the bow string. It was obvious that Waiting for the opponent to be ready to fight.

On the other side, Du Long casually raised the standard longbow in his left hand, then stretched out his right hand to pull out three arrows from the quiver, and then placed them lightly on the bowstring.

It can be seen that Hou Jian is probably left-handed. His and Du Long's methods of using arrows are completely opposite. People with a discerning eye can also see that Hou Jian's starting position is very standard. Du Long is obviously a novice.

"Hmph!" Seeing Du Long's light and airy way of launching the arrow, Hou Jian, who had never spoken much, made an exception again and snorted coldly: "I don't know if you are really not afraid of death, or if you are an expert and are bold! Be careful, I'm going to Launch an all-out attack!"

I don't know if this was a kind reminder or a public mockery, but Du Long had a better impression of this opponent. At least he would remind himself before taking action, instead of launching a surprise attack first to win!

Whoosh!

In full view of everyone, three brown arrows shot through the air in the shape of a glyph and shot towards Du Long. Du Long did not hesitate to shoot out the three arrows, and also went straight to meet the incoming arrows in a glyph shape.

With three crisp sounds, the six arrows collided together in the air, and then exploded one after another!

There was a burst of soft cheers immediately in the martial arts arena. People obviously did not expect that in this first tentative exchange of attacks, Du Long was not weaker than Hou Jian at all.

He was still the last defender, so he was at a disadvantage, but he still easily caught the three arrows waiting for them.

"Not bad!" Hou Jian's pupils shrank slightly and he shouted in a deep voice: "But this is just a courtesy test. Next, you will be faced with a blow like a violent storm, so be careful when taking it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Waiting's left hand reaching towards the quiver to draw out arrows. The speed was so fast that the trajectory of the arrows drawn by his left hand was almost invisible.

In an instant, it was as if hundreds of archers were shooting at Du Long, and the sky was covered with arrows, and they were shooting towards Du Long!

It can be seen that after waiting for arrows to extract the arrows from the arrow pot, no matter how many arrows he extracts, the arrow pot will be refilled immediately. There is a universe in the arrow pot used by practitioners, and it is definitely not used by ordinary people. The arrow pot can't be compared!

On the other side, facing the overwhelming rain of arrows fired from the sky, Du Long did not feel nervous at all. He also began to quickly draw the bow and shoot arrows. The technique of shooting arrows was slightly green at the beginning, and gradually became more and more familiar. stand up.

Snap, snap, snap. . .

On the fighting stage, countless arrows were constantly colliding head-on, and in the blink of an eye, countless broken arrows covered the ground. This scene was absolutely breathtaking.

"Wow! Where did this master of archery come from?! He was actually able to catch most of the attacks from waiting for arrows?! Even if there were some fish that slipped through the net, he easily avoided them in the end... "

A scream of great surprise rang out from the audience, shouting out the voices of many people.

As his words fell, no one continued to talk about the battle like him. Most of the people who were paying attention to the battle were all holding their breath and watching the fierce archery duel on the fifth martial arts platform!

Gradually, as Du Long gained a deeper understanding of how to draw arrows quickly, his arrow drawing speed became faster and faster, and soon caught up with the waiting arrow's arrow drawing speed.

As an archery master, Hou Jian can naturally feel the terrifying growth rate of Du Long firsthand. The process of shooting arrows from the awkward technique at the beginning to the rapid growth cannot be faked!

Snap, snap, snap. . .

After an unknown amount of time, the arrow rain offensive on the fifth fighting platform suddenly stopped. The arrow rain in the sky collided with each other and then fell to the ground like raindrops.

It was only at this moment that everyone was shocked to find that a layer of broken arrows half as tall as a man had been laid out on the ground between the two opponents!

Then I saw Hou Jian wave his hand gently, and the stack of remaining arrows disappeared out of thin air. It was obvious that he took the initiative to put it into a certain space magic weapon.

"I didn't expect... I underestimated you!" Hou Jian stared at Du Long with a deep look, and said with some surprise: "Since we can't distinguish high and low in terms of archery speed, then we will start with other aspects. Let’s compete!”

"I'm so happy!" Du Long replied with a smile still on his face: "No matter what archery skills you have, just show them to me, and I will definitely do my best to follow them!"

Hou Jian nodded slightly, then reached out and slowly pulled out another arrow from behind, then bent his bow and aimed at Du Long, who also took out an arrow and pointed it at him.

I saw that the arrow on the waiting bow gradually erupted with a layer of halo. This layer of halo appeared golden yellow, which should be adding metallic power to the arrow.

"Be careful to catch my arrow!"

Perhaps because of his love for talents, Hou Jian shouted without hesitation and shot the arrow. The originally brown arrow immediately turned into a golden light and went straight towards Du Long.

As early as the opponent injected metallic energy into the arrow, Du Long also injected metallic energy into the arrow, and then shot the arrow directly.

clang!

The two golden lights collided in the air, making a loud sound like a metal collision. The two golden lights exploded on the spot, blooming like a golden firework in mid-air.

Due to the addition of metallic energy, the result of this collision was shattering. The two arrows instantly exploded into powder, as bright as two meteors colliding in the sky!

Hou Jian's pupils suddenly shrank, and the gaze he looked at Du Long became extremely solemn. This tentative attack was enough to explain many problems. At least Du Long's strength had been confirmed!

Boo hoo hoo. . .

Clang clang clang. . .

Arrows rained across the sky again, and the martial arts arena was like countless fireworks blooming out of thin air. The dazzling and dazzling scenes dazzled countless spectators, who were all excitedly waiting for the winner to be decided here.

People were looking forward to Du Long, the dark horse who suddenly emerged, to defeat Hou Jian beyond everyone's expectations and end his record of ninety-nine wins.

Of course, the mood of many spectators who had bet on the victory of the arrow could only be described as uneasy!

In a private room on the top floor, a maid named Xin'er looked at the fifth martial arts platform with her cute mouth wide open throughout the whole process, almost forgetting to serve her new guests.
