Chapter 998: Breaking Through Thousands Alone (Part 2)

A thousand steps away from the convoy, a white-haired man observed the bridal convoy with a detached gaze.

His face was weathered, his right eye covered by a leather patch, and a deep scar marked his left cheek.

The surrounding bandits looked towards him with a mix of awe and fear.

For this white-haired man was the leader of the White Wolf Bandits, known as the strongest, "White Wolf."

No one knew White Wolf’s true identity, but since he took control of the bandits, their power had rapidly grown, soon becoming the rulers of the West Sea Prairie.

Those who dared oppose White Wolf had long since been buried beneath the grass!

Thus, when White Wolf issued the Summon Order, all bandits receiving the order rushed to gather, ready to make a big score!

"Big brother, I heard that Princess Qingyun is as beautiful as a goddess, with a presence that captures the world," said a fiercely charismatic bandit, leaning closer and speaking in a low voice. "Instead of letting Third Prince have her, why don’t you…"

Before he could finish, he was met by White Wolf’s icy glare, causing him to shrink back.

White Wolf said lightly, "Gao San, remember, we are here to build up our strength for our grand ambitions. Don’t let being a bandit for too long make you think you are truly a thief!"

The fierce-looking bandit immediately nodded obediently, "Yes, I… damn!"

He suddenly cursed because he had just witnessed the scene of the bandit sent out being brutally killed.

Anger surged within him!

White Wolf’s expression also changed, his gaze turning dangerously intense.

In the next moment, a more infuriating sight occurred; an opponent charged forward alone like a knight.

Even from nearly a thousand meters away, both the fierce bandits and White Wolf felt disrespected and ridiculed!

"Kill him!"

White Wolf called out in a deep voice, "I want to use this man’s skull as my goblet!"

"Awoo~"

A chilling howl rang out around them.

The bandits swiftly raised their longbows, nocking arrows aimed at the charging enemy.

In the next instant, the sound of bowstrings echoed endlessly as hundreds of powerful arrows rained down on Wang Chen.

Each bandit was an expert archer; though the power of their longbows was not as strong as those used in the military, their unique techniques allowed them to shoot arrows over great distances, delivering deadly blows to their foes.

This barrage not only completely covered Wang Chen but also sealed off all his escape routes!

The bandits imagined Wang Chen being shot to pieces, their faces twisted into malicious smiles.

However, their grins suddenly froze in place.

For just as the storm of arrows was about to engulf Wang Chen, the arrows, which could pierce through armor, were suddenly swept aside as if struck by a violent wind, scattering in all directions.

Not a single arrow managed to touch Wang Chen!

This scene left the battle-hardened bandits dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

While higher-level fighters could rely on emitted energy to fend off arrows, providing a form of armor-like defense, what they witnessed was completely different.

What is happening?

Many bandits were bewildered.

But more bandits refused to believe in superstition and swiftly shot arrows to intercept.

Waves of arrows seemed endless, darkening the sky while carrying the sound of death.

Then, an incredible scene unfolded once again; no matter how many arrows were shot at Wang Chen, they were all swept away by an invisible gust of wind, scattering like leaves onto the nearby grass.

"Bring me a bow!"

White Wolf shouted in a deep voice as he reached out to take a powerful bow presented to him by one of his men.

This bow was a purple-black color, with a string as thick as a small finger, and it was larger than a normal longbow, its surface faintly shimmering like metal.

"Fire!"

With an angry shout, a dark three-edged armor-piercing arrow was nocked onto the bowstring.

The bandit aimed the powerful bow at the approaching Wang Chen, continuously injecting his Qi into the bow until the string was drawn back to a perfect crescent shape.

Boom!

In the next moment, he suddenly released the bowstring.

The three-edged armor-piercing arrow shot out instantly, flying straight toward Wang Chen, who was nearly three hundred steps away.

Normally, arrows shot by archers do not travel in a straight line but follow a parabolic path. However, this bandit’s arrow flew like a bullet from a flintgun, with no curve, directly aiming for Wang Chen’s vital heart!

Not only that, but the arrow made almost no sound as it cut through the air, a faint glow of energy visible behind it.

In an instant, it closed in on Wang Chen.

As he charged forward on horseback, Wang Chen showed no signs of fear, raising his spear forward to thrust at the arrow.

Smack!

The spear tip met the three-edged armor-piercing arrowhead, which immediately shattered into pieces without even budging the spear an inch!

The attacking bandit was stunned, feeling a chilling dread as if being stared at by a divine being.

He possessed the cultivation level of a fifth level martial sect master, second only to White Wolf, and his archery was even better than White Wolf’s. He was using a divine weapon level purple bow.

With this powerful bow, he had previously shot down three fellow martial artists of the same level, establishing a fearsome reputation in the West Sea Prairie.

Yet, at this moment, his proud archery had been effortlessly countered by his opponent.

Just how strong is this person?

"Sixth-level martial honor!"

White Wolf squeezed out this phrase, his single eye bursting with terrifying light as he barked, "Form a formation!"

The bandit leader wished he could tear apart the person who had provided him with the information, as he had been told there were only two fifth level martial sect masters in the bridal convoy, one of whom was young.

But the reality was that a sixth-level martial honor was charging toward them!

This was simply a disaster!

White Wolf was all too aware of how powerful a sixth-level martial honor could be since his master was a martial honor.

He finally understood why the opponent had the courage to charge alone and why he possessed the ability to fend off thousands of arrows!

However, it was too late to realize this.

White Wolf knew very well that no matter how strong the opponent was, he could not retreat.

Otherwise, if the group panicked, the thousands of bandits would be like sheep awaiting slaughter to a sixth-level martial honor.

Most crucially, the direction in which Wang Chen charged was exactly where he stood!

The only way forward was to fight with all he had!

In that moment, White Wolf raised the halberd he held, all the energy within him surged, unleashing unprecedented power.

"Kill!"

The halberd suddenly blazed with light, the invisible energy pouring from it giving off a mesmerizing force, striking with an unstoppable might toward charging Wang Chen.

White Wolf did not expect this strike, which contained all his strength, to kill the opponent; he only aimed to delay Wang Chen for a moment.

This way, he could surround the opponent in the midst of thousands and kill him at any cost!
