55 -52: Breakthrough Again, Defying Boss!

Note: Brothers, I really need your favorites to lift my spirits, please.

…

After Ye Jingyu noticed this, she didn’t rush to leave, but rather slowed down, allowing Lanling ample time to shoot and kill.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

Lanling’s arrows, like the call of the grim reaper, hardly missed within dozens of meters, always hitting the head.

In just a few minutes, he had shot thirty arrows and killed thirty Barbarians.

And Yao Xing, having frantically devoured the Bloodline Dragon Force, was almost frenzied.

At this point, Lanling’s spiritual power was completely exhausted, his head ached unbearably, and he was barely using the Dragon Force to replenish his spiritual power.

Grinding his teeth, he forcefully shot his last arrow.

“Puchi…”

Instantly, the Barbarian thirty meters away had his head pierced through and died on the spot.

He had killed thirty-one Barbarians!

But his supply of arrows was now completely depleted.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingyu immediately urged her warhorse and dashed towards the direction of the South Barbarian Border City.

…

Ye Jingyu’s horse was fast, and in a little over an hour, they had galloped dozens of miles, coming to a huge river gorge with a natural stone bridge.

Crossing this stone bridge would bring them to Wild Ox Valley, and Fallen Leaf Village was not far from there.

However, just as they reached the stone bridge, Ye Jingyu was horrified to discover that on the opposite side of the bridge were densely packed hundreds of Barbarian riders, each Barbarian Knight shooting out a sickly green gaze.

Upon seeing Ye Jingyu and Lanling, they immediately charged forward with malicious grins.

The two of them were shocked.

Who was this Barbarian force, and why were they chasing after Lanling to kill him?

But at that moment, there was no time to think too much, they could only desperately flee southward.

And behind them, the hundreds of Barbarian riders pursued them fiercely.

Although Ye Jingyu was a high-ranking Samurai, she wasn’t capable of taking on a hundred enemies by herself.

The mounts of both riders had already galloped dozens of miles and were beginning to slow down.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of pursuing Barbarian riders were well-rested and closing in fast.

However, it seemed as if these Barbarian riders wanted to capture them alive, for they did not shoot them from a distance.

Otherwise, under such a dense volley of arrows, Lanling and Ye Jingyu would have had a hard time escaping.

The pursuers kept getting closer and closer.

Lanling could even feel the beastly gaze of the Barbarians fixated on the curve of Ye Jingyu’s back and buttocks.

If he were captured by the Barbarians, it might be bearable, but if a great beauty like Ye Jingyu fell into their hands, she would probably face the worst imaginable fate—unable to live or die as she wished.

“Jingyu, make me some arrows,” Lanling said.

Ye Jingyu immediately pulled out her curved blade, chopping down branches while still riding at full speed.

Choosing fairly straight branches, she quickly whittled them into sharp points.

In moments, Ye Jingyu had made four or five crude arrows and handed them to Lanling.

Actually, Ye Jingyu’s archery skills were far superior to Lanling’s at that time, but she still let Lanling shoot.

Drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, he aimed for the eyes of the Barbarian rider who was closest in pursuit.

Despite the severe movement on horseback, once the target was locked by spiritual power, there was no escape.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Locking complete.

“Swoosh…”

He suddenly released the arrow.

“Ahh…” With a miserable scream, the leading Barbarian rider fell from his horse, dead.

Thirty-two!

Then, Lanling began to overextend Yao Xing’s Dragon Force, shooting at the Barbarian riders behind him.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…”

Thirty-three, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six…

By the time he had killed the fiftieth Barbarian,

Lanling’s spiritual power finally collapsed completely, and overextending the Dragon Force was utterly futile.

“Boom…” His head felt like it violently exploded, and then he fell unconscious.

Ye Jingyu held Lanling tightly to prevent him from falling off, but their warhorse was getting slower and slower, with the Barbarian riders only twenty meters behind.

And just then, Ye Jingyu was delighted to see a giant rhinoceros desperately running ahead.

“Giddy up!” Ye Jingyu spurred the horse’s flank, pushing the warhorse to gallop with its remaining strength.

A few meters from the rhinoceros, Ye Jingyu, holding Lanling, leapt up like lightning, landing directly on the back of the rhinoceros, then took control and dashed wildly away.

…

He did not know how long he had slept, but in his dreams, Yao Xing released the Dragon Force over and over, fiercely tempering Lanling’s arm tendons, bones, and muscles.

After more than a dozen hours, Lanling finally woke up.

“Yao Xing, how much has the strength in my arms increased?” Lanling asked.

“Forty pounds,” Yao Xing said.

“Your arm strength is now two hundred and forty pounds, sixty pounds away from the target.”

Forty pounds?

Lanling felt an overwhelming surge of elation.

Just by devouring the Bloodline Dragon Force of fifty Barbarians, the strength in his arms had increased by forty pounds.

Now, even if Lanling killed a hundred Blood Cloud Leopards, he couldn’t increase his strength like this.

But to raise it after killing just a dozen Barbarians? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

This world’s human Dragon Bloodline was so abundant, even in the Barbarians.

Then, upon opening his eyes, the first thing Lanling saw was a wan and pallid Ye Jingyu.

“You’re awake?” Ye Jingyu forced a smile, her lips colorless and her face devoid of any blood.

She was drained, her whole body’s Dragon Force utterly depleted.

“Where are we?” Lanling asked.

“Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, at the mouth of a ravine,” Ye Jingyu said.

Lanling looked around and saw they were indeed deep in the mountains, surrounded by bare boulders.

At this moment, the two of them were at a narrow pass, commanding a height that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, where a single man could hold off ten thousand.

Below, on the steep mountain path, lay a dense mass of Barbarian corpses, well over a hundred.

All of these had been slain by Ye Jingyu the night before, some killed with a curved blade and others with stones.

However, now Ye Jingyu was not only drained of her Bloodline Dragon Force and spiritual power but even her body’s own strength was completely sapped.

“Suo Lun, we’re going to die here,” Ye Jingyu said with a smile to Lanling.

“Now that you’ve awakened, I can’t hold on any longer.

Remember, if you can’t hold on, destroy my body.”

Having said that, Ye Jingyu closed her eyes and fainted; she had been sustaining herself purely on willpower until now.

Lanling quickly picked her up and laid her flat on the ground.

Next, it would take at least one day for Ye Jingyu to recover her Dragon Bloodline power, and he had to hold out for this one day.

Soon, there was a surge of movement below.

Looking up, hundreds of meters down the mountain path, the area was swarming with Barbarian Warriors, ready for a new round of charges.

The Chieftain’s orders were clear: they had to capture the person in the portrait, and they dared not disobey, even at the cost of a hundred to two hundred lives.

“Charge…” A roar ensued.

A dozen Barbarians, holding crude shields aloft, desperately charged up.

Lanling turned around and saw dozens of neatly sharpened wooden arrows lying on the ground.

Ye Jingyu’s archery skill was even higher than his, but she had chosen to kill with stones and left the arrows for Lanling.

Throwing a stone took more effort than shooting an arrow, especially since the stones Ye Jingyu hurled weighed dozens of pounds each.

Lanling took a deep breath, bent the bow, notched an arrow, and locked onto his target with his mind.

The Barbarians had all their vital areas covered by shields, showing only their legs.

Lanling mentally locked onto the right foot of the first Barbarian and shot fiercely.

“Ah…” A scream echoed as the Barbarian’s calf was pierced by the arrow, causing him to fall directly.

The mountain path here was extremely steep, and his tumble immediately sent him rolling down, striking down more than a dozen others in his path.

That’s when these men fell en masse, losing the protection of their shields.

“Swish swish swish swish swish…”

Lanling locked targets and shot arrows rapidly.

Three, four, five, six, seven, eight…

In just five minutes, thirteen Barbarians were neatly slain.

Yao Xing once again voraciously absorbed Bloodline Energy.

Then, the second wave of Barbarians with their shields surged upward.

Lanling repeated the trick, shooting the first man’s foot and causing him to fall and tumble down, which knocked down all the others as well.

The shieldless Barbarians once again became souls under Lanling’s arrows.

Today, Lanling had already shot and killed twenty-five.

However, his head began to throb violently again, and his spiritual power was about to be exhausted once more.

At that moment, an enraged roar suddenly echoed from below.

Suddenly, a skinny figure charged out.

This Barbarian, black as coal and about two meters thirty in height, was robust as a mountain with muscles like iron and blood-red eyes.

In his hands, he held a long saw-toothed knife, with his body covered in steel scales.

Yes, the scales were sewn right into his flesh, as if he had grown scales naturally.

On his head grew two sharp iron horns, obviously not grown naturally, but directly implanted in his flesh.

Lanling could hardly imagine the pain of embedding steel scales into flesh or the agony of inserting iron horns into the skull.

This Barbarian was truly beast-like.

This man was likely a Barbarian Tribe Leader; he stood out from the crowd and began loudly scolding his troops.

The many Barbarians regarded him with fear, continuously backing away until one stumbled and fell.

The Barbarian Tribe Leader, furious, approached and grabbed his head, twisting it off savagely before chewing on the flesh a few times and tossing the head down.

These Barbarians indeed ate human flesh.

Then, the Barbarian Tribe Leader, brandishing his long saw-toothed knife, charged up vigorously.

“Swish swish swish swish…”

Lanling locked onto the eyes of the Barbarian Tribe Leader and shot three arrows in quick succession.

Each arrow was perfectly aimed.

But the Tribe Leader effortlessly sliced through the three incoming arrows with his knife, shattering them.

Lanling’s arrows could not touch him.

Alarmed, his eyes fell upon a huge boulder weighing hundreds of pounds.

Taking a deep breath, he unleashed his Dragon Force and pushed hard.

“Rumble rumble…”

Instantly, the huge boulder, with its alarming momentum, began rolling down.

The Barbarians frantically dodged in all directions, but the Tribe Leader stood still, contemptuously staring down the rolling boulder.

This was an opportunity not to be missed.

Lanling bent his bow, notched an arrow, and targeted the eyes again, shooting fiercely.

“Boom…”

In an instant, the boulder rolled right in front of the Tribe Leader.

He forcefully lifted his knife, slashing down hard.

With a loud bang, the boulder was split open and shattered into pieces.

At the same moment, Lanling’s arrow reached him.

His other hand, quick as lightning, caught the incoming arrow and gently pinched it.

The entire wooden arrow instantly turned to dust.

He was too strong; the Barbarian Tribe Leader was simply too powerful.

Fortunately, he was not there the previous night, or Lanling and Ye Jingyu would have long since perished.

Without hesitation, Lanling picked up Ye Jingyu and swiftly fled into the canyon.

The Tribe Leader did not hurry, sneering as he led hundreds of Barbarians in a slow pursuit.

“Come on, my prey, my treasure!” From a cave at the end of the gorge, a voice that was immensely alluring and charming quietly rose.
