At this moment, Bing Ling and Song Qing's backs were already drenched in cold sweat.

If Wang Ruoxie hadn't pushed them away just now, they would have been shot dead.

Subsequently, they both cast a grateful glance at Wang Ruoxie.

"Truly a peerless genius with nine-star swordsmanship talent, to be able to dodge my deadly arrows."

At this moment, several figures emerged from the dense forest ahead.

Leading them was a young man about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a black robe, holding a bow and arrow.

Apparently, those three feathered arrows just now were shot by him.

"So it's you, Zheng Guang."

Song Qing stared coldly at the young man and said.

"Zheng Guang, a direct descendant of the Zheng family, one of the Six Great Clans, not only with outstanding swordsmanship talent but also with extraordinary arrow talent. From those three arrows just now, his archery should have already reached the following-the-heart great success level."

Bing Ling frowned slightly and whispered.

Hearing this, Wang Ruoxie nodded silently, naturally perceiving that Zheng Guang's archery had indeed reached the great success level.

Of course, his own archery was not bad either; otherwise, he might not have avoided the sneak attack just now.

"Wang Ruoxie, Yang Hongwu was my good brother. You actually dared to kill him."

Zheng Guang's gaze landed on Wang Ruoxie and said coldly.

He was quite surprised in his heart; given his archery skills, even someone at the Ninth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm would find it hard to dodge his arrows.

Moreover, it was a sneak attack. He thought it would be easy to kill these three, but he did not expect Wang Ruoxie to sense the arrows he shot in advance.

"He wanted to kill me, so naturally, I could kill him."

Wang Ruoxie replied calmly.

It seemed Zheng Guang was not only attacking them to seize the jade talisman but also seeking revenge for Yang Hongwu.

"Then I almost killed you just now; are you going to kill me too?"

Zheng Guang's eyes revealed a cold smile as he spoke again.

"You're right; today, you must die."

Wang Ruoxie uttered coldly.

If he hadn't had soul power far beyond his cultivation realm, combined with archery not inferior to the opponent, he might not have detected the incoming arrows in advance. If that were the case, Song Qing and Bing Ling would certainly have perished, and he would have been severely injured even if not dead.

For anyone trying to kill him, he would never let them go easily. If you want to kill him, be prepared to be killed by him.

"Foolish words, kill them."

After hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Zheng Guang sneered, then instructed the few people behind him.

"Whoa..."

Immediately, those figures flashed out directly, lunging at Wang Ruoxie's group of three.

Zheng Guang stood his ground, bent his bow, and notched arrows. Instantly, one sharp feathered arrow after another tore through the void at high speed, assailing the three of them.

"Clang, clang..."

Wang Ruoxie held his longsword, his body slightly trembling, knocking all incoming feathered arrows to the ground.

"You two hold off these few people first; I'll go kill Zheng Guang."

After speaking to Bing Ling and Song Qing, Wang Ruoxie's figure flickered, rushing towards Zheng Guang with uncanny speed.

Zheng Guang was very powerful and also hid in the rear to shoot arrows for a sneak attack. If he wasn't killed first, it would be incredibly troublesome. Although he could fend off the arrows, Bing Ling and Song Qing would undoubtedly be in extreme danger.

Seeing Wang Ruoxie rapidly rushing towards him, Zheng Guang's pupils suddenly shrank. He did not expect the opponent's speed to be so fast.

Immediately, he dared not hesitate at all and shot six more feathered arrows in succession.

This was the Zheng family's archery masterstroke, Six-Star Linked Pearls, a Profound Level Upper Grade martial technique, of immense power.

Not only was the speed extraordinarily fast, but it also contained special force, with extremely strong piercing power. Combined with his top-grade treasure artifact bow and arrows, even a typical early-stage Element Transformation Realm practitioner would find it hard to easily withstand these six arrows.

However, Wang Ruoxie's speed was even faster than those feathered arrows that seemed to turn into meteors.

"Clang, clang..."

In an instant, Wang Ruoxie swung his sword six times, knocking away all six incoming feathered arrows.

"How... how is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Guang was momentarily stunned, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He had full confidence in these six arrows; at such a close distance, not even a strong practitioner at the early stages of the Element Transformation Realm could take them unscathed.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ruoxie managed to knock all six arrows away so easily.

Even those engaged in battle at the back were shocked by this scene.

Even Bing Ling and Song Qing, who had a fair understanding of Wang Ruoxie's strength, found it extremely unbelievable.

They did not know that the swordsmanship Wang Ruoxie was cultivating was the Saint Level Lower Grade Shocking God Sword Technique. Although he had only reached a minor achievement in the first move, Cloud Emergence Technique, its power still rivaled typical Profound Tier martial techniques.

The most crucial aspect was that the Cloud Emergence Technique was fundamentally based on speed, and in terms of speed alone, probably even a Profound Level Upper Grade martial technique could not compare.

Moreover, Wang Ruoxie also possessed extraordinarily strong soul power and archery skills not inferior to Zheng Guang, naturally capable of easily knocking away the six arrows shot by the opponent.

After knocking down the incoming six arrows, Wang Ruoxie did not hesitate, his figure continued to flicker forward, rushing towards the nearby Zheng Guang.

In the span of a breath, he reached Zheng Guang, thrusting his longsword directly at him.

To kill Zheng Guang as quickly as possible, Wang Ruoxie held nothing back.

The combined power of swordsmanship at the following-the-heart perfection level and the Cloud Emergence Technique was terrifying.

At this close range, Zheng Guang naturally had no chance to shoot arrows again and could only draw a longsword to strike at Wang Ruoxie.

He was also a sword cultivator. Although his swordsmanship talent was not as good as Wang Ruoxie's, he possessed the Ninth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm cultivation, at its peak, only one step away from the Element Transformation Realm.

Moreover, he had a Profound Level Third Grade bloodline, so how could he fear Wang Ruoxie, who only had a Yellow Level Third Grade bloodline?

"Clang!"

The next moment, the two longswords clashed together.

"Puff!"

With just one strike, Zheng Guang was blasted away, spewing a large amount of blood.

"How are you so strong?"

Wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, Zheng Guang stared fixedly at Wang Ruoxie, an astonished expression on his face.

Originally, in his view, although Wang Ruoxie had a nine-star swordsmanship talent and somehow his cultivation had improved to the Eighth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, he still did not think Wang Ruoxie could be his opponent. Yet he did not anticipate the opponent's strength to be so terrifying.

Merely one sword strike injured him, indicating that Wang Ruoxie's strength far exceeded his own.

"With such strength, you think you can avenge Yang Hongwu?"

Wang Ruoxie sneered and said.

"I admit your strength is remarkable; I'm not your match, but you still have to die."

Zheng Guang said coldly.

As soon as he uttered the word 'die,' he suddenly raised his right hand, instantly shooting a small sleeve arrow at Wang Ruoxie's heart vein at an extremely rapid speed.

The sleeve arrow gleamed with harsh cold light, clearly exceptionally sharp. Once struck, the heart vein would inevitably be penetrated, a certain death.
