Chapter 157 The Death of Lian Shuang

As that agile figure flashed past, the corner of her eye caught sight of Grandmaster Gui Shuangdao, Dong Xu, walking along the corner of the wall.

"Senior Liu Jianfeng, cooperate with me to take down Gui Shuangdao, Dong Xu, first." With a flick of her body, Lian Shuang jumped off the roof and rushed towards Dong Xu.

Dong Xu stood on the spot, his hands empty. His twin blades were already sheathed. He simply watched Lian Shuang rush toward him.

Lian Shuang's lips curled up slightly, a hint of cold laughter on her face. Her figure flickered, constantly changing direction, like a nimble cat. With a few flashes, she pounced straight at Dong Xu.

"Shu shu shu." Dong Xu flicked his hand, and three streams of light shot out. Two of them missed, and the remaining one was blocked by the Miao sword in Lian Shuang's hand.

"I knew you were carrying hidden weapons." Lian Shuang blocked the hidden flying knife and had already reached Dong Xu. She gripped the Miao sword with both hands and slashed down angrily!

Dong Xu also instantly gripped a blade in each hand and charged forward.

Clang clang clang!!!

The Miao sword danced, extremely ferocious. The Miao sword was a full 1.6 meters long. When Lian Shuang wielded it, it was as if a silver chain surrounded her! Anyone who touched it would have their arms or legs broken. However, Grandmaster Dong Xu, with his twin blades, blocked every attack, not even letting a drop of water get through, and tried to get close.

Lian Shuang, on the other hand, wanted to maintain her distance, keeping it at around two meters, which was more suitable for her Miao sword to be used. Grandmaster Dong Xu wanted to close the distance.

The two exchanged steps, confronting each other, blades flashing.

Elsewhere, Old Man Liu Jianfeng was rushing over, only two alleys away, less than a hundred meters away as the crow flies.

About two hundred meters away, sharpshooter Wang Yi only moved a few steps on the roof of the restaurant before she could see the fight in the alley.

She sensed the drifting drizzle, sensed the gentle breeze.

Hiding her body under the shelter of the roof, only a pair of eyes were slightly exposed, watching the distant confrontation, calculating Lian Shuang's movements, slowly drawing the bow to its full extent, the arrow already on the string.

Suddenly—

She straightened up instantly, and an arrow shot out!

Wherever the arrow passed, a high-pressure air wave formed!

"Clang clang clang." Dong Xu frantically pressed in, but Lian Shuang kept retreating to maintain her distance, swinging her Miao sword time and time again, threatening Dong Xu.

"Huh?"

Lian Shuang suddenly sensed something was wrong and turned her head.

She saw a blurred shadow coming from more than ten meters away! Lian Shuang moved instinctively. Her movements were fast and agile, but that blurred shadow was terrifyingly fast!

"Boom!" Even though she barely moved, the blurred shadow still pierced through her left chest. Then, the shadow struck the stone slab ground in the distance, blasting out a deep pit. Only some fragments of arrow shafts in the deep pit could confirm that it had been an arrow!

Lian Shuang looked up into the distance, vaguely seeing a woman holding a bow and arrow, looking towards here from the roof, then disappearing from the roof.

"It's her, sharpshooter Wang Yi!"

Lian Shuang understood this and turned into nothingness, disappearing into the town!

The Miao sword heroine, Lian Shuang, was the first to be killed! She died from an arrow from sharpshooter Wang Yi!

……

Xia Country official live broadcast room.

Host Liu Xin gently waved his hand to replay the process of the arrow shot, in a high-altitude position in the battle space.

That arrow tore through the air, the air parted like water, the drizzle was pierced by the arrow, and the arrow's speed was terrifying! Under the arrow's speed, the confrontation between Lian Shuang and Grandmaster Dong Xu became extremely slow.

When it was more than ten meters away from Lian Shuang, Lian Shuang finally sensed something and slowly looked up to see the arrow.

But it was too late!

At the speed of more than ten meters, Lian Shuang's body twisted slightly, and the arrow passed through the distance of more than ten meters, piercing through Lian Shuang's left chest, killing her.

After that, the arrow stuck on the stone slab in the distance, breaking the stone slab, blasting out a deep pit, and the arrow shaft shattered! The arrowhead was buried deep in the soil.

This arrow was beautiful and terrifying!

"This arrow is too beautiful!" Qin Yiwen pointed excitedly, "Looking at the data, the maximum speed of this arrow reached 432 meters per second, which is a supersonic arrow. But from the restaurant to the battle location, the distance is about two hundred meters. The arrow still has to fly in the air for about half a second. Half a second… Lian Shuang has been moving! It's also drizzling, and there's a slight breeze! Wang Yi completely calculated the impact of the weather, and even calculated the location of Lian Shuang's movement in the next half second. Only when she was sure, did she release that arrow."

"Once the arrow is released, it's too late when Lian Shuang sees it." Qin Yiwen exclaimed.

"From the time she saw it to the time the arrow hit her, the time was too short. It was even more terrifying than Senior Liu Jianfeng's assassination. Lian Shuang was already reacting very quickly by being able to move a bit." Huang Yong shook his head and said, "There is an ancient saying that it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. The hardest thing to guard against is a hidden arrow… If it was an arrow in the open, at a distance of two hundred meters, 0.5 seconds, there would be plenty of time for Lian Shuang and other God-level experts to dodge it. Even if she found this arrow at a distance of 50 meters, she could dodge it! But at a distance of only ten meters, it's too close."

"It's difficult to guard against hidden arrows because when you discover them, it's too late for your body to dodge." Qin Yiwen also nodded, "In ancient times, many famous generals died from hidden arrows and cold arrows. But very few were shot to death by an arrow in the open."

"The success of this arrow is due to Wang Yi's marksmanship. Secondly, it's because Lian Shuang is wearing soft leather armor with weak protection, which only weighs three to five kilograms. If she had changed into fifty kilograms of light body armor, or two hundred kilograms of heavy body armor, it would have been impossible to penetrate the armor with an arrow and kill her."

"Light body armor can defend against arrows and sword slashes. Heavy armor not only defends against arrows and swords, but also against axe chops and spear thrusts. Maybe only heavy weapons can be used to smash it." Huang Yong laughed, "Of course, in the game, all players have a common weakness – the head."

Qin Yiwen also said, "For sharpshooters, it is also very difficult to shoot the head while moving at high speed."

……

The live broadcast room was explaining.

In the town, this God-level battle became more intense.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Great Strength God Gao Chong, Blood Axe King Qiao, and War Goddess Sun Yuting were advancing together.

"Lian Shuang has been killed." Sun Yuting said solemnly, "She died from an arrow from the sharpshooter!"

"The biggest threat to us in the opposing team is the archer." Great Strength God Gao Chong's eyes were also full of fighting spirit. He was tall and burly at two meters and nineteen centimeters, with extremely thick arms, like an upright bear. Of course, this was also due to the transformation of his body after practicing the *Giant Bear Evolution Method*. In reality, he was originally only one meter and ninety-eight centimeters tall, and his sense of oppression was not as terrifying as it is now.

Wearing heavy armor, Gao Chong held a thick long spear and looked at Blood Axe King Qiao and Sun Yuting beside him, "The other party was in that restaurant before. We only need to kill over there now. The three of us will pay attention to all directions at the same time, and be careful of her hidden arrows."

Blood Axe King Qiao nodded.

Sun Yuting also trusted her teammates very much.

Teammate Gao Chong had won first place in the World Martial Arts Competition! Blood Axe King Qiao had also won second place in the World Martial Arts Competition. She herself had won the World Women's Martial Arts Competition twice.

All three of them were experienced and good at frontal combat!

"They haven't transferred significantly, they should still be in the restaurant area. I'm just staring at that area!" Old Man Liu Jianfeng said in the team voice chat.

"Old Man, please keep an eye on it. We'll break through them head-on." Gao Chong said.

The three of them, Blood Axe King Qiao, with a large shield in one hand and a large axe in the other, walked on the left side of the team.

War Goddess Sun Yuting, with a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, walked on the right side of the team.

Gao Chong walked in the center of the team, holding a large spear.

The three of them quickly moved toward the restaurant.

……

Not far from the restaurant, in an inn, sharpshooter Wang Yi was upstairs. Xu Jingming and Panda Zhang Qian were also guarding upstairs, while Wu Sai was staring downstairs. Grandmaster Dong Xu was carefully squatting at the street intersection.

"Gao Chong and the other three are charging head-on." Wang Yi frowned and said, "They're very fast! They're all wearing armor, and Sun Yuting and Wang Qiao are also carrying shields."

"Sis, are you confident?" Panda Zhang Qian looked out the window and asked.

"Heavy armor and shields again, and the three of them are experienced." Wang Yi shook her head, "I have to be close, preferably within fifty meters… I have to find a chance to shoot their heads at close range in order to have a chance of hitting their vital points."

"We can't let them into the inn. We better fight them in an open area to give Sister Wang Yi a chance to shoot." Panda Zhang Qian said, "The most difficult opponent of the three is Great Strength God Gao Chong. Who will stop him?"

"I'm good at strength and have dual shields. I'll block him." Fist King Wu Sai said in the team voice chat.

"I'll go head-on, Panda, you improvise." Xu Jingming said.

"Okay, it's settled then." Panda Zhang Qian nodded.

At this moment, the enemy had already entered the street in front of the inn.
