Chapter 381 Ha!

“Ha!” Hai Ri-Gu hadn't even gotten up, but he directly launched himself!

A roar came from Hai Ri-Gu, filled with endless excitement and anticipation. His strong, powerful legs launched him into the air, and a pitch-black flame warhorse appeared once more, Hai Ri-Gu landing steadily on its back.

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Hai Ri-Gu nocked and fired arrows in rapid succession.

After a series of arrows, he suddenly raised his left hand high.

"Neigh~"

"Whinnnyyy..."

A series of neighing sounds echoed, piercing the sky.

"This, this..." Qian Baiwan widened his eyes, hurriedly stood up, his gaze moving from the display screen on the table to the green field below.

He saw Hai Ri-Gu galloping on horseback, and on either side of him, one after another pitch-black flame warhorse appeared out of thin air, their number finally settling at eighteen.

But it was these eighteen flame warhorses that created the scene of ten thousand horses galloping!

Scorching flames bloomed, spreading along with the faint sound of hooves, the charging warhorses rampaging and heading straight for the halberd-wielding youth standing in the center circle.

Jiang Xiao wielded his Fang Tian Halberd continuously, shattering several black feather arrows in a row. The layers of mist were dispelled by the "well" shaped halberd, revealing a soul-stirring scene.

At this moment, the shot given by the television camera was unimaginably beautiful.

It was a close-up of Jiang Xiao's back.

As the black mist in front of Jiang Xiao dissipated, in front of his solitary figure was a group of pitch-black horses neighing towards the sky, their hooves treading on flames, charging towards him!

On the lead horse at the very front of the formation, Hai Ri-Gu, holding a horn bow, was still nocking and firing arrows.

It was this close-up that sent the audience in the online live broadcast room into near frenzy:

"This is f***ing my new dynamic wallpaper!"

"So hype, this scene is too hype…"

"I'm so excited my body is trembling, what do you guys think those ancient generals were thinking at this time?"

"Pi God! Charge!"

And Jiang Xiao on the green field did not disappoint everyone's expectations. He held the Fang Tian Halberd and thrust it forward.

*Clang!*

*Bang...*

The tip of the halberd was wrapped in a dense cyan light, piercing the lead horse's broad chest. The lead horse let out a wail, and under the repelling effect of the cyan light, flew backwards, knocking over several flame warhorses behind it.

Hai Ri-Gu, however, made a quick adjustment, straddling another warhorse, and nocked and fired arrows again.

Dozens of warhorses surrounded Jiang Xiao, the sound of hooves shattering, the flames burning fiercely, the rolling waves of fire engulfing Jiang Xiao's body.

The neighing warhorses lowered their huge heads, like bloodthirsty beasts, tearing towards Jiang Xiao's body.

On the outside, Hai Ri-Gu, riding a warhorse, constantly replenished the number of flame warhorses, circling the edge of the encirclement, nocking and firing arrows, the black feather arrows shooting out rapidly.

From beginning to end, apart from the Blessing that Jiang Xiao delivered with a playful touch at the start, all of their Star Techniques were almost all combat-type Star Techniques, without any hard control or soft control interference Star Techniques.

Jiang Xiao wielded the Fang Tian Halberd, forming an impenetrable defense. Warhorses wailed and neighed, being thrown out, and black feather arrows exploded into layers of pitch-black mist. People quickly lost sight of the figure within the battle circle, only able to see flame warhorses being overturned and sent flying.

Hai Ri-Gu's body suddenly stiffened, and then he suddenly raised his right arm.

*Clang!*

The sound of metal colliding!

The cold halberd tip pierced towards Hai Ri-Gu's head, but it landed on his fist, as big as a sandbag, making a sound of metal collision.

Hai Ri-Gu was directly overturned and sent flying eight meters away, but he stretched out his ape-like arm and grabbed the flame warhorse beside him. His tall body was incredibly agile as he flipped back onto the warhorse.

Jiang Xiao curled his lips and landed on the flame warhorse, clamping his legs tightly around its belly.

"Whinnnyyy..." The flame warhorse wildly swung left and right, suddenly raising its front hooves, trying to throw Jiang Xiao off.

"Shh~" With a whistle, the flame warhorse under Jiang Xiao immediately became well-behaved.

Jiang Xiao was about to teleport away when he realized something was wrong?

Hai Ri-Gu nocked and fired an arrow, shouting loudly: "It's yours now!"

"Giddy up!" Jiang Xiao kicked the warhorse’s belly with his right foot, directly changing his fighting strategy. He accepted your intentions!

This flame warhorse was too intelligent, automatically dodging the arrows in front of it, carrying Jiang Xiao towards Hai Ri-Gu.

The warhorse herd that had surrounded Jiang Xiao scattered, forming a ring of fire around the battle.

Hai Ri-Gu could be described as never missing a shot, and Jiang Xiao really didn't have any extra movements!

As Jiang Xiao charged towards him, Hai Ri-Gu watched helplessly as Jiang Xiao deflected the black feather arrows one by one. This... such a close distance, such fast arrows? Could a human react to that?

The drizzle in the sky was still falling, even though it couldn't extinguish the flowers of flame under the warhorse's hooves, but Jiang Xiao used his actions to show: he could!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hai Ri-Gu hurriedly put down his bow and drew the spear from his back. In an instant, a golden light shone on the spear: "Hey!"

On Jiang Xiao's Fang Tian Halberd, a dense cyan light flickered, and the sharp halberd tip suddenly pierced towards Hai Ri-Gu's head, but it was deflected by Hai Ri-Gu's spear.

Such a collision of spear and halberd should have been nothing, but under the golden energy at the tip of the spear and the cyan light of the halberd, the two figures, who should have been riding warhorses and passing each other, were forcibly reversed in direction, each moving sideways.

"Neigh..." With a whinny, the warhorse under Hai Ri-Gu was pushed out sideways, but he saw his body suddenly lurch, his spear piercing into the ground, dragging a deep and long mark on the grass, trying to control the balance of the flame warhorse.

The pitch-black hooves drew several lines of fire on the grass, even piling up small mounds of earth, barely stopping.

Jiang Xiao, riding the flame warhorse, was also pushed out sideways. Jiang Xiao stabbed the ground with his halberd, and the warhorse sliding sideways, its body came to a sudden stop.

Under the tacit understanding of the two, this stage of the battle seemed to be no longer about life, death, or victory, but about being on or off the horse.

The dark golden halo on Jiang Xiao's body lit up. He nocked and fired arrows in one go, shooting rapidly at Hai Ri-Gu.

Hai Ri-Gu made an astonishing move. He clamped his legs tightly around the warhorse's belly and thrust his spear into the ground!

*Bang!*

The earth pit exploded, and Hai Ri-Gu, with the flame warhorse, jumped three meters high, shooting arrows from above at the same time, in a strange posture.

*Ding! Ding! Ding!*

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

The arrows shot rapidly from the Cherish Light Halo, each one with purple lines, and each one was broken by the pitch-black black feather arrows. In the middle of the straight line between the two, in the air at the central point, patches of pitch-black mist exploded.

The flying warhorse landed heavily, flames shooting out in all directions. The two warhorses were more than ten meters apart, circling each other. Was this the legendary revolving lantern!?

And the two archers on horseback nocked and fired arrows in succession, evenly matched!

So... who exactly is the essence of human combat skills?

Qian Baiwan slammed his hand on the table and shouted excitedly: "Pure skill! The purest competition!

Even if it's wrapped in the shell of Star Techniques, what people marvel at is only the skills of both sides!

I finally know what Hai Ri-Gu said to Jiang Xiaopi before the match!"

Ye Xunyang clenched his fists and said in a trembling voice: "Jiang Xiaopi really gave up his advantageous routine. Was this his and Hai Ri-Gu's agreement before the match?

At this moment, the magical Star Techniques have become supporting roles, and everything has returned to the most essential battle."

Qian Baiwan said words that were extremely inconsistent with his name:

"Fine rain drizzling, horses treading on flames,

Spear and halberd, bow and arrow!

Holding a strong bow, wielding spear and halberd, riding a steed for years, today, let's show off wantonly!

This is a duel on another level! This is a battle between two warriors standing at the peak of skill!

Heroic and passionate towards the imperial court! For whose sake is the unrestrained arrogance!"

Ye Xunyang sighed softly: "Towards the imperial court... yes, behind the two warriors are their respective countries, their respective people, waiting for news of their victory! It is clear for whose sake they are heroes!"

The audience did not see the scene they had expected, but they saw a duel that far exceeded their imagination:

"What the hell is this... what is this?"

"Are they challenging our perception of Star Warriors?"

"Exploded, exploded! My scalp is tingling, brothers! This Qian Baiwan is no worse than the host Yu Fei in the team competition, this 'Towards the imperial court'!? Holy crap!?"

"If there were Star Techniques during the Song and Yuan dynasties, would the battlefield be like this?"

"Don't care about the dynasty, just focus on the people. This is Jebe versus Lü Bu!"

On the field, Jiang Xiao habitually reached for his quiver with one hand, but grabbed air.

No arrows?

Jiang Xiao's movements froze slightly. He hurriedly threw away the bow in his hand, picked up the Fang Tian Halberd clamped to his side, and deflected a black feather arrow.

On the opposite side, on the flame warhorse rotating in a revolving lantern fashion, Hai Ri-Gu's movements also paused slightly. Although he still had arrows and Star Techniques to summon arrows, at this moment, he gave up attacking?

Was this a tacit understanding?

I, Hai Ri-Gu, am here to learn from your skills!

Since you have given up your advantageous Star Techniques and chosen to fulfill my wish, then this archery, let's just call it a tie!

Hai Ri-Gu suddenly nocked and fired an arrow, but shot it into the air.

Three scarlet arrows were shot out in succession, hanging high in the air. Then, Hai Ri-Gu casually threw away the horn bow, completely abandoning the bow and arrow, and picked up the spear.

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly and looked up at the three scarlet arrows.

Jiang Xiao was very familiar with this Star Technique. Hou Mingming had used it more than once. Back in Capital Star Martial, when Hou Mingming was competing with Zhao Wenlong for first and second place, this Star Technique would usually appear, and both sides would leave the victory or defeat to fate.

Bombarding Arrows! And it was a sky full of Bombarding Arrows!

The next moment, the three scarlet arrows hanging in the air emitted a dazzling light, and arrows rained down!

Pieces of bombarding arrows sprinkled down, covering the entire half court!

The dozen or so warhorses that formed the ring of fire neighed loudly. Under the exploding arrows, they turned into specks of starlight and shattered, disappearing without a trace.

"Whinnnyyy..." The warhorse under Hai Ri-Gu neighed, its heroic spirit soaring to the sky!

He held the spear, and his strong legs clamped the warhorse's belly fiercely. The flame warhorse frantically rushed towards Jiang Xiao, roaring: "Battle!"

"Whinnnyyy..." Accompanied by the explosions around him, the warhorse under Jiang Xiao also neighed.

Jiang Xiao kicked the warhorse’s belly with his right foot and picked up the Fang Tian Halberd in his hand: "Couldn't ask for more!"

In the dense rain of arrows, the waves of explosions spread out, the fire soared into the sky, and mud and turf splashed everywhere.

Under the sky full of arrows,

One person held a halberd, and one person held a spear, accompanied by the neighing of flame warhorses, the hooves stepped out of flowers of flame.

The valiant warhorses charged and collided, rushing into the still-unsettled black mist in the center, and the sound of spears and halberds colliding and entangled echoed.

Everything was as said before,

Holding a strong bow, wielding spear and halberd, riding a steed for years, today, let's show off wantonly!

As for who will return in triumph in the end?

He couldn't care about that anymore!
