Chapter 672: Archer
Things were not going his way.
Sage had never faced such a potent archer before. In the cultivation world, bows were a very uncommon weapon. As a cultivator climbed through the ranks, their physical strength would usually pale in comparison to the strength of their Qi. In order to launch projectiles with enough force to threaten those at higher ranks usually required increasingly expensive equipment. That was why it was far more common for crossbows to be used. With the various methods available to weapon refiners, there were many different ways to increase power and fight the drawbacks of a crossbow in comparison to a bow. The most obvious weakness being rate of fire.
Sage had even created the Stumblebow for the Jade Horde and possessed a far more expensive pair of crossbows that he took from that mercenary group the Fierce Tigers. It stored a few hundred bolts in a Storage Space and could fire a couple of them every second. It was also strong enough to instantly kill any third rank cultivator, scare those in the fourth rank, and could even harass a Core Formation cultivator.
The feeling of pressure raised higher and higher until Sage felt his time was running out. The Warp Worm tunnels were only a few feet below the surface because Sage didnt fancy dying while trapped underground. At this time, he rolled over onto his back and then thrust both palms towards the ceiling of the tunnel. He burnt some of his golden aura to enhance his already immense strength and the ground burst open above him. A burst of air shot from his palms, impelled by the Fluid Power Lines of his spider body. The air flow blew away the debris and caused a storm of dust to appear again. Sage threw himself to his feet and hopped out of the hole hed created in the ground. Just as he was making contact with the surface, an object appeared in his hands just in time to catch a terrifying impact. That object burst into pieces and Sage threw it aside, just in time for another to appear.
There was a fluctuation of power in front of him as that object activated and that fearful impact wasnt felt a second time. At least not for a few seconds. The Qi poured into that object fluctuated rapidly and then it suddenly exploded. As it blew, a dozen streaks of light shot out of it, shot randomly in the general direction of the enemy archer. Even though it blew Sage back a couple steps, it still blocked those attacks before detonating so Sage called it a win. He rushed forward, while another object appeared in his hands. He shot forward, using his full speed to rush towards the enemy, crouching down slightly to minimize his profile.
The objects he called out were circular in shape, a round disc with a convex front, the shape of a large shield. He felt the fluctuation of energy in front of him, which was that shield at work. The Arrow Wall. The same shield hed developed for the Jade Horde so long ago. It had a very cheap Storage Bag incorporated within it to catch arrows, modified so they could maintain their momentum to be released back out again later. Against such a high rank enemy, that cheap Storage Bag could only contain a limited number of arrows before it was blasted apart. Each of these shields cost him a hundred Spirit Stones, but compared to the money the enemy was burning on him, it seemed like quite the deal. Everytime he took two steps forward, hed also end up getting blasted one step back, but it was worth it to close the gap.
By the time he burnt through twenty Arrows Walls, he finally caught a glimpse of his foe. That person in black clothing with a mask over their face was standing on the same tree hed seen them on earlier and casually launching an arrow every so often. It didnt look like they were tired, or upset at Sages constant approach. That lazy look even made Sage think they were actually happy. Sage even caught sight of a set of dark eyes and had the feeling that the enemy was glad to be seen before killing him.
