Li Yao and his company slowly made their way down the steps, surrounded by the Silver Galaxy’s players, who parted to create a path for them.

At this point, continued stalemate was meaningless. Earlier, they were shaken by the power of the cannons; there will be plenty of opportunity for revenge in the future. There was no need for a needless struggle now.

When the group reached the courtyard’s center, Gu Cheng’s eyes glimmered. He loudly said, “Look, they’re right in the center of the courtyard. If we fire the cannons again, they might get blown up too. The cannons won’t differentiate between friends and foes. Now is the perfect opportunity to take him down.”

Li Yao stopped in his tracks, casually scanned the crowd, and said, “You’re still not giving up. What, because I killed you twice? Is this really necessary? You can take your revenge anytime in the future. Why must we delay everyone’s trip to the altar?”

“He’s scared, can’t you see? They’re surrounded. A few rounds of attack will take him down,” Gu Cheng continued to stir the pot, consumed with unwillingness. He had almost eliminated Li Yao when these vexing changes occurred, he couldn’t understand how Li Yao was able to mobilize the cannons, “Angel’s Wing is within reach. We just need a minute from you all.”

“Damn it, I’ve had enough of you.”

Li Yao looked at Gu Cheng hiding in the crowd, jumped up, and let loose an arrow.

Smack…

Gu Cheng’s health points plummeted, leaving him with less than a hundred.

Gu Cheng hadn’t expected Li Yao to make the first move. Seeing his health points, he quickly used Spring Technique to heal himself, then changed into a leopard and leapt behind a large statue, out of Li Yao’s line of sight.

Li Yao was surprised he hadn’t taken him down in one hit; Gu Cheng must have had some damage mitigating equipment.

“You see, he does not even regard us. He’s so reckless.”

Most players remained calm and did not participate, but some glared angrily at Li Yao. These were mostly Gu Cheng’s friends or those who were acquainted with him.

“I’ll kill you today.” Li Yao was disgusted by Gu Cheng’s behavior. Gu Cheng seemed fine in the player’s area, but carried a bothersome attitude. In ancient times, he would be the crafty, scheming type of character.

He would use any means necessary to reach his goal, resorting to plots and schemes, and then praises his strategies. Li Yao found it disgusting.

Of course, Li Yao had no idea that he had become a hindrance to others; he’s amassed quite a lot of hatred.

“Prairie Fire, let’s just call it a day. Let’s part on good terms. We won’t retaliate, and you can do the same,” a player suggested.

“Yes, let’s disperse. After all, Boss Gu is our current leader. Don’t make it difficult for us.”

“Right, everyone is riled up now. Let’s just step back.”

“If you insist, we’ll just settle it at the altar. Then we’ll see who’s better.”

“Yes, it’s worth fighting for the number one spot. Let’s stop fighting now.”

Players were in a quandary. Many watched as the skeletons adjusted the direction of the cannons. Killing Prairie Fire might be easy, but no one could stop the cannons. If they ended up under the fire of cannons, it wouldn’t be worth it.

“You thought I couldn’t kill you by hiding behind the statue. You’re so na?ve,” Li Yao began to charge his shot.

“Then come and kill me,” Gu Cheng sneered. But his health points were not full, and he did not dare to show his face. If Li Yao jumped and shot again, he could be killed on the spot.

“As you wish.”

In Li Yao’s hand, the Charged Arrow reached its third level. Li Yao rapidly simulated the shot in his mind, then suddenly opened his eyes, drew his bow towards the sky, and shot the level three Charged Arrow.

Next, Li Yao put away his Long Bow and said, “Let’s go.”

Then, Li Yao’s team set off again, heading towards the crevice.

The arrow quickly disappeared from everyone’s view, leaving the elite players confused about why Li Yao would shoot an arrow into the sky.

“Heh, shooting an arrow at the sky to vent? Are you trying to RI the sky now?”

Laughter…

One of Gu Cheng’s friends said loudly, which induced another round of laughter.

Feng Yi and her group were also held in suspense. Seeing that Li Yao didn’t offer an explanation, and not wishing to question him in front of everyone, they didn’t ask.

Then, a scream of pain followed by surprised shouts from players caught their attention, leading to everyone turning back and questioning what happened.

“Boss Gu is dead.”

“Boss Gu was hit in the crown by an arrow and died.”

Players around the statue clarified, leaving others unwilling to believe what they had heard.

How could Boss Gu die while hiding behind the statue? Who would kill him? Certainly not one of us. No one would willingly provoke this tycoon.

Then they remembered the arrow Li Yao had shot towards the sky moments ago. An epiphany hit them, but they still couldn’t believe it.

“I said it, kill him today, and so I did,” Li Yao confirmed.

Cold shivers ran down their spines. This was terrifying: that he could kill Gu Cheng in such a manner. Was he even human?

The stadium crowd was at a loss. Although they had speculated what happened, they hadn’t seen it and requested a replay.

The replay showed Li Yao firing an arrow into the sky.

Next, the camera followed the arrow ascending into the sky, highlighted for everyone to see.

The players watched as the arrow reached its peak in the sky and started to fall.

The view quickly switched behind the statue where we saw Gu Cheng hiding, healing himself, meanwhile, sneering.

Then the arrow fell and penetrated through his skull, with Gu Cheng unaware. Gu Cheng’s smile was frozen on his face, his eyes filled with an uncomprehending look. He died unwillingly, unclear of how he’d died.

“Projectile motion, it’s only theoretical, but it’s real,” Xiao Ze mumbled to himself.

“Projectiles are simple, frequently used in ancient warfare, but to be this accurate with a projectile, that’s truly extraordinary,” KB watched the continuous replays, as if in a dream-like state.

But by now there was no need for commentary. Everyone could understand the difficulty and brilliance of this move.

The stadium was deafening, as hundreds of thousands of people chanted a single name.

Prairie Fire!

Indeed, Prairie Fire’s performance had left them in awe: the fight at the Duke mansion, Li Yao’s amazing moves and control of the game, had won them over. The final projectile kill was the icing on the cake, completing this battle perfectly.

“Uncle, that move was awesome; I regret not playing as a hunter,” Da Vinci said excitedly.

Dai Mengtong nodded in agreement: “Alas, you killed him just like that. Big brother, I’m totally impressed.”

“What I’m curious about is, why would you let those other players go? It isn’t like you,” Feng Yi asked curiously.

Li Yao chuckled, and replied: “You think I wouldn’t have liked to? But after all that, that ancient relic of a cannon could only fire once. It’s now useless.”

Spit take…

Ps: The gap behind me is closing, brace yourself, requesting a rain of month tickets.
