High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery

"Brother Du, this guy is strange."

Jiang Miao whispered.

"?"

Du Hao's face showed a trace of astonishment.

"What do you mean?"

"Brother Du, haven't you felt that this guy seems to know we are coming, so he ambushed here right away?"

Jiang Miao's gaze was fixed on Chen Fan not far away.

He had just thought of this.

Upon hearing this, Du Hao's face changed drastically.

It seems to be true?

This morning's decision to go to Anshan City, apart from a few of them, almost no one else knew.

Yet this guy appeared halfway and launched an attack unexpectedly, directly killing Zou Xuan!

Could it be that someone leaked the information?

He glanced at Jiang Miao and then at Ye Cheng, who was like a limp rag, feeling their possibility was small, and Zou Xuan was even less likely.

So, is there a traitor among my people?

But is this really possible? The ones I arranged to be close to me are all my trusted aides. What would be their reason to betray me?

Could there be another possibility,

This guy is from near Anshan City, and after killing me last time, knowing I will come, has been ambushing on the only way from Jiulong City to Anshan City.

"I say, have you finished discussing yet?"

Chen Fan frowned and urged, "You came this time to seek revenge, right? I am here in front of you, why are you hesitating? Didn't I kill your companions before?"

"You!"

Du Hao's eyes showed anger, looking at Jiang Miao, "Brother Jiang, no matter what strange things are involved, just disable this guy, and we can get any information from him."

Ye Cheng behind him also swallowed hard, looking at Jiang Miao.

That's right, at this moment, his, and Du Hao's safety, more accurately his safety, all depended on Jiang Miao.

If Jiang Miao wins, he naturally can escape danger.

If Jiang Miao loses, the fierce-looking man before him would definitely not spare him.

"Brother Du is right."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Miao nodded, "Since that's the case, I'll make a move."

"Hmm, I leave this guy to Brother Jiang."

Du Hao nodded.

Jiang Miao then looked at Chen Fan.

He had a premonition that the opponent had already seen his flaw, that in his Phantom state, he could immune to any physical attack, but at the moment he strikes, his body would change from Phantom to physical. In other words, the moment he strikes is also the best moment for others to attack him.

"So, this guy is confident in his speed, thinking he can attack me at the moment I strike?"

He took a deep breath.

To be honest, the difficulty of this task really exceeded his expectations.

But he had no retreat; even if it's difficult, he had to grit his teeth and go through it. Of course, in his view, this task is difficult but not impossible.

With a flick of his right hand, there was a "swish" sound, and a green long sword, over a meter long, appeared in his right hand.

"..."

Chen Fan squinted.

Martial Artist?

Or, this guy is also an Awakener and has cultivated a lot of Martial Arts Techniques?

This surprised him a bit, but it made sense, as not all Awakeners have combat-type Superpowers.

However, being a B-level Awakener, even if the Superpower is average, his combat power wouldn't be weak.

"Be careful."

Jiang Miao said, holding the long sword and pounced towards Chen Fan.

In the next moment, a jaw-dropping scene happened.

In midair, Jiang Miao's figure suddenly split into two, then two into four, four into eight, and finally, into sixteen figures attacking Chen Fan from all directions.

"Amazing!"

Ye Cheng's jaw almost dropped to the ground in surprise.

He had heard that Jiulong City's Jiang Miao had cultivated a Body Technique called Flying Shadow Divine Skill, nearly perfect in Realm, able to create fifteen false forms.

These false forms, from clothing to actions, even the emitted aura, were identical without any difference.

Unless the opponent distinguishes the real body to resist, he'd surely die. But to distinguish the real body was easier said than done.

This Body Technique seemed customized for Jiang Miao, giving him an undefeated position.

Du Hao's eyes glinted with excitement.

He gave a fierce look at Chen Fan, as if seeing the latter's death on the spot.

In the arena, their distance was less than thirty meters.

"All the auras are identical?"

Chen Fan showed a trace of astonishment.

He thought using Celestial Response, he could easily distinguish the real body, but it didn't work.

"He's panicking!"

Jiang Miao felt overjoyed.

He initially perceived this guy as weird and troublesome; thus, if he moved, he'd strike with full force.

Just now, his opponent showed surprise in his eyes.

Clearly indicating he had no countermeasure for his move.

"To be sure, I'll send you to death."

He concentrated the remaining three to four hundred drops of True Essence on the sword tip and aimed at a crucial point on Chen Fan's body, ruthlessly stabbing.

More than a dozen false forms mirrored this.

Targeting his eyes, temples, heart, etc.

At this moment, time seemed to slow tenfold.

Jiang Miao watched the sword tip inch closer to Chen Fan's neck, finally stabbing through.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound.

Not the expected sensation of piercing flesh, but as if striking a bronze bell, his hand went numb.

Then, a wave of True Essence, larger than his, surged from the collision point, roaring towards him.

Like being hit by a truck head-on, Jiang Miao's figure was sent flying.

"Crack!"

In midair, his long sword shattered into countless pieces.

"No good!"

Jiang Miao was shocked, trying to release the sword hilt.

But it was too late.

A massive amount of True Essence instantly invaded his arm, rushing towards his body.

Even a True Essence Realm Martial Artist's meridian couldn't bear such massive True Essence, exploding instantly, shredding half of his right arm, revealing bloody white bones.

Countless True Essence further invaded his body.

"Crack! Crack!"

Amid the continuous sound of bones breaking, Jiang Miao sprayed blood like a fountain.

"Thud!"

A heavy thud.

He fell heavily, lying limp like mud.

His head raised, eyes filled with terror, about to say something when a large foot came down, crushing his head.

Instantly, the scene fell into dead silence.

Chen Fan looked at the headless corpse underfoot.

He guessed what the opponent wanted to say.

Golden Bell Shield.

Yes, though he couldn't distinguish the real body, due to cultivating the Golden Bell Shield, he could counter all attacks.

The 9th Floor Golden Bell Shield's Rebound trait, once activated, could rebound 40% of one's own True Essence damage during close combat.

His True Essence almost reached 3000 points now, 40% equals 1200 points, equal to 120,000 True Qi.

If a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist faced this, he'd surely die. Even a True Essence Realm Martial Artist wouldn't fare well.

Moreover, the opponent had almost exhausted his True Essence to deal with him.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and prevent him from revealing his Martial Arts too early, it was best to kill him immediately.

Du Hao and Ye Cheng at that moment were petrified, staring at the corpse at Chen Fan's feet, mouths wide in shock.

Jiang Miao, dead?

Was his head crushed right before their eyes?

That was a B-level Awakener! With so many false forms, they couldn't distinguish the real one.

How could he tell?

"Du Hao, I killed the two guys you brought. Any other tricks up your sleeve?" Chen Fan's voice rang, face showing a playful smile.

"You!"

Du Hao's eyes showed deep fear.

Yes,

He brought two B-level Awakeners today for his revenge plan.

Not solely against Chen Fan, but also to ensure obtaining the Celestial God Fruit smoothly, without unexpected events.

Yet, even before reaching Anshan City, the two experts died one after another, and absurdly, Zou Xuan hadn't got a single chance to strike…

Jiang Miao was even more ridiculous.

Saying no matter if the opponent could use the Fifth Strike of Windward Slash couldn't harm him.

In reality, it cost him his life.

Now only he and Ye Cheng remained, the latter had next to no combat power, making him the strongest among them.

On the other side, Ye Cheng trembled like a leaf.

He didn't expect his last hope to shatter like that.

Du Hao's superpower was Clone; as long as his real body survived, he was immortal.

But he was different.

If he died, he indeed died.

In the next moment, he knelt, ignoring Du Hao's presence, desperately kowtowing to Chen Fan, "Please, sir, I was just passing by. We have no grudge. Spare me. I beg you."

Chen Fan was stunned, then looked teasingly at Du Hao.

Du Hao reacted, furious, shouting, "Ye Cheng! What are you doing? Do you know who he is? Begging him?"
