High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery

Just as it was about to be hit.

A giant circular boulder, over ten meters high, smashed into the Flaming Arrow like a cannonball.

"Boom!" A loud explosion echoed.

The boulder, weighing dozens of tons, was shattered into pieces, the fragments scattering like a rain of shrapnel in all directions.

Many of the fragments flew towards the people present but were intercepted before they could hit anyone.

"Roar!"

The High-level Commander let out a roar, hot breath spouting from its nostrils, its eyes glaring at Chen Fan with palpable anger.

It was evident that the boulder that blocked the arrow earlier was its doing.

At this moment, one of its hands was still holding a giant boulder, seemingly ready to throw it again or keep it to block another arrow.

"What a pity."

Chen Fan sighed softly.

The third arrow, which he was so confident in, had been blocked.

It seemed that killing the ordinary Commander-level Fierce Beast would be quite difficult without first eliminating this High-level Commander.

Yes, not impossible, just a bit difficult.

Chen Fan's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard him clearly.

They looked at the fleeing Strong Demon Ape, the black arrow embedded in its chest, then at the corpse of another Strong Demon Ape lying in the distance, as if stricken by thunder, they stood dumbfounded.

There was only one archer at the scene.

So, was this masked guy in front of them the one who killed the first Strong Demon Ape?

He killed a Commander-level Fierce Beast with just one arrow?

Are you kidding me?

Pei Yong and another person exchanged looks.

A Commander-level Fierce Beast! Even for them, killing an ordinary Commander-level Fierce Beast wasn't impossible, but it would come at a significant cost.

Still, achieving a one-shot kill was beyond them, right?

Honestly, they were reluctant to believe it, but the evidence was right in front of them—second and third arrows to prove it.

If not for the quick reaction of the Strong Demon Ape blocking with its palm, the second arrow would have been fatal!

And now, the third arrow had also arrived.

It too would have been lethal.

At the crucial moment, the High-level Commander threw out a boulder, blocking the arrow and saving the Strong Demon Ape's life.

Each of these arrows had the power to kill the Strong Demon Ape in an instant.

"Who is this guy?"

Tang Qiang's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Chen Fan.

How had he never heard of such a powerful archer in Yan Country?

A figure capable of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast with one arrow wouldn't be unknown!!!

In contrast, Pei Yong's feelings were extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he found it hard to accept; on the other hand, the facts were undeniable.

"Hmph, even if he can take out an ordinary Commander-level Fierce Beast in one shot, so what? What remains is a High-level Commander. Judging by the earlier events, his archery doesn't seem to work on this High-level Commander Strong Demon Ape."

Pei Yong's lips curled into a smirk as he cast a glance at the nearby Celestial God Tree.

In no more than two minutes, the twelve Celestial God Fruits would be ripe.

Three Commander-level Fierce Beasts—one dead, one injured, and one High-level Commander remaining—even if it was strong, teaming up with Tang Qiang would allow them to buy some time.

Crucially, the archer had killed two of its companions right before its eyes. Inevitably, the Commander-level Beast would fight that archer to the death.

Thinking this, the smile on his face grew thicker.

This was what you call "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

In the field, the High-level Commander Strong Demon Ape and Chen Fan were locked in a staredown, time seeming to freeze.

"Gulp."

Zhao Yan swallowed, looking at Shen Si in front of him, and whispered, "Chairman, who do you think will win, that archer or the High-level Commander?"

Shen Si smiled bitterly upon hearing this and shook his head.

How could he know?

If he had to guess, he felt the High-level Commander had a slightly better chance because its speed matched the speed of the arrows.

Furthermore, it could perfectly counter the Flaming Arrows by throwing boulders.

In other words, its attack methods had already been seen through by the beast. Without new techniques, it would be challenging.

Fortunately, with two ordinary Commander-level Strong Demon Apes—one dead and one injured—if they joined forces, they should not have too much trouble taking down the High-level Commander.

However...

He glanced at Pei Yong's side, noting some movement there.

It seemed they intended to steal the Celestial God Fruits while the archer was engaged with the beast.

At this moment, another arrow appeared in Chen Fan's hand, aimed at the High-level Commander.

"!"

Everyone's eyes widened abruptly.

Their faces were filled with disbelief.

What's happening?

This guy's target this time was the High-level Commander Fierce Beast?

But didn't his last arrow get blocked by the latter?

Could he succeed this time?

"Boom!"

The sound of an explosion.

A black streak flashed by in an instant.

"It seems faster than before!"

Shen Si's mouth gaped open.

He could barely see the trace of the arrow at the start earlier.

But this time, he couldn't see it at all!

Pei Yong's expression also darkened. He too noticed the arrow's speed seemed faster.

But what of it?

That was a High-level Commander on the other side!

And it had already seen through his attack method!

"Roar!"

The High-level Commander Strong Demon Ape roared, throwing the boulder in its hand straight ahead while crouching its hind legs, the ground beneath them sinking several meters deep.

Then, pushing off with explosive force, it looked as though it intended to jump.

Yes.

The whole time, it was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to counter an arrow.

If it jumped recklessly, it would become a sitting duck in the air, and the boulder would become a burden.

But once Chen Fan shot an arrow, it could use the boulder to block and then execute a Mount Tai Pressing Down to crush Chen Fan into a meat patty.

However, it miscalculated one thing—this time, Chen Fan was not using a Flaming Arrow but a Sun-Shooting Arrow with a hundred times more power!

The boulder, over a hundred tons, flew out at supersonic speed.

A flash of black light.

The entire boulder instantly shattered, the central stones turning to dust!

The black light's speed only slightly decreased.

The less than one hundred meters of distance vanished in a blink.

"?"

The Strong Demon Ape's eyes widened, its fur standing on end, an unprecedented sense of danger rising from its heart.

Too late.

In its jumping state, it couldn't pick up any nearby boulders or trees to block; it could only watch as the arrow neared, closer and closer...

"Thud!"

A crisp sound.

The arrow pierced its chest, violent True Qi tearing a hole nearly ten meters in diameter, splitting its upper and lower body.

In the stunned eyes of Shen Si and others.

The upper and lower halves of the Strong Demon Ape flew up, but only for a short distance before crashing heavily to the ground, blood and internal organs splattering everywhere.

Silence.

Time seemed to stand still.

All but Chen Fan were frozen, one thought occupying their minds.

Did the High-level Commander Strong Demon Ape just die like that? Was it killed by one arrow?

Even the injured Strong Demon Ape nearby forgot to flee, standing dumbfounded.

Until a Flaming Arrow came, blowing it up on the spot, snapping everyone out of their shock.

Only then did Chen Fan look at them, his tone calm as he asked, "As I said earlier, I want all twelve Celestial God Fruits. Now I say it again—who agrees? Who disagrees?"
