Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2871

Chapter 2871: 2871

The area became surrounded by the ocean of arrows, resulting in a wondrous spectacle . Just one arrow alone was frightening enough, let alone so many of them? 

There was no place to run, no technique to block . The toughest shield and thickest wall would eventually falter to the constant barrages .

Goldpython and Stonecarver True Emperor were intimidated just like the rest of the spectators . As emperors, they somewhat disapproved of the centaur god for accepting the false rumors of him being at the amaranthine level .  

This vanity wasn’t commendable in their eyes . However, after seeing this all-piercing ocean, the two of them became emotional . The centaur god’s power hasn’t reached the amaranthine level but his peerless archery has made it there .

“Rumble!” Not even a fly or mosquito in the vicinity could survive the incoming barrages . The ground fell victim; rocks and soil scattered and smashed .

The students knew that if they were the targets, they would be turned to a bloody mist instantly .

Eventually, the explosion stopped . The targeted area turned into a forest of thorns made up of arrows . Everyone shuddered after seeing the aftermath .

“He gotta be dead, right?” One person murmured while looking at the numerous pits .

“There’s probably nothing left of him…” Another began to search for Li Qiye .

However, it wasn’t that easy to spot someone inside that mess .

“Is he okay?” Zhou Qiushi and the others were slightly startled . That move earlier was quite devastating . Most powerful True Gods would die to it .

“Look, over there!” Someone with a good pair of eyes finally spotted Li Qiye and shouted .

Everyone turned and saw Li Qiye standing still as if he didn’t move an inch from this spot .

Moreover, he was completely unharmed . An ocean of arrow but not a single one managed to prick his skin .

He looked nonchalant and calm, akin to a master walking inside a tornado but it couldn’t even move his robe .  

“How can this be?!” Shouts of astonishment resounded .

“No way!” The centaur god became dazed and staggered backward .  

He was completely confident in that shot earlier, even against emperors stronger than Goldpython and Stonecarver .

But now, his foe stood there and took the entire thing without trying to dodge - an act that could only be described as magic or devilish art .

The two emperors present exchanged glances, becoming increasingly alarmed . They didn’t see what Li Qiye did to survive the barrages, not his movement techniques or actual method .

To be as composed as him under that barrage was definitely something they couldn’t do .

“Now that move was more interesting . ” Li Qiye smilingly said: “Unfortunately, it still lacks mastery . You did look like an archery god though . ”

The centaur god’s expression soured after hearing the sarcastic remark . His proud archery was considered worthless by Li Qiye!

Nevertheless, he focused on the situation at hand, having never experienced something similar before .

He had fought against other emperors before . Even the powerful ones had a hard time dealing with the barrages . Those managing to come out untouched were extremely powerful . This guy shouldn’t have been able to withstand it in this manner .

“One more but let’s make it interesting this time . My shot versus yours, are you confident?” Li Qiye chuckled .

The centaur god froze and instinctively took one step backward .

A while ago, he would certainly take the bet against any emperor or even Everlastings . He had immersed himself in archery his whole life, believing that his dao was matchless .

Now, doubts overwhelmed him . He felt that Li Qiye was completely devilish . Intuition told him that he would lose for sure .

“An archery contest?” The students exchanged glances, thinking that it was a little ridiculous for Li Qiye to go against a known archery expert .

“Why not? Let’s do it!” The centaur god made up his mind and took one step forward, arching his chest .

This posturing was the opposite of his current state of mind . He lacked confidence about the result but alas, there was no other choice . Fleeing wasn’t an option .

To give up now? He would end up losing to Li Qiye and to himself, never able to overcome this shadow and keep his head high . All of his ambition and will would disappear .

“Good, very courageous, let’s begin . ” Li Qiye smiled .

The centaur god snorted and assumed the archery pose with the bow in his hand .

The two emperors watched with bated breath, ready to analyze Li Qiye’s actual strength . This was the centaur god’s last shot so the guy should go all out . Perhaps they would be able to see Li Qiye’s abilities from this exchange .

“Buzz . ” Radiance emerged around the centaur god in the forms of arrows . They turned into iron walls - a defensive archery dao .

“Archery is all or nothing, offense is the best defense . ” Li Qiye saw this and critiqued: “You’re already putting up a defensive barrier before the contest, clearly lacking strength, momentum, and confidence . This isn’t the dao of archery . ”

The centaur god was shocked to hear this . He understood the essences and mysteries of this dao so Li Qiye’s words were spot on . He had been shot in the heart just now .

He shuddered and staggered backward again .

“My bow is ready, arrow nocked . ” Li Qiye smiled, putting his right leg forward and assuming the posture of an archer .

He wasn’t holding a bow or an arrow at all, only looking like an archer ready to fire .

The crowd was confused but the centaur god trembled in fear and staggered once more .

“Impossible!” He roared in disbelief .

The two emperors could understand this . Their expression darkened but they maintained their focus on watching Li Qiye .

“Archery in one’s heart!” The two of them said .

“Archery in all things!” The shocked centaur god finished the line . [1]

This was a state he has been pursuing his entire life . He could see through its mysteries - the highest state of archery, archery in all things!

Despite being an archery god, he still had a way to go before reaching this level!

1 . So the lines go together - archery in one’s heart; archery in all things
