Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 378 - 376 Shooting the Flag

When the enemy forces had repeatedly engaged in verbal assaults earlier, even though the insults were aimed at Chen Mo, since Chen Mo was their commander, someone they admired, they shared a sense of honor and disgrace with him.

Adding to this was the prohibition against attacking, which made them feel stifled, holding a fire in their hearts. Now that Chen Mo had shot and killed the person hurling insults from a thousand meters away with a single arrow, it eased their sense of oppression considerably, and they cheered excitedly.

Zhao Qi’s face looked somewhat grim, because the Red Armored Young General who was shot was his man.

"Alliance Leader, the Flood Dragon Tendon Bow has arrived."

At this moment, Zhao Jiang’s personal soldiers brought in the Flood Dragon Tendon Bow.

The Flood Dragon Tendon Bow was entirely silver-white. The bow body was crafted from the spine of a Flood Dragon, while the bowstring was made from the dragon’s tendons, giving off a menacing chill while also conveying a sense of immense power contained within the bow.

This bow required two people to lift and needed ten thousand catties of force to draw.

The arrows used were not ordinary either, all made from Flood Dragon bones.

When the various nobles saw this bow, they were extraordinarily amazed. Zhou Da, Zhou Er, and Zhou San’s eyes were especially heated; as people of high martial skill, who wouldn’t want to possess such a fine bow?

While the opposing side was cheering excitedly, Zhao Jiang picked up the Flood Dragon Tendon Bow, drew it fully, and the first target he aimed at was Chen Mo.

But considering that Chen Mo could kill Wang Mo, his strength must be formidable, and shooting Chen Mo from this far away wouldn’t hurt him at all, making it meaningless.

So Zhao Jiang aimed at the "Chen" character General’s Banner standing on the city wall; as long as he shot down the General’s Banner, he could also save face.

Moreover, the banner was some distance from the city tower, likely out of the opponent’s reach.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Jiang’s fingers released, and the silver-white Bone Arrow shot forward as a streak of silver light towards the distance.

"Great shooting, my lord." Gao Zheng continued to fawn over Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo’s eyes seemed to lock onto something; he drew the bow and nocked an arrow again, aiming at his own General’s Banner not far away.

Gao Zheng, Jiang Ruoqing, Li Yang, and others were all stunned; what was the meaning of shooting his own flag?

Chen Mo had no extra time to explain to them; after gathering force, the arrow left the string directly.

Moments later, everyone heard a crisp clash and the sound of bricks cracking.

They looked in the direction from which the sound came and found a silver-white arrow lodged in the city wall near the General’s Banner, and below the wall lay a broken arrow in two.

And this broken arrow was the one that Chen Mo had shot earlier.

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone finally understood what had happened.

Someone from the opposite side had tried to take the opportunity to shoot down the General’s Banner on the city wall, but the general caught on and foiled the opponent’s scheme.

Understanding this, a feverish cheer erupted once more.

Even Li Yang couldn’t help but praise Chen Mo as a "Divine Archer."

At least he himself hadn’t noticed the arrow coming from the other side.

It was imaginable how fast that arrow must have been.

But Chen Mo not only noticed it, but also managed to shoot the incoming arrow with his own; this archery was simply divine.

Dai Xishan was also somewhat dumbfounded.

To know that during the prior martial examination, Chen Mo’s archery had been utterly unremarkable, yet now it was so divine.

This one really played the fool.

Chen Mo was also somewhat surprised, but he was not surprised at his own archery, but rather at the silver-white arrow shot from the opposite side, not expecting it to directly break his own arrow.

Who on the opposite side shot this arrow?

Conversely, on the opposite side, the faces of the various nobles were not looking good.

Zhao Jiang’s face was even directly somber.

With his strength, he naturally saw that his arrow would be shot down right before hitting the Battle Banner, when suddenly another arrow came and altered its trajectory.

That is to say, the arrow he shot out had already been detected by the other side.

And the opponent’s strength, archery, and even perception had to be stronger than his own.

Otherwise, this wouldn’t have been achievable.

To know, the arrows he used, when fired, made no sound.

Without good perception, it wouldn’t be detectable at all.

"Chen Mo? Impossible?!"

Just as Chen Mo’s face emerged in Zhao Jiang’s mind, he denied it.

Even if Chen Mo was extraordinarily talented, breaking through to a First Grade Martial Artist at nineteen, his experience definitely wasn’t enough to achieve this.

Moreover, as per his understanding, this Chen Mo had never commanded troops before, making it even more impossible.

Only those seasoned generals or First Grade Martial Artists proficient in archery who have been a First Grade Martial Artist for a long time could achieve this.

Divine archers are nurtured on arrows.

How could that young boy possibly do it?

The Canglan Continent doesn’t allow such formidable individuals to exist.

To verify his hypothesis, Zhao Jiang shot another arrow.

Again, towards the opposing General’s Banner.

"Again?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow but didn’t use the previous method, instead, he used Shifting Form and Position, rushing directly towards the General’s Banner.

Just as the silver-white arrow was about to hit the General’s Banner, Chen Mo caught the silver-white arrow with one hand.

Then he was amazed to find that the arrow was neither gold, silver, nor wood, but rather seemed to be made from animal bone, and even bare, the arrow carried a faint oppressive aura.

At the moment Chen Mo caught the arrow.

Zhao Jiang’s facial muscles twitched: "Such... fast speed!"

"Is this guy... still human?" Zhao Qi spoke in a trembling voice.

The faces of the Zhou Da trio were also getting serious.

Especially Zhou San, whose face was inexplicably flushed.

To know, a few days ago, he was the one who said Chen Mo was a marked man for sale.

Planning to lead people to claim Chen Mo’s head.

If they really went, the ones ambushed at Niu Shan would be them.

"Alliance Leader, look quickly, it seems like he wants to shoot... you." one of the nobles beside said.

Zhao Jiang’s pupils contracted as he found Chen Mo bending the bow and nocking an arrow, aiming right at him, and using Zhao Jiang’s own arrow.

"Returning it to you." Chen Mo directly activated the Red Dragon Demon Arm, his Ancient Heavy Pupils locked onto the far side, and the bowstring drew taut instantly, the bow even resonating with vibration, showing signs of breaking.

As the arrow left the string, the bow could no longer withstand, directly snapping with a crack, breaking into two pieces.

"Tricks of the trade." Zhao Jiang neither dodged nor planned to use True Qi to block it; instead, he wanted to catch the arrow like Chen Mo did.

But unexpectedly, that arrow flew right past his side.

"Missed?" just as this thought emerged in his mind.

He only heard a crash, and not far behind, the Great Banner toppled over in response.

His General’s Banner had been shot down by Chen Mo.

Zhao Jiang’s face turned completely black.

As for Chen Mo’s side.

"Good, beautiful, the opponent’s Great Banner has been shot down by the general."

"That seems to be King Yan’s General’s Banner."

"Great arrow."

On the city wall, cheers erupted once more. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Even Li Yang and Feng Ji felt incredibly relieved.
