Chapter Fifty-One: Promotion to Viscount
Bai Cang stared at the Goddess Archer, without a hint of fear or retreat, because those negative emotions could not help him preserve his life, let alone kill the Goddess Archer.
The ghostly figure gathered in front of his chest, pulled out his legs and stepped on the ancient divine tree, rushing towards the goddess archer with a crazy sprint, his line of sight concentrated on the metal bow above the goddess archer, without blinking.
Hiss!
The moment the bowstring vibrated, Bai Cangdong slightly tilted his head, letting the light arrow slide past his ear, and continued to charge towards the goddess archer without hesitation.
The light arrow reappeared and almost instantly appeared at the heart of Bai Cangdong.
His body spun like a top, the light arrow grazing his chest, and before he could even stand still, another light arrow appeared in front of his abdomen.
With a fierce push of both feet on the tree trunk, he leaped high into the air to avoid the arrow, but another shaft of light shot straight at him, targeting his throat.
He stepped out with a calm and determined expression, suddenly raising his body by three feet to avoid the arrow. Like a sharp arrow himself, he shot out into the air, heavily stepping on a giant tree branch before borrowing its force to charge towards the goddess archer.
The goddess archer's arrow shooting speed is astonishing, almost as soon as the bowstring sounds, the arrow has arrived in front of you, and the arrow shooting does not stop at all, one after another, fast like a thunderbolt.
Bai Cang Dong dodged the light arrows one by one with his exquisite movements, firmly charging towards the divine archer floating above the treetops. No difficulties or obstacles could shake his determination to slay the divine archer.
The goddess archer drew her bowstring again, and this time three light arrows appeared between her fingers, shooting towards Bai Cangdong.
Bai Cang's eyes gleamed like a blade as he saw three rays of light arrows flying towards him simultaneously. His body made a large horizontal shift, dodging the three rays of light arrows.
Three rays of light had just passed, and four rays of light came flying together again, not giving Bai Cangdong a chance to breathe. After Bai Cangdong barely dodged, the next wave of incoming light arrows became five.
When the Goddess Archer shot out ten rays of light arrows at the same time, Bai Cangdong had already been forced to tread out six steps in the air and eight steps on the sky.
The azure wing unfolded, and the Shura Wing's body slid out in a strange arc, flying towards the already not-too-distant goddess archer.
The light arrow reappeared, still ten in number, without increasing again. It seems that this is already the limit of the goddess archer.
"It's just a little bit more." Looking at the goddess archer who was less than ten meters away, Bai Cangdong heavily stepped on the branch and borrowed force to fly up, avoiding the light arrow while stabbing the ghost needle straight towards the goddess archer.
Buzz!
The bowstring vibrated, and the ten radiant arrows once again enveloped Bai Cangdong, almost sealing off all his paths of attack. Bai Cangdong had no choice but to use the Heavenly Eight Steps to dodge the arrows before charging towards the Goddess Archer once more.
The goddess archer was also strange, watching Bai Cang approach step by step, without flapping her wings to fly into the high sky, but quickly pulling the bowstring, shooting out light arrows one after another.
With a thousand thoughts and ten thousand efforts, Bai Cangdong finally rushed to within two meters of the Goddess Archer, no longer needing to endure, all his killing intent condensed on the Ghost Stab, violently shouting and stabbing out.
The goddess archer elegantly turned to avoid the ghostly stab, and the metal bow in her hand also rotated to slash towards Bai Cangdong's neck. The fine bowstring of the metal bow flashed with a cold light.
Bai Cang's heart skipped a beat as he fell backwards, narrowly avoiding the bowstring.
The goddess archer pulled her fingers back, and at such a close distance, she shot out ten more light arrows, while swinging the metal bow towards Bai Cangdong.
"Who says the Goddess Archer is not good at close combat, damn it's killing me!" Bai Cangdong rolled and crawled, in an instant, he consecutively used Blade Step, Flat Clouds and Sky Steps' five steps, and barely dodged the Goddess Archer's series of attacks with the help of Shura Wings.
Bai Cangdong had already fallen into an extremely dangerous situation. All the information he got about the Goddess Archer said that she was not good at close combat, but now he knew very clearly that the Goddess Archer's close combat was more terrifying than simply shooting out light arrows from a distance. The metal bow was like a light and sharp dagger, and the bowstring that flashed with cold light seemed to be able to cut through everything like a knife blade.
Add to that the swift and agile movements like lightning and the possibility of shooting out light arrows at any time, it's simply a human-shaped killing machine, with no place on his body that can't be fatal.
The white wolf's dodges were already completely devoid of any attacking power, and it had almost been shot by the light arrows several times.
A light arrow brushed against Bai Cangdong's cheek and flew over, leaving a shallow wound on his cheek. This was already the fourth time that Bai Cangdong had narrowly escaped being killed by the light arrows. The previous three light arrows also left wounds on his body, each one deeper than the last. If not for the silk armor blocking them, two of the arrows could have taken his life directly.
The goddess archer gained momentum, her figure like a shadow chasing after Bai Cangdong, continuously shooting out rays of light, metal cutting through everything to strike at Bai Cangdong's vitals.
"When heroes meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. If I retreat further, I'll only have a dead end." Bai Cangdong steeled himself and instead of retreating, he advanced with an eerie, continuously shifting figure, dodging a round of light arrows before dashing towards the goddess archer who was now within sight.
The metal bow swung back, the bowstring fiercely striking towards Bai Cangdong's neck. Although Bai Cangdong still had the power to dodge, he knew that at this moment he absolutely could not retreat again, otherwise he would only repeat the same mistake and be shot to death by endless light arrows.
Right!
The bowstring did not cut into Bai Cangdong's neck, but only chopped off a white double-handed sword. Bai Cangdong took advantage of the indestructible property of the pure white knight's double-handed sword to block the metal bow's attack. If it were another baron-level armed sword, it would have been cut off along with the person wielding it.
At the moment when the giant sword blocked the fatal blow, Bai Cangdong finally had the chance to stab the Goddess Archer for the first time. Gui Ci stabbed out without hesitation, directly at the Goddess Archer's heart.
The archer goddess's speed was even faster than what Bai Canghai had imagined, her beautiful body quickly retreating backwards, and Bai Canghai's sword stabbing speed couldn't catch up with her figure.
The bowstring resonated again, and the goddess archer, while retreating, still had the strength to shoot out a radiant arrow.
Bai Cangdong knew this was his best chance, if he couldn't succeed this time, it would be almost impossible to get close to the Divine Archer again.
The Eight Steps in the Sky combined with Shura Wing were almost used to their limits, his body twisted and folded in mid-air in an unnatural way, dodging the light arrow in an unbelievable manner, before darting towards the Goddess Archer once again.
The metal bow hacked down fiercely from top to bottom towards Bai Cangdong's shoulder, if this bow really hacked into him, Bai Cangdong was afraid that he would immediately be hacked in two.
But Bai Cangdong had no room for choice, facing the goddess shooter who was within arm's reach, he must complete this shot, perhaps he only had this one chance to hit the goddess shooter.
Ignoring the swift slash of the metal bow, the ghostly spear pierced deeply into the heart of the goddess archer.
The metal bow struck first, slashing at Bai Cangdong's body. A holy white light flashed on Bai Cangdong's body, and the metal bow was deflected. At this time, Bai Cangdong's ghostly spear also pierced the Goddess Archer. The Goddess Archer's body similarly flickered with a white, immortal light, but it could not stop the ghostly spear, which pierced her heart.
"It's a good thing there was this substitute jade pendant, otherwise today would have been really disastrous." Bai Cangdong looked at the already shattered substitute jade pendant and secretly felt relieved.
On the other side, the goddess archer let out a miserable cry and retreated repeatedly. Her body suddenly collapsed into countless white streams of light and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only one object on the ground.
"Undead Egg!" Bai Cangdong couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the milky white, semi-transparent egg-shaped object on the ground. He ignored the pain from his wounds and quickly walked over to pick it up.
Undead Egg: One of the Goddesses of the Cang Shen Ancient Clan, a divine archer who requires holy spring water to hatch.
"It's indeed an Undead Egg, but what is that Sacred Spring Water!" Bai Cangdong was extremely frustrated. He already had two Viscount-level Undead Eggs, but hatching them wasn't an easy task.
He put away the undead egg, and Bai Cangdong hurriedly checked his fate plate. Sure enough, he found that his title had changed to Viscount, and when he was promoted, he had the right to change his title once, but Bai Cangdong did not use it. The title still inherited the "Fist" of the Baron era, changing from Fist Baron to Fist Viscount.
A golden light burst forth from the life plate, transforming into a soaring radiance that illuminated everything. Bai Cangdong couldn't help but throw his head back and let out a long, triumphant whoop: "I've finally advanced to Viscount!"
After calming down, Bai Cangdong slightly treated his injuries and left the Cangshen Ancient Tree, heading towards the Lonely Sky Cliff.
Halfway through, he saw Xuefeng hanging from the vines. He went over and felt his body, only to find that there was no breath or pulse left, completely dead.
The goddess archer shot an arrow that went straight through his skull and down, piercing his entire body. It was absolutely impossible for him to survive.
Bai Cangdong gazed at the corpse of Jianfeng Baron, but fell into deep thought. The build of Jianfeng Baron was almost identical to his own, with similar height, weight and body shape. The only difference lay in their facial features, but due to the arrow shot by the Goddess Archer that pierced through his skull from top to bottom, shattering his facial bones, his face had become extremely distorted, making it impossible to discern his original appearance.
Bai Cang East thought for a moment, then suddenly took off his clothes and put them on Jian Feng Baron. After thinking again, he also placed the pure white double-handed great sword in Jian Feng Baron's hand.
"This way, everyone will think that I was killed by the Goddess Archer." Bai Cangdong looked at his own masterpiece, although there were still many loopholes, but now he didn't have a better way to cover it up.
While Hakuchou himself put on the Viscount's clothes and mask, directly transforming into the Viscount of Masks, no, it should be Viscount of Masks now.
Bai Cangdong checked again, feeling that there was no flaw, and quickly went down to the Lonely Sky Cliff. At the foot of the cliff, he saw the corpse of Dao Feng Baron, who had been smashed beyond recognition. Fortunately, it was nighttime now, and there were no people at the foot of the cliff. Bai Cangdong thought for a moment, then set fire to the body, burning Dao Feng Baron's corpse into ashes.
