Chapter 1474: Chapter 1474: Overbearing

Seeing Li Yao in his soul form opting to use bow and arrow instead of a sickle, the charging Lion Tribe Leader’s face twisted in rage: "Such contempt for me, you’re seeking your own death."

Given Li Yao’s reputation, there’s an abundance of analysis and discussion about him on various forums and websites.

Everyone knows Prairie Fire has two forms: his original body excelling in long-range combat, and his soul form which possesses close-combat skills.

Yet, when facing him, Li Yao had set aside his close-combat abilities in favor of using a bow and arrow. In the Lion Tribe Leader’s eyes, this was a supreme disgrace.

"Shatter for me!"

When still hundreds of yards away from Li Yao, the Lion Tribe Leader furiously stomped the ground, causing a multitude of cracks to appear, a testament to the terrific force of his stomp.

The Lion Tribe Leader’s body, like an artillery shell, traced a parabola through the air towards Li Yao; that’s right, slamming straight towards him.

The spikes on the shield sparkled with a ghostly light, suddenly growing several inches, turning into blades.

With such massive force and momentum, if Li Yao were to be hit, then according to the current game rules...

Li Yao would certainly break quite a few bones, and his body would be pierced by the sharp blades of the shield.

But Li Yao showed no intention of dodging. He simply drew his bow and nocked an arrow, one that didn’t exist initially. As he pulled back the Star Bow, a phantasmal arrow made of countless stars appeared – this was the magic arrow of the Star Bow when there were no physical arrows.

The expressions of the two Green Dragons changed, and they even thought about intervening, but upon seeing the Dragon Queen’s unfazed expression, they immediately gave up the thought of intervening.

The Lion Tribe Leader’s eyes were filled with ferocity, blood-red with madness, clearly those of someone who had actually witnessed bloodshed in reality, his crazed bloodthirstiness completely visible.

Occupying the high ground, he continued his charge, dropping with gravity and momentum, slamming fiercely towards Li Yao.

"Scram!"

Only when the Lion Tribe Leader’s shield was less than five yards away did Li Yao release his finger, and the arrow instantly flashed a brilliant light.

Boom...

The collision between the arrow and the blade on the Lion Tribe Leader’s shield produced a thunderous explosion. Then, under the inexplicably shocked gaze of the crowd, the magical arrow exploded with a loud bang.

But before the Lion Tribe Leader could even show his delight, he felt an overwhelming and unstoppable force transmitting from his shield.

In the eyes of the audience, the Lion Tribe Leader’s massive body froze in the air, five or six yards above Li Yao, for a full second, before flying back even faster than before.

Following that, Li Yao fired arrows like meteors, countless welcomes appearing in his misty hands.

One arrow after another shot out.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

Rumbling...

Arrow after arrow struck the Lion Tribe Leader’s shield, and by the third arrow, his arm fractured from the immense force.

Then, the shield became pressed against his body, and indeed it was this dark golden shield that temporarily saved his life.

But more miserable than death, by the fifth arrow, the Lion Tribe Leader’s massive body had already collided with the stone walls on both sides of the corridor.

By the time the eighth arrow was fired, the Lion Tribe Leader’s body was thoroughly embedded in the stone wall, surrounded by irregular cracks.

Moreover, his dark-gold Shield finally collapsed under the strain, its durability depleted and pierced directly by the eighth Arrows, which also went through the Lion Tribe Leader’s throat, killing him instantly.

From the outside, all one could see was a Shield with an arrow piercing through it, embedded in the stone wall—there was no sign of the Lion Tribe Leader’s presence.

"Indeed, it is a great Shield, excellent in both offense and defense. Although I haven’t seen its attack capabilities, I assume they are also formidable. To withstand eight arrows powered by the might of the Dragon Father, it clearly is one of the finest amongst the dark-gold class. Such a Divine Artifact falling into the hands of such a brute really is like casting pearls before swine."

Li Yao ceased firing and spoke slowly.

To the spectators and those around, it was as if they had witnessed Undead magic; eight arrows exhausting the durability of a mighty dark-gold Shield, then penetrating it seemed almost mythic.

However, many newcomers and some ordinary players couldn’t see the rationale and started to ask questions.

"To be unable to withstand even eight arrows, what kind of divine Shield is this? Isn’t that an exaggeration?"

"Even a regular wooden Shield being pierced by arrows would be difficult, wow, that’s impressive."

"I also don’t understand why it is called a Divine Shield."

An analyst chuckled wryly and said, "You all are forgetting two details, one is Prairie Fire’s personal ability, and the other is the point of impact of the Arrows."

The video began to replay, this time in slow motion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this faint Dragon Shadow behind him, this is the Dragon Father, those who don’t know about Dragon Father can look it up in the library. Acclaimed as the limit of strength throughout the ages, under the same quality and level, the strength of the Dragon Father represents the ultimate pinnacle of physical power in this world."

"If you think my words are an exaggeration, you can go watch the videos of the universal contest where Diamond clashed against and severely beat Draconids, the strength displayed there is beyond imagination. If it were just the power of the Dragon Father, maybe this Shield could withstand it, but he’s using the Star Bow, which added even more strength."

"And the most crucial point, the eight Arrows were fired within less than two seconds, and they all hit exactly the same spot. Look, there are no other marks of impact on the Shield, just this one point. Try a simple experiment, with the same force if you poke someone with a wooden stick and then with a steel pin, the destructive power will naturally differ."

"When the extreme power is concentrated on one point, I estimate even a golden-grade Shield couldn’t withstand a single arrow, let alone this dark-gold Shield which held up against eight arrows from Prairie Fire, hence proving its remarkable strength. Under normal attacks, who knows how many hits it would take to deplete its durability."

As the analyst was breaking it down, Li Yao, who had initially relaxed his bowstring, once again bent his Bow and Arrow.

This action was so sudden that people hadn’t recovered when they saw an arrow shot out at incredible speed, heading straight for the opposing Lion Tribe Leader.

"Boss, be careful." But their reaction was no match for its speed.

It was a guard of the Lion Tribe who, like lightning, raised a Tower Shield in front of the Lion Tribe Leader.

Thud...

The hefty gold-quality Steel Shield, as fragile as paper, was directly pierced by the arrow, which then went on to pierce the guard’s throat before violently exploding in the Lion Tribe Leader’s throat.

The Lion Tribe Leader’s head was utterly shattered, and he collapsed to the ground.

Everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock; the distance between the two sides was at least three thousand yards, and the speed of the Arrows was so fast that the players couldn’t even react.

What’s more critical is that such a robust Tower Shield was so fragile, so easily shattered, and only then did the audience truly understand why Li Yao called that Spiked Shield a supreme shield.

The Lion Tribe Leader, having been resurrected, was full of rage and discontent: "Prairie Fire, if it were your true self here, maybe I would fear you a bit, but in your current state, without arrow skills, it’s impossible for you to kill me again. Don’t forget, we all have one chance for resurrection."

Li Yao chuckled, "I haven’t forgotten, I just wanted to remind you not to be so pompous. Standing in my line of sight without any protection, you’re asking for it. Does your mother know you’re this foolhardy?"...
