Under normal circumstances, Gu Sheng’s archery skills wouldn’t be enough to threaten a master of the Blood Refining Realm. At most, he would create a bit of trouble, let alone handle someone like Lu Yue, whose life force could condense into a thin veil, because their senses were incredibly sharp.
But it was all Lu Yue’s fault for being in such a poor state and letting her guard down, allowing Gu Sheng to seize the perfect opportunity for an ambush.
This single success was even more effective than Gu Sheng had imagined.
A flicker of joy flashed in his eyes.
Bending his bow and nocking the arrow, another heavy arrow sliced through the air with a powerful oppressive force, fiercely shooting toward Lu Yue’s broken left arm.
At this moment, Lu Yue had completely lost any beauty of a fairy under the moonlight. Her left arm was broken, blood stained half of her body, her hair loose, and her face was grim, like a ghost crawling out from hell.
"It’s you! You beast!"
Lu Yue shrieked sharply, recognizing Gu Sheng’s identity when he shot the second arrow. Now fully focused, this arrow naturally couldn’t have the same effect as the first.
With the perception from their life force, Blood Refining Realm experts sensed their surroundings quickly.
As the second heavy arrow closed in, Lu Yue had already dodged ahead of time. She glared viciously in the direction where Gu Sheng’s figure was faintly visible and turned to flee!
Though she was furious, wishing to tear Gu Sheng into pieces and feed him to dogs, she knew she was in too poor a state to be able to face him in a hard battle.
Gu Sheng’s cold laughter echoed:
"You previously asked your husband to meet at the usual place with a Blood Strengthening Pill, so why are you now being so heartless when your husband is here? Isn’t that right, my dear! Wife!"
As he heavily spat out the last few words, Gu Sheng’s figure was like a leopard, bending his bow and nocking another arrow that flew out.
Lu Yue’s mind was in turmoil, almost having her right arm pierced by an arrow again. Even so, her white dress was torn significantly, revealing some tender skin, which appeared especially glistening under the moonlight.
Lu Yue was crazed with hatred, understanding that the horse-masked person behind her was envious of her previous actions.
Shocked by Gu Sheng’s strength and grinding her teeth in hatred, she barely managed to dodge another arrow aimed at her right arm, her whole body on edge as she focused entirely on sensing the movements behind her.
"Big brother, you really are so ruthless~ Yue’er is but a defenseless girl; I only acted like that before for self-protection. Why must a great man like you, big brother, quarrel with Yue’er over trivial things~"
Lu Yue forced herself to hold back her hatred, speaking in a soft and delicate voice that seemed pitiable, with her expression shifting naturally as if she were truly a weak girl.
If a lecherous person saw it, they might truly feel pity and become soft-hearted.
However, Gu Sheng wasn’t buying any of it.
He shot another arrow, aiming directly at Lu Yue’s head. This time, he used a piercing arrow, with a slender and sharp arrowhead, more stealthy in its whistle through the air.
"Aren’t I your husband? How come I’ve turned into ’big brother’?" Gu Sheng’s cold words caused Lu Yue’s heart to skip a beat.
The piercing arrow sent shivers through her soul. Barely dodging it, she couldn’t help shouting curses:
"You beast worse than a pig or dog, only knowing how to shoot from behind. How about you come and fight me face to face if you’ve got the guts!"
Gu Sheng’s impressive archery was creating immense interference for her.
