Ye Zhengtang narrowed his eyes slightly. "I am the chief constable of Qinghe County. Catching thieves and burglars is my duty. Do you think I'll let you go?"

Lu Fengnian frowned slightly. "Does it really have to be a fight to the death?"

Ye Zhengtang sneered, "Lu Fengnian, you overestimate yourself. Four arrows in quick succession is indeed impressive, but to think you can fight me to the death with just that is a bit too naive."

Lu Fengnian raised his head slightly, "Four arrows are not my limit. If Chief Constable Ye insists on forcing me to fight to the death, I can try to shoot five or six arrows in one go."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengtang's pupils contracted slightly.

Lu Fengnian continued, "You were able to withstand four of my arrows. Five arrows would probably be your limit, and six arrows would definitely have injured you."

Stop bragging and spouting nonsense!

Ye Zhengtang spoke coldly.

Lu Fengnian slightly raised his eyelids. "If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it to you right now."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Ye Zhengtang's response.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow, which landed ten feet away on an old tree with a whoosh.

This action left Ye Zhengtang and the two constables on the official road completely baffled.

Lu Feng explained in a young voice, "To shoot five or six arrows at once is still a little difficult for me."

We need to warm up first, otherwise the success rate will be a bit low. I'll trouble Chief Constable Ye to wait for me a moment.

Of course, if Chief Constable Ye doesn't want to wait and wants to try it himself, I don't mind.

As he spoke, he kept drawing and shooting arrows, hitting the old tree ten feet away with each bamboo arrow.

Ye Zhengtang was a second-grade martial artist with extraordinary eyesight. Even in the dark, he could clearly see that almost every arrow Lu Fengnian shot hit the same spot on the old tree, with the arrows clustered together.

Such archery skills are truly remarkable.

He stared intently at Lu Fengnian without saying a word.

Lu Fengnian fired arrow after arrow without stopping, and stopped when there were only six arrows left in his quiver.

He quickly ran to the old tree, pulled out all the arrows, and then ran back to his original position to continue shooting.

Ye Zhengtang frowned, and the two constables on the official road were also completely bewildered.

Does it take this long to warm up?

"Lu Fengnian, what kind of mystery are you playing at?"

Ye Zhengtang spoke coldly, his face showing anger.

As Lu Fengnian shot the arrow, he laughed and said, "It will be ready soon. Once I've used up all the arrows in the bamboo tube, I'll immediately demonstrate the six-arrow volley to Chief Constable Ye."

Arrow after arrow, the firing began again.

Although Ye Zhengtang was impatient, he eventually held back.

Because Lu Fengnian was right, if Lu Fengnian could shoot five arrows in quick succession, he would have to give it his all if he wanted to continue.

If it were six arrows, even if he could block them, he would probably be injured.

If he were injured by a country bumpkin, and word got out, he would be utterly humiliated.

He wanted to wait and see if Lu Fengnian could fire six arrows in quick succession.

However, what he never expected was...

Four arrows in quick succession was already Lu Fengnian's limit. His current actions were merely a way to buy time and improve his archery skills.

Once your archery skill reaches level three, you need 100,000 attempts to improve it further.

Although Lu Fengnian did not intensively improve his proficiency, he would practice archery every day whenever he had free time.

If it weren't for the trip to the Old Turtle Cave slightly delaying his progress, he probably would have already raised his archery skills to level four.

However, after returning from the Old Turtle Cave, his proficiency level was already approaching 100,000. He originally planned to go home and then raise his archery skills to level four in one go.

Unexpectedly, they encountered the Wang Cripple incident, which caused a delay.

When he left Mao'er Village with Liu Yunjuan and Lu Xiaoyu, his proficiency level on his system panel had reached 99,900. He only needed to shoot 100 more arrows to improve his archery level.

Once he improves, his archery skills, physique, and sensory abilities will all improve.

He was confident that even if he fired three arrows in quick succession, he could still make Ye Zhengtang back down.

At this moment, his proficiency level on the system panel has reached 99,966. He only needs to shoot 34 more times to succeed.

However, he has now emptied his quiver of arrows to only six for the second time and must continue to find excuses to delay.

Before Ye Zhengtang could speak, he ran back to the old tree, pulled the arrows off the trunk one by one, and put them into the quiver.

He ran back to the original spot, nocked an arrow, and drew his bow once more, racing against time to improve his proficiency.

"That's enough!"

Ye Zhengtang angrily retorted, "Are you trying to make a fool of me, Officer Ye?"

Lu Fengnian quickly shook his head, "How could that be? It's because Chief Constable Ye put too much pressure on me, so I need more warm-up time."

He kept shooting while talking.

Ye Zhengtang snorted coldly, "Lu Fengnian, since you can't shoot six arrows in a row, then quickly surrender."

Otherwise, don't blame this constable for being ruthless!

Lu Fengnian showed no sign of stopping, firing arrow after arrow, and his proficiency level on the system panel increased rapidly.

Ye Zhengtang finally couldn't hold back any longer. He drew the curved knife from his waist, lowered his body, and pounced on Lu Fengnian again.

At the same time, with his back to his two subordinates, he shouted, "Hide behind the horses! Don't peek out!"

Lu Fengnian turned his bow and arrow around, and the bamboo arrow shot out.

The arrow pierced the wind, its target aimed directly at Ye Zhengtang's face.

After firing, he didn't check the result, but instead chose to retreat, heading straight backward.

Because he knew very well that a single bamboo arrow was no match for Ye Zhengtang.

Sure enough, the bamboo arrow had just flown three feet away from Ye Zhengtang when he cleaved it in two with a single stroke.

After splitting the bamboo arrow, Ye Zhengtang continued to charge forward.

Lu Fengnian fired another bamboo arrow, retreating into the woods as he shot.

He quickly retreated ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) and came to the old tree that had been used as a target, where he collected all the bamboo arrows.

They then continued to retreat deeper into the forest, shooting arrows at Ye Zhengtang as they went to slow his attack.

Bang, bang, bang! The sounds of arrows being slashed echoed through the woods as Ye Zhengtang cut down bamboo arrows one after another.

At the same time, Ye Zhengtang was also constantly closing the distance between himself and Lu Fengnian.

Lu Fengnian remained expressionless, continuing to shoot arrows as he retreated rapidly.

One bamboo arrow after another was shot out, only to be cut in half.

When only ten bamboo arrows and two iron arrows remained in the quiver, Ye Zhengtang was less than ten zhang away from Lu Fengnian.

At this moment, Lu Fengnian stopped and did not continue to retreat.

Instead, he stood still, feet slightly apart, one in front of the other, shoulder-width apart, nocked a bamboo arrow, and slowly pulled back the bowstring.

Sensing something, Ye Zhengtang stopped his rapid pursuit.

He vaguely sensed that Lu Fengnian's aura had changed, which made him feel uneasy.
