Wang Yi moved on the rooftop, changing her position repeatedly, drawing her bow and shooting arrows one after another. Each arrow was shot at supersonic speed towards Lei Yunfang. However, as the world's top expert in movement, Lei Yunfang had reached an almost unimaginable realm. He didn't even need to look at the arrows; he could easily avoid them by sensing the abnormal vibrations in the wind.
For Lei Yunfang, moving with the wind had become instinctive.
But this scene was a great humiliation for Wang Yi.
"How can he turn his back on me, let me shoot arrows, and I still miss?" Each arrow that missed and hit the stone ground felt like it was piercing her own heart. She felt stifled and uncomfortable.
She was incredibly proud.
She admitted that there were people in the world stronger than her, but she could not accept that someone could turn their back on her, let her shoot arrows, and she still couldn't hit them.
The angrier she became, the colder her expression grew, like an iceberg, showing no ripples. Outsiders couldn't sense the increasingly intense volcanic anger beneath her coldness.
When her anger reached its peak, her eyes turned red, and the blood in her body flowed faster. At that moment, she felt a buzzing in her brain, and her thinking and reactions became faster.
Her muscles and bones were incredibly clear, and she could precisely control every fiber of her muscles, making her body's explosive power reach a new level.
"Draw the bow!"
Wang Yi drew the bow as usual, but this time, she pulled it to its limit, bending it to a great extent, truly drawing it to the fullest.
It's worth noting that when Wang Yi performed 'rapid shooting,' she usually only drew the bow to a third of its capacity, and even when using armor-piercing arrows, the draw was larger. At this moment, the large bow was bent to the brink of its capacity limit, and Wang Yi could feel the material of the bow trembling.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Wang Yi's mind was incredibly clear, and she released the arrow with her right hand.
The arrow suddenly tore through the air at a terrifying speed, heading straight for Lei Yunfang, who was about sixty meters away. Lei Yunfang still had his back to the arrow, and his main focus was on Xu Jingming.
"Hmm?" Lei Yunfang sensed a slight abnormal vibration in the wind. This time, the vibration was different, causing his expression to change slightly, and he turned his head sharply.
With this turn, he saw a blurry arrow shadow already within ten meters.
Too fast!
Lei Yunfang's eyes widened, and almost impossibly, his body moved horizontally.
"Whoosh." The arrow grazed past.
It only grazed Lei Yunfang's waist, tearing a few pieces of his robe, but the speed of the arrow and the force of the wind were like a knife, and since Lei Yunfang wasn't wearing any armor, a piece of flesh was torn, and blood splattered.
...
"Lei Yunfang is injured!"
"Wang Yi's arrow injured Lei Yunfang!"
The countless spectators, who had previously thought the situation was certain, were all in shock. Wang Yi's arrows had seemed like toys, unable to touch Lei Yunfang. But this time, the arrow's speed was clearly much faster, and Lei Yunfang, still with his back to the arrow, was a step too slow when he noticed it.
"The virtual world display shows that this arrow reached a maximum speed of 612 meters per second. Previously, Wang Yi's arrows were at most around 460 meters per second," the male commentator, Jin Fan, pointed to the speed displayed by the virtual world system.
"Wang Yi has broken through!" the female commentator, Ju Wenqing, was overjoyed.
"Teacher Lei Yunfang is in trouble!" the host, Liu Xin, said.
...
At this moment, Xu Hong's couple, Li Chen'an's couple, Old Xu, Li Miaomiao, and many relatives and friends, including the eliminated Heng Fang and Liu Chongyuan, were all excitedly watching.
"What the hell?" Cheng Zihao, Sun Li, and others found it hard to believe that the situation could be reversed.
"Go, Master!" Pang Yun and his classmates cheered excitedly from the stands.
...
The moment Lei Yunfang was injured, he took a step and instantly turned into a green shadow, rushing towards Wang Yi on the distant rooftop.
"This Wang Yi has actually broken through!" Lei Yunfang felt the impact of his injury, which slowed him down to about 90% of his original speed, but he still burst forth with all his strength.
Xu Jingming had been almost overwhelmed, purely relying on instinct to barely defend himself. Suddenly, Lei Yunfang was injured and abandoned him to rush towards Wang Yi. Xu Jingming immediately felt relieved but also understood that he must seize the opportunity.
"I can't waste the chance created by Sister Yi." Xu Jingming took a step and burst forth with all his speed, turning into a blurry dark red shadow, chasing after Lei Yunfang.
Even at his peak, Lei Yunfang would need about a second to cover the sixty meters without any interference.
Wang Yi stood on the rooftop, not moving, with an arrow already nocked, pointing at Lei Yunfang, watching the green shadow approach.
"Charge!"
Lei Yunfang's expression was fierce. Xu Jingming, who was chasing from behind, seemed slightly slower. But if he stopped or dodged, Xu Jingming would catch up, and the spear would strike.
In the current situation, he was not suitable for a direct confrontation with Xu Jingming.
He had to eliminate the archer first.
"This is the moment."
When the distance closed to thirty meters, Wang Yi suddenly drew the bow to its limit and instantly released the arrow.
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows!
Wang Yi let the opponent charge without dodging, focusing all her energy on her bow and arrows, and in a split second, she shot three arrows in succession. As the distance closed, each arrow became more threatening.
Lei Yunfang, holding dual swords, had no choice but to dodge with Xu Jingming chasing from behind. He slightly changed direction and swung his swords to block the arrows.
The first arrow was relatively easy to block.
The second arrow was a close call.
The third arrow was already within ten meters. Even before her breakthrough, Wang Yi's arrow at such close range was very threatening. At this moment, the terrifying arrow, at such close range, could only be blocked by instinct.
"Boom." He felt a shock in his abdomen, and his sword missed! He failed to block it.
"Die!" Lei Yunfang knew it was bad and still forced a swing of his sword. The sword flashed, and a red mark appeared on Wang Yi's body, which began to turn ethereal.
Wang Yi, however, smiled.
At her speed, if she chose to run, she would be caught and killed by Lei Yunfang.
Not running and shooting arrows with all her might gave her a chance to kill him.
"Not bad... a one-for-one trade!" Wang Yi's body turned ethereal, looking at the large hole in Lei Yunfang's abdomen.
Lei Yunfang stopped, looking down at the hole in his abdomen. The arrow had completely penetrated his abdomen, tearing a fist-sized hole, and blood gushed out. Such a terrifying wound made Lei Yunfang stop struggling, and he turned to look at the approaching Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming also stopped, holding his spear and looking at Lei Yunfang.
"I lost." Lei Yunfang looked at Xu Jingming, his emotions complex. "I didn't expect to lose to you kids."
"Sister Yi and I worked together to win by a stroke of luck." Xu Jingming said. After their previous confrontation, he clearly understood the gap between himself and Senior Lei Yunfang. The pressure he felt when the other was giving his all was immense.
"Losing is losing, after all, this is a team competition." Lei Yunfang looked at Xu Jingming. "But you two kids, working together to defeat me, must also give Liu Hai a hard time."
"Definitely." Xu Jingming nodded.
Lei Yunfang's abdominal wound was bleeding too fast, and his body turned ethereal, finally dissipating and leaving this world.
"Did we actually win?" Xu Jingming couldn't quite believe it. On his own, he couldn't have defeated Lei Yunfang. But with Sister Yi's breakthrough, their combined power greatly increased.
As Lei Yunfang disappeared, the rain in the small town stopped, and the sun appeared in the sky, shining on the rain-soaked town, making it beautiful, and a rainbow appeared.
Xu Jingming looked at Yang Qingshuo, who was also standing on the rooftop, and both of them smiled.
They had finally won the semifinal!
They could now advance to the final and face Master Liu Hai's team in the ultimate showdown.
"Wow."
The small town collapsed before their eyes, and Xu Jingming and Yang Qingshuo turned ethereal, returning to the battle space.
...
"Let's congratulate the Li Mu team for winning this semifinal. They will face Liu Hai's team in the final," the host, Liu Xin, said excitedly. "And here's another piece of news: the Li Mu team is the only team in this Fire Seed Cup to have two third-stage experts."
