Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 139 This arrow pierced through the stars! (Seeking monthly votes)
Zhao Lei was the first to react.

He immediately burst into laughter at Li Jingsong, who was still in a daze, saying, "Old Li! What do you think?! Isn't my brother amazing?! I told you he's no ordinary person, right?! Hahahaha!"

Hearty laughter echoed.

Along with the sound of arrows piercing the air, the atmosphere at the archery range became exceptionally intense.

The composed figure in the center simply lowered the antique-style longbow in his hand.

This is by no means "somewhat knowledgeable".

He is a complete genius!

"Mr. Chen..."

"With your archery skills and strength, I feel you could try to join the national team."

Li Jinsong couldn't help but praise it.

While it's not quite a miraculous skill.

However, the effortless and carefree manner with which he drew a 140-pound longbow as if it were a rubber band still left a deep impression on him.

This is no longer just a hobby!
He has been practicing archery in Chengdu for many years and has seen many top archers from the provincial and national teams. In terms of the strength to draw a hard bow and this effortless control...

He paused, looking extremely serious.

He even added with a touch of academic scrutiny, "With a move like that, you could absolutely command respect on the national team's training ground. You'd be good enough to be a starter! If the provincial team coach saw this, he'd be driving up to your door the very next day!"

"you flatter me."

Chen Baiyu smiled.

Li Jinsong shook his head, a complex expression of admiration and the weariness of a hero on his face. He sighed, "The younger generation surpasses the older; you can't deny it! In the past, training for strength, controlling the center of gravity, and honing finger techniques took at least ten or eight years. Who dared to say they could handle this level of hard bow? Look at you young people now..."

"It's really the young people's world now. I'm getting old. When people talk about things from twenty years ago, I start thinking about the 1980s, but they're talking about 2005."

Done.

Li Jinsong's gaze unconsciously drifted back to the taut string of the antique-style longbow.

It was as if we were still savoring the breathtaking tension of the arc when Chen Baiyu instantly pulled it to a full moon.

As Chen Baiyu listened to Li Jingsong's heartfelt words, his expression remained calm, as if the water's surface remained undisturbed.

He even gave a slight, polite smile and waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Li, you flatter me. I just had a bit of luck and strength; it's really nothing special. I'm far from being a member of the national team."

His voice was not high.

His tone was gentle, yet something invisible seemed to gently push away the overly dazzling praise.

While talking.

He naturally lowered his left hand, which was holding the longbow, and the huge hardwood weapon felt as light as a feather in his hand.

He turned slightly to the side, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the area. It was as if he was looking for a place to put down his bow, or perhaps he wanted to bring this somewhat enthusiastic conversation to a close.

Zhao Lei grinned, about to chime in with a few more compliments about his brother.

At this moment——

In the distance, a faint but disorderly sound came from beside the bright floor-to-ceiling windows of the beginner area.

Chen Baiyu's seemingly casually scanning pupils instantly contracted like the most sophisticated detector!
Its powerful dynamic vision far exceeds human limits, accurately capturing and magnifying a tiny "accident" more than ten meters away!
It's Qi Yueyao!

Her small figure was jogging over from the water dispenser, carefully carrying two cans of chilled club-exclusive energy drinks in her hands.

It seems she wanted to give thanks to her second uncle who had always been there for her and the female coach who had patiently guided her.

Perhaps she was too excited about learning to draw a bow, and her attention was completely focused on the drink in her arms, or perhaps her sense of balance was already a little unstable after exercise.

The little girl's left toe unexpectedly tripped on the edge of a slightly raised rubber anti-slip mat!
"Hey?"

A short, soft gasp escaped her lips instinctively.

"careful!"

The female coach and her second uncle noticed something was wrong almost at the same time, and instinctively shouted out, leaning forward to help.

Fortunately.

Qi Yueyao staggered slightly, her body tilting as she took two unsteady steps.

Although the center of gravity shifted, the person did not actually fall.

Her negligible weight, combined with the cushioning of her soft sneakers, allowed her to stand firmly again with only her toes touching the ground.

however.

Just as she staggered to her feet and looked up, still shaken,

A real crisis suddenly descended upon her!
Right next to her running path was a temporary shelf piled with various newly purchased sports protective gear awaiting categorization.

The shelf was simply designed and not particularly sturdy, especially the top shelves, which were quite high. Just as Qi Yueyao tripped and swayed, her shoulder brushed against the lower support of the shelf!

This seemingly insignificant touch became a precisely suffocating fuse!

Like the first domino to be toppled!

A heavy black thermos flask, hanging more than a third of its length from the edge of the top shelf, was instantly disrupted by this sudden, minute external disturbance.

That was an extra-large stainless steel kettle specially customized by the club, filled with newly acquired sweat-absorbing wristbands; it was quite heavy.

At this moment, it is under the influence of gravity.

It fell silently and suddenly from the top shelf, more than three meters above the ground, with a kind of slow-motion malice!
The kettle tumbled clumsily in the air, its heavy stainless steel shell reflecting a cold, icy light under the lamp, directly above Qi Yueyao's unsuspecting head, who had just regained her footing and looked up blankly!
Time stood still at that moment.

It's as if someone pressed the slow-motion button!

The color drained completely from my second uncle's face in an instant!

The immense terror choked his shouts, and his lunging movements faltered.

The female coach reacted very quickly. She screamed and tried to reach out and pull Qi Yueyao away, but the distance and the suddenness of the situation meant that her outstretched arm was a step too late!
Several members near the shelf, and even the waiters a little further away, had just been drawn in by the screams, their faces filled with bewilderment.

And at the same time that all this was happening—

Chen Baiyu's location!

In the fraction of a second that Qi Yueyao stumbled and the shelf was bumped,

Chen Baiyu's powerful perception and observation skills have completed the entire process from "accidental discovery" to "instant lock-on" and then to "determination of a deadly threat"!

Within a hundredth of a second of that heavy thermos flask leaving the edge of the shelf and beginning to fall!

Chen Baiyu made a move!
Not a moment's hesitation! Not a single tenth of a second wasted!

The antique longbow that he had been holding lower in his left hand suddenly snapped up as if by an invisible spring, rising with lightning speed!
Nock an arrow?

Do not!
Almost at the same time he turned to face Qi Yueyao, his right hand, like a pre-programmed mechanical arm, precisely and swiftly drew a long arrow from the quiver beside him!
The bow was already half-drawn as it was being raised!

The movements were so fluid, swift, and smooth that they exceeded the limits of what the human eye could clearly perceive!

His body posture didn't even show any obvious signs of exerting force.

It's as if it were always meant to be this way!
We should have headed in that direction!

As the longbow was raised to a horizontal position, pointing towards the line where the debris had fallen, Chen Baiyu's core strength in his waist and back exploded in an instant!

The powerful bow arm of the antique-style longbow was like a tamed beast, instantly split open to a full moon by his left arm!
The terrifying pulling force of 140 pounds was compressed to its limit within his arm span!
The entire movement was so fast that only afterimages remained!

It was so fast that the air was torn apart with a sharp "whoosh!"
Li Jinsong and Zhao Lei were so close that they didn't even have time to change their expressions. Their pupils only had time to reflect the terrifying arc of the bowstring being taut to its limit in an instant!
The arrow is already on the bowstring!
The bow has been drawn to its limit!

Li Jinsong's exclamation only managed to form a tremor in his throat, and his vocal cords hadn't even had time to fully vibrate!

"Lie..."

Zhao Lei's gruff voice only managed to utter half a sentence!
“Buzz——!!!”

This arrow pierced through the stars!

A roar from the bowstring, far more explosive and soul-stirring than the previous target shooting, exploded like a real sonic bomb!
It drowned out all the unspoken exclamations!
The arrow is released from the bow!

No! That wasn't a shot being fired!
It felt like a bowstring compressing and detonating all the terrifying power it had accumulated, unleashing a destructive black light!

The arrow! It was incredibly fast!

Witnesses could only catch a blurry black blur tearing through the air, accompanied by a piercing, whistling sound that resembled a ghostly wail!

The air seemed to be brutally cleaved in the path of the arrow, leaving a vacuum mark that appeared and disappeared in an instant!
quick! allow! ruthless!
It carries an undeniable, destructive aura that severs cause and effect!
The thermos flask was falling, and its trajectory was clear.

The long arrow is like a judgment that transcends spatial boundaries, arriving first even though it is launched later!
"puff!"

A dull, yet powerful impact rang out! It wasn't the sound of something hitting a heavy object and exploding, but rather the sound of hard metal piercing and locking itself into something solid!

The arrow struck precisely where it was aimed!
Just as the thermos was less than half a meter from Qi Yueyao's hair, about to deliver a fatal blow to her fragile skull!
That long arrow, brimming with murderous intent.

Like the most precise scalpel, or the most ferocious battering ram, it pierced through the body of the stainless steel thermos with precision and brutality!

"Bang!!"

The pierced pot was propelled off its original trajectory by the terrifying kinetic energy carried by the arrow.
Like a tattered sack that had been violently flung away, it slammed into a sturdy partition wall less than two meters away from the shelf with a loud thud!

That's right, it's nailed to the wall!

The arrow pierced through the stainless steel outer layer, inner layer, internal buffer layer, and the wrist strap that was stuffed with it, and the entire arrowhead, along with a small part of the shaft, was deeply embedded in the wall!
The fletching at the end of the arrow trembled wildly from the immense impact, emitting a high-frequency, mournful "buzzing" sound, like the lingering tremor of rage after piercing the target!

The punctured thermos looked like a grotesque giant insect nailed to a specimen wall. The wall of the thermos was torn open, and the stainless steel fragments were slightly curled and turned outwards. The sweat-absorbing wrist strap inside had a hole in it and hung down messily.

It was firmly pinned to the ground, nearly a person's height, by that deadly arrow!
The whole process was as fast as lightning!
From discovering the accident and drawing the bow to shooting the arrow to the thermos being nailed to the wall, it only took two breaths.

The dull thud of the kettle hitting the wall and being driven into it, mixed with the lingering sound of the bowstring, exploded like a shockwave in the relatively quiet core area of ​​the club!

The members, coaches, and staff who were just engrossed in their own practice or watching others shoot arrows were all jolted awake by this sudden and impactful commotion!
Countless gazes, filled with bewilderment, astonishment, and horror, all focused in the same direction.

Looking at the thermos flask nailed to the wall.

And the terrifying, still slightly trembling arrow tail on the body of the pot!

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked in the direction from which the arrow had been shot, almost instinctively.

The camera finally focused on the young man in the center of the field, who was still in the posture of drawing his bow and shooting an arrow, the bow arm still seemed to be humming slightly, but his expression had returned to calm.

You can hear the needle drop!

The entire archery range seemed to be under a spell of collective silence, with only the faint sounds of bowstrings and arrows hitting targets coming from the distant public area reminding us that time was still passing.

Everyone gaped, their eyes widened like saucers, and their faces were filled with "WTF?!" expressions.

"Yao Yao!!"

A hoarse scream, broken in voice and filled with lingering fear, abruptly shattered the eerie silence!
He is Qi Yueyao's second uncle.

He practically scrambled to the scene of the incident and immediately confirmed that his niece was alright.

Qi Yueyao was still standing there dumbfounded, her hands still holding the drinks, but the two cans had fallen to the ground and rolled away.

Her delicate yet pale face had her mouth slightly open.

Looking at the spot where the shadow that had just swept overhead finally landed on the wall, I felt completely frozen, as if I had forgotten to breathe.

"Yaoyao! How are you? Did you get hurt anywhere?! You scared me to death! You scared your second uncle to death!"

My second uncle squatted down.

With trembling hands, he grabbed Qi Yueyao's forearm and examined her forehead, neck, shoulders, and especially her heart.

His movements were frantic and forceful, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat, and the back of his shirt was soaked.

"No...it's okay..."

Qi Yueyao seemed to finally regain some of her senses from her second uncle's shaking and shouting. She swallowed hard and gave a very weak reply.

"God..."

The female coach also rushed over, her face showing shock and relief, her voice trembling.

"Oh...you scared me to death! Qi Yueyao, please don't be nervous! Relax and breathe, inhale with me."

She quickly helped Qi Yueyao catch her breath, while glancing with awe at the "trophies" on the wall and Chen Baiyu in the distance, her gaze extremely complicated.

Li Jinsong seemed frozen in place by that astonishing arrow light.

With incredible difficulty, as if turning rusted gears, he stiffly twisted his head.

First, I looked at the wall with a hole nailed in it, and the thermos flask that looked like it had been nailed there as if it had been executed.

The lingering tremor of the arrow's fletching silently proclaimed the unimaginable penetrating power, precision, and ruthless force contained within that arrow!

then.

His gaze returned to the instigator.

Chen Baiyu was now completely relaxed. The antique-style longbow hung casually at his side. The five fingers of his right hand, which he had used to draw the bow, relaxed and then clenched again, as if he had just brushed away a speck of dust.

His handsome face, which carried a faint sense of aloofness, remained expressionless, without even a furrowed brow. His gaze was fixed on Qi Yueyao.

Having confirmed her location and safety, a barely perceptible ripple seemed to flicker in the depths of his gaze before it returned to its still depths.

All the exclamations, fears, and discussions around me seemed to become blurry noise in the background.
