The Five Elders' pupils had already shrunk to pinpoints the instant the arrow was fired. An overwhelming sense of danger wrapped around his heart, frantically warning his mind and body to flee at once.
Unlike the previous attacks, the moment this strike was launched, the Five Elder recognized its terror.
He possessed speed he took great pride in. No matter how powerful an attack was, he could evade it with ease in his eyes.
Even when fighting Kizaru, he had steadily suppressed his opponent with his extreme speed and formidable martial arts, forcing Kizaru to flee about and continuously harass him with long-range attacks.
