Apart from the high-ranked experts, few on the opposing side could react.
By the time the soldiers farther back began raising their shields, the rain of arrows Zhou Cheng sent back had already ended.
The snow on the ground was stained with fresh blood, a shocking sight.
Qin Ye rolled out from beneath his horse's belly in a sorry state, his armor covered in muddy snow.
The black warhorse had been shot full of arrows like a hedgehog and crashed to the ground.
A rain of arrows like this naturally could not kill Qin Ye, an Upper Ninth Rank expert, but this feat left him utterly stunned.

He even began to wonder whether what he faced was human at all.
Across from him, Zhou Cheng had also grown tired of this farce.

Like a hundred rivers flowing into
