Borisin Lin Yuan swung his battle blade down heavily, the violent force tearing a jagged crack in the ground. But Lin Yuan didn't take the opportunity to create too much distance; instead, he circled around to the right of his opponent, instantly drawing his Imperial Bow, and a blue-green arrow shot straight towards the already injured thigh.

Captain Borisin was clearly aware of his target and tried to twist his body to avoid it. Although Moon Rage allowed him to temporarily ignore the pain, it couldn't change the fact that his leg had been pierced by the Imperial Bow. With the slightest movement, the wound reopened, and his steps inevitably slowed for a moment. The arrow grazed the outside of his thigh, leaving a second deep bloodstain, and his already severely injured right leg became even more stiff.

At the same time, Qian Renxue also saw through Lin Yuan's plan. She didn't try to confront Borisin in his Moon Rage state head-on, but instead used the speed brought by the Six-Winged Angel to circle around to the other side, her golden longsword slashing repeatedly at his lower body. Captain Borisin roared and swung his sword to block, deflecting several swords in succession, but Qian Renxue didn't entangle with him at all. After each exchange, she immediately created space, and her next attack was still aimed at that already riddled-with-holes injured leg.

"You two bastards!" Captain Borisin quickly realized the two men's intentions, his blood-red eyes almost spitting fire. He had already activated Moon Rage, and his physical strength was far greater than before, but the two young men in front of him did not give him a chance to exert his strength at all. They relentlessly attacked the injured leg from the left and right, showing no intention of a direct confrontation between strong individuals.

Hearing his angry curses, Lin Yuan did not hesitate for a moment. Imperial Bow fired two arrows in quick succession, one blocking the retreating position of the Borisin captain, and the other skimming the ground and shooting at his right knee again. There is no need to talk about fairness when dealing with enemies. Now that the weakness has been discovered, we should continue to fight until the opponent is completely incapacitated.

Captain Borisin forcefully raised his leg to dodge the arrow, but Qian Renxue had already approached from the other side. The golden longsword did not strike his body, but instead struck the side of his right leg. Divine Soul Power erupted, and his entire leg suddenly twisted to the side, and the injuries that had been suppressed by Moon Rage finally broke out completely.

The bones could no longer withstand the continuous impact.

Borisin swayed violently, his right knee buckling uncontrollably. He immediately braced himself with his sword, trying to regain his footing, but Lin Yuan gave him no chance to adjust. Another arrow struck precisely near his ankle. The impact of the exploding arrow completely ripped his leg off, and he finally lost his balance, his burly body crashing to his knees.

"Now!"

As soon as Lin Yuan's voice rang out, Qian Renxue rushed in front of Captain Borisin. The holy light of the Six-Winged Angel erupted in full force, and the golden longsword slashed down repeatedly, giving the opponent no chance to get up again. Captain Borisin could only kneel on one knee and swing his sword to defend. The power brought by Moon Rage was still formidable, but once unable to move, even the strongest power could only be trapped in place.

The sounds of clashing swords rang out continuously. Qian Renxue did not seek to decide the outcome with a single strike, but instead suppressed his sword with maximum speed. Captain Borisin blocked more than ten attacks in succession, and his right hand holding the sword began to tremble. He wanted to force Qian Renxue back with his strength, but every time he was about to unleash his power, Lin Yuan would shoot an arrow from afar, forcing him to return to defense.

High in the valley, Lin Yuan had already drawn the Imperial Bow to its full extent.

The sounds of battle around him seemed to fade away at that moment, and his attention was focused entirely on the captain of the Borisin. Azure-blue Soul Power continuously flowed into the arrow, which was not aimed at the head or the crippled right leg, but was firmly locked onto the center of the chest.

Sensing the sharp aura behind her, Qian Renxue immediately realized that Lin Yuan was ready. She suddenly changed her sword stance, unfurling all six wings at the same time, and used the force of her dive to crash head-on into Captain Borisin's arms. Her golden longsword slashed fiercely at the battle blade, forcibly pressing his right arm to the side, instantly exposing his chest.

The bowstring vibrates.

Blue-green arrows crisscrossed the battlefield.

Captain Borisin's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively wanted to swing his sword to defend, but Qian Renxue's longsword was still pressing down on his arm. The next instant, the arrow had already pierced through his chest, and the sharp Power of The Hunt tore through flesh without any hindrance, exiting from his back.

The arrow pierced right through the heart.

Captain Borisin's body stiffened abruptly, and the violent aura brought by the Moon Rage state rapidly weakened. He looked down at the ever-expanding blood hole in his chest, and the Abundance power within his body frantically converged towards his heart, attempting to repair the pierced organ. However, the blue-green light had already penetrated deep into the flesh along the wound, and no matter how much new tissue grew, it could not fill the gap again.

His lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only spat out a mouthful of blood. As Moon Rage completely dissipated, his swollen body gradually returned to its original size, and the battle sword slipped from his hand. The lifeless body fell forward, crashing heavily onto the broken ground.

Lin Yuan slowly lowered the Imperial Bow, not lingering his gaze on the corpse. The battle on the other side was also nearing its end. The remaining Borisin were even more powerless to resist after losing their captain, Spirit Hall's Soul Master quickly dealt with them all. Only the deputy who had been following the captain was still alive, and was dragged out from under the rubble by two Soul Master.

The deputy's chest was caved in, and one of his arms was broken, but he managed to stay alive thanks to his Abundance strength. He seemed to want to struggle, but the Spirit Hall's Soul Master quickly broke his legs and bound his limbs tightly with chains.

Lin Yuan walked up to him, examined him briefly, and, confirming that the man wasn't dead for the time being, said, "Take this man away. Examine all the other corpses, and bring back anything you can find. The nearby branch halls should have received the message by now; we'll stay there tonight and question him properly once he wakes up."

Several hours later, the Spirit Hall Branch closest to the Star Dou Great Forest was completely sealed off. In the deepest part of the underground prison, in a cell specifically for serious Soul Master criminals, Bu Borisin's deputy slowly regained consciousness.

Intense pain quickly spread throughout his body. He instinctively tried to move, only to find that his hands and feet were firmly chained to the wall. To make matters worse, two special metal buckles had pierced through his shoulders, locking his collarbones tightly. Every time he tried to exert force, the buckles would pull on the wounds, causing the strength he had just gathered to instantly dissipate.

His Remembrance gradually returned.

valley.

ambush.

The fallen comrades.

And there was that boy holding a blue-green longbow.

Borisin's deputy suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the front of the cell. The dim firelight illuminated the stone wall and also revealed a figure sitting quietly on a wooden chair. Lin Yuan had his hands folded in front of him, clearly having been waiting there for quite some time.

Their eyes met in the dimly lit cell.

Lin Yuan looked at the prisoners who had finally awakened, his tone devoid of any emotion. " Borisin, the retinue of Abundance. I've always been curious about one thing. You clearly don't belong to this world, and you don't have ships capable of traversing the starry seas, so how did you come to this continent?"

The cell fell silent again.

Borisin's deputy stared intently at Lin Yuan, his expression turning serious.
