Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

ding ding ding...

The sword light, so fast it was just a blur, easily deflected all the arrows. Cheng Ling Shuang held the scabbard in one hand and the longsword in the other.

"...Uncle-Master, don't be lazy about this kind of thing. These arrows won't hurt anyone."

Cheng Ling Shuang spoke in a very calm tone, regarding this barrage of arrows as nothing more than a drizzle. This made Li Ming look listless. "No, Ling Shuang, you're being too boring. You can't just not complain because their arrows don't hurt you. Otherwise, they'll never know how to correct this shortcoming."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ling Shuang sheathed her sword and instead sat down next to Li Ming, hiding herself behind the Sunfire Greatsword. The subsequent rain of arrows was no longer deflected, but instead struck the Sunfire Greatsword precisely, the dense sound like raindrops.

"...Is that so, Martial Uncle?" Cheng Ling Shuang tilted her head and glanced at Li Ming. "...But they really can't hurt you. On the contrary, you've blocked them."

Li Ming fell silent immediately, mainly because several arrows had broken off and their arrowheads had struck his face.

Because of the armor, his face wasn't even scratched; instead, sparks flew from the phase-transition shield of the armor.

"...Look at my uncle, he can't even scratch your face!"

Cheng Ling Shuang's tone was exactly the same as Lin Chao Yu's, and she also had that inherent "three no's" attribute. Once she started complaining, her little mouth was like it was coated with poison, and she kept babbling on and on.

"Alright, shut up. Stop mimicking your senior sister."

Li Ming was speechless for a moment, so he could only rummage through his pockets and stuff a piece of dry food into Cheng Ling Shuang's mouth. "Alright, this is none of our business. Let's see how your senior sister deals with them. Hey, hey, hey, where did you shoot all those arrows? None of those guys were hit! Those guys were only seven hundred paces away from us!"

The second half of the sentence was shouted at Liu Shuimiao below.

"Everyone, launch at an upward angle, five hundred paces, release!"

After the first volley of arrows, Liu Shuimiao quickly adjusted his aim. After being teased by Li Ming, Liu Shuimiao stopped slacking off and drew his bow to shoot into the sky.

Because it's an upward-angled projectile, a distance of 500 paces is quite simple. Just shoot towards the sky, and the hit rate depends entirely on the density of the firepower.

However, Li Ming and his group were not from a legitimate organization. The reason they were able to collect so many arrows was because most of the arrow shafts were just reeds that they broke off at random, and some were just wooden branches from the roadside. The only valuable ones were the arrowheads.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. We should have captured about a hundred. Two hundred paces left. Prepare to engage the enemy. Damn it, a sneak attack!"

When Li Ming was still commanding from that big tree, an arrow came straight at his face. But like the others, the arrow struck the phase-shifting shield, broke off, and the recoil made Li Ming react immediately. "Hey, Lao Liu, see that guy with the red tassel, red headscarf, and black cloth? Take him down, and there will be a big reward!"

The man with the red tassel and red turban below put down his bow, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and wondered if he had just seen wrong. What happened? Why did his arrow break?

Yan Chengying didn't care; there was no need for him to go out alone at a time like this. But Zhao Lianping called out, "Hey, Boss Li, how much is the reward?"

"I'll reward you with a hundred gold pieces. If you want to have the tip of your spear inlaid with gold, that's not out of the question."

"Can I add a cannon to my steel gun?"

Zhao Lianping's mind raced, and he naturally thought of the benefits. What use was that golden spearhead? Gold, silver, and valuables were no joke, so why not add some ingredients to his steel spear?

Hey, what an idea!

Li Ming smiled and squatted down. "If you want, it's not impossible!"

"Hehe, then I'll be right back, Boss Li!"

Zhao Lianping picked up his steel spear and charged forward. Yan Chengying sighed, "Everyone, proceed cautiously! Swordsmen and shieldmen in front, spearmen behind, and archers unleash a hail of arrows!"

"Yes!"

Unlike Zhao Lianping's short steel spear, this spearman's spear had a real three-meter-long shaft, thin at the front and thick at the back. It was obvious that it was placed behind the swordsman and shieldman. Yan Chengying was not going to be foolish, so he just watched Li Ming keep order and let Zhao Lianping take the lead.
