Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Hehe, they have to ask themselves. If not, then this old man will have to look at this Yu Dayong with high regard." Shangguan Tianhua said with a smile.

"Ah? He's such a coward, Grandpa, you still think too highly of him?" Shangguan LAN 'er couldn't help but ask in surprise. Although she was happy that Yu Dayong surrendered, it was all because of Lin Yi. Normally, she would look down on such a spineless person.

"Oh? He's a coward, but in other words, he's smart. Yu Dayong saw it clearly-although they're both early golden core, he's no match for Lin Yi. Rather than taking a meaningless risk, it's better to admit defeat. It's a kind of wisdom and courage. " Shangguan Tianhua commented.

"This is considered wisdom and courage? I really don't understand." Shangguan LAN 'er stuck out her tongue in an adorable manner.

Shangguan Tianhua chuckled and didn't say anything else. People like Yu Dayong would never be able to reach Lin Yi's level, but that didn't mean they were useless.

People like him who knew when to retreat and when to advance were rare talents as well. They weren't as brilliant as Lin Yi, but there were many things that were safer and more reliable for them to do.

Of course, this had already involved the use of people, which was not something a little girl like Shangguan LAN 'er could understand. Shangguan Tianhua would naturally not waste his time playing the zither to a cow.

There were a total of 100 matches in the first round of the inner sect's one-on-one battles. All of them had to be finished within a day to determine the top 100. If it was just one match after another, it would be impossible to finish even if they fought non-stop until the next morning. Therefore, the first round of the one-on-one battles would be conducted at the same time.

On the North Island Arena, other than Lin Yi's arena, there were four other backup arenas. There were five matches going on at the same time. Lin Yi's arena was undoubtedly the first to finish, while the other four arenas were in full swing.

Among the four matches that would be held at the same time, Huang xiaotao happened to be in one of them.

At this time, the opponent she was facing was also a newly advanced outer sect disciple of the early jiedan stage. His name was Wu bufan, but he was not from the GreenCloud Pavilion, but the Xuanji Pavilion.

The luck of this draw was already quite good. Looking at the whole scene, the early jiedan stage was the lowest existence, and the other party was a new jiedan stage outer sect disciple, so his strength should be at the bottom.

However, this Wu bufan was, after all, a disciple of the mysterious Pavilion. He was also an early jiedan stage expert. His experience was much more experienced than Yu Dayong of the GreenCloud Pavilion. Under the premise of the same strength, experience could play a key role in a battle, enough to affect the outcome.

These people were all old foxes. Even if there was only a 5% chance, they would try their best to turn it into a 10% chance or even more. They would never admit defeat like Yu Dayong, not to mention that he was facing Huang xiaotao, not the famous newcomer King Lin Yi!

In terms of experience, Huang xiaotao was also a newly advanced early golden core expert. Moreover, she was an outer disciple of the GreenCloud Pavilion with a weak Foundation. In terms of experience, Wu bufan, a disciple of the mysterious Pavilion, had a higher chance of winning.

The two sides got into formation on the stage. Wu bufan originally had some fear of Huang xiaotao, but when he saw Huang xiaotao draw her bow and arrow, he suddenly smiled.

This wasn't the deep mountains or forests, this was the arena. There was no cover within a radius of a thousand feet, and it was even a one-on-one. If he used a weapon like a bow and arrow on such an occasion, an expert of the same level would be able to easily avoid it. Wouldn't that be a joke?

After the judge gave the order, Huang xiaotao's figure began to gradually blur, but she couldn't completely disappear. Wu bufan suddenly laughed even more happily.

He could tell that this was clearly a concealment martial skill. However, in this kind of situation where there was no cover or obstruction, it was unable to display its full effect. It could only make the figure slightly blurry. What the hell was the use!

"I'll give you a kind advice. This Junior Sister from the GreenCloud Pavilion should quickly admit defeat. Your martial skill and weapon are simply a disgrace in the arena. It's better for you to be tactful and leave the arena yourself, so as to avoid getting injured for nothing. " Wu bufan said like an old man.

If the odds were originally 60 - 40, then after Huang xiaotao revealed her martial arts technique and weapon, it was now 80 - 20, or even 90 - 10!

He, Wu bufan, was almost certain to win the first battle today.

"I appreciate your kind intentions, but I still want to try." Under the veil, Huang xiaotao's voice was neither warm nor angry.

Huang xiaotao didn't expect to get a good ranking when Lin Yi suddenly dragged her into the inner sect competition this time. As long as she could help Lin Yi in the two-on-two battle, she would be satisfied.

However, this didn't mean that she didn't have the slightest desire to improve in the individual battles. She was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Her personality had never been weak. Even if she didn't have high hopes for a ranking, she would definitely give it her all.

"Tsk, tsk. The youngsters these days just don't know how to appreciate favors." Wu bufan shook his head and sneered,""Fine, I'll let you understand today that this arena is not a place for an ignorant woman like you!"

After saying that, Wu bufan suddenly made a move. However, Huang xiaotao's movement was faster than his. Before he could do anything, a black arrow had already whizzed toward him. The speed was far beyond his imagination!

Huang xiaotao's arrow speed was already extremely fast, and now that she was an early golden core, it was naturally extraordinary. Especially in the past two days, Lin Yi had taken the time to teach her the technique of pure energy spurting. The Arrow's speed had basically reached the limit of the bow in her hand, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to react in time.

Fortunately, they were standing quite far away from each other at the beginning, so Wu bufan could barely react and avoid the first arrow. Even so, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If he wasn't careful, this arrow would really kill his throat!

In the ring, life and death did not matter. If Huang xiaotao really killed him with just one arrow, not only would she not have to bear any responsibility, but she would also be looked up to by others.

This time, Wu bufan did not dare to take it lightly. After dodging the first arrow, he quickly took advantage of the gap and pounced on Huang xiaotao. It was common knowledge that archers were not good at close combat. As long as he could get close, Huang xiaotao would still lose without a doubt.

However, Huang xiaotao obviously would not let him have his way so easily. Distance was an Archer's lifeline. She understood this more than anyone else. In her countless jungle adventures in the past, there were several times when she was almost caught by spirit beasts. In this regard, she could be said to be a veteran.

As Huang xiaotao moved quickly, she would shoot an arrow from time to time to block Wu bufan's path! (To be continued.)
