Chapter 114 Backlash

114 Backlash

Gu Jian clenched his right fist, cracking his knuckles.

Gu Yuan’s appointment was given by the soldiers. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they naturally could not change people casually.

However, if Gu Yuan was accidentally injured and could no longer dance with his bow and sword, he would naturally not be able to do the job of the Divine Arms Battalion.

At that time, as Gu Yuan’s uncle, he would take the initiative to ask for a replacement from the Ministry of War and go to the Divine Arms Battalion to “deal with it”. This matter would be 80 to 90% successful. After all, Murong Yong was a lower-cla.s.s fifth-grade general like Gu Yuan and was also in the Divine Arms Battalion.

It was not easy to be promoted in the military. One had to rely on military merit, but transferring was not so difficult. As long as both parties were willing and the higher-ups turned a blind eye, the matter would be settled.

Gu Jian’s lips moved slightly as he muttered to himself, “This is for the Gu family.”

Because of Gu Ce’s mistake, the Gu family had almost been destroyed. This was what the eldest branch owed the Gu family.

Gu Jian repeated silently. It was unknown if this sentence was meant for him or for someone who was not here.

Gu Yuan, who was in front, was focused on this arrow.

When the bowstring was pulled to the limit, Gu Yuan also felt a little strained and tensed up.

His body seemed to be one with the bow and arrow. His instincts as a martial artist told him that the bowstring was about to break…

But—

The arrow was already nocked.

If he released the arrow like this, the moment the arrow was fired, the string would break. If the power acc.u.mulated in the bow could not be fully used on the arrow, it would definitely reflect back to the person holding the bow.

The power acc.u.mulated by the five-stone bow was equivalent to 300 pounds. This force was enough to hurt the muscles and bones in his shoulders and arms. Moreover, the broken bowstring was like a sharp sword that would cut his hand…

Now, even if he wanted to retract the bowstring, it was also too late.

The bowstring had been pulled to the limit, as if a person was walking on a wire high in the sky. As long as he deviated slightly, the original balance would be broken.

In other words, the string would also break.

Worse, he couldn’t stay in this position forever, not moving…

More beads of sweat could be seen on Gu Yuan’s wheat-colored forehead. Even the lines of his neck were stretched to the limit.

A line of cold sweat slowly trickled down Gu Yuan’s cheek. The small drop of sweat dripped down his chin and fell towards the bowstring…

At this moment, time seemed to slow down infinitely.

Suddenly, on Gu Yuan’s forehead, a faint white light emitted from the spot where Gu Yanfei had drawn the talisman.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the specks of white light were not obvious.

The white light quickly flowed from his forehead to his right hand that was pulling the bowstring, and then from his fingertips to the entire bowstring. The bowstring glowed slightly, and light overflowed…

Gu Yuan’s eyes widened slightly. He felt as if a subtle electric current was flowing between his fingertips and the bowstring. A spiritual intuition was telling him to shoot.

In the next moment, the bowstring was released from his fingers. The arrow left the bow at the same time, making a sharp sound.

The tip of the third arrow still firmly hit the bullseye of the target and even split the shaft of the second arrow in half from the end.

“Smash!”

The teacup in Gu Jian’s hand slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

The teacup shattered into pieces. Hot tea and scattered porcelain shards flew in all directions, splattering his shoes and his robe, and even a fragment of porcelain scratched the back of his hand, leaving an inch-long trail of blood.

The floor was a mess, with tea scattered all over.

“…” Gu Jian was dumbfounded and could not believe his eyes. How was this possible?!

The effect of the amulet she had drawn for her eldest brother was naturally extraordinary. Gu Yanfei glanced at Gu Jian with a faint smile. She took a candy from Gu Yuan’s pouch and stuffed it into her mouth, the corners of her lips curling up.

Oh, how sweet!

As for Gu Yuan, he did not notice the commotion on Gu Jian’s side at all.

He heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with one hand. He thought to himself that he was really lucky not to have broken the bow. Otherwise, he would have embarra.s.sed himself in front of his sister just now.

In the next moment, Gu Yuan hurriedly looked at Gu Yanfei. His sparkling phoenix eyes were just short of the words, “Big Brother is great, right?”

“Big Brother, you’re amazing!” Gu Yanfei smiled and clapped again. The applause was crisp and warm, congratulating Gu Yuan for hitting the bullseye.
