"You are quite good, I give that to you" Bone arrows said arrogantly as though he was praising one of his disciples.
"But against me you are bound to lose!" He pulled the bow strings once again, and abruptly rays of golden light began to gather around the bow, in a matter of seconds the rays had converged into a beam of golden light.
"Swish!"
Bone arrows released the bow strings and the beam tore through the air, it felt like a hot knife slicing through butter as it shuttled in air towards Lee.
At the moment when it was just few breaths from reaching Lee, the beam of golden light suddenly shattered into dozens of fragments, and each of this fragments were shaped like arrows, they scattered in the air randomly like gas released from a container but if one stared careful one would notice that the fragments were stealthily surrounding Lee in an orderly manner like some sort of formation.
Before any one could blink their eyes twice, the vision of the figure of Lee they saw, had been replaced with a formation of fragments of golden light.
"A formation master!"
"No wonder he was so arrogant"
"This is the end of the road for Blue, I had my hopes on him"
"You fools, he is yet to become a formation master, he lacks mental energy, he's making use of his connection with the arrows to gather them into a formation, such a genius" A middle aged man sighed in admiration as he said, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn towards him, when everyone saw who it was they didn't dare argue, those that didn't even know his identity didn't utter any word becuase they could sense from his aura that he was a Ring Cultivator!
"So that's how it is" This was the thought that crossed through the hearts of many of the audience, many began to stare at Bone arrows in admiration.
Lee had sensed something strange about the beam, but never had he imagined that it was a formation, from his knowledge only cultivators who possessed the ability to learn formation, even with him possessing mental energy, he could still not unleash it as his mental energy was simply too weak to set a formation.
He had first thought Bone arrows had practiced mental energy to a very high stage for him to be able to set a formation, he was at the point of giving up, when he suddenly discovered that he couldn't sense any form of mental energy.
"I guess I overestimated him" Lee sighed in relief, though the formation looked complete as though it had no flaw, it was lacking the major factor;mental energy, without this it was more like an army without a commander.
"You have the chance to give up now!" Bone arrows chuckled with confidence imprinted in his voice, he definetly didn't posses mental energy not to talk of the strength to set a real formation, he had just made use of some sort of technique practiced in his family.
He was pretty confident that Lee could definetly not see through the mysteries behind the formation, he confidently believed a fourth stage cultivator could not possess mental energy not to talk of sensing it and deducing the flaw in the formation.
But Lee wasn't any ordinary fourth stage cultivator.
Lee closed his eyes as he held Blueflame, no one could see this action as he had a mask on and was also covered by a cloud of golden fragments.
Everything seemed long, but all of this occurred in few breaths, the moment he pulled the bow till this present seconds was very short.
"Hmmph!.. Since you have a death wish, i would help you fulfill this" Bone arrows snorted in anger seeing that Lee didn't reply him. He began to form seals which made the fragments suddenly begin to vibrate, and from the looks of it, it seems he was about to activate the formation.
Emotions began to stir in the crowd, seeing that Lee had refused to reply, it was obvious that he was not ready to give up, this made them exicted of what would be the outcome of the clash, if Lee would win just like he did with Iron fist or would he lose.
"Go!" Bone arrows screamed and then the golden fragments shaped like arrows darted from all around towards Lee. As soon as he activated the formation, his face became pale devoid of blood, the attack drained alot of his Spirtual energy, the formation was one of his trump card, he had seen Lee battle and was very cautious of Lee getting too close to him, so he had no choice but to use one of his trump cards.
Lee breathed lightly and then he shut all of his six senses, all he could sense was his sword and the golden fragments dashing towards him.
"swish!"
"swish!"
"swish!"
"swish!"
The fragments darted towards Lee like flies and in response Lee swung his sword and Blueflame screamed in the air, and flashes of blue lights filled the air.
"Bang!"
Several collision sounds erupted as Blueflame clashed with the fragments, one slash and dozens of golden fragments would be shattered.
The hearts of the audience felt as if it was about to pop out of their mouths that was left ajar, the suspense was really great, they couldn't see Lee, all they could see was flashes of blue light in the middle of the cloud of golden fragments.
"Senior brother Six, do you think he would be able to win" An anxious voice that carried warmth in it suddenly spoke.
"Junior sister eight, he possess mental energy, so in matter of stamina he would not lose out, that chap controlling the fragments would soon be exhausted of spiritual energy and so the match is a done deal" A rather indifferent voice spoke with no wave of emotion in it.
"But if his going to win this way, even though his essence sword is very rare and he also possesss mental energy at his stage which is also quite rare, it is not something that you and I have not seen before. Unless he does something extraordinary, then with this I can only say he is not qualified" The indifferent voice sighed as he spoke once again. If Lee or anyone in Vine City heard how he has spoken, they would be shocked stiff at how casual he has regarded Lee's achievement, which in Vine city was the cream of the crop.
ARROGANT!
OVERBEARING!
This conversation was between two ordinary looking middle aged man and a young beautiful woman who sat amidst the anxious crowd, so calm and serene as though none of the events concerned them. The middle aged man had thick eyebrows, his gaze were like stars so deep and profound.
The young lady looked so tender and meek, in contrast to the profound middle aged man, she seemed so gentle and innocuous like a leaf that was gently blown by wind.
"Young man don't dissspoint me" The beautiful woman said as she clenched her tender fist and stared at the cloud as though she could directly see Lee's face.
