Chapter 894: Sharpshooter Jebe
Translator: Lordbluefire
Sun Mo hadn’t run far from the horse stable when he saw a group of students running anxiously over. He immediately dashed over to help them.
“Ziyu?”
Sun Mo was given a fright. He saw that there were two guys helping Mei Ziyu. Her teacher attire was tattered and covered in blood. She had clearly been through a tough battle.
“Teacher Sun!”
When the students saw Sun Mo, they immediately became spirited. Their anxious feelings dissipated a lot. After all, this teacher was well-known to be able to fight.
“What’s going on?”
Sun Mo carried Mei Ziyu, quickly took out lover protection medicine, and let her take a mouthful of it.
“Your sword.”
Mei Ziyu handed Evil Vanquisher to Sun Mo. “On the way, I encountered Wanyan Mei who was being attacked and I helped her out.”
“Teacher!”
Wanyan Mei lowered her head and greeted. She knew that without Mei Ziyu, she’d have been captured. Therefore, she was very thankful.
“You guys head to the horse stable first. Suolantu is waiting there!”
Sun Mo instructed.
Hearing that great teacher Suolantu was around, everyone immediately felt relieved.
“Who was the enemy? A star general?”
Sun Mo reckoned that it must be the work of a star general to be able to hurt Mei Ziyu to this degree.
“That’s right. It was a star general.”
Wanyan Mei had a conscience. She let the other students flee first while she stayed by Sun Mo’s side, helping out so that Mei Ziyu wouldn’t fall off from Sun Mo’s back.
“I can walk by myself.”
Mei Ziyu’s pale face flushed a little from embarra.s.sment when she felt her b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressing against Sun Mo’s back.
“No!”
Sun Mo rejected.
Every Starlord had several star generals under them. These star generals would either be their personal disciples or strong experts whom they had recruited. Regardless, they were very strong.
Great teachers’ main focus was on teaching and not fighting. Therefore, when they were up against these star generals, there was a higher chance that they’d lose.
Very soon, everyone gathered at the horse stable.
“Your Highness!”
Seeing that Wanyan Mei was fine, Suolantu heaved a great sigh of relief. If the princess was captured, it’d be a great mockery for them. Jin Country’s king would definitely bash the Dragon Subduing Academy badly.
“Stop the c.r.a.p. Get on the horses and let’s get away from here.”
Sun Mo urged. Mei Ziyu was seriously injured and couldn’t ride a horse by herself. Therefore, he carried her and got on a horse together with her.
“There are still people in the school!”
Helian Xue interjected.
Both him and Tuoba Cao were Sun Mo’s dorm mates. They were very smart and went to look for Wanyan Mei during the emergency.
If they managed to protect her, they’d definitely receive great rewards from the Jin Country’s king.
It was a pity that they were one step too late. Although most of Wanyan Mei’s guards died, they had been very loyal and hung on until Mei Ziyu arrived.
“I’ll go save the remaining people. You guys make a move first.”
After saying that, Suolantu looked toward Sun Mo and Duanmu Li. “Teachers, I’ll leave the princess in your hands.”
“Let’s go!”
Sun Mo urged, whipping the reins and charging off.
He had saved over 30 girls and had done what he could.
Amidst the sound of galloping hooves, everyone quickly followed after him.
When a few teams of black-clothed men heard the commotion, they dashed over to stop them. As they did so, longbows and crossbows were launched.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Arrows came flying out.
“Don’t slow down! Charge out of them!”
Sun Mo let out an explosive bellow, putting his arm toward Helian Xue. “Give me the bow and arrows!”
“Can you do it?”
Helian Xue, who was shooting suppressing shots to scare those black-clothed men away, frowned upon hearing that.
“Give me the bow and arrows!”
Sun Mo reproached. At a time like this, Helian Xue’s question was c.r.a.p talk.
“Trust Teacher Sun!”
Jiang Ji added.
Helian Xue pouted and tossed the longbow to Sun Mo. He then tugged off his quiver and handed it over as well.
“I’ll control the horse!”
Mei Ziyu took the reins with one hand while receiving the quiver with the other.
Sun Mo cut to the chase. He put out his hand and took out three feathered arrows with his fingers.
“…”
When Helian Xue saw this, he almost spurted out curses.
(We are on warhorses that are charging rapidly, and it is very b.u.mpy. It’s good enough for an ordinary person to be able to hit their targets with one arrow in this situation, but you’re trying to shoot three arrows at once? Do you think that you’re Sharpshooter Jebe[1]?)
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The three arrows shot out consecutively, covered in faint blue light that darted under the night sky like shooting stars. They moved extremely rapidly and when Helian Xue turned his head to check things out, he realized that one of the black-clothed men had been pierced in the head by three arrows and fell backward, dead.
“G.o.d!”
Helian Xue was astonished.
As a great teacher who enjoyed archery, he knew how difficult Sun Mo’s feat was.
“F*ck, he’s already so good in close combat, yet he is just as good in archery. How are others going to live like this?”
Helian Xue was speechless. If Sun Mo were to spend all his time practicing archery, he’d definitely earn the great reputation of Sharpshooter Jebe.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
The killing prowess of Sun Mo’s arrows was too great. Even if they didn’t hit their targets, they’d explode if they hit the ground, causing the black-clothed men’s battle formation to scatter.
Sun Mo’s group charged past them furiously.
A black-clothed man gave chase furiously, suddenly accelerating and leaping toward a girl in front, wanting to pull her off the horse. However, an arrow hit him on the back of his head.
“F*ck!”
Helian Xue was stunned because Sun Mo didn’t turn his head to shoot this arrow. He had only turned his hand to shoot from under his ribs, being very steady.
He then used the dark night as his cover to kill the enemy.
Wanyan Mei was amazed and her heart throbbed. Ladies in the plains loved men who were skilled in archery, horseback riding, and blade techniques.
And Sun Mo had all of those.
It was a pity that his appearance was too ordinary.
Wanyan Mei found this regretful.
Ding!
Congratulations, you’ve received +6,190 favorable impression points.
There weren’t many people in this escape group that Sun Mo led, but they contributed a lot of favorable impression points.
The black-clothed men didn’t have horses and thus gave up after giving chase for over 100 meters.
Sun Mo’s group then ran crazily for an hour before coming to a stop.
There was no helping it. Even if they could withstand the b.u.mpy ride, the warhorses needed to take a break. Otherwise, they’d die from fatigue.
“Are you feeling better?”
Sun Mo helped Mei Ziyu to lay down on a small slope, with her back against the rock.
“Your Highness, have some water!”
Helian Xue handed a water bag to Wanyan Mei.
“Thank you!”
Wanyan Mei took it from him but didn’t take a drink. Instead, she walked over to Mei Ziyu’s side and handed it to Sun Mo. “Teacher!”
“Thank you!”
Sun Mo didn’t stand on ceremony. He took the water bag and fed it to Mei Ziyu. After all, Mei Ziyu had gotten injured while trying to save Wanyan Mei.
“What should we do next?” someone asked.
“We should be safe now.”
Jiang Ji spoke up, “I think the Four Symbols Starlord is here for your school’s Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. Therefore, he won’t send out his men to chase us down.”
“That’s right. Tomorrow, Vice-headmaster Murong’s reinforcements should be back. Therefore, he only has one night to clear the Dragon Subduing Palace. Time is very tight.”
Duanmu Li agreed with Jiang Ji’s a.n.a.lysis.
“Teacher Sun, is there anything that you don’t know?” Tuoba Cao felt curious. “Your archery skills are really amazing.”
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Tuoba Cong +100. Friendly (610/1,000).
“It’s just an insignificant trick that isn’t worth mentioning.”
Sun Mo shook his head and couldn’t be bothered to discuss this topic. “Everyone, make good use of this time to rest. We’ll set off in 15 minutes.”
Sun Mo lay down next to Mei Ziyu and then casually tore up a piece of ancient ma.s.saging technique spirit rune.
Boom!
Spirit qi gushed and a ‘genie’ appeared, starting to give Sun Mo a ma.s.sage.
Under such a critical moment, it was unknown how many more tough battles they might have to take on. Therefore, Sun Mo wanted to quickly remove the fatigue built-up on his muscles and regain his spirit qi.
As for the rule of the examination that didn’t allow him to expose his ident.i.ty?
He couldn’t be bothered with it anymore.
“G.o.d!”
Everyone who had just lay down sat up again in surprise upon seeing this scene.
What the h.e.l.l was this muscular genie?
