The air vibrated with multiple shockwaves.
Whoooosh—
The arrow, darkened by an unknown presence, trembled violently beneath the pressure. It couldn’t move forward despite the weight pressing down from above.
A wave of energy rippled outward, spreading in a dark ring.
It was a strange occurrence.
The dark archery master, So Jeon-ju, had released the arrow only after accurately sensing the enemy’s presence just moments before the intrusion.
The Sungwang Arrow Technique was a traditional martial art that forbade shortcuts, and it was not to be confused with the martial arts of less disciplined sects.
It was a martial art based on patience. Releasing an arrow required great precision, a delicate and intricate skill.
‘How did they move...?’ So Jeon-ju’s eyes scanned the intruder, trying to grasp the truth of the situation.
Not only had the point of impact been anticipated, but even the precise moment of impact had been foreseen.
The arrow wasn’t lodged in the body or the legs, but it rested just beneath the feet—this was evidence of the intruder’s ability to harmonize their energy, which seemed to manipulate the very moment of action.
Had their movement altered the course of time itself?
