Others only saw the outcome and deduced based on that. Lu Yuan had aimed at the bullseye from the beginning, so no one suspected him of any foul play.
Lu Qi was like someone eating bitter herbs in silence, unable to voice his grievances.
"How despicable!"
King Qi clenched his fists in frustration.
Prince Rui sighed, "A single misstep. If only I had thought to switch the target locations earlier."
But as things stood, it was already too late to change tactics.
The current strategy to break the deadlock was to create some distance from Lu Yuan or circle around to his outer flank.
Yet, as luck would have it, the black horse simply couldn't outrun Lu Yuan's white steed.
Despite being injured, the horse erupted with astonishing strength.
It seemed to understand Lu Yuan's every physical cue, executing each leap and acceleration with impeccable timing.
Lu Yuan released his third arrow.
This time, he didn't use any tricks against Lu Qi but shot the arrow properly.
