After a few breaths, he opened his eyes, and his mind was clear.
Under the fine and detailed observation of Divine Sense, he instantly discovered the Five Sword Sect’s disciples.
The possibility in his eyes was ninety percent.
Ninety percent certainty was enough for him.
If he wanted to take them down, he could easily do it now.
Because he did not sense the arrival of a Grandmaster.
Not even the arrival of a Fourth Grade.
Such strength was utterly insignificant to him.
However, directly capturing the Five Sword Sect’s people did not align with his plan.
"Let’s go, enter from the back!" Jiang Ning said, looking at the human wall blocking the front.
Xiao Ei and Hou Yingying saw this and quickly followed.
...
On a temporarily constructed high platform in the market.
"Master, Lord Jiang has arrived!" A person quickly ran beside Bai Luoyu and whispered.
Hearing this, Bai Luoyu was delighted.
He looked up at the high hanging sun above.
"Brother Jiang is truly punctual!" The thought flashed through his mind as he looked behind him.
Soon, he saw the figure of Jiang Ning appearing.
"Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu greeted Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning ascended the wooden steps.
Following behind him were Xiao Ei and Hou Yingying.
"Brother Bai, I’m not late, am I?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Not late!" Bai Luoyu smiled.
"Lord Jiang’s timing is impeccable!" The dark-skinned County Magistrate of Shishan County beside Bai Luoyu also spoke.
On the other side.
In the crowd below the platform.
Two people exchanged a glance discreetly.
One was slightly lean, and the other was burly.
These two were the elders from the Xu and Mu Families associated with the Five Sword Sect.
"This young Patrol Envoy has also arrived; what do you say?" One of them conveyed through sound transmission.
"I’ll go find Yang. When Yang releases the arrow, Brother Mu will take action!"
"Okay!" Elder Mu nodded subtly, discreetly observing the people on the platform amidst the crowd.
...
On the platform.
Two robust executioners were wiping their long knives, making final preparations for the beheading.
After greeting Bai Luoyu and the others, Jiang Ning walked towards the seats.
In the distance.
On a five-story building.
A man in a white robe slowly poured the liquid from a bottle onto his arrow.
As a drop of azure liquid slowly dripped from the bottle, it shimred with an eerie blue light under the sunlight, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the next mont.
The azure liquid dripped onto the cold gleaming arrowhead and quickly rged into it.
In the blink of an eye, that drop of liquid vanished without a trace.
After refining one arrow, he similarly prepared the other arrows.
"Yang!" At this mont, Elder Xu’s voice sounded from behind.
The man in the white robe turned, clutching a longbow and gripping his arrow.
"Elder Xu!" He turned his head and said.
"Yang, it’s ti to act!" Elder Xu spoke.
Continuing, "The mont Yang’s arrow pierces the sky, will be our signal to take action!"
"Alright!" Yang nodded slightly.
He gathered the remaining unrefined arrows and placed them into his arrow bag.
Overlooking the direction of the market from above.
His gaze instantly locked onto Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu.
"I’ve heard that Lord Jiang is a Martial Arts prodigy, exceptionally powerful!"
"That’s the word!" Elder Xu said, "But I’ve never seen him in action, so I don’t know how much of the tale is true or false!"
"I’ll find out for myself!" Yang smiled.
As a true disciple of the Five Sword Sect, he had enough confidence.
After all, in the vast Five Sword Sect, the true disciples were scarcely more than a handful.
Each one was a strong contender for future Sect Leader.
And in the Five Sword Sect, although his swordsmanship was not outstanding.
His archery was unmatched and peerless within the sect.
Even most elders in the sect feared his archery.
With the bow in hand, he had enough confidence and assurance.
Afterward, his wide finger bones grasped an arrow and placed it on the bowstring.
As he slowly exerted force, the powerful bow in his hand was gradually drawn, and the bow began to bend.
Yet, at this mont, his arrow still did not target Jiang Ning.
Because he knows that Martial Arts Strongn often have exceptional sensory perception.
Just like the sensory sharpness so ordinary people can detect from gaze upon them.
On Martial Arts Strongn, this phenonon is even more evident.
And his archery has reached the point where he can lock onto a target a thousand ters away in an instant, no need for slow aiming.
As he exerted more force, the strong bow in his hand was drawn to eighty percent capacity.
"Then I’ll make my move!" Yang said, holding the bow in one hand and clutching the arrow in the other, speaking calm and composedly to Elder Xu.
"Alright!" Elder Xu nodded heavily, his gaze fixed on the people on stage.
He also slowly drew the long sword in his hand.
Just waiting for Yang’s arrow to break through the air, then he would leap from the building with his sword into the execution ground, turning the place upside down, avenging his sacrificed clansn.
At this mont.
Jiang Ning slowly took a seat.
He picked up the Execution Token on the table, recalling the movies and dramas he had seen in his previous life.
Now, only waiting for the Execution Token in his hand to be thrown, then the executioner would swing the blade, and heads from the Xu and Mu Families would roll imdiately.
Suddenly.
He looked westward.
At this mont, the sun slightly slanted towards the west.
Facing the direction of the sun, his vision was briefly affected by the strong light.
He squinted his eyes slightly, then saw the sparkling cold light in the air.
From his current angle, the arrow that pierced through the air only revealed the arrowhead.
The feathers behind the arrowhead were mostly obscured by the diamond-shaped tip.
"Great angle! Excellent archery!!" Watching the speeding arrow piercing through the air silently, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but show admiration in his eyes.
The person who shot this arrow is not only skilled in archery, reaching a level of soundlessness.
What is soundlessness?
It’s when the arrow surpasses the speed of sound, thus silent.
The arrow in front, the sound soaring behind.
With such archery, it’s enough to achieve victory over stronger opponents.
And the person who shot this arrow is not only superb in archery but also adept at utilizing terrain and environnt.
Noon, right after 11:30.
The sun had already passed over the eastern half of the sky, moving towards the western half.
And at this ti, it’s still the brightest part of the day.
The sun hung high in the western sky, looking from east to west, vision would be affected, making it harder to see the arrows that pierce the sky in an instant.
On the other side.
On the five-story building.
As the arrow from the Five Sword Sect True Disciple pierced the air, it emitted a piercing boom in front of Elder Xu.
The mont the arrow left the string, it broke the sound barrier.
As the air wave surged, a fierce wind hit, Elder Xu squinted slightly, his long hair fluttering backward.
"Yang, handle the formation!" Elder Xu’s voice fell.
He then jumped off the building with his long sword, as the wind roared around him, suddenly Yang’s voice sounded above his head.
"Elder Xu, sothing’s not right, be careful!!"
At this point.
The arrow had just pierced the air, still nearly four hundred ters away from Jiang Ning’s location at the vegetable market and execution ground.
Even with his ability to pierce the sound barrier, this speed still required a full third of an instant.
For the strong, this speed allows them to move more than ten zhang away, and even farther.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s gaze upward, Xu knew Jiang Ning’s sensory acuity was exceptional, and if unrestrained, given his archery, from this distance, it would be impossible to pose any threat to Jiang Ning.
Xu also realized his ticulously prepared shot had lost its nace.
The arrow having been locked by Jiang Ning just as it left the string, destined to return fruitless.
Upon seeing this.
He took a deep breath and then exhaled lightly.
Grabbing another arrow from the quiver at his waist.
Tightened his wide joints around the arrow shaft and pulled strongly.
If he couldn’t evade Jiang Ning’s sensory detection, his arrow would attack where rescue is necessary.
"Xiao Ei!" Yang’s lips curled with a cold smile.
As one of the Five Sword Sect’s True Disciples, how could he not know Xiao Ei?
How could he not have heard the gossip outside?
The recently appointed Lord Jiang has deep ties with the Palace Master of Water Moon Sword Palace.
Upon seeing Xiao Ei following Jiang Ning today, he knew the rumor wasn’t baseless.
Since this is the case, then the master of the Water Moon Sword Palace, Xiao Ei, in his eyes, is Jiang Ning’s soft spot and where a rescue is requisite.
As a master archer, he understands and is skilled in such strategy.
As he drew the bowstring to its full draw, the arrow pierced the sky, entering above the vegetable market.
It wasn’t until the arrow arrived that everyone heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air above.
