At almost the exact sa ti...
Zhao Tianxing, by the distant shack, also aid his arrow at the man!
"SWOOSH!"
"SWOOSH!"
Two Purple Bamboo Arrows, one from the south and one from the north, shot toward the Bone Marrow Forging Realm gang mber like two streaks of light!
The man was an old hand. He instantly sensed the danger, the hair on his neck standing on end, and tried to dodge to the right!
"THWACK!"
Two muffled thuds sounded at almost the sa ti.
Before he could move, two arrows—one from the front, one from the back—had already arrived, striking his body simultaneously!
"SWOOSH! SWOOSH!"
Chu Fan fired two more arrows. Neither missed their mark, and the other two gang mbers fell to the ground.
He imdiately slung the teor Bow over his back, and with a SHING, his Long Saber was unsheathed. In a flash of its blade, he slashed at the pursuing Bone Tempering Realm man!
’This is bad!’
Although the man had caught up to Chu Fan, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew things had taken a turn for the worse.
Even though he was in the Bone Tempering Realm, his Qinggong was diocre at best.
In his haste just now, he had actually copied Chu Fan and leaped onto the rooftops!
’His opponent’s Qinggong is clearly far superior to mine. If we fight on the rooftops, I’ll be at a disadvantage at every turn. What chance do I have of winning?’
The thought flashed through his mind, and he made a split-second decision. He stomped down hard with his right foot!
With a CRACK, the roof tiles shattered. His entire body plumted like a boulder toward the earthen house below, narrowly avoiding the wind from Chu Fan’s saber!
But Chu Fan didn’t give chase. With a flicker of his body, he leaped down from the roof and charged straight for the two other gang mbers.
"SWISH!"
The light of his saber flashed past.
Before the two could even retreat, their throats were slit. Blood sprayed as they crumpled to the ground.
Chu Fan turned to look at the last two n.
Seeing how ruthless he was, how could they dare to approach? They both turned and fled!
Chu Fan flooded his limbs with Qi Blood Power, pushing his Light as a Feather to its limit. His body drifted like a willow catkin, and within a few breaths, he caught up to the two n.
The blade flashed again, and two heads rolled to the ground, staining the alleyway red with blood.
But just then, sothing unexpected happened!
The sound of heavy footsteps echoed from deep within the alley, growing more and more distant!
The Bone Tempering Realm man had actually taken a detour! He’d ignored Chu Fan and was heading straight for the shack where Zhao Tianxing was hiding!
Even from a dozen ters away, Chu Fan could hear the man’s bones crackling and his Qi Blood Power surging like that of a raging Fierce Beast!
’Damn it!’
Chu Fan’s heart leaped. As he jumped back onto the rooftops to give chase, he once again unslung his teor Bow.
He took a Black Kite Arrow from his quiver.
This arrow was thicker and heavier than a Purple Bamboo Arrow, its tip glinting with a cold light. It was designed specifically for tough opponents!
Chu Fan ran swiftly across the roof tiles, already drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, its tip locked onto the figure ahead.
Far ahead, Zhao Tianxing also sensed the danger. He didn’t dare to run. Instead, he tightened his grip on his Bengyue Bow, his knuckles turning white. He too drew his bow, his gaze fixed on the approaching man!
Two piercing killing intents locked onto the Bone Tempering Realm expert at almost the sa ti!
"The Moon Eclipse Arrow!"
The man’s expression changed drastically.
He had long heard of the power of the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall’s Moon Eclipse Arrow. Not daring to take it head-on, he frantically ducked into an earthen house, hoping to use its walls to block the arrow!
"Eclipse - Shattering!"
Seeing him charge, Zhao Tianxing showed no hint of panic on his face as he steadily nocked an arrow and drew his bow.
The arrow he used was a special Purple Bamboo Arrow. It flew with incredible speed, its sharp, piercing whistle tearing through the air, carrying enough force to penetrate ordinary iron armor!
The arrow transford into a streak of purple lightning, shooting straight for the man’s heart.
But a Bone Tempering Realm Martial Artist’s muscles and bones have been tempered countless tis. Their five senses were far superior to those in the Blood Refining Realm or the Bone Marrow Forging Realm.
A fierce glint flashed in the man’s eyes. He neither dodged nor evaded.
His large hand, wrapped in Blood-Colored Gang Qi, shot out and, without the slightest error, snatched the speeding Purple Bamboo Arrow from the air!
"CRACK!"
He snapped the Purple Bamboo Arrow in his grasp and casually tossed the pieces to the ground.
"You little brat, die!"
He let out a savage laugh and weaved through the alley. His speed actually increased, and the distance to Zhao Tianxing shrank once more.
Zhao Tianxing fired three arrows in quick succession. The man dodged one, and caught and snapped the other two!
Seeing this, he turned to run, trying to create more distance!
His own strength was weaker; if a Bone Tempering Realm expert got into close quarters with him, it would be a dead end!
He had to pull away. Only then could his Great Success level Moon Eclipse Arrow technique show its advantage.
’As long as I can stall for a little while, until Chu Fan catches up to that bastard, we’ll have succeeded!’
At that mont, Chu Fan, who had been chasing from behind, suddenly stopped. He paid no mind to the Blood Saber Sect mbers pursuing him!
The teor Bow in his hands glowed with a dark luster. He had already drawn it into a full moon!
Nocked on the string was none other than a Black Kite Arrow!
Chu Fan held nothing back, pouring all of his body’s Qi Blood Power into the limbs of the bow.
What he was unleashing was the Killing Move of the Moon Eclipse Arrow technique, one he had nearly cultivated to the Perfection stage.
"Eclipse - Piercing Kill!"
This move wasn’t about grand displays of power. It focused all its force into a single point, seeking the ultimate in penetration and speed!
The mont the arrow left the string, it beca a chilling beam of light, like a sliver of a crescent moon in the dark night, capable of piercing multiple targets in a single straight line!
The Bone Tempering Realm man felt a bone-chilling killing intent lock onto him in an instant.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood up one by one!
A sense of crisis he had never felt before washed over him like ice water. His charge toward Zhao Tianxing ca to an abrupt halt!
At the mont of life and death, he forcibly twisted his body. His bones popped and cracked as he pushed his Qi Blood Power to its absolute limit.
SWOOSH!
In the instant he turned, the slender, black arrow—its edges wreathed in a chilling halo like moonlight—was already before his eyes!
It was more than twice as fast as the previous Purple Bamboo Arrows!
Its piercing aura was so concentrated it made his scalp tingle!
"ROAR!"
Scared out of his wits, the man let out a wild roar. In the nick of ti, he reached out to grab the arrow’s shaft!
"THUMP!"
A soft, yet sickening, sound of flesh being pierced was heard.
He had caught the Black Kite Arrow, but he was still a step too slow...
