The crowd focused their gaze and imdiately took a start. Although Ling Chen’s arrow didn’t hit Liu Kui, one of Liu Kui’s n behind him fell victim.
That person happened to be standing right behind Liu Kui, and when Liu Kui dodged aside, the arrow went straight into the person’s forehead, killing him on the spot.
This sudden incident caught everyone off guard; they never imagined that guy would just die so absurdly.
After a brief pause, Wu Zhaofeng’s old face broke into a wide grin, and he began to laugh heartily.
"How unexpected, really unexpected, Liu Kui! I ntioned earlier, those who commit many misdeeds will eventually face retribution. It’s not that it won’t co; it’s just a matter of ti. Your subordinate did so many evil deeds, and finally t his fate. Just watch, your retribution won’t be far behind."
"Shut your mouth!" Liu Kui roared through clenched teeth, his face a livid shade.
This hasn’t even started, and already a master from the Earthly List on his side is dead, and in such a humiliating way, how could he not be angry.
"Fine, very well! You’ve got guts to kill my man; today, you will die beyond a doubt."
Ling Chen’s lips curled slightly as he looked at the furious Liu Kui, unable to suppress laughter. That arrow was originally ant for Liu Kui, but unexpectedly killed the Earthly List master behind him instead, a truly fortunate accident. Now, from a disadvantageous position, they had suddenly turned the tables.
"Mr. Wu, leave Liu Kui to . You take care of the others, no problem, right?"
"Don’t worry, I won’t let you down," Wu Zhaofeng assured, patting his chest. Earlier, he really wasn’t confident because it was a case of the few against the many. But now it was different; with one Earthly List master dead on Liu Kui’s side, plus Liu Kui only having three Earthly List masters, while they had four, the advantage was clear.
More importantly, Ling Chen was employing the strategy of the Tian Ji horse race. By confronting Liu Kui himself, Wu Zhaofeng was free to act. Wu Zhaofeng’s strength was second only to Liu Kui, so having him engage the other two Earthly List masters was more than sufficient.
As Ling Chen stepped closer, Liu Kui waved to the group behind him and commanded coldly, "Kill them all, leave no one behind."
"Liu Kui, maybe you should take care of yourself first." As the words fell, Ling Chen drew his bow instantly and fired an arrow straight at Liu Kui.
However, Liu Kui was already prepared; the mont Ling Chen raised his hand to shoot, Liu Kui made a quick move to dodge, shifting slightly aside so the arrow whisked past him closely. This ti, everyone learned their lesson and moved out from behind Liu Kui to avoid being accidentally struck again.
"You’re courting death!" Without waiting for Ling Chen to draw his bow again, Liu Kui shouted and charged towards Ling Chen with a fist like a casserole pot, aiming straight for Ling Chen’s head.
Seeing Liu Kui’s fist approaching, Ling Chen’s lips slightly curved with a hint of a faint smile, showing no fear, as if Liu Kui’s attack was nothing to him. Just as the fist was about to co down, Liu Kui suddenly saw a blur, and Ling Chen, who had been standing still, vanished from his view.
Where did he go?
Liu Kui was startled and quickly turned his gaze around, searching for Ling Chen’s whereabouts.
"Looking for ? I’m right here."
Upon hearing Ling Chen’s voice from beside him, Liu Kui imdiately turned his head to his left. Indeed, Ling Chen had sohow moved to his side.
Facing Liu Kui’s astonished gaze, Ling Chen smiled warmly at him. Liu Kui’s strength was formidable, but opponents like Liu Kui, with a large build, naturally moved slower compared to slimr adversaries. Moreover, Ling Chen was adept at the Nine Yang Qiankun Step. With this remarkable movent technique, Ling Chen could easily evade Liu Kui’s attacks.
If he had no confidence at all, Ling Chen wouldn’t dare engage.
Compared to Ling Chen, the battle over at Wu Zhaofeng and Qin Genglong’s side was even more relaxed. Losing an Earthly List master, Wu Zhaofeng and the others felt no pressure at all; the situation was almost one-sided with Liu Kui’s subordinates utterly unable to retaliate.
However, just at this mont, dozens of security personnel dressed in suits suddenly burst through the front and rear pathways of the prison, surrounding everyone in the center. Leading them was Yu Peng.
"Ling Chen, you can’t escape, surrender now and stop wasting your resistance."
Ling Chen glanced at the security personnel ard with riot shields and stun batons and said calmly, "Yu Peng, even your strongest n couldn’t stop ; do you think these people can?"
Yu Peng raised his head, smugly stating, "Ling Chen, I have already reported this matter to the governnt; reinforcents are on the way and will arrive soon. Once the larger force gets here, let’s see how you plan to escape."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression slightly changed; this was not good news. If the governnt reinforcents truly arrived, it would be trouble for them.
"No, we must escape quickly."
With this thought, Ling Chen suddenly shouted, holding the longbow horizontally in his hand, aiming directly at Liu Kui opposite him. Having witnessed the power of the arrows before, Liu Kui was not careless; he quickly moved towards the security personnel beside him, lifting a riot shield in his hand to protect his vital parts.
Clang!
Accompanied by a crisp sound, the arrowhead fiercely hit the riot shield, then bounced off and fell to the ground.
This strike missed, and Ling Chen imdiately reached for the quiver on his back, wanting to use the arrows to pressure the opponent, buying ti for his companions. However, as Ling Chen touched the quiver, he found it empty—he had used up all his arrows. Seeing this, Ling Chen’s heart sank montarily.
The arrows Wu Zhaofeng provided were limited, and though he had been frugal along the way, they were still insufficient.
Seeing Ling Chen’s dazed appearance, Liu Kui couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Ling Chen, now without arrows, let’s see what skills you have left." Saying this, Liu Kui threw the riot shield aside and stepped towards Ling Chen.
"Mr. Ling, be careful!"
Wu Zhaofeng, fearing for Ling Chen’s safety, swiftly withdrew from the battle and stood protectively beside Ling Chen, warily watching Liu Kui.
"Mr. Wu, I’m fine; don’t worry about ." As Ling Chen spoke, it was as if he sensed sothing, his eyes scanning the surrounding crowd. Suddenly, a faint brightness flashed in the depths of his gaze.
As Liu Kui stepped closer, Ling Chen once again raised the longbow in his hand, aiming directly at Liu Kui who was advancing forward.
"Hahaha!" Liu Kui laughed wildly, "Ling Chen, are you out of your mind? You have a bow but no arrows, what are you planning to shoot with?"
Ling Chen’s lips curled slightly, indifferent to Liu Kui’s taunts, and he spoke aningfully, "Who said you can’t shoot an arrow without an arrow?"
