Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1718: Mysterious Youth, Peerless Archery!

”The world is vast, but anywhere there’s people, isn’t it dangerous?” Lin Zifeng chuckled. He had a good impression of this John, at least he seemed like a straightforward person.

”True enough. Watching your skills, you don’t seem like an ordinary person. Did you use to be in the military?” Earlier, during their fight, Lin Zifeng’s Big Capture move had a very military style.

He was merely guessing.

”I did, I suppose you could say I was a Mercenary.” Lin Zifeng nodded, reminiscing about his days as a mercenary, there was a sense of nostalgia. It was much more fulfilling than now.

So, at the first sight of the eight of them, Lin Zifeng felt a sense of camaraderie. Perhaps the military soul within him was undying.

”You were also a mercenary? Which Mercenary Guild were you with?”

”Mercenary Guild? What’s a Mercenary Guild?” Lin Zifeng had never heard of a Mercenary Guild. He only knew that back then, the Heaven Gate Mercenary Group was already quite remarkable.

”A Mercenary Guild is an association formed by all the mercenary organizations themselves, promoting peace, freedom, and equality. Don’t you know anything about the Mercenary Guild?”

John was surprised, as the Mercenary Guild was quite famous after all.

Lin Zifeng shook his head, truly unaware of any Mercenary Guild. With so many mercenary organizations globally, who knew what a Mercenary Guild was?

”John, it’s almost time to set out. Rest well, and let’s move.”

Seeing John chatting happily with Lin Zifeng, their leader Thomas immediately reminded them loudly. He didn’t want his men getting too close to Lin Zifeng, as it could endanger the whole team.

Without understanding Lin Zifeng’s background, they wouldn’t get too close to him.

Soon...

The group proceeded further into Kunling Mountain. The emergence of the Holy Weapon from Liu Shen’s Tomb was indeed an exciting event.

However, just as they crossed another mountain top,

”Whoosh!” A streak of dark light sliced through the sky, almost instantaneously shooting toward them.

”Puff~”

At that moment, a mercenary was pierced through by a cold Feathered Arrow!

”No!!!”

Thomas and John shouted in despair, but it was too late. That member’s heart was pierced by the long arrow.

Lin Zifeng turned his head and saw the pierced member rolling down the slope, blood staining the entire hill red.

”No!!!”

Almost all the mercenaries screamed with all their might, but their comrade had rolled to the bottom, becoming a corpse.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Zifeng realized that danger had arrived!

His Magic Bracelet had just reacted slightly, but he hadn’t paid attention. He didn’t expect someone to die right in front of him.

”Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

At this moment, more cold, black arrow beams shot forth from the horizon. Due to their speed, they ignited a long trail of black flames as they cut through the air, burning intensely.

”Get down!”

Lin Zifeng knew that this must be the work of some experts; otherwise, such powerful Feathered Arrows wouldn’t be possible.

Yet, he was still a step too late.

Puff, puff, puff...

Three people reacted a beat too late and their chests exploded from the three Feathered Arrows, their flesh torn apart.

The remaining four quickly got down, but could only watch helplessly as their comrades met untimely deaths, hearts wrenched with grief, yet powerless.

Thud, thud, thud... Lin Zifeng sprinted quickly, like a fierce tiger descending a mountain, Ling Li’s sharp gaze scanning the surroundings, fast capturing the direction from which the Feathered Arrows were being shot.

”Whoosh!”

At this moment, another arrow locked onto Lin Zifeng’s movement. The archer stood in a patch of low bushes, a Feathered Arrow on their back. Drawing and shooting almost seamlessly.

”Clang!”

The arrow shot rapidly towards Lin Zifeng’s throat, a shot to kill, unmistakably intending to take Lin Zifeng’s life.

”So vicious!” Lin Zifeng’s eyes shone with a chilling light, as the Heavenly Hand slapped the arrowhead into a hook shape, a flash of fire-colored golden light sparkling past.

Then the archer drew their bow again, this time firing three arrows simultaneously, determined to shoot Lin Zifeng dead.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three arrows were released, slicing through the sky, creating a sharp whistling sound.

But Lin Zifeng waved the Heavenly Hand once again, snapping the three arrows in succession. At this point, Lin Zifeng, while running, caught sight of the archer.

It was a black-haired, dark-eyed youth! The youth appeared young, around 17 or 18 years old, but his originally youthful and energetic face flashed a cold and fierce gaze.

Lin Zifeng knew this youth was no ordinary person.

Such ruthless actions made one furious beyond measure.

”Buzz, buzz, buzz...”

At this moment, as Lin Zifeng approached, the youth pulled out a Big Iron Arrow from his back and notched it on a large bow made of bone.

With the Iron Arrow drawn, the youth’s arm strength was astounding, muscles bulging with sufficient power.

With a hum, the war bow was drawn. Almost instantaneously, the Big Iron Arrow was released from the long string of the Bone Bow.

Whoosh...

The Iron Arrow had immense power, coupled with the bone bow’s hardness and the string’s elasticity, this shot was bound to harm Lin Zifeng.

After firing this shot, even the youth himself felt that this arrow’s power could definitely kill the opponent. A smirk played at his lips.

Confident without doubt.

But he was wrong! Very wrong.

Because right after the Iron Arrow was shot, Lin Zifeng exclaimed, spreading his arms and then clapping them together, catching the War Arrow between his palms!

The immense arrow force flowed between his palms, and if not for Lin Zifeng’s intense use of Ancient Martial Tai Chi to neutralize the force, the arrow’s power might have repelled him.

”What incredible strength!”

Lin Zifeng’s heart was shaken. For a youth alone to possess such astonishing arm strength, that bone bow wasn’t something just anyone could draw.

The fired Iron Arrow carried unmatched power, and if not for actively neutralizing it, it really could have injured him.

”Swish~”

Suddenly, after shooting one arrow, the youth took up the Bone Bow and turned to run.

”Damn brat, do you think you can just kill and leave?” Lin Zifeng was furious and wouldn’t let the youth escape.

Chasing him for seven or eight miles, the youth was sweating profusely, seemingly exhausted, but the figure behind him persisted in the chase.

Suddenly, the youth’s eyes flashed a colder gleam, and he abruptly turned, drawing the Bone Bow, and notching five Big Iron Arrows, trying to muster all his strength for a fatal shot at Lin Zifeng.

”Kid. You seem to run well. Let’s see how long you can keep it up.”

Facing such a formidable adversary, the youth’s eyes were peculiar, but more so sinister.

His face turned somber, silent. Bow drawn, arrows prepared, yet delaying the shot. These five Big Iron Arrows were his current final Big Killing Move. If he couldn’t kill the opponent, he would be in grave danger.
