Chapter 319: Chapter 132: With the Help of Two Divine Power Realm Experts, an Ambush and Kill in Maple Valley
PFFT!
A sharp, concentrated, and bizarre burst of Force with an intensely piercing quality suddenly erupted from within the arrow’s shaft!
This Force wasn’t meant for earth-shattering destruction. Instead, it carried a strange "disintegrating" and "corrosive" Trait, silently burrowing through his palm and into his meridians!
"Breaking Gang?"
The black-robed man’s brow furrowed, a flicker of shock and uncertainty in his eyes.
Arrows like this, designed specifically to break through Protective Primordial Qi, were extremely rare. They were certainly not something common bandits or robbers would possess. ’Whoever is behind this is no simple foe!’
The thought had barely crossed his mind when a blood-curdling scream erupted from the third carriage behind him!
"AH—!"
The scream was short and sharp, as if cut off mid-cry, filled with agony and disbelief.
Apparently, the person in the carriage had tried to catch the arrow bare-handed just as he had, only to have their palm severely wounded by the "Breaking Gang" Force. It might have even damaged the meridians in their arm!
’That idiot...’
BOOM! BOOM!
At almost the exact moment the scream rang out, the roofs of the first two carriages exploded, sending splinters flying!
Two black-robed figures soared into the air like a pair of giant black vultures spreading their wings. The powerful aura of the Divine Power Realm erupted from them without reservation, churning the surrounding air and sweeping up the scarlet maple leaves on the ground, sending them scattering like a torrential rain!
"Which one of you rats dares to attack us with hidden arrows! Show yourself and die!"
The thunderous roar echoed through the valley, shaking the maple leaves from the trees above. They rustled as they hit the ground, making soft, pattering sounds.
The response was three more Black Kite Arrows whistling through the air!
The arrows shrieked sharply, streaking like three bolts of black lightning straight for the two men’s faces!
Slightly startled, the two black-robed men twisted quickly in mid-air. Their robes whipped through the air with a sharp snap as they narrowly dodged the Black Kite Arrows, landing heavily on the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
The next moment—
SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!
Having missed their targets, the three arrows pierced straight through the third carriage!
Another scream came from inside the carriage, but it vanished as soon as it began, as if something had smothered the person’s mouth and nose!
...
The two black-robed men, along with the four White-robed Cultists who had just hurried out of the fourth carriage, all froze. The hair on their bodies stood on end!
An expert at the Third Heaven of Divine Power Realm had been shot and killed just like that, without even getting out of the carriage?
’How is that possible!’
The arrows might have the "Breaking Gang" Trait, but for a Martial Artist at the Third Heaven of Divine Power Realm, they shouldn’t have been impossible to dodge!
As the two black-robed men and four white-robed men stared in utter disbelief, six figures slowly emerged from behind the rocks on both sides of the valley.
All six of them wore hideous and terrifying Evil Ghost Masks.
In the light of the setting sun, the masks gleamed with a ghastly sheen, making them look like soul-reapers crawling out of hell, each one exuding a bone-chilling killing intent.
One of them held a large, ancient-looking bow covered in intricate patterns, within which a dark current seemed to flow. This was none other than Chu Fan, the one who had just fired that stunning arrow.
Behind Chu Fan, Lu Tao and the Old Constable, who also wore Evil Ghost Masks, had looks of utter horror in their eyes.
They knew there would be a fight to the death in Maple Valley and were even prepared to die here today.
But of all the scenarios they had imagined, they had never, ever expected it to start like this...
This Ghost-faced Man had so easily shot and killed an expert at the Third Heaven of Divine Power Realm!
’How on earth did he do that?’
’The other two black-robed men had dodged the arrows unscathed, so why was the third one so vulnerable?’
The Old Constable and Lu Tao exchanged a glance, seeing the shock mirrored in each other’s eyes. They swallowed nervously, and a sliver of hope began to grow in their hearts—
Perhaps this mysterious young man, who had caused such an uproar in Cyan Yang Ancient City, could actually lead them out of this desperate situation and carve a path to survival!
At that moment, Chu Fan, standing on the edge of the valley, slung the Sunset Bow over his back and lightly patted its frame. With a flicker of movement, he leaped down from the high ground like a great roc spreading its wings.
He landed steadily on the road at the bottom of the valley without kicking up so much as a speck of dust.
The five Ghost-faced Men behind him followed suit, their forms landing as silently as phantoms. They fanned out, subtly surrounding the four carriages and cutting off any path of retreat.
Chu Fan wasted no time with words. His right hand swept across his waist, and the Thunder Blade was already unsheathed!
The blade was long and narrow, its edge gleaming with a cold light. Fine sparks of purple electricity danced and hissed along its length, crackling softly and filling the air with the faint smell of ozone.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, creating a shallow crater in the stone path. His body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, charging directly and fearlessly toward the two black-robed men with their overwhelming Divine Power Realm auras!
"What?!"
Sensing the unconcealed fluctuations of Primordial Qi from Chu Fan—which were merely at the early stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm—the two black-robed men wore expressions of utter disbelief.
It was as if they were witnessing the most absurd, most laughable sight in the world!
A mere junior at the early Spirit Awakening Realm, a being no different from an ant, not only dared to ambush them—experts of the Moon Worship Sect—but was now actively charging them, two Divine Power Realm masters, with blade in hand?
’Where did this madman come from?’
’Did he pick the wrong targets for a roadside robbery, or is he simply tired of living and looking for a quick death?’
’Could this really be the person who just killed their companion, a master at the Third Heaven of Divine Power Realm?’
