"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
After successfully killing that man, Jiang Feng saw the other Sixth Grade Realm martial artist, whom he'd previously shot through the chest with an arrow, tumble from the rooftop and crash into the courtyard. Remembering the cunning tricks Ge Huizhong had pulled earlier, Jiang Feng didn't feel assured, so he quickly added two more arrows to the guy's back.
At this moment, he sensed a figure swiftly approaching from the left.
It was none other than the fake Ge Huizhong.
"Swoosh swoosh!"
Jiang Feng quickly leapt toward the right, twisting his body to shoot off two arrows as he spun.
"Damn it!"
Ge Huizhong had just tried to get close, but was forced back by Jiang Feng's two arrows, ducking back under the eaves again.
Jiang Feng could tell Ge Huizhong's strength was above his own. The only way he could hold out against him was relying on his Monkey Escape Technique. If Ge Huizhong got close, Jiang Feng would definitely be in danger.
So he pulled some distance from Ge Huizhong again.
Seeing three Seventh-Grade Realm martial artists pursuing from afar, Jiang Feng dashed toward them without hesitation.
"Don't come over, get out of here!"
Ge Huizhong yelled again.
The two Sixth-Grade martial artists had already been killed by Jiang Feng. If those three Sevenths ran into Jiang Feng, they'd just have their names crossed off too.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
The trio hadn't reacted yet.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Jiang Feng seized the opportunity and shot three arrows in a flash, aiming at each one of them.
The terrifying speed created a piercing sound as the arrows cut through the air.
The three were totally unprepared.
Less than fifty meters apart.
Weaker than Jiang Feng, there was no way they could dodge.
With a series of thuds, they all crashed to the ground.
But Jiang Feng wasn't taking chances. He quickly chased up, kept a distance of over thirty meters, and put another arrow in each of them.
He pulled the Overlord Bow into a full moon draw.
The speed and power of the arrows was enough to unsettle even Ge Huizhong.
The three were all nailed to the ground.
They barely even twitched before their breaths ceased.
Overjoyed, Jiang Feng immediately glanced over at Ge Huizhong, thinking he'd come for revenge in this moment. Unexpectedly, Ge Huizhong was dashing through the alley, weaving across the courtyard, sprinting at full speed away from him.
He was actually running away.
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
Seeing this, Jiang Feng fired two arrows swiftly at Ge Huizhong.
Both thudded into the alley walls, dodged by Ge Huizhong.
"Can't let him get away."
Jiang Feng sensed trouble and hurried after him.
He was worried that if he didn't get Ge Huizhong today, the Red Lotus Church would go crazy with revenge. He might have to hole up in Zhenbei Prison for a long time to come.
"Bastard."
Ge Huizhong cursed.
Hearing the constant whistle of arrows behind him, his qi and blood surged madly. His footsteps zigzagged—sometimes darting through the alley, sometimes sprinting along the eaves—dodging Jiang Feng's arrows by using every obstacle around to his advantage.
He was both annoyed and frustrated inside.
He was a dignified Fifth-Grade Blood Refining Martial Artist, and now he was being chased down by a Sixth-Grade Refining Organ Realm. If word got out, people would die of laughter.
And he'd already lost five men.
Two Sixth-Grades and three Seventh-Grades.
An utter humiliation.
But up against Jiang Feng's Hundred-step Piercing Willow Archery, he had no choice but to run.
While fleeing, he'd tried hiding behind cover, hoping to ambush Jiang Feng up close and render his bow and arrows useless.
Unfortunately, Jiang Feng was even more cunning than him.
Jiang Feng always kept a safe distance.
If he ran, Jiang Feng would chase and snipe with an arrow whenever there was a chance.
If he stopped, Jiang Feng stopped too, just standing there calling out his name with arrows.
If he pursued, Jiang Feng would back off, hiding behind cover to snipe again.
All these annoying tricks were enough to drive Ge Huizhong mad with depression.
In the end, considering his unique status and that lingering would be dangerous, all Ge Huizhong could do was run forward and hope to shake Jiang Feng off.
"Shit, I'm almost out of arrows. If this goes on, he'll get away sooner or later."
Jiang Feng felt for his quiver and found only six arrows left.
He'd only just bought sixty arrows at the Black Market.
When Ge Huizhong was chasing him earlier, he'd fired seven or eight to force him back. Finishing off Ge Huizhong's five men took another ten or so arrows.
Just now, all the way in pursuit, he'd unleashed almost thirty arrows, but never managed to truly injure Ge Huizhong—just a few minor scrapes, nothing that could stop him.
Once he was out of arrows,
he'd have no way to threaten Ge Huizhong anymore.
But Jiang Feng wasn't worried about being killed in return by Ge Huizhong.
He still had his body technique. Even earlier, when Ge Huizhong had him surrounded, Jiang Feng could still reverse the situation. As long as he ran fast, one Ge Huizhong was nothing to fear.
But if Ge Huizhong got away, that would be a big problem in the future.
So Jiang Feng quickly opened up his panel.
Name: Jiang Feng
Fortune Point: 1424
Cultivation Technique: Prison Guard Health Care Skill (Minor Achievement)
Skills: Prison Guard Long Fist (Proficient+) Divine Arrow (Proficient+) Monkey Escape (Mastery+)
Realm: Sixth Grade (Refining Organs)
Divine Power: Immortality
Seeing his Fortune Point shot up from less than six hundred to over fourteen hundred, Jiang Feng wasn't too surprised.
If, when he saw Ge Huizhong in the alley just now, he hadn't run immediately, he would have been in deep trouble for sure.
And after killing those two Sixth-Grade Martial Artists and three Seventh-Grade Martial Artists, forcing Ge Huizhong to flee alone and surviving several waves of danger, he'd only gained about seven hundred-plus Fortune Points—in Jiang Feng's eyes, not that much.
While chasing Ge Huizhong, he pondered where to assign the 1400 Fortune Points.
Prison Guard Long Fist was for close combat,
and even if leveled up to Mastery Level, with a Sixth-Grade cultivation, Jiang Feng still wouldn't dare take on Ge Huizhong head-on.
So he crossed that out first.
That just left Divine Arrow and Monkey Escape Technique.
Currently, his body technique was just a bit better than Ge Huizhong's, but it wasn't enough to deal with him. Even if he upgraded it from Mastery to Minor Achievement and hugely outpaced Ge Huizhong, he still couldn't threaten him—at most, he'd just be able to mess with him.
In the end, the only place worth investing was Divine Arrow.
He remembered that when his Fortune Points had hit 1200 before, a plus sign had shown up after Divine Arrow.
Jiang Feng dumped 1200 Fortune Points straight into Divine Arrow.
The panel changed.
Name: Jiang Feng
Fortune: 224
Cultivation Technique: Prison Guard Health Care Skill (Minor Achievement)
Skills: Prison Guard Long Fist (Proficient) Divine Arrow (Mastery) Monkey Escape (Mastery)
Realm: Sixth Grade (Refining Organs)
Divine Power: Immortality
As Jiang Feng gripped the Overlord Bow, he felt his blood blend into the longbow, as though it was a part of his own body. His archery skill improved dramatically without him even noticing.
"Hahaha! You're almost out of arrows! If you've got guts, keep chasing me!"
Ge Huizhong's mocking laughter came from ahead.
He'd noticed Jiang Feng's arrows were coming much less frequently and guessed Jiang Feng didn't have many left.
Unable to contain his glee, Ge Huizhong's pace unintentionally began to slow.
