Chapter 263: Chapter 116: The Bow Strikes like Thunder! The Sword Shatters the Blood Dragon!_3
“Ah! Murder! There’s been a murder!”
Everything happened in less than ten breaths’ time, and only then did people react, screaming out in horror.
“There! Over there! The arrows came from that direction!”
Some soldiers hurriedly looked toward the distant tall building.
The whole scene was in chaos, a celebration that was originally full of joy, the Chen family’s brothers’ fiftieth birthday feast, inviting guests, yet the two brothers had just appeared when they were shot dead on the spot!
Two Martial Artists with considerable strength, holding the rank of Chiliarch in the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, fell without much resistance, which was unbelievable!
“Let’s go!”
After killing the Chen family’s brothers, Su Changkong slung his powerful bow over his shoulder and leaped up like a black bat, silently diving down from the tall building, ignoring the astonished looks of the people on the streets as he made his way through the alleyways.
Two days ago, Su Changkong had already scouted the terrain around the Clear Moon Restaurant, and now he moved through the alleys with ease.
“Come out now, stop following me.”
After a while, in an alley, Su Changkong said coldly.
At the end of the alley, a tall and burly figure emerged, a pair of bright eyes staring solemnly at Su Changkong.
This was a man in his thirties, with a square face, and a natural high-spirited demeanor, wearing loose-fitting long clothing, exuding an extraordinary aura.
At the same moment Su Changkong shot the Chen brothers, he felt he was being targeted. As he moved through the alleys, the man followed closely with an extremely skilled movement, prompting Su Changkong to allow him to show himself.
“Who are you? Why did you kill my subordinates!”
The man stared at Su Changkong, his voice heavy, his eyes filled with seriousness and coldness. The dark-skinned man before him was too audacious, daring to commit murder within Dafeng State City, and to kill two Chiliarchs of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry at that!
“So, it is Jiang Qian.”
Hearing the man’s words, Su Changkong realized his identity.
The superior of the Chen brothers, Jiang Qian, the Chief of Ten Thousand of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, Su Changkong had learned of him from the information he got from Zhou Zhengye.
Jiang Qian was both shocked and angry. He was the superior of the Chen brothers and was invited to grace their fiftieth birthday. But he had barely arrived when, from a distance, he heard the startling turmoil—the Chen brothers had been shot dead on the spot!
“Such archery, among the four hundred thousand men of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, fewer than five could match it!”
Jiang Qian was secretly alarmed, two Martial Artists at the Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke Realm were shot dead by Su Changkong in a short time.
In the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, there were many skilled individuals, and Archery was also one of the necessary Martial Arts Skills. There were no shortage of skilled marksmen, but the Archery demonstrated by Su Changkong was so exceptional that only a handful within the Dafeng Iron Cavalry could compete with it.
The problem was that Su Changkong appeared to be in his thirties, with dark skin and neither tall nor short stature; Jiang Qian had no recollection of him whatsoever.
Facing Jiang Qian’s interrogation, Su Changkong chuckled and said, “It’s often those who play the hero who end up slaughtering dogs. I’ve merely heard of the Chen brothers committing murder and taking credit for others’ deeds, their lists of heinous crimes are long. I can’t stand such things, so killing them was just doing what’s right!”
Su Changkong’s words weren’t a lie, but he hadn’t acted out of a sense of justice to kill and eliminate evil but rather due to a deal with Zhou Zhengye to avenge his family, with the reward being the recipe to refine the Demon Monster’s Crystal Core.
These words made Jiang Qian’s visage slightly change. He was naturally aware of the Chen brothers taking credit for someone else’s deeds, but with the matter already settled, the higher-ups of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry worried about the impact on their reputation so they had no choice but to let the matter slide and did not punish the Chen brothers.
Was this mysterious expert targeting the Chen brothers for that very reason?
“Until next time!” Su Changkong waved his hand, ready to leave.
“Where do you think you’re going? Stay!”
Although Jiang Qian’s expression changed, he couldn’t watch Su Changkong, the bold murderer who dared to kill his subordinates within Feng State City, just walk away.
With a thunderous shout, Jiang Qian lunged at Su Changkong, striking with his right palm towards Su Changkong’s back, his palm force surging like roaring waves.
Five Animal Frolics. Descending Tiger!
Su Changkong’s expression turned cold as the movement behind him made him swiftly turn around. Employing the ferocious and powerful Tiger Play from the Five Animal Frolics, his entire demeanor changed abruptly, like a vicious tiger with bared teeth pouncing down from the mountaintop!
“Roar!”
Jiang Qian faintly heard the deafening sound of a tiger’s roar, shaking his soul!
“Boom!”
Fist and palm collided, sending ferocious energy scattering in all directions. On the ground, bricks and stones were upturned, cracks spreading, and walls on both sides of the alley were smashed as if hit by a huge wave.
“What… What’s that sound?”
The people in the houses on both sides of the alley were frightened witless, completely clueless about what was happening.
“Such powerful punch!”
Meeting head-on, feeling the immense force in the palm of his hands like a starving tiger pouncing, Jiang Qian felt a chill in his heart. He had launched a quick attack to avoid giving Su Changkong a chance to shoot his arrows, but not only was Su Changkong’s Archery exceptional, but his martial arts skills were also astonishingly strong—there were no weaknesses to exploit!
“Dragon Roar!”
Realizing the person before him was far stronger than anticipated, a master who would certainly not be inferior to himself, Jiang Qian dared not be careless. His Qi and Blood boiled furiously, a resonant Dragon Roar echoed across the fields, and his surging Qi and Blood formed a long dragon, circling over his head!
