11: Shen Lingshu

It was terrifying.

The opponent, right under Jiang Wei’s nose, easily shot and killed two people.

Jiang Wei didn’t even see the direction the opponent attacked from!

Looking at the two bodies, they had been directly shattered.

Not even a trace of an arrow was seen.

These were arrows formed from spiritual Qi!

What kind of expert could wield spiritual Qi transformed into arrows, yet still come to assassinate the three of them?

At this moment, Jiang Wei hid behind a large tree, cold sweat streaming down, not daring to move.

He could only roughly guess the opponent’s position, but couldn’t be sure. He was now desperately searching, trying to find any trace of that person.

“Esteemed sir, have you perhaps mistaken us for someone else?”

“We are just villagers from Da Huai Village.”

Jiang Wei shouted out.

He wanted to lure the opponent out.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment.

Either they had mistaken them for someone else.

Or someone was playing tricks, using some unknown method to kill the two brothers.

Could it be that the opponent’s strength wasn’t actually that great?

As soon as this thought occurred to Jiang Wei, he immediately shook his head vigorously.

Clearly, this idea was unrealistic.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei heard the sound of a bowstring being released.

Thump!

Relying on years of life-and-death experience, Jiang Wei, without hesitation, immediately pounced to the side.

“Boom!”

The large tree behind him was blasted into splinters.

Wood chips and leaves continuously flew and danced in the air.

Jiang Wei was also pierced by the flying splinters.

“Ah!”

There were over a dozen bloody holes in Jiang Wei’s back.

At this moment, Jiang Wei was utterly shocked.

He hadn’t expected that the opponent’s arrow had even calculated his escape path.

After blasting the tree to pieces, it had also directly pierced his body.

Jiang Wei took a sharp breath.

The intense pain in his back made him realize that he was very likely to die here today.

As a hunter.

He deeply understood the feeling of being targeted by a top hunter.

That lingering shadow of death constantly Entangled him.

Jiang Wei struggled to crawl forward.

He left a long trail of blood on the ground.

Suddenly, a rustling of footsteps sounded.

A figure stopped in front of Jiang Wei.

“You… you are, Jiang Chen!”

“Jiang Chen… quickly save me… there’s a madman, he wants to kill me!”

When Jiang Wei looked up and saw that the newcomer was actually Jiang Chen, he was first startled, then immediately shouted.

It was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

“This arrowhead, three years ago, was dug out of the black bear that killed my father.”

Jiang Chen took out a slightly rusted arrowhead from his pocket.

Jiang Wei froze as he listened to Jiang Chen’s tone.

Old memories instantly surged into Jiang Wei’s mind.

Three years ago, he was also hunting in the mountains and encountered a crazed black bear. He thought he was doomed, but Jiang Dalei appeared and saved him. However, Jiang Wei was too scared and seized the opportunity to escape, but he didn’t expect Jiang Dalei to be killed by that black bear.

What he didn’t expect even more was this.

The arrowhead he had shot into the black bear that year had even been found by Jiang Chen.

For so many years, he had never spoken of this matter.

He also hadn’t expected that Jiang Chen had known about this matter all along.

“Jiang Chen… it’s… it’s you!?”

“The person who attacked just now, was you!!”

Looking at Jiang Chen’s cold eyes, Jiang Wei finally understood at this moment.

He had thought that this time entering the mountain, Jiang Chen would become their prey.

As long as Jiang Chen was killed, then the matter from three years ago would truly be buried for Jiang Wei.

But Jiang Wei found it truly hard to imagine.

Three years ago, Jiang Chen was only fifteen years old.

At that time, he already knew how to endure so much.

So much so that he couldn’t see any signs at all.

“Time is almost up.”

“Don’t worry, your master, Jiang De, will soon go down to accompany you.”

Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Wei’s blood-soaked face, without a trace of sympathy.

He directly shoved the arrowhead, which had been kept for three years, into Jiang Wei’s mouth, forcing Jiang Wei to swallow it.

After swallowing the arrowhead, Jiang Wei’s body soon began to convulse uncontrollably.

“Ding… Enemy Kill Value +1”

The two brothers, Jiang Mingxuan, had only attacked him, so for Jiang Chen, killing them was enough.

But Jiang Wei had caused Jiang Dalei’s death, so he had to die in pain.

Jiang Chen didn’t deliberately dispose of the three bodies either.

He just rummaged through their pockets but didn’t find anything valuable.

At this moment.

Jiang Chen’s ears twitched slightly.

It seemed that the smell of blood here had attracted that Tiger Demon.

A figure was rapidly approaching from a distance.

The movement on the ground was also getting louder and louder.

“It’s the Tiger Demon!”

Jiang Chen’s gaze sharpened.

Just by listening to the commotion, the Tiger Demon’s weight was at least over a thousand catties!

It could truly be called a giant beast.

Whoosh!

In the jungle, a signal arrow shot into the sky.

At this moment.

Jiang De, who was waiting at the edge of Wu Huai Mountain, also suddenly looked over.

“They found it so quickly!”

Jiang De’s eyes lit up.

After all, this Tiger Demon had just begun to awaken its intelligence, which wasn’t too high. Some experienced hunters could find it based on its tracks.

Moreover, this time it was a joint effort of five villages.

Except for Donghuai Village, because Donghuai Village had suffered truly heavy losses.

He just didn’t know if it was Jiang Wei and his group who found it.

Of course, if it was someone else, then he shouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.

He had to claim this credit for himself no matter what.

After all, if he wanted to advance further and take up a position in the town, he had to accumulate merit.

Nie Wenlong also did not act with him.

Although Nie Wenlong’s strength was not weak, this was after all in the big mountains. How would someone who comfortably served in the city know the dangers of these mountain roads?

Jiang De immediately ran towards the direction from which the signal arrow came.

His strength was at the second layer of the Body Tempering Realm.

Allowing Jiang De to move through the dense undergrowth as if on flat ground.

When Jiang De arrived at the location of the Tiger Demon.

He found that a major battle had already taken place here.

Looking closely, he saw a woman with a fiery figure, holding a hunting knife nearly two people tall, fighting with the Tiger Demon.

There were also several injured hunters nearby.

They had apparently been injured during the recent hunt.

However, the Tiger Demon only had a few minor wounds, but it was clear the Tiger Demon had fallen into West Huai Village’s trap, with a huge beast trap clamped onto its hind paw.

“It’s that woman from West Huai Village!”

When Jiang De saw this figure, a trace of lust flashed in his eyes.

One was Cheng Yurou from Da Huai Village.

The other was Shen Lingshu from West Huai Village.

Two women who could be called peerless beauties, like sisters.

However, this Shen Lingshu from West Huai Village was a person of great background.

It was said that she had been tested to have Martial Dao talent and had passed the Black Yamen’s reserve assessment!

Such a young, vibrant body, coupled with the resilience of a Martial Artist, this kind of taste, how could it compare to those old-faced women in the village?

“What a pity, there isn’t enough time, otherwise, just Shen Lingshu’s beautiful buttocks alone would be enough to make one ecstatic, but unfortunately, I can only kill this girl first.”

Jiang De thought to himself.

He took down his bow and arrow.

And first shot at the injured people from West Huai Village in the surroundings.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Three consecutive arrows.

Jiang De’s precise archery easily ended the lives of three hunters from West Huai Village.

“Who’s there!”

Shen Lingshu’s eyes trembled. Someone had actually attacked and ambushed her village’s people in secret!?

Before Shen Lingshu could find the person who had attacked from behind.

She heard a whistle.

A sharp arrow directly aimed at her face. Shen Lingshu tapped her foot, and her body dodged to the side.

Unexpectedly, another arrow shot almost skimming the ground.

“Puff!”

This arrow accurately struck Shen Lingshu’s thigh.

The tearing pain made Shen Lingshu let out an involuntary cry of surprise, losing her balance, and then she was caught up by the Tiger Demon, which swatted her with a paw.

“Bang!”

Shen Lingshu’s clothes on her back were torn to shreds.

Revealing her fair back, but blood quickly seeped out, staining it red.

“It’s you… Jiang De!”

Shen Lingshu finally saw that the attacker was indeed Jiang De!

Immediately, anger flared in Shen Lingshu’s eyes, and she gritted her teeth. The arrow wound on her thigh and the injury on her back caused Shen Lingshu immense pain.

Jiang De did not go to kill the Tiger Demon first.

Instead, a sharp arrow was aimed at Shen Lingshu’s head.

“Tsk tsk, what a beauty.”

Jiang De’s wrinkled face couldn’t help but show infatuation.

But in an instant, Jiang De’s gaze turned sharp.

“Too bad she can only perish!”

As Jiang De’s words fell, he released the bowstring, shooting an arrow.

Whoosh!

This arrow, which was certain to kill Shen Lingshu.

Was struck away by another arrow.

Shen Lingshu’s gaze froze.

Even Jiang De was stunned.

Then he looked up and suddenly discovered a figure holding a hunting bow not far away, and his eyes immediately gleamed with cold light.

“Jiang Chen!”
