Chapter 103: Chapter 96: Bloodbath in the Morning Mist, Two Arrows Breach the Fishery

"Shut up!"

Xia Huanhuan clenched her teeth, forcefully suppressing her anger.

She didn’t want to embarrass her husband in front of outsiders, but what could she do...?

She took a deep breath and said, "Do you really think taking Xingning Street is so simple?"

"The Blood Saber Sect’s men may be scattered and hiding like stray dogs, but don’t forget, the Iron Armor Sect is still there!"

"Besides, the Government Office has been searching everywhere for that Demon Fiend lately, and the whole city is on edge! If you stir up trouble in the city, believe me, the Government Office will make an example out of you!"

At this point, her anger flared up again, and she added, "Did you think this was a picnic? And you’re complaining that the Fishery stinks?"

Zhou Ye’s face flushed red, and he was left speechless.

The three men to the side glanced at Zhou Ye and sighed inwardly.

They were all at the Bone Marrow Forging Realm and were Small Leaders in the Seven Stars Gang, yet now they had to take orders from this buffoon!

Thank goodness Xia Huanhuan was sharp. Otherwise, they might have lost their lives on this mission.

A pale-skinned young man was the first to speak. "As things stand, the Fishermen’s Pier is indeed the best choice."

"It’s outside the city, far from the walls, and the Government Office’s control is lax there."

"Besides, it’s the most profitable spot. The fishermen and warehouses all have to pay protection money to the Blood Saber Sect. They’ve practically squeezed those fishermen dry and are raking it in..."

"The terrain is also ideal. After we succeed, we can escape into the mountains, and no one will be able to catch us."

Xia Huanhuan nodded, her fingertip tapping the three words on the map, "Fishermen’s Pier Dock." She said, "Tomorrow at noon, we’ll go to the pier first to gather information and get familiar with the area. We’ll make our move at dawn the day after!"

"There’s only one Bone Tempering Realm expert stationed at that pier. The five of us will team up and kill him first..."

"The rest of the small fry will be easy pickings, won’t they? The pier will be in the bag!"

...

Deep in the woods outside the Seven Stars Gang Sub-Branch.

Chu Fan suddenly stopped. He held his bow in his left hand, nocked an arrow with his right, and aimed at an old locust tree a hundred paces away.

As his vital energy surged, the muscles on his arm knotted. He instantly drew the Meteor Bow to its full extent, like a new moon. The arrowhead glowed with a faint red light and, with a WHOOSH, it tore through the air!

The bowstring snapped like thunder, the arrow flew like a shooting star!

The next moment, the trunk of the locust tree, so thick it would take three people to encircle it, was pierced straight through by the arrow!

The Black Kite Arrow’s momentum didn’t falter after piercing the large tree; it buried itself in another tree behind it.

Chu Fan lowered his bow, his fingertips brushing over the Water Buffalo Horn inlays on the bow’s limb. He murmured, "Worth the price."

He walked over, carefully pulled out the Black Kite Arrow, and wiped the wood splinters from its tip.

After all, at two taels of silver a piece, it would be a shame to damage one.

...

When Chu Fan returned to his quarters at the Seven Stars Gang carrying his bow and arrows, Zhao Tianxing was just fastening his belt, preparing to go out. The Bengyue Bow was slung over his shoulder.

Seeing that Chu Fan also had a new bow, Zhao Tianxing immediately came closer, his eyes shining. "That bow of yours looks extraordinary! Where’d you get it? How much silver did it cost?"

Chu Fan recounted the story of buying the bow and arrows in detail, not leaving out the Meteor Bow’s Purple Fir Wood core or the Black Kite Arrow’s hundred-forged refined iron.

Zhao Tianxing gasped. "A bow and a few dozen arrows cost that much silver? That’s way too expensive! My Bengyue Bow didn’t cost me a single coin!"

’That one really hit where it hurt...’

Chu Fan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Zhao Tianxing’s Bengyue Bow was a gift from Master Chen Xuan of the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall, and it was likely worth much more than this Meteor Bow.

Chu Fan had also considered it. He could ask Master Cao for an introduction, show off some of his archery talent to the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall, and then, after some time, reveal his Moon Eclipse Arrow technique. Perhaps he too could have gotten a powerful bow from that Master Chen.

But he was going to make a move on the Blood Saber Sect tomorrow; there just wasn’t enough time.

Oh well. ’Any money spent now, I’ll just have to get it back from the Blood Saber Sect later. No need to get too hung up on it.’

Chu Fan stroked the body of the bow, his gaze darkening. "In a fight between Martial Artists, life and death are decided in an instant."

"Now that my archery is accomplished, with this bow in hand, I can even hold my own against experts one or two realms above me."

’A gap of one or two realms is just a couple of hurdles, not an insurmountable chasm.’

Not to mention, several of his Martial Arts had reached Perfection and Broken their Limits, and he was bolstered by Traits like Vajra Iron Fist and Light as a Feather.

He changed the subject, looking at Zhao Tianxing. "Are you heading out?"

Zhao Tianxing nodded, hefting the bow on his shoulder. "I was just about to go to the Moon Arrow Martial Arts Hall to practice my archery."

Chu Fan said, "Don’t go today. Tomorrow morning, come with me. We’re going to pull a big score!"

"A big score?" Zhao Tianxing’s pupils contracted, and he lowered his voice. "You’re planning to move against the Blood Saber Sect?"

"You’re usually such a carefree goofball, but you’re surprisingly sharp." Chu Fan smiled and patted his shoulder. "How’d you guess?"

Zhao Tianxing raised an eyebrow. "Is that a compliment or an insult?"

"Does it even require guessing? The Blood Saber Sect has lost three Hall Masters and only has two left. I heard their Gang Leader was injured, too. They’re at their weakest."

"They’re a huge piece of fat meat right now. Who knows how many powers in Cyan Yang City have their eyes on them!"

"But just the two of us..." Zhao Tianxing trailed off, his tone hesitant.

Chu Fan hurriedly pulled him inside. "What, you think I’m crazy? That I’d take you to charge into the Blood Saber Sect’s Main Altar?"

"Of course we’ll start with a Blood Saber Sect Sub-Branch."

"Both of our archery skills are well-developed. If we work together, we can easily take down even a Bone Tempering Realm expert."

"We’ll start with the Fishermen’s Pier outside the city. I’m familiar with the terrain there. I know every alley and hidden ditch like the back of my hand, which will make it easy to strike."

"Alright!" Zhao Tianxing’s eyes flashed with excitement, and he slapped his thigh. "Just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it!"

The two of them sat down at the table and began to discuss the details.

In truth, Chu Fan had considered acting alone. ’With my current strength, even if I run into someone from the Entering the Realm of Strength, I’m confident I can escape even if I can’t win.’

’Bringing Zhao Tianxing along might just drag Tianxing into danger.’
