Chapter 159: Chapter 139: Three Against One, Counterkilled

Li Shanfu had absolute confidence in his arrows.

Even when he was just a regular archer, his arrows could accurately pierce through the gaps in armor. After mastering how to infuse his arrows with Evil Qi, his arrows could penetrate armor, and even the bravest warriors clad in two or three layers of armor would be pinned to the ground by his arrows.

Now, having risen to the rank of a fourth-grade official, he had even shot down a master who could emit Evil Qi externally. In front of his arrows, the opponent’s protective Evil Qi, much tougher than armor, was as fragile as paper.

Arrows were the mightiest weapon, Li Shanfu firmly believed.

So, what is happening in this current situation?

"You... how is this possible?"

Staring at the figure not far away grasping an arrow, Li Shanfu’s eyes widened in shock.

"Impossible! How did you do that?"

"I practiced martial arts for a while."

The burly figure in an old robe casually threw the arrow to the side and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Du Chengfeng. I should be the one you’re looking for... but why are there only three of you? Never mind, that’s not important."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng continued to walk forward.

"I’m here to reason with you. I didn’t kill Qian Jin; this matter has nothing to do with me. Do you want to believe me?"

"...???"

Li Shanfu and his two colleagues exchanged glances, all finding this situation rather preposterous.

According to common sense, the traitor should be hiding in the city, relying on the dense population of Yizhou City to wage a great battle against them. After a challenging battle, they would ultimately slay the traitors within the city—though some damage to Yizhou City would be expected; battles can’t avoid casualties.

But now, one of the rebels had stepped forward, standing right in front of them.

Even empty-handed.

"Could it be a trap?"

The three generals immediately thought of this. After all, the situation was too bizarre—if one person draws their attention while another prepares an ambush from the side, it would make sense.

However, they found nothing.

They found no trace of possible ambushers, not even the keenest General Jishen Li Shanfu saw any sign of a possible ambush.

This man claiming to be Du Chengfeng truly came alone.

"Is he crazy?"

The three generals couldn’t help but feel bewildered.

But soon, they were at ease.

Indeed, common folk like this, not to mention emitting Evil Qi externally, even those who can assimilate Evil Qi into their bodies are seldom not mad—after all, these commoners do not know etiquette, nor understand hierarchy, their minds occupied with petty obsessions. Even if they are lucky enough to emit Evil Qi externally, they lack the strong conviction to support it.

How could one not go mad after gaining such power?

"Looks like this task will be quite easy."

The leader Zhang Lan pulled a cold smile.

"Get ready to start."

"I thought I could kill more..."

Cai Yi, carrying a pair of large hammers, seemed a bit disappointed.

"Never mind, let’s kill this one first, then we’ll have more chances in the city."

"..."

Li Shanfu, nocking his tailored Feathered Arrow, remained silent, only aiming once more at the figure not far away.

Unlike his two companions, he had already confronted this Du Chengfeng before and thus knew the situation was far less optimistic than his colleagues thought.

To catch his Feathered Arrow with bare hands was no ordinary feat of emitting Evil Qi externally.

Therefore, this time, he drew a total of five arrows.

"Twang——"

The bowstring sung, the arrows were lightning.

Five Continuous Arrows flew almost simultaneously, powerful enough to pierce metal and stone!

With five arrows, but only two hands to catch.

"Come on! Catch them again for me to see... huh?"

Before his words finished, Li Shanfu was taken aback.

The five arrows, this time, did hit, but only the old robe.

Where was the person inside the robe?

"Look out! He’s coming over!"

At this moment, Zhang Lan spurred his horse, spear in hand, charging forward.

Seeing the sudden start of a fight at the city gate, the common folk on the official road scattered and fled—but even at their fastest escape, the fierce spear wind sliced through them, shredding their frail flesh.

Even Du Chengfeng, who was using Tiger Leap Flying Pounce to advance, was stunned in place.

"You all..."

"Don’t let him blend into the crowd."

Zhang Lan, spear in hand, charged tirelessly.

"Cai Yi, Old Li, clear the field."

"Just what I was waiting for!"

Cai Yi, also on horseback, leaped high like a meteor streaking through the sky.

Soon after, the fierce meteor, along with the large double hammer, smashed at the city gate.

"Boom——"

With a hammer strike, the people attempting to squeeze into the city to escape were torn to pieces by the vicious hammer wind.

The spattering blood stained the city gate red.

The soldiers guarding the city wall had their heads blown off by the invisible fierce attack.

This was Li Shanfu’s handiwork; such minor soldiers were not worth his arrows.

"You..."

Staring at the three generals who had thoroughly surrounded him, Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded.
