The Return of the Demon

#1207 - Sharpshooter

“Friends outside, we are going to stay here tonight. If you are not afraid of freezing to death, you can continue to collect the fruits outside.

But I want to tell you, if you dare to step into this store, you will die."

Ning Chen shouted outside and searched the body of the dead man in black. Not finding anything useful, he kicked the body out.

Soon, he came to the room.

The room was not big, with a clay stove inside. The fire was burning brightly, and on top of it was a pot with sliced ​​bacon cooking in it.

The boy got his monthly salary today, and secretly bought some bacon and wine to reward himself. He didn't expect that this incident would happen just after he put the bacon into the pot.

There's not much bacon, and the wine isn't very old?

Because the monthly salary of a waiter is not high, it is barely enough to make a living.

Ning Chen naturally wouldn't eat for free, so he threw a few pieces of silver to the waiter.

The guy refused to accept it, saying that Ning Chen had saved him and he couldn't ask for money anymore, so he had to pay for the meal.

Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Very likely."

"Then why do they insist on having my jade pendant?"

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Maybe it has something to do with a legend."

"What legend?"

"Legend has it that there are two jade pendants, called Tianyang Diyin Pendants. When the two jade pendants are combined into one, they have the ability to reverse time and space."

Feng Qizheng's eyes widened. "What the hell? Reversing time and space? Isn't this nonsense?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's quite ridiculous, but sometimes nonsense can be true."

Feng Qizheng said: "I understand. Do they think that my jade pendant is one of the Tianyang Diyin pendants?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

Feng Qizheng curled his lips in disdain and complained: "These people must be mentally ill."

Ning Chen smiled and was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Be careful!"

Whoosh!!!

A cold light suddenly fell from the sky and pierced through the iron pot.

The soup in the pot slipped into the fire in the clay stove, making a constant squeaking sound, stirring up a lot of thick smoke and a pungent smell.

Ning Chen looked up and saw that someone had shot an arrow through the roof.

Feng Qizheng also noticed this and couldn't help but say, "What a strong arm."

Ordinary arrows would bounce off the green tiles on the roof.

This arrow actually pierced through the roof. Even Feng Qizhen praised the opponent's arm strength, which shows that the archer is indeed extraordinary.

Whoosh!!!

Another sharp arrow shot through the roof and fell down.

The arrow flew straight towards Ning Chen's head.

Swish!!!

The remnant dream is unsheathed.

With a clang, the arrow was cut off by a sword.

"Shh..." Ning Chen made a gesture to silence the crowd, waved his hand to extinguish the oil lamp, and said in a low voice: "The other party can identify the location by sound, don't talk."

The room fell into darkness.

I thought I could hide in this store and everything would be fine until dawn.

I didn't expect that the other side actually had a sharpshooter.

Hiding like this is not a solution, Ning Chen lowered his voice and said, "Old Feng, you wait here, I'll go out and take a look."

"I'll go with you."

"No, just hide. I didn't tell you not to come out."

Feng Qizhen was born with extraordinary strength and was quite skilled, but flexibility was his weakness.

There are many archers hiding in secret, including a sharpshooter. If Feng Qizheng goes out rashly, he will easily get hurt.

Ning Chen walked towards the door with light steps. He did not go through the back door, but came to the main door. Then he rushed out like a ghost. In two jumps, he arrived in front of the shop opposite. He jumped and jumped onto the roof opposite.

There were indeed several archers hiding behind the roof.

Ning Chen's sudden appearance surprised them, and they subconsciously headed towards Ning Chen's room.

Ning Chen used the dragonfly steps and his agile movements to easily dodge the arrows. Then, before they could shoot the second arrow, he had already approached.

In the dark night, the cold light is biting.

One sword, one.

The six archers were good at archery but their physical skills were not good enough. Before they could shoot the second arrow, they were all killed by Ning Chen's sword.

Just when Ning Chen killed the sixth one, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and struck with a sword.

clang!!!

A burst of sparks flew in the darkness.

An arrow was deflected, but it made Ning Chen's sword clang and his knuckles felt like they were being torn apart.

Ning Chen was startled and turned around abruptly.

Sharp sounds of breaking through the air were heard at the same time.

Three arrows, in the shape of a V-shaped character, shot out under the cover of darkness, turning into cold rays of light.

Ning Chen thrust out his sword, and the tip of the sword formed a sword flower.

Ding ding ding!!!

All three arrows were knocked away.

On the roof opposite, a figure pounced to the ground, and while in the air, shot another arrow at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen swung his sword to block the arrow.

But the person on the opposite roof had already landed on the ground, took a running start, and jumped onto the roof where Ning Chen was.

When he showed his head, he instinctively shot an arrow towards Ning Chen.

Ning Chen turned sideways and swung his sword, knocking the arrow away.

But the opponent's archery skills were really amazing. From taking arrows from the quiver to bending the bow and putting the arrow on it, he did it all in one go, smoothly and at a speed that was breathtaking.

The bow in his hand was larger and heavier than an ordinary bow.

But he bent the bow and drew the arrow, and each arrow was shot into a full circle with great ease, showing his extraordinary arm strength.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Arrows broke through the air and shot towards Ning Chen.

Such a close distance made Ning Chen unable to get close and he was forced to defend.

After more than a dozen arrows were fired, Ning Chen was forced to the edge of the eaves.

The other party stood on the roof, bent the bow and drew the arrow, aiming at Ning Chen, but did not release the arrow.

He looked at Ning Chen and said, "With a tiger back, bee waist, and mantis legs, he is indeed the regent of Daxuan, who is famous and heroic.

I have no intention of hurting anyone, I am here only to take something, please grant me your favor, Lord Regent."

Ning Chen also narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person. Although this man was dressed in black, he did not cover his face with a black cloth... He had a square face, sword-like eyebrows, and sharp eyes, appearing to be very resolute and upright.

"Big Xuanren?"

The latter nodded, "Yes!"

Ning Chen sneered and said, "The Great Xuan people came to Wu Kingdom and murdered me, the regent. You are really capable."

"It's hard to be both loyal and righteous. I know that if I attack the Regent, my fellow jianghu people will despise me... But I owe someone a huge favor, and I have to repay it. I beg the Regent to forgive me.

I don't want to hurt the prince. As long as the prince hands over what I want, I will retreat immediately... If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely apologize in person."

Ning Chen asked: "That jade pendant?"

"yes!"

"Who entrusted you with this?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

Ning Chen sneered: "You will never get that jade pendant."

The latter said in a deep voice: "Please don't embarrass me, Your Majesty. I don't want to hurt you."

Ning Chen slowly raised his sword, "You don't want to, but you can't hurt me... Do you really think the sword in my hand is just for show?"

"My bow and arrow are not for display."

Ning Chen snorted and said, "Then let's see who's the real deal. If you're really capable, you can take the jade pendant... I'm afraid you won't be able to take the jade pendant, and you'll have to leave your life behind."
