49 Ge Liangping’s words were cut short when an arrow pierced through his head, violently penetrating between his brows.
“Ugh…” Blood madly surged from the wound in Ge Liangping’s forehead.
This high-ranking official hadn’t even finished speaking before he was killed by an arrow through the head!
Lin Shuang’s pupils shrank, and he abruptly turned his head to look a thousand meters away!
“Whoosh…!” Another arrow came hurtling at high speed!
This time, the target was Lin Shuang!
“Clang!” Lin Shuang fiercely swung his blade, violently blocking the incoming arrow!
As the arrow hit the ground, its shaft instantly corroded the ceramic tiles beneath it to black.
The shaft of this arrow was smeared with a copious amount of deadly poison.
Fortunately, Lin Shuang hadn’t caught it with his bare hands, or his palm would have been tainted with the lethal poison.
Lin Shuang locked his gaze a thousand meters away!
A kilometer away, atop an office building, stood a man in black, an archer on the rooftop with a huge compound crossbow in hand!
The man once again drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and targeted Lin Shuang!
Lin Shuang’s face showed furious anger!
Ge Liangping had only shared half of his message before someone silenced him!
The bowman’s weapon was coated with a lethal poison, indicating he was likely an assassin sent by the secret forces of the Imperial Capital!
“Whoosh…!” The archer shot another arrow!
The long arrow exploded towards Lin Shuang!
The third arrow…
was cleaved in two by Lin Shuang’s blade!
A kilometer away, the archer’s pupils contracted!
Without any hesitation, he turned and fled, his figure disappearing from the rooftop!
Two consecutive attacks had failed!
Knowing he couldn’t kill Lin Shuang and his position now compromised, the archer only had the option to evacuate.
Without hesitation, Lin Shuang leapt from the window and plummeted down towards the building a hundred meters below!
As he descended rapidly, the Ghost Crying Dagger slashed fiercely into the concrete exterior of the building.
The Ghost Crying Dagger sliced through the exterior wall, reducing much of the impact from Lin Shuang’s fall.
“Boom!” Lin Shuang’s body slammed onto the ground beneath the building, the floor collapsing beneath him on impact.
The soldiers of the military group below were all stunned, unable to react.
This maniac had just jumped from a building a hundred meters high and survived?
“Make way for me!” Lin Shuang shouted angrily at Lucifer!
Lucifer, along with 900 Dead Servants, charged forward, cutting a bloody path through the dense crowd of soldiers!
Lin Shuang sliced his way through the crowd and headed toward that office building a kilometer away!
The soldiers, witnessing this, rushed into the building in an attempt to save Lord Ge Liangping!
However, when the soldiers reached the rooftop and saw Lord Ge Liangping’s corpse, every member of the group shook with fear!
The regional king, Lord Ge Liangping, had been assassinated with a single arrow and was dead??
…
A kilometer away, Lin Shuang moved with explosive speed and within two minutes…
he arrived at the base of that office building.
Meanwhile, the male archer was on his way down.
He had changed his clothes and donned a sanitation worker’s uniform, pushing a garbage bin, pretending to be a cleaner, making his escape from the building.
Lin Shuang, moving swiftly, rushed into the building and brushed past the sanitation worker.
As they passed by each other, Lin Shuang abruptly turned around…
his dagger thrusting viciously at the sanitation worker!
The male archer’s disguise couldn’t fool Lin Shuang’s discerning eye!
“Clang…!” At that moment, the sanitation worker also spun around, pulling a metal compound crossbow from the trash bin to block Lin Shuang’s attack.
With a vicious, cold sneer, the archer yanked open the compound crossbow!
“Whoosh!” A metal arrow shot out at close range toward Lin Shuang!
Lin Shuang dodged swiftly to the side!
“Boom…!” The metal arrow pierced through a concrete wall behind Lin Shuang, continuing to punch through another two walls…
The power of that single arrow was immense.
“Clang clang clang!” The archer used the metal longbow as a weapon, clashing violently with Lin Shuang!
Then he seized the opportunity to retreat, creating distance from Lin Shuang.
He was an archer who needed to fight from a distance.
“Whoosh, whoosh!” The archer took advantage of the distance and shot two arrows fiercely at Lin Shuang!
Lin Shuang’s blade cleaved the two arrows in half!
But his wrist, holding the blade, was starting to ache slightly.
This archer’s strength was terrifyingly formidable!
Among the assassins Lin Shuang had encountered in Yanxia, this one was among the strongest.
Lin Shuang stared at the man before him, finally recognizing the identity of this male archer!
“The assassin ranked 49th on Yanxia’s killer list, Galuo?
Heh, I did not expect even you to serve that organization,” Lin Shuang said coldly, mocking as he cleaved the archer’s arrow in two, recognizing the man’s identity.
