Chapter 161: Chapter 123 Liu Family’s Private Feud! Killed by an Arrow! _2

Having heard of the deeds of Master Wu Chang in recent days, a chill ran through his heart, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

As the figure on horseback continued to approach.

He finally saw clearly that tied behind the horse was a string of objects, which were actually a sequence of heads!

In an instant, his complexion greatly changed.

But before he could react.

He saw a crossbow arrow suddenly shot from above the city walls, falling downwards!

Then he saw Master Wu Chang, who looked like a young man, stretch out his right hand and casually pinch the crossbow arrow, looking toward where it came from.

"Are you Master Wu Chang?"

Atop the city wall, the young Colonel Liu, bolstered by the influence of alcohol, laughed proudly and said, "I’ve heard you’re quite capable, that waste Liu Yi was also slain by you..."

He drew his bow and shot another arrow toward Lin Yan.

Lin Yan remained expressionless, tilting his head to avoid it.

Allowing the arrow to whistle past the side of his cheek.

"Not bad, avoiding my two arrows!"

Seeing this, the young Colonel Liu grew more interested and haughtily said, ""Boy! Although Liu Yi would have eventually been killed by me, he was still a direct descendant of the Liu Family. You dared to kill him, showing no respect for my Liu Family. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson!"

He drew his bow again and shot continuously!

In a mere few breaths’ time.

He shot twelve arrows.

"Last time you entered the inner city, my brothers intended to trouble you, but unexpectedly, you moved into the Observatory Headquarters!"

"Good, today you brazenly stormed the city and killed so many, this Colonel can make his mark!"

"Tomorrow, I’ll take your head to mock those brothers’ incompetence!"

Only to hear Colonel Liu shoot out the thirteenth arrow!

There sat Lin Yan on his horse, still showing no change of expression, slightly moved his body, and slapped downward.

Knocking down the arrow!

"Impressive! Take my final arrow!"

Liu’s young eyes sparkled as he said, "Since my birth, there haven’t been many of my peers who could take this ’Four Symbols Divine Arrow’!"

He drew his bow again!

But before this arrow could be shot!

At the foot of the city, Lin Yan casually raised a small crossbow, triggering it!

With a whoosh!

A small but swift crossbow arrow ripped through the air!

Under the illumination of the lights, it directly embedded in the forehead of young Liu.

"What nonsense divine arrow..."

Lin Yan had no interest in experiencing the so-called Four Symbols Divine Arrow.

He simply confirmed that the opponent was not shooting this arrow for official city defense but out of personal grudge over the issue with Liu Yi!

Noticing the alcohol fumes, it was clear that this was another of the major family’s descendants who, in the ’safe environment’ of the inner city, merely went through the motions within the City Defense Army, preparing for promotion!

"Such vermin, utterly disgrace the word ’defense’!"

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze, saw the soldiers on the city wall all alert.

Without further words, he drew his sword, pointed towards the city gate, and announced, "I enter the city for one purpose, to handle a case!"

"Tonight if the gate does not open, I myself will break through it!"

"This city gate, this city wall, was once the shield protecting the survival of the Human Clan!"

"But it must not become the armor for those wrongdoers within the inner city!"

Lin Yan dismounted, holding his treasured night blade, and proclaimed loudly, "Anyone who dares to obstruct, kill!"

——

Inner city, Observatory.

"Report! General Flag Envoy Wu Chang has killed his way out of Anle Building!"

"Report! The newly appointed Commander of the Outer South Government Office was sliced off an arm by General Flag Envoy Wu Chang... Right now, General Flag Envoy Wu Chang, from the heavy encirclement of the Outer South Government Office, is heading to the inner city!"

"Report! General Flag Envoy Wu Chang has reached the inner city, shot the City Defense Colonel with an arrow, and intends to forcefully assault the city!"

"Report..."

Information from the outside world kept coming, one report after another.

The Commander closed his eyes slightly, his expression serene.

"Has Zhou Yuan arrived?"

"Deputy Commander Zhou has already arrived at the southern city head,"

"Then that’s good, you may leave."

The Commander waved his hand, his tone somewhat complex.

At that moment, the old man popped his head out and said with a chuckle, "I quite like this brute..."

"It’s exactly this temper that gets him killed quickly," the Commander shook his head and said.

"Weren’t you the one who chose him to be the sword hanging over High Willow City?" the old man scoffed, "What he did tonight exactly aligns with what you said that day!"

"Nonsense! I chose the ’brute’ who assassinated Colonel Wang Yuan to be that sword hanging over the city!" the Commander said, annoyed, "Who asked him to act as that sword under the identity of the General Flag Envoy of the Observatory?"

"But isn’t the identity of the Observatory just that sword?" the old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Killing as a ’brute’ is criminal and provokes the upper echelons of the Human Clan! Acting under the name of the Observatory gives legitimacy to his killing! This kid is much smarter than you think!"

"This matter involves too much; he acted too hastily, without time to plan... After tonight, our Observatory will have to shield him from the consequences!" the Commander said gravely, "The pressure on me is not small."

"Isn’t this the scene you wanted to see?"

The old man said, "He stirred up such a storm, the news will surely reach Qifeng Prefecture City! From tonight onward, you can logically push for a thorough investigation into the city’s expansion and the embezzlement of materials..."

The Commander nodded slightly and responded, "That is indeed true! Although he acted too rashly, he demonstrated the authority that the Observatory should have!"

Saying this, the Commander continued, "But at this point, as a General Flag Envoy, he has almost completed the task; next, it’s our turn."

After pondering, the old man asked, "Wu Chang plans to kill his way into the inner city, executing each person on the list! Are you planning to have Zhou Yuan do this?"

"No! I must do it myself!"

The Commander slowly said, "After all, Zhou Yuan is a junior; he is young and can live longer than me!"

He then sighed and said, "His aspirations, though different from mine, make him a suitable candidate to one day succeed as the Commander of the Observatory!"

"The events of tonight will certainly offend half of the high-level powers in the inner city, which is not advantageous for Zhou Yuan’s future role at the Observatory."

"Actually, as the Supreme Commander, I also shouldn’t personally handle this."

"But I am about to die. Facing an enemy who is about to die, they will endure a bit."

"And it just so happens, through this incident, I will show them just how fierce a pinnacle of the Qi Refining Realm can be!"

The Commander drew his sword and said solemnly, "My sword hasn’t tasted blood in a long time."

After thinking, the old man said, "After tonight, the prestige of the Observatory will return to its former state, at least maintaining a deterrent effect on various powers until you die..."

"Actually, I could live a couple more years,"

the Commander said with a smile, "But tonight’s affair won’t suppress them for two years! Thus, I must tell them I can only live for another six months!"

"Holding them off for six months, that’s about right."

The old man nodded and then said, "Before you die, go meet with the current city defender! And for the Great Temple Priest, I will personally visit him!"

"Matters after six months can be put on hold for later."

Armed with his sword, the Commander walked outside and called out, "Bring me my jade lion!"

——

Meanwhile, beneath the city walls of the inner city.

Lin Yan wielded his blade, its glow like water, repelling thousands of arrows from touching him.

He charged to the city gate, raised his sword, and was about to strike.

But before the blade could fall, a hand grasped his wrist.

"That’s enough,"

Zhou Yuan’s voice was gentle as he smiled and said, "Give me the list, and I’ll take care of the rest..."

He turned to Lin Yan and slowly said, "Return to the Outer South Bureau; you’ve done a great service today, which I will report to Qifeng Prefecture City!"

"Great service?"

Lin Yan said, "Isn’t what I did tonight a great crime?"

"Upholding the law, what crime is there?"

Deputy Commander Zhou slowly reached out his hand.

True Qi burst forth, forcefully pushing open the city gates.

He straightened his clothes and then said, "I, Zhou Yuan, in collaboration with Wu Chang, the General Flag Envoy, am handling this case!"

"By the order of the General Flag Envoy, anyone who obstructs, kill!"
