Bo Yan's mission was only to capture Li Junqing alive.
So, he left the others behind and immediately chased after Li Junqing.
As for the others' lives, they were none of his concern.
Moreover, four experienced Snow Ridge hunters dealing with an unarmed youth was like hunting prey, easily able to kill him.
Li Junqing, like him, was a Ninth Grade Martial Artist.
But before this, facing the five of them together, Li Junqing was no match, and could only flee, eventually falling into an ice pit.
Bo Yan initially thought Li Junqing was dead, that the mission had failed.
But when they used ropes and ice picks to slowly descend into the pit, they found that Li Junqing had already disappeared, not even his body was there.
Bo Yan realized that Li Junqing must still be alive!
The environment of the Three Thousand Snow Ridges is treacherous, with beasts roaming.
Li Junqing was injured, having long abandoned her belongings, with no weapons or provisions, in the cold and freezing conditions, she had to leave the snow ridges as soon as possible to survive.
Thus, after discussing with the four hunters, he chose the path and ambushed this place, waiting quietly.
Sure enough, the main target arrived!
As for the youth in front, Bo Yan paid him no heed, simply wishing to kill him to avoid trouble.
"You can't escape!"
Seeing Li Junqing limping toward the forest, Bo Yan shouted, extending his hand, forming his fingers into claws, grabbing towards Li Junqing's shoulder!
Whish!
Suddenly!
A strange sound came from beside his ear.
Bo Yan's expression changed, hurriedly halting his steps, twisting his body sideways, and with his other hand, slashing down hard!
Crack!
With one slash, he hit the tail of the Feathered Arrow, the blade sharp, directly cutting the Feathered Arrow in half.
Bo Yan's whole body shuddered, his face changed dramatically.
This arrow sent a cold sweat down his back.
This slash hit the tail of the arrow.
This meant that if he had been a little slower, the Feathered Arrow would have pierced past his blade and through his head!
Even scarier was the tremendous power emanating from this Feathered Arrow.
Holding the knife in one hand and slashing at the Feathered Arrow, he actually felt his arm go slightly numb!
Bo Yan looked toward the direction the Feathered Arrow was shot from, his pupils contracted.
The youth not only wasn't dead, but holding a bow and arrow, was charging this way, with a cold expression, murderous intent obvious!
Behind him, three hunters were also running over.
The youth was just barehanded before, and now suddenly had a bow and arrow, with one less hunter...
In less than three breaths of time, this youth had killed and taken a bow?
Who was this person?
Several thoughts flashed in Bo Yan's mind, as the youth closed in by a few more steps.
If he hadn't had to leap and roll, dodging the Feathered Arrows shot by the three hunters, the youth might have reached him already!
Bo Yan hesitated slightly, but still ignored the youth, turning to enter the forest, chasing after Li Junqing.
Li Junqing was his target this trip.
As long as the three hunters stalled for a moment, he could capture Li Junqing alive, taking the upper hand!
Bo Yan hadn't been in the forest long when Chen Tang and the three hunters also burst into the woods one after another.
Within the forest, the threat of bows and arrows was significantly reduced.
Every ancient tree could be used as cover to hide.
As long as Chen Tang moved quickly through the trees, it would be hard for the three hunters to hit him even if they aimed.
After entering the forest, Chen Tang turned, using the trees as cover to actively approach the three hunters.
The three hunters saw a figure flash by, and without thinking, raised their hands for a shot.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
These Feathered Arrows all missed, merely hitting the tree trunks, unable to hurt Chen Tang at all.
The distance between the two sides kept closing.
In a flash, Chen Tang was less than fifty steps away from one of the hunters!
Both were hiding behind large trees.
This hunter slightly turned, revealing half his body, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow, aiming at the tree Chen Tang was hiding behind.
The bow was like a full moon!
The hunter focused entirely, even in the dead of winter, his forehead was beaded with sweat!
He was unmoved, unblinking!
Calm in heart, eyes steady, hands steady.
Years of experience gave him great confidence in his archery.
He dared to guarantee that as soon as Chen Tang appeared, his arrow would hit!
Within fifty steps, dodging a full-force arrow would be nigh impossible!
"I've got him locked on!"
This hunter suddenly shouted aloud: "Hurry up and come here!"
At this moment, the shadow behind the big tree flickered!
Whoosh!
The hunter, extremely tense, saw the shadow, and without thinking, released his fingers, the arrow shot forth like a meteor!
Bad!
The hunter felt a sinking feeling just after releasing the arrow.
Chen Tang hadn't actually appeared.
He had just flickered momentarily, deliberately showing a flaw!
As he released his arrow, Chen Tang dashed out from the other side of the tree, a Feathered Arrow already nocked!
Whish!
Almost simultaneously.
The hunter's shot Feathered Arrow grazed past the bark.
Chen Tang's Feathered Arrow pierced through the hunter's throat!
Thunk!
The blood-stained Feathered Arrow pierced through the hunter, with some force remaining, and hit the tree trunk behind him.
The arrow tail quivering slightly, a few drops of fresh blood dripped onto the snow.
"I was right, at this distance, an arrow shot is indeed unavoidable..."
The hunter's last thoughts flashed through his mind as he fell dead.
The other two hunters, having just arrived nearby and about to assist, saw this and were shocked.
The two hurriedly found a nearby tree to hide behind, not daring to make a rash move.
Both had seen clearly that their companion was being exceedingly cautious, only revealing half of his body, yet still was killed with one arrow!
This youth's archery was stronger than theirs!
"Bo Yan, hurry up, we can't hold on..."
One hunter hiding behind a tree shouted loudly.
Thud!
His voice suddenly stopped!
A Feathered Arrow penetrated the tree trunk, the arrowhead piercing the hunter's skull.
This person's eyes widened in a daze, his face full of terror, slain on the spot!
In his earlier panic, he had found a tree nearby to hide behind.
But this tree trunk wasn't thick enough, and given the short distance, Chen Tang's shot penetrated through both the tree trunk and the man!
In the blink of an eye, only one of the four hunters remained.
The remaining person was pale with fright, filled with a desire to retreat.
Actively attacking, only to be counter-killed with a single arrow.
Hidden behind a tree, still being pierced through with an arrow.
Who had they encountered?
Who was truly the prey?
This person hid his entire body away, not daring to show his head, only shooting wildly in Chen Tang's direction!
Then, without looking back, he fled towards the forest's edge.
Whoosh!
The sound of a sharp arrow cutting through the air!
This hunter, being quite experienced, rolled as he thoughtlessly moved.
As soon as he got up, tremendous force hit his back, followed by a stinging pain that pierced the core!
His body was completely out of control, soaring into the air, thrown forward.
He gritted his teeth against the severe pain and looked down subconsciously.
A Feathered Arrow had already pierced through his chest!
The arrow shaft tainted with crimson blood.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several more breaking sounds rang out.
Several Feathered Arrows came successively, the immense impact lifted his body, pinning him firmly to an ancient tree!
All four hunters perished in the snow ridges!
