Chapter 2187 The Assassin Who Wielded the Xuanyuan Bow

Ding!
An arrow flew through the left side of the carriage like lightning, heading straight for Feng Jiuxiao's face. At the last second, Feng Jiuxiao cleaved it away with a single strike!

Feng Jiuxiao's gaze was icy as he looked out through the hole pierced by the arrow. He saw a vast expanse of sky and earth outside the carriage, and a figure standing on the rocky bank a hundred feet away, seemingly inspecting the results of the battle!
But when he saw the blond-haired coachman seem to glance back, then continue driving without stopping, he realized that the coachman was simply looking back.

Was there no one in the car? Impossible! I saw You Jiuxiao get into the car with my own eyes!
Could it be—

Missed?

Thinking of this, he turned and left!
If the first strike fails, retreat immediately!
This is the assassin's creed!
Feng Jiuxiao sneered, "Damn it, you think you can just leave after hitting me with an arrow?" He lifted the curtain and lightly jumped out of the carriage, landing on the lake. The moment his feet touched the snow, the Zhentian Bow was already aimed at that figure!
Based on the unique spiraling energy of that arrow, he had already recognized the assassin's origin!

Although there are countless masters of archery in the world, only three families can dominate the martial arts world with their archery skills!
The Li family of northern Shaanxi, the Chang family of northern Shanxi, and the Wuertai family of northern Inner Mongolia!
In recent years, the most famous one is none other than Chang Er from Jinzhong!
The bow can pierce the setting sun, and the arrow can pierce the clouds!
Unfortunately, the path of the martial world is a one-way street! Arrogance brings rain, and madness brings disaster! Chang Er, a ruthless killer, ultimately could not escape his fate of dying at the hands of others!

He who kills will be killed by others!
Feng Jiuxiao concluded that this person was a disciple of the Li family in northern Shaanxi!
The longbow he used was most likely the Xuanyuan Divine Bow!

That spiraling force can only be unleashed when the Xuanyuan Bow is used in conjunction with the Zhentian Arrow!

Moreover, the two sides were about 100 zhang apart, which is equivalent to a range of 200 paces. Ordinary bows and crossbows could not withstand such strong pulling force!

The assassin ran desperately, but after only a few steps, he suddenly felt a tightness in his back!
He felt like he was locked on!
Startled, he immediately stopped in his tracks!
Sweat started to bead on my forehead!
The feeling of being remotely targeted is strange, eerie, and terrifying!
He had no doubt about the reality of the threat behind him! He was certain that no matter how he dodged, that person was destined to pierce his heart with an arrow!

"Turn around!"

A cold voice clearly entered my ears from behind! The voice was soft yet clear, seemingly right next to me!

Holy crap! What's going on? That person can "teleport"?
He was certain that the person who spoke was Feng Jiuxiao!

A hundred zhang in one step? Is this the legendary shrinking of the earth to an inch?
His back was soaked with sweat as he slowly turned around!
He was taken aback when he turned around!
There was nothing behind me!

He then focused his gaze on a hundred feet away, where he saw the caravan moving forward calmly and slowly. The figure who had just jumped out of the carriage was now as still as a mountain, holding a longbow and aiming it at him!

The man was dressed in white, as if he had blended into the ground. His posture seemed casual, but he exuded an aura of dominance that could crush everything!

The assassin was somewhat surprised! Feng Jiuxiao was clearly still a hundred feet away, but his voice was gentle and clear, as if he were speaking right in front of him!

Is this the legendary "condensing sound into a thread, transmitting sound over a thousand miles"?
"Who are you?" the boy in white asked.

The assassin said tremblingly, "Li Hesong from the Li family in northern Shaanxi!" Being locked onto by the Heaven-Shaking Bow felt really uncomfortable.

Feng Jiuxiao shouted, "Your voice is so soft, haven't you eaten?"

The assassin shouted, "My name is Li Hesong!" He knew that if he didn't shout loudly, his voice would hardly travel a hundred feet! He couldn't possibly condense his sound into a line and transmit it over a thousand miles!
Feng Jiuxiao said, "Who sent you to assassinate me?"

The assassin remained silent!

Feng Jiuxiao said calmly, "I know even if you don't say it. It was your own idea, wasn't it?"

The assassin suddenly looked up, his face full of surprise: "How did you know?"

Feng Jiuxiao said calmly, "Your Li family hates me to death from top to bottom, but they're also terrified of me! Those old guys don't dare to cause me any trouble! They'll definitely tell you, 'Don't mess with me,' right?"

The young assassin felt as if he were completely naked in front of his opponent, with no privacy whatsoever. A strange sense of shame instantly overwhelmed him, even surpassing his initial fear!

He said in a trembling voice, "Yes!"

He dared not take any chances!

He finally understands that old saying now!
A thousand lectures are not as effective as experiencing it firsthand!
The elders in the family say that Feng Jiuxiao's arrows have never missed!
Be careful not to get targeted by Feng Jiuxiao!

Once he targets you, you'll be locked on!
But he just wouldn't believe it!

So many members of the Li family died at Feng Jiuxiao's hands; this is an irreconcilable feud! Why should we still avoid our enemy?
He was initially annoyed to see the elders avoiding the topic of Feng Jiuxiao, even showing fear on their faces! He cursed them inwardly as cowards! He looked down on them!

Therefore, he was eager to test Feng Jiuxiao's abilities for himself! He didn't believe that Feng Jiuxiao was really that powerful!
In order to kill with one blow, he stole the Xuanyuan Bow from the "Bow Tomb," a forbidden area of ​​the Li family!

This Xuanyuan Bow is not actually the legendary supreme artifact, the Xuanyuan Bow!
Legend has it that the Xuanyuan Bow was personally forged by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan in ancient times.

Ying Shao, the governor of Mount Tai during the Eastern Han Dynasty, recorded in his book "Customs and Traditions" that when the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven on a dragon, his dragon beard broke off, causing his bow and arrows to fall to earth. The people clung to the bow and wailed, forming the "Wuhao Bow".

The Xuanyuan Bow played a crucial role in the Yellow Emperor's unification of various tribes, especially in the war against Chiyou, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, where the Yellow Emperor's three arrows pierced Chiyou's heart, securing victory.

The Li family in northern Shaanxi claims to be descendants of the Tang Dynasty imperial family. In addition to inheriting the imperial surname of the Li family, they also inherited the Xuanyuan Bow, a divine artifact passed down by the Li imperial family for thousands of years!

However, according to insiders, the real Xuanyuan Bow disappeared when the Tang Dynasty palace was captured by Huang Chao. The Xuanyuan Bow that the Li family has now is actually a replica!

Of course, some people disagree with this statement, but some people have directly presented solid evidence - three identical Xuanyuan bows!
Even a fool knows there's only one Xuanyuan Bow, just like the Sunset Bow and the Dragon Tongue Bow—unique in the world! But now the Li family has three Xuanyuan Bows appearing at the same time. What does that mean?
Originally, the Li family did this very discreetly, making it difficult for outsiders to discover. However, things are unpredictable, and coincidences are inevitable. One time, members of the Li family appeared in three different places at the same time and used the Xuanyuan Bow to kill different people. It turned out that these people who were killed happened to be members of the same gang!
The deceased were all disciples of the Iron Horse Gang!
The survivors later described the killer and the murder weapon in great detail!

Iron Horse Gang Leader Liu Ruilin was initially just furious!
I immediately wanted to organize a group of people to take revenge!
However, the advisor discovered a problem from the disciples' descriptions!

According to the descriptions of his own disciples, the Li family disciples were all of average skill. The reason they were able to kill the Iron Horse disciple with a single blow must be that the crossbow they used was extraordinary!
He began to inquire in detail about the characteristics of the crossbows used by the Li family disciples, and immediately discovered something suspicious!

He began to suspect that his disciples' descriptions might be inaccurate!

But the disciples drew the Li family longbow that they had seen with their own eyes!

When the master saw the first disciple draw the features of the longbow, he immediately said, "As an ancient divine artifact, its bow body incorporates the spirit of the Five Sacred Mountains and the energy of the Four Rivers, which is in line with the idea of ​​the unity of heaven and man. That's right, there is a true image of the Five Sacred Mountains on it, and the four characters Jiang, He, Huai, and Ji. This is the Xuanyuan Bow!"

When he saw the bow design drawn by his second disciple, he was immediately dumbfounded! Impossible! The bow even had the true forms of the Five Sacred Mountains and the four characters for the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Ji River... Is this also the Xuanyuan Bow?
The third bow pattern is exactly the same!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
He immediately questioned, "How could you see the patterns on the bow from such a distance?"

The survivors' answers were almost identical!
The reason the patterns carved on the bow were visible was because they were discovered during the final close-quarters combat! The Iron Horse Gang members who died in that battle weren't just one! And not all of them were shot!
When the Li family disciples shot their first victim, the Iron Horse Gang members immediately divided their tasks: some were responsible for drawing fire from the front, while others were responsible for flanking from the flanks. Fortunately, the Iron Horse Gang members had a numerical advantage, otherwise… Of course, even so, when they got close to the Li family disciples, the enemy strangled two more Iron Horse Gang members to death with their bowstrings! The reason the pattern on the bow was clearly visible was because one of the survivors had almost been strangled to death!

The Li family disciples seemed to be shocked by the Iron Horse Gang disciples' desperate fighting spirit and were eventually frightened away! However, some Iron Horse Gang disciples said that the Li family members did not seem to be fleeing because they were afraid of dying, but rather because they were afraid that their longbows would fall into the hands of others and were desperately trying to escape!

After checking with the survivors several times, the advisor finally confirmed one thing!

The Li family possesses more than one Xuanyuan Bow!
In other words, this is not the real Xuanyuan Bow!

But the power of this bow is still astonishing! I wonder which master craftsman created it!
Of course, Feng Jiuxiao was unaware of this story.

All he knew was that the longbow in the hands of the young assassin was no ordinary weapon!

"Li Hesong, you think you can just leave after shooting me with an arrow?"

Li Hesong's forehead was beaded with sweat! Despite the cold weather, the sweat dried quickly in the wind!
He asked in a trembling voice, "Then... what do you want to do?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "A life for a life, a debt for a debt! I'll shoot you with an arrow!"

Li Hesong was startled, his face turning pale!

Feng's arrows never miss their mark!

He dared to ambush Feng Jiuxiao because he was hoping for the best!
Feng Jiuxiao was inside the carriage, a hundred feet away, so he definitely wouldn't be able to detect his presence!
The Heaven-Shaking Arrow shot from the Xuanyuan Bow—which was of course a fake Heaven-Shaking Arrow—was incredibly fast and indestructible. Even if Feng Jiuxiao noticed the arrow coming from behind the carriage wall, it would probably be too late!

But to his utter surprise, Feng Jiuxiao actually jumped out alive!

He knew that although the Xuanyuan Bow in his hand was not the one from the ancient legends, it was incredibly powerful and could definitely be ranked among the top ten famous bows of the world!

Because this replica of the Xuanyuan Bow was a divine artifact that the Li family ancestor had spent countless manpower and resources, and spent eighty-one days forging it!

Although he didn't know exactly how many Xuanyuan Bows the Li family had forged, only this one Xuanyuan Bow remained in the Li family's "Bow Tomb"!
The reason this bow is considered a prized possession is because the blueprints for forging the Xuanyuan Bow have been lost! In other words, the Li family no longer has the ability to forge the Xuanyuan Bow! Every Xuanyuan Bow in the world, whether genuine or fake, is one less to be found once it's broken!
Li Hesong said in a trembling voice, "Then you killed so many people from our Li family, you should pay for their lives!" After saying that, he suddenly realized a shocking phenomenon! That is, his voice was not loud at all, not enough to be heard a hundred feet away, so how did Feng Jiuxiao hear it?
Feng Jiuxiao said, "According to you, I should kill myself in front of you?"

Li Hesong mustered his courage and said, "You're the one who said 'a life for a life.' You killed so many members of our Li family, shouldn't you pay with your life?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Then do you know why I killed your Li family members?"

Li Hesong shook his head: "I don't know!"

"Didn't you grow up in the Li family?"

"I grew up at my maternal grandfather's house."

"You don't know what the Li family has been doing all this time?"

"I'm not quite sure!"

"Then how did you know me?"

"My cousins ​​said so!"

"They're encouraging you to take revenge?"

No, they keep telling me to stay away from you.

"Then why are you still looking for me?"

“They…their families always cry in front of me, I…”

"You felt sorry for them, so you were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to avenge them?"

"Yes, it is!"

"Have you ever considered that they're putting on an act in front of you so they can use you to kill me?"

Li Hesong's face darkened. "I've thought about it!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "I won't make things difficult for you, you can leave now!"

Li Hesong was stunned. "You...you really want to let me go?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Ignorance is no excuse! You were also tricked, so I don't blame you. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Whoever deceived you, you should settle accounts with them!"

Li Hesong said, "I want to know, why did you kill the Li family members?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "If I said they deserved to die, would you believe me?"

Li Hesong remained silent.

Feng Jiuxiao said, "So if you want to know the truth, you have to dig it out yourself. The Li family is very powerful and influential in northern Shaanxi, and their influence is everywhere. Just ask the local people what their reputation is like, and you'll know."

Li Hesong remained silent for a long time, then suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to Feng Jiuxiao, and then got up and left!
Feng Jiuxiao slowly retracted the Heaven-Shaking Bow.

Bigwolf had already walked several dozen feet away. "You're just going to let him go like that?"

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "I released him because he is a sharp blade!"
