Chapter 298: Surroundings Perception Ability



As the person in charge of the operation, he naturally had the power to make people listen to him.

He had a cultivation base of the Heaven Dipper Stage and had superb archery skills that allowed him to snipe enemies from a distance of more than three thousand feet.

Most importantly, he had rich experience and battle knowledge developed from years of battle and assassination.

This was the fundamental reason why he became the person in charge of the operation.

Ma Ming held a simple and unadorned slender bow in his hand. The bow was called

Throat Seal, meaning it would seal the throat with an arrow.

A bloody battle was taking place in the Maple Night Restaurant one hundred and thirty-six feet away. The restaurant was constantly vibrating and its walls were on the verge of collapsing.

However, Ma Ming knew that their target wouldn’t be easy to assassinate given that he managed to survive the bombardment of the Violet Hero Battleship.

In other words, Ma Ming didn’t expect his comrades in the restaurant to be able to kill the target.

Under his arrangement, the twenty-seven comrades in the restaurant were only tasked to stop the target from leaving!

As long as they could hold the target back, Ma Ming would have the chance to deploy forces to block the target’s escape route. At that time, the target wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had grown wings!

Of course, the twenty-seven comrades would likely be sacrificed as cannon fodder, but Ma Ming didn’t care.

In his opinion, it was a price they had to pay to kill such a ruthless and abnormal target.

The current situation proved that Ma Ming’s deployment was correct. After a battle had broken out in the restaurant, the people he had ordered to hide in different areas around the restaurant all blocked the surroundings as planned.

Now, they were just waiting for their target to appear!

Of course, it would be best if their target died in the restaurant, but Ma Ming wasn’t optimistic about that.

After a few minutes.

Unable to bear the impact anymore, the crumbling Maple Night Restaurant finally collapsed.

Ma Ming suddenly narrowed his eyes and signaled the other cultivators lying in ambush nearby to get ready. They would launch an earthshaking attack at the sight of their target!

Their method of attack was extremely simple and crude—completely cover the areas where the target would potentially appear with crossbows and bows.

Ma Ming was confident that even a fly would be crushed into pulp under that scale of the attack, let alone their target!

The atmosphere turned tense and chilling. Not a single person remained on the streets and the area was completely deserted.

But as time passed, the rubble of the collapsed restaurant remained quiet and still with no signs of their target.

Of course, none of the twenty-seven comrades also showed up.

It was terrifyingly silent!

Ma Ming suddenly felt a sense of crisis. In his view, their target should have rushed out of the restaurant to avoid the attacks.

However, the deathly quiet situation wasn’t what he expected.

Could the target have died with the others?

When that thought flashed across his mind, a sharp whistle exploded in his ear. His pupils rapidly constricted.

It’s the sound of the Divine Arm Crossbow!

Who the hell ignored my order and acted?

Ma Ming raged. But when he looked over, his face blanched with terror. He saw one of his comrades plunge to the ground from the roof of a building and the center of his forehead was pierced with a bloody hole!

Pshhh!

Ma Ming inhaled sharply and realized that he assumed wrongly. It wasn’t one of his comrades who fired a Divine Arm Crossbow but their target!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before Ma Ming could react, a series of sharp whistles rang out one after another. It reverberated throughout the silent and empty streets like a demonic sound from hell.

Ma Ming’s face dramatically changed. He couldn’t compose himself because he saw dozens of arrows shoot out from the rubble of the restaurant. They were speeding across the air towards him from different directions.

Rumble—

Suddenly, nearby buildings were torn apart, rocks were blasted everywhere, and smoke filled the air. Tragic screams followed, creating a hair-raising atmosphere.

Ma Ming witnessed eight comrades hiding in different areas killed in an instant!

His hands and feet went cold like he had fallen into an ice cave.

He couldn’t imagine how their target achieved that. My comrades were well hidden yet he saw through everything and launched a bloody slaughter without even showing up!

Terrifying!

Ma Ming finally realized why their target could survive the several encirclements and attacks.

That guy is simply a demon. All my plans and arrangements are useless in front of him and are all destroyed by his bloody, ruthless and abnormal means!

The sharp whistle of a crossbow continued to ring across the city like the roar of death.

Panic-stricken, Ma Ming couldn’t care about anything else. He just screamed, “Retreat!”

Bang!

At that moment, an arrow accurately shot into Ma Ming’s opened mouth like it had ripped through time and space. It lifted his entire body and nailed him to the eaves not far away.

Ma Ming’s pupils dilated. Even at his death, he wondered how their target discovered his hiding spot…

The hurried, sharp whistle continued to ring freely in the air.

……

After a short moment.

In the depths of the rubble of the restaurant, Lin Xun stood up and put away the No-Nonsense Bow. Around him were dozens of discarded crossbows.

The absolute state of calmness in his mind-sea that allowed him to perceive everything was rapidly fading. His jet-black eyes gradually became warmer.

He had sensed something was wrong from the moment he set foot into the Maple Night Restaurant.

Although the customers on the second floor of the restaurant had restrained their aura and disguised themselves, Lin Xun could tell that they were fierce characters who practiced martial arts all year round from the thick calluses on their palms!

Lin Xun wasn’t sure that they had come for him but when Jiujiu appeared out of thin air and when he taught Rui Qing a lesson, he noticed they had reacted far too calmly, unlike ordinary people.

As if those clues weren’t enough for Lin Xun to see through their plot, when he packed up his stuff and was about to leave with Luoluo, he noticed they had subconsciously stopped what they were doing.

At that moment, Lin Xun was certain that they were all waiting there for him!

Additionally, when the battle kicked off, Lin Xun sensed strange auras gathered outside Maple Night Restaurant.

When he slaughtered all the enemies in the restaurant and shattered the building to rubble, he summoned his No-Nonsense Bow and detected several cultivators concealed in the nearby buildings.

This was the magical ability of the No-Nonsense Bow. Whenever he drew the blood-red bow, his consciousness and emotions would fall into a state of absolute calmness, allowing him to perceive everything around him. All the dangers were plainly present in front of him.

When Lin Xun was in the Maple Night Mountain Range, he had already utilized the magical ability of the No-Nonsense Blade to severely damage a Violet Hero Battleship.

Unlike that time, he only used the mysterious perception ability of the bow and killed using the aeth tools or crossbows he gathered from the enemies.

It wasn’t because he was wealthy and didn’t mind wasting crossbow bolts. Instead, it was for the sake of conserving energy. Using aeth tools and bows didn’t consume much aeth power.

“There were twenty-seven enemies in the restaurant, and thirty-three were waiting outside to ambush, and nine of them escaped in the end…”

“The surroundings perception ability of the No-Nonsense Bow had helped me a lot in this battle. If I had rushed out there, it would be similar to stabbing a hornet’s nest.”

Surrounding Perception was the name that Lin Xun gave to the magical ability of the No-Nonsense Bow. In addition to its ability to perceive the surroundings, it could help him maintain a state of absolute calmness.

The more battles he fought, the more he appreciated and understood the mysteriousness of the No-Nonsense Bow. It was no doubt a remarkable treasure that no other bows could compare to. Its two abilities—surroundings perception and absolute calmness were already unmatched.

Without further delay, Lin Xun flashed out of the rubble with a basket on his back.

The street was completely quiet and empty apart from blood-soaked corpses lying on the eaves of the nearby alleys.

Lin Xun didn’t know whether there were enemies still lurking in other parts of Qingliu Town, so he planned to quickly leave the place.

It was at that moment when a group of people aggressively rushed toward him.

“Father, it’s not because I’m incompetent, but that bastard is too ruthless. I even used the name of the Rui Family, but he still arrogantly attacked me. He attaches no importance to our Rui Family!”

“Father, you have to stick up for me. Qingliu Town is the territory of our Rui Family, how can we let an outsider cause trouble?”

The group was led by an imposing middle-aged man, and Rui Qing was following closely behind the middle-aged man.

Rui Qing was complaining about something to the man.

The imposing and dignified looking middle-aged man was Rui Qing’s father, and the group of people behind the two were subordinates of the Rui Family.

“Huh? Why is Maple Night Restaurant destroyed? I was inside it a moment ago, how did it become like this?”

Rui Qing was startled when he saw the collapsed restaurant from afar. He looked around and noticed Lin Xun standing among the rubble of the restaurant. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, “It’s him! It’s him!”
