Chapter 242: Chapter 242

But now, they didn't have much time to think about this. Instead, they continued pursuing Xiaoyao. Now that Xiaoyao had appeared, could they not chase him? At the same time, Xiaoyao had killed several more of their people, could they just let it go ?

No matter which question it was, the answer was negative. They had to chase, and they would absolutely not let this go.

As they were pursuing, a cold arrow reminded them that Xiaoyao was still nearby, while also taking away someone's life. Chapters fırst released on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

One more, yet another one.

They kept chasing, judging Xiaoyao's location from his cold arrows, but they couldn't prevent people from dying. Even though everyone was defending, someone would still carelessly get hit by a cold arrow.

And being hit meant certain death. Even if you caught the cold arrow, as long as the arrowhead scraped your skin even slightly, you would definitely die, because the arrowhead was smeared with poison, a poison that sealed the throat upon contact with blood.

Xiaoyao wouldn't waste the advantage of poison. At this moment, he was using every method possible to reduce the enemy's numbers, without a trace of mercy, because the opponents didn't deserve mercy.

At this time, it was very difficult to avoid being scraped by Xiaoyao's arrowheads, because they were extremely sharp. This was also a puzzling problem for Feng Hai and his people.

Xiaoyao's arrows were obviously theirs, they recognized them. They guessed that Xiaoyao must have robbed arrows from a few people, or collected arrows from those who had died before, or...

No matter what, these arrows were definitely theirs.

And how could they not understand their own arrows? Their arrowheads were very sharp, made with excellent craftsmanship and superior materials, they were quality products, but they hadn't reached this current level.

Obviously, these arrowheads had been modified by someone to achieve such sharpness. Even other parts of the arrows had been slightly modified, which was why they could achieve their current effect. Even at such a great distance, they didn't lose their accuracy.

This ability to modify arrows at least showed that Xiaoyao was also skilled in this craft. Another skill added, perhaps that strong bow was also modified by him. This made people feel even more incredible and think that Xiaoyao's identity was not simple.

In fact, that bow had indeed been modified by Xiaoyao. Using some mechanical techniques and special materials, he had enhanced the bow's strength and accuracy, allowing it to unleash super strong potential and perform ultra-long-distance shooting.

All this modification work was something Xiaoyao had completed in his spare time. If he had more time, he could do even better. Of course, it was good enough for now.

If Feng Hai and his people knew about this situation, they would definitely go crazy and grab Feng Hai to ask, "What kind of person did you actually capture? A small servant? Damn it, if he's a small servant, then I'm a beggar."

Feng Hai would feel very innocent, he felt he was telling the truth. If anyone was to blame, it should be Xiaoyao. He was the one who said he was a small servant, he was the one lying, he was the one who wronged everyone.

Xiaoyao would feel even more innocent. He hadn't lied, he was indeed just a small servant. This was just a profession, and it didn't mean his abilities had to be weak. On the contrary, he felt that the profession of servant required mastering all eighteen martial arts, otherwise how could one be a qualified full-time servant?

"This can't continue, we'll all be killed." Feng Hai and the others who were still alive watched people fall one by one, and fear began to grow in their hearts. This fear slowly expanded and gradually occupied their minds.

The Xiaoyao they now faced not only shot cold arrows but also appeared and disappeared mysteriously, making it impossible to determine his position or know where the next cold arrow would come from.

This situation made them begin to suspect that Xiaoyao might have even concealed his strength. He wasn't really at the early Scholar Level at all, but several levels higher than Scholar Level. Otherwise, how could he toy with them and have such incredible movement techniques and speed?

For Xiaoyao to appear and disappear mysteriously, he not only needed good movement techniques to avoid being discovered, but also extremely high speed. Otherwise, how could he be here one moment and there the next? Without speed, how could this be possible? This world didn't have spatial movement.

Speaking of which, Xiaoyao's movement techniques were indeed very strong, no, it should be said they were the strongest among his martial arts techniques. Though he couldn't improve his strength level, he could use other methods to enhance his movement speed. Although he couldn't reach that extreme, he could still unleash his speed to a realm that transcended his level.

If people saw his speed, they wouldn't find it strange, because Xiaoyao used the most basic methods to improve his speed. It was completely reasonable and nothing incredible about it.

So when the Eldest Princess was chasing Xiaoyao, she only wondered how Xiaoyao could be so fast, but she didn't think such a thing was impossible. Though difficult, there was still hope.

Now, Feng Hai and the others couldn't see this, so they thought Xiaoyao was concealing his strength and should have a higher strength level. Otherwise, he absolutely couldn't have such speed.

Xiaoyao didn't care about Feng Hai and the others' thoughts. He was just working hard to use up all his arrows. After using them up, he believed the people here would be about done. Of course, he felt this might be wishful thinking, he thought these people would still find ways to resolve their current predicament.

"Later, we won't worry about anything else. As soon as his arrow appears, we'll charge toward the direction of the arrow and form an encirclement. Others try to deflect the arrows, don't get hit anymore." Feng Hai frowned and came up with a plan. Currently, the most important thing was to attack Xiaoyao first, not defend against his arrows.

Because if they only defended against Xiaoyao's arrows, then the people here were destined to be eliminated one by one. But if they pursued Xiaoyao himself, then naturally he wouldn't have time to shoot arrows, solving the problem at its root.

To solve this problem, they couldn't rely solely on their subordinates, they had to act themselves. Otherwise, they couldn't keep up with Xiaoyao's speed. Actually, if they didn't act themselves, they could only wait for whenever Xiaoyao would shoot and kill them. So now, the experts had to make their move.

With Feng Hai and his people's strength, disrupting Xiaoyao's cold arrows was actually quite simple, because Xiaoyao's current idea was not to let them get close. Otherwise, he might get stuck and then be surrounded. At that time, not only might he get injured, but he might even be finished off here.

Of course, trying to surround Xiaoyao was basically impossible. Xiaoyao was very careful to maintain distance and could pull away to an even greater distance at any time, unless he himself got hot-headed and approached Feng Hai and his people. But that was absolutely impossible.

It was precisely because of this that when Feng Hai and his people moved out, the first thing Xiaoyao did was distance himself from them. He would reach a safe distance before conducting his sniping. He wouldn't let Feng Hai and his people within his safe distance unless he could guarantee killing them all.

This wasn't because Xiaoyao was being overly cautious, but because he had to be this careful. His martial power was too weak, not only was his internal cultivation still at the early Scholar Level, but his internal cultivation was entirely the Divine Farmer's Art. It was really difficult to fight against so many opponents. If there were fewer people, he could barely handle it, though he would get injured.

However, Xiaoyao felt it wasn't worth getting injured for these scumbags. So even if only a few people remained later, he would still use the safest method to resolve things and wouldn't let himself get injured, much less put himself in danger.

"Damn it, kid, if you have guts, come out and fight me one-on-one. What kind of hero shoots cold arrows from hiding." Xiaoyao's behavior deeply irritated Feng Hai and his people. They felt too stifled, that oppressive feeling was driving them almost crazy.

"Sorry about that, I never was a hero to begin with. Also, shooting cold arrows from hiding is safe. If you have the ability, you can also hide and shoot cold arrows," Xiaoyao's voice carried over, further stoking the anger of Feng Hai and his people.

"Hmph, just wait and see, don't regret it later." Feng Hai roared angrily, while he communicated with others in secret, seeming to have made some decision.

Feng Hai did have a plan. He wanted to use their numerical advantage to drive Xiaoyao toward a certain place and surround him. Then they could catch him like a turtle in a jar.

He discovered that Xiaoyao's escape direction wasn't going deeper but seemed to be heading back toward their original location. This made him very happy, because going back would give him access to more resources.

At this time, he thought Xiaoyao might have accidentally run in the wrong direction, or was forced to do so. Anyway, the current situation was favorable to him. Even if he couldn't surround Xiaoyao, he could drive Xiaoyao down the mountain. At that time, he could deal with Xiaoyao however he wanted.

Therefore, he worked hard to drive Xiaoyao to the position he wanted, while pretending it was very coincidental and not intentional. Although he sacrificed a few people in the process, this didn't have too much impact on his plan. It seemed like Xiaoyao was moving closer and closer back.

Xiaoyao seemed unaware of this situation. While sniping people, he was being forced step by step into the encirclement Feng Hai had prepared. This made Feng Hai and his people very excited. Even though they had sacrificed quite a few people for this, they were still very excited because Xiaoyao was about to fall into their hands.

At that time, they could do whatever they wanted to Xiaoyao.

But was the situation really ? Did Xiaoyao truly not know about their plot? Xiaoyao would reveal the answer to everyone, and this answer might be beyond everyone's expectations.

"Let's see where you run now."

Feng Hai looked at Xiaoyao somewhat viciously. At this moment, they had already formed an encirclement with Xiaoyao surrounded in the middle. However, this circle had just formed and hadn't yet tightened.

But whether to tighten or not, Feng Hai and his people felt it wasn't a big problem at this point, because Xiaoyao now had nowhere to escape.
