Chapter 281: Chapter 23 Murderous Intent on a Rainy Night_3 Chapter 281: Chapter 23 Murderous Intent on a Rainy Night_3 In the blink of an eye, he had no time for further thought.
A thunderous beastly roar burst forth from his mouth.
Bone spurs jutted from his body, muscles began to swell rapidly, covered in black keratinization.
But just as his transformation had started, an arrow had already pierced into his head.
With the explosive force of the wind and thunder, his skull was shattered to pieces in an instant.
The changes in his body came to an abrupt halt.
All this was completed in the span of a heartbeat.
With the headless body slowly falling to the ground.
The people beside him wiped off the splattered blood and brain matter from their faces, finally snapping back to reality, and then looked at the body on the ground with fear and horror.
Jiang Ning, watching this scene from afar, murmured to himself, his heart finally settling down.
He felt a sense of relief wash over him.
It took less than a breath before
Jiang Ning once again nocked an arrow to his bow.
The arrow split the air, instantly stirring up a wave of energy, creating a visible, clear trail through the curtain of rain.
Liu Linmen, following the recent upheaval, suddenly adjusted himself.
“Retreat, find cover!” he vigorously blinked to clear the blood from his eyes, barely making out the blurred scene in front of him.
With his vision impaired by the injuries to his eyes, Liu Linmen completely abandoned any thought of seizing the opportunity to strike.
Upon hearing his words, the people behind him scattered, retreating towards the rear.
However, the moment the arrows had stopped, they once again appeared silently.
The arrows, creating waves of energy and piercing through the rain curtain, left clearly visible trails.
“Incense Master, ahead!”
Someone called out a warning.
Liu Linmen acted even faster, and despite his blurred vision and injured eyes, his powerful senses still allowed him to barely capture some traces.
As he took action, the arrows were once again deflected.
A scream rang out, followed by a thunderous roar.
The explosive force instantly tore one of them apart.
“Quick, retreat!” Liu Linmen, having no time for anger, continued to urge everyone on.
Jiang Ning kept firing arrows.
With each sound, an arrow flew through the air.
After several breaths.
Jiang Ning retracted his arrows and turned to leave.
Because by now, the distant figures had taken cover behind buildings.
Though this made no difference to him.
Since his target had been killed, there was no point in lingering.
Most importantly, Liu Linmen was approaching along the trajectory of the arrows.
Jiang Ning didn’t yet wish to confront Liu Linmen at this time.
The Fifth Grade Internal Strength was far beyond what he could handle at present.
In the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ning disappeared into the vast rainy night.
This was his home ground.
If he didn’t want to be discovered, no one in Luoshui County could spot him on a rainy night.
Liu Linmen’s impotent rage echoed from a distance.
This night had been a devastating loss for him.
Not only had he sustained injuries to his eyes, impairing his vision.
Out of the seven who had come, only four remained, with the other three falling on this rainy night.
Most crucially, the enemy’s identity was still unknown to him.
Moreover, one of the three who had fallen held a key position, an Incense Master of the God Worship Sect.
The God Worship Sect had recently joined forces with the Yellow Heaven Sect.
The addition of the God Worship Sect could further strengthen the power of the Yellow Heaven Sect.
That Incense Master had come to Luoshui County with him to help the leaderless followers of the God Worship Sect find a new figurehead.
The death of such a person at this sensitive time was bound to stir up trouble.
