Chapter 175: Chapter 111: Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber Perfection, Cao Feng Shocked; The Same ’Seven Stars Castle’, Chu Fan Terrified

The heads of the Feathered Arrows were wrapped in oil-soaked linen or pine resin, burning fiercely as they tore through the air.

The arrows slammed into the watchtower, and it wasn’t long before the tower was on fire.

Zhao Tianxing turned to climb down, only to see Chu Fan spread his arms and leap down like an eagle.

Then, with a light tap of his toes, he skimmed across the treetops as if performing the "Grasshopper" technique. He then scaled the cliff face as if it were level ground, charging all the way up...

In the blink of an eye, he reached the top of the cliff!

"I want to learn that Qinggong too... Damn it, that was incredible!"

Zhao Tianxing burned the image into his mind and jumped down from the watchtower.

Members of the White Tiger Gang seized the opportunity to charge out in furious pursuit.

Chu Fan stood atop the cliff, watching Zhao Tianxing fight a running battle below.

He nocked a Black Kite Arrow, his eyes scanning the pursuers for the fastest among them.

As if sensing the danger, the man instantly ducked behind a large tree!

SWISH!

Leaving a crescent-shaped trail, the Black Kite Arrow carved an arc through the air and pierced straight through the thick tree!

THUD!

The man hiding behind the tree was run through by the Black Kite Arrow and collapsed rigidly to the ground.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianxing led the pursuers on a chaotic chase below the cliff, loosing one Moon Eclipse Arrow after another.

In the pre-dawn darkness, the arrows seemed like living things reaping souls—every arrow loosed was a guaranteed kill!

Even experts at the Bone Marrow Forging Realm were completely unable to dodge them!

The White Tiger Gang hadn’t even managed to touch the hem of their clothes, yet they had already lost over twenty men!

Seeing the pursuers closing in, Zhao Tianxing slung his bow over his back and began scrambling up the rock face like an ape.

White Tiger Gang members below fired arrows at him, but he deftly dodged every one.

From his position on the clifftop, Chu Fan shot down a few arrows, killing the archers below instantly.

But several of the faster pursuers were also scaling the cliff and about to catch Zhao Tianxing...

Chu Fan picked them off one by one, sending them plummeting back down.

The men of the White Tiger Gang were already frightened out of their wits by the slaughter!

’There are only two of them, yet they’ve killed so many with just their archery. Just what faction do they belong to?’

THUMP!

With a powerful heave of his arms, Zhao Tianxing vaulted into the air and landed beside Chu Fan.

Panting, he said, "If you hadn’t been covering me from up here, I’m afraid they would’ve caught me."

The flames of vengeance burned in his eyes.

The two of them drew their bows again, harvesting the lives of the White Tiger Gang members still scrambling up the cliff.

But in just a moment...

Several members of the White Tiger Gang managed to climb up the cliff on both flanks.

"You’re not getting away!"

Four disciples of the White Tiger Gang charged in from both sides.

Meanwhile, directly in front of them, the rest of the gang members seized the chance to scramble madly up the cliff face!

Chu Fan and Zhao Tianxing stood back-to-back, their expressions serene.

Of this entire White Tiger Gang Sub-Branch, they had killed all but a dozen or so men.

Unhurried, the two of them slung their longbows over their backs and unsheathed their sabers.

Then...

Chu Fan and Zhao Tianxing took a step forward at the same time!

Both used the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber!

With a flash of saber light, the two men closest to them were instantly beheaded!

At that moment, the sound of clattering stones echoed from the cliff’s edge.

The remaining White Tiger Gang members seized the chance to climb onto the clifftop!

A brutish, fleshy-faced, middle-aged man roared, "There’s no escape for you now, even if you grew wings!"

Hearing that voice, Zhao Tianxing whipped his head around, his gaze locking onto a man with a scarred face in the crowd.

The next moment...

He began to tremble, his face flushing a deep crimson!

If Chu Fan hadn’t intervened, he would have been cut down by a White Tiger Gang disciple’s long saber!

"It’s them..."

Zhao Tianxing’s voice was hoarse. "It was them. They stole my father’s quarry, beat him half to death, and left him to die in despair!"

Chu Fan’s gaze swept over the men in question. He gently patted Zhao Tianxing’s shoulder. "Calm down. You take them. I’ll handle the others."

The White Tiger Gang members roared with laughter and closed in.

’An archer’s advantage lies at a distance. Now that they’re surrounded, these two are dead for sure!’

Just then...

Chu Fan activated his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step and charged straight into the crowd!

Saber light flashed again and again. Before several White Tiger Gang members could even react, their heads were sent flying!

The smile on the face of the brute who had just bellowed about them having "no escape" instantly froze.

’An archer... how can he have such terrifying saber arts?’

His heart felt like it was being crushed by an invisible hand, making it hard to even breathe.

’We thought we had them cornered on the cliff... but now, it looks like *we’re* the ones who walked into the trap!’

The man swallowed hard and glanced to his left.

Seeing Master Ma to his left, his fear lessened slightly.

’Master Ma is at the Bone Tempering Realm, after all! Unless an expert at the Incense Master Level from one of the three major gangs showed up, otherwise...’

Just then, Master Ma flashed forward, shielding a gang member. His great saber, radiating a fierce aura, clashed against the Ghost-faced Man’s long saber!

CLANG!

As everyone watched, the great saber flew from Master Ma’s hands, and he staggered back three heavy steps!

The entire scene fell deathly silent...

You could hear a pin drop!

"The Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber... You’re... from the Cao Family!"

Master Ma stared in horror at his still-trembling hand, his voice cracking.

When their sabers clashed, a terrifying Saber Force had surged from his opponent’s long saber. It felt like a monstrous tidal wave, crashing down again and again. Not only did it send his own saber flying, but it also invaded his body, churning his qi and blood until he nearly vomited.

Chu Fan remained silent, merely tilting his head slightly.

He activated his Ghost Shadow Illusionary Body Step again, flashing past Master Ma’s right side like a phantom.

SHLICK!

Master Ma’s head flew high into the air, rolled twice across the ground, and came to a stop by the feet of a White Tiger Gang member!

How could a mere Bone Tempering Realm expert possibly withstand the Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber at the Great Success stage, augmented by Traits like "Saber Swift as Lightning"?
