Chapter 60: Three Small Steel Arrows
Because the middle-aged man had tried to avoid the arrow, and Feng Jun wasn’t very good at using the crossbow, the arrow only hit the outer side of his leg.
The middle-aged man screamed in great pain and shouted, “Young man, I’ll kill you!”
Feng Jun jumped down from the big rock and chased ahead, followed by the woman.
Strangely, although the man was hit by the arrow, he still ran faster than them.
Feng Jun soon realized that problem and wasn’t sure that he could successfully hit the man again with his crossbow.
Therefore, he asked the woman, “Can I directly kill him?”
The woman was gasping for breath at this moment. “Of course you can. We’re not in the town.”
Since Feng Jun was allowed to kill the man, he could use his crossbow more freely.
This time, he aimed at the middle-aged man’s vest, and the middle-aged man could really be killed.
However, he failed.
The second steel arrow only entered the outer side of the middle-aged man’s right leg.
For now, he couldn’t run anymore. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
The next second, he struggled to get back to his feet and turned around to face them.
It was impossible for him to escape now, but he still had the bravery to fight till death.
Feng Jun and the woman slowed down their steps and walked towards him slowly.
The woman swore at him and wanted to fight against him again with her hatchet.
“No need.” Feng Jun smiled and filled the groove with another steel arrow.
The middle-aged man was mad. “Hey, don’t you have a knife with you? If you’re a man, come and fight against me!”
Feng Jun snorted with disdain and said, “It’s my advantage that I have a crossbow. I’m not dumb.”
Before the middle-aged man could argue with him, Feng Jun said with pride, “I won’t even bother to shoot you with my crossbow again. I can just stand here and watch you bleed till you’re out of strength.”
The middle-aged man was struck dumb for a second. He then loosened his hand; the machete fell down to the ground. “Fine, I give in.”
Since the middle-aged man gave up struggling, there was no need for Feng Jun to irritate him anymore.
To be honest, the middle-aged man was quite brave.
It wasn’t humiliating that he surrendered at this time.
The woman snorted and said, “I think we better kill him, because he said that he would take revenge.”
Feng Jun was a little scared by the woman’s words.
Only because the middle-aged man had said to take revenge, she wanted to kill him right now.
Actually, Feng Jun had the same idea.
“Didn’t you want to catch him alive?” asked Feng Jun.
The woman gave him a glance. “I thought you are a kung fu master and that it should be easy for you to catch him alive.”
Feng Jun laughed. “Unfortunately, I’m not.”
“Of course you’re not a master, because you don’t know movement technique,” said the woman.
Feng Jun argued, “Does a real master need movement technique?”
The woman said, “You can’t win without movement technique, right?”
Afterward, she ended this topic. “I just wanted to know where he came from, so I told you to catch him alive.”
Feng Jun said, “Don’t you want to know it now?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary.” The woman shook her head. “He’s a shameless robber and even sexually harassed me.”
When they were talking with each other, they didn’t forget to pay attention to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man shouted in anger at this moment, “I’m the famous ‘Tianbao Star’ from Huangfeng ridge! I’m not a robber.”
Hearing that, the woman showed obvious disdain on her face. “I don’t care who you are; you’re a robber in my eyes.”
“Well, I heard about the men from Huangfeng ridge…” said Feng Jun.
However, he didn’t finish his sentence and gently pulled the trigger.
The middle-aged man was still waiting for Feng Jun to intercede for him when he suddenly saw a little white light coming. He moved his body and raised his hand to draw the long sword on his back.
He reacted very quickly, but Feng Jun deliberately distracted him, and the powerful crossbow was much more powerful than he could imagine.
Before he could avoid the arrow, the white light hit his chest, and his body stiffened a little before it fell aside.
His right hand, at the same time, hurled the long sword out, but his strength was stuck in his chest after the arrow hit him.
He made a loud roar and forcibly broke through the feeling of blockage. He then raised his hand, and the long sword flew out towards Feng Jun fiercely.
Feng Jun, however, also threw himself to the ground by the road when he pulled the trigger of his crossbow.
It was a special way for soldiers to avoid danger in his world
Feng Jun stayed alert as he faced the middle-aged man, even if the middle- aged man showed the willingness to give in.
He shot the arrow just then not only because it was a great chance for him to kill the middle-aged man. It was also because he sensed that the middle-aged man still wanted to hurt him.
In the beginning, he didn’t know how the middle-aged man could manage to do that when he had already dumped his machete.
All of a sudden, Feng Jun saw the long sword behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man could be better at swords than knives.
Anyway, he could never be too careful when his life was in danger, so he decided to distract the middle-aged man.
The truth proved that he was right.
With a loud sound, the long sword swiftly hit a huge rock fifty or sixty meters away in the distance.
Witnessing the scene, the middle-aged man was utterly disappointed. He wanted to attack Feng Jun again, but he was already out of strength.
The next second, he opened his mouth, and fresh blood came out of it at once.
There was strong hatred in his eyes as his body fell down to the ground.
Feng Jun stayed cautious, so did the woman. When the middle-aged man raised his hand to pull his long sword, she also flashed backward like lightning.
No wonder she laughed at Feng Jun just then, because her movement technique was indeed quite unbelievable.
When the middle-aged man collapsed down to the ground, she cut off half of his neck without delay.
The blood was sprayed out in an instant, and the middle-aged man’s body twitched before it lay still.
Feng Jun gave the woman a glance and had to admit that she was even more careful than him.
Once the woman was sure that the middle-aged man was completely dead, she walked ahead and began to pull his clothes off.
“What? Why do you want a dead man’s clothing?” asked Feng Jun.
He knew their village was poor, and everyone had patches on their clothes.
All the children about 12 years old simply had a small piece of cloth to cover their outer sex organs.
The woman actually didn’t wear much either.
She only put on a pair of truncated pants and a short-sleeved double coat with her thick arms and thighs exposed in the air.
The season during this time was probably summer. Feng Jun felt cold before, not only because of the season but also because of being in the Gobi Desert. When he came to a place where people lived, the environment became very different.
No matter what, the woman was dressed like that not only because of the weather but mainly because the village was too poor.
As the woman undressed the middle-aged man, she said, “What’s wrong with a dead man’s clothing? It’s better than nothing. Since you don’t want it, I’ll take his pants and shoes too.”
Feng Jun didn’t notice that the woman was wearing a pair of straw shoes until now.
“Fine, they’re all yours,” Feng Jun agreed.
The woman was very agile and efficient, and the middle-aged man was soon naked on the ground. After that, she picked up her hatchet and cut his body open. She then took out three small steel arrows.
She threw them to Feng Jun and grinned. “I bet you don’t want his sword and machete either, right?”
