CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 177: ANOTHER SNEAK ATTACK! (PART 3)

"Lieutenant Zhou, it’s a misunderstanding, we’re all on the same side!"

Zhang Hong clearly recognized the other party’s identity.

This person is Zhou Ming, from a Military Family background, extremely remarkable. His talents were average in youth, but after entering university, he quickly rose to prominence, and upon graduation, he joined the military, his position rising like a rocket.

Zhou Ming looked at Zhang Hong coldly, his tone contemptuous: "Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding. I’m here today to test if he’s qualified to replace Lii Yaoping."

Being shot with an arrow for no reason, Ye Qingzhou was not known for having a good temper, and at this moment his face was covered with frost, though a simmering anger rose in his heart.

Previously ambushed on Longhua Mountain by Lii Yaoping, and now at Jiuli Grotto Heaven to maintain vigilance, he just ascended the mountain only to nearly get shot by an arrow.

Being assassinated repeatedly, even a clay figurine would have some anger.

The might of the recent arrow was comparable to the cruise missile that killed him in his previous life.

If Ye Qingzhou’s response was even slightly slower, he might have died on the spot.

At this moment, how could Ye Qingzhou not be angry?

"What, are you not satisfied?"

Another cold voice came from deep within the forest, followed by a figure drifting gracefully, falling by Zhou Ming’s side. The figure stood about 1.8 meters tall, appearing to be in his early thirties, wearing a blue combat suit filled with a sense of technology.

On the chest, a red character ’Sharp’ edged with gold was embroidered.

Divine Martial Sharp Warrior of the Divine Strategy Army!

The Divine Strategy Army is Dongji Kingdom’s strongest elite force, with every soldier possessing at least the combat prowess of a Professional Level Martial Artist, thus called Divine Martial Sharp Warrior.

"Divine Martial Sharp Warrior?"

Ye Qingzhou’s gaze was intently locked on the blue-robed man in front, feeling a deadly threat emanating from him. Clearly, he wasn’t even Master Level, yet the pressure he gave was stronger than Lii Yaoping’s oppressive feeling.

And beside him, Zhang Hong, having seen the appearance of the newcomer, his expression instantly changed: "Greetings, Lieutenant Lin."

Zhang Hong immediately recognized the person and hastily bowed respectfully.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hong quietly reminded Ye Qingzhou: "Ye Qianlong, smart people avoid immediate losses. Both of them come from the Imperial Capital’s Divine Strategy Army. The one who shot the arrow is Zhou Ming, and this one is Lin Jianfeng. Both come from Military Families, if you can avoid causing trouble, it’s best not to."

Ye Qingzhou seemed to not hear, his gaze coldly staring at Zhou Ming and Lin Jianfeng, Sword Intent firmly locking onto both: "Zhang Hong, this matter doesn’t concern you, step aside."

Zhang Hong felt a tremor in his heart, secretly lamenting, but could only quickly retreat to the side.

At this moment, the aura emanating from Ye Qingzhou made even him, a Martial Artist of Professional Third Rank, feel a piercing chill, fearful of getting caught in the crossfire of the three.

The other party picking a fight for no reason, Ye Qingzhou could not fathom the reason, thus he was too lazy to care, only coldly smiling at the two: "You want to test if I’m qualified? Have you finished the test?"

Zhou Ming’s lips curled into a smirk, his tone contemptuous as he said: "Ye Qingzhou, I admit you have some talent, but the world is vast, there are always stronger people. Don’t be too arrogant, it’s useless."

"Done with your nonsense?"

Ye Qingzhou expressionlessly raised the Flying Frost Sword in his hand: "Now, it’s my turn to test if you two are worthy to be my teammates."

Zheng~

On the Second Peak, the cold wind blew fiercely.

The cold light from the Flying Frost Sword instantly enveloped Zhou Ming and Lin Jianfeng, Sword Qi burst in all directions, covering the sky, leaving them no room to escape.

"Dare to fight back, you don’t know what’s good for you!"

Zhou Ming drew his bow and arrow, coldly laughing, then the sound of the bowstring vibrating reverberated through the heavens: "Flying Bow Divine Shooter, A Thousand Arrows Fired Simultaneously!"

Wind and Forest stances joined, High-Tier Martial Technique, A Thousand Arrows Fired Simultaneously!

A myriad of arrow shadows collided with Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Qi torrent, mutually cancelling each other.

Buzz~

Only to see Lin Jianfeng by Zhou Ming’s side move, the air echoed again with a thunderous thrum like bowstring vibrations, a sound of his muscles and tendons shaking.

Sinew like a great bow, spear shot like an arrow off the bowstring!

Six Bow Divine Spear Third Technique, Open and Hidden Arrows!

Still as a virgin, swift as a hare.

At this moment, Lin Jianfeng moved forward, launching an attack instantly, his figure flashed before Ye Qingzhou, moving unbelievably fast.

Clang~

Ye Qingzhou waved his hand to block Lin Jianfeng’s spear thrust, then realized the force seemed unusual.

"True Qi Trace?"

The ’Lin Jianfeng’ before him was actually a residual shadow made of Martial Arts True Qi, and the real Lin Jianfeng had somehow managed to ambush Ye Qingzhou from behind.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Six Bow Divine Spear’s Third Technique, Open and Hidden Arrows are hard to dodge!

Lin Jianfeng didn’t intend to take Ye Qingzhou’s life, only hoping to teach him a lesson, so he aimed a thrust at the left shoulder, however, this thrust ended up exploding Ye Qingzhou’s entire body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The scene seemed to have been triggered by explosives, with the violent explosion of Innate Bing Fire Qi, erupting and sweeping in all directions, Lin Jianfeng first to bear the brunt was blown away tens of meters, crashing to the ground like a rolling gourd, as embarrassing as could be.

"Old Lin!"

Zhou Ming exclaimed, trying to check his comrade’s condition, only to be shoved back mid-jump by someone, greeted with Ye Qingzhou’s mocking smile: "Do you still have time for concern?"

"Ye Qingzhou! You..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before Zhou Ming could finish his sentence, the ’Ye Qingzhou’ before him exploded once again, causing him to be catapulted in the direction of Lin Jianfeng, putting the two in a shared plight.

Lin Jianfeng and Zhou Ming were both wearing combat suits, cushioning some impact. As they attempted to rise, Ye Qingzhou’s figure descended from the sky once more.

Two big feet firmly stomped on their heads, pushing them into the ground: "My Mirage Dragon Arc added a pinch of Bing Fire inside, how does it feel?"
