“W-Where did that bow come from?”
“So powerful! It’s even more terrifying than bullets!”
“It has to be one of our special forces soldiers! That’s incredible!”
“Two terrorists are already dead! Awesome!”
The citizens of Jiangnan watching in front of their televisions erupted in excitement.
Some even jumped to their feet in celebration.
At the same time, everyone’s nerves tightened even further.
Unfortunately, the live broadcast only covered a small section of the auditorium on the first floor, making it impossible to see what was happening on the second floor.
As a result, no one could identify the mysterious archer.
Outside Mingri High School, however, silence reigned.
Government officials stared blankly at the screen, as if they had seen a ghost.
Gulp.
Someone finally swallowed hard and broke the silence.
The mayor pointed at the monitor, his voice trembling.
“Who… who’s shooting those arrows?”
The police chief turned toward the captain of the special police unit, his eyes full of questions.
The captain himself was equally shocked.
He shook his head firmly.
“It’s definitely not one of ours. None of our people possess abilities like that.”
The police chief nodded.
He agreed.
If someone with such extraordinary skills existed, the military would have recruited them long ago.
After a moment of thought, he looked at the mayor.
“It must be someone from the Fire Phoenix Special Forces. They’re one of our country’s elite units—having a person like this wouldn’t be impossible.”
“Actually…”
He Lu, who was standing nearby and coordinating support, awkwardly interrupted.
“It’s not one of us. We don’t have any combat personnel trained in archery.”
Who exactly was this mysterious expert?
For a moment, everyone present fell silent once again.
Who was he?
Inside the school building, Ye Cunxin and An Ran were startled by the gunfire.
Unable to see the monitors outside, they assumed the terrorists had begun executing hostages, and both women became anxious.
“Move!”
Ye Cunxin shouted as she rushed toward the auditorium with He Lu.
As expected, two terrorists were guarding the entrance.
The moment they spotted the women, gunfire erupted, delaying their advance.
Meanwhile, Lu Yun had already found a new position.
Drawing another arrow, he stared into a dark corner in the distance.
He suspected the sniper was hidden there, though he couldn’t be certain whether the man had already changed positions.
He needed to test it first.
If he exposed himself recklessly, he would almost certainly be shot in the head.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yun suddenly tossed a wooden arrow over the railing.
Bang!
The sniper fired instantly.
The arrow exploded in midair, and the bullet grazed Lu Yun’s arm as it flew past.
A burning pain shot through him, leaving a charred wound across his skin.
It wasn’t deep—just a flesh wound—but blood flowed freely.
“Now!”
At that very instant, Lu Yun sprang up from behind the railing.
Without hesitation, he twisted his body, drew his bow, and released an arrow.
Whoosh!
The arrow sliced through the air and shot straight into the dark corner.
A muffled cry of pain followed.
Lu Yun didn’t stop.
With a flick of his hand over his shoulder, another arrow leapt from the quiver onto the bowstring.
The bow became a full moon.
Whoosh!
The second arrow struck the darkness.
Then came the third.
And the fourth.
Arrow after arrow poured forth like an endless river.
The four shots flowed together seamlessly, taking less than two seconds to complete.
Guided by sound and instinct, Lu Yun unleashed a deadly barrage that reduced the hidden sniper to silence.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Gunfire suddenly erupted from the first floor.
The last remaining terrorist had pinpointed Lu Yun’s position and began firing wildly through the railings.
Lu Yun leapt aside and changed positions again.
Peering over the railing, his cold eyes locked onto the enemy for just a split second.
That was enough.
Whoosh!
The silver arrow flashed through the air at incredible speed and slammed into the terrorist’s hand, piercing deep into the bone.
Although the bow’s draw weight wasn’t enough to penetrate completely, the pain was unbearable.
The terrorist screamed and instinctively dropped his rifle.
Even so, he reacted quickly and tried to pick the weapon back up.
But Lu Yun gave him no chance.
Drawing another arrow, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
The arrow flew.
Whoosh!
It buried itself directly in the terrorist’s right eye.
“AAAAH!”
The man collapsed to the ground, clutching his face in agony.
He had completely lost the ability to fight.
