“You?” Lu Bu narrowed his eyes. “Come on then! I love fighting with those who think they are capable! I hope you can spoil me with a little bit of challenge!”

“Hmph! You may be strong, but you will never be able to win a fight against me, Lu Mingjun! You can try and beat me in your dreams!”

Lu Mingjun was very confident.

Chen Xiaobei, who was still observing in the corner, could not help but feel worried. “Someone is bound to get injured in this fight! An injured Lu Mingjun would be the best outcome. But what happens if Lu Bu was the one who’s injured?”

“The fight’s going to start now. Let’s take a step back.”

The rest stepped backwards to keep their distance from the fiery battle between two demigods.

But Ji Xiong did not move.

“Step back!” Lu Bu barked.

Ji Xiong’s cultivation was lower and his safety would be compromised if he stood too near the core of the storm.

But Ji Xiong chuckled in response. “There’s no need to fight! We just need to untangle this misunderstanding!”

“Misunderstanding?”

Lu Bu, Lu Mingjun, and the others were puzzled.

Chen Xiaobei began to feel a little nervous. “Shit! Lu Bu is just a soldier! He never puts any effort into solving the problems with his brain! However, Ji Xiong is a wise man and he often is able to see a bigger picture than someone else! If Lu Bu dissolves this misunderstanding, not only will they not fight; they might even become allies and target me!”

Chen Xiaobei quickly retreated and stepped outside of the Lu’s courtyard.

“Ji Xiong must die or there’ll be no end to my troubles!”

Chen Xiaobei had already taken out a grass puppet equipped with a sigil, and the Head Piercing Seven Arrows Spiritual Instrument.

He then armed the bow with an arrow, and shot the head of the puppet.

However, whatever that he had pictured to happen, did not happen. In fact, there was not even the slightest hint of energy fluctuation.

“What? That’s the correct way to do it! After putting a sigil, then kill! Why didn’t anything happen? Let me try one more shot!”

Chen Xiaobei drew the string back and released another arrow.

The arrow stabbed through the heart of the puppet, but like earlier before, there was no changes to the puppet.

“That’s strange? Did Old Wang not complete the sigil? Please don’t do this to me…”

Chen Xiaobei shook his head.

This was not something to be joked about!

The Elite Hunting Competition was just three days away. If Ji Xiong has not been killed, how was Chen Xiaobei supposed to be able to go and have fun?

Swoop! Swoop! Swoop! Swoop!

Chen Xiaobei shot another four arrows; one on each of the puppet’s arms and legs.

“What the hell?! Still no response?! This is freaking important!” Chen Xiaobei started to sweat.

He then used his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to look through the wall and see what was happening.

Ji Xiong had already begun explaining the misunderstanding to the Lu family.

“I figured that the assassin you were talking about must be Chen Xiaobei!” Ji Xiong said.

“What do you mean?” Both Lu Bu and Lu Mingjun looked at Ji Xiong quizzically.

“Bro Lu and I came here because we had predicted that Chen Xiaobei would be nearby!”

Ji Xiong’s gaze swept across the Lu family members. “Just when Bro Lu and I arrive here, we were immediately surrounded by all of you, which meant that you were waiting for someone! But there’s no way Chen Xiaobei would have known about us coming! So, this is not Chen Xiaobei’s trap, and neither are you guys Chen Xiaobei’s cavalry! The only explanation is that the person you are waiting for is most probably Chen Xiaobei! It’s only because he came here that Bro Lu and I would appear here!”

Ji Xiong’s audience stared at him, still confused.

Only Lu Bu understood what Ji Xiong was suggesting. “I remember now! Chen Xiaobei had the Nightstalker Outfit! He must have snuck in but we just couldn’t see him! That means Chen Xiaobei is that assassin you have been waiting for!”

Behind the walls of the courtyard, Chen Xiaobei began to panic. “This Ji Xiong really is something. His deduction is completely accurate! No wonder Shen Gongpao went through all that trouble to get him out of the underworld!”

“This is my last arrow! Please work or I’m screwed, big time!” Chen Xiaobei’s hand was shaking when he picked up the 7th arrow.

Swoop!

Strings drawn, arrow released!

The last arrow went straight through the puppet’s Dantian.

“What are the both of you talking about? Who is Chen Xiaobei? Why are you saying that he is the assassin?”

Lu Mingjun asked, squinting at the two men suspiciously.

Had someone else made such a claim, Lu Mingjun would not have believed them. But after he had seen Lu Bu’s herculean strength, he knew that there was no need for someone as strong as Lu Bu to make up stories.

That was why Lu Bu wanted to hear their explanation.

“You might not know him because I call him Chen Xiaobei. But if I mentioned his other name, you might not be strangers after all!” Ji Xiong smiled. “Chen Xiaobei’s other name is called Chen – ahhhh!!”

The name which Ji Xiong was about to reveal was obviously Chen Zhufeng. Lu Changwei and Zhu Dachang would know who that was.

But before Ji Xiong could reveal, he did not get a chance to finish his sentence. He let out a sudden cry of pain, unable to speak.

“What is it? Ji Xiong? What happened?” Lu Bu shouted, an unexpectedly surprising hint of fear revealed in his eyes.

“Owww! Oww! Owwwww!!”

Suddenly all at the same time, Ji Xiong’s head, heart, arms, legs and his Dantian; all seven parts of his body were pierced by seven bloody arrows.

Bam!

Ji Xiong, who was perfectly fine a second ago, fell to the ground, dead. He did not even know why or how he had moaned in pain!

“Wh… What’s happening?”

When everyone including Lu Mingjun and the core members of the Lu family saw this, they were all dumbfounded.

“Chen Xiaobei! Chen Xiaobei show yourself! Come out now!” The others might have not known this, but Lu Bu knew that this was Chen Xiaobei’s handiwork.

“Quickly, go search around nearby and look! If there’s anyone suspicious, I want you to bring them back here immediately!” Lu Mingjun barked.

His men got into action immediately.

Outside the courtyard.

Chen Xiaobei stared at the puppet, shocked.

The arrows on the puppet’s body lit up in red! The rays merged and formed the Head Piercing Seven Arrows sigil!

What was even more shocking was that the parts where the arrows had pierced was emitting fresh blood!

“Taiyin True Deity is telling me the truth! This killing technique can come in pretty handily!”

Chen Xiaobei let out a long breath of relief.

But his problems were not over yet.

Within the walls of the courtyard.

Lu Mingjun asked, “Mr. Lu, your friend mentioned that Chen Xiaobei has another name. What is it?”
