Chapter 1290 - 1289: Lin Fan Strikes Back!
The sudden scene seemed to astonish the archers hidden behind the tree trunks!
Lin Fan’s sword speed was incredibly fast and precise. The fierceness of this slash left everyone’s faces showing a mix of shock!
Immediately, Lin Fan hurriedly executed a thousand-pound fall, causing his body to quickly plummet through the air to the snow, then hide behind the tree trunks again!
"Pop pop pop~"
Several crisp sounds rang out as arrows shot forth, all hitting the frozen tree trunks!
Afterward, Lin Fan caught a glimpse ahead, seeing wooden crossbows being pulled out in the snow, each crossbow mounting three arrows, their sharp iron tips glinting coldly under the light!
The power of these crossbows was immense, their arrows at least ten times more powerful than those shot by the archers!
"Everyone be careful, get down!" Lin Fan urgently reminded the brothers of the Suicide Squad!
"Whiz whiz whiz~" "Whiz whiz whiz~"...
Instantly, whistling sounds filled the air as arrows shot across, rapidly piercing the air. The thick arrows pierced through the tree trunks behind, penetrating both ice and wood, coming out halfway on the other side!
If hiding behind the tree trunk, these arrows would undoubtedly pierce through it and stab into a person’s body!
Fortunately, thanks to Lin Fan’s timely warning, no one was injured!
But following the round of crossbow fire, several more crossbows were raised from the snow!
Seeing this, Lin Fan’s expression grew extremely grim!
No one knew just how many crossbows were hidden in that snowy ground, and these arrows were a tremendous threat, capable of penetrating tree trunks, posing the biggest danger to Lin Fan and the others!
Moreover, what left Lin Fan and the others feeling helpless was that the crossbows were tied with steel wires, only requiring a pull to fire; thus hiding behind the tree trunks allowed one to attack safely and stealthily!
This left Lin Fan and the others at a loss on how to kill their target!
"We must first eliminate these crossbows!"
Lin Fan thought silently, his gaze sidelong on the nearby crossbows, noting the thin steel wires reflecting silvery light in the sunlight. Lin Fan followed the direction of the wire pulling, discovering that all the crossbow wires extended in one direction!
Meaning there was only one person controlling these crossbows!
"Whiz~"
Someone spotted Lin Fan peeking out, immediately shooting an arrow!
However, the direction the arrow came from was clearly caught by Lin Fan!
He quickly dodged, the arrow scraping past the ice-covered tree trunk, cracking the ice with fissures!
Immediately, Lin Fan called out to Nie Lei: "There’s an enemy at the two o’clock direction to the left, you guys cover me, I’ll go destroy those crossbows first!"
"Understood!"
Nie Lei hurriedly nodded, passing Lin Fan’s command to the other brothers!
After nodding, everyone raised their guns, ready to act at Lin Fan’s command!
Lin Fan took a deep breath and stopped hesitating. He made an "OK" gesture and charged out from behind the tree trunk, as swift as a leopard!
"Whiz whiz whiz~"
The moment Lin Fan appeared, he exposed himself to the archers’ gaze, three arrows rapidly flew toward him!
Lin Fan was prepared; seeing the three arrows nearing, he powered his legs to jump and roll on the snow, deftly evading the arrows’ attack!
Simultaneously, the brothers of the Suicide Squad also readied themselves, raising their weapons and frantically pulling the triggers!
"Rat-tat-tat~" "Rat-tat-tat~"
Suddenly, gunshots broke out densely!
Each person aimed and fired bullets at a tree trunk, shattering the ice covering it, making multiple bullet holes!
The archers hearing the gunfire were each terrified, hiding behind the trunks, not daring to peek out!
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Fan accelerated madly, rushing toward the direction where the crossbow controller hid!
And just as Lin Fan was about to reach the hidden position, unexpectedly, the snow ahead suddenly lifted, revealing a crossbow only two meters away from Lin Fan!
With a pull of the wire, arrows on the crossbow shot out in unison, their cold glint aiming mercilessly at Lin Fan’s chest!
Lin Fan dared not be careless; as the crossbow appeared, he quickly bounced up, flipping in mid-air, letting the three arrows pass beneath him without a scratch, escaping the danger!
After landing, Lin Fan quickly sprinted a few steps, arriving in the blink of an eye before the Wind Celestial Tower disciple controlling the crossbows!
"You..."
The disciple saw Lin Fan, his face full of shock, but just managed to utter one word before Lin Fan’s hand swung the Soft Sword out swiftly!
"Slash~"
The sharp blade traced the disciple’s throat, slashing directly from his throat to his chest, tearing a long bloody gash where blood gushed out, and he fell silently to the ground!
Afterward, Lin Fan grabbed the steel wires in his hand, pulling hard to reveal all the hidden crossbows in the snow!
Without hesitation, Lin Fan slashed using Sword Slash, severing all the steel wires, rendering the crossbows incapable of attacking!
Soon, the Suicide Squad brothers finished a round of attacks, the Wind Celestial Tower archers poked out again, spotting Lin Fan, they drew their bows and fired arrows!
But this time, Lin Fan didn’t dodge; instead, he targeted an archer nearest to him, rushing quickly!
Arrows shot towards him, yet Lin Fan showed no fear; his Soft Sword swung in the air quickly, unleashing a flurry of "snap-snap-snap" sounds!
The arrows flying straight at Lin Fan were swiftly cut by his Soft Sword, snapping and falling to the ground!
Then Lin Fan lunged forward forcefully like a tiger bursting from its cage, swiftly reaching the opposite side of the tree trunk where the archer hid!
Lin Fan thrust with the Soft Sword, its sharp tip piercing towards the tree, shattering the ice, the Soft Sword pierced through the trunk, its sharp tip emerging from the other side, stabbing into the archer hidden behind!
Blood spilled onto the snow, freezing into ice beads!
Subsequently, Lin Fan picked up the wooden bow from the fallen archer, swiftly grabbing three arrows and nocking them, with a shake of his hand, he shot the arrows towards the trunks hiding the archers!
With Lin Fan’s strength, the three arrows shot surpassed the power of those fired by Wind Celestial Tower disciples!
The three arrows lined up, precisely hitting the trunk, penetrating ice, passing through the trunk, and instantly killing the archer hidden behind!
