<h4>Chapter 1393: Chapter 1701: The Mysterious Kidnapper (3)</h4>


    Just as he put the note into his pocket, he saw the door being pushed open from outside. Shortly afterward, several men in suits rushed in and surrounded Ling Chen. Watching the arrow in Ling Chen’s hand, one of the suited men frowned slightly, reached out to take the arrow, and asked, "Where is the person?"


    Ling Chen shrugged and said, "What person? It’s just me here."


    The suited man snorted, walked to the shattered ss window, stuck his head out, and took a few nces outside. After a while, he turned his gaze back to Ling Chen and said, "Yourpanions havee to rescue you, aren’t you feeling happy?"


    Ling Chen replied indifferently, "I’m still here; what’s there to be happy about?"


    "It’s best if you think that way, because those who came to rescue you won’t leave alive. I advise you to stay put here." After finishing, the suited man waved his hand and left the room with his men.


    After they left, Ling Chen immediately pulled out the note from his pocket and nced at its contents.


    Signal? Ling Chen was slightly startled, and his lips curled into a faint smile. After thinking for a moment, Ling Chen walked to a switch, turned off the room’s lights, then turned them back on, repeating the process several times.


    Meanwhile, outside the vi, Qiu Yong and others noticed the change in the lights of the room and exchanged a look. Zhang Zhongfeng understood and stood up again, with a bow and arrow aimed at Ling Chen’s room, prepared to send the message over.


    Whoosh!


    Apanied by the sound of breaking through the air, the arrow shot directly towards the room. Since the ss of the room had already been destroyed, everyone didn’t have to worry about causing attention.


    However, just as the arrow was about to enter the room, it suddenly wobbled mid-flight. Subsequently, the trajectory of the arrow veered to the side, embedding itself in the wall.


    Seeing this, Qiu Yong and others were stunned, all focusing their gaze on Zhang Zhongfeng. The name of the "Arrow God" is not in vain; with Zhang Zhongfeng’s skill, such a low-level mistake wouldn’t happen.


    Zhang Zhongfeng frowned slightly and spoke, "Someone interfered with my arrow."


    "Who?"


    Zhang Zhongfeng shook his head and said, "Not sure. However, being able to aplish this means the other’s strength is quite formidable." Just as he finished speaking, a ’whoosh’ sound was heard, as if something was breaking through the air. Before Qiu Yong and others could speak, Zhang Zhongfeng’s face changed drastically, urgently drawing his bow and firing an arrow.


    It was only at this moment that everyone noticed an arrow shot from the direction of the vi. With Zhang Zhongfeng’s movements, the two arrows soon collided in mid-air. Amazingly, when the arrows collided, the arrow shot by Zhang Zhongfeng was split open by the other arrow. Not only that, but the momentum of that arrow didn’t diminish, heading straight for Zhang Zhongfeng.


    Seeing the arrow quickly approaching, Zhang Zhongfeng hastily drew two arrows and quickly shot them out. Under the blockade of three arrows, that arrow was finally knocked down. Although they sessfully resolved this sudden attack, Qiu Yong and others broke out in a cold sweat.


    Everyone knew Zhang Zhongfeng’s prowess; his arrows were feared even by ranking experts on the Heavenly List. However, it was unknown who made the shot—it was terrifyingly powerful. At this moment, everyone finally understood why Ling Chen advised Ling Kun over the phone not toe for the rescue.


    "Big brother, what should we do now?"


    Upon hearing Yuan Yun’s inquiry, Qiu Yong thought for a moment and said, "Let’s go, we’ll discuss further after retreating. No matter who kidnapped Ling Chen, they are not someone we can provoke." Everyone agreed with Qiu Yong’s decision without any objections.


    At once, they slowly retreated from around the vi and then returned to the base by car.


    After understanding Qiu Yong and others’ encounter, Ling Kun and others fell into silence. The Southern Ling Family had already been destroyed, and now suddenly a master appeared, leaving everyone puzzled about who would do such a thing.


    While pondering, Ling Kun nced at Zhang Zhongfeng beside him and said, "Zhang,e over and help me with something."


    Zhang Zhongfeng, without a word, followed Ling Kun to a spacious spot. The crowd, seeing this, didn’t know what Ling Kun intended to do and gathered around.


    "Zhang, could I borrow two arrows from you?"


    Receiving the arrows from Zhang Zhongfeng, Ling Kun slowly retreated, putting some distance between himself and Zhang Zhongfeng. Seeing Ling Kun’s actions, everyone immediately understood his intention—he wanted to evaluate the strength of the master from the vi.


    "Are you ready? Here I go." As he finished speaking, Ling Kun flicked his wrist, sending an arrow shooting forth, quickly heading towards Zhang Zhongfeng. Seeing the arrow approaching, Zhang Zhongfeng skillfully drew and fired an arrow, instantly knocking the arrow out of mid-air.


    "How much power did you use just now?"


    Upon hearing Qiu Yong’s inquiry, Ling Kun replied, "About seventy percent." After pausing, Ling Kun continued, "Now I’ll try using full strength."


    Yet, the result remained unchanged; Zhang Zhongfeng easily knocked the arrow down to the ground, feeling no pressure at all.


    "Let me give it a try."


    At this time, a voice came from behind the crowd. Turning around, everyone saw Tong Zhentian and He Ziyun walking side by side.


    "Elder Tong, Mr. He, you’ve arrived."


    Tong Zhentian nodded and said, "I heard Ling Chen was kidnapped, so we came to check out the situation." Saying this, Tong Zhentian took Ling Kun’s ce and took an arrow. With a slight preparation, Tong Zhentian’s entire aura erupted, shooting the arrow forth like a gust of wind, instantly flying away. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to catch a glimpse of the arrow’s shadow.


    ng!


    Amidst a crisp sound, the tips of the two arrows collided fiercely, both dropping to the ground. Upon closer inspection, the tips of the two arrows were deformed. This demonstrated the tremendous power contained within them.


    Zhang Zhongfeng slowly put away his longbow, shaking his head and said, "Your power hasn’t even reached half of that person’s."


    Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression finally changed. What a joke! Tong Zhentian is a towering figure in Martial Arts, a universally recognized expert. If Su He from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is considered the first in the world, Tong Zhentian’s strength would rank in the top three. Yet, Zhang Zhongfeng imed he wasn’t even half as strong as the opponent. How formidable must that person be?


    "Fourth Brother, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?" Yuan Yun asked, "In Martial Arts, those stronger than Elder Tong are few; could that person truly be that powerful?"


    Zhang Zhongfeng nodded and said, "That person’s strength is extremely terrifying; I have personally experienced it. Furthermore, the scariest thing is that we still don’t know if that is their true strength."
