Chapter 271 Ten Million Dollars for Life

Zhang Ming had no time to rest and immediately picked up the fourth arrow.

At this moment, he felt a tightness in his chest and his arms became unusually heavy. Every time he pulled the bow, it felt like he was fighting against a thousand-pound weight.

"You must hold on..."

Zhang Ming silently cheered himself up in his heart.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened his eyes with a flash of determination in his eyes.

He used all his strength to shoot the arrow out.

"puff!"

The sound of the arrow hitting the straw man came, but Zhang Ming could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Big Liu rushed forward and supported Zhang Ming.

Huo Lingfeng quickly stuffed Peiyuan Dan into his mouth and said anxiously, "Hold on, Zhang Ming, there are only three arrows left."

He kept Huo Qinghuang's words in mind and stuffed three more pills this time.

It has to be said that for a mortal like Zhang Ming, the effect of Peiyuan Dan is quite good, especially when taking three pills at a time.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current slowly spread throughout Zhang Ming's body, allowing him to regain some strength.

He weakly pushed Da Liu away, his voice hoarse but firm: "I'm fine, continue."

There was a hint of worry in Liu's deep eyes. He seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and finally stepped aside.

Zhang Ming staggered to the altar again and reached for the fifth arrow.

At this moment, his steps were unsteady, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but his eyes revealed a ruthless look.

At this time, no one could associate him with the timid roast duck vendor of the past.

It is said that appearance is determined by the heart, which is absolutely true.

Although Zhang Ming is now emaciated and looks like he is about to die on the spot, his face is resolute, his eyes are firm, and he exudes an indomitable will.

With trembling fingers, he finally grasped the fifth arrow.

The small arrow in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every bit of weight reminded him of his physical weakness and the difficulty of the task at hand.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat, but the heart in his chest was beating chaotically like a mad beast.

Zhang Ming knew that this was his body’s warning, but he couldn’t stop.

He slowly placed the small arrow on the mulberry branch bow. His arms trembled slightly due to the force and the veins on his forehead bulged.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull the bowstring. The bowstring was pulled into the shape of a full moon, making a "squeaking" sound, and it seemed like it would break at any time.

"It must succeed..."

Zhang Ming prayed silently in his heart, then suddenly let go of his hand.

The small arrow was like a brown lightning, cutting through the air and flying towards the straw man.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Zhang Ming, Huo Lingfeng and Da Liu all followed Xiao Jian closely, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

"puff!"

The small arrow hit the straw man's chest accurately, making a dull sound.

"good!"

Huo Lingfeng couldn't help but applaud, a gratified smile on his face.

Da Liu also breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry in his eyes eased slightly.

Zhang Ming, however, did not feel the slightest bit of joy. His body was shaking from exerting too much force. His legs went weak and he almost fell down again.

But he managed not to fall down, and looked at the two remaining arrows on the altar with determined eyes.

"There are two left..."

Zhang Ming muttered to himself, and the cruelty in his eyes became more and more intense.

Victory was just around the corner. If he could hold on a little longer, he could kill the straw man.

He dragged his heavy body to the altar again and reached for the sixth arrow.

This time, his movements were slower and more difficult than before, as if every movement was exhausting all his strength.

But he did not stop. His eyes revealed a determination, a resolution not to give up until he achieved his goal.

Liu Da moved his lips twice, but in the end he could only stand aside silently.

The bowstring was pulled to its full length again. This time, Zhang Ming's arms trembled even more violently and he could hardly control the force of the bowstring.

But he still gritted his teeth and insisted on shooting the arrow.

The small arrow drew an arc in the air and flew towards the straw man.

However, this time the arrow's speed was obviously much slower than before, and its trajectory was also slightly offset.

"No……"

Zhang Ming was shocked and watched the arrow fly past the straw man's chest and hit his shoulder.

"Shoot, miss the target?"

He held back the blood that was about to spurt out of his mouth and looked at Huo Lingfeng nervously.

Huo Lingfeng frowned, but quickly said, "It's okay, as long as the arrows don't go in vain."

"That's good."

Zhang Ming nodded weakly, feeling relieved. He could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground.

Huo Lingfeng's expression changed and he hurriedly stuffed the pill into his mouth again.

"There is one last arrow."

After swallowing the pill with blood, Zhang Ming muttered to himself incoherently.

Big Liu couldn't bear to look at Zhang Ming who was lying limp on the ground.

He never thought that an ordinary person could have such a strong will.

At this time, Zhang Ming's face was as pale as paper, blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his body was still shaking slightly.

"Second Young Master, he's already like this, can he really continue?"

Da Liu couldn't help but ask, with a hint of pity in his voice.

Huo Lingfeng frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhang Ming has reached his limit, but once the Seven Arrows Book is started, it cannot be easily stopped, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"We must continue! Liu, you and I both know the interests involved."

Huo Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "If we give up now, all our previous efforts will be in vain, and Zhang Ming will suffer even more serious backlash.

However, after the straw man falls down, he can rest for a while before continuing. "

Liu was silent.

He understood that Huo Lingfeng was right, but he still felt bad seeing Zhang Ming in so much pain.

"I, I can still do it. Let's do it again!"

Zhang Ming stood up trembling, his legs shaking like a sieve, but he still stood stubbornly.

Huo Lingfeng looked at Zhang Ming, feeling a surge of admiration in his heart.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Ming, don't worry, as long as you stick to it, Qing Huang will definitely fulfill his promise."

After thinking for a moment, he added, “In addition, after all three straw men fall, I will personally compensate you 10 million.”

Zhang Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief: "One, ten million?"

"good."

Huo Lingfeng nodded slightly.

Ten million is just a drop in the bucket for him, but if he could wipe out all the Qiu family members, it would be a great deal.

"good!"

Zhang Ming wiped his face, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

At this time, his legs and hands stopped shaking, and he felt full of strength.

Ten million!

Even if you cut it into slices and sell it, you won't get that much money!

This is his life-saving money!

No matter who comes, no one can stop him from making money!

Zhang Ming took a deep breath, walked to the altar again, and picked up the last arrow.

This time, his movements were extremely slow, but his eyes were bright and his hands did not tremble at all.

He placed the small arrow on the bow and pulled the bowstring steadily.
