Through the scope on the crossbow, Fu Xiyao carefully tried to discern who was aiming at her.
Sensing the raindrops continuously dripping onto the water tanker, Fu Xiyao gently moved her crossbow slightly, subtly changing her aim.
After Fu Xiyao made continuous adjustments, the crossbow finally accurately aimed at the executive officer who was waving his hands and directing the queue in the rain.
After confirming that her aim was correct, Fu Xiyao excitedly spoke:
"Aim ready!"
“It’s him,” Fu Xiyao confirmed.
After aiming at the target, the aiming circle in Li Yu's eyes quickly shrank again.
Li Yu held his breath and focused intently, and the accuracy of his aiming circle increased significantly once again.
After remaining motionless for three seconds, he gently pulled the trigger.
"Buzz"
The black arrow shot out like a black lightning bolt.
The arrows quickly flew towards Zhang Biao's resting troops.
Zhang Biao only heard a sharp sound of air being cut, and only had time to shout loudly:
"Oh no! Lie down!"
He thought the archer had come seeking revenge again.
The arrow arrived in an instant, and Zhang Biao was immediately filled with fear.
"So fast!"
He can't stop him!
This feeling suddenly burst forth from the depths of Zhang Biao's heart.
"call!"
With a slight tremor, the black arrow flew swiftly over Zhang Biao's head.
The black arrow flew directly over Zhang Biao's team and shot towards the safe zone.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Biao finally breathed a long sigh of relief, his body covered in cold sweat.
That savage archer has grown so fast! If this arrow had been aimed at him, he would have been dead for sure!
The black arrow, like a messenger of death, pierced the rain curtain with a hissing sound as it rubbed against the air.
The target was aimed directly at the executive officer's chest.
"Didn't you understand when I told you to stand in line?"
The executive officer glared angrily and shouted.
He glared at the disobedient refugee with a look of disgust.
Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came over me.
A flicker of fear crossed the executive officer's eyes; he had realized the danger was imminent.
He wanted to escape, but everything happened too fast for him to react.
"drink!"
Under the threat of death, the executive officer unleashed all his energy without hesitation.
A powerful supernatural ability quickly enveloped his entire body.
"Pfft"
The black arrow pierced the executor's chest in an instant, spraying a cloud of blood.
His superpower didn't even have a chance to take effect before he was instantly pierced through.
The executive officer's body jolted violently. He slowly lowered his head, staring blankly at his chest, and murmured:
"How is that possible!?"
The executive officer had a huge, gaping hole in his chest and was clearly not going to survive.
"I...but..."
The executive officer's body collapsed limply, his eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe he had died so easily, even in death.
A gasp of surprise erupted from the surrounding crowd.
However, since an assassination attempt had already occurred, the onlookers did not descend into chaos, as the assailant was not targeting them.
Everyone continued to gather around and watch the spectacle.
"Protect the Holy Son!"
The patrol captain shouted and rushed out of the gate, his men quickly protecting the Holy Son in the middle.
The sentries on the high walls of the shelter looked tense, their eyes scanning the distance warily, trying to spot any possible enemies.
The patrol captain walked briskly and without hesitation went directly to the back of the officer who had fallen.
His eyes were sharp as he eagerly searched for something.
Soon, the patrol captain discovered a black arrow, which was now deeply embedded in the high wall.
He pulled the arrow out of the wall with force and examined it carefully, scrutinizing every detail, from the material to the craftsmanship.
The patrol captain frowned, glanced back at the direction the arrow had traveled, and quickly issued the order:
"Quickly, search for the assassin!" The patrol captain's voice carried a hint of anger.
The shelter was attacked twice in one day, which was a blatant provocation!
"Follow me!"
The patrol captain nimbly mounted his camel and sped off without hesitation.
Because time was of the essence, if they hesitated even a little, the murderer could escape.
The shelter's patrolmen immediately sprang into action, following behind the patrol leader.
Several other patrol teams also rushed out at the same time.
Led by the patrol captain, a thorough, carpet-style search began in the area from which the black arrows had been fired.
Watching the crowd rush out, the patrolman beside the Holy Son knelt down and whispered a plea:
"Your Holiness, let's retreat back inside the high walls."
With the bodyguards and captain absent, he couldn't possibly bear the responsibility of protecting the Holy Son.
The holy child on the camel in the rain did not speak.
His gaze was deep and calm, as if piercing through layers of rain and mist, seemingly seeing something that others could not perceive, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
“It seems things are getting more interesting,” the Holy Son murmured, a hint of elusive amusement in his voice.
Several kilometers away.
Fu Xiyao suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of excitement:
"Dead!"
She could already sense that the executor in the rain had collapsed to the ground, and his life force was gradually fading away.
"That's so accurate!"
Fu Xiyao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She knew that this was the limit of her superpower's range, yet Li Yu was able to accurately hit the target from such a distance.
