The speed of the feathered arrow shot from the Half-Stone Bow could never be this fast, nor could the power be this strong!

This kind of force and speed could probably only be achieved by a Two-Stone Bow!

At a distance of a hundred paces, a Half-Stone Bow can injure an ordinary person.

If replaced with a One-Stone Bow, even a Ninth Grade Martial Artist wouldn't be able to dodge and would be pierced through.

As for a Two-Stone Bow...

Even if you wanted to dodge, it would be too late!

A simple grading test suddenly turned into an unexpected situation with an assassination attempt!

Not to mention the masters on the high platform, even the spectators noticed something was amiss after the arrow was shot.

A Half-Stone Bow with limited power would make the arrow trace a curved trajectory through the air before hitting the target.

But this arrow just now was too fast, turning into a black streak, nearly a straight line, shooting towards Chen Tang at a hundred paces, arriving in an instant!

The Li Family Siblings on the high platform, even if they realized something was wrong, it was too late to act.

Everyone seemed to see the scene of Chen Tang being pierced by an arrow, falling dead in the training ground!

Some people showed pity, some felt regret, and some were gloating...

Pa!

A sound echoed.

The next moment, everyone widened their eyes in shock, leaving only one thought in their minds: "How is this possible!"

The entire training ground was in an uproar!

On the high platform, the Li Family Siblings stood up, both surprised and happy.

Third Young Master Huo looked at the scene in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

County Captain Han Lang squinted slightly, a cold light flashing.

Cai Yin of the Cyan Dragon Bureau's eyes lit up, suddenly straightening up and becoming spirited.

Xu Tong's eyes flashed with a trace of regret before returning to calm.

On the sandy ground of the training ground, Chen Tang had just reached out and caught the arrow shot at him, his body unmoved!

The arrow was less than an inch from his chest, tightly grasped in his hand.

The powerful impact caused the arrow's tail to still tremble slightly!

The archer opposite stood dumbfounded, at a loss.

How is this possible?

He just switched to a Two-Stone Bow, yet that youth opposite, without any defense, actually caught the arrow with his bare hands?

What kind of reflex is this?

Not to mention the spectators, even the governmental officials standing beside were dumbfounded.

Does this count as passing the test?

After all, the arrow didn't hit the body, so it's unclear if he has cultivated Skin Like Armor.

But this person, he caught the arrow!

Chen Tang remained calm, showing no joy or anger, casually tossed the feathered arrow to the ground, and looked up at the high platform not far away.

Only those familiar with him knew that at this moment, he had already moved to kill!

The opponent's move was completely unexpected.

The subtle differences in the sounds of a bowstring being pulled of a Half-Stone Bow and a Two-Stone Bow.

When Chen Tang noticed something wrong with the bowstring sound a hundred paces away, the arrow had already left the string and was approaching, almost upon him!

He cultivated to the Ninth Grade Extreme Realm, displaying an Ice Skin state, with a defense surpassing Copper Skin.

A One-Stone Bow from a hundred paces couldn't injure him.

But he still couldn't withstand the impact of a Two-Stone Bow.

Without time to think, Chen Tang instantly entered the Divine Illumination state, his reaction speed skyrocketing, the black streak arrow seemingly slowing in his sight.

He raised a hand and caught it in his palm!

This was no grading test.

Someone wanted him dead!

The archer opposite was from the military, clearly of military origin.

Only a few families on the high platform could command such an archer!

The biggest suspect was naturally the Daoist Child from the Profound Celestial Temple.

But apart from the Li Family Siblings, it was hard to rule out the others.

Cai Yin turned his head, his eyes roving over the few beside him, grinning, "Someone tampered with the bow."

Xu Tong remained calm.

Third Young Master Huo lowered his eyes, pretending not to hear.

On the platform, Li Zhongmou shouted, "Arrest him!"

Li Boxiong understood, leaping off, rushing towards the archer!

Beside him, another figure followed suit.

Just as Li Boxiong reached and captured the archer's left wrist, County Captain Han Lang also arrived on the other side, his five fingers like eagle claws, locking the archer's right shoulder!

The archer, held by both, couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Speak, who sent you!"

Li Boxiong exerted force with his hand, shouting.

"I don't know what you mean?"

The archer responded, enduring the great pain.

Li Boxiong snorted coldly, applying more force, scolding, "You used a Two-Stone Bow. If you speak honestly, perhaps you still have a chance to live!"

Simultaneously, County Captain Han Lang also increased pressure on the other side.

The archer, in pain, quickly said, "I don't know anything, this bow was there when I took it!"

"Even now, you dare spout nonsense!"

Li Boxiong said coldly, "For a training ground test, you switched to a Two-Stone Bow intending to kill a Ninth Grade Martial Artist, with the Cyan Dragon Bureau's Lord Cai watching; this is a capital crime!"

The archer, hearing this, showed a hint of fear on his face, somewhat wavering.

Seeing this, Li Boxiong pressed on step by step, "Alone, you can't bear it. If you expose who's behind it, perhaps you still have a chance to live!"

"Enough."

Han Lang suddenly spoke, "Hand him over, I'll take him back for questioning, and I won't believe we can't find out who's behind it."

"What does Lord Han mean by this?"

Li Boxiong frowned and asked.

Seeing they were close to getting the archer to talk, Han Lang suddenly interrupted.

Han Lang said lightly, "The grading test must continue; should we let everyone watch as you use force for confession, where is Daqian's law?"

Third Young Master Huo suddenly raised his voice, "Brother Bo Xiong, mind your status, you're not an official of the Court, what right do you have to interrogate others? Lord Han let you ask for so long, already as a favor for your father."

Li Boxiong's face was cold as frost, but he didn't immediately release his grip.

Li Zhongmou leapt down, came to Li Boxiong's side, and whispered, "Brother, let go, with Lord Han here, this indeed is not our jurisdiction."

After a slight pause, Li Zhongmou also looked up to the platform, loudly saying, "However, if Lord Cai from the Cyan Dragon Bureau is willing to step in, I believe Lord Han will hand over the person."

Han Lang's face darkened.

If the Cyan Dragon Bureau really wanted to intervene, he indeed couldn't manage.

Despite Cai Yin being just a Guard Captain, officially a rank lower than him, the Cyan Dragon Bureau answers directly to Emperor Qian, too special.

If the Cyan Dragon Bureau gets involved, the County Government Office must yield.

"Such a trivial matter, the Cyan Dragon Bureau is too lazy to deal with."

On the training ground platform, Cai Yin waved his hand loosely and then, as if jokingly, smiled, "If you, Lord Han, committed a crime, only then would the Cyan Dragon Bureau intervene."

Han Lang sighed lightly, slightly cupping his hands, smiling, "Lord Cai jests, Han maintains integrity, loyal to the emperor, and will not err."

Then, Han Lang looked at Li Boxiong, coldly saying, "Release him!"

At this point, Li Boxiong could only let go of the archer.

Han Lang took the person, threw him to a few constables nearby, saying, "Bind him for me and lock him in the prison."

At this moment, Chen Tang suddenly called out, "Hey, once you're in prison, you're guaranteed not to come out alive, those who ordered you will certainly silence you! Only the dead can keep secrets."

Li Zhongmou seemed to think of something, inwardly praising his cleverness.

The archer's eyes showed a flicker of panic, subconsciously looking towards Third Young Master Huo on the platform, then quickly withdrawing his gaze.

It's him!

Chen Tang noticed the archer's eyes, and already knew in his heart.

"Quickly take him away, don't interfere with the grading test at the training ground!"

Han Lang frowned, scolding, motioning to the constables to quickly escort the archer away.
