Chapter 987: Chapter 9: Miracles Really Do Happen [2-in-1]_3 Chapter 987: Chapter 9: Miracles Really Do Happen [2-in-1]_3 Dong Tiesong stepped forward, sheathed his long sword, and stood in front of everyone as he said indifferently, “Those who are dear, since you’re wearing masks, you aren’t willing to reveal yourselves, are you?”

The person sneered, “As death approaches, wouldn’t it be nice to go to the grave as a fool, blissfully ignorant in life?”

Dong Tiesong let out a loud laugh and said, “Perhaps it will be you smart ones who head to the Yellow Springs first? Aren’t you going to hurry up and come forward to accept death, instead of jabbering?”

“No need to rush, no need to rush. We should allow you, Dong Tiesong, to savor the grandeur and prosperity of the world a bit longer, as a master of Cloud Top, you’re worthy of such consideration.”

The leading masked figure in black sneered, “Of course, another one worthy of mention is Jiang Changhai of the Absolute Sword Devil Palace… Jiang Changhai! I wonder if your death here today will count as a victory for the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace or for the Absolute Sword Devil Palace?”

Jiang Changhai emerged from the devilish mist and let out a strange laugh, “Whether it’s Cloud Palace or Devil Palace, if you have the ability to do so, then you might as well send this old man to his final resting place.”

“Hehe…”

The masked figure in black gave a light laugh, “Jiang Changhai, you’re not worth uttering such words.”

Jiang Changhai said, “Whether I’m worth it or not, one wouldn’t know without actually fighting, wouldn’t they, I know.”

Dong Tiesong said, “We’ll settle the confusion later. Since you won’t say where you’re from, there must be some reason for blocking our way here, right? Your actions are despicable, yet your cultivation and combat power are not mediocre. Clearly, you are not nobodies, but I have no idea what wrong we of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace have done to provoke you all to such drastic action?”

The figure in black said, “Telling you the truth doesn’t hurt. Our goal is solely with the young palace mistress, Dong Xiaoyan. She just needs to accompany us to our territory for a short visit.”

“Oh?”

“As long as the young mistress comes with us, I, the old man, guarantee her safety. She won’t lose a single hair! Regardless of the final outcome, in at most half a month, we will bring her back safe and sound.”

The masked figure in black said, “Elder Dong, my masked conduct indeed may seem evasive, but it is because I don’t wish to completely fall out with the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, nor do I want to cause unrest that the entire martial world cannot endure. Just put the young mistress through half a month of inconvenience, and then all can be concluded. Afterward, we’ll naturally have a suitable recompense for the Cloud Palace, what do you think?”

Dong Tiesong laughed heartily, “It sounds as if our Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace is truly eager for your recompense, like I’m really tempted!”

The masked figure in black’s expression turned cold, “It seems Elder Dong doesn’t intend to give this face?”

Dong Tiesong sneered, “Face is something one earns for oneself; hardly any are given by others. I would actually like to give you this face, but I’m afraid you might not be able to handle it and get crushed to death, you damn dog!”

“Hahahahaha…”

The figure in black laughed long and hard, the sound reverberating through the sky.

“Since you refuse the toast, then you must drink the punishment.”

“Attack!”

A stern shout suddenly pierced the air.

Immediately after.

Whoosh!

A beam of light, as if transcending the limits of time and space, pierced straight through Dong Tiesong’s chest.

This beam of light was so fast that even Feng Yin didn’t see it.

With Dong Tiesong’s cultivation and his ability to react to emergencies, he could only manage just in time to slightly turn his body, avoiding his heart, and he couldn’t avoid being severely wounded by the shot through his chest.

A thin stream of blood arrowed from both the front and back of Dong Tiesong’s chest, hissing as it sprayed out.

Feng Yin froze, his expression grave.

The speed of this attack even reminded him of the legendary Little Li Flying Dagger.

It showed the swiftness of the strike.

Facing such an unexpected turn, Dong Tiesong himself was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he clutched his chest wound with one hand, gritting his teeth and roaring, “Cloud Piercing Arrow! I know who you are now! You despicable villain who harms others with hidden arrows!”

Cloud Piercing Arrow.

The number one archer in the world!

On the other side, the leading masked figure in black laughed heartily, “What good is it for you to know now? You’re nothing but a trapped turtle, a wandering soul at the bottom of the cauldron!”

Dong Tiesong shouted, “Brother Jiang! Everything here, I entrust to you!”

Jiang Changhai rushed over, stood before everyone, and said in a deep voice, “Rest assured.”

Dong Tiesong’s eyes were fiercer than ever, and spiritual energy surged wildly around him. A surge of pure spiritual power temporarily completely sealed off the wound, ensuring his battle power wasn’t lost.

At this moment, anger truly flared within him, and he was even prepared for a fight to the death.

He knew himself best, and he knew that the arrow wound he just received was deadly; even if he sought immediate treatment, it would not heal quickly.

And in the current situation, fraught with danger, the enemy would certainly not grant him such an opportunity, and the present battle circumstance left no room for other choices!

Severely injured, even if he could suppress the wound and retain a fair amount of fighting strength, it certainly wouldn’t last; if he engaged in combat with a high-level expert, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

This sudden arrow was truly too vicious.

Dong Tiesong reckoned that his most glorious achievement today would be if he managed to drag one of the enemies to death with him, that would be the limit.

“Watch out for the Cloud Piercing Arrow.”

Dong Tiesong quietly warned Jiang Changhai.

“I know.”

Jiang Changhai’s gaze was as grave as ever.

From the moment Dong Tiesong was wounded, the situation had completely spiraled out of control, and as soon as the identity of the ambusher was called out, a shadow was cast over the hearts of all on his side, with no one doubting whether they would follow in Dong Tiesong’s footsteps!

The three words “Cloud Piercing Arrow” had a great deterrent effect on those who knew what they meant.

Dong Xiaoyan hurried forward, supported Dong Tiesong, and said, “Great Uncle, don’t be too anxious; things have not yet reached a point of hopelessness.”
