Chapter 118: Beating and Robbery

When Divine Hunter shot the first arrow, Shi Ji had already pinpointed his location, but he didn’t strike immediately. He caught the second arrow, and then he caught the third arrow too.

This time, Divine Hunter couldn’t help but be shocked.

Even though Divine Hunter looked down on most of the students from Yinshuang Academy, he couldn’t deny that there were a few with decent abilities. From Shi Ji’s performance, he was clearly one of those few.

Divine Hunter was surprised because he didn’t expect this. He still saw Shi Ji with the same contemptuous eyes.

“You’re pretty cocky, kid. I guess I’ll have to get serious to deal with you.”

As he spoke, Divine Hunter drew another arrow from his quiver, readying to shoot again. But just then, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

“Didn’t expect you to be this weak. I gave you three chances, and you missed all of them.”

The voice came from right beside his ear. Divine Hunter was stunned, his eyes wide open, and his body trembling slightly. At this moment, an invisible yet palpable pressure emanated from behind him.

He knew exactly whose voice that was. The alley below was now empty, and the one person who was there had somehow vanished right under his nose, and now…

‘How… how is this possible! This kid, when…’

Bam!

Divine Hunter felt a heavy blow near his neck, his vision blurred, and he fainted, collapsing to the ground.

Shi Ji stood behind Divine Hunter, his hand still in a chopping position.

“Wow, knocked out with one hit. What’s going on here? He attacked me three times, and I only hit him once. This doesn’t seem fair.”

Shi Ji hadn’t expected this A-class hero to be so fragile. He had planned to give Divine Hunter a good thrashing, but this was almost too easy.

Looking at the unconscious Divine Hunter, Shi Ji felt a bit reluctant to hit him more.

Slap!

Slap!

With a quick motion, Shi Ji slapped Divine Hunter twice, one on each cheek.

“Ha! That felt good. Now we’re even.”

Fairness wasn’t really on Shi Ji’s mind. He just wanted to hit him. Seeing the red handprints on Divine Hunter’s face, anyone could tell it hurt just by looking.

“Sigh… I should go easier next time.”

With a sigh, Shi Ji turned to leave. But after a few steps, he turned back, his gaze falling on Divine Hunter’s black longbow and the quiver lying nearby.

“Well… although Nine Shadows can turn into a bow, it’s too powerful. This ready-made bow and arrows might be better.”

Lin Xinyan had been waiting at the restaurant entrance for Shi Ji. 

She finally saw him returning after ten minutes, which wasn’t too long.

Still, she pretended to be a bit annoyed. “What took you so long?”

Shi Ji hadn’t kept track of time. Hearing Lin Xinyan’s question, he smiled and apologized, “Ah, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Humph! Don’t fake it. I know what you were doing.”

“Hehe, can’t fool you, huh.”

“Do you even know who you’re talking to? Hey, you didn’t hit him too hard, did you?”

“Of course not. That guy couldn’t take a hit. One chop and he was out.”

“Just one?!” Lin Xinyan was surprised.

“Not exactly. After he fainted, I gave him two slaps.”

Amid their banter, Shi Ji took out a large black longbow. “Hehe! Check this out!”
