High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery

"You want me to take back all those words?"

Yan Hao laughed so hard that tears almost came out, as if he had heard an outrageous fantasy story.

Hua Jun's face grew colder and colder.

He realized that this guy was here to stir things up.

Initially, considering their past acquaintance, he didn't want to go too far.

But seeing it today, if he didn't act, this guy was bound to cause a big trouble someday.

Instead of waiting for that, he might as well kill him here today.

"Chairman Hua, your eyes are really cold, could it be that you want to kill me?"

Yan Hao's lips curled up, and he asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"I do have such an intention."

Hua Jun took a deep breath and said, "Yan Hao, if you are willing to come with me to see someone, I can spare your life and even plead for you in front of him."

"Hahaha."

Yan Hao laughed loudly, "Hua Jun, even till now, you still don't understand the situation? Do you think I called you here without preparing a backup plan? Look at yourself, can you still move?"

"What?"

Hua Jun was shocked and suddenly realized that his body was as if immobilized, unable to move!

"What's going on?"

His expression changed dramatically, he took a deep breath and sniffed hard in the air, suddenly awakening with a shout, "Body-Solidifying Incense!"

"Congratulations, you guessed right, but it's too late now."

After saying that, Yan Hao clapped his hands and said, "Brother Xie, you can come out now."

The sound of footsteps approached, and several figures emerged from all corners, surrounding him.

"!!!"

Hua Jun's face turned ashen.

He never expected that there were so many people hidden around.

He was too careless!

Because even the burning Body-Solidifying Incense, he didn't recognize it immediately!

"Chairman Hua, long time no see."

A figure walked up to him, smiling at him.

The voice was somewhat familiar.

Hua Jun fixed his eyes and suddenly his mouth gaped open with a ghostly expression.

"What's the matter, Chairman Hua, just two or three years and you don't recognize us anymore?" The others also walked up, smiles on their faces, giving an unfathomable feeling.

"It's, it's you!"

Hua Jun exclaimed.

He recognized these people immediately, so he found it unbelievable.

"Xie Ming, three years ago, weren't you..."

"Expelled from Anshan City, right?"

"Indeed."

Cold sweat dripped from Hua Jun's forehead, he glanced at Yan Hao through the corner of his eye.

Indeed,

It must have been Yan Hao who revealed the news of Yan Ming and others' incident to Xie Ming and his people, leading to the current scenario.

"I underestimated Yan Hao!"

Hua Jun's face turned pale.

Last night, he was misled by Yan Hao's performance, thinking the other had accepted reality, but as it turned out, he went out and found Xie Ming and them afterward.

Then, they set a trap for him.

One could imagine what awaited him next.

"Chairman Hua, didn't you have a lot to say before?"

Yan Hao stepped forward smugly, "Why aren't you saying anything now? Weren't you going to take me to someone, that person must be the one named Li, right?"

"Yan Hao."

Hua Jun licked his lips and said hoarsely, "Do you know what you're thinking? You brought Yan Ming and the others not just to deal with me, but also the Chairman, right? Let me give you some advice, the Chairman's power is far beyond your imagination, stop now, it's not too late."

"Pshu!"

Yan Hao spat on the ground in disdain, "Li's strength beyond my imagination? Haha, you think I'm scared? Open your eyes and see who's standing in front of you."

Hua Jun looked at Xie Ming, sighed, and said, "Xie Ming, I never thought our first meeting after three years would be like this..."

"Indeed."

Xie Ming said, "I never thought I'd return to Anshan City."

"I remember when you left, there were many like Er Hu and Chang Chun among you."

"They are all dead."

Xie Ming's eyes flashed with sorrow, "Only a few of us managed to leave Anshan City alive."

Hua Jun was stunned.

Then he glanced at Yan Hao again.

Xie Ming and the others' misfortunes were all due to Yan Hao's brother Yan Ming. Logically, Xie Ming and his friends should hate Yan Hao to the bone.

But now, they had joined forces.

It seemed like the old saying was true: there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Despite this, his desire to survive made him decide to try and persuade them.

"Xie Ming, you came this time to deal with the Chairman and take back Anshan City, right?"

Xie Ming and the others exchanged glances but said nothing.

"If that's the case, let me give you some advice, forget it."

Hua Jun gave a bitter smile, "Our Chairman's name is Li Ping, he's a ruthless figure. Don't say C-level Awakeners, even the top-level elite-level Fierce Beasts get slaughtered without a scratch.

Over the years, all of your power may have improved, but whether you can defeat him is a huge unknown..."

"Hua Jun!"

Yan Hao interrupted him, "Stop trying to scare us! Do you think we will believe your rubbish? Hmph, Hua Jun, for the sake of our past acquaintance, I can give you a chance to live. Beg for your life, and I'll let you go, how about it?"

His eyes were filled with mockery.

As if saying, Hua Jun, never thought the tables would turn this quickly, did you?

Of course, there was no way he would let Hua Jun live.

He wanted nothing more than to tear this guy into pieces. So, he wanted to shame Hua Jun before killing him.

"Yan Hao, you're really despicable."

Hua Jun gritted his teeth.

If he had known it would come to this, he would have killed this guy yesterday to prevent future problems.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Yan Hao said smugly, "Throughout history, it's the victor who becomes the king, and the loser the outlaw. Who cares about the means?

Hua Jun, enough talk, I'll give you one last chance, beg for mercy, and I'll spare you. Otherwise, I'll make you experience a fate worse than death!"

Several bearded men looked at Xie Ming.

The latter shook his head slightly.

"Hahaha."

Hua Jun laughed, "Yan Hao, do you think I'm foolish enough to believe your lies that I'll live if I beg for mercy?

If I'm not mistaken, you want to humiliate me before killing me, right?"

Yan Hao's face alternated between green and white.

Seeing this, Hua Jun sneered, "If you want to kill me, then make your move. I'll be waiting for you down below."

He closed his eyes slowly.

Although he had a Protective Talisman, it was only a matter of time before it was broken.

"Fine, fine!"

Yan Hao's eyes glinted with malice.

"Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me for being rude. Brother Xie!"

He looked at Xie Ming and his group, "I'll trouble you guys to kill him, preferably dismember him. It's too kind to kill him easily."

Hua Jun's face turned as pale as paper, he bit his lips tightly.

But after waiting for a while, the expected attack never occurred.

He opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Xie Ming and his group still standing there, not moving an inch.

"What's going on?"

A strange thought entered his mind.

Could it be that Xie Ming and his men were also immobilized like him?

Was that even possible?

He wasn't the only one confused, Yan Hao also looked at Xie Ming and his group in puzzlement.

"Brother Xie?"

Xie Ming turned around at the call.

Yan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said politely, "It seems you didn't hear what I said earlier, I..."

"No, we heard it." Xie Ming suddenly said, interrupting him.

"Yes, not only did we hear it, we heard it clearly."

"You want us to dismember him, right?"

The others also turned around and spoke one after another.

A bad feeling rose in Yan Hao's heart, he subconsciously nodded, "Y-yes, he has a Protective Talisman, and I can't break it for now, so I need your help."

"Sorry, we can't help with that."

Xie Ming shook his head.

"!!!"

Hua Jun's pupils widened.

Did he hear correctly?

Xie Ming and his group refused Yan Hao's order?

Did that mean they were going to betray him?

Hua Jun's heart pounded. If that was the case, wouldn't he be saved today?

Still, a part of him felt uneasy, fearing it was just wishful thinking.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

Yan Hao panicked, his voice trembling, "Didn't we agree? I lured Hua Jun here, you kill him and Li, and you get Anshan City. Brother Xie, have you forgotten?"

"Yan Hao, did you really think we were on the same side?" Xie Ming sneered, "Your brother harmed us so badly, we'd love to skin you alive, pull out your veins, drink your blood, and eat your flesh, and you think we'd cooperate with you? Wishful thinking!"

As soon as he finished speaking, numerous wooden spikes shot up from the ground like bamboo after rain, quickly wrapping around Yan Hao's legs.

A glow flashed around Yan Hao, clearly his Protective Shield was activating, but the wooden spikes didn't harm him, instead they bound him tightly, leaving only his face exposed.
