Chapter 16: Phantom Arrow
Hero Template.
From the moment of their awakening, these individuals receive special attention from the Heavens themselves.
They have immense potential for growth, possessing exceptional abilities that allow them to reach higher, more powerful realms—even the highest rank, Mythic.
Chen Feng didn't like being around these people. Although he hated to admit it, spending too much time with them often left him feeling like a mere supporting character in their grand stories.
Especially...
These people had a knack for causing trouble, a talent equal to their strength.
Doom Aura.
No matter where they went, trouble followed. It often started with their families, then spread to their friends, and eventually engulfed the factions they built. Without extraordinary luck and formidable vitality, few could accompany them to the end.
Rumor has it that in addition to being favored, such individuals are also cursed by the Heavens.
Close Range.
Chen Feng saw the woman's face clearly now. She was young, not even twenty. Her left hand clenched into a fist, while her right hand held a glowing long blade. Her delicate fingers grasped the blade as if holding a flower stem. Her eyes were sharp, her lips carried a trace of sorrow, and every movement was clean and decisive, as if killing was as natural as breathing.
'She's just a girl'
The girl had successfully broken into the nursing home, and with that, Chen Feng missed his best chance to kill her.
Chen Feng's strategy had to change—no longer focusing on the girl but on the Earth Dragon behind her.
The Earth Dragon possessed formidable defenses. In its current state of rage, collapsing the nursing home would cause it little harm.
But Chen Feng wouldn't be so lucky. If the building collapsed, he might not escape unscathed. Even if he did, he would still have to face the Earth Dragon.
Summoner versus Earth Dragon?
Chen Feng wasn't strong enough for that.
Given the circumstances, he had no choice but to resolve the battle outside the building.
"Blind its eyes!"
Chen Feng's cold voice reached the dark elf's ears, making her shudder. As his servant, she clearly felt her master's killing intent and rage.
The dark elf trembled, her eyes dazed, her teeth biting her lip. She could even feel the flow of warmth between her legs.
A sense of conquest.
Chen Feng's commands and reprimands stirred a strange pleasure within the dark elf, who had a masochistic disposition.
Chen Feng tilted his head, a flash of helplessness in his eyes. He raised his right hand and slapped the dark elf on her backside. "If you fail again, I'll throw you to the Dretch!"
Pain.
The dark elf opened her mouth, letting out an uncontrollable gasp. Her legs tensed, her eyes filled with a mix of resentment, sorrow, and a faint hint of lust.
Even the Dretch, she lusts over?...
If not for the urgency of the situation, Chen Feng might have seriously considered replacing this summon...
After all, her tastes were a bit too extreme.

Xu Hongzhuang gritted her teeth, running forward with all her remaining strength. The Earth Dragon's roar had dealt her a heavy blow, leaving her chest in excruciating pain. Every step felt like a knife slicing through her flesh.
The Earth Dragon was closing in. At this range, Xu Hongzhuang could feel the heat from its breath on the back of her neck.
She was just a step away from reaching the building, but what good would that do? Cement and stone wouldn't stop the Earth Dragon's charge. She would die eventually...
'If I'm going to die, why run?'
Her body stiffened, her face growing even paler. Despite her courage and skill with a blade, she was still a young girl. Fear gripped her heart, and she wanted nothing more than to end her own life, to escape this torment. But she had sworn on her family's corpses that she would spend her life hunting down every monster.
'I can't give up... Not until the very last step. Even if there's only a one percent chance—no! Even if there's only a one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth chance—if I can still breathe, I can't let these monsters look down on me...'
Xu Hongzhuang forced a determined smile, her face hardening with resolve. Despite her exhaustion, the belief in her heart kept her from giving up.
The Earth Dragon seemed to sense her weakening state. It huffed angrily, its grotesque face twisting with rage. Dragons were proud and arrogant creatures, and although the Earth Dragon had only a trace of dragon blood, it still had its principles.
It had been injured by a weak creature. The pain in its chest fueled its inexplicable fury. No matter what, it would kill this girl. No! It would break her bones, bit by bit, making sure she died in agony!
The Earth Dragon picked up speed...
It stretched its neck, jaws ready to snap Xu Hongzhuang in two. Just as it was about to strike, something unexpected happened...
Whoosh!
In the silent darkness, a cold wind suddenly swept through the air, fast as a streak of light, unstoppable in its path.
---
Xu Hongzhuang's eyes widened in shock. The sensation was unmistakable—it was the same as the arrow that had attacked her earlier. Who was trying so desperately to kill her?
Her arm was still numb from blocking the first arrow; there was no way she could fend off this one...
But then, Xu Hongzhuang heard a sudden, sickening thud, and her back grew warm.
Blood.
Xu Hongzhuang turned involuntarily, her pupils dilating.
The Earth Dragon's eye had been pierced!
A dark arrow was embedded in its left eye!
'Too fast!'
Everything had happened too fast!
So fast that even the Earth Dragon hadn't reacted in time. Its eye was burst, and the blood she felt on her back had sprayed from its socket.
'An arrow?!'
In that moment, Xu Hongzhuang forgot about the pain in her body. She had thought her skill with a blade was rare in a modern city like this, but now... someone had just shot through the Earth Dragon's eye with a bow!
This wasn't just any creature—it was a monster she had barely managed to wound in a sneak attack!
'Am I hallucinating?'
How could an arrow be so fast, so precise? And from such a distance, it had hit the Earth Dragon's eye dead on.
'Vengeance!'
Xu Hongzhuang had been taking refuge in a factory, which the Earth Dragon had destroyed. More than thirty people had been slaughtered. She had tangled with the beast all the way here, and it had almost killed her.
And now...
This seemingly invincible monster had met such a miserable end. It was immensely satisfying!
But then, a new doubt surfaced in Xu Hongzhuang's mind.
'Who is this expert archer...'
'Who on earth are they?'
