In ancient times, archers were equivalent to snipers in modern society!
If Hu Zi is willing to come tonight, he will undoubtedly bring a large group of his men. He won't be short of guns either. Therefore, if we want to teach Hu Zi a lesson he won't forget, the best way is... to kill him!
Kill all the men the bearded man brought! Slaughter them until they tremble in fear! Annihilate their entire army!
Even the bearded man himself was killed!
Gao Jianfei had figured it out: to deal with a ruthless guy like Hu Zi, there was no way to be polite to him! Only killing was the way to go!
The rule of law is utterly ineffective in restraining a morbidly cruel and unscrupulous man like Hu Zi!
So, to kill these people, to terrify them, Gao Jianfei had to come up with a plan.
Although Gao Jianfei was a skilled fighter and adept at using concealed weapons, he lacked the ability to directly confront Hu Zi's group. Last night, he struggled even against just five armed bodyguards; tonight, he would face even greater numbers!
So, the best way to deal with this group is... find a good location and then use sniping to eliminate them!
This small hill is undoubtedly a good sniping location. As for sniping methods, Gao Jianfei has also made his own choice... to learn Hua Rong's superb archery skills!
The legendary archery skill of hitting the bullseye from a hundred paces away!
Upon hearing that Gao Jianfei wanted to learn martial arts, Hua Rong naturally did not refuse in the slightest. He nodded directly and said, "If Xiao Gao wants to learn, I, Hua Rong, will naturally teach him everything I know!" After saying that, Hua Rong gently stroked the iron bow leaning against the chair.
"Yes. Thank you, General Hua. However, please invite Master Tang over for a chat first." Gao Jianfei smiled gratefully at Hua Rong, then went directly to call Tang Long over.
Tang Long continued tirelessly crafting hidden weapons and throwing knives for Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei smiled and led Tang Long to Hua Rong's room. "Master Tang, there's no need to forge steel darts and iron spikes for today. It's like this, I urgently need to use a bow and arrow today, so I need Master Tang to hurry up and forge an iron bow and 100 arrows for me!"
Upon entering Hua Rong's room, Gao Jianfei retrieved Hua Rong's iron bow and handed it to Tang Long. "Master Tang, have one made for me, just like the one General Hua used. As for the feathered arrows..." Gao Jianfei knew that ancient archers mostly used feathered arrows, which required materials including feathers from golden eagles or eagles. However, Gao Jianfei couldn't find these materials for the time being, so he said, "Master Tang, just forge the arrows directly from steel, without using feathers."
"Alright!" Tang Long nodded, indicating that there was no problem. "Back then, the weapons used by the Liangshan brothers, including Brother Hua Rong's iron bow and arrows, were all forged by my own hands. Therefore, Xiao Gao, I can forge an iron bow and 100 arrows for you within a few hours!"
Regarding the bowstring needed to forge the iron bow, it was made from the sinew of an animal. Gao Jianfei had no choice but to spend 200 exorcism points to exchange for a sinew from Hua Rong to make the bowstring.
Currently, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points are completely depleted. Even the exorcism points needed to piece together the awl and the genius's soul can only be slowly replenished.
After finishing all this, Gao Jianfei said to the intelligent program, "I need to learn Hua Rong's divine archery skills right now!"
The intelligent program responded to Gao Jianfei's request immediately... "Dear user, as you wish! Super Ghost Instrument, learning space activated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the environment in Hua Rong's room changed drastically.
Gao Jianfei and Hua Rong arrived at the summit of a mountain. Yellow sand stretched endlessly, and wild geese flew high.
Hua Rong, dressed in general's armor, looked incredibly dashing. He held a bow in his hand, and several quivers of arrows lay flat at his feet.
A few dozen meters ahead of where Gao Jianfei and Hua Rong were standing, there was a small green forest. Gao Jianfei strained his eyes and saw targets hanging from a row of trees on the outer edge of the forest. Archery targets.
Moreover, wild deer or wolves would occasionally dart out of the small forest, run and roam outside for a while, then hide back into the forest, only to emerge again shortly afterward.
Hua Rong stroked the iron bow in his hand, like a gentle husband caressing the soft skin of his wife. His gaze was tender as he stared at the bow, and he said softly to Gao Jianfei, "Xiao Gao, let's begin!"
"Okay!" Gao Jianfei nodded.
Suddenly, Hua Rong swiftly took out a feathered sword from the quiver at his feet, nocked an arrow, stepped forward with his right leg, and straightened his left leg into a bow stance.
Draw the bow, nock the arrow, pull back the string... "Whoosh!"
"boom!"
A target on a tree on the outskirts of a small forest a few dozen meters away was pierced through by an arrow! The arrow hit the bullseye!
"Excellent archery skills!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed in admiration.

Chapter 133 The Fierce Battle is Coming!
shoot with great precision!
Today, Gao Jianfei finally witnessed what it means to shoot an arrow through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away!
In the past, when watching the Olympics on TV, the world champions in archery competitions had pretty good accuracy. However, their archery skills were simply incomparable to Hua Rong's arrow!
Hua Rong's archery skills were superb in terms of momentum, power, and speed! Compared to Olympic archery champions, what he possessed was an extra kind of killing intent! Yes, killing intent! Indeed, back in the day, Hua Rong of Liangshan Marsh, with his bow and arrow, made countless contributions! Shooting down enemy generals and leaders amidst thousands of troops was as easy as taking candy from a bag! How awe-inspiring that was!
So much so that when Hua Rong shot an arrow, Gao Jianfei was somewhat stunned!
One more thing must be said... the power of a bow and arrow is indeed greater than that of a hidden weapon!
"Xiao Gao, come here!" Hua Rong handed the iron bow to Gao Jianfei, and also handed him a feathered arrow.
Gao Jianfei didn't refuse, picked up the bow and arrow, and imitated Hua Rong, drawing the bow and nocking the arrow. Hua Rong then began to patiently teach Gao Jianfei.
At this moment, the learning function of the Super Ghost Instrument showed its power. Every detail of archery—how to control the force, how to aim, how to maintain the mindset while shooting—was explained to Gao Jianfei by Hua Rong only once, and Gao Jianfei had it all memorized and mastered it completely. Even the physical strength that Hua Rong used when shooting arrows was something Gao Jianfei gradually acquired during the learning process.
Powerful super ghost instrument learning function! Here, if you can imagine it, you can do it!
In fact, from where Gao Jianfei and Hua Rong were, the distance to that small forest was only about 60 to 80 meters, less than 100 meters. Hua Rong told Gao Jianfei that this was a large distance at which he could control his accuracy! If the distance were any greater, he would not be able to hit every single shot.
In other words, Hua Rong's maximum range is about 80 meters.
In the first round, Gao Jianfei practiced shooting at static targets, which was a relatively simple learning process. Gao Jianfei had already acquired Hua Rong's eyesight, so when shooting, the target, dozens of meters away, appeared magnified in his field of vision. The small bullseye became about the size of a teacup. Moreover, having practiced throwing techniques with concealed weapons, Gao Jianfei already possessed a certain level of skill in aiming. Therefore, in terms of accuracy, Gao Jianfei only needed to adapt for a few arrows before completely mastering the technique.
The second round involved shooting wild deer and wolves that emerged from the forest. This was dynamic shooting. Shooting live prey is more difficult than shooting at a target. Under Hua Rong's patient guidance, Gao Jianfei, after wasting dozens of arrows, finally mastered dynamic shooting.
The third round was about shooting wild geese in the sky. Hua Rong also passed on his lifelong skill... killing two birds with one stone, to Gao Jianfei.
In about four hours, Gao Jianfei essentially inherited Hua Rong's divine archery skills! In terms of archery technique, he ultimately reached the same level as Hua Rong!
Gao Jianfei drew his bow and nocked an arrow, sometimes shooting towards the forest, sometimes shooting into the sky.
One by one, geese were shot through the neck and fell to the ground; one by one, wild deer and wolves were shot to death through the throat.
"call out!"
Gao Jianfei shot an arrow into the sky, the tip piercing the throat of a wild goose. The arrow's momentum did not diminish, and it quickly pierced the throat of another wild goose above it... killing two birds with one stone!
"Heh, thank you so much, General Hua, for teaching me today!" Gao Jianfei smiled as he returned the iron bow to Hua Rong, feeling even more confident about his plans for the evening!
After leaving Hua Rong's room, Gao Jianfei didn't leave Ghost Den. He had no intention of leaving Ghost Den before the operation that night! He figured staying there was perfectly safe, and he didn't need to worry about being discovered!
He checked his phone; it was 2:30 PM. Gao Jianfei felt a little hungry.
Fortunately, he had brought a large amount of food into the ghost den last time. So, Gao Jianfei got some cooked beef, ate his fill with red wine.
I wanted to take a nap this afternoon to recharge my energy. However, sleeping in this ghostly place was a first for Gao Jianfei!
After thinking it over, Gao Jianfei decided to make do with Feng Heng's room for a while.
Of course, don't misunderstand, Gao Jianfei wasn't exactly lustful enough to want a romantic relationship with Huang Yaoshi's wife, Feng Heng. After all, there's a difference between humans and ghosts, even though she was a very beautiful female ghost. Besides, in a level 2 ghost's lair, they looked exactly the same as living people, without any difference. But Gao Jianfei really hadn't considered doing anything like that with the female ghost.
The main reason was that the female ghost's room looked cleaner and more comfortable than the male ghosts'. Psychologically, this made Gao Jianfei feel less uneasy.
Enter Feng Heng's room.
She was reading a book.
She was quiet, elegant, beautiful, and dignified. Gao Jianfei tactfully asked if he could sleep in her room for a while.
Feng Heng was shocked, her face turning red with embarrassment. "Xiao...Xiao Gao, you..."
Gao Jianfei hurriedly explained that he was not sleeping in Feng Heng's bed, but rather just finding a place in the room to rest.
After saying that, Gao Jianfei joked, "I'm definitely going to take your husband Huang Yaoshi into my ghost den in the future. If I'm disrespectful to you today, wouldn't Huang Yaoshi just kill me in the future?"
In Gao Jianfei's room, he found a patch of green grass under a cluster of peach blossoms. It felt very soft, so he lay down fully clothed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Upon hearing that Gao Jianfei would one day take her husband into his den of ghosts, Feng Heng's eyes immediately became deep and thoughtful, and she muttered to herself, saying something incoherently.
Flower market.
The hotel suite that Hu Zi booked.
At this moment, Hu Zi's expression was very strange. The bodyguards standing in the suite, as well as some folk martial artists, all had mournful faces, lowered their heads, and looked very dejected.
Meanwhile, Chen Chuan returned to Hu Zi's apartment. He looked exhausted and his face was pale.
“Boss, that young man wants you to meet him tonight… tonight. The location is… the old hotel area where we cornered him yesterday,” Chen Chuan stammered. “Also, boss, I’ve brought this information back for you. Besides, my daughter will no longer acknowledge me. Boss, could you give me some money so I can retire to my hometown? I don’t ask for much, boss… just give me whatever you can…”
The muscles at the corner of Hu Zi's mouth twitched slightly, and then he asked, "You mean, Gao Jianfei actually asked me to meet him?"
“Yes…yes,” Chen Chuan said, trembling. “He seemed to say that he wanted to settle things with the boss.”
"Oh? Settlement? Good, very good, I like settlements!" Bearded man laughed suddenly. He shouted at his men in the suite, "See that? What an arrogant guy! He thinks he's invincible just because he can fight and throw knives! Ha, what an idiot! He wants to settle things with me? Fine! I'll settle things with him this once... I was just worried he wouldn't show up, and he actually delivered himself right to my door!"
The bodyguards and boxers dared not utter a word. They had been terrified by Gao Jianfei's strength the previous night! Now, the thought of facing him again filled them with genuine fear!
Who would complain about having too long a life?
"Tsk, you bunch of good-for-nothings!" the bearded man sneered. "I give you money and support you... and in the end, you're completely useless!"
At this moment, Chen Chuan started rambling on again, "Boss, give me...give me some retirement money..."
"K! K! K! I'll give it to you, right away!" The bearded man stood up, his eyes darting around the living room searching for something. After a minute, he slapped his forehead and said to a bodyguard, "By the way, where's that craft item I bought last time?"
"Brother Beard, it's in the study inside. Let me get it for you," the bodyguard said solicitously.
"Never mind, I'll go get it myself." Hu Zi walked directly into the study. He turned back and said gently to Chen Chuan, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the money for you."
Chen Chuan was moved to tears, "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss."
Hu Zi went straight into the study.
About a minute later, suddenly, Hu Zi burst out of the study, holding a large iron hammer in both hands!
He charged straight at Chen Chuan!
"Huh?!" Chen Chuan screamed instinctively and stood up from the sofa!
"Bang!" Hu Zi rushed up to Chen Chuan and smashed a hammer hard on Chen Chuan's head!
"Crack!" The sound of a skull shattering erupted!
Chen Chuan didn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The bearded man relentlessly hammered Chen Chuan's head, chest, and abdomen with each blow...
Red, like bloodstains from tomato sauce, splattered everywhere, and white, resembling tofu pudding...
"Ugh..." Inside the suite, the bearded bodyguards and the boxers couldn't bear the bloody and violent scene before them and bent over to vomit.
Beard pounded the hammer for over forty times before running out of strength. He stopped the violence, panting heavily. "This kind of father is a beast! I, Beard, have done justice for heaven this time. That felt great!" Then, he beckoned to a bodyguard and said, "Come on, take this craft back to my study and put it away properly. Tsk, a beautiful and practical hammer, I love it!"
The bodyguard mustered his courage and walked over, trembling as he took the hammer from the bearded man's hand. The bearded man pulled the bodyguard over, pulled up the bodyguard's shirt, and wiped his blood-stained hands, then wiped the red and white grime from his face.
After tidying up the body, he said to the other bodyguards, "You guys dispose of this body."
