Lin Feng had put everything into that shot, holding nothing back.

From more than a hundred paces away, his arrow pierced the Snake Demon's right leg, blasting it into a spray of flesh and blood.

The power of Lin Feng's shot was truly terrifying!

Even a Martial Artist in the Houtian Realm would be wounded if caught off guard!

What's more, the Snake Demon's legs were nowhere near as well-defended as its serpentine body.

One arrow had crippled its right leg.

In the darkness, the Snake Demon let out an enraged hiss.

In an instant, its scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Feng, who was shooting from a tree.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng nocked another arrow.

He kept firing. He couldn't give the Snake Demon a moment to catch its breath.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One after another, arrows whistled through the night.

Lin Feng fired three arrows in a row, all within a single second.

His target was the Snake Demon's other leg.

The three arrows flew so fast that the Snake Demon couldn't react in time.

Its left leg was blasted apart as well.

The Snake Demon had just managed to rise, ready to take revenge on Lin Feng, when it collapsed again with a furious, unwilling hiss.

Its shriek rang shrilly through the night. Lin Feng felt as if his eardrums were about to burst.

But his movements didn't falter in the slightest.

He kept nocking and firing.

After blasting apart the Snake Demon's legs, Lin Feng aimed for its eyes.

Hu Biao hadn't managed to hack through the Snake Demon's neck with a single strike, which meant its defenses were formidable.

But its eyes might be another matter!

Lin Feng quickly loosed arrows at the Snake Demon's eyes, while a story his father had told him as a child came to mind: a tale of hunting demons.

Low-level demons commonly had a weakness around the eyes.

Their eyes were poorly defended.

After Lin Feng blasted apart its legs, the Snake Demon's scarlet eyes turned toward him, filled with hatred.

That was exactly what Lin Feng had been counting on.

Arrows flew, striking the Snake Demon's scarlet eyes with unerring precision.

Thwip! Thwip!

Two arrows struck the Snake Demon directly in its eyes.

"It worked!"

Lin Feng was overjoyed!

In an instant, his taut nerves relaxed a little.

Infallible Shot truly lived up to its name!

An ordinary archer could never have hit the mark under these conditions.

After all, it was pitch-dark, with almost no visibility!

Lin Feng was more than a hundred paces away. The Snake Demon's eyes looked no bigger than grains of rice from there.

Fortunately, he had Infallible Shot.

Even from more than a hundred paces away, he could still hit them.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The Snake Demon kept hissing at the sky in the darkness, its cries tinged with pain.

Lin Feng leaped down from the tree and rushed toward it.

The Snake Demon had almost completely lost the ability to move.

So Lin Feng could get a little closer before shooting.

The closer he was, the more powerful his arrows would be!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

There were fewer and fewer arrows left in his quiver. Lin Feng kept firing at the Snake Demon's eyes.

His aim was now perfect. Every arrow he fired next struck the Snake Demon's eyes.

At last.

Blood streamed from the Snake Demon's eyes, staining its entire body scarlet.

Its eye sockets had been stretched wide by the arrows, each one nearly the size of a fist.

Lin Feng kept his eyes on the Snake Demon and fired until he'd loosed the last arrow in his quiver.

Only then did Lin Feng come back to himself.

He was now just twenty paces from the Snake Demon.

But the Snake Demon lay motionless on the ground, without a trace of life.

There was no doubt about it: it was dead as dead could be!

"If you like this book, add it to your bookshelf so you can find it again next time!"

"Phew. Phew."

Seeing that the Snake Demon wasn't moving, Lin Feng was panting too.

Was the Second-Order Demon dead?

It had to be dead, right? Looking closely, he saw that each of its eye sockets was packed with more than twenty arrows.

Its entire head had been pierced through.

If it could still survive that, it would defy all reason!

Lin Feng's heart pounded wildly.

He'd killed a Second-Order Demon!

Even someone of Squad Leader rank would be hard-pressed to fight back against this Snake Demon.

And he—a mere Constable who'd joined the Demon Suppression Division only three days ago—had done it!

"Right! I killed a demon. I wonder how much my proficiency has increased?"

At the thought, Lin Feng's mind stirred, and the Status Panel appeared before him.

Name: Lin Feng Cultivation: Body Tempering Fourth Level Skills: Archery lv3 (120/10000) Talents: Infallible Shot, Swift Shadow Soul Chaser, Toxin

"Did it really go up by 200 proficiency?!"

"And my cultivation went up a level too. I'm at Body Tempering Fourth Level now!"

Seeing his Archery level rise from lv2 to lv3 filled Lin Feng with delight!

Before setting out, his Archery was only lv2, still a long way from lv3.

Lin Feng had been at the Demon Suppression Division for just three days. He'd used up all two hundred arrows he'd shot during the first two days.

His proficiency had been a little over five hundred then.

On the third day, since they were hunting demons, Lin Feng couldn't just shoot arrows at will to gain proficiency.

He had to save them for the demons!

After arriving at the village, he'd kept shooting at the Snake Demon, naturally gaining quite a bit of proficiency.

Subtracting the proficiency gained from those shots, Lin Feng calculated that killing the Second-Order Demon had earned him 200 proficiency!

That was an astonishing amount!

But now that his Archery had leveled up, the proficiency required was even more outrageous: a full ten thousand.

Lin Feng paused and looked at the Talents section.

Two new talents had appeared.

Swift Shadow Soul Chaser was probably a talent he'd gained when his Archery leveled up.

But why had Toxin appeared too?

He focused his thoughts and checked its description.

Toxin: Any attack can inflict additional damage with venom.

"So it's a skill that adds extra damage?!"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered!

He'd probably gained this talent because he'd killed the Snake Demon.

Lin Feng then checked Swift Shadow Soul Chaser.

Swift Shadow Soul Chaser: You can still shoot arrows while moving.

Lin Feng's heart jolted!

He'd gotten this talent at just the right time.

Before, even with Infallible Shot, he still had to stop and aim carefully before firing.

But now, with Swift Shadow Soul Chaser, he wouldn't need to worry about that at all.

Even while moving at high speed, he could still nock an arrow, draw his bow, and hit his target!

He'd reaped a rich harvest this time. Not only had he gained two talents, his cultivation had also improved!

Cough, cough!

A burst of coughing came from behind him.

Lin Feng came back to himself.

Right, his teammates were probably still alive. He needed to check on them.

He turned and looked at Hu Biao, who was lying on the ground.

The coughing had come from Hu Biao.

Hu Biao still wore an expression of utter shock.

The Second-Order Demon that had nearly killed him had been shot dead by Lin Feng?!

Hu Biao had watched the whole thing unfold. He knew just how dangerous the situation had been.

At first, Hu Biao had thought that even he, at Body Tempering Seventh Level, was no match for the Snake Demon.

Lin Feng was an archer and could attack from a distance.

But with his level of skill, any arrow he fired would probably bounce right off the Snake Demon's hide.

But when Lin Feng fired his first arrow and blasted apart the Snake Demon's left leg, Hu Biao was dumbstruck.

"If you like this book, add it to your bookshelf so you can find it again next time!"
