487: Chapter 487: The Plan to Silence 487: Chapter 487: The Plan to Silence The arrow tore through the void, shooting rapidly toward Abbot Wu Jiu!
Abbot Wu Jiu had no time to react!
The speed of the arrow was too fast!
“Clang!” Just as the arrow was about to pierce through Abbot Wu Jiu’s brow at that critical moment, the arrow suddenly halted mid-air.
Because Lin Shuang raised his hand and fiercely caught the arrow!
The sharp arrowhead…
was just a millimeter away from Abbot Wu Jiu’s temple.
But it had been caught by Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang’s right hand tightly gripped the arrow, but his palm was also bleeding.
The power of the arrow was so terrifying that even Lin Shuang had barely managed to stop it.
“Crack!” With a fierce effort from his right hand, Lin Shuang shattered the long arrow.
“Whoosh…!!” Immediately following, a second arrow burst forth!
Its target was also Abbot Wu Jiu!
Was the enemy trying to silence them by assassination?!
“Clang!” Lin Shuang simply raised his right hand, the Ghost Crying Blade struck, and he sliced the second arrow down.
“Who is shooting?!” Lin Shuang instantly moved to the window, pushed it open, and scanned the outside!
“Whoosh…!” A third arrow was shot!
This time Lin Shuang locked onto the archer’s position!
Lin Shuang fiercely shot out a coin!
“Pfft!” Hundreds of meters away, on a locust tree outside Hanshan Temple, an archer’s neck was pierced through by the coin!
The archer collapsed to the ground!
And the third incoming arrow was once again stopped by Lin Shuang.
Meanwhile, outside the quiet Hanshan Temple, in the forest beyond the mountain…
suddenly emerged silhouettes of assassins clad in night-clothes!
A group of assassins emerged from the woods, hundreds of them, surrounding the entire Hanshan Temple!
Without a word, the assassins leaped into the air, vaulted over the several-meter-high temple walls, broke into Hanshan Temple, and commenced a massacre!
All these assassins were top martial arts experts!
Wielding long swords, they formed a terrifying killing formation.
Wherever they went, the martial monks of Hanshan Temple were no match…
Screams were incessant as monks were continuously slashed down!
The assassins were extremely ruthless, their blades spared no one!
They were intent on annihilating the whole temple!
Seeing the slaughter outside the meditation room, Lin Shuang’s pupils shrank, “Abbot Wu Jiu, stay inside the meditation room and don’t come out!”
No sooner had Lin Shuang spoken than his figure flashed explosively, and he dashed outside the meditation room!
“Pfft, pfft, pfft!” Lin Shuang’s figure moved instantly, rushing into the sea of assassins, with the Ghost Crying Dagger unleashing havoc upon them!
The assassins were extremely powerful, but they were no match for Lin Shuang.
Many assassins had already been struck by the Ghost Crying Dagger, their bodies sliced open, blood splattering across the monastery.
Inside Hanshan Temple, a downpour poured from the sky, the curtain of rain enshrouding the entire temple.
Amidst the rain, Lin Shuang’s figure flashed explosively, attacking continuously in the sea of assassins, single-handedly striking down countless assailants!
Many assassins tried to break into the meditation room to kill Abbot Wu Jiu!
But they were all intercepted by Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang stood alone outside the door of the meditation room, blocking the waves of attackers!
After crossing swords with these assassins, Lin Shuang’s gaze became even more solemn.
The strength of these assassins was extremely terrifying; each one was a top martial arts master!
After over ten minutes, the more than two hundred assassins who had broken into the temple had all been killed.
More than two hundred bodies fell to the ground, the rainwater mixing with the blood…
continuously washing over the bluestone floors of Hanshan Temple.
Lin Shuang stood in the rain, retracting his dagger.
And at this moment, he had also suffered several wounds.
The strength of these assassins was such that they had managed to wound Lin Shuang.
This was the first time that Lin Shuang had been injured since returning to Yanxia.
Although the injuries weren’t severe, he was still wounded.
Glancing at the bodies of the assassins on the ground, Lin Shuang’s gaze was heavy.
The strength of these assassins was horrifying and beyond Lin Shuang’s imagination.
What shocked Lin Shuang even more was why these assassins had appeared outside Hanshan Temple?
Why did they want to kill the abbot?
What was their motive?
Was it to silence him and hide the secret of my identity?
Lin Shuang speculated uncertainly.
At this moment, Lin Shuang felt his wounds stinging fiercely.
His complexion changed; the assassins’ blades had been smeared with deadly poison!
Lin Shuang now had several wounds on his body, and the poison had begun to seep into his bloodstream.
Lin Shuang immediately sealed his acupoints to stop the poison from spreading.
“Young Master Lin, you are injured, and the poison is seeping in.
If you don’t receive treatment soon…
I fear the poison will strike at your heart,” Abbot Wu Jiu suddenly spoke from within the meditation room at that moment.
“Come inside.
I have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture; I can help you detoxify,” Abbot Wu Jiu said slowly.
Lin Shuang, enduring the intense pain of his wounds, turned and walked into the meditation room.
Abbot Wu Jiu brought over acupuncture needles and began to detoxify Lin Shuang.
One by one, the silver needles entered Lin Shuang’s body as Abbot Wu Jiu used traditional Chinese medicine to counteract the poison.
“Abbot Wu Jiu, why do they want to kill you?
Is it to silence you and hide the secret of my lineage?” Lin Shuang sat cross-legged, staring at Abbot Wu Jiu.
Abbot Wu Jiu sighed and slowly nodded, “Indeed, it must be so…
Alas, I did not expect that…
after so many years, they still have not given up.”
“Who was the person that brought me back to Hanshan Temple?” Lin Shuang asked coldly.
“It was I,” Abbot Wu Jiu said slowly with a sigh, “Back then, it was I who brought you back to Hanshan Temple…”
Lin Shuang’s pupils contracted!
Was it indeed Abbot Wu Jiu?
“Then who am I…
Who are my parents?
Where are they now?
Please tell me, Abbot Wu Jiu!!”
