The sharp and powerful arrow did not stop after piercing through Mahmud's arm, continuing on with great momentum until it finally embedded itself in the trunk of a huge tree far away. More than half of the arrow was buried in the tree trunk, which was large enough for a man to hug by linking his arms together, showing only the tail of the arrow which was still quivering slightly.
"AH! My arm!"
Mahmud fell heavily onto his back from the impact as he grabbed his arm and screamed in pain.
A large and ugly hole had appeared from his left shoulder all the way through to his arm. His entire left side was slumped to the side, and his left arm dangled uselessly by his side. All the flesh and muscles on that arm had been completely torn in two!
Copious amounts of blood gushed out of the wound, bringing a deep chill into Mahmud's heart as he regained his senses. If he hadn't reacted fast enough, that arrow would have directly pierced through his heart from the back!
"God d*mmit! I'm not going die here! How can I possibly just die like this?! I must return to my country! Yes! I need to return!"
Mahmud had already completely regretted his actions. He should never have sneaked into China in the first place! His life in Southeast Asia was comfortable and easy. Even if he killed a few people every now and then, nobody would do anything to him!
Dragging his body despite the pain and forcing himself to his feet, Mahmud ruthlessly jabbed at a spot on his mangled arm a couple of times.
Immediately, the rate at which the blood escaped his body lessened significantly. However, Mahmud had still lost a great amount of blood while performing that action.
Due to the massive loss of blood, his body was rather stiff as he ran into the jungle.
"Che, what a pity. Just a bit more and I'd have got him."
500 meters away, Liu Jie put down his two meter tall bow with a sigh.
It was unclear what material this longbow was made of. At a glance, it appeared to be fashioned from the antlers of some animal, but it was extremely durable. Even with Liu Jie's immense strength, he was only able to pull the bowstring to a third of its maximum draw!
"As expected of an expert at the Peak of Dark Jing, his intuition towards danger is truly sensitive! He seemed to be distracted for just a split second just now, but he still managed to avoid a fatal injury."
Liu Jie slung the longbow over his shoulders and chased in the direction of his prey.
As time passed, the distance between the two began to lessen rapidly. In addition to being heavily injured, Mahmud still needed to keep his guard up against the terrifying arrows. Under such circumstances, he was unable to increase his speed at all.
'Haha! The Heavens will always leave a path for the desperate!'
Even an expert like Mahmud was beginning to lose hope as he watched Liu Jie's group which was only 100 meters away closing in on him. But as luck would have it, there were actually other people in front of him!
In that moment, Mahmud remembered a famous saying in China. Ignoring his injuries, he forcefully increased his speed by an entire realm!
"Xiao Wu, how far away are we from that place?"
Liu Jie turned to a youngster of around 20 years old beside him.
"We've almost reached it. It's no more than 400 meters away!"
Xiao Wu lifted his arm and looked at the device on his wrist as he replied excitedly.
In order to not let Mahmud have a chance to escape, Liu Jie and the rest had already laid out a detailed plan to chase him towards a certain spot and force him into a deadly corner!
"Not good! Captain, there are some civilians ahead!"
After rounding a treacherous precipice, Liu Qing who was at the front saw the situation ahead.
"What? Godd*mit! Why are there random people in such a remote place?! Hurry up and stop him!" Nantian hollered in panic.
"We must stop him! Otherwise, we'll be returning from this wild goose hunt empty-handed!"
Liu Jie did not pay attention to Nantian's tone. Instead, he immediately pulled the longbow on his back to his front and readied himself.
Then, he grabbed an over 1-meter-long titanium allow arrow from his quiver and inserted it onto the bowstring.
Placing his left leg flat against the ground and his right leg on the bow, Liu Jie grabbed the bowstring with both his hands and pulled!
His entire body's muscles bulged fiercely and numerous blue veins appeared on his neck and arms!
The combination of all four limbs brought about unparalleled strength!
"Ka, ka!"
Together with the strange creaking sounds, the longbow slowly opened!
At this moment, Mahmud had already arrived within 20 meters of Bei Feng's group. With only a breath or two of time, he would be amongst the group!
