The wooden man leader raised his hand again, and was about to press down his wrist again. I knelt on the ground, feeling despair in my heart. Normally, when I was in desperate situations, the beautiful fox fairy would come out to rescue me. But now it was also imprisoned and could not protect itself. What else could I do?
I also gradually figured out that the leader of the wooden men was Wang Gang, the deputy envoy of the Milong Camp at that time. He was acting out a siege on the city and attacking the reinforcements, playing a long game to hook the big fish. He controlled Bai Lu first to lure out Yunwen and me, and then killed them all together. Catch one and lure out the accomplices, and catch them all in one fell swoop. This was really the standard method of the Jinyiwei.
But it is too late to think about these things now, and it is meaningless. After all, I will be pierced through the heart by thousands of stabbers and then thrown into the Spirit River as a top-grade product and sacrificed to the Antelope Witch. Everything is set in the script, so what is the point of thinking about other things?
I closed my eyes and waited for death, hoping that Yunwen could see the situation clearly, retreat when she saw difficulty, and not rush to save me so that I could save my life.
The only thing he had no regrets about was that before he died he had a sip of five hundred year old fine wine and a full meal, which was considered a good last meal before his death, so he had no regrets about going to the underworld.
"Beautiful fox fairy, I, Zhou Bo, have hurt you again. I feel really guilty. I will wait until the next life to give you two lives. Yunwen, goodbye. I hope you can be rescued and wait for the rescuers as soon as possible. You can continue your dream of the blue sky and...live happily with your fiancé for a long time and live a healthy life. I am going ahead of you, Zhou." I knelt down like the last words of a death row prisoner.
However, I had already finished mumbling, but I still didn't hear the sound of arrows coming. I was going to die if I wanted to, and I was going to live if I wanted to. What was the point of letting me suffer between life and death? Was this torture before death?
I slightly opened my eyes, and saw the wooden leader pressing his palms back and forth several times, making a strong clicking sound, but no arrows came in response. I felt something was wrong. Could it be that the arrows of the crossbowmen had been exhausted? But I clearly remembered that each of them had more than three or four arrows in their quivers.
With a whoosh!
I was startled and thought I was doomed, but the arrow flew past my ear and pierced the leader's head. The leader was affected by the force of the arrow and took several steps back, almost falling into the river behind him. How could such a big mistake be made?
But then I thought, no, it was Yunwen, because the object attacking from the side might very well be the rooftop where Yunwen was hiding. I suddenly remembered her expression when she looked at the bow and arrow carefully. Could it be that she really could do it?
I also thought about it again. The crossbowmen hiding on the roof were following the leader's gestures to move and shoot, but why didn't they respond from the second time? The only explanation is that they were all killed by Yunwen's bow and arrow.
You see, the coast is separated from my house by a street, at least fifty steps away, and the leader is on the river bank, which is the farthest distance from the roof, at least eighty steps away. This arrow hitting the head is basically as powerful as Lu Bu shooting the halberd at the gate or Yang Youji shooting the arrow through the air from a hundred steps away!
This is more than just knowing how to do it, she is proficient in it. It can be seen that she comes from a very good family and her father was an archaeologist. Maybe she has actually practiced archery and has come into contact with this kind of Ming-style small-tipped bow.
There was a sniper covering me, so I couldn't waste the opportunity, so I broke the arrow in my back. It would be easy to lose too much blood if I pulled it out, so I kept it for the time being, holding the Golden Que Sword, and rushed into the enemy camp. Those wooden men wanted to surround me, but their reaction speed was a little slower than mine. In addition, I had very good ears and basically knew the attack direction, so I moved around them. Although they were strong, they couldn't catch me.
There are all kinds of weapons, including knives, guns, sticks, swords, and blunt instruments, but unfortunately, if you are a little slow, your attack will have a flaw and the weapon will slip away. As the saying goes, the only way to defeat martial arts is to be fast, but if you can't be fast, no matter how much strength and moves you have, it will be useless.
I quickly rushed into the enemy camp. Their eyesight was not very good, so they could not catch me. Finally, I kicked away a wooden man and rushed to the river bank. Sure enough, I saw Bai Lu there. The leader ran towards me with Guan Gong's sword in his hand, and with one move, he stepped forward and chopped the sword, cutting off several strands of my hair.
Fortunately, I dodged in time. It didn't give me an inch and immediately came forward, killing me with its sword like a dragon. First, it used a set of postures similar to "Three sword strikes to scare Xu Chu to death", chopping and hacking in turns, like a dragon swimming in the sword, moving up and down flexibly. I could only dodge, while he swung the sword with great power, and it was a set of routines similar to "a shed of tigers flying on the spot", with the momentum of swinging the sword at the waist, the sword came up and down, and the force was incredible!
If I hadn't watched some videos of Spring and Autumn broadsword and practiced traditional martial arts as a child, I would have been hit by now. After all, there are so many variations in it. The sword technique is carefully planned, with many killing moves, and it is hard to defend against. It attacks while defending at the same time, and there are very few flaws. What I am good at is close combat, which can be used for grappling, and this basically touches my weak spot.
Helplessly, I could only hastily draw out the sword from the wooden man behind me, and use one hand to block the killing moves in front of me. I used only the basics I learned when I was a child. I didn't dare to use the Golden Que Sword in my right hand, for fear that my spiritual energy would be completely transformed by it and I would be exhausted again, and then I would definitely be hacked to death by the wooden man behind me.
At this moment, I saw the leader suddenly dragging the blade backwards. I felt something ominous. Dragging the blade? Was he going to take my head?
The so-called "white ape drags the knife upwards to chop", I think it means to attack upwards, so I can only raise my waist knife first, and then I hear the other party shouting: "Kill!"
Then he turned over, jumped, and chopped down suddenly. There was a loud thud, and my whole hand was numb at the base of the palm, but I managed to hold it. However, a big hole was left on the whole waist knife. I dropped the knife, and I couldn't hold it anymore. Blood was already flowing from the base of my left hand. The opponent raised the big knife and looked down at me. If he could poke me with one more move, my head would be separated for sure.
If I use the Golden Que Sword to block, it can only hinder it for a moment. Then my strength will be used up by the Golden Que Sword, and my Qi and blood will be exhausted. I will have no follow-up moves and will be dead. If I don't block it, I will also die.
Just as I was hesitating, the big knife arrived, and my hair was blown up by the strong wind. Suddenly, with a bang, the wooden leader was knocked away, and fell into the river with the knife with a splash.
I was extremely surprised. Where did this miracle come from?
Looking up, I saw a horse riding on the ground, and looking further up, I saw a pair of long beautiful legs. Above the beautiful legs, I could see that it was Yunwen riding a horse, with a bow and arrow hanging, looking ahead with a focused expression. At this moment, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight cast a halo. Her whole body was glowing white, and her serious, fair face showed stubbornness, as if a fairy from heaven had descended to earth, extraordinary.
"What are you doing to Zhou Bo?" Yunwen asked coldly.
Then there was a sharp sound, and the arrow flew past, and with a bang it once again pierced the wooden leader's head. Just as it was about to climb up the river bank, it fell down. Yunwen skillfully pulled out the arrow from behind, drew the bow and shot the arrow. There was another sharp sound, and this time with a bang it went straight through the opponent's heart. The leader tried hard to climb up the shore, but he became more and more weak, and finally when he lifted the last foot, he could no longer move at all.
He was mumbling something incomprehensible, perhaps some last words. After he finished speaking, it fell into the river with a thud, causing ripples. I remember the water was surging below, and it was soon washed away by the water in the ice hole.
After the leader died, the wooden men were at a loss. At this time, Yunwen pulled out the jade halberd from her clothes, held it high and shouted, "We are all brothers from the Milong Camp, right? I am the deputy envoy of the Milong Camp. The one just now was a fake. The jade halberd is in my hand. If you don't believe me, you can come and check it out! If you still want to be deceived, you can continue to stand on the side."
As soon as she shouted, the wooden man stopped being restless and there was complete silence for a while. This trick worked.
The identity of the Dragon Seeker was not working, and he was considered a traitor, so someone should have listened to the deputy envoy's name, right? After all, the one who fell into the water just now was the so-called deputy envoy, which meant that the team obeyed the deputy envoy, and shouldn't they recognize the deputy envoy's name?
While Yunwen was calming down, I hurried to untie Bailu. After that, I rushed to the tree by the river bank to untie the nine-tailed white fox. However, just as I was about to go, a green flame suddenly appeared behind me...
