Chapter 122: Innate Arrow Formation and Wind God Leg Technique!
The thirty-ninth day of the Immortal Coffin Calendar.
Zhou Yi stood at the foot of Mount Langya, hearing the sound of a stream flowing in the stream and seeing the withered grass on the path gradually reviving. It was already winter and spring.
He nodded to the people at the foot of the mountain and returned to Qingliu together.
On the way, we talked about the recent situation in Luzhou, Qingliu, Liuhe and other places.
Zhou Yi listened more and spoke less, while comprehending the world situation and reviewing his recent gains.
During this period of seclusion, he has already grasped the inspiration brought by Zuo Youxian.
Although the purpose of Ziwu Gang's "returning and rising, using the false to obtain the true" has flaws, the movement of Gang Qi, the divine sword technique, and the movement of Qi through the Ren and Du meridians contain many clever tricks.
The Kanli sword energy is different from the others, one is straight and the other is biased, but both are derived from the Louguan Dao.
Witnessing Zuo Youxian draw his sword in person further confirmed this.
It is equivalent to having the essence of the magic skills that Song Yinzi and Zuo Youxian have accumulated over the years.
The two kinds of罡法 interacted with each other internally and externally. He was originally in the exploratory stage, but now he could clearly see a way for the sword罡 to merge.
When I was happy, the spring mountain mist was gradually warming up and the green curtains on the road were beginning to roll up.
So I can enjoy the scenery and let my mind wander, and the pleasure becomes even greater.
After entering the camp, the military guards greeted him along the way. Xu Xingzhi heard the noise outside and walked out a few hundred steps to invite Zhou Yi into the tent.
Under the leadership of Fan Wenchu, the gates of Luzhou were wide open.
After Li Jing's army occupied the city, they headed straight to the southwest, catching Tongan County off guard.
At this time in Jiangbei, Lujiang and Tongan connected to Chuzhou were the rear, and Liuhe and Yongfu guarded by Du Fuwei were the front line, confronting the Sui army.
With Lai Zheng and Yuchi Sheng withdrawing their troops, there was no fighting between the two sides for the time being.
Li Jing is now stationed in Tongan County in the south, where the situation is complicated.
The rebel forces led by Xiao Xing, Lin Shihong, Shen Faxing and others were all active nearby.
At the same time, many forces such as the Poyang Gang, the Dajiang Society, and the Iron Cavalry Society got involved.
Zhou Yi felt very relieved as he watched Xu Xingzhi continuously reporting.
If I had to do all these things by myself, I would probably have no time left for practicing.
There is a huge war going on outside, and there are also troubles inside the city.
Even if capable personnel are arranged to rebuild the office, the report will be submitted to the general manager.
Seeing Zhou Yi's concerned look, Xu Xingzhi stroked his beard and smiled:
"My lord, rest assured. I have a lot of internal strength, so I'm far from exhausted. You should focus on your training and conquer the world as soon as possible. Only then can we raise our flag higher."
“I’m afraid it won’t be possible in the short term.”
Zhou Yi smiled and then calmed down: "Also, I'm planning to go back to Nanyang."
After hearing this, Xu Xingzhi thought for a moment:
"Our base between Jiang and Huai is now solid. If Jiangdu remains unchanged, we won't be able to break in for the time being. Even if we take over two counties, it will take some time to stabilize the situation. There will be no hindrance to your return to Nanyang."
But there are two things you need to know.”
"Which two?"
"Firstly, Nanyang's structure is different from Jianghuai's. Without military formations or spears, it's dominated by the forces of the martial arts world. Many major martial arts clans have gathered around the Champion Coffin Palace. This place is a whirlpool of the martial arts world, unpredictable and dangerous.
During the time when the lord was in seclusion, many martial arts masters were trapped, and many of them were even cunning bandits from outside the Great Wall."
Xu Xingzhi gestured with his hands, his face solemn:
"With your lordship's skill, entering and leaving Nanyang will naturally be no problem, but for now, it is safer to let them fight among themselves."
Zhou Yi knew what he was worried about: "Don't worry, I am confident and will not take risks easily."
"What else?"
Xu Xingzhi smiled. There were many evil spirits in Nanyang, but a reminder was enough, no need to say more.
"The second matter is related to the Sui Palace. Yang Guang is preparing to go south."
"So soon?"
"Exactly."
The Way of Approaching the Void:
"I heard that the horse gangs in the northern border are making a lot of moves. Many major northern forces have joined forces with Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou to cause unrest in the north. The eight Mohe tribes and the Khitan are also threatening Yan and Zhao.
Since the siege of Yanmen, the Sui court has lost its dignity, and the Turks may march south at any time."
"Yang Guang was surrounded by forces such as Dou Jiande, Zhai Rang, Li Mi, and Xue Ju. The northern region was in chaos, and the Sui army was unable to quell it."
"Fearing a recurrence of the Siege of Yanmen, Yang Guang naturally wanted to retreat to Jiangdu."
Speaking of the northern horse caravans, Zhou Yi thought of the Great Ming Sect.
"Is there any more accurate information?"
Xu Xingzhi nodded: "One is that Yu Wenhuaji hurried north. He is the chief of the imperial guards, so he must have received the news."
"The second one is from the Eastern Capital. General Gongsun Shangzhe, the Tiger Fang General, is heading south."
"This group is ahead of the Xiaoguo Army and is heading right for us."
Zhou Yi saw that he looked confident and asked, "But what do you want me to do?"
Xu Xing's suggestion:
"There is another node at the lowest reaches of the Huai River, and that is Yancheng."
"Before returning to Nanyang, my lord, you can go to Yancheng County to enjoy the spring seascape."
…
Yancheng County, Sheyang City.
At the residence of Wei Che, the leader of Yancheng.
The chief steward had just sent away a few unwelcome guests when he received a letter via carrier pigeon from his subordinates.
He hurried back and took the letter in the small bamboo tube to the lobby.
Inside there was a man of medium build and ordinary appearance. He had a square face and was less than forty years old.
It was none other than Wei Che, the great leader of Yancheng County.
There was a clerk sitting on each of the guest seats on his left and right, both in military uniform.
Looking at the words they wrote, there was also a sense of ferocity.
Some time ago, Meng Rang was badly defeated, and Yancheng accepted thousands of remnants. He was very happy, but unexpectedly, a troublesome thing came.
"Big Leader, what are you going to do?" asked the clerk on the left.
Wei Che snorted, "The Jianghuai army is powerful. Li Zitong, Xiao Xin and the others are unwilling to take action themselves, but instead they come to harm me. How could I be fooled?"
"Li Zitong is separated from Du Fuwei by Jiangdu, so there's no need to worry about a sudden attack from Du Fuwei. Xiao Xin is in Baling, and like the Iron Cavalry, they're separated from the Jianghuai Army by the Yangtze River. What about me?"
"Once Du Fuwei breaks into Anyi and crosses the Han Canal, he will march straight into Yancheng."
"If I fight him, won't that just give others an advantage?"
"Let's talk later."
Wei Che spread his hands and said, "Behind him is an even more formidable admiral of the navy. This man is already famous in the martial arts world and is catching up with the masters of the older generation. I don't want to provoke such a powerful enemy."
The clerk on the left frowned:
"Big Dragon Head, we still need to make a decision on this matter. Otherwise, we will be alone and helpless, and it will be difficult to stop the Sui army once it arrives."
"No rush."
Wei Che said: "Let's wait for the attitude of the Jianghuai Army. I just want to seek peace and stability. I think it won't be difficult."
As he was talking about Jiang Huaijun, the steward outside ran in, shouting "There is a letter".
Wei Che stood up, took it and looked at it.
A look of surprise immediately appeared on his originally calm face.
"Big Dragon Head, what's wrong?"
Wei Che passed the news on, and the three of them were shocked after reading it: "That person is already close to Yancheng?!"
The news came very suddenly.
They thought that the Jianghuai Army would send someone over, but they never expected that this person would come in person!
The heads of several families in Yancheng County have small goals and do not want to achieve anything spectacular. They are content to just find a stable life in the cracks.
Before the general trend of the world becomes clear, they do not intend to take sides and have no interest in the currently powerful Jianghuai Army or other forces.
The safest strategy is to hold on to one's own land and wait for the appearance of God, then offer the county for peace.
Now, it is suddenly difficult to get off the tiger's back.
The Wei Mansion's chief steward was over fifty years old, his beard half white, and his aging face was filled with anger.
"This Grand Commander made a sudden visit. Is he trying to force us to submit?"
The veins on his face were bulging, obviously he was stimulating his true energy.
"He wouldn't be so naive as to think that a mere title alone would make us surrender, right?"
The clerk on the right, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up at this moment: "Don't be angry, Head Steward. We need to see the details first before we can discuss it."
He could understand the butler's feelings.
After all, Li Zitong's Iron Cavalry Society was already putting pressure on them.
Now there is another one. Even clay figures have some earthy qualities, not to mention that they dominate the area.
He then softly reminded, "This man defeated Zuo Youxian with one sword strike. His power is very high."
After hearing this, the butler suppressed his anger.
"This matter is quite strange," the clerk on the left extended his bronze hand from his sleeve and pointed to the Leizhou Peninsula.
"It took Ning Sanren nearly a hundred moves to defeat Nanhai Xianweng. This Demon Sect Grandmaster can't be any worse than Xianweng. Could it be that this Grand Commander can be even stronger than Ning Sanren?"
The clerk on the right uttered a sigh, "That can't be said in the same way."
"When people from the martial arts world fight, victory and defeat are common. Even Ning Sanren cannot guarantee that he will always be undefeated.
No matter what mystery there is in Qingliu's battle, it is undeniable that this man has attained great martial arts skills.
Even veterans who have been famous for a long time would be wary of his name and be on guard against his tactics. There is no need for us to get to the bottom of it."
He waved his hand, and Wei Che beside him also agreed.
"Although he's young, he's already a force to be reckoned with. We must be wary of a sudden attack this time. Otherwise, even with the combined strength of the four of us, we won't be a match for him."
The butler was a little nervous and said:
"Big Leader, with so many people vying for supremacy, it's not surprising that they resort to any despicable means."
"You can't bet on what kind of gentleman he is."
Although Li Zitong and the masters of the Iron Cavalry Society had arrived, the four people from the Wei Mansion were not nervous.
Because in their territory, even if there is a falling out, it is others who will suffer.
But this one is different.
Being close to such a dangerous person, especially when you don't know his intentions, is always terrifying.
The other party is extremely powerful. If he attacks, there is a huge risk that he will be killed on the spot.
No one jokes with his own life.
Wei Dalongtou of Yancheng didn't dare to do so either. He accepted the advice readily and nodded repeatedly.
"Arrange your troops and set up ambushes for swordsmen and archers. If negotiations fail and he attacks again, he won't be able to escape from my 20,000-man army!"
Wei Che glanced at the letter again:
"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario."
"Before that, we must maintain our bottom line and not offend anyone."
After that, the four of them looked at each other and reached a consensus.
From Wei's mansion, carrier pigeons flew out one after another.
Soon, the soldiers in the city were in great movement, and the atmosphere was tense as if facing a powerful enemy.
Since occupying Yancheng, Wei Che and others have rarely been so panicked.
"What's going on?"
To the west of Sheyang City, there are two rows of wooden buildings reserved for entertaining guests.
At this time, a beautiful woman was startled. She held a double-edged sword, opened the window on the second floor and looked down.
There were also people looking out of the windows next door.
"Let's go. They're not coming for us. I don't think Wei Che has the courage to do that."
Hua Lingzi took another look at it and then retracted the double blades.
Gengge Huer, a fellow apprentice beside him, was puzzled: "Why are they suddenly mobilizing troops? Could it be that the Sui army is attacking?"
Hua Lingzi shook his head.
Gengge Huer embraced his long sword and said, "There's no need for us to stay here any longer. Wei Che can only be a coward. He doesn't have the courage to attack the Jianghuai Army."
"These people are spread across the north of the Yangtze River. It will be very difficult for Qu Te to control the Iron Cavalry Society to develop northward."
Hua Lingzi waved his hand, not caring too much: "Didn't the man surnamed Xiang say that even if Wei Che was a coward, as long as he didn't send troops and the Sui army didn't take it into consideration, they would attack the Jianghuai army with all their might.
Furthermore, we are only following our Master's orders; success or failure is not something we can consider."
"That's wrong."
At this moment, a low and hoarse voice was heard in the room.
Gengge Huer and Hua Lingzi turned to look at the four people sitting around the Eight Immortals Table. They were all dressed in black, carrying longbows and quivers on their backs, and scimitars on their waists.
The four people's eyes were brighter than each other.
The person who was speaking had a piercing gaze, as if he could see every hair on the person's body.
Hua Lingzi felt uncomfortable when he stared at her.
Under the throne of the Tiele King in the northern borderland, apart from the flying eagle Qu Ao, there are the five most mysterious Iron Arrow Guards.
Only they can use their innate extraordinary abilities in archery.
The second to fifth arrow guards can each control the raging waves for seven turns.
The king's first guard is well versed in the Nine Transformations of Condensation.
His skills were not as good as Qu Ao's, but when it came to archery, he was not even as good as Qu Ao.
The first guard looked to be in his sixties, with a pointed face, like an old vulture.
He looked at Qu Ao's two disciples and smiled gently: "Everyone is working for the king outside, so naturally you must do your best."
"Wei Shou, we have tried our best."
Hua Lingzi said:
"The Great Sui is different from the Tiele. We cannot bring all the customs of the grassland here. You think Wei Che is a coward, but that's because he lacks the courage of a king. There are many such people. It would be strange to try to change them."
"Exactly."
Gengge Huer continued his senior sister's words: "No matter how many promises you make to Wei Che, he will not attack Jianghuai."
The first guard turned the teacup and said, "In that case, let's do it ourselves."
Hua Lingzi frowned, "You should think carefully. Lu Kesaya died at the hands of that man. His Qinggong was comparable to Yun Shuai, and his martial arts skills were even higher."
The first guard looked cautious and did not answer.
The second guard said: "As long as they are human, they will die."
The fourth guard said, "We only need one chance. Even if Wu Zun suddenly enters our arrow formation, he will die. The combined strength of the four of us is far greater than that of Ruksayeh alone."
The fifth arrow guard placed his hands on his chest and said, "I want to avenge my brother Ruksayeh and clear away the obstacles for the king."
The four archery masters had already made their decision. Hua Lingzi knew their personalities and stopped trying to persuade them.
Gengge called her son and said:
"This is a temporary decision. Let me make it clear that we will not take any risks with you without the master's orders."
"nature."
"We will disguise ourselves as hunters and sneak into Jianghuai."
After a few people agreed, Hua Lingzi looked at Geng Gehuer, then went to find Wei Che to say hello.
Unexpected
But he brought back a piece of news that excited the four arrow guards.
That night, the four great archer guards closed their eyes and went to sleep before dawn. They had a magical method. They thought about the bowstring in their minds, and the string became thinner and thinner, and finally merged into the darkness. At this time, they could fall into a deep sleep.
And he didn't wake up for six hours.
The next day, when everyone's eyes regained their sight, they saw distinct black and white, clear and bright, without any bloodshot, and there was a sense of genuine energy constantly flowing through their pupils.
At this time, they could easily see the fly's thigh three meters away.
The spirits of the four people have been adjusted to the best state.
Hua Lingzi and Gengge Huer were extremely frightened when they saw the four men holding bows.
Man and bow became one, four people became four bows.
If they didn't reveal their murderous intentions, no one would notice them. Once the arrows exploded, it was too late.
This may be the most difficult killer to prevent in the world.
"Sheyang City, this name is really appropriate."
The First Arrow Guard's eyes remained calm: "We are about to shoot down the Jianghuai Army's sun."
"Tatttatt~"
There was a crisp sound of horse hooves in the city, from the west of Sheyang City, all the way to Wei Mansion in the center of the city.
There are many salt shops in the city, and wooden signs with Huai salt and tribute salt are everywhere.
Many big salt merchants were surprised to see the army in the city moving together, as if they were escorting someone into Daluotou Mansion.
In front of Wei Mansion, there were three layers of spearmen lined up on both sides of the gate, all wearing Ming Guang armor.
The two round guards on the spearmen's chests were polished to a shine like mirrors, reflecting the sunlight and looking extremely majestic.
It can be seen that everyone who can be here is an elite.
"Grand Commander, please~!"
Wei Che raised his hand and the army made way. The chief steward and two clerks beside him also smiled and looked at the young man in white who was dismounting.
Zhou Yi glanced around. He was holding a horse whip, looking relaxed:
"Wei Dalongtou, why are you making it so grand?"
"Hahaha."
Wei Che laughed heartily: "The Grand Commander's reputation is known throughout Jianghuai. Now that he has come to Sheyang, how dare I neglect him?"
"please!"
Zhou Yi waved back, and Di Fangsi, the old man from the Nanyang Gang, and Feng Si from the Taoist temple immediately understood and led the people accompanying them to stay outside the door.
He walked into the mansion, which was surrounded by high walls and courtyards and stretches of houses.
Entering the second courtyard, you will see a large pond with koi carps swimming around in it, which is pleasing to the eye.
In addition, Zhou Yi also felt many auras.
A large number of people were lying in ambush behind a courtyard wall.
Zhou Yi laughed and said, "Wei Dalongtou, you said you were inviting me to a banquet, but it turned out to be the Hongmen Banquet? But was the signal for the banquet to be a cup-smashing banquet?"
Wei Che naturally knew that he couldn't hide it, so he laughed awkwardly:
"How dare I, Wei, who lives in a remote corner, become an enemy of the Grand Commander? Many forces have come to attack us recently, and there are many experts in the city, so I can only arrange a few people to guard against it."
Zhou Yi didn't expose the issue: "Better safe than sorry. It looks like Wei Dalongtou's ship can keep sailing."
Wei Che shook his head and said, lowering his status, "I will drink three cups as punishment later. Please don't mind, Grand Commander."
Zhou Yi found it funny. He didn't expect to be treated like this during his trip to Yancheng.
Although Wei Che was overly cautious, he did put pressure on people.
Fortunately, this place is not a wilderness, but a place where houses are connected to each other. Otherwise, running into someone else's army would be tantamount to seeking death.
After entering the inner hall, Wei Che invited Zhou Yi to take a seat and then spoke first.
"We are used to a peaceful life in Yancheng County and cannot stand any disturbance. Some people wanted me to form an alliance with them to harm the Jianghuai Army, but I rejected them all."
"So that the Grand Commander knows that I have no ill will towards the Jianghuai Army."
"The situation in Yancheng County is quite complicated."
He was about to say more when Zhou Yi interrupted him with a smile: "Wei Dalongtou, you don't have to tell me this. I came here completely by chance."
"oh?"
The butler and two clerks beside him pricked up their ears.
Zhou Yi took out a letter sealed with wax:
"I was going to go straight north from Qingliu, but Military Advisor Xu suggested I go up the river, cross the Yangzi Ferry, and then visit Gaoyou Lake, and bring you a letter.
As for what is written in this letter, even I don’t know.”
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Everyone knows that Yangzi Ferry and Gaoyou Lake are controlled by the Sui army.
But considering his martial arts skills, he does have the courage to cross the ferry.
Besides, he didn't brag.
The Jianghuai Army was heading north along the Han Canal.
Wei Che took the letter and wanted to open it.
But I held back.
He felt a huge sense of emptiness in his heart, as if he had punched cotton with a strong punch.
You made a big fuss, but the other person was just passing by.
I guess he was already mocking her in his heart.
As a local overlord, Wei Che felt more and more frustrated, and the smile on his face became much stiffer.
The chief steward and the two clerks felt the same way.
Zhou Yi broke the silence:
"I heard that this place has snow-white salt mountains, golden waterways, and a magnificent seaside view. If the Great Dragon Head doesn't mind, you can send a guide to take me there."
"Why would I need anyone else? I'll just accompany the Grand Commander."
Wei Che forced a smile: "However, it's almost noon, so let's wait until after dinner."
Zhou Yi didn't agree to let him lead the way, but he didn't refuse to have a meal.
This meal was a grand occasion.
Yancheng is close to the sea, and Wei Che asked people to prepare a lot of seafood.
Several people from Dalongtou Mansion discovered that the purpose of this person coming to Yancheng seemed to be just to deliver a letter.
I don't care about the situation in the south or north of the Yangtze River.
He doesn't look like the overlord who is famous in Jiangbei at all, but rather like a martial arts expert.
However, this is a good thing for Weicher.
Although I haven't read the letter he brought, judging from his attitude, I think it must be the goodwill of the Jianghuai Army.
It would be great if we could play both sides between the Jiangnan forces and the Jianghuai Army.
Because he felt aggrieved before, Wei Che no longer mentioned drinking three cups as punishment.
He had already lost face and could not afford to be trampled upon by the Jianghuai Army again.
During the meal, Zhou Yi talked with him about how to eat seafood.
Unexpectedly, Wei Che understood very well.
Wei Dalongtou was drinking while reminiscing:
"I grew up by the sea, and I'm most familiar with the freshness of the sea. Actually, I know quite a few cooking methods to preserve freshness and remove the fishy smell, but I've been so busy fighting wars, practicing martial arts, and managing the county that I haven't had time to light a fire."
"yes."
The butler on the side said:
"Fourteen years ago, we were being chased by pirates. When we were in trouble, we caught a huge lobster on the beach. The big head of the lobster was simply cooked with coarse salt, but it was still very delicious.
I can’t forget the taste of that time. Over the years, only Dalongtou can reproduce the taste of the sea.”
He smacked his lips and took several sips of wine.
When they talked about the past, they started to talk more.
Zhou Yi fully trusted Xu Xingzhi, so he didn't mention the nearby war at all.
These people are extremely vigilant and very resistant to outside forces.
He was also very curious about what effect the letter could have.
In the courtyards surrounding the Wei Mansion, the swordsmen and archers lying in ambush all relaxed as they heard the sounds of drinking and toasting coming from the banquet hall.
Some people lying on the roof also gradually loosened their bowstrings.
"Dude, aren't you tired?"
"Rest, there's no way we can fight."
A man wearing green shoulder sleeves patted the man beside him, but the man remained indifferent and still held the longbow.
The man rolled his eyes, lay down on the tiles next to him, and was too lazy to say anything more.
This man looked unfamiliar, and I thought he was Meng Rang's recently recruited soldier.
No wonder Meng Rang suffered a crushing defeat. These subordinates have no foresight at all.
The Jianghuai Grand Commander and the Dragon Head were in the mood for drinking, so how could they suddenly attack each other?
A while later.
The sound of drinking stopped and the banquet came to an end.
There were voices and noisy footsteps moving out from the inner hall.
The man on the tile was lying with a bow in his arms, squinting his eyes and trying to catch fish. He had seen him before when the commander-in-chief came in, but the novelty wore off and he didn't pay any attention to him now.
Slowly.
He felt that the sky was getting darker and darker. There was a glaring sun just now, but suddenly dark clouds came.
Huh? No, it's a human shadow.
The man glanced sideways and saw the man next to him stood up.
It was his shadow that covered his face.
"Hey, why are you standing up? The captain is going to scold us later."
No one paid any attention to him.
The next moment, the man took a closer look and was immediately frightened to death.
I saw the man next to me with his waist slightly hunched, his back like a stretched bowstring, his shoulder blades retracted, his chest stretched out like a drum.
This is the essence of Mobei archery, "accumulating strength in the waist."
He hooked the string with three fingers of his right hand and pulled it back, with his fingertips touching his cheekbone. His elbows were raised and flat like an eagle spreading its wings, and the horn bow was pulled into a perfect arc!
Before the man could make a sound, he discovered a strange scene.
The cow tendon string was pulled out violently, but only made a slight vibration. While the bowstring was still shaking, he didn't even see the other party's movements clearly. The next arrow in the quiver appeared in his hand again.
Pull out the arrow and shoot. Pull out the arrow and shoot.
Faster and faster!!
A strong gust of wind blew up with the archer as the center, and the man lying on the tiles and the glazed tiles were swept away by the wind.
This force is like a wave, one wave pushing the other.
It is the Seven Turns of Wild Waves!
The man rolled on the tiles and screamed.
Before he fell off the roof, he saw a horrifying scene. The guy's arrow was actually shot at the Jianghuai Governor.
And, more than one person!
The peaceful Wei family mansion was torn apart by the whistling sound of arrows in an instant. The five arrow guards of the Tiele throne, with the combined strength of four people, mobilized their innate true energy, and shot out a fatal innate arrow formation!
Zhou Yi in the second courtyard dodged three arrows in a row when he heard the sound of arrows!
These three arrows came from three directions, each with a swirl, cutting off his escape route!
Wei Che, the chief steward, and two clerks reacted much more slowly.
If these three arrows were shot at them, they would be killed instantly!
Even so, they were all horrified:
"careful!"
Wei Che roared, if the Jianghuai Grand Commander died here, there would be no ending.
When Wei Che reminded him, Zhou Yi had already seen the fourth arrow, which was the most insidious and swiftest.
The sound of this arrow passing through the air was actually hidden among the other three arrows. It was silent, but it had a deadly trajectory!
If Zhou Yi had not practiced the Shadowless Wind God and experienced the wonder of "the wind rising from the green duckweed", he would never have noticed it in time.
There was no time to even draw the sword!
He put his fingers together to form a powerful energy, but he didn't dare use his flesh and blood to block the lightning-like arrow. He used his clever strength to lightly deflect the arrow, causing it to deviate from its trajectory. It grazed his neck, left a bloody mark on his shoulder, and shot directly at Wei Che and the other two behind him.
The arrow is slightly slower, but extremely powerful.
As Wei Che retreated, he raised his gauntlet and gave a powerful push.
The arrow flew obliquely through the beam, and the wooden pillar as thick as a thigh exploded directly. He was suddenly hit by the strong force and fell to the side, breaking the wooden door with a click.
The two clerks were quick to pull Wei Che back again.
Another arrow flew obliquely from the Grand Commander in the center of the courtyard and hit Wei Che in the crotch. Wei Che was so scared that he rolled on the spot and hurriedly touched his lower body.
Fortunately, my martial arts skills are still there.
"Grand Commander~!"
The butler shouted urgently: "Quickly capture the assassin!"
In the courtyard, Zhou Yi was surrounded by arrows from all directions in the center of the courtyard. This arrow formation was extremely terrifying and did not give you any chance to react.
Zhou Yi didn't dare to breathe out. He took a deep breath and, relying on his superb lightness skills, took a step forward, moved sideways half a foot, and stepped into the clear pond full of koi in the courtyard!
The wind filled his legs, and he suddenly had an idea and used his legs as swords. The Wind God's Shadowless Sword turned into the Wind God's Legs.
Immediately, water waves swirled around his body and went up into the sky, forming a water prison.
The koi fish swam in the air along the water prison. The scene was wonderful, and arrows with black feathers kept shooting in from outside the water.
But there is this layer of water curtain blocking it.
When outsiders look inside, light is refracted, and no matter how sharp the eyesight of the Tiele archers is, they will lose their precise accuracy.
Once the subtle mysteries are lost and the texture cannot be examined in detail, the threat of the innate arrow formation to Zhou Yi will be greatly reduced!
He became more and more adept at dodging arrows in the water dungeon and had already grasped the locations of the four people.
Immediately, his fists released a frosty air, which crackled and turned the water prison into ice.
The swimming koi fish are all imprisoned, and under the spring sunshine, they look like lifelike ice crystal murals.
Zhou Yi took another breath of pure true energy, turning from passive to active, and with one palm he emptied out a violent force, sending the three feather arrows flying.
A sword was unsheathed, and the sword energy broke the flying arrows head-on. The arrows separated, and one whistling sound turned into two.
The moment he escaped from the arrow array, he used his lightness skills and a white shadow flashed on the roof of the Wei family mansion.
He approached the archer who had just shot a fatal threat at him at an extremely fast speed.
The old vulture threw away his bow, drew out his scimitar and slashed with continuous flashes of sword light.
The Tiele people's methods are very similar to those of the Turks.
If you focus on attacking instead of defending, and your fierce attack fails to kill your opponent, you will be the one to die.
This is the law of the grassland, the strong survive to the end.
His eyes were fierce and there was no fear on his face. The knife in his hand was getting faster and faster. He didn't care about his own vital parts in every move. He was fighting with the intention of dying together!
Zhou Yi could kill him with one sword, but he would rather die with that sword, which must hit Zhou Yi.
Sword and knife energy exploded around the two men, and rubble flew everywhere.
The old vulture's true energy bounced in his body nine times in a row, using the innate method of Condensing the True Energy Nine Changes.
The last blow was blocked, and he had no more strength left. His sharp eyes finally lost sight of the shadow of the sword.
The next moment, my heart ached!
He ignored it completely and charged towards Zhou Yijian, stabbing the tip of the knife into his throat with a backhand strike.
“Boom~!”
A huge force came from his abdomen, and his knife flew out of his hand. He was kicked off the roof like a cannonball, smashing the tiles and falling into the house. The whole house shook violently, and a layer of old dust fell.
The remaining three archers were being hunted down by Wei Che's men.
One of the masters killed more than a dozen people in a row, but was shot into a hornet's nest by Wei Che's archers.
Another person was caught in a spear array formed by a group of elite soldiers. After killing a few people, he was stabbed to death by spears coming from all directions.
The last person broke through the encirclement and escaped for his life.
but
A violent sound of breaking wind was heard behind him. Every time the white-clothed figure tapped his toes, a big hole would be torn in the roof of the Wei family mansion.
He himself rushed forward almost like lightning.
A pair of eyes, filled with anger, were fixed on the person in front.
At this speed, there is no hope of escape.
He paused, turned back and drew his sword: "Second Arrow Guard, Lu Kehongji."
"All of you Five Arrow Guards will die today."
Zhou Yi slowly approached: "Also, your Tiele King, when I have time, I will go and settle the score with him."
Second Arrow Guardian:
"The five of us once hunted down two powerful horse bandits in the desert. One was from Nanshiwei and used a gun, and the other was from Bohai and used a sword. They were also martial arts masters.
You are indeed a bit stronger than them, but unfortunately there are only four of us, and our innate arrow formation is not complete."
"Your sneak attack didn't kill me, so what's the pity?"
Zhou Yi asked coldly, "Are there only four of you?"
Lu Kehongji nodded: "This is the greatest respect for you. There are not many people who can make us take action together."
As soon as he finished speaking, his toes rolled on the tiles and he approached like a tiger pouncing on its prey. His scimitar drew a silver arc along the ground, sending several pieces of broken tiles flying.
Another fearless and daring fighting style.
However, his skills and swordsmanship are obviously inferior to those of the First Arrow Guard.
Zhou Yi swung his sword, the sword light flashed, and all of Lu Kehongji's sword shadows were shattered.
When the scimitar and the sword collided, Lu Kehongji's palm felt numb, and the scimitar suddenly bent and slipped out of his hand.
This time, he lost completely.
Zhou Yi's long sword slashed down.
“Boom~!”
Relying on his years of fighting instincts, he fell backwards to the ground, and the tiles shattered into dust behind him.
There was a sharp roar, and the sound was like the arrow he had just shot.
The knife flew out of his hand and fell straight down. As Zhou Yi pressed his palm, it reflected the sunlight onto Lu Kehongji's face and then pierced him.
The second arrow guard took his last breath.
Zhou Yi did not put away his sword. He walked on the roof of the Wei family mansion with the sword in one hand and Lu Kehongji's body in the other.
All the soldiers of Yancheng County were watching this scene.
Wei Che, the chief steward, and the two clerks all looked nervous.
They never expected that such a change would occur today.
With a "bang".
Lu Kehongji's body was thrown into the courtyard, and the four archer guards were lined up in an orderly manner.
Zhou Yi's eyes were not as friendly as they were at the beginning.
Although he was in the Yancheng army formation, he looked at Wei Che with a fierce look.
"Wei Dalongtou, how do you explain it?"
Wei Che wanted to say, "This has nothing to do with me," but how could it not be related to me?
If he hadn't deployed a large number of manpower around him, how could these four people have such good conditions to take action?
The environment was created by him, Wei Che.
The chief steward and two clerks beside him all gestured at him with their eyes.
Just now they truly witnessed this man's powerful methods. This arrow formation full of murderous intent could not do anything to him.
The koi in the pond are still frozen.
"Grand Commander, please believe me, these four are definitely not from Yancheng. I deployed my troops everywhere precisely to guard against these assassins."
Wei Che's voice softened: "However, today's situation is indeed the result of Wei's negligence."
Zhou Yi glanced at the corpse and squinted at him:
"Wei Dalongtou, didn't you say before that you would drink three cups as punishment?"
Everyone looked at Wei Che.
A muscle on Wei Che's face twitched, and for a moment he wanted to order a charge.
However, when he saw the bloody sword, he swallowed his words.
Seeing the looks from his three brothers again, he sighed inwardly.
"Okay! Wei will drink three cups as punishment."
He ran back to the house and brought out the wine jug and wine glass.
Three small glasses of wine were nothing to him.
Not to mention three cups, he could even drink thirty cups.
but
When Wei Dalongtou drank three cups of wine in front of everyone, he did not feel like he was sleeping on straw and tasting gall.
Instead, most of his ambition to dominate the world died in that instant.
Zhou Yi put away his sword.
At this time, someone outside came to report: "Big Dragon Head, the people from the Iron Cavalry Society are here."
With a "bang", the wine jug broke into pieces.
Wei Che glared at him, "How dare they come here! Go and bring them in!"
"yes!"
Feeling the dragon head's anger, the messenger immediately ran out.
After a while, a young man and woman walked in. They were Qu Ao's two disciples, Gengge Huer and Hua Lingzi.
The two seemed to be able to understand Wei Che's character very well, and they were not afraid when they saw him furious.
Instead, his eyes avoided when he looked at the young man in white in the yard.
After all, in their eyes, this person's majesty is almost as great as that of their master.
"Grand Commander."
The people of the grassland have a natural admiration for the strong, and when they bow and shout, they can't help but bend slightly.
Wei Che saw them talking, held his breath, and did not interrupt.
"You two are Qu Ao's disciples, right?"
Geng Ge Huer said: "Yes, I am Geng Ge Huer, and this is my senior sister Hua Lingzi."
"Since you are members of the Iron Cavalry Society like these four, how dare you appear before me?"
Zhou Yi's gaze made the two of them feel a sense of pressure.
Hua Lingzi said, "Last time we lost the body of the Third Arrow Guard. This time, following our master's orders, if the four of them also die in the Sui Dynasty, we must bring their bodies to the Tiele King."
The two of them held their breath slightly.
Life and death all depend on the other person's thoughts.
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "You two are quite courageous. Take the body back and then pass my message back to the grassland and to the Tiele King."
"These four people, one hundred thousand gold each, four hundred thousand gold for all four."
"Tell the Tiele King to prepare his belongings and settle this debt. Otherwise, sooner or later I will invade the northern frontier, overthrow his throne, and chop off his head."
"That's what I said. Even Wu Zun can't protect him."
"in addition."
Hua Lingzi looked up at him and continued listening to him.
"Go back and tell your master Qu Ao that if you have the guts, you should enter the Sui Dynasty and fight me. Don't just sneak around and play these little tricks."
"As for the Iron Cavalry, either disband where you are, or wait for me to come and slaughter you until not a single tile remains."
"Just these three, have you written them down?"
Gengge Huer's emotions were brewing, and he couldn't help but draw his sword and fight to the death.
He felt a great shame.
However, senior sister Hua Lingzi beside her nodded.
"Go ahead and carry these four eyesores away."
Wei Che waved his sleeves and asked someone to bring a wide door panel, with two people in a row, stacked in two layers, and let them carry it away.
Qu Ao and his two main disciples, along with four great archery guards, left the Wei residence.
When they arrived outside of Sheri City, they had to wait for other disciples to come to their rescue before they had a chance to fight.
Gengge Huer's face was full of anger:
"Senior Sister, what's with that expression on your face?"
Hua Lingzi turned his gaze away from Sheri City and said,
"I like this kind of man. He has a fascinating strength and dominance. In Tiele, no one dares to say such words."
"You're crazy."
Gengge Huer was even angrier: "I should have drawn my sword just now. Even if I died, I shouldn't have been humiliated."
Hua Lingzi said: "No, we want to go back to Saibei."
"Why?"
"I hope such a person can inspire Master's fighting spirit, which was suppressed by Wu Zun."
