Chapter 174 Ji You's Arrow and Sword

The barbarians are a mixed race of alien tribes, and they do not have much in common in terms of culture and spiritual heritage.

In the eyes of the human race, which has no outsiders, there are many factions and obvious conflicts even within themselves. How can a mixed race like the barbarians be united and strong? It is simply a pipe dream.

But in fact, the barbarian leaders only used this one goal of "recapturing Jiuzhou and seeing the blue sky again" to quickly accelerate the integration and unification of the ethnic groups.

The distance between the two realms is only a hundred miles.

There are endless fertile fields in the south, but there is no grass growing under my feet and poisonous creatures are rampant.

The barbarian tribes in the Shiwan Mountains really want to go back and see the blue sky.

As a result, counterattacks continued, Hantie Pass was attacked repeatedly, and the confrontation lasted for a thousand years.

Many people do not understand why the barbarians continue to fight even though they cannot penetrate. But in fact, they use constant warfare to bind the ethnic groups together like an iron plate that cannot be penetrated by a needle or splashed with water.

As a result, the barbarians, from top to bottom, continued to unite under the constraints of the military system.

This development process, mixed with blood and tears, war and fire, is completely opposite to that of the human race.

From the perspective of the human race, accurately transmitting information up and down the ladder is as difficult as ascending to become an immortal.

Just like collecting taxes every year, the amount collected into the Great Xia treasury would always be much less than the amount collected from each state and county after layers of corruption.

So at the beginning, Si Xian Jian did not expect that there would be such efficient communication between the barbarians.

Any missing soldier would alarm the top leaders, which the human race could not understand, but the barbarians did it anyway.

This is no longer the cowardly race of ancient times that feared war and only cared about escaping.

From this we can see that extreme poverty can indeed change a person's life, both in character and conduct.

On the bumpy carriage, Ji You lifted the curtains and kept looking out the window at the darkness as the carriage sped along. Suddenly, he found the commonality between himself and the barbarians.

He also ate wild vegetables in Yuyang County for three years, saw the dead bodies everywhere and the graves of the living people in the mountains, and then he had an urge to kill everything and felt that death would not be a problem.

It was like this when he rescued Qiu Ru, it was like this when he went to Qiling, and it was also like this when he drew his sword and attacked Fengzhou Prefecture.

Ji You narrowed his eyes and felt countless auras approaching this side, followed by the endless sound of horse hooves, coming from far away.

Soon, countless barbarians on horseback appeared on the left, right and back sides of the convoy.

In the howling cold wind, the rough hair kept flying, and the dark green eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Bend the bow and nock the arrow.

Buzz! The sharp sound of breaking through the air resounded through the dead silent night sky, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the originally quiet night suddenly boiled.

An overwhelming rain of arrows came from all directions like a black tide. Every arrow that shot out of the bow was wrapped in an indomitable momentum, and the sharp arrowheads flashed a cold light in the night.

The barbarians are born with supernatural powers, and their strong bows are specially made according to their own strength.

In an instant, the magical weapons under the convoy roared with violent spiritual energy and suddenly rose up to meet the flying arrows.

Amid the clanging sounds, violent impact sounds continued to ring out.

In the dazzling light, arrows were bounced off one after another, but the heavy impact still caused the carriage to shake violently and sway from side to side, like a lone boat in the strong wind and huge waves.

Countless envoys had solemn expressions on their faces and clung to the carriages, feeling uneasy.

Sure enough, what the deputy director of the Sixian Prison had predicted was not wrong, they were indeed exposed.

In just half a night, the barbarians began to search the area where the soldiers disappeared. After smelling the vague direction, the rangers from the east, west, south and north gathered here and met! The moment the arrow was bounced, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

At this time, Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai, who had gone ahead to explore the way, returned and landed on the sedan chair in the front in a brilliant aura, with their gauze skirts swaying in the wind.

"The only ones chasing us were the nearby rangers. They had been wandering around earlier, and they happened to be gathering here when we set out. It seems that the news was leaked because of the missing soldiers. The previous judgment should be correct."

"We explored along the route and found that the highest one should be at the upper soldier level, estimated to be more than 20, and the rest are at the middle and lower soldier levels."

"The southwest has the largest number of people, while the west is close to the barbarian camp. The risks are extremely high."

As mentioned earlier, capturing the location of the delegation based on the disappearance of soldiers is neither accurate nor timely.

Therefore, before the exact location was exposed, the barbarians' stronger combat force could not arrive in time.

What they are encountering now are the barbarians in the military realm, so they still have a chance. If they can shake off these pursuing soldiers, they may be able to enter the secret state again.

Peng Dongyang exchanged a glance with the elders, then said, "We will head east first, try to shake off the pursuers, then detour to the northwest and continue on our way to the Snow Region."

The other elders were now sending their spiritual thoughts outward, looking towards the rear of the speeding carriage: "If we want to shake them off, we must first deal with those pursuers. We cannot give them a chance to gather, or we will be surrounded."

"That makes sense."

"Then, kill without mercy."

Boom! There was a loud bang and a sound of shattering, like a thunderous explosion.

Several figures suddenly jumped out from the carriages on the left and right wings, and spiritual energy immediately gathered here like waves.

Gongshu Chou stood up first, the sword in his hand shone brightly, and then a barbarian covered in heavy iron armor on horseback suddenly rose into the air, the spear in his hand piercing straight towards him like a dragon emerging from the sea, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind.

With a "swoosh", the spear and sword collided violently, and the violent air waves roared around like a surging tide.

At the same time, Jiang Chenfeng, Huo Hong, Chu Butian, Tu Xu, Jiang Yuerou, Xiao Hanyan, Shi Junhao and others, with spiritual light flashing around them, looked like banished immortals. They turned around and rushed towards the barbarians who were riding their horses wildly and aggressively.

Under the cover of night, the collision of iron tools created dazzling sparks.

Gongshu Chou swung his sword and charged forward with all his might, picking up the spear with the sharp force of his sword, and the sword energy pointing toward the sky was about to fall down with a bang as he raised his hand.

However, at this critical moment, a dull buzzing sound suddenly sounded from his right side, causing his pupils to shrink. He immediately put away his sword and flew back.

At this moment, more than a dozen powerful arrows attacked rapidly under the cover of night.

The middle-level barbarians following behind the upper-level barbarians all held bows and arrows, infusing their natural divine powers into the arrows, and their aura was so strong that it was simply terrifying.

The human race has comprehended the Way of Heaven, has exquisite techniques, and has an immortal temperament.

But if the force is extremely strong, it can eventually break the law.

There is even a barbarian with his arms behind his back, holding a black bow in both hands, and pulling the bowstring like a full moon with the other hand. He is so ferocious that it makes people want to curse!

More importantly, years of war have made these barbarians cooperate with each other seamlessly, and their ability to fight in coordination is even more terrifying.

Gongshu Qiu swung his sword repeatedly, using the powerful force of his sword to break the arrows that were coming at him. But before he could catch his breath, the iron spear suddenly stabbed at him again, accompanied by a sharp sound of wind, like a ghost.

But at this moment, an arrow wrapped in rich spiritual energy suddenly flew out from three inches above his left shoulder and moved forward.

With a loud bang, the barbarian holding the iron spear felt his palms numb from the shock, and he suddenly grimaced, and the rhythm of his thrusts was interrupted.

At this time, Ji You was already standing on the roof of the carriage, holding a strong bow in his hand, pulling the bowstring like a full moon. The bulging muscles in his arms seemed to contain enough power to tear everything apart.

The next moment, another arrow flew out of his hand and pierced the skull of the barbarian's warhorse.

There was not even a wailing neigh; the galloping horse fell to the ground with a bang and was drowned out by the retreating night.

There has always been a bow in his storage gourd, the most expensive bow in Qionghua Pavilion.

This bow was given to him by Yan Shuyi for self-defense when he went to Qiling.

He used this bow to shoot and kill many evil creatures in the past, but he never encountered any large-scale melee since then, so he never used it again until now.

He didn't know why Gongshu Chou had always been kind to him, but using Lingjian Mountain's bows to help the people of Lingjian Mountain was reasonable and legal.

At this time, Ji You drew the arrow again, his eyes shone with golden light, but his eyes concealed a sense of reluctance and heartache.

An arrow shot while flying cannot be retrieved...

"As expected of you who almost killed me!"

"Good arrows!"

Gongshu Chou roared excitedly, then went out with his sword, chopped the gun-wielding barbarian and sent him flying, then killed him with a loud bang.

His shout instantly attracted the other Rong Dao realm cultivators who were fighting.

They had the same experience as Gongshu Chou. Even though the opponents on the opposite side were only at the upper level of the Tongxuan realm, their strong bodies made it extremely difficult for them to be broken in a short period of time.

Therefore, every time they fought, countless arrows with terrifying energy would fly through the wind, making them extremely distracted.

As Gongshu Chou's shout of "Good arrow" rang out, everyone couldn't help but glance over and saw Ji You drawing his bow and drawing his arrow on the carriage.

Whoosh! The arrow flew out of his hand, and the bowstring trembled violently.

The warhorse on the opposite side fell to the ground, and the barbarian at the middle level who was still drawing his bow suddenly fell to the ground and disappeared into the retreating night.

Because of Ji You's bow and arrow, the barbarian with the gun was killed with blood on his chest even though he was physically strong. He was chopped away by a sword before he could raise his gun to stab again.

At this time, Ji You had already drawn his bow again, and suddenly shot through the pursuer's horse again.

The barbarian who fell off his horse and was covered in sand immediately roared to the sky, looking at the galloping carriage and his comrades who were chasing him, his face was ferocious and his sharp fangs were bared.

Then he gripped the arrow on the horse's head and pulled it out angrily, intending to catch up and kill those humans with it, but his face changed drastically when he exerted force.

The arrow not only pierced his horse, but also pinned the horse's head to the ground.

During the pursuit, Jiang Chenfeng, Huo Hong, Jiang Yuerou, Xiao Hanyan, Shi Junhao and others saw him shooting arrows continuously to help Gongshu Chou fight off the barbarians, and their expressions varied.

"I thought that after his whereabouts were exposed, this Tongxuan realm would be useless, but I didn't expect that he still had a bow..."

"Nice bow..."

"It seems that he did a lot of preparation before coming here. He prepared a lot of tricks, including sword and bow. He can make up for his low level weakness. If he is not approached, he will probably survive."

Amidst a clash of iron weapons, Shi Junhao defeated a barbarian from the Shangbing tribe, but then he saw dozens of powerful arrows flying towards him. He could only temporarily give up the chance to break his body and dodge in the air.

While dodging, he looked at Ji You, whose figure was like a full moon, and felt secretly unhappy.

In their opinion, as a fellow disciple of Tianshu Academy, Ji You should have cooperated with them with the strong bow in his hand, but he never expected that he was helping the disciple of Lingjian Mountain.

Xiao Hanyan had the same idea. He shouted at Ji You several times, but the other party did not respond. Anger rose between his brows.

In the melee, Ji You remained calm and had no thoughts. The spiritual energy accumulated in his hands continued to sway on the bowstring, and the rhythm of pulling the string became faster and faster, and the sound of the bow breaking continued.

He is alone, and no matter how fast he is, it will be useless once he is dispersed.

The first priority now is to get rid of the pursuit of these barbarians in front of us and make them lose the direction of pursuit to prevent the main force from joining here.

So he didn't try to shoot the barbarians, but prioritized shooting the war horses that were more likely to die.

The barbarians had a chance to block the arrows, but it was far less efficient than shooting the horses.

Ji You frowned and drew the bow again. The arrow shot out and directly tore through the strong wind in front of him and pierced through it fiercely.

But at this moment, in the silent night, two hideous figures suddenly rose into the air and swooped down from both sides of him.

They changed direction temporarily, but not all of the barbarian pursuers came from behind.

There were also some barbarian cavalrymen who had been searching on both sides. They chased after them and saw from afar a figure on the carriage constantly drawing a bow. Wherever the arrow pointed, people and horses fell to the ground. So they jumped into the air from the horse's back with murderous intent.

The first person to see this scene was not Ji You.

Because he was bending his bow and continuously shooting arrows, killing the horses while supporting Gongshu Chou who was constantly swinging his sword.

So the first people to see this scene were actually Jiang Chenfeng, Jiang Yuerou, Huo Hong on his left and right, as well as Xiao Hanyan and Shi Junhao from Tianshuyuan.

Everyone believes that if one does not get close to others, one may be able to survive in the Tongxuan realm.

After all, every time Ji You went out to kill the enemy, he would look very embarrassed.

This shows that he could indeed defeat the previous upper-level soldier, but his victory was risky.

But now, the ones flying over are two people at the upper military level.

But Jiang Chenfeng and others did not help, but continued to try their best to break through the defense of the barbarians in front of them. Even Xiao Hanyan and Shi Junhao who were in Tianshuyuan did the same.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The important task is to shake off the pursuit of the barbarians."

“I don’t understand why the Tongxuan realm is joining in on this fun.”

"I've already seen that he's just trying to hold on, and this journey will become more and more dangerous. I can't help him every time. It's better to not have such a burden."

"Standing on the roof is too conspicuous..."

The night is deep, and the chaotic thoughts around me are like thick ink, surging wildly.

Tianjiao couldn't help but look sideways, as if he had already seen a bloody fall in the sky.

But what was unexpected was that just as the two barbarians arrived, a loud and sharp sword energy suddenly shot up into the sky, instantly tearing the endless darkness apart, and slammed down on the two barbarians who came to attack, and the powerful sword energy whistled throughout the sky.

【Dao Sword·Xiao Chongshan】

With a dull thud, the two barbarians who came with knives were pressed down directly. Their floating figures became three inches shorter, and the iron knives trembled.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned to see the figure who had been standing on the roof of the car suddenly become filled with sword intent, and floated into the air in an instant, with the sword in his hand moving forward as fiercely as waves.

The energy as heavy as a mountain made the carriage beside it unable to bear the weight, making a painful creaking sound, as if it would fall apart at any time.

sonorous!

The two barbarian soldiers held on with knives, a hint of horror flashing in their eyes.

So after exchanging a glance, they suddenly withdrew their swords and dodged to the left and right. The sword energy, without any obstruction, directly cut a wide and deep groove on the ground, and mud splashed everywhere.

At this time, the two barbarians had already stepped out a deep pit on the wasteland, and used the force to rise up again, roaring towards the roof of the car.

Ji You also took this opportunity to draw the bow again. As his arms exerted force, the bowstring was quickly pulled to its full length, making a "creaking" sound of tension. Then his fingers suddenly loosened and the bow flew out.

The arrow, carrying tremendous force, was like a black lightning, and it directly hit the iron knife of one of them.

In other words, he was aiming at the opponent's heart.

Because the heart of the barbarian is the weakest part, while the arms and skull are the hardest, which can be verified with a hammer.

But even though he shot at the heart, he was unable to stop the opponent from swinging his sword in defense, so the arrow directly pierced the barbarian's sword, sending sparks flying.

What frightened the barbarian was that the heavy energy carried by the arrow directly prevented him from jumping up and directly knocked him flying out.

At this time, the spiritual energy under Ji You's feet surged, and he flew back in the air, putting some distance between him and the remaining one. Amid the clashing of iron weapons, seven swords floated in the air and chopped down fiercely.

A shattering sound was heard instantly, the iron knife was broken, and the barbarian at the upper soldier level was directly cut in the heart, and flew out with blood gushing out of the mouth and nose.

This is the sharpest sword among the four swords of the Lingjian Mountain Sword Master [Liu Se Xin].

Then Ji You picked up a magic sword and placed it on the bowstring. He tightened the bowstring, infused the fierce sword energy into the arrow, and suddenly released the bowstring towards the upper soldier realm that had been shot away before.

From the two swords whistling up to the blood of the two barbarians spilling in the air, everything happened unexpectedly and beyond cognition.

At this moment, Jiang Chenfeng could not help but be stunned, and there was a gleam of disbelief in Jiang Yuerou's eyes, and more shocked gazes all gathered at this moment.

No one would have thought that the combination of two barbarians at the upper soldier level would lead to such an easy defeat.

"Didn't he face a Upper Soldier Realm and was in such a state of embarrassment when he narrowly defeated him? Now there are two of them, how could he..."

"Because using a sword is always better than using bare hands."

Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai spoke softly in the night, and their voices were dissipated into the whistling wind.

An inch longer is an inch stronger, especially since humans are much weaker than barbarians, the importance of weapons is self-evident.

But no one knew why such an irrelevant answer came out, but before they could think about it, they heard a whisper in the wind again.

"One day, we checked the bodies you brought back... The one who died at Ji You's hands was very strange. He had no sword wounds, and his chest was completely collapsed, with only a complete fist mark inside..."

"The marks of finger bones in the fist hole are extremely clear. It should be that the heart was blasted, causing blood to flow back and overflow from the eyes, ears, mouth and nose."

"?"

"So the reason why he was in such a mess before was that he never drew his sword, but beat them to death with his fists. But now, he drew his sword."

Whispers fell in the wind, and Jiang Chenfeng and others' faces changed slightly.

Just flesh.

At first it seemed that it was only the body that had barely won.

And now, he began to draw his sword.

Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai were still staring at the figure in a daze. Although they were prepared, they could not hide their amazement at the moment.

There are many factors that make the body strong...

For example, some elixirs, or some magical weapons.

Without seeing the actual scene, only seeing the fist marks on the body, no one can make a judgment.

In fact, after first noticing the corpse brought back by Ji You, Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai discussed it for a long time, constantly analyzing why Ji You had been fighting hand-to-hand with the barbarians.

No one knows the most reasonable reason. In fact, Ji You's sword is not as strong as his fist. During the battle, he might have accidentally been knocked off his sword by the barbarians, so he had no choice but to engage in hand-to-hand combat...

This speculation does have some loopholes, as the sword cannot always be knocked down, but overall this is indeed the most reasonable one.

But it was not until they saw the sword energy rising into the sky that they realized that Ji You's sword was even stronger than his physical body.

Immortal cultivators have amazing hearing and vision. Ji You also heard the whisper in the wind at this time and couldn't help but turn around to look.

These people were not like him who needed to search through money bags, and he really didn't expect that anyone would check the bodies of the barbarians he had killed.

While he was thinking, two more figures came rushing towards him. Ji You turned around and summoned another sword. The sword energy rushed straight into the sky, illuminating all directions, and pressed down with a bang.

"That is the sword of Elder Qi from Lingjian Mountain. Senior Brother Gongshu said that when I was in seclusion, Ji You went to break through the sword forest of Tianjian Peak and then learned how to use the sword."

"But I didn't know it would be so strong..."

"Elder Qi is the type who sits in the mountains and never goes out, just like us who have been in seclusion for several years. Except when he was young, no one has ever seen him use his full strength, and Jian Lin's sword energy has also been weakened, but... he is really strong."

Under the night sky, Yan Qiubai couldn't help but murmur.

And on the carriage in front, Elder Ge from Tianshu Academy couldn't help but look up and stared at the figure for a long time.

Although he was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs, he had actually heard quite a few rumors about Ji You.

He knew that there were countless disciples and elders in the academy, but few liked him.

Before leaving, people from Changsheng Palace and Buchen Palace sent gifts to him, asking him to pay attention to the safety of Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan.

Only this season of worry has never been cared for by anyone.

Elder Ge even received secret messages from several major families related to him, hoping that he would die abroad.

Killing, beheading, ignoring the rules.

What he did in Fengzhou was absolutely ruthless.

But putting all that aside, this kind of person seems to be an admirable disciple no matter which immortal sect he is placed in. If he was born in a thousand-year-old family, his future would probably have been bet on by a big shot long ago.

“Nice sword!”

"You are truly worthy of me!"

At this time, Ji You continued to stand at the front of the car, with countless cheers of "You are worthy of it" in his ears.

I have to say, Gongshu Chou has something in terms of giving emotional value...

He fought off the barbarians who were attacking the roof of the car, and now he bent his bow and drew his arrow again. However, before he could draw the bow to the full length, he felt a strong sense of crisis, so his mind instantly expanded outward.

The scary thing was that he couldn't even catch what it was at the moment.

At this moment, with a "puff" sound, Tu Xu, who was killing the barbarians at the upper soldier level with his sword, suddenly stopped and was pierced through the left shoulder by an extremely fast arrow, and the whole person flew sideways.

The first one to react was the elder of the Wendao Sect. He stood up in horror, rushed into the darkness, picked up the injured Tu Xu in the raging wind, and turned to look to the southeast.

At this moment, eight figures came from the distant sky, all of them looked like strong and sturdy warriors, with hot and swaying energy all over their bodies.

The man in the middle had already drawn his bow again, indifferently pulled the bowstring to its full extent, raised his hand, and suddenly shot towards the figure on the roof of the car.

This arrow was something that the spiritual consciousness of a person in the Rong Dao realm could not capture at all. Only the six elders could see that the ferocious murderous intent was flying towards Ji You with an unstoppable momentum.

Silently! Extremely fast! Elder Ge opened his eyes in shock, but did not make any move to help. Then he was ready to meet the enemy with full force.

Just as he said before, the biggest difference between Ji You and other geniuses was not that his realm was lower, but that he had no one to protect him on this trip.

But at this moment, a strong wind blew above the chariot, and an even more powerful sword energy swayed up into the sky.

Suddenly, the sword rang, and the elder Yan Chuan of Lingjian Mountain instantly appeared on the roof of the carriage. With lightning speed, he snatched the arrow that had flown in front of him with his bare hands.

Yan Chuan is very tall. Although his hair is gray, he is energetic and his posture is straight, without any sign of hunchback.

But for some reason, at this moment, he was standing on Ji You's left side holding the arrow, but he seemed to be slightly bowed.

At this moment, everyone around was stunned.
