Chapter 24: The Eighteenth Blade
The sound of the bowstring tightening in his ears had already caused these brocade guards to take root under their feet, and they stood in place, not daring to take a step forward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They practice the hand-to-body sword technique, and as the name suggests, they must be close to the human body in order to exert their power.
But now, the formation in front of them is not to mention that they are close, and they are afraid that if they take a step forward, they will attract that raindrop-like blow.
And, although they had firecrackers with them, they didn't have time to light them.
At this moment, Li Rongji's loud voice sounded in the villa.
"Why is Lord Huang so Yaxing today, come to my Divine Arrow Villa?"
When he speaks, he doesn't smile.
In the words, there is a sense of irony.
Seeing this, Huang Quan also smiled easily.
"Master Li, I just want to borrow the magic archery skills in the village. Why did the owner put on such a posture? ”。
It's just that although he is smiling and talking, who can't see the coldness at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmph, that's nonsense. Huang Quan, you were also the number one person in the rivers and lakes back then. I didn't expect that now, you will actually take refuge in the imperial court and reflexively deal with us and others!! ”。 The deputy owner beside Li Rongji scolded angrily.
Huang Quan paused, raised his eyes, looked at the other party, and said coldly.
"Then it seems that the Divine Arrow Villa is bent on making enemies of the court and the world today?"
Li Rongji saw that the other party actually put such a hat on the villa, so he shook his head and said with a smile.
"Lord Huang, the Divine Arrow Villa has no intention of being an enemy of the imperial court, and just wants to live in peace. It's just that the sword has no eyes, and I hope Huang Daren will forgive me."
Huang Quan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, it's good."
As he spoke, he swept his cold gaze towards all the bow-bearers in the courtyard.
Then, I saw him shake his hand angrily and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Then, in the eyes of the crowd, he turned and walked towards the heavy wooden door.
Seeing that Huang Quan was frightened away, the two deputy owners immediately looked at Li Rongji happily.
It's just that, compared with them, Li Rongji's eyes still have a deep uneasiness. Moreover, his left hand had already grasped the Xuantie Divine Bow tightly, and he hadn't let go for a long time.
….
Huang Quan had already turned his back to the sharpshooters.
But at this moment, I saw the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a sinister and confident smile.
Then, he suddenly picked up his true qi, and quickly pulled out a yellow-green embroidered spring knife with a blade on his left waist, and slashed at the ground in the distance without looking back.
That's right, his knife was not slashed at the rows of archers in the distance, but on the bluestone ground not far away.
And when this slash passed, I saw an arc-shaped yellow-green knife light rushing into the ground.
Lee Young-gi yelled "not good".
Although he had been prepared, he didn't expect Huang Quan to use this trick so insidiously.
I saw that after the knife light entered the ground, it directly smashed and overturned the bluestone slab on the ground.
Suddenly, countless dust, broken bluestones, and streams of cold cold flakes. It was smashing into the sharpshooters in the array.
"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow"
After the two deputy owners saw this, they reflected from the luck.
It's just that although the archers released their arrows in response, they don't know if this round of arrows will be able to exert their due combat power.
The arrows and feathers of Qi brushed into the dust flying in the sky.
And the sound of the arrow crushing the bluestone 'ding' is also from this villa, constantly sounding.
At this moment, all the brocade guards behind the dust were already prepared.
As early as when Huang Quan took out the knife, they had already put the bamboo shield on their backs and held it in their hands to protect the vital points of their bodies.
The dust filled the sky, blocking the sight of the archers and greatly reducing the accuracy of the arrows.
In addition, there are scattered bluestone flakes blocking it, and the power of the arrow rain that is coming now has been greatly reduced.
After a round of arrows, there were unfortunately more than 20 brothers in the brocade guard, injured, or to the end.
And at this moment, the dust in the sky will be gone.
However, just as the archers in the array were ready to release their arrows again.
But they saw that black figures were rushing out of the dust and rushing towards them with murderous energy.
Where the dust had risen, it was only thirty paces away from the archers.
However, they had been practicing archery for many years, and they were sure that they could shoot most of them before the Jinyi Guard came.
This is not contempt for the other party, but out of confidence in the self-cultivation of the Nian archery technique.
Those who practice archery are different from other practitioners.
Because every one of them firmly believes that archery is the first martial art in the world.
Moreover, throughout the millennium, the archers who have been recorded in every dynasty and generation, without exception, are all people who can influence the situation of the battle with their own strength.
And the two hundred sharpshooters who had just entered the martial realm also all had this kind of belief.
It's just that when they are young, they don't know that there are not many people who can be called archers in this world.
And just as the archers wanted to release their arrows, all the brocade guards had already rushed out of the dust.
But at this moment, those bamboo shields had already been discarded in their hands, and they had a black fire gun in their hands.
"It's ..... firebolt." When he saw that the brocade guards were holding fire guns in their hands, Li Rongji's heart felt a sense of unease.
He really didn't expect that the imperial court would use the magic machine gun technique to humiliate him Divine Arrow Villa.
And when all the archers in the array saw that the imperial eagle dogs were holding Western things in their hands, the anger that had already permeated their hearts was ignited at this moment.
In fact, although they were also angry before, they were more helpless and angry.
But now, when these Western things appear in front of them, this inspires all the fighting spirit of the archers.
Because from this moment on, this battle is no longer a battle to defend the villa, but a battle of faith.
They regard archery as their lifelong pursuit, and they are bound to let the world know how the method of guns and guns can be the opponent of archery.
And in an instant, the archers had already shot the arrows in their hands.
The swarthy arrow feathers were once again like heavy rain pouring down, and they all shot at the oncoming brocade guards.
At the same time, the brocade guards also sounded the fire in their hands.
The flames followed the lead into the black pipe, and suddenly burst into a loud sound.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang".
Smoke rises and a sound kicks in.
Immediately afterward, some of the arrows intersected with the ammunition in the air, making a clanging sound.
But more of the arrow feathers shot into the bodies of the brocade guards, splashing patches of blood.
Compared with the casualties of the brocade guards, the archers in the array also suffered heavy casualties.
The method of guns and cannons, especially this firebolt, although it could not hurt a powerful cultivator, it was undoubtedly fatal to the two hundred archers in the array.
I saw that the ammunition that was sprayed out of the formation 'bang' into the crowd of people in the array, and it took away the lives one by one.
……..
After a round of shooting on both sides, the guards in the front row of the Jinyi Guard had all fallen. Each of them had several arrow feathers stuck in their bodies, and even worse, their faces had been shot into thorn balls, and the miserable state was indescribable.
But it is precisely because of the sacrifices of these people that the remaining brocade guards have won precious time.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was shortened from the original thirty paces to ten paces.
And these ten steps are enough for the Jinyi guard with a long knife in hand.
"Don't mess around, shoot again. We can win".
Seeing that the archers were stunned, the deputy owner immediately rushed forward, and opened his bow as he spoke.
The bow in his hand was a secret horn bow.
The arrows on his bow were also a little thicker than ordinary arrows.
And every time he drew his bow and released his arrows, one of the brocade guards would fall to the ground and die.
In fact, the situation at this time is indeed as he said.
Although the archers suffered casualties, they still had the upper hand in numbers. If only let them shoot one more round. The brocade guards had no chance of winning.
However, the Jinyi guards present were also masters who had entered the martial arts realm.
In addition, the distance between the two sides is less than ten steps, so how can these murderous brocade guards give each other a chance to shoot arrows again.
At the same time, just as the deputy owner wanted to raise his bow and draw arrows again, he saw a sudden sword light in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a brocade guard with long hair and a shawl came to slash with a knife with a playful sense of abuse on the front.
"The deputy owner should worry about himself first."
As he went, the breeze floated on his cuffs, and the word 'eighteen' on the cuffs was buzzing.
And he is the eighteenth blade of the eighteen blades of the brocade.
