Chapter 220: Bows and Arrows
Xiao He saw Ji Yan holding a bow and arrow, so he said:
"If it's a test shooting technique, with the body and bones of His Second Highness, I'm afraid he won't be able to win..."
Ji Yan seemed to know that Xiao He would say this, and he laughed:
"Of course I know I can't beat you... So the one who competes with you is the general Zhu Potian... And it's not just about archery..."
Throwing the longbow in his hand into the lawn of the martial arts arena, Ji Yan took a breath, obviously using all his strength for this throw.
When the longbow rolled on the lawn for a while and lay quietly in the distance, Ji Yan threw the arrow in his hand dozens of feet away from the longbow, and the tip of the arrow sank straight into the grass, and the handle of the arrow was still trembling slightly.
"Your Highness, do you want me to compete with this kid to 'fight'?..." Zhu Potian was a little surprised.
"Not bad... Breaking the sky, you used to be in the barracks, I'm afraid you're a little tired of playing this kind of game, right?... But Brother Xiao definitely doesn't know the rules, you come and tell him about it, and then let him decide whether to fight or not..."
Zhu Potian understood what Ji Yan meant, showed joy, and at the same time faced Xiao He:
"The so-called 'scramble' is the placement of a bow and an arrow in two places, and two or more people fight for it. Only those who have both a bow and an arrow can shoot at the target... The shooter must be 100 paces away from the target, and he must hit the heart to win..."
Xiao He nodded slightly, although this game sounds simple, it is actually difficult.
Because the bow and arrow are not in the same place, there is a good chance that each person will have an object, and the remaining bow or arrow must be captured from the opponent in order to shoot the target.
Even if you have the opportunity to shoot at the target, the opponent will definitely interfere with you, so you must shoot the target the moment you get rid of the opponent.
When disturbed, the chance of hitting a heart is greatly reduced.
"Although 'scrambling' can only be regarded as a game in the barracks, it can greatly exercise people's reflexes, endurance and concentration, and is an excellent training method... How's it going, boy, do you want to play?"
Zhu Potian rubbed his hands and showed a provocative look to Xiao He.
"Big stick mallet, looking at the way he is holding the chance to win, I'm afraid he knows this game very thoroughly... You don't want to respond to him lightly..."Luo Fanchen expressed her doubts to Xiao He through a secret voice.
Xiao He looked at Luo Fanchen and smiled slightly, and he seemed a little excited.
"Oops... The recklessness of this big mallet has come up again..."Luo Fanchen saw his appearance, and his heart tightened.
Sure enough, Xiao He raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Potian, "Interesting... I'm done!"
Luo Fanchen sighed, but she couldn't help but secretly cheer for Xiao He in her heart, as long as she won this Zhu Potian, she would be able to take the initiative in terms of momentum.
"Haha... Since Brother Xiao has responded, then let's start immediately..."Ji Yan looked at Wu Zijiu, "Master Wu, how about you to be a judge?"
Wu Zizi stepped forward and bowed, "Wu is reluctant to make a judgment..."
Both sides agreed, and the contest began immediately. Zhu Potian took off his heavy armor and did warm-up activities, preparing to travel lightly.
On Xiao He's side, he didn't make any special moves, just stretched his waist greatly.
"Second Highness, in order to confirm the rules again, would you like to explain it to everyone again?" Xiao He asked.
"Hehe... Okay, I know what you mean, so I'll confirm it again in front of so many people..."
Ji Yan repeated the rules of the competition, almost the same as Zhu Potian.
"Big mallet, how sure are you that you can beat him?..." Luo Fanchen asked quietly.
Xiao He scratched his head, "It may only be one percent, but it can also be ninety percent..."
Luo Fanchen was speechless, what "one percent, ninety percent", this shows that Xiao He has no score in his heart.
However, thinking that this big mallet has always been like this, and he will not look forward and backward, Luo Fanchen was relieved.
Wu Zishi saw that both sides were ready, so he came up and said:
"Two, when you're ready, you can stand on the white line outside the field, and you can only enter the field when I shout to start... Also, there is a red line a hundred paces away from the target, and you can shoot arrows there..."
Xiao He and Zhu Potian nodded at the same time, and walked side by side outside the white line outside the field.
Luo Fanchen looked at Xiao He, and felt a little nervous in his heart, this battle is very crucial, it is related to the life and death of Lord Guo, and he can't be sloppy.
But Ji Yan sat quietly on the chair next to him, he squinted at the two of them, not knowing what was in his heart.
Seeing that the two of them were ready, Wu Zishi paused and shouted:
"Let's go!"
As soon as Xiao He heard the signal, he rushed out, and the strength of his body flowed as he wanted, but it was much faster than Zhu Potian.
Zhu Potian saw Xiao He's amazing speed, and instantly rushed ten steps away, his eyes widened, and he also raised his strength and rushed out.
Zhu Potian is in the late stage of Wuzun, although the reaction of the strength is a little slower than Xiao He, but the strength of the strength is much stronger than it, and he followed in an instant, less than a foot away from Xiao He.
Xiao He felt the heat behind him getting hotter and hotter, and knew that Zhu Potian had already reacted, and he quickly replenished his strength to the muscles of his whole body, and a trace of white mist rose all over his body.
"Collapse!"
Xiao He rushed with the strength of his feet, blasted a hole, and flew the turf and dirt he brought back to the rear, and at the same time, his body shot forward for some distance with the help of this recoil.
The turf and dirt happened to fall on Zhu Potian behind him, slowing down his momentum.
"Hmph, you still want to win me with this little trick?"
Zhu Potian's mind moved, and the Yuan Shen urged the sea of qi, which made the speed of Neidan turn into strength several times faster, and at the same time, fire erupted from his whole body, causing ripples in the surroundings, and with the explosive power of the flames, Zhu Potian flashed to Xiao He's side.
Xiao He and Zhu Potian's goal is the same, that is, an arrow inserted in the distance!
Although both the bow and the arrow are indispensable, the bow is not only larger than the arrow, but also much heavier, and if you hold it, it will inevitably cause trouble.
And getting the arrow first can not only take advantage of the weight, but also use the arrow as a weapon to put pressure on the opponent.
Although Xiao He and Zhu Potian went hand in hand, and did a speed contest, in the eyes of ordinary people, this was less than a breath of time.
Except for Luo Fanchen, Ji Yan and Wu Zizheng didn't see what happened in the field just now, only saw two phantoms, one white and one red, flashing past.
"Xiao He's speed is equal to Zhu Potian's, it seems that the battle for that arrow has to rely on the depth of his skills..."
Luo Fanchen frowned slightly, she understood very well that Xiao He was only in the late stage of martial arts now, and the Yuan Shen was not finished, and compared with Zhu Potian, who had experienced a hundred battles, it was still a big difference.
Xiao He and Zhu Potian arrived at the foothold of the arrow together, and the arrow was in front of them, and it was reachable at their tentacles.
Because the body of the arrow was wooden, the two of them did not release fire-based mana, so as not to hurt it. Xiao He made a preemptive move, drummed his strength, and used a "grappling hand" to pull out the arrow body.
Seeing that he was about to touch the arrow feather, Xiao He was overjoyed, but then a strong force exploded on his side, but it was Zhu Potian who hit Xiao He with his broad arms.
Xiao He reacted very quickly, twisted his body, and rushed out a large section of the move that was about to touch the arrow feather, which happened to block in front of Zhu Potian, and at the same time, his left foot was inserted into the soil to stabilize his body.
"Bang!"
Xiao He's "grappler" turned his move into a block, and collided firmly with Zhu Potian's shoulder.
The fluctuation of strength squeezed the air between the two of them into a "horn", Xiao He blocked the blow, but the sea of qi was churning.
"Huh?!Little martial artist, you can actually block my blow, you are already amazing..."
Zhu Potian showed a hint of appreciation, ready to continue to break Xiao He's defense.
Xiao He knew that Zhu Potian's skills were profound, and if he was tough, although he could fight, he would have to pay a great price, so he took advantage of Zhu Potian's merits to unexpectedly raise his right foot and kick Zhu Potian's arms.
Zhu Potian didn't care, and he was confident that he could take this kick with the strength of his body.
Xiao He didn't mean to fight him in the first place, this kick didn't use pure yang power, it was just pure power.
Feeling the recoil of Zhu Potian's body, Xiao He was overjoyed, and this kick bounced him straight out and shot at the arrow body.
Pulling out the body of the arrow inserted in the soil, Xiao He continued to fly forward without abating.
"They put me along... You're good, but then I'm going to get serious..."
Zhu Potian saw that Xiao He had taken away the arrow, but he did not panic at all, and a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes.
