Chapter Ninety-Nine: Night Attack
It was already late at night, and the entire Fuguang Town was quiet, but the two entrances and exits of the town were guarded by a mid-innate disciple from the Qiankun Sect.
"Ahh ”
He sat on the wooden watchtower, his eyes were a little foggy, under normal circumstances, the disciples of the night vigil have nothing to do, nothing major will happen in a town like this with the protection of the sect, their usual most is which one has a theft or fire, they have to find out and deal with it in time.
"It would be nice to have a pot of soju. ”
While he was still imagining the delicious food and wine, suddenly a scream swept through the air, and a spark bloomed at the gate of Floating Light Town, followed by the noise of many horses and horses from a distance, and dozens of bows and arrows shot from a distance.
"Oops! Horse bandits attack at night!" the disciple reacted and turned to inform the others, but he had already been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and a lot of blood came out of the wound on the arrow at once.
He endured the pain and jumped off the watchtower, took out a signal flare from the space bag, and lit it directly, the signal flare turned into a cloud of red smoke in the air, and the whole town was lit up all of a sudden, but he suddenly felt that his eyelids were weak, and he only said "poisonous", and fainted on the edge of the watchtower.
Fuguang Inn, Tianzi No. 1 Wing.
Chen Xuanqi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and cultivating, had not fallen asleep, and an explosion pulled him back from his cultivation state to reality, he slowly calmed down the spiritual power that was running Zhou Tian, and opened the window to see a trace of red smoke still remaining in the air.
There was also a lot of noise outside the inn, it sounded particularly chaotic, and he just wanted to go out to see what the situation was, but a shopkeeper had already hurriedly opened the door and rushed in.
"Guest, there's a horse bandit coming out there to break into the town, so hurry up and pack your things and be careful of getting hurt. The shopkeeper said breathlessly.
"Horse bandits, isn't this town protected by the people of the Qiankun Sect, and the horse bandits dare to come and loot, not send them to death?" asked Chen Xuanqi.
The shopkeeper patted his chest before he took a breath and said, "There are also immortals in this group of horse bandits, and the immortals of the Qiankun Sect are too far away from here, and the immortals in the town have already fought with the horse bandits." ”
Chen Xuanqi was interested at this time, he didn't expect that there would be horse bandits to trouble the town protected by the sect, you must know that even if the Qiankun Sect is only a third-rate sect, their sect master also has the early stage of cultivation.
"Hurry up and find a place to hide, I'll go and see what this group of bandits is all about. Chen Xuanqi dropped such a sentence, and then walked straight out of the door, leaving the stunned shopkeeper.
Chen Xuanqi walked out of the inn alone, even if Zhao Long's strength was called, it was useless, although he felt that the horse bandits were just a group of rabble, but they should not be so stupid as to dare to come to the town to loot when they were all cultivating in the bone quenching period.
Many mortals on the street who had not cultivated began to run from the west of Fuguang Town to the east gate of the town, for them survival was the most important thing, if the disciples of the Qiankun Sect were defeated, they would at most have their belongings robbed.
"It looks like we're coming from the west, right in the direction we're going. ”
The original route of the Kong family's convoy was also to leave the west of the town tomorrow, so the horse bandits' plan made them encounter possible dangers in advance.
Chen Xuanqi quickened his pace, and when he walked to a street near the west gate of the town, several people in uniform suddenly appeared from the other direction of the town and rushed to the west gate of the town.
They were led by a thin man, and when he passed by Chen Xuanqi, he also deliberately glanced at Chen Xuanqi, and after feeling the spiritual power fluctuations on Chen Xuanqi's body, he rushed to the west gate without looking back.
Chen Xuanqi saw that the clothes of that group of people were embroidered with the word "Yuan", they should be the subordinates of the big families in this town, and the four of them all had fluctuations in spiritual power, and they were all monks above the congenital stage.
He jumped to the roof of a nearby house and followed the tiles to the west gate of the town, and the closer he got to the louder the fighting, and it sounded like there were quite a few people fighting on both sides.
"Yuan Zifeng of the Yuan family came to help!"
After the five people who had just passed by Chen Xuanqi rushed to the battlefield, they immediately joined the battle under the order of the thin man in the lead. The thin man who claimed to be Yuan Zifeng took out a staff made of wood and swung it at the horse bandit in front of him, shooting two spiritual arrows from the tip of the staff.
Chen Xuanqi stood on the roof of the house and watched the battle outside, there were more than a dozen horse bandits attacking this time, and there were only six disciples of the Qiankun Sect stationed in Fuguang Town, and the disciple who had just been injured had to be removed. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Yuan family's monks, it is estimated that the five disciples who fought against the horse bandits would not have lasted long.
The horse bandits on the opposite side were all dressed in uniform attire, not only were they all wearing black night coats and black veils, but the horses they were riding were also wearing black cloaks, and it seemed that this attack was prepared.
"Yuan family, we haven't looked for you yet, so you sent it to the door. A horse bandit blocked the weapon of a Qiankun Sect disciple with force, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Zifeng, his fingers reached into his mouth, and he let out a piercing whistle, and there was no movement standing behind him, and the five horse bandits took the wooden bow that shot the arrow from behind him.
Yuan Zifeng heard the voice of the horse bandit, and the movements in his hands paused, he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
I saw that the horse bandits with bows and arrows in the back row took out an arrow tied to a black thing from the space bag, injected spiritual power into their hands, and shot directly at the monks who rushed to support the Yuan family.
"Rock stinger bees, everyone be careful!" Yuan Zifeng recognized what was tied to the arrow, and suddenly shouted loudly, but the arrow had already shot into the crowd, and although they all dodged the attack, the real danger had just begun.
After the arrow fell to the ground, the thin black wrapping on the arrow shattered like an eggshell, and there was a "buzzing" sound from the inside, and then one after another gray bee insects flew out of it, with long tail pins at the end, and stabbed the nearest monk fiercely.
The disciples of the Qiankun Sect who had fought with the horse bandits in front of him all retreated temporarily, and the one with the highest cultivation was called Li Kun, and when he saw the rock stinging bees flying around, he looked at the leader of the horse bandits who was watching not far away, and said, "Who are you? How can ordinary horse bandits capture such a low-level spirit beast that lives in a group as a weapon, you must have been sent by which sect!"
The face of the leader of the horse bandits under the veil showed a smile and said, "If you are willing to retreat, I will also consider sparing your life and giving up the Yuan family's mansion to us, and we will naturally retreat when we get what we want." ”
As a disciple of the Qiankun Sect, Li Kun naturally knew the relationship between the Yuan family and the Qiankun Sect, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, a rock stinger bee that wanted to sneak up from behind him was split in half, and he said, "Then you can step over my corpse." ”
"Hmph, toast without eating and drinking. ”
Seeing that Li Kun was still resisting stubbornly, the leader of the horse bandits no longer kept his hand, and with a wave of his big hand, the horse bandits behind him rushed forward with him.
"It's not going to work like this, it looks like the people of Floating Light are going to lose. Chen Xuanqi watched from the rooftop, his current soul power was limited by Chen Xuanqi's body, and he couldn't hear what the people over there were talking about.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot from outside the town, head-on towards Chen Xuanqi, Chen Xuanqi's figure flashed, dodging the attack, he looked in the direction where the bow and arrow came, it turned out that a horse bandit found Chen Xuanqi hiding on the roof, and immediately pulled the bow and arrow.
Chen Xuanqi jumped hard from the edge of the roof, directly climbed over the wall of the town with his strength, and landed steadily outside the town, whether it was the monks of Fuguang Town or the attacking horse bandits, they were all attracted by Chen Xuanqi's sudden appearance, Yuan Zifeng, who had a relationship with Chen Xuanqi just now, also saw his face, and said in surprise: "Why did you come out?"
Li Kun, who was fighting with the leader of the horse bandits, saw that Yuan Zifeng seemed to know this monk who suddenly appeared, and forced the horse bandits back with a big knife in his hand, and asked, "Who is this brother?"
"I don't know, I saw him on the street just now, I thought he was a passing monk, and the spiritual power fluctuations on his body seemed to be just a monk in the early stage of the congenital stage. Yuan Zifeng said loudly.
"I dare to come out in the early stage of congenital and look for death. The leader of the horse bandits glanced at a late congenital horse bandit, and the horse bandit immediately abandoned his original battle object and went straight to Chen Xuanqi.
Chen Xuanqi saw that he had become a soft persimmon in the eyes of the horse bandit, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, a trace of purple light flashed in his left eye, and a thunder slashing knife appeared in the air a few steps away from the horse bandit in an instant, and with a "whoosh" sound, it slashed through the air and passed through the chest of the horse bandit.
"What!"
The men and horses on both sides were shocked when they saw that the bandit did not even let out a wail, and became a corpse. The leader of the horse bandits looked at Chen Xuanqi in disbelief, and after he had just finished giving the order, he returned his attention to Li Kun, not even noticing how Chen Xuanqi had killed his men.
"What is that purple sword light?" Yuan Zifeng saw everything that happened just now, the special form of the Thunder Slashing Knife made him not recognize it as thunder spiritual power at all, even the spiritual power arrow he shot from the yellow-rank mid-grade staff in his hand could not kill the monks in the late congenital stage with one blow, but Chen Xuanqi easily did it.
