Chapter 63: Sea of Arrows
The sound of the horses approached, and suddenly appeared out of the dark night.
Black Armor Rider!
Although Lu Beichen was wearing a bamboo basket, he could still see the momentum of this characteristic cavalry team from the gaps. He didn't know anything about the saints, and he didn't know anything new about what had happened in recent years, but he had read all the stories about the Twelve Nightcrawlers and the Eighty Elite Riders from books.
Now, on the first day of entering the Holy Capital, he witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Although this is not a good thing, the excitement in my heart is spontaneous.
Indeed, the Black Armor Elite Riders and the Twelve Nightcrawlers, these elite organizations that have been seen in books, can actually be seen tonight. And the confrontation between the two teams of humans and demons is really difficult for ordinary people to see. Especially for a person like Lu Beichen who has no cultivation, how could anyone be willing to risk his life to see the battle in such a quiet and dark night?
But Lu Beichen didn't think so.
After all, this is the territory of the Holy Capital, and there are also the Black Armor Elite Cavalry of the Holy Emperor and hundreds of guards, even if the Twelve Nightcrawlers come here, after all, they are weak.
Of course, things are never as simple as a teenager thinks.
At this time, some arrows came out of nowhere, like a sudden rain, densely falling into the world.
Ron!bang!boom!
The black-armored warrior sitting on the elite horse must have experienced a lot of such arrow rain. The black armor on their bodies is connected to flesh and blood, and a hundred knives will not invade, so they will naturally not be shocked by these arrows.
But not necessarily the guards. Although they are the guards of the elite of the Holy Capital, they are only guards who protect the city after all, and they are often caught off guard when faced with powerful sudden damage.
"Stand on the shield!"
The pop sounded muffled!
Caught off guard, many guards fell in response to the arrows. But fortunately, the support guard just now was holding a shield, so a protective line composed of shields was formed in an instant.
The feather arrows pierced into the hard wooden shield, and the hard objects pierced the hard objects, which made it uncomfortable to listen to, and the sounds of those piercing people still appeared densely and repeatedly.
Lu Beichen looked a little chilled, thinking to himself why he came here! Why did he put himself in a dangerous place!
Shout!
A feathered arrow brushed against the bamboo basket.
Just a little bit!
It's almost just a finger's throw away!
The feather arrow that came from nowhere and then suddenly appeared could ask for Lu Beichen's eyes.
The bamboo silk on the bamboo basket seemed to be rubbed out by the straight arrow, which inevitably left a shallow mark on his face, and some marks appeared in an instant.
Lu Beichen was shocked and sweated, but had to maintain a quiet posture.
The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, the sound of shields blocking arrows, the sound of elite horses, the shouts of people, and all kinds of sounds are mixed together, making this originally silent and eerily night sky suddenly lively and thrilling.
Taking advantage of the rainstorm of crossbow arrows, the Twelve Nightcrawlers began to attack the knight.
The Nightkin is so strange that it has no rules to follow. In this way, when they are confusing, it is when the person falls into a trap.
Those black-armored elite riders are naturally not vegetarians, and they also have extremely high combat and defensive power. Looking at the situation, once they can't receive the Nightkkin's move, they will dodge on their own, using their powerful group soul power to kill and delay time with these Nightkin
But the key thing is that those guards who are fighting with those crossbow arrows simply don't have the extra energy to assist the black armor spirit cavalry, which naturally puts the battle into an embarrassing situation.
There will always be one or two of the dense angry arrows that pass through the gaps between the shields and take the lives of the guards. From time to time, some of the guards fell, and crossbow arrows entered their chests and abdomen, and the arrows cut their throats, and blood sprayed from the guards' bodies, drenching the ground.
But wars never stop at the cost of life, and there are always people who continue to shoulder their mission while the previous group has fallen.
These guards are all elite guards who followed the Holy Emperor to fight the country back then, and what is more awe-inspiring than their realm and strength is their courage to fight to the end, as well as the trust and tacit understanding between the team.
When the rain of arrows came from the depths of the night, they quickly formed a circular defensive formation, silently hiding behind the shield, and when the guards in the front row had to die, the people in the back row would tacitly come forward and assume their responsibilities.
......
......
Lu Beichen looked through the crack in the bamboo and inadvertently saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow on the other side of the roof, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or a reality.
But the arrows allowed him to confirm the existence of the shadow.
"On the roof!" Lu Beichen suddenly shouted.
Is this the rhythm of death?
Even Lu Beichen himself couldn't understand why he risked his life to shout.
He was originally just a teenager in a mountain village, and although he had seen too many such battle stories in books, he had only seen them in books after all. Now that he can witness the power of the Black-Armored Thriller and the Twelve Nightcrawlers in his lifetime, his heart is not only nervous and uneasy, but also mixed with excitement and even anticipation.
I don't know if it's because he was too excited, or because he really can't get used to this group of people who can only defend and not attack, so he unconsciously uncovered the bamboo basket.
In fact, as long as someone could have injured the hand of the person on the roof, things would not have fallen into such a rigid situation. And it seems that the group of people who are fighting have not thought about this at all.
But Lu Beichen thought of it, he thought of the key, but he had already put himself in the most dangerous position.
The guards fighting in the distance heard the shout, and the archer on the roof also heard it, and easily judged its location from the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, eight crossbow arrows shot like lightning through the flowers and leaves falling in the night sky, easily skimming the air, leaving no trace.
Lu Beichen, who was still hiding in the bamboo basket one moment, was afraid that the next moment, he would become a lonely soul under this arrow.
What do people think before they die? What does Master think when he uses his life to block Qiqi in order to protect the mountain people of Sun Moon Mountain?
At that critical moment, his mind was almost blank, and all that was left was to ask himself.
It's not the first time he's faced with the question of life and death, it's just that tonight is closer to death than the day he met Qiqi. After all, his opponent is no longer himself, but the cruel and cunning demons.
Lu Beichen thought in his heart, and naturally put his hand on the scabbard behind him.
He wanted to draw his sword and fight, but the speed of drawing his sword could not be compared to the speed of the arrow.
In these sea of arrows, he didn't even have time to dodge, let alone defend himself, but his first reaction was to grab the Sun and Moon Sword.
He doesn't want to die, he wants to live well.
Even if it's a futile struggle, try hard!
At the last moment, a miracle happened!
Shout!
The crisp sound of the arrow suddenly became dull, as if it had changed its trajectory, cut through the night sky, and seemed to be blocked by something.
Lu Beichen subconsciously opened his eyes, and saw a sword light piercing through the air, suddenly appearing in front of his eyes, and then with an unimaginable speed and power, he blocked the arrow from afar.
Looking into the distance, the black shadow standing on the roof was gone, like a ghost that suddenly appeared and then disappeared. The guards who were still fighting fell into a daze because of the sudden disappearance of the rain of arrows.
And the Twelve Nightcrawlers, like machines, still pestered the soldiers on the elite horse, and did not leave.
"Who saved me?" Lu Beichen had no time to look into the distance, looked around, and found that no one appeared, not even an animal.
Just a sword light can block those eight imposing bows and arrows?
The sword qi is more aggressive than the real sword, who has such a powerful sword qi?
......
Lu Beichen was surprised, but he didn't realize that the danger he was facing was not over.
This is a quiet place in the middle of the downtown area of the Holy City, and the towering ancient trees are especially luxuriant. At this moment, there is a big banyan tree behind him, which has been baptized by countless winds and rains for thousands of years, and then has become the best among the ancient trees in the holy capital.
A burly man in black dressed in dark light armor appeared behind a large banyan tree. The man was one with the night, his arms as thick as a tree, and he was holding a huge knife.
