Chapter 61: The Chain Crossbow
Shi Ziling picked out the four crossbow archers in one fell swoop, and after taking the sword in his hand, he pointed at the two long swordsmen who jumped onto the roof after him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you, why did you kill me like this?"
The two long knife hands didn't say a word, one left and one right, raised their knives forward, and suddenly shouted in unison, and the two long knives slashed down on their heads.
Shi Ziling felt a little strange in his heart, seeing that the swords of these two people were extremely fierce, and they were murderous and indomitable, just in terms of momentum, they were indeed not inferior to Tang Yifei yesterday. With such skill and strength, he must not be a nobody, how could he do such an assassination in the middle of the night?
It's just that at this time, he can't think about it much, his short sword shook, and countless sword flowers appeared, facing the long knives of the two, and in a jingling sound, Shi Ziling's figure had passed through the knife net woven by the two long knives, and cut into front of the two. The icebreaker sword swung out and swiped it into the chests of the two men.
The two of them were confused by the illusion in their eyes, and they couldn't figure out the shape and direction of Shi Ziling for a while, and when they realized that something was wrong, Shi Ziling had already arrived in front of them, and then they wanted to withdraw the long knife to block, but it was beyond the reach of the whip. The two of them simply stopped dodging, and even pulled out the short knife on their waists at the same time, and stabbed the two ribs of Shi Ziling.
Shi Ziling's sword cut in, is the result of his improvement of the Yu family's eight styles of "turbidity and clearing" style, Tang Yifei died under this style that day, I didn't expect the two long swordsmen in front of him to be so fierce, not afraid of death, actually did not dodge or dodge, pulled out the short sword on his waist to die with himself.
Shi Ziling sneered, retracted the "Icebreaker Sword", and prepared to block the short knives of these two people first, and then find an opportunity to send a sword to fight back.
At this moment, the alarm in Shi Ziling's heart reappeared, and a feeling of extreme danger hit his heart. After swinging his sword and swinging away the two short knives, he didn't care about returning the sword, and with a sharp force under his feet, he jumped high in the air.
At the moment when he jumped into the air, a large puff of silver needles had already shot towards the place where he had been standing, and the two long knife men could not dodge, and screamed in unison, their faces and bodies were shot into honeycombs by countless silver needles.
Before Shi Ziling's body fell, a long sword came from the bottom up, slashing at Shi Ziling's feet, Shi Ziling Zhenyuan reversed, got his left foot on his right foot a little, and jumped up three feet out of thin air, which was able to dodge the long sword, and at the same time let out a magic voice in his mouth: "Pestle ......"
The person who came obviously didn't expect Shi Ziling to be able to move in the air again, and after a little stunned, the sword momentum was stretched again, and he wanted to wait until Shi Ziling's body did not fall before the killer, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden strange sound in his ears, as if countless fine needles drilled into his brain at the same time, and he had a splitting headache for a while.
The killer moves of these assassins continued, and Shi Ziling almost lost his life several times, and his heart was filled with anger. At this time, he landed on both feet and immediately stepped forward, trying to take down the killer in front of him in one fell swoop.
Who knew that when this person saw Shi Ziling's body falling, he already understood that there was no chance to succeed today, so he waved his hand, and an object attacked Shi Ziling head-on.
Shi Ziling was afraid that it was the kind of silver needle that split his head and covered his face just now, so he hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time the sword was blocked in front of him like the wind, and the thing was blocked by Shi Ziling's short sword and fell on the roof, and a cloud of smoke suddenly rose.
Shi Ziling slashed into the air, and where the fog dissipated, the swordsman had disappeared.
Shi Ziling didn't want to let this person run away in such an unexplained way, so he immediately expanded his hearing and looked at the surrounding situation. While he was listening carefully, a group of cavalry came from afar, and a man who looked like a general came to him and shouted: "Who is making trouble at night, and he can't come down!"
Shi Ziling jumped down from the roof, came to the general, and said: "Below is Shi Ziling, the deputy general of Nanying, just now on the way home, he encountered several killers in ambush and plot, and one of the killers seems to have just run in the direction you came from, I wonder if you have seen it?"
The general said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Shi who was in the martial arts arena yesterday, and I am fortunate to have it." Why did you run into a killer? What kind of killer dares to provoke you so blindly, General Shi has nothing to do, right?"
Shi Ziling said: "I have nothing to do. May I ask what is the name of this general, did you just see a masked man with a sword in his hand passing by?"
The general said with a smile: "In Xia Sihai, he is the general of the auxiliary defense force who is responsible for the security of this area. I didn't see anyone passing by just now, did you see that?"
Xu Sihai asked the cavalry behind him.
"Nope. The cavalry replied in unison.
Shi Ziling frowned, pointed to several corpses on the ground, and said, "These killers don't know where the road comes from, they are well-equipped and well-trained, and there are many masters among them. Since General Xu is in charge of security here, he might as well study the identities of these people. ”
Xu Sihai agreed and said: "Just hand over these corpses to me, General Shi, please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to track it down, and see who is so bold that he dares to secretly poison you." ”
Shi Ziling thanked him, picked up a chain crossbow from the corpse of a crossbow archer, and said to Xu Sihai: "General Xu, I want to take this kind of crossbow back to study, is it okay?"
Xu Sihai was stunned for a moment, and said, "Yes, of course you can, General Shi can take it." ”
Shi Ziling thought about it for a while, went to get a crossbow again, and took two bags full of crossbow arrows from the corpse, and then said goodbye to Xu Sihai and left.
By the time he returned home, the rest of the family had already rested. Shi Ziling went to his room to wash up and change his clothes, then took out these two chain crossbows and studied them carefully under the lamp.
This kind of chain crossbow is much smaller than the bows and arrows used in the city defense army, but it is extremely heavy to start, and the structure is all three in a row, that is, three crossbow arrows can be fired at a time. Shi Ziling tried it, and it was easy to use both loading and issuing arrows, and it was estimated that even people who didn't know martial arts could use it easily.
Look at the two bags of quivers, the leather surface looks very exquisite, and it feels very good to the touch, each quiver is equipped with twelve crossbow arrows, these crossbow arrows are made of unknown materials, they are heavy to start with, and the arrows are extremely sharp, even if they are strong, if they are shot by such crossbow arrows at a short distance, they will be seriously injured if they do not die.
Shi Ziling was amazed, although he was not familiar with weapons, he could also see that these two chain crossbows must be expensive, and even these two quivers were finely crafted, which showed how expensive they were. As for the power, if it weren't for his keen spiritual sense, he noticed the danger first, and it was likely that he had been shot into a hedgehog by these crossbow arrows.
Even if it is a soldier who is familiar with martial arts, as long as there is such a chain crossbow in his hand, it will be difficult for ordinary masters to get close, and if it can be combined with other attack methods, it is indeed very powerful both offensive and defensive.
Shi Ziling couldn't help but regret that he didn't come back with a few more serial crossbows, the Yu family didn't have decent masters, if he could have a few more such serial crossbows, once he encountered a strong enemy, he was quite sure of self-preservation.
"Who is it that actually used eight such delicate chain crossbows, plus two long swordsmen who are not inferior to Tang Yifei, to deal with themselves?"
Especially the masked swordsman at the back of the most Lu was still able to escape calmly after suffering from Shi Ziling's "Outer Heaven Demon Sound" containing the eighth layer of spiritual power, which showed that his true yuan cultivation had reached a very high level, even if it was not as good as Chen Zhongda, it should not be too far away.
What's even more terrifying is that this person immediately fled away after a miss, and did not do senseless entanglement at all, obviously a master of assassination, if such a guy has been secretly serving around him, wouldn't it make people sleep uncomfortably.
Shi Ziling thought about it carefully, and felt that the strength of this batch of killers tonight was really amazing, and if he did it again, he was really not sure that he would be able to get out of the way.
Shi Ziling fell into deep thought, tonight he first faced Su Xiaoxiao's demonic nature in his body fluctuated abnormally, and then when he went home, he was ambushed by a group of killers, and he was in a bad mood after saying goodbye to Su Xiaoxiao, and wanted to be alone and quiet, and did not walk with the brothers in Nanying, otherwise these generals were afraid that they would not be able to survive under the attack of these killers.
Shi Ziling thought about it, except for Chen Gongzhao who had enmity with him, there was no one else who had a reason to deal with him. The question is that the strength of these killers is so strong, is it really Chen Gongzhao who invited them? If so, what will Chen Gongzhao do next to himself?
Shi Ziling was not too worried about Chen Gongzhao sending a killer to assassinate him, he had an extremely keen spiritual sense of protection, and he could always detect the danger ahead of him, even if he couldn't beat it with his strength, he should still be able to escape.
He was more worried about whether those killers would be bad for the Yu family. He planned to go to Ma Yu tomorrow and give Ma Yu a chain crossbow to see if he could find any clues.
Moreover, if you can create more of the same crossbow according to the style of this chain crossbow, and equip the Yu family's guards with a few more, then even if you are not there, you shouldn't have to worry too much about their defense capabilities.
