Volume 2 The world is so big I want to see Chapter 144 Action
Outside the town of Huaiyang.
With more than 30 waves of arrow rain successively attacking the town, the original town was almost impossible to see the original appearance of the town was completely razed to the ground, leaving only a lonely inn on the original site, at this time was shrouded in smoke and dust brought up by the wind formed by the arrow rain breaking through the sky, and only some outlines could be faintly seen, but the specific situation of the inn could not be seen clearly. Cui Cheng frowned slightly, and then waved his hand slightly, so the eight thousand heavy archers all froze, and finally stopped attacking while breathing a sigh of relief.
Although it is not clear what the specific effect of this round of attacks that are enough to destroy some small sects, what is somewhat unexpected by Cui Cheng is that from the faintly glimpsed outline, it can be seen that the inn is still collapsing, that is to say, it is very likely that this entire thirty waves of arrow rain were completely blocked by that person's single sword, although it is a little unbelievable, but it seems to be reasonable, after all, Cui Cheng, who had seen the earth-shattering sword before, has completely put away his contempt at this time, and even faintly has a kind of "sword path" The feeling of such a name.
And although Cui Cheng admired and was still a little unwilling, at this time almost all the "flowing feathers" had reached the limit, not only the bow and crossbow needed to be recalibrated and reorganized, but the continuous attack in a short period of time had almost reached the limit of the physical load on these archers, and even the next few waves of arrow rain Cui Cheng could obviously feel that the accuracy had been seriously insufficient, and the original accurate shooting had almost become a covering blow, and many arrows had deviated from the inn and landed in the town, so that the already dilapidated town was completely destroyed. As a last resort, Cui Cheng finally ordered to stop this wave of attacks and ordered to repair for a while.
And as these continuous arrow rains finally stopped, the smoke and dust that originally shrouded the inn gradually dissipated, slightly showing the situation of the inn at this time, Cui Cheng, who was staring at the observation, looked at it, his heart tightened slightly, and he raised his palm and shouted softly: "Be on guard!"
So the "Liuyu" army behind him stopped the movements in their hands and held the reins tightly and was ready to attack at any time.
Zhao Ying, who was on the roof of the inn, sighed helplessly when he saw this, gave up the idea of a surprise attack, and the looming sword light in his hand also dimmed, so he sat down directly on the spot and began to breathe slowly. Cui Cheng, who was on guard in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and slowly put down his erected palm, so the entire "Liuyu" army was slightly relieved and continued to move in his hands, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly and was always on guard.
With this hidden murderous confrontation, the smoke and dust flying around the inn finally completely dissipated, and the situation of the entire inn was completely exposed to everyone's field of vision.
After the baptism of more than 30 waves of arrow rain, this inn looked unharmed, which meant that all the arrow rain shooting at the inn was stopped by Zhao Ying. It's just that although the inn was unharmed, the scene around the inn at this time was really terrifying. Not only has the entire town been razed to the ground, and there are almost no traces of existence, but even the ground around the inn seems to have been peared over, the ground has been scraped off a layer of more than three feet, and there are countless messy arrows scattered around, surrounding the inn in the middle, and from a distance it looks as if the inn is located in a shallow pit. It made everyone in the inn who had never experienced such a stormy bombing attack scared.
At this time, Zhao Ying, who was sitting down on the inn and meditating, was a little frightened by the power of this rain of arrows. As a person who directly confronts these arrow rains head-on, Zhao Yingneng can feel the difference of this arrow rain more intuitively, not only the terrifying penetration and lethality brought by the strange arrows, but also the threads on the arrow shafts seem to be greasy, and they seem to be some special runes, so that when the arrows pass through, they can drive and disturb the vitality between heaven and earth, so what makes Zhao Ying feel quite tricky is not only the terrible lethality of the arrow rain, but also the violent turbulence of the heaven and earth vitality caused at the same time. So that Zhao Ying had to deal with the rain of arrows at the same time to remove these vitality turbulence at the same time to prevent the inn from being washed away by it. For Zhao Ying, dealing with these unpredictable turbulences is far more terrifying than dealing with the rain of arrows, even Zhao Ying also feels quite difficult, and if the scale of this rain of arrows is larger, I am afraid that he will be a little unbearable.
Therefore, although the inn's performance seemed calm at this time, in fact, outside the big pit surrounded by arrows, the vitality of heaven and earth was disordered and violent, which made several people who felt it feel numb in their scalps.
Of course, these are not the reasons why Zhao Ying sighed with regret, in fact, at the moment when the arrow rain stopped, even if Zhao Ying was quite tired at this time, he still had the power of a sword, and there was a chance to shoot at the eight thousand "Liuyu" troops in the distance.
It's a pity that Zhao Ying hesitated for a short moment, and finally missed the best opportunity. If Zhao Ying forcibly took out his sword when Cui Cheng noticed it later, it was very likely that he would be dodged - after all, these "Liuyu" troops were still cavalry in essence and had quite good mobility, and Zhao Ying was not completely sure that he could completely destroy it with a sword after the other party was aware of it, so after thinking about it, he finally gave up this idea, and instead sat down and began to breathe.
And Zhao Ying hesitated for a moment, not because Zhao Ying was unbearable or for any other reason, but at that moment, Zhao Ying was keenly aware of someone's imminent move. The timing was very accurate, just before the moment when Zhao Ying was about to make a move, and it was not disguised at all and even seemed a little blatant, Zhao Ying was slightly distracted by this change, and missed the best opportunity to shoot, and finally could only sigh slightly in his heart with some regret.
And the person who is about to move is very surprising and seems to be reasonable, at least Zhao Ying thinks so.
That person is Xiao Er.
At this time, Xiao Er looked at Pei Wen's hand on his shoulder with some surprise, struggling slightly but not moving, and finally a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled with some self-deprecating embarrassment, and sighed: "I originally thought that you should have lost your strength." ”
Pei Wen frowned and looked at Xiao Er, but he didn't explain much, but there was some confusion in his eyes, so he asked with a serious expression, "Why?"
Xiao Er didn't speak when he heard this, but just shook his head helplessly, as if he had accepted his fate.
In fact, Xiao Er's choice was extremely decisive, the timing was precise and terrifying, almost no one in the field except Zhao Ying could stop him at that moment, that is, Zhao Ying was also condensing his sword qi at that time and wanted to make a move, and he had no time to take care of himself, Pei Wen had already detached, and the only position of Lu Su who could stop him would not stop him, so Xiao Er chose to make a move at that time to restrain Li Si to blackmail, it can be said that both the timing and the decision itself were correct and decisive.
It's a pity that it's finally a little bit closer, and it's just a little bit close to getting it.
This was not a mistake in his calculations, but it should have been an accident. Therefore, at the moment of shooting, he was stopped by Pei Wen, who was aware of it, and pressed on the spot and couldn't move.
In fact, this can really only be regarded as an accident for Xiao'er, and Pei Wen has indeed exhausted all his strength in the previous head-on confrontation with Zhao Ying's earth-shattering sword, and fell into a short period of exhaustion. It's just that what everyone doesn't know is that Pei Wen's own practice is very special, and the recovery speed is extremely fast, so he has already recovered his mobility after a short period of time, although he is only about two or three percent away from the combat power of his heyday, which is absolutely more than enough to deal with Xiao Er.
Everyone in the inn was a little surprised in the face of this change, but Lu Zhi on the side was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and then shook his head thoughtfully.
And Pei Wen's eyes suddenly flashed, but his brows furrowed more and more, and he asked with some hesitation: "Qingyan Pavilion?"
Xiao Er's body stiffened slightly when he heard this, and he lowered his head and fell into silence, although he didn't speak, he obviously acquiesced. At this time, Li Sicai, who realized it later, let out a little frightened "Ah!", and looked at Pei Wen with some surprise, his face full of confusion.
Pei Wen sighed lightly before he explained: "This Qingyan Pavilion is a relatively secret organization of the Great Zhou, and it is called a square and a pavilion together with the Jinyi Fang, although they are all set up by the Great Zhou Imperial Court, but they are all directly under the Shengwu Emperor. This Qingyan Pavilion is more mysterious than Jinyifang, and I have only vaguely heard of it, and today is the first time I have seen it. ”
Li Si was stunned and nodded slightly, while Lu Zhi squinted slightly and didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, as an old man who has been in the army for most of his life, Lu Zhi's understanding of Qingyan Pavilion is still above Pei Wen, and he has been in contact with him before. Therefore, Lu Zhi knew even more that although the Qingyan Pavilion was far less famous than the Jinyi Fang, if it was terrifying, I was afraid that it was still above the Jinyi Fang, just because this Qingyan Pavilion was a complete intelligence agency.
Qingyan Pavilion, as the name suggests, is as pervasive as clear smoke. In fact, Qingyan Pavilion has almost done this, it is said that the entire Great Zhou is full of spies and shadows of Qingyan Pavilion, although the frontal combat ability is not as terrible as those monsters in Jinyifang, but if it is about hiding itself, the skill of judging the situation and spying on intelligence is probably unmatched, and the previous news about the holy relic in Kangping Town was secretly investigated by Qingyan Pavilion. Lu Zhi sighed slightly in his heart when he thought of this, and a trace of unbearable thought flashed in his eyes: "No matter what, this person may choose to make a move with the determination to die." ”
In fact, it is true, no matter what the result of Xiao Er's shot is, he is actually already determined to die, but he just delays a little and tries to make the situation develop in another direction.
Although Xiao Er failed in the end, it doesn't seem to be the case in terms of results, at least he succeeded in delaying Zhao Ying for a moment, which is equivalent to saving the distant "Liuyu" army.
One person for eight thousand, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be a good deal.
