Chapter 187: One Sword, One Arrow
At the beginning, the idea that the two of them held was just to ask who was going to assassinate Xu Changan, and as for whether to kill people or be merciful and let go of each other after asking out, these are all later words.
And now Xu Changan knows that what he should do is not to inquire about anything, but to hack the other party to death as soon as possible to be safe.
The reason for this psychological transformation was behind Choi Sang-gong's arrow.
This young man naturally doesn't look at people very well, but he can always see something other useful in the other person's eyes.
For example, the indifference in Bi Siqian's eyes, knowing clearly that these parties could retreat in an extremely dangerous situation where the two of them passed by, if Xu Changan was a little flustered at that time, he might be able to attract the attention of the other party and kill himself casually.
Yun Wangshu, on the other hand, was ignoring, ignoring his words and deeds, so he could feel that the assassination of Emperor Zulong should not be a simple reason for being called emperor and threatening the status of Lord Moon God as the world thinks.
Now, he could see the determination in the other party's eyes, this was the real assassins, what was he trying to pry out of the mouths of these assassins?
That thought turned into a delusion.
Therefore, the person in front of him must not leave his life, even if it is unsafe to tie his limbs to Xu Changan, and he must be killed as soon as possible.
So he asked Choi Sang-gong for help, but all he got was that arrow.
Xu Changan gritted his teeth, looked at the moment when the other party turned sideways, and lifted the black sword to strike first.
It was still his tried and tested approach, and the other party subconsciously clamped his legs again, in a strangulation posture.
This time, because he had prepared in advance, he wanted to complete the plan that he failed to complete last time, that is, to clamp the opponent's black sword to death, and then force the opponent to abandon the sword with force.
However, it turns out that Xu Changan is not so stupid, after using this method last time, he has already sensed the danger through the other party's later actions, and this time it is naturally impossible to put himself in danger like that, so he changed his method slightly.
Instead of swinging from the bottom up, it just stabbed straight through.
From the moment he got this sword, he had been using the method of slapping and swinging or even slashing, and he had not stabbed a person straight like this.
Although he was speechless in his heart, Cui Xianggong was not accurate in archery, but he also knew that his crosshairs were even worse than the other party, and swinging and slapping and slashing could hit the target better.
But this time he chose to use a stab, and when the other party turned sideways to dodge the arrow that passed by, he stabbed straight with a sword, which is the use of the sword.
Sure enough, the facts once again proved that Xu Changan's previous approach was correct, but it does not mean that this time it was wrong.
The sword stabbed at the base of the opponent's thigh, less than an inch away from the place where it was to be stabbed.
Xu Changan held the sword in his right hand, and the palm of the sword into a fist turned slightly, and he did not retract the sword, but swiped slightly to the side, suddenly rising like a fish playing in shallow water, in a provocative posture, and stabbed forward again!
There was a stinging pain in the other party's thigh, how could he not feel Xu Changan's next move?
The figure retreated violently and flipped back, and in the process of flipping, he casually threw the knife in his hand at Xu Changan, and was stopped in front of him by the left hand that was pierced by an arrow, ready to use his injured hand to block Cui Xianggong's next arrow again.
It seems that Xu Changan should have to deal with the knife that flew towards him, and although Cui Xianggong's arrow can no longer be dodged, it is not difficult for him to stop it with his left hand, even if he can't stop it, at most it will only aggravate the injury, and it will not affect the outcome of this battle.
However, the facts are not always as expected, especially on the battlefield.
Xu Changan didn't care about the knife that flew towards him, but took advantage of the extremely short process of the opponent's body retreating and jumping, his legs suddenly bounced, and he raised the black sword high and slashed directly at the other party!
This sword contains the only aura he has as a cultivator, although it is very little, and it cannot be directly slashed to death, but Xu Changan believes that as long as he hits, he will definitely hit it hard.
For the knife that flew towards him, it was as if he couldn't see it.
The knife was aimed at Xu Chang'an's chest when the assassin threw it out, and because Xu Chang'an was bouncing, it seemed that it should have been pulled from the chest to the abdomen, which might be able to stab Xu Changan, but it would not be fatal.
Xu Changan's approach may be correct, or it may be irrational, the correct thing is that he will not die if he is stabbed, and the other party will not be hit by his own sword.
But in the case that his hand was already injured, if his sword hit, and if Cui Xianggong's arrow came from afar, the victory or defeat would definitely be doomed.
No one can be injured so badly and can stand up and fight with him again, and as long as the other party is seriously injured, even if he is also injured and can no longer swing his sword, then Cui Xianggong will definitely continue to make up for one arrow, or even two arrows in the dark, so it seems that it may not be a big deal to take a knife.
And irrationality lies in the fact that there is a more secure way, Xu Changan can completely retreat while fighting, lure him to Cui Xianggong's location, just like he said just now, the two of them came out together to hack him to death.
But whether it was right or irrational, Xu Changan did it.
In the gray sky, a young man faced the tip of the knife, not afraid at all.
The sharp tip of the knife had already pierced his clothes, and if the camera slowed down, it would be found that blood was oozing around the pierced clothes, and perhaps the next moment the knife would go deeper, and in that deep place was the stomach of the human body.
Just as Fang Cai guessed, after taking this knife, Xu Changan will not die.
The man seemed to have reacted to Xu Changan's actions, he thought that Xu Changan would choose to swing his sword to stop the knife, but he didn't expect that this harmless young man was not only fierce, but also vicious to himself.
It was too late to turn around, and when the knife stabbed in, the sword in Xu Changan's hand would come one after another, but before the sword came first, an arrow in the distance was bound to come earlier.
He also knows very well that Choi Sang-gong is very good at seizing this kind of opportunity, and there is no possibility of any mistakes.
And he just poked out his left hand in advance to prevent Cui Xianggong's sneak attack.
People have two hands, and if the right hand is raised up to block Xu Changan's sword, it sounds easy, but before raising the arm to block the black sword, it is his own eyes that are blocked.
And at the moment when his vision was blocked, he knew that he would inevitably be hit by an arrow.
He also uses arrows, and he knows very well that in addition to the necessary accuracy, the weapon of arrows tests the ability to seize opportunities.
Holding his forehead, turning his head, and even blinking, these are all opportunities for the other party, so when he shot Xu Changan in secret, the opportunity to seize was not Xu Changan's blinking action, because in that dim environment, it was impossible for him to see Xu Changan blinking.
The opportunity he seized was another, more ingenious, the best disguise for the natural environment, the fallen leaves.
An arrow shoots through a fallen leaf, which looks like it is cool, but it is not to set off your momentum, but that small fallen leaf can sometimes really cover the whole world, and it is natural to hide an arrow.
Leaves are born from branches, branches are born from trees, trees are born from the earth, the earth accepts life and death, in this cycle of life and death, green leaves represent life, but fallen leaves are doomed to death.
Just a fallen leaf can do this, and with the right hand waved above the head, the view may be obscured forever even if it is only for a moment.
So he only has two choices now, either to block Xu Chang'an's sword, or to prepare to block another arrow that is about to arrive in secret.
But no matter which one is stopped, it is bound to be seriously injured.
The tingling sensation in his thighs made him unusually awake.
He knew that there were bruises, and the real wound would not be bruised, so sometimes the bruise still meant that the injury was not serious.
He has suffered Xu Chang'an's sword, and he has also learned Cui Xianggong's feather arrow, and the difference between this sword and the injury caused by an arrow made him choose to face Xu Chang'an's sword.
Feathered arrows that can easily shoot through the bones of the hand, the sternum or skull will naturally not last for a moment.
Maybe Xu Changan failed to use all his strength, but he knew that he would inevitably die if he was hit by Cui Xianggong's arrow, and he couldn't bet that Cui Xianggong might miss it.
However, Choi Sang-gong just missed.
Just as Xu Changan jumped high and was about to collide with the knife in his abdomen, an arrow from a distance was not aimed at the assassin, but at the knife that stabbed Xu Changan.
Because the distance between the two sides was too close, and it happened too suddenly, Cui Xianggong completely subconsciously shot the arrow, and whether this arrow could hit was actually not as sure as the few arrows he had stopped before.
But the reality is that the arrow did hit, but it came a little later, and it didn't hit the tip or the blade, but the hilt.
If the two of them were a little further apart, Cui Xianggong could guarantee that he would hit the blade or tip of the knife in advance, but Xu Changan was too close to the assassin, and the arrow only lightly grazed its tail and missed.
But that's enough.
The tip of the knife has pierced through the clothes and pierced into the epidermis, but now that the handle of the knife is crooked, it makes Xu Changan feel the pain of a knife.
Xu Changan gritted his teeth, and his body slashed the sword with his body against the deflected blade!
The man was shocked, but he couldn't make any more plans, the opportunity was only for a moment, and the same was true for defense, and if he missed this moment, all attacks followed.
After receiving this sword, he realized that this little boy had indeed not used all his strength.
If it was with the strength of his talent, this sword could not have such great power, and he should be able to resist it.
In fact, even if he raised his right hand while his left hand was about to stop Cui Xianggong's arrow, his entire hand would inevitably be slashed by Xu Changan's sword and unable to move.
His left hand was shot through, his right hand could not move, and no matter how he looked, what awaited him would be a dead end.
Xu Changan didn't take a breath after slashing out the sword, but reached into his abdomen with one hand to grab the knife that was about to slip off.
With a strong left foot, take a step forward with your right foot and stab the opponent's heart diagonally from the bottom up.
