Chapter 171: Chaos in East Lake
Asayama sect, Donghu gun.
Zhou Xing had never been so nervous, even when he was nine years old, when he awakened the Dharma Xiang and went to pay homage to the ancestors displayed in the family ancestral hall, he had never been so at a loss. Jiang Yunqi and the two apprentices had already been sent away, and the only people available to him were the two junior monks of the Zhou family, as well as a few ordinary people who could be trusted.
Another reason why he confirmed that the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" would make an incident today was that the nine-person team that had been trained in the sect would also arrive in Donghu County around noon, and these nine young monks, although they were not the leaders of the first martial arts competition of the Assayama Sect, were also the leaders who won the first martial arts competition, and they could be regarded as the inheritors of the Assayama Sect.
An enemy hiding in the shadows may have two targets, no, three.
First, it must be these nine people, if they can all be slaughtered here, it will inevitably create great panic in the Qianshan Sect; second, there are many shops selling monks' supplies in Donghu County, which will cause turmoil here, disrupt the construction here, and greatly affect the subsequent merchant investment; third, Zhou Xing, as the guard of Donghu County, if he can kill himself, then at the Xuan-level level, the Qianshan Sect will not only lose a monk, but also lack a person to guard the town, which is also a great blow to the prestige of the sect。
Zhou Xing naturally knew about the lack of people in the sect, and before Li Youde spent the spirit stone to buy the position of the town guard of Warm Valley County, it was enough to explain two things. On the one hand, the Qianshan Sect is indeed short of money, on the other hand, it is a symbol of the lack of people, and the cultivation of Shen Junmao, the town guard of Dayi County, knows that if he barely enters the Xuan level, he can guard one side, and if he dies, he can't think of who else the sect can send out to replace him to guard here.
Wei Jie, who used to serve as an elder of the Gong Inheritance, may be the only candidate.
The younger generation, there are not many people who can touch the threshold of the Xuan level, but if they can survive this year, after the construction of Beimu County is also completed, there may be a lot of funds in the sect, which can support one or two juniors and impact the Xuan level, and now all he knows is that Wei Chengyu, the young monk of the Wei family, is also the champion of the first martial arts of the Qianshan Sect, and there are signs that he is about to break through the spirit level and enter the Xuan level.
It is necessary to hold on until that moment.
"Lord Keeper, the 'Wind Walk Chamber of Commerce' is still open as usual today. The one who came to report was Zhou Xuyang, his own son, but in public, he still called his uncle Zhou Xing as "Lord Town".
"Probe!"
"Yes!"
"Come back!"
"......" Zhou Xuyang stopped there at a loss, waiting for Zhou Xing's new order.
"Come with me. Zhou Xing decided to strike first, although it is estimated that the other party has more than one target, but whether the other party will act in separate ways, or all the way, it is not clear, it is better to fight the grass and startle the snake earlier, mess up their plan, two Xuan level on the left and right, plus two spirit level, If their purpose is really as they judge, they will definitely act separately, even if they are divided into two, they can most likely resist all the way, or even win.
"Go, follow me!"
The two of them walked out of the town guard mansion and went straight to the business inn of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce". At this time, the pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and many ordinary people who rushed to the market have begun to flock to the commercial street of Donghu County, and the opening day of the tenth and last days of the month is the most lively time here.
As soon as Zhou Xing came out of the town guard mansion, he felt that someone was coming up behind him, and the ability to follow the comer was not very clever, and he didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered.
When I entered South Cross Street and got closer and closer to the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce", the tail disappeared first, and I should have reported it in advance. Zhou Xing was not in a hurry, he found a teahouse where he could glimpse the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" from a distance, sat on the second floor with a golden knife, and stared at the other party's every move so brightly, he believed that with his own strength, the other party had to send at least one Xuan level and two spirit levels to ensure that the "attack" was safe, but before the other party did not make a move, he had no way to do it first, otherwise he would be honest, the other party could cancel the action and detain himself with the crime of "robbing business travel", which is not a good thing for Donghu County.
However, the move of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" surprised Zhou Xing.
Before noon, two strangely dressed strange Xuan-level monks left one after another, each with a spiritual-level monk, all the way to the direction of the official road, the other way, to the direction of the North Cross Street, relative to the South Cross Street, the construction of the North Cross Street has already been completed, where the shops are dense, and it is also the most lively place in this big set.
Ready to get started?
Zhou Xing secretly thought, the Xuan-level monks are gone, aren't you afraid that I will take your nest, as soon as the thought arises, a sky-high fire rose in the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce", and before the surrounding spectators gathered, there were three or four guys who copied the guys who were obviously not on the right road, shouting the passwords of "on fire" and "Quickly put out the fire", while hurrying to the road, pretending to detain the arsonist, creating disputes, attacking passers-by, and starting to create chaos.
Is this going to put on a good show?
Zhou Xing flew out and went straight to the Fengxing Chamber of Commerce, and the coercion of the Xuan-level was shrouded away, but he suddenly felt that in the Chamber of Commerce, another Xuan-level aura that was no less than his own suddenly appeared, and he responded to him immediately.
And a Xuan-level?
That is, not the two mentioned in the residency application, but as many as three?
He suddenly understood now that the reason why the opponent revealed the information of the monks of the "Fengxing Chamber of Commerce" yesterday was only to stabilize him in disguise, so that he could misestimate the strength of the other party and not ask the sect for help;
Zhou Xing instantly felt that he had been deceived, but he was cunning, and it was a clear provocation!
Although he was worried about the situation of the nine-person monk group and the shop, Zhou Xing knew that he was weak, so he could only take out the gray bone knife and slap another small animal skin drum with his left hand.
"Stop, what are you guys, dare to make trouble in Donghu County!"
He was greeted by six iron feather arrows shot out in succession, and in various places in the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, six archers with longbows suddenly appeared, although they were mortals, but the balsa longbow in their hands did not look like ordinary products.
Hum!
Zhou Xing sprinted left and right a few times in place, avoiding the ruthless arrows of the archers, and went straight into the courtyard, his spiritual power bloomed, his hand rose and fell, and he cut off the two pillars that supported the gatehouse, and then met a middle-aged male cultivator who rushed out, the monk was dressed in a casual gray robe, his face was blue, and he had an emerald green spear in his hand, and before he could speak, he was already entangled with Zhou Xing.
Not far from here, on the corner of the street, a short young man with his nostrils pointed out and was looking this way, and his eyes seemed to light up with two strange essences, unlike the crowd running wildly.
Sure enough, it's Zhou Xing!
He easily recognized the man who was faintly downwind in the fight.
............
"Enemy attack!"
Ren Xiaolong used all his dantian strength and shouted, making sure that all the team members in the troika in front and behind could hear it, as the temporary captain of this nine-person team, he had this responsibility.
However, it seems that someone has already been shot.
As they marched on the official road, Donghu County was already in sight, but suddenly from the dense forest on both sides, at least twenty archers with longbows burst out, and the fiery iron arrows pierced through the weak carriage of the carriage, and even burned a companion who had no time to dodge.
As a monk, it's a bit embarrassing.
Ren Xiaolong can't care about complaining, in terms of fighting, he is also a chick. Hiding behind the wheels of the carriage, he carefully observed the situation, and judged that this group of people could not be ordinary bandits, but should only be accomplices responsible for creating chaos and panic, and the real opponent must also be the monk.
His fingers moved slightly, and three small shields were suspended at his side, and then jumped up like a freshly dehydrated carp, facing the comer, but the other party's cultivation seemed to far exceed his own, and the Xuan-level aura had completely shrouded this temporarily stopped convoy, sowing panic and helplessness.
"Who dares to attack my shallow mountain sect's convoy!"
He asked loudly, although his cultivation was not as good as the other party, he still stood up bravely and met the opponent's unkind gaze.
"Good!"
As the opponent snorted lightly, another wave of dense arrow rain struck, this longbow should be a low-level magic weapon that can be used by ordinary people, and it is still a lot of trouble for spirit-level monks.
Ren Xiaolong's small shield floated in the air, blocking an arrow that attacked him, his body moved rapidly, holding a short hammer, and entangled with the other two figures rushing towards each other.
It was Zhao Liangdi and Zhou Xulie, the wind around them was fierce, the sword light danced, and the blue light thrown by Ren Xiaolong was mixed with the opponent's sword qi, although they were still at a disadvantage because of their cultivation, but in a short period of time, I believe that the other party will not be able to defeat their own side.
The other two spirit-level opponents fought with Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Cailing, although they were also spirit-level, but Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Cailing lacked suitable magic weapons, fortunately, for the sake of experience in the sect, each person was equipped with twenty first-order runes of various colors, and all kinds of light flew out from the hands of different people, plus the help of the remaining members of the nine-person group who had jumped out of the chaos, they actually had a slight upper hand for a while.
Syllable!
The Xuan-level monk threw out a magic weapon that he didn't know what it was, and the thistle-like magic weapon raised a dazzling cold light, which made the three Ren Xiaolong who were fighting around him stunned, and their spirits became trance-like. Zhao Liangdi was the first to wake up, and hurriedly threw a water shield talisman for each of them, and at the same time, according to his intuition, threw out the unstable "Sixfold Sword Light" and went straight to the opponent.
Click!
The iron sword of the Xuan-level monk did not resist Zhao Liangdi, but slashed at Ren Xiaolong, causing a crisp metal clang, Ren Xiaolong's figure covered by iron armor instantly flew out at least a zhang away, the one-handed hammer in his hand fell, and the small shields on his body were all broken, he spit out a mouthful of blood, turned over and picked up the magic weapon, and rushed into the battle group again regardless of it.
"Resist! Wu Tianchou come and help us and open your shield!"
The fat man Wu Tianxuan, who was called the name, was holding his upper arm, hiding in the hub to gasp, just being hit by a mortal archer, and he was accidentally injured, he had never experienced this chaotic formation, the sound of ping-pong swords, and the shouting and scolding of the moves, all made his heart beat, this was too much different from the situation where Huiwu easily won a game a few days ago, and the sweat drops of beans rolled down from his forehead.
No, I had to muster up my courage, he gritted his teeth, gave himself a mouth, and instantly sobered up. He rolled out of the hub, dodging two indiscriminate iron arrows, the green glow in his hand shone, and six clusters of light emitting a warm aura flew towards the six teammates who were in the battle group around him.
Suddenly, several people felt a burst of warmth around them, not only dispelling the fear of timidity, but also slowly recovering from the injuries on their bodies, and around them, a green halo faintly appeared, which seemed to have some simple protective effects.
Boom!
The iron sword of the Xuan-level monk collided with Zhao Liangdi's short sword, and the huge force directly made Zhao Liangdi's mouth crack, she, like everyone here, was not the opponent of this monk who was known for his strength, the short sword fell out of her hand, and the iron sword of the Xuan-level monk swept towards her body.
Don't!
Ren Xiaolong's one-handed hammer swung violently, swinging towards the unobstructed waist of the Xuan-level monk, but the Xuan-level monk was not in a hurry, he took out a square jade talisman with his left hand and quickly injected spiritual power, and the jade talisman instantly released an inexplicable suction, distorting and deforming the original offensive of several people around him, and Ren Xiaolong's one-handed hammer fell into the air again.
No!
He watched the sword body of the Xuan-level monk slide towards Zhao Liangdi's chest, but a thin figure rushed in time, it was Nie Xiaofan, he kicked at the Xuan-level monk, and at the same time, the pitch-black stick in his hand stabbed the Xuan-level monk's right arm.
"Get out!"
The Xuan-level monk shouted loudly, jumped out of the siege of several people, dodged Nie Xiaofan's non-fatal blow, and stabbed the long sword in his hand towards Nie Xiaofan's chest.
Syllable!
Ren Xiaolong's one-handed hammer danced and fell again, and a trace of success flashed in the eyes of the Xuan-level monk, and when the sword light danced, a purple and black sword qi rushed out, directly penetrating Ren Xiaolong, who was already in an old posture and couldn't jump out of his body, and the target in his heart was not Nie Xiaofan in the first place, but this Ren Xiaolong, who seemed to be the leader.
Shoot people first and shoot horses, break captives and kill chiefs first, the means are average, but he naturally understands this truth after being experienced.
Ren Xiaolong's body flew out again, and there was an additional fist-sized hole wound on his chest, and before he could say anything, he had already lost his breath.
"Brother Ren!"
Zhou Xulie's eyes turned red instantly, his "breeze in the fog" and "water and moon horizontal practice" , Although he can bless the degree of dodging of his body, he has always been able to avoid the sword moves of Xuan-level monks who are not very skillful, but whether it is a strong wind or a low-level spirit rune thrown out, it has little effect on opponents who are a realm higher than himself, and he now completely understands the coercion of the level, but in front of him, it is not the time to wake up with emotion, Ren Xiaolong has already fallen, if Nie Xiaofan is added, the three of them still can't defeat this Xuan-level, everyone present will die here.
What to do?
Ideas flashed through his mind, but there was little chance of success, so maybe it would be helpful to get everyone together to fight the enemy?
Ren Xiaolong is dead, and the rest of the people should theoretically listen to Zhao Liangdi or Nie Xiaofan's orders, but in fact, Zhou Xulie, who is sociable and has a calm personality, has a higher prestige, so he must make a decision as soon as possible now.
Because the Xuan-level monk had already abandoned the two of them and rushed to the other disciple's side first, he decided to settle the battle first, and the few shallow mountain sect spirit level who had obviously fallen behind, the first choice was Zhou Cailing, who was already injured and had difficulty moving.
Ah, run!
Just as Zhou Xulie hesitated, in the depths of the woods, several screams suddenly came out in a row, and several archers were thrown out immediately, and before a few people could see clearly, the other two figures jumped out of the forest.
It is the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao, and the "senior brother" Wei Chengyu!
