Chapter 55, one against four
The rain of arrows from the Assassins stopped, but neither did the rain of arrows from the guards. The guards were skilled in archery and shot arrows with great frequency, one arrow after another at the attacking Assassins.
The Assassins had no shields, and could only use their blades to fend off the rain of arrows. Some of the Assassins were shot by arrows and fell before they could get close to the willow grove, but many more rushed into the willow grove.
As the Assassins rushed forward, the archers suddenly retreated, and at the same time, another guard with a spear suddenly stood up from behind the shield and stabbed the Assassin who had reached the front of the shield.
The Assassins were unprepared for the spear stabbing, and in their panic, some of them were stabbed by the spear.
About one-third of the assassins were wounded by arrows and spears, but after getting close, although these guards were well-trained forbidden soldiers, there was still a gap between them and these assassins composed of Jianghu people, so after getting close, although the guards had a numerical advantage, they were quickly injured a lot.
Chen Qi and Zhao Yuechen also flew out when the assassin killed the guards. Chen Qi held the Tianwen Sword in his hand and used the Tianwen Sword Technique, those assassins couldn't resist it at all, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured in an instant.
In the distance, there were five black-clothed masked men who had been standing still, quietly watching the situation, and when they saw Chen Qi appear to kill in all directions, everyone was shocked.
"This person's martial arts are so high, why hasn't anyone reported it before?" asked a tall, thin masked man.
"This man had never shown martial arts before, only that he had only recently appeared beside him. A man in black replied.
The tall, lanky masked man said to the three men standing to his left, "Go with the three of you, and kill this man." ”
"Yes!" After the three of them finished speaking, they immediately started light work, drew their weapons and killed Chen Qi.
When the three of them killed Chen Qi's side, five or six more people fell under Chen Qi's sword. At the same time, Chen Qi had already discovered that the three people who had been killed from a distance did not dare to be careless, and killed directly with a sword.
"The stars are shining" and "the flowers are blooming", Chen Qi used two quick moves one after another, and he could attack multiple people's sword moves at the same time.
Although the three who attacked were surprised by Chen Qi's high martial arts, they actually didn't take Chen Qi seriously, because they felt that the three of them joined forces, and Chen Qi would definitely die.
But after they fought with Chen Qi, this idea immediately disappeared, it was really Chen Qi's sword moves that were not only fast, but also very weird, and everyone fought against Chen Qi with a spirit of twelve points.
With one enemy and three enemies, Chen Qi did not fall behind at all, and every sword move he used made the three of them tired to deal with, so he kept suppressing the three of them.
"Waste, three people against one is still suppressed, you can go too. "The tall and thin masked man is humane to the masked man who stays around.
"Yes!" the man also drew his sword after speaking, and launched a light attack to kill Chen Qi.
"Miss Ding, there is another person, you go and help Brother Chen. Ji Xuan was a little worried when he saw another person killing Chen Qi.
Ding Muxi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Brother Qi should be able to handle it, but I can't handle it, it's not too late for me to go." ”
Ji Xuan said: "With Miss Ding's understanding of Brother Chen, if she thinks it's okay, then it's definitely no problem, and we will watch the battle for Brother Chen here." ”
Ding Muxi said: "There is another reason why I didn't go over, there was still a person standing in the distance, that person didn't move, he should be waiting for an opportunity to make a move on you." ”
Ji Xuan said: "Miss Ding is really careful. ”
Ding Muxi smiled: "Since you are Your Highness's bodyguard, you have to do your duty, don't you?"
Ji Xuan smiled: "With guards like the two of you, I'm afraid no one can hurt me." ”
Ding Muxi said: "No one can hurt you, so we can be called competent guards." ”
While the two were talking and laughing, several assassins broke through the guards' defenses and killed Ji Xuan.
Seeing this, Ah Niu said with a smile: "These people will practice my hands." After saying that, he held a big knife and killed him.
A Niu's knife technique was taught by Zhao Yue Chen, a total of ten moves, Zhao Yue Chen called this set of knife techniques called the cross knife method. These ten tricks are boundless, the best of both worlds, three visits to the thatched house, embattled, abundant grains, six animal prosperity, seven scattered and eight falling, eight exquisite, nine clouds outside, and ten sides of ambush.
Although Ah Niu had also used this set of knife techniques to learn from Zhao Yuechen and Shen Changhao before, but at this moment, it was the first time Ah Niu had a real trick with someone, and he used all these ten moves in order in one go.
For Ah Niu's unconventional play, those assassins were stunned for a while, and two of them were even cut by Ah Niu.
"Miss Ding, I'm amazing!" Ah Niu shouted excitedly.
"Be careful!" Ding Muxi said when someone arrived, and killed an assassin who stabbed Ah Niu with a sword, and then she took advantage of the situation to kill several others.
"Niu Kelian, you stupid cow, are you air when you are a few other people? How dare you be distracted when fighting with the enemy? You don't want to die!" Ding Muxi scolded Ah Niu a little angrily.
Ah Niu knew that he was wrong, and he was also scared into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about accusing Ding Muxi of shouting his name in front of people, and he was embarrassed to apologize to Ding Muxi: "Miss Ding, I'm sorry, I was happy for a while, I forgot, next time I must remember, beat them all down and talk again." ”
Ding Muxi pursed his lips, "You can't be careless with the enemy at any time, regardless of the strength of the opponent." ”
"Mmmmmm, I remember, can I find a few more people to practice. Ah Niu looked at Ding Muxi with a longing expression.
Ding Muxi said: "Don't go far. ”
"Okay!" Ah Niu said and excitedly carried the big knife to a short distance, where a few assassins were fighting with a dozen guards.
Ji Xuan said to Ding Muxi, who returned to his side: "Miss Ding, don't worry, as long as Ah Niu's martial arts don't meet a master, it's no problem to protect yourself." ”
Ding Muxi said: "He has too little combat experience. ”
Ji Xuan said: "Now is the opportunity to practice. ”
Ding Muxi nodded and continued to watch the situation on Chen Qi's side.
With the addition of the last person, Chen Qi was one against four, although he did not suppress it at the moment like just now, but he was also calm.
Chen Qi's calm response made the four people who fought with him extremely angry, but there was no way, because they tried their best, but they couldn't suppress Chen Qi, let alone hurt Chen Qi, and even took his life.
Martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, Chen Qi's Tianwen Thirteen Swords are too fast, and the speed is dazzling, but this set of swordsmanship is not all fast moves, and there are also a few moves that are slow. Sometimes he uses a quick move, which makes people tired to deal with, but his next move suddenly slows down, so that the opponent sees the hope of attacking, in fact, this is a trick to lure the enemy, if the opponent takes advantage of this time to attack with all his strength, he will be counterattacked by Chen Qi's quick sword.
The combination of fast and slow, virtual and real, these four people are really hard against Chen Qi, but they also have to fight with all their might, although they know that the four of them can't hurt Chen Qi, but there is a person watching the four of them in the distance.
In fact, the tall thin masked man in the distance is also having a headache now, he originally wanted to rely on the first three to kill Chen Qi, and then go to kill Ji Xuan, but later saw that these three people were obviously defeated by Chen Qi, so he asked the last person around him to go over, hoping that he could hurt Chen Qi with the strength of the four people, and if he couldn't hurt him, at least he had to suppress Chen Qi, so as to mobilize Ding Muxi beside Ji Xuan, because he felt that Ding Muxi could stay by Ji Xuan's side as the last person, and it would definitely not be simple. If Ding Muxi is transferred away from Ji Xuan's side, then with Ji Xuan's martial arts, he is not his opponent at all, so he can kill Ji Xuan, but if he is against Ding Muxi and Ji Xuan at the same time, he is not completely sure that he can kill Ji Xuan.
"There's no time, take a gamble!"
Seeing that the assassins who were fighting with the guards were constantly falling, and the four people who were fighting with Chen Qi were gradually becoming weaker, the tall and thin masked man decided to take a gamble, betting that Ding Muxi's martial arts were not as high as Chen Qi's.
