Chapter 76: Cooperation
Looking at Qian Yuan, who was lying on the ground and losing his life, Zhang Qing was still cautiously observing, while Ah Longyin, who was in front of him, completely believed in his poisonous needle, and sat on the ground with a sigh of relief, while frowning and handling his left arm. In the fight just now, the strenuous activity will inevitably displace the bones of the left arm that have been connected, if you don't want to leave any disabilities in the future, it is better to deal with it now.
Seeing that Qian Yuan was indeed dead, Zhang Qing finally relieved himself. As soon as the breath that had been lifted was removed, I felt pain all over my body, my meridians were cracking, and my arms didn't look like my own, so I had to sit down with a "bang", leaning on a tree and panting, while the unstoppable smile climbed to my face.
Hearing Zhang Qing's weak laughter, Ah Longyin also let out a silver bell-like laugh. The more they laughed, the happier they became, until Zhang Qing pulled his muscles, and the pain made him can't help but snort, so he couldn't stop this inexplicable happiness.
Although he made a lot of preparations, he had calculated with or without intention, but after designing an ambush by himself, he really killed the guy in front of him who was a little deeper than Brother Bai's skills, at least the innate triple heaven, without urging the jade Jue given by the master, and a half-crippled little girl, which still made him very unbelievable.
Zhang Qing will not be the kind of means to completely cover up her own traces, although Ah Longyin can make it impossible for ordinary people to discover her actions in the forest because she grows in the mountains and forests, but now that she is injured, and there is also a Zhang Qing, she can't stop the people behind her from chasing after her.
But when Zhang Qing was communicating with Ah Longyin, he casually asked about the method of killing Zhang Sanwa, and Ah Longyin told him about his poisonous needle method without concealing it. When he learned that the person in this poisonous needle almost had his throat sealed with blood, and that people in the realm of the outer gods were basically unable to fight without special means or the outer god realm, Zhang Qing had a bold idea.
Zhang Qing saw Qian Yuan climbing the mountain on the cliff before, and he also asked about the terrain near Ah Longyin, knowing that the first person who could catch up with him must be Qian Yuan who climbed the cliff, and as for the large army behind, it must be at least half a day to a day's journey slower.
Just in order to make trouble for Qian Yuan's tracking, the two of them chose a remote and narrow place, and in the place where the mountain wall turned, Zhang Qing found a very good ambush place.
After turning the mountain wall, there is a natural pit in the ground less than 20 zhang. It is not deep, only about three feet high, but it is two zhang long and about one zhang and five zhang wide.
At the same time, although it is autumn now, the land of Yunzhou is humid and hot, and the trees are still lush and green, and there are few fallen leaves. But I don't know if it's because of the tree species or the geography, the ground of this small col is covered with fallen leaves, so that Zhang Qing can hide the hole and hide himself under the pile of leaves.
It was also Qian Yuan who was used to living in the city, and had little experience of living in the mountains and forests, and did not notice the unusual thickness of fallen leaves on the ground, so he fell into this simple trap.
Zhang Qing had already noticed last night that this Qian Mansion housekeeper would not fly long distances when he was rushing, but was down-to-earth step by step, probably to prevent someone from sneaking up when he was in the air, which is why he had to wait until the last moment to seize the opportunity of Qian Yuan's body to make a knife.
Zhang Qing arranged for Ah Longyin to lie under a tree with a high fever, and the hole in the ground was on the way from the entrance to the tree. With the length of this hole, as long as Qian Yuan pounced on Ah Longyin, he would definitely step on it.
In order to make Qian Yuan less thoughtful, he also asked Ah Longyin to expose the box containing the fruit after learning about the specific effects of the Epimoon Fruit and the time limit for consumption, just to stimulate Qian Yuan's sense of urgency.
Because the hole is very shallow, Zhang Qing has no time and tools to dig it deep. So in order to let Qian Yuan fall but not fall to the bottom, he also specially chose slightly thicker branches as the support of leaves, just to make Qian Yuan think that he had fallen into a trap after stepping on here, and he didn't dare to fall down, so he could only turn over with all his strength.
Then he arranged for Ah Longyin to sprinkle a handful of steel needles when Qian Yuan wanted to get out of the hole, Qian Yuan, who had seen the poison needle, would definitely not dare to let the poison needle touch him, and he could not ensure that all the steel needles would be shot down in mid-air, and the inertia of the forward rush also made it difficult for him to retreat, so he could only fall towards the right side that was most convenient for him.
The last is Zhang Qing himself, he ambushed on the right side of the hole, shot directly after Qian Yuan dodged the steel needle, and at the same time slowed down his knife speed, so that Qian Yuan, who had suffered a loss, subconsciously gave up and jumped into the distance and fell to the edge of the pit. And on the edge of the pit was the gift that Zhang Qing prepared for him - five poisonous needles hidden under the leaves.
That's right, there are only five poisonous needles there, which is why Zhang Qing has to work so hard to secretly calculate Qian Yuan. It is because of this kind of poisonous needle that the blood seals the throat and makes the poisoned person feel no pain at all is very precious, and even Ah Longyin only has ten sticks.
And Ah Longyin is too wasteful, he used one to kill Zhang Sanwa at the earliest, and last night he threw three at a time in order to block Qian Yuan, and now there are only six left in his hand that can be used. He stuck five sticks in the ground, leaving the last one for Ah Longyin to defend himself.
If it weren't for this, Zhang Qing would have been filled with poisonous needles in the hole, as long as Qian Yuan fell, the matter would be over.
Unfortunately, Ah Longyin told him that there were only six sticks of this aggressive poison left, and that the poison against the four people who had guarded the Meridian Valley before was a colorless and odorless liquid that had to be consumed and could not be used in the hand. All that remains is the poison powder she wields, this poison is not fatal, it will only affect the flow of the warrior's breath, destroy the meridians and acupoints, and reduce the enemy's combat power in battle, but it cannot make the opponent lose resistance immediately.
Therefore, Zhang Qing specially calculated Qian Yuan's course of action several times, inserted a few poisonous needles in the places where the old man was most likely to fall, and repeatedly instructed Ah Longyin to pay attention to the direction when throwing the steel needles.
Fortunately, Zhang Qing had been in contact with Bai Huiye before, and had a general understanding of how far an innate beginner-level martial artist could go. Qian Yuan was actually completely calculated by Zhang Qing, if he didn't react so quickly and fell into a thigh-deep pit, he could deal with the two of them calmly.
And Ah Longyin's spilled a steel needle is completely non-toxic, even if it is all pierced on the body, it is just a flesh injury. It's a pity that Zhang Qing basically guessed the old housekeeper's personality and behavior correctly through a short period of contact and his understanding of Qian Yuan's identity. It also has a rough inference about the series of reactions after he found out that he was in the trap.
Sure enough, Qian Yuan walked down according to Zhang Qing's intentions step by step, and successfully stepped on the poisonous needle. However, Zhang Qing didn't expect him to decisively cut off his right leg later, and thanks to Ah Longyin's cleverness, he stepped forward to attract Qian Yuan's attention, which gave Zhang Qing the opportunity to exert his power later.
In fact, Zhang Qing didn't know if his arrangement would work, but he had the confidence to give him this piece of jade from his master. Luo Tieyi said that no one under the outer gods could block this blow, and Zhang Qing believed it very much, because the profound sword intent in the jade jue made him want to stop and benefited a lot.
It is precisely because of this that although there is this insurance, Zhang Qing doesn't want to use it on this bad old man, and he can solve it by himself.
However, the situation at that time was also quite critical, Qian Yuan was about to deal with his wounds, and Zhang Qing was full of meridians, and his strength was still good, and the knife was still flying far away. Therefore, he used the concealment technique to weaken his aura, making Qian Yuan mistakenly think that he was dying, so he relaxed his vigilance, and was quietly touched behind him by him.
After that, Zhang Qing was ready to use Yu Jue to solve Qian Yuan, but because he was reluctant to hesitate, he found that the old man focused all his attention on himself because he was afraid of the sword intent in Yuzhong, and he didn't care about Ah Longyin behind him at all.
Zhang Qing had an idea, but he only relied on Yu Jue to urge the knife intent, but he did not activate the sword qi in it. Sure enough, Qian Yuan, who was already a little dull in his mind because of excessive blood loss, resisted with all his strength like a frightened bird, and completely gave up the defense in the rear.
The clever Ah Longyin seized the opportunity without consulting Zhang Qing, and used the last poison needle left behind for self-defense to shoot into Qian Yuan's defenseless heart, completely eliminating him.
It can be said that the two people who have only been together for less than half a day are extremely compatible, even if they have not discussed it in advance, they cooperate seamlessly. Through Zhang Qing's careful design, with the help of some luck, Qian Yuan, who was a little tired and paralyzed, was calculated to death.
