Chapter 33: Imagination

Under the flickering and restless shadow, the half-cut arrow shaft seemed to be alive, flickering bright and dark, moving up and down, looking very weird.

Although other possibilities are not ruled out, at this moment, the goatee's lean brain has selected one possibility very precisely.

Whether it was the pungent smell of gunpowder left in the air, or the color and depth of the burning of the broken wood, and the shaft of the arrow that was half-pierced into the wood chips, they all pointed to the same answer.

Boom!

That's right! Thunderbolt that can be tied to a bow and arrow!

Moreover, the other party must be from Garan City.

The recipe and preparation of this powerful black powder are only in the hands of their city lords.

Ever since it first appeared in a battle ten years ago, the secret recipe for making this gunpowder has been kept in the mansion of the city lord Xue Xuchun, and has never been passed on or stolen. Even if he used the power of the Demon Realm to capture Jialan City this time, he failed to catch the head of the Xue family and his heirs, let alone find the secret recipe he dreamed of.

The goatee was slightly excited, and of course more nervous. He sniffed a few times, like a wild wolf smelling blood, and sneered: "It's coming!"

"Huh, who's coming?"

"Hmph, the person your lord is looking for. ”

......

At the same time that the six brocade-clothed people gathered together, behind the wall at the end of the long street, the two elders of Songshi also showed surprised expressions.

The clothes of these people are very familiar, if I remember correctly, they should be from White Deer City, more than 800 miles to the west. He had previously accompanied the city lord Xue Xuchun to visit the Sword Sect there, named Lu Zikun. The deer's subordinates all wore this dark red brocade robe, with a white patch on the chest, embroidered with different logos, and a square nameplate around the waist to represent the corresponding status. remembers that at that time, Lu Zikun also proposed a marriage contract for his children, but was politely rejected by the head of the Xue family on the spot. Because of this, the two sides didn't seem to have a good time, and they ended the trip early.

How could the people of White Deer City appear here? Could it be that they had invaded Jialan City and committed such a crime that had lost their conscience? If this was the case, where were the head of the Xue family and the family? Could it be that they had already been poisoned?

A series of questions swirled in the second elder's mind, and at the same time, they also drew their long swords very tacitly and prepared for battle. Yang Ao and Xue Yu next to him saw that the two elders were silent, holding their swords in their hands, and they all understood it, and quietly pinched the bladeless blade and the Xuan Fracture Fan. Seeing this, Uncle Zhang and Yang Ruoqing, who were hiding in the innermost, also knew that the comer was not good, so they both held their breath and couldn't help but take a few steps back into the darkness in the corner.

But these few steps, because I was too panicked and didn't want to be tripped by myself, I fell on all fours with an "oops". The mules and horses could not see the surrounding situation clearly because it was dark, so they could only prick up their ears, and they were frightened by the front, and they all screamed.

"Who!"

As soon as the men and horses shouted, the six brocade-clothed men were immediately alert, drew their swords one after another, and looked towards the city gate. At this hope, the six people were all taken aback.

From afar, how did the well-closed gate open, and the drawbridge was lowered!

"Uncle Cen, there!"

It was the thin young man again, who waved the lantern on the street, and then tried to run over, but was stopped by a goatee, and shouted: "Slow down! Those people may have thunder, don't go over!"

"What Ray?"

"Boom thunder! A very powerful firearm! We rushed all the way here this time, just for this!" Uncle Cen said fiercely.

This sentence was supposed to remind the young man, but he inadvertently dialed the second elder of Songshi.

Song Henian secretly said in his heart: Yes, we are really confused, we have thunder in our hands! He immediately raised his eyebrows at Shi Zhongyue, turned around and took out the remaining three thunderbolts from his bag.

However, there are only three left.

I thought that these thunderbolts would not be used at all, so I only brought five, but I didn't expect that they were about to return to my doorstep, but they came in handy.

I knew this was the case, and I should have brought more when I came out, alas!

Song Henian secretly regretted it, and at the same time discovered a new problem: there was no fire around him!

The nearest source of fire was the smoking pile of ashes, about twenty paces from the hiding place, and had to cross the street. This means that if you want to start a fire, you must be exposed to the other party's sight. Shi Zhongyue also saw the problem, wiped the gray hair on his forehead that was stuck with sweat, his angular face was full of embarrassment, and he had no idea for a while.

Uncle Zhang was helped up by Yang Ruoqing, supporting the old waist, and he didn't know what happened to the second elder Songshi in a daze. Later, when he saw the red paper tube in Song Henian's hand, it was the powerful firearm tied to the flying arrow just now, as if he understood, he immediately trembled and rummaged through his luggage and found a flint to come out.

Yes!

A group of people here were busy beating flints and steels in the dark, and the six people on the other side were also sweating in a panic.

Uncle Cen, who was in the lead, was afraid of the power of the thunder, and he didn't know how many people and what kind of details the Xue family came tonight, so he had to have a cold face and issued a series of instructions: "Fine hair, you kid run fast, hurry back to the house to report, and call more brothers! Oh yes, you must call the black skin to come with them! Go quickly...... Seven pounds, six pounds, you two! Go up and find out what is real over there...... Ming Tsai, bald head, you come with me, follow them, go!"

Fine hair, it was the thin young man, who ran to the back of the street like a rabbit when he heard the words. Seven catties and six catties, two black-bearded men, both born five big and three thick, did not say much after receiving instructions, only raised the long sword, and approached the street quickly.

Less than 100 meters between the two places, you can run to the end with a sip of tea. But things are often like this, the more anxious you are, the worse the situation becomes. Uncle Zhang was panicked, and the night was dark and the wind was high, and the deadly flint hit several times but failed to cause the fire, and he was so anxious that he sweated.

Yang Ao and Songshi couldn't help but clench the hilt of their swords, intending to have a face-to-face competition with the attacking black-bearded man. After all, although the other party is tall and menacing, the number of people is not large, and with the cultivation of the five-star swordsman and the help of the Heavenly Clan's Yuanyang, it should not be difficult to deal with.

At this critical juncture, I saw a green shadow dangling from the street!

But it was Xue Yu who used that elusive trick again, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed across the street!

Qijin and Liujin were both startled by the sudden movement in front of them, and couldn't help but stop and look at each other.

- What the hell is that? How did it go so fast?

Moreover, this time, in addition to the long cyan shadow like a snake, there seems to be a bright yellow line of fire?

Seeing that Xue Yu had gone back and forth in the blink of an eye, the second elder of Songshi rushed to the opposite side to retrieve the fire source, and couldn't help but show joy on his face, and secretly praised: It is worthy of being after Xue Men, this trick is "imaginative", and it has been practiced to the realm of supernatural perfection!

It is one of the secret thaumaturgy of the Xue family in Jialan City, mainly through the mysterious and unique footwork, the body is teleported and appears in places that the opponent does not expect at all. This move can be combined with the technique of "Green Snake Spitting Letters" to form a surprisingly winning killing move, just like Xue Yu interrupted the two arms of Zhang Xing of the Black Tiger Hall and the Demon Flower Demon Girl before. Of course, it can also be used alone, as it is now.

Now that the fire source has been obtained, you naturally don't need to be polite!

Song Henian raised his eight-character white eyebrows, took the fire cloth, and took a thunderbolt to ignite, but was stopped by Yang Ao on the side with his hand raised.

"Elder Song!" Yang Ao lowered his voice and asked, "How many more of this thing are there?"

Song Henian was stunned and raised three fingers.

"Just three?! That's going to save some money! Did you see, they've already gone back to call people. ”

"Oh!" Song Henian secretly said why he was so excited that he forgot about this stubble?

I don't know how many enemies there are behind, can these three thunderbolts withstand it?

Yang Ao was also a little worried.

The thunder that was shot just now was indeed to startle the snake and attract the other party, but it seems that this "grass" is not very good, because there is more than one "snake" at all; moreover, what is even more worrying is the mysterious person who frequently fired cold arrows and cut ropes at the head of the city before, that guy, or those two guys, have disappeared mysteriously since Xue Yu and I climbed the battlements, and it is also very difficult to deal with it if it hides in the dark at this moment...... I was thinking about it, and the seven and six catties had already run to the streets.

said that it was too late, that time was fast, and the second elder of Songshi did not make a sound, and rushed out of the shadows, and it was a blow to stop the waist!

"Huh?!"

Seeing the cold light flashing, the two black-bearded men had already struck in front of them with sword energy, and they hurriedly swung their swords to block it.

The two swords intersected, bursting out a string of sparks, and the arms of the four of them were tight!

The lantern in his hand swayed, just a look, everyone saw each other clearly, and they also secretly knew their respective sword power cultivation.

How can it be so coincidental? No more, no less, they are all five-star swordsmen!

Well, since the forces are equal, let's fight with all our might! Neither of them spoke, and before they could exhaust their previous moves, they swiped out several swords one after another. I only heard the crisp sound of Ding Dang, the dancing sword qi, the flying sparks, the fluttering white whiskers, and the two lanterns and the four figures, all of which were mixed up for a while, and I couldn't tell you and me at all.

Here the two elders of Songshi and the black-bearded man danced their long swords angrily and fought in one place, and then the three of Uncle Cen had also arrived, but seeing that the four of them were inseparable from each other, they couldn't intervene for a while, and they all held lanterns and long swords around the outside.

Just as Uncle Cen and the three of them were eyeing and waiting for an opportunity to make a move, they found that a long green shadow suddenly flashed behind the wall on the street, and they had rushed to the front in an instant!
