Chapter Ninety-Two: Seeing Death and Not Saving It
On the outskirts of Dingzhou, a flat official road winds through the low hills, leading to the lofty mountains at the end.
Tuk Tuk ......
The sound of horses' hooves descended suddenly, breaking the calm of the wilderness.
A moment later, a group of three horsemen appeared not far away, all of them were burly, armed with swords, and they were typical Northland high-rollers. The horse was also a divine horse, galloping like an arrow, but the three people on it looked frightened and couldn't help but whip and urge.
After a while, in the dust behind the three horsemen, they rushed out of the three horses again, but they were two men and one woman, both wearing cyan slim robes and holding long swords. The woman was very beautiful, and she was very heroic when she urged the horse to gallop, and she did not lose to the two heroic young men beside her.
The three riders in front seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and looked back from time to time, their expressions became more and more anxious, and they repeatedly urged them to drive, regardless of horsepower.
The horses ridden by the six people were all good horses outside the Guan, and the horse speed should be about the same, but the three people who were chasing after them were obviously carrying superior light skills, and they were always lifting their qi and lightening their bodies on the horse's back, reducing the burden on the horses, making the horses faster, and gradually narrowing the distance with the three horses in front.
When the two sides were less than five feet apart, the three people in front couldn't help but look ugly. The person in the center seemed to be the leader, and with a fierce flash in his eyes, he took out a willow leaf dart from his arms, and turned his head to signal the two people next to him to do the same. The three of them lay motionless on the horse's back, but their right hands, which had quietly moved, suddenly spilled darts in unison.
A burst of silver light burst out, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the three people behind them, enveloping them all over their bodies.
At the first time of crisis, the three of them were not panicked or confused, and calmly dodged or swung their swords to dial.
Ding-ding-dong......
After a short crisp sound, dozens of willow leaf darts that were both urgent and dense could not hurt the three people and three horses in the slightest.
Then, the woman burst out with a silver bell-like laugh, and shouted, "Come and don't be rude! Take us a dart!" The words continued, and the three of them shook their hands in unison.
But seeing the cold and glittering inch of the big peng, the short arrows roared and approached the three horsemen in front.
The three big men are also experienced people who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they don't need to look back, just hear the poignant and sharp sound of breaking the air, and they know that this wave of hidden weapons is very tricky. In particular, the short arrows shot by the sharp-faced young man in the back were the most insidious and cunning, and they all went straight to the joints of the hind limbs of the horses under their crotch*.
Sonorous......
The long swords of the three of them were instantly unsheathed, and at the same time, they leaned back and stuck to the horse's back, and the long swords swung out sword flowers, firmly protecting themselves and the horse like a curtain.
Dingdingding......
With the crisp sound of the blade striking down the hidden weapon, there was a sudden bang, and the long sword of the man on the left was easily broken by an inconspicuous short arrow. Fortunately, the man was not slow to react, and hurriedly turned to one side, narrowly avoiding the short arrow that continued to shoot at his shoulder.
The three of them were all startled, and they all looked back at the calm young man on the left side of the woman, and secretly cursed that the dog that really bites people does not bark......
There was a short fight between the two sides before they chased and fled, and the three men roughly came to the conclusion that the two men and one woman who chased after each other made a delicate Huashan swordsmanship, among which the woman had a straight temperament, and the woman did not let her eyebrows, and the sharp-faced young man occasionally used some cunning small means, and although the calm young man has not been impatient, he has the deepest skills and the most refined swordsmanship, and he can often force them into danger with one blow. The short arrow that broke the long sword just now had an unexpectedly strong internal strength on it, and it must have been shot by this person.
After a secret weapon confrontation, the distance between the two sides is still getting closer and closer, and it is less than four feet.
Suddenly, there was a whoosh......
The dense whistle of breaking the air rose again, and the faces of the three big men in front of him changed suddenly, but the hidden weapon was behind him in an instant, and because of the shortening of the distance, the strength of this wave of dark weapons was obviously much stronger than the previous wave.
In desperation, the three men used their own means, either swinging their swords to resist, or leaping into the air, or flipping on horseback to dodge with their skillful horsemanship. But this time, the latter three are obviously targeted and determined to win. The three men tried their best, but they still couldn't avoid all of them. Except for the leader in the middle, who had good martial arts and was only injured by a short arrow on his arm, the two people next to him were hit by three or two short arrows, even if they tried to avoid the vital point, they were still inevitably injured and greatly affected their combat effectiveness.
At this moment, the three people behind shouted in unison, suddenly rose up, and volleyed towards the three people in front of them.
Originally, it was most taboo for masters to fight each other to take off at will, after all, they were in the air, had nowhere to focus and were not flexible enough, and it was easy to be avoided by the opponent. But at this time, the three of them moved together, and they could cover alternately, so they naturally did not risk being taken advantage of by the three men in front of them.
The three zhang were only instantaneous, and the three men in front of them also knew that there was no way to avoid it, so they had to rise up and wave their swords to meet the attack. It's just that one of the men's long sword has been broken, and his martial arts have not yet entered the realm of the white blade empty-handed, at this time, he used his fists and feet to face the long sword of the sharp-faced youth, and naturally fell into the downwind, and was slashed by his fast sword one after another, although it was not seriously injured, but it was also bloody, and it was painful.
After the two sides landed, they quickly fought. Between the sword light agitation, it is by no means a melee, but alternate cover, attacking and defending each other, implying the formation of discipline.
But the martial arts of the three men were obviously slightly inferior, and after a while, they were in danger one after another, and the formation of the joint forces gradually dispersed, and even in the end, they fought separately, and they were even more opponents.
Seeing this, the two men and one woman on the other side stepped up their offensive even more. After more than ten moves, the three men fell in a pool of blood one after another......
In the distance, among the mountains, a group of men in black clothes quietly lurked behind tree branches and artemisia grass, quietly peeking at the battle on the official road.
The emaciated young man led by a long knife hung from his waist, but the hideous scar on his face did not hide his shrewd and capable spirit at all, it was Qi Cong, who was newly promoted to the position of altar master a month ago. At this time, he was looking at the two men and one woman who won safely and thoughtfully, over the years, Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Cheng, and Senior Sister Ning's Huashan swordsmanship has really made great progress, and his martial arts have surpassed most of the altar masters and incense masters of the Demon Sect!
A subordinate next to him asked: "Altar master, I'm waiting to watch one of the altar masters and two incense masters in the sect die at the hands of the Huashan faction, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain when I return to Heimu Cliff, right?"
Qi Cong didn't look back, and said coldly: "What are you watching, obviously when we arrived, the three of them have been dead for a long time, and the corpses are cold...... Seeing that the three of Huashan turned around and left, he ordered again: "Go to a few people, carry the body of the altar master and the incense master, and we will go back to Heimu Cliff!"
Forced by Qi Cong's momentum, the big man who asked for instructions couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and immediately turned around to greet people.
The rules of the Demon Sect are strict, and the superiors can almost decide the life and death of the subordinates, and at this time, the subordinates beside Qi Cong are all his cronies, so naturally they will not be ignorant of current affairs, and they have to pull everyone to avenge the three altar masters and incense masters who are not very familiar with each other. What's more, they will feel that although their boss is valued by the sect leader and has the name of the altar master, they have not been able to get a good piece of land. Maybe it was because he fell in love with the altar owner's territory that he would not be saved...... In any case, this is a battle between the bosses, and it is not for them to meddle in at will, so it is better to forget about it as soon as possible!
..............................
Yue Buqun rode a horse and slowly advanced with the large army of Wuyue, and suddenly heard the familiar sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and knew that it was Ning Zhongze, who had gone to hunt down the three demon sect leaders.
Sure enough, after a while, the three horsemen appeared in the field of vision of the people in Wuyue one after another, and Ning Zhong took the lead, followed by Feng Buping and Cheng Buxian. Rushing to the front, the three of them set their horses and accompanied Yue Buqun, and Ning Zhong said excitedly: "Senior brother, this time we only used less than thirty moves to finish off those three demons!"
Cheng Buxian accosted him on the side: "Yes, yes, my sister's jade girl nineteen swords showed their might, and they killed the devil on their knees and begged for mercy......"
Yue Buqun shook his head and smiled: "Okay...... Stop boasting about yourself and let the brothers of the other four factions see the joke!"
At this time, Feng Buping leaned closer and whispered: "When I was fighting just now, I faintly noticed that someone was peeping...... It should be other masters of the Demon Sect, but for some reason, they sat back and watched us kill those three without making a move!"
Yue Buqun frowned, he couldn't figure out the trick for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there an abnormality in the direction of the Black Wood Cliff?"
Feng Buping replied: "I haven't seen the movement of the brigade!"
When Yue Buqun heard this, even if he was a little sure that he was cultivating the Great Law of Absorbing Stars, he couldn't help but be quite puzzled, even if he was flawless, but Dongfang Fan and Xiang Wentian were also practicing in retreat, right?
..............................
Qi Cong led his subordinates to hurry back to the Black Wood Cliff, and was informed by the people on duty at the hanging basket on the cliff that the sect leader had successfully exited the customs and was discussing with the left and right envoys and the altar masters and incense masters in Chengde Hall to meet the five mountains.
Qi Cong hurried to Chengde Hall, and as soon as he entered the gate, he happened to bump into anyone who wanted to go out and a group of altar owners and incense owners.
When saluting and worshipping, Qi Cong secretly looked at me and let me go, but I saw that his body was majestic and domineering even better than in the past, and his every move seemed to be full of vigor and vigor, and his face and skin were faintly flashing, and his eyes were also overflowing with brilliance between opening and closing, which made people dare not look directly.
This is clearly a multiplication of power, and it can't be controlled for a while, and the essence is exposed!
Qi Congqiang suppressed his horror, bowed his head and respectfully waited for the order of Ren Xing, but in his heart, he was secretly worried about Yue Buqun and other senior brothers. I only hope that when the battle is fought in the future, they must not crash into the hands of any of us, otherwise their lives will be lost.
Ren Xing was about to lead his troops to fight at this time, and he didn't want to delay too much, so he just asked Qi Cong about the death of the three altar masters and incense masters, and let him go to battle with him. Hurried all the way, to the place where the hanging basket on the edge of the cliff was, there were already oriental fans and nearly 1,000 elite sect members gathered to Wentian to welcome me as a leader.
They are all veterans who have been fighting on the rivers and lakes with our bank for many years, and they have heard that Wuyue has been attacking since the beginning of the month, and they have been like a bamboo all the way, and they have long been indignant, and even scolded those sect members in the branch altar for being waste, but they didn't have the order to let me do it, so they didn't dare to make too many mistakes. Now that I see that the teaching director is going to personally lead them into battle, everyone is full of fighting spirit, and the murderous aura of the division of a hundred battles immediately erupts, and the dark and strict formation is also daunting!
