Chapter 4: Seven Kills with Arrows

On a path leading to Beishan City, two horses, one black and one white, were rushing forward at a rapid pace.

On the white horse, the girl held a leather whip in her hand and was full of energy: "Uncle Kun, this time I must stay a few more days when I go home, so that I can accompany my father and his old man." ”

The middle-aged man on the black horse said: "You just have this filial piety, now the border is too chaotic, it's better to be careful." Back then, your father was afraid that he would affect you, so he sent you to Tianshan to study art......"

"Alright, alright! Uncle Kun is really wordy, you have told me hundreds of times!" The girl waved the whip in her hand, and the horse's speed suddenly increased a little, leaving the black horse behind.

"Alas, this girl ......."

The middle-aged man shook his head and hurriedly sped up to follow.

......

―――――――――――― the Imperial City of Kyoto, it is now a mess, and all the eunuchs and palace maids are anxious like ants on a hot pot, constantly searching for them in the entire palace......

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen has been walking here for nearly an hour. At this time, a eunuch hurriedly walked in, knelt on the ground and said, "Master......"

Chongzhen hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, didn't you find Yue'er?" ”

The eunuch lowered his head and said, "Back to the master, all the people in the imperial city have been searched, and no trace of the third princess and the little princess has been found." ”

Chongzhen was furious when he heard this, and said: "What are you all doing to eat, so many pairs of eyes, no one has found Yue'er and them leaving, what is the use of these eyes?"

"The master spares his life, the master spares his life......"

The eunuch was so frightened that his whole body trembled at this time, and he begged for mercy while kowtowing, and he wailed in his heart: "The third princess's martial arts are so powerful, how can we stand it!

Just when Chongzhen was about to give an order, Taifu Hengshan walked in and persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, the third princess is strong in martial arts, and it is naturally not difficult to hide from these eunuch guards and leave, why should you be angry with them." ”

Chongzhen looked at the eunuch on the ground, and snorted coldly: "It's really something that the group doesn't have!"

Heng Shan waved his hand to the eunuch and said, "You go down first." ”

"Thank you...... Emperor Xie, Lord Taifu Xie. ”

The eunuch's face was overjoyed, and he withdrew as if he had been granted amnesty.

......

After the eunuch left, Chongzhen sighed deeply and said, "As a father, I am too arbitrary. But as the king of a country, there are some things that you have to do!"

Heng Shan smiled and said: "The emperor's hard work, the third princess will definitely understand." I believe that this time I ran away from home, it was just a trouble, or it wouldn't be long before the third princess would come back. Moreover, the third princess has always been shrewd, and her martial arts have entered the first-class realm, so there will be no danger. ”

Chongzhen nodded, and his heart was slightly relieved: "I hope that's the case!"

Then he straightened his mind and said, "By the way, how are things going?"

Heng Shan said solemnly: "Things are ready, as long as the time is ripe, everything can be done according to the plan." ”

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter to you!"

"Yes!"

......

As soon as Hengshan left, the Qianqing Palace became quiet again.

Chongzhen was still a little relieved in his heart: "Yue'er is still young after all, even if she is strong in martial arts, it will be very dangerous!" Then he made a strange gesture in his hand, and then walked out of the darkness.

Chongzhen said lightly: "Let Long Wei secretly the third princess, don't come forward until she wants to come back." This time, let's let them go out for a walk!"

"Yes, my lord!"

In the dark corner, a cold voice came, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Chongzhen was the only one left in the main hall, and a glimmer of light flashed in his distant eyes.

......

Outside ―――――――――――― Shamen Pass, the two armies confronted each other, and on the central battlefield, a large area of flat land was vacated, which was the ring placed by Mo Zheng. The ring was rudimentary, with nothing but a boundary surrounded by knives.

On the city wall, Ren Xiangjun stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the black pressure below, his heart was a little heavy, and he said to Shen Tiance behind him: "Tiance, send someone to find out the news, can there be results?"

Shen Tiance said respectfully: "King Yusha, it's still the same as before, except for military training, there are no other abnormalities. ”

In the past month, Ren Xiangjun and the others have been unsure in their hearts, if it was before, Mo Zheng would have already set up a challenge in the ring, but it was actually postponed for a month. You know, the siege of the city and the land is about a single blow, but the enemy is so calm, how can this not make them suspicious.

Shen Tiance saw the worry in Ren Xiangjun's heart, so he said: "King Sha doesn't have to worry, King Luo and King Feng will send more people again, and they will arrive back soon." And as long as they win the ring, the morale of the whole army will be greatly boosted, and no matter what the enemy's intrigues and tricks are, it will be superfluous. ”

Hearing Shen Tiance's talk, Ren Xiangjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded lightly, and said, "Tell them to go up to 'Fengsha'!"

......

The door of Shacheng Pass slowly opened, and Shen Tiance led a group of warriors in light yellow suits to come over......

Mo Zheng saw these warriors from afar, his face suddenly became solemn, and Mr. Ning on the side squinted his eyes and said: "According to intelligence, these warriors are codenamed 'Fengsha', and they are dead soldiers trained by the three major forces, each of them is a first-class master, and their combined attack skills are extremely powerful, this time we may not have a chance to win in the ring." ”

Mo Zheng said: "We just need to delay their time and attention, even if we sacrifice." ”

At this time, a guard came up and said, "Boss, the enemy's military advisor Shen Tiance asks to see you." ”

......

Mo Zhen stepped forward and said with a smile: "I don't know what Shen Junshi is looking for this marshal?"

Shen Tiance arched his hand and said, "Marshal Mo! This is the person of my army. He pointed to a group of warriors behind him, and then said: "In order to save time, each side will send thirty people to fight at the same time, and we will compete against each other, I don't know what Marshal Mo wants?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Mo Zheng with provocative eyes, and his arrogant expression seemed to say: "I know you don't dare, just say it if you don't dare!"

This is a countermeasure that Ren Xiangjun and others have already thought of, they expected that in Mo Zheng's army, there would definitely not be so many masters to participate in the battle, coupled with the strength of their own group warfare skills, attacking the opponent's shortcomings with their own strengths, and then they would undoubtedly win.

Mo Zheng frowned, and said in his heart: "Anyway, our army has no good chance of sending thirty people to play, so why not let one person play, so there may be unexpected effects." Thinking of this, he immediately laughed: "Haha... Ha ha...... Since Your Excellency is so heroic, Ben Shuai naturally can't be stingy. Okay, just one game, this time the commander decided to send ......" said he looked around and adjusted everyone's tastes before he said slowly: "Just send a 'war maniac' to fight." ”

"What!" The whole battlefield suddenly exploded with a "boom!", and his expression was full of surprise and suspicion!

Seeing this, Mo Zheng felt a burst of pride in his heart, what he wanted was such an effect - to suppress people with power. Of course, the premise is that the person who fights cannot be kicked off as soon as he takes the stage, otherwise he will only become a laughing stock.

Shen Tiance saw Mo Zheng stealing the limelight like this, and secretly hated in his heart: "Hmph! I want to fight the 'wind and sand' by myself, I want to see how you end up then." ”

......

The ring surrounded by sabers was very wide, with a diameter of about 20 zhang. The thirty members of the 'Wind and Sand' group had already set up their positions in the ring, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Yue Fan slowly walked out of the team and walked forward step by step, not knowing whether it was heavy or steady.

The battle is about to begin......

......

―――――――――――― "This time, the boss has decided to send you alone in the 'Death Ring'. ”

"What is Death Ring?"

"In the ring, with one enemy and ten, there is no loss, only life and death. ”

"That's why you told me ahead of time because it's dangerous?"

"Yes!"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Nope!"

"So...... I will definitely come back alive. ”

"I'm sure you will. ”

"Thank you!"

......

―――――――――――― Yue Fan remembered what Dong Yu said to him yesterday, his heart was a little heavy, he had never seen Dong Yu behave so sluggishly in front of him!

Touching the small stone on his neck, Yue Fan walked forward firmly......

Although he had already been prepared, when he walked into the ring, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Didn't you say a group of ten people, why is there thirty people on the other side!?"

"Master!" A thought flashed through Yue Fan's mind, and he said secretly: "These thirty people are all murderous, it seems that the enemy is much stronger than imagined......

"What! Seven kills! They actually stepped on the seven kills. Yue Fan was taken aback. Li Yun once said to him that among the battlefield formations, the most murderous and strongest attack is the "Seven Killing Formations". This formation is based on the changes of the Big Dipper, combined with the actual combat on the battlefield, and the seven stars are indestructible.

Seeing this, Yue Fan smiled bitterly in his heart: "Damn! I didn't expect to encounter such a killing array today, it's really unlucky!" Then he straightened his spirit, and said coldly: "To retreat is to die, I can't die here......"

Not only Yue Fan, but even Mo Zheng and Ning Yuanqi were also shocked. They have been fighting for many years, and they can naturally see that the opponent's combined attack technique is the "Seven Killing Array".

"I didn't expect the other party to come out with the 'Seven Killing Array', it seems that the 'Battle Maniac' is more auspicious this time!" Ning Yuanqi sighed.

Mo Zheng's brows were also tightly twisted, and his eyes looked straight at the ring.

Shen Tiance slowly walked into the ring and announced: "In order to save time, the coaches of both sides decided to win or lose. The only rule in the game is to never die......"

"Wait!"

Everyone was stunned, and all of them heard the reputation.

Yue Fan said to Shen Tiance, "I want a bow!"

"Wow!" everyone around was dumbfounded!

Yue Fan was carrying three sabers on his body at this time, and he looked very twisted.

"This white-haired boy can't be an actor, right? Not only does he have three knives on him, but now he wants to use a bow, how can he fight with so many things?" everyone burst into laughter. Everyone knows that in a decisive battle in the ring, a long-range attack cannot be performed at all. It's too close, and by the time you pull the bow away, someone else will already cut it.

However, there was no rule in the ring that bows were not allowed, so Mo Zheng still asked someone to get a set of bows and arrows and handed them to Yue Fan.

......

"The battle begins!" With Shen Tiance's order, Yue Fan and the thirty dead soldiers of 'Wind and Sand' moved at the same time. The difference was that the thirty dead soldiers of 'Wind and Sand' rushed forward in unison, while Yue Fan suddenly turned around and ran backwards.

"Could it be that this kid is going to run away?!" Just when everyone thought that Yue Fan was going to run away, the next series of changes were unbearable for them......

Yue Fan already had a calculation in his heart: "In order to maintain the formation, the enemy's movement speed is naturally very slow, as long as I don't enter the formation and attack from a distance with arrows, then the chances of victory will be a few points higher." ”

Speed is Yue Fan's strong point, so after running in a straight line for four or five steps, he pulled the distance away by ten zhang. Then he kicked his feet, and suddenly jumped five or six feet high.

In mid-air, Yue Fan skillfully took out the longbow, put on the arrow, and pulled it away the moment his body paused in the air. He seemed to have a special sense of the bow and arrow, and although he hadn't touched the bow and arrow for so long, the familiar feeling and skill had not degraded.

"Go!"

Yue Fan shouted loudly and put the bowstring down violently......

"What a quick move!"

Everyone exclaimed!

I saw that the arrow flashed away like a meteor, and when it reappeared, it had been deeply inserted into the throat of a "wind and sand" dead soldier.

Just now, he thought that Yue Fan was going to escape, but in the blink of an eye, he put a dead soldier to death. It all came so suddenly, so easily. The huge contrast made everyone unable to adapt, and for a while the battlefield became extremely quiet, and everyone looked at the ring in amazement......

"What a powerful arrow!"

Mo Zheng and Ning Yuanqi looked at each other, and a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Mo Zheng said: "It's the first time I've seen a 'war madman' use a bow and arrow, and I didn't expect it to be so powerful. If it were me, I might not have been able to avoid this arrow without preparation! It seems that I still know too little about him. ”

Ning Yuanqi also said: "It's not just archery. Boss, you see, the arrow of 'War Mania' shot one of the main stars of the 'Seven Killing Array', Xuanji Star. ”

Mo Zheng was stunned, looked towards the ring, and muttered: "Sure enough, it's the Xuanji Star Position, it can't be a coincidence!"

"It shouldn't be a coincidence, since the 'War Maniac' chose to fight far away with a bow and arrow, it seems that he had a plan from the beginning, it's really not easy!" Ning Yuanqi affirmed.

On the city wall, Ren Xiangjun and Shen Tiance were also shocked, and they also didn't see the trajectory of the arrow just now. And they naturally knew that this set of 'Seven Killing Arrays' was focused on the Seven Main Stars, but it was really a coincidence that one of them died as soon as they came on the field?

Ren Xiangjun frowned and said, "Let's see the situation." ”

......

Yue Fan knew that the opponent's martial arts were strong this time, and if it was an ordinary arrow, it would naturally not be able to hurt the enemy, so he moved in his heart, mobilized part of his vitality to attach it to the arrow, and then shot it.

The members of "Wind and Sand" are all excellent dead soldiers, they have experienced countless life-and-death battles on the battlefield, and naturally they will not underestimate any enemy, even children. Therefore, they did not despise the person in front of them because he was a teenager. It's just that Yue Fan's arrow just now came too fast and too fiercely, and it didn't give them any chance to react at all.

The fall of one of the dead soldiers of "Wind and Sand" did not affect the speed of the other members' progress, and their gray eyes showed a faint death breath, as if they were lifeless.

The danger is getting closer.

......

Twenty miles west of ―――――――――――― Sand City, on a rugged mountain road, a team of men and horses was resting.

"Iron Blood, we can reach Shacheng in half an hour, we need to hurry. Xu Jie stood on the hill and watched the road ahead.

Dong Yu looked at the saber in his hand, nodded slightly, and said to the team behind him: "All personnel...... Keep going!"

"Wait!" Huang Zhenfeng said suddenly: "There is the sound of horses' hooves on the road behind!"

Dongyu was stunned for a moment, and asked solemnly, "How many people?"

Huang Zhenfeng said: "Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, it should be two people." ”

“......”

Dongyu pondered for a moment and said, "This time the stakes are very high, and there must be no mistakes. Since there is a situation, you go first, and I will stay alone to check the situation, and with my speed, I believe that I will be able to catch up soon. ”

"Well, then be careful yourself!" Xu Jie patted Dongyu on the shoulder.

Huang Zhenfeng also nodded, and then said to everyone: "Let's go!"

......

After watching the team leave, Dongyu quickly hid in a hidden place and waited quietly.

......

―――――――――――― the ring, seeing the enemy approaching quickly, Yue Fan could no longer use his bow and arrows, so he could only run desperately. And in order to balance the formation, the speed of the "Wind and Sand" dead soldiers was naturally not very fast, and this ring was big enough, so it gave Yue Fan room to move, otherwise he would have been besieged by the dead soldiers in the formation.

......

Suddenly, the formation of the dead man changed!

"Seven Star Transposition!"

Yue Fan was stunned, and immediately reflected, so he kept changing direction and moving.

The Seven Stars Shift is a variation of the Seven Kills that expands the range of attacks, but also weakens a lot of defense. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have been trapped a long time ago. And the position where Yue Fan ran was the "battle formation position" taught by Li Yun, which was specially used to break through the encirclement of the enemy formation. Thinking of Li Yun, Yue Fan always felt a deep sense of gratitude in his heart, but now was not the time to remember......

Sure enough, the distance was pulled away in a few clicks, and when he was seven or eight zhang away, Yue Fan's body turned violently, and in an instant, he raised his bow, set up an arrow, pulled a string, and released an arrow in one go, and every movement looked so coordinated and natural.

"Z!"

An arrow through the throat......

"The second. ”

Yue Fan remembered silently in his heart!

......

"Z!"

Another dead man was shot through the eye......

"The third. ”

......

Outside the ring, Mo Zheng smiled and said, "I thought I knew better, but now it seems that we still underestimate this war maniac." ”

Ning Yuanqi on the side bowed his head and said: "Breaking the formation with arrows, it seems that the 'battle madness' does not know the battlefield formation below me." ”

Mo Zheng was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Mr. Ning is a master of the art of war, how can this kid compare with you." ”

Ning Yuanqi shook his head and said, "The reason why the 'Seven Killing Array' is called the strongest attack formation is because his attacks are varied, making it impossible to guard against. However, the premise of the attack is to fight with the enemy. He looked at Mo Zheng and continued: "And the 'war madness' chose a bow and arrow to stand far away, which shows that he has already seen the enemy's formation. Looking at the footwork he used to deal with the change of formation just now, I am sure that his understanding of the formation is by no means below mine. ”

"......" Mo Zheng looked at the ring thoughtfully.

Every time Yue Fan released an arrow, he shot a person to death, and such an efficient kill made everyone feel shocked. Of course, they knew that the dead soldiers in the ring were all first-class masters who had been cultivated by the three major forces for many years. But now that he was killed so easily, it really made Ren Xiangjun and the others a little unbearable: "Is it difficult that this kid is really so strong?"

In fact, it's not that Yue Fan is too strong, it's just that he is too lucky. If it weren't for the fact that he happened to know the "Seven Killing Array", I was afraid that he would have fallen into a bitter battle at the beginning. This, combined with his superhuman physical strength, allowed him to fight his enemies for so long. But luck is a part of strength after all, if it weren't for his hard training since childhood, it would be useless to have good luck.

......

In a moment's time, Yue Fan had already shot five people in a row, each of whom was critically injured, and he didn't even have a chance to dodge.

On the city wall, Ren Xiangjun looked gloomy and said coldly: "Change the formation immediately, I want to see how this white-haired boy escapes." ”

"Yes!" After Shen Tiance received the order, he kept waving the order flag on the city wall.

Yue Fan, who was running, was about to raise his bow again, but suddenly, the formation of all the dead soldiers changed, and they all threw themselves around the ring. Then he quickly rushed towards him, and the speed was obviously much faster than just now.

"Scattered Star Array!"

Mo Zheng and Ning Yuanqi were stunned at the same time.

The "Scattered Star Array" is a common formation on the battlefield, although the attack power is not strong, but the victory is that the attack range is wide enough, and it is scattered but not chaotic.

Of course, Yue Fan knew this formation, and he didn't have time to curse, so he immediately shot an arrow......

"Z!", another dead man fell.

This time, Yue Fan did not run again, but dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, drew a saber and met him......

"Bang!" Yue Fan's saber just came into contact with the dead soldier's weapon, and it suddenly burst open. Countless blades flew and struck at the dead soldiers in all directions......

The sudden change made the "Wind and Sand" dead man have no time to react, his face, throat, eyes and other parts were all blades, and even Yue Fan himself had blades inserted on his arms and chest.

"This ...... What's going on!"

Everyone was shocked, from the formation to the saber bursting, and then killed the two dead soldiers, just in the blink of an eye, there was such a change, making everyone's nerves sluggish.

"What does he want to do!"

Mo Zheng and the others were also puzzled in their hearts, they didn't understand how a good knife could suddenly be violent?

At the moment when the saber was shattered, Yue Fan once again pulled out a saber from behind him and began a real attack......

At this time, Mo Zheng and the others suddenly realized: "It turns out that he deliberately shattered the knife just now to seize the opportunity...... What a powerful tactic!" secretly exclaimed in his heart.

In the center of the ring, the sky was full of sword shadows, and the dead man and Yue Fan were entangled together, and there was a crackling sound of weapons hitting in the field, which made the people around him frightened.

Although "Seven Styles of Knife Fighting" only has seven moves, it has countless changes, especially on the battlefield, and its strengths can be brought into play. In order to facilitate the distinction, Yue Fan named each knife technique according to its artistic conception: "No Hui Style", "Wan Jun Style", "Random Attack Style", "Wild Dance Style", "Angry Battle Style", "Life and Death Style", and "Reincarnation Style".

In the battle, Yue Fan is the "wild dance style" used, and this knife style is important in group battles. He still didn't know how the enemy was attacking, so he chose to go defensive at the beginning.

At this time, Yue Fan was facing all first-class masters, and he not only felt pressure in his heart, but also felt a breath of death......

......

"What should I do? Now the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, if it goes on like this, you will definitely die!"

Although Yue Fan used the "Wild Dance Style" to the extreme, he still couldn't completely resist the enemy's attack, after all, the sword technique needed to be honed in actual combat.

"Zi!" Suddenly, under the enemy's dense attack like a net, Yue Fan was stabbed in the arm......

Ten Knife ......

Twenty Knife ......

As the knife technique became more and more proficient, the chance of Yue Fan being injured became smaller and smaller. However, he lasted half an hour, and now he is gradually feeling exhausted.

These dead soldiers, both in terms of attack strength and reaction speed, are much stronger than ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, which is simply a gap between quality and quantity. And the cooperation between them is very tacit, and the technique of joint attack is even more difficult. After fighting for so long, Yue Fan can only defend and not attack until now.

Yue Fan's whole body was covered in blood, his white hair was scattered and flying, and there was no place for his clothes to be intact. But his face was calm, his eyes were firm and unyielding, and the sword in his hand did not decrease at all, resisting the enemy's attack to the death. Such a scene makes the hearts of people outside the audience excited.

What is a man, do not bow to death, do not succumb to fate, and use blood and sweat to forge the strength in his heart.

......
