Chapter 18: The Death of the Dragon King
Xiao Ziyang, who was peeping in the distance, sighed and stepped back lightly. With the sound of cheers, he slipped off the roof and retreated out of the inn.
Everyone in the Iron Dragon Martial Arts Hall was standing behind Zheng Xiaoyang, they didn't see it, the blood was gushing out of the hall master's seven orifices.
Before the cheers of the martial arts hall fell, Cao Tianhao's arrogant long laughter suddenly came out of the room.
With a long laugh, Cao Tianhao crashed into the house, and with the afterimage, he threw himself at Zheng Xiaoyang again.
The Ironback Dragon King did not pounce on his opponent with the momentum of a tiger as his subordinates imagined.
He stood in place, slightly awkwardly fending off his opponent's lightning-fast blade.
Three knives, the third knife, in Cao Tianhao's arrogant long laugh, the head of the iron-backed dragon king soared into the sky in the incredible eyes of everyone in the martial arts hall!
When the iron-backed dragon king's head flew into the sky, Xiao Ziyang had already withdrawn from the inn. When he saw blood gushing out of Zheng Xiaoyang's seven orifices, he already understood that he had been defeated, and at the same time, a wave of sorrow surged in his heart, which was also the sorrow of a foreign martial artist.
The iron-backed dragon king's external skills have reached the peak, except for some talented and innate people with divine power, who have practiced foreign kung fu to this point, they have reached the extreme realm, and there is no way forward.
But the master of the inner family, when he reaches this realm, there is still a long way to go.
The Ironback Dragon King seemed to be amazing just now, but in fact, when the two knives were handed over, he had already invaded his internal organs by the opponent's internal force and suffered internal injuries.
The bleeding of the seven orifices means that his internal injuries are deep and he has become a lamb to the slaughter!
Xiao Ziyang found out the Furui Inn, and on a necessary road to the city wall, he found a private house, sneaked in, and climbed onto the roof.
Xiao Ziyang opened the package, unfolded the folding bow he had just bought, and wound it well.
Then he took out the arrows one by one, and laid them on the ridge in front of him, so that they could be easily accessed.
After the last moment, Xiao Ziyang took out a round iron rod with a length of a foot and a diameter of an inch from his arms. It was one of the three items he had found from his parents' belongings that should never have been in his home.
Once, he inadvertently pressed one end of the iron rod, and with a soft snap, several objects popped out of the gap in the side of the iron rod, startling him.
After much research, he finally figured out what it was for. It turned out to be an extremely delicate hand crossbow!
Emerging from the gaps on either side of the rod is a crossbow arm, which can be caught and locked by simply moving the bow arm forward.
Ejecting from the underside of the rod was a three-inch-long iron box containing twenty-seven featherless bolts. Behind the iron box, near the end of the iron rod, is a handle dedicated to shaking hands.
In front of the iron box, there will be a small hole, the inner wall of the small hole is hexagonal, but I don't know what this small hole is used for.
He soon discovered that the crossbow, though extremely delicate, could not be wound and could not be used at all.
He studied it for a long time and deduced that the method of winding this crossbow should be related to the six-edged hole that was used for some unknown purpose.
He rummaged through the house again, and finally found something in the shape of a zigzag, made of stainless steel, and at one end of the zigzag there was a small hexagonal mouth half an inch long, which could fit into the strange hole in the crossbow.
He fiddled around again, and finally figured out that the zigzag steel thing was actually a winch. Put one end of the crossbow into the small hole in the crossbow and twist it to wind the crossbow.
This hand crossbow is no more than a foot in size, but the crossbow arrows it shoots are extremely powerful, and they are comparable to a ten-stone strong bow!
What's even more terrifying is that every shot of this crossbow is a shot of three arrows, and the finished glyph shoots out, and these three arrows are first and last, fast and slow, often first and last, and last to come!
That's not all, this little hand crossbow is still a repeating crossbow, which can fire three shots in a row, it is a first-class master, and it is extremely difficult to dodge at close range.
This crossbow is also the reason why he dared to pull out his teeth tonight and find trouble with Cao Tianhao.
Xiao Ziyang opened the crossbow, tied the crossbow string with a winch, tore off a piece of his clothes, covered his face, and quietly lay down on the roof.
Soon after, the shouts of killing in the Furui Inn gradually subsided. A breeze blew, and Xiao Ziyang smelled a faint smell of blood.
On the street in the distance, a figure walked slowly, closer, and by the light, Xiao Ziyang could see clearly that the people who came were a gang of horse thieves from the Iron Riding Club.
Xiao Ziyang carefully observed Cao Tianhao, who was walking in the front, and saw that he was covered in blood, but his steps were steady, and it seemed that his blood was someone else's.
At this time, his right hand was empty, hanging by his side, weak and powerless, obviously he was not lightly injured when he fought Zheng Xiaoyang just now.
The waist knife was held by him in his left hand, and Xiao Ziyang looked at his posture of holding the knife, obviously with a hint of jerky.
Xiao Ziyang smiled slightly.
Walking beside Cao Tianhao were Cao Tianjie and Cao Tianyu, and the bald man guarding the door surrounded the three of them with a few extremely strong horse thieves.
There were more than 20 horse thieves, all with blood stains on their bodies, and most of them were vigorous. Those who are injured also look like they don't care, and they are obviously bandits who are used to licking blood with knives.
Among the horse thieves, however, there were three women who were surrounded by several horse thieves.
The distance is still far away, and the sky is dark, he can't see the appearance of these three women clearly, just looking at the steps of these three people, they all have a deep foundation in martial arts.
Xiao Ziyang pondered: Why did this iron cavalry take three women with it when they fled for their lives? Could it be that this iron cavalry will offend Han Mobao and have something to do with these three women? They want to take these three women hostage?
He ambushed here, and he just wanted to take the opportunity to kill the second leader of the Iron Cavalry Society, and he had wished for many years. As for Cao Tianhao, he had seen this person's martial arts just now, and he had already put out his thoughts.
Seeing these three women, Xiao Ziyang changed his mind and wanted to save people first.
He put the crossbow head down, the handle up, leaned lightly against the ridge, and gently held the longbow, quickly and silently took an arrow from the ridge and bit it in his mouth, and then took four arrows, which were buckled between the fingers of his left hand holding the bow, and one arrow quickly rested on the string, and pulled the bow half full. It took him only two breaths to draw his first arrow and the time he drew his bow.
If any archery master sees Xiao Ziyang's series of actions, he will definitely be surprised; this is clearly a secret skill in the army, the starting style of continuous bead arrows.
His hand bead archery method is learned from his father-in-law Lei Da Dart, who joined the army when he was young and ate imperial food for several years, and the foundation of his foreign kung fu was laid in the army.
The horse thieves of the Iron Rider congregation approached gradually, thirty zhang, twenty zhang, ten zhang...... Xiao Ziyang suddenly straightened up, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...... The arrows broke through the air, and six arrows were shot out by him within a breath.
