Chapter 86: Three Arrows Decide the Outcome
Xu Zishuai touched the large bow, shook the arrow quiver, and took out an arrow that was pitch black all over.
He stood straight, stared at the battlefield, and pulled open the large bow.
On the ground, the entire Zhao Prefecture had been turned into ruins by the airflow of the two people fighting.
The surging blood-Qi rose and rolled like wolf smoke. Under the moonlight, it seemed as if a pack of wolves were galloping, and the momentum was terrifying.
Just watching from the roof a hundred meters away, Liang Qu felt his chest blocked.
This was already because the two were controlling their strength and tilting it toward each other. It was hard to imagine how much damage they could cause if they let go.
The half-foot-thick stone ground was trampled into powder, the large pillar picked up at will was broken at the waist, wood thorns shot out, piercing into the ground and turning into black holes.
The yellow mud ground was rammed as hard as bricks one second, and trampled into soft sand the next.
The rolling smoke and dust mixed with shock waves, making this invisible thing visible to the naked eye, which was terrifying.
Huang Zejun fought more and more arduously, and his chest was blocked severely.
Fighting across realms was not easy. Even if it was only across a small realm, the gap was still not small.
He was not a defective product who swallowed fetal pearl elixirs; he was an elite cultivated by the sect. This was also his confidence in choosing to preside over the blood sacrifice alone, knowing that Lu Gang was still there.
But Lu Gang gave him a siege hammer without any preparation as soon as he came up. No one could bear it. He felt that he might have broken a few ribs.
His surging blood-Qi seemed to have found a vent, and he couldn't exert any strength at all. The more he fought, the more frightened he became, and he just wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Huang Zejun secretly lifted his Qi, aimed at a direction, and was about to jump.
Before he could rush out, the whistling of the feathered arrow had already rushed toward his face. He could almost feel the airflow stirred up by the arrow cluster.
Huang Zejun lowered his head suddenly, and the arrow brushed past his hair, cutting off a few strands.
He broke out in a cold sweat. The precision of that arrow was impeccable, but unfortunately, the strength was insufficient, so he escaped death.
But just as Huang Zejun was rejoicing, he saw the iron fist coming toward him.
No, that's not right!
The other party's purpose was not to kill, but to force him to lower his head!
Lu Gang swung his arm and hit Huang Zejun's side face accurately. The force exploded, penetrated his body, and his entire waist rotated.
All the blood-Qi was stimulated at this moment, like a long rainbow piercing the sun, roaring into Huang Zejun's head, holding his head and smashing it toward the ground.
Huang Zejun felt his entire cranial cavity vibrating like a struck bronze bell, and blood sprayed from his nose and mouth at the same time.
His head was hit so hard that it was almost separated from his cervical spine, his body balance was completely broken, and his entire head was planted into the yellow mud ground like an inverted onion. The immense inertia buried even his shoulders halfway.
Xu Zishuai took the opportunity to pull the bow into a full moon, and the bow arms creaked.
Bang!
Huang Zejun's ears felt like thunder, but he didn't have time to react. Fortunately, the archer's strength was limited. With the strength of the previous arrow, if it didn't hit a vulnerable part, it wouldn't be enough to...
All the pores on his body closed suddenly, and a great sense of horror rose from his heart, but before he could twist his waist and boost his blood-Qi.
The arrow turned into a flying light, penetrating his body.
A round hole the size of a copper coin penetrated Huang Zejun's entire body from front to back, completely destroying his entire kidney.
The arrow was nailed to the ground, and the arrow feathers buzzed.
Severe pain attacked his heart, Huang Zejun's brain was blank, and all the nerves in his body were trembling.
How could this be?
On the roof, Liang Qu was amazed by Cao Shixiong Xu's two arrows.
The first arrow, Xu Zishuai imitated Hu Qi's strength, deepened Huang Zejun's wrong impression, and at the same time blocked the movement, giving Cao Shixiong Lu a chance.
The second arrow, after Cao Shixiong Lu succeeded, truly exploded with the full strength of the Galloping Horse peak, and launched a killing move when he was caught off guard!
It was the same bow, but Cao Shixiong Xu's archery was a medium-grade martial art, which could not be mentioned in the same breath.
If he had gone all out at the beginning, not only would Cao Shixiong Lu not have succeeded, but the arrow itself might have been avoided!
The first arrow was just a trap, and the fatal second arrow attacked when Huang Zejun was completely relaxed!
Even the first arrow had already taken into account the factors of the arrow Cao Shixiong Hu had previously shot.
Liang Qu suddenly felt that he was still too young, and there were many things to learn.
"Wheeze."
Severe pain spread throughout his body.
Huang Zejun's nose bridge was completely broken and could no longer be used for breathing, so he could only make a wheezing sound with his throat.
Lu Gang took advantage of the victory and stepped on his neck.
Huang Zejun seemed to be able to hear the wailing of the cartilage in his neck. Only the spine was left to support him, and there was a sweet, fishy smell of blood everywhere. He opened his mouth numbly, but could only pour in a large amount of yellow soil.
Chest bone broken, internal organs damaged, neck almost broken.
The outcome was decided.
Lu Gang pulled Huang Zejun out, stepped on his lower leg bone, and broke his arm bone.
Confirming that the other party's limbs were all useless and he had lost the ability to resist, Hu Qi jumped down from the roof and handed over an iron chain glowing with blue light.
Blue Steel Chain, specifically for binding Wolf Smoke martial artists.
Lu Gang lifted Huang Zejun's thigh, threw him on the ground, and used the chain to bind his broken hands and feet.
Liang Qu approached and found that Huang Zejun's nose bridge was completely broken, red, swollen, and bleeding, and the small hole in his abdomen was bubbling with blood, but his chest was still rising and falling steadily.
Even though he had suffered such heavy injuries, there was no sign of dying at all.
With such injuries, no ordinary person could bear it.
But the vitality of a Wolf Smoke martial artist was so powerful, the blood-Qi was misty and a zhang high, and just the momentum could make one's hair stand on end; he was completely like an immortal cockroach.
He only needed to find an ordinary physician to help connect the bones, and he would be alive and kicking in less than a month.
No, a Wolf Smoke martial artist couldn't regenerate severed limbs. That kidney was probably ruined, but didn't people have two? He could still live.
"What should we do next?" Xu Zishuai asked.
Lu Gang thought for a moment: "First go to the martial arts hall to find Junior Brother Xiang, then we will go to find the Master's wife together. Both of them should be very worried. After reporting that we are safe, we will rest for one night, and the next day we will go to deal with the buried mountain ghosts.
After everything is dealt with, the Master and the others should be back. Then we'll see if the County Magistrate has any problems. If there are problems, we will report to the prefecture. If there are no problems, we will leave it to the County Magistrate."
Worried that Zhao Hongyuan was deceiving them, they divided into three groups when formulating the plan.
Lu Gang and Hu Qi went to find Huang Zejun, one attacking and one harassing.
Xu Zishuai and Liang Qu went to find the ferryman.
With the ferryman's strength, Liang Qu alone was enough, but everyone was worried about any backup plans, or secrets that even Zhao Hongyuan didn't know, so they let Xu Zishuai accompany him.
If the ferryman was strong, it was naturally foolproof; if the ferryman was weak, they would quickly capture him and turn back to support Lu Gang.
Xiang Zhangsong stayed at the martial arts hall to support in case of any accidents.
Liang Qu couldn't help but think of the days when he used to play games with his classmates. It was also like this: four gods bringing one rookie, and they could still win every time and open treasure chests every time.
It's really good to have a big tree to lean on.
No danger, all benefits.
Following the senior brothers, Liang Qu shouldered the long spear and carried the dwarf toward the martial arts hall.
The street was deserted, and the fallen leaves were rolled by the wind from left to right, rubbing against the stone slabs and making a rustling sound.
Liang Qu was quite hungry, but he couldn't even find anyone doing night market business. Every household closed their doors and windows, all frightened by the great battle in the Zhao Prefecture.
That was right; whoever saw a three-entry courtyard become ruins in the blink of an eye would be afraid.
Arriving at the martial arts hall and picking up Xiang Zhangsong, the group went to the Yang Prefecture, passed through three courtyards, and waited in the hall for the Master's wife, Xu.
The maid on night duty poured tea one by one and brought some snacks.
Liang Qu was hungry and silently ate most of them, only to see Xu yawning and walking out from the corridor, with the old face Nandi beside her.
He took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth and was about to stand up to salute, but when he looked up, he saw Xu turn around and go back.
Went back...
What does that mean?
Liang Qu touched the back of his head and found that the senior brothers were also confused.
A moment later, Nandi appeared again, bowed and said: "The Madam said that she doesn't want to see you young masters with such a bloody smell. If there's nothing urgent, go take a bath first."
After a pause, Nandi added: "I've already asked the servants to boil water. You young masters, wait a moment." ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
