Chapter 174: Ji You's Arrows and Swords

The barbarian race is a race mixed with different human tribes, and does not have too many identical cultural and spiritual foundations.

In the eyes of the human race who have no outsiders, even their own internal factions are numerous and the opposition is obvious. How can such a mixed race be united and powerful? It is simply wishful thinking.

But in fact, the barbarian race only used the goal of 【Attacking back to the nine continents and seeing the blue sky again】 to rapidly accelerate the integration and unification of the race.

One realm apart, but a hundred miles.

The south is vast and fertile, but under their feet, not a blade of grass grows, and poisonous things are rampant.

The barbarian tribes in the Ten Thousand Mountains really want to go back and see the blue sky.

Thus, counterattacks were constant, the Cold Iron Pass was repeatedly raided, and the confrontation lasted for a thousand years.

Many people don't understand why the barbarians have to fight if they can't break in, but in fact, they use constant war to bind the race into a piece of iron, where needles cannot be inserted and water cannot be splashed.

Thus, the barbarians condensed from top to bottom under the constraints of the military system.

This development process, mixed with blood and tears, war and fire, is diametrically opposite to that of the human race.

In the eyes of the human race, accurate transmission from top to bottom is a difficulty no less than ascending to immortality.

Just like collecting tax and tribute every year, the amount received by the Great Xia treasury, after layers of corruption, is always much less than the number in each state and county.

So at the beginning, the Immortal Supervision Bureau did not think that there would be such efficient communication among the barbarians.

A slight disappearance of soldiers would alarm the high-level, which the human race could not understand, but it was achieved by the barbarians.

This is no longer the race that was cowardly and afraid of war in the ancient times, only caring about fleeing for their lives.

It can be seen that extreme poverty can indeed change a person's life, regardless of character or conduct.

On the bumpy carriage, Ji You lifted the window curtain, constantly looking at the dark night outside the window while flying with the carriage, and suddenly found the commonality between himself and the barbarians.

He also ate wild vegetables for three years in Yuyang County, saw the corpses strewn across the field and the graves of living people all over the mountains, and only then did he have an impulse to kill everything in his heart, feeling that it didn't matter if he died.

Saving Qiu Ru is like this, going to Qiling is like this, and drawing his sword to kill toward the Fengzhou government office is also like this.

Ji You narrowed his eyes, feeling countless breaths approaching this side, followed by the sound of horse hooves, from far to near.

Before long, countless barbarians galloping on horses had already appeared on the left, right, and rear sides of the carriage train.

In the whistling cold wind, the rough hair of those people kept flying, and in those dark blue pupils was murderous intent.

Bend the bow, nock the arrow.

Hum!

The sharp sound of breaking through the air resounded through the dead night sky, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, and the originally quiet night boiled in an instant.

The overwhelming rain of arrows rushed from all directions, like a black tide, each arrow leaving the string wrapped in the momentum of going forward, and the sharp arrowheads flickered with cold light in the night.

The barbarians are innately gifted with divine power, and the strong bows are also specially made according to their own strength.

In an instant, the violent spiritual energy whistled under the carriage, rising suddenly toward the arrows flying over.

Amidst the clanging sound, the violent impact sound rang out continuously.

In the dazzling spiritual light, the arrows were bounced away one after another, but the heavy impact still shook the carriage violently, swaying left and right, like a lonely boat in a stormy sea.

Countless envoys looked solemn, grabbing the carriage and feeling uneasy.

Sure enough, Deputy Supervisor Peng Dongyang's prediction was not wrong; they were indeed exposed.

In just half a night, the barbarians began to constantly search based on the area where the soldiers disappeared. The scouts in the east, west, north, and south directions, after smelling the vague direction, gathered toward this place without prior consultation, and then met!

The moment the arrows were bounced away, the sound of breaking through the air rang out suddenly.

At this time, Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai, who had gone ahead to explore the road, drifted back, landing on the carriage at the very front in a burst of spiritual energy, their light gauze skirts swaying in the wind.

"Only the nearby scouts are chasing. They had been wandering around early on. When we set off, they happened to be gathering here. It seems that the wind leaked because of the disappearance of the soldiers. The previous judgment should be correct."

"We explored the route of travel, and the highest should only be the upper soldier realm. It is estimated that there are more than twenty, and the others are middle soldier realm and lower soldier realm."

"The southwest direction has the most people, while the west side is close to the barbarian camp, and the risks are extremely high."

According to the capture of the delegation's location by the disappearance of soldiers, this method is just as said before, not accurate, and not timely.

So before the exact location is exposed, the stronger combat power of the barbarians cannot arrive in time.

And the current encounters are all barbarian soldiers in the soldier realm, so they still have a chance. If they can shake off these pursuing soldiers, perhaps they can enter a hidden state again.

Peng Dongyang looked at several elders and said: "Go east first, try to shake off the pursuers, and then detour northwest to continue toward the Snow Territory."

Several other elders released their spiritual sense at this time, looking toward the rear where the carriage was galloping: "If you want to shake them off, you must first go to solve those pursuers, and don't leave them a chance to gather, so as not to be surrounded."

"Makes sense."

"Then, kill without mercy."

Boom!

A loud noise wrapped in the sound of shattering, like thunder.

Several figures suddenly rushed out of the carriages on the left and right wings, and the spiritual energy instantly whistled and gathered toward this side like a sea wave.

Brother Brother Gongshu Chou was the first to rise, the light of the Dao sword in his hand shining brilliantly. He saw a barbarian covered in heavy iron armor leap from horseback, his long spear striking like a dragon emerging from the sea, piercing forward with a whistling wind.

With a "shush" sound, the gun and sword collided fiercely, and the violent air waves rushed toward the surroundings like a surging tide.

At the same time, Jiang Chenfeng, Huo Hong, Chu Butian, Tu Xu, Jiang Yue rou, Xiao Hanyan, Shi Junhao, and others, with spiritual light flickering around them, like banished immortals, turned back one after another, facing those barbarians galloping on horses with great momentum.

Under the cover of the night, the collision of ironware sparked dazzling sparks.

Brother Brother Gongshu Chou shook his sword and fought fiercely, lifting the long spear with sharp sword momentum, and the sword energy toward the sky was about to fall with a roar between his hands.

However, just at this critical moment, a dull humming sound suddenly rang from his right side, making his pupils shrink, and he immediately retracted his sword, leaned to the side, and retreated.

More than a dozen arrows with vigorous energy suddenly attacked under the cover of the night.

That barbarian in the upper soldier realm who followed behind had all the middle soldier realm soldiers holding bows and arrows, pouring innate divine power into the arrows, and the breath was simply terrifying.

The human race realizes the Heavenly Dao, the spells are exquisite, and the temperament is like an immortal.

But if the strength is strong to the extreme, it can eventually break the law.

There was even a barbarian with two arms on his back, holding a black bow with both hands, and pulling the bowstring like a full moon with the other two hands, which was so fierce that it made people want to curse!

What is more critical is that the years of war have made these barbarians cooperate tacitly, and the ability to coordinate operations is even more terrifying.

Brother Brother Gongshu Chou's sword waves overlapped, and with the powerful sword strength, he shook off the arrows attacking in front of him. But before he could catch his breath, the iron spear whistled again with biting wind, stabbing over like a ghost.

But just at this moment, an arrow wrapped in rich spiritual energy flew out suddenly from three inches above his left shoulder, going forward without looking back.

With a bang, the barbarian holding the iron spear was directly shaken until his tiger's mouth was numb, and he suddenly grinned, and the rhythm of the thrust was directly interrupted.

At this time, Ji You was already standing on the top cover of the carriage, holding a strong bow, pulling the bowstring like a full moon, and the power hidden in the bulging muscles of his arms seemed to be enough to tear everything apart.

The next moment, another arrow flew out of his hand, fiercely nailing through the skull of the warhorse under the barbarian.

Even the neighing sound of mourning was not heard, and the galloping horse collapsed with a bang, drowned by the retreating night.

There has always been a bow in his storage gourd, the most expensive bow in the Qionghua Pavilion.

This bow was given to him by Yan Shuyi for self-defense when he went to Qiling.

At first, he used this bow to shoot and kill many evil seeds, but he never encountered any big scenes of multi-person melee again, so he never took it out to use it again until this moment.

He didn't know why Brother Brother Gongshu Chou had always been kind to him, but using the Spirit Sword Mountain's bow to help the Spirit Sword Mountain's people could be considered reasonable and legal.

At this time, Ji You drew an arrow again, golden light flourishing in his eyes, but a trace of reluctance and heartache was hidden in his eyes.

The arrow shot while flying should not be able to be picked back...

"As expected of you who almost killed me!"

"Good arrow!"

Brother Brother Gongshu Chou roared excitedly, then went away with his sword, directly slashing the barbarian holding the spear away, and then killed down with a roar.

And this shout of his also instantly attracted other practitioners in the Realm of Merging with the Dao who were fighting.

They had the same encounter as Brother Brother Gongshu Chou. Even if the upper soldier realm barbarian opposite was only at the strength of the Upper Realm of Profound Understanding, the sturdy physical body made it extremely difficult for them to be broken through in a short time.

Thus, countless arrows with terrifying energy would whistle through the wind between every exchange, making them extremely distracted.

And as this "good arrow" of Brother Brother Gongshu Chou resounded, everyone couldn't help but glance sideways, and saw Ji You bending his bow and nocking an arrow on the carriage.

Whoosh!

The arrow left his hand, and the bowstring shook violently.

The warhorse opposite fell in response, and the middle soldier realm barbarian who was still bending his bow instantly fell to the ground, disappearing into the retreating night.

Because of Ji You's help with the bow and arrow, even if the barbarian holding the spear was physically strong, he was slashed with blood on his chest at this moment, and was slashed away with a sword before he could raise the spear to stab again.

And at this time, Ji You had already drawn his bow again, and suddenly shot through the warhorse under the pursuer again.

The barbarian who fell off the horse and was covered in sand and soil roared to the sky, looking at the carriage galloping away and the war comrades who were constantly pursuing, baring his sharp fangs with a hideous face.

Then he gripped the arrow on the horse's head and pulled it angrily, intending to chase after it and use it to stab those humans to death, but his face changed drastically when he used force.

That arrow didn't just penetrate his horse, but also nailed the horse's head directly to the ground.

And in the pursuit, Jiang Chenfeng, Huo Hong, Jiang Yue rou, Xiao Hanyan, Shi Junhao, and others saw him firing arrows one after another, helping Brother Brother Gongshu Chou kill and retreat the barbarians, their expressions were different.

"I thought that after the whereabouts were exposed, this Realm of Profound Understanding would have no use, but I didn't expect him to have a bow..."

"Good bow..."

"It seems that he also did enough work before coming, and the tricks he prepared were quite a lot, both swords and bows, which can be considered to slightly make up for the weakness of low realm. If he is not approached, he might be able to survive the whole way."

Amidst the collision of ironware, Shi Junhao killed and retreated an upper soldier barbarian, and saw dozens of strong arrows rushing toward him, so he could only temporarily give up the opportunity to break his physical body and float in the air to dodge.

And in the process of dodging, he looked at Ji You, who was pulling the bow like a full moon, and felt unhappy in his heart.

In their view, as a Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciple, this Ji You should cooperate with himself with a strong bow in hand. Unexpectedly, he was helping that Spirit Sword Mountain disciple.

And Xiao Hanyan had the same thoughts. During the melee, he scolded Ji You several times, but the other party had no reaction, and anger rose in his brow.

Ji You in the melee was expressionless, with nothing outside his heart. The spiritual energy accumulated in his hands kept swaying on the bowstring, and the rhythm of pulling the string became faster and faster, and the sound of the bowstring breaking was endless.

He is only one person, no matter how fast he is, once dispersed, it will have no effect at all.

And the first priority now is to get rid of the pursuit of these barbarians, so that they lose the direction of pursuit, so as not to attract the main force to gather here.

So he didn't try to shoot and kill the barbarians, but prioritized shooting and killing the horses that were easier to die.

The barbarians have a chance to block the arrows, which is far less efficient than shooting and killing the horses.

Ji You frowned and drew his bow again, and an arrow shot out, directly tearing the gale in front of him, and fiercely pierced through.

But just at this moment, under the silent night, two hideous figures suddenly soared into the air, pouncing from his sides.

They were temporarily changing directions, but the barbarian pursuers were not all from the rear.

There were also some barbarian cavalry who were searching on both sides. They chased after them, and from afar, they saw a figure constantly pulling the bow on the carriage, and people and horses were overturned wherever the arrow pointed, so they were murderous, and leaped into the air from the horse's back.

And the first one to see this scene was not Ji You.

Because he was bending his bow, constantly firing arrows outward, shooting and killing horses while supporting Brother Brother Gongshu Chou who was constantly swinging his sword.

So the first one to see this scene was actually Jiang Chenfeng, Jiang Yue rou, Huo Hong, who were on his sides, as well as Xiao Hanyan and Shi Junhao of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

Not being approached, the Realm of Profound Understanding might be able to survive the whole way, this is everyone's judgment.

After all, every time he went out to kill the enemy before, Ji You would appear very embarrassed.

This shows that he could indeed win against an upper soldier realm barbarian, but he won dangerously.

And now the ones pouncing over are two upper soldier realm barbarians.

But Jiang Chenfeng and others did not take action to help, but continued to fully break through the barbarian soldiers in front of them, even Xiao Hanyan and Shi Junhao, who were also in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, were the same.

"Shaking off the barbarian pursuit is the heavy responsibility."

"Don't understand why the Realm of Profound Understanding wants to join in this fun."

"I have long seen his reluctance to hold on, and this trip will become more and more dangerous in the future. We can't always take action to help him. It's better not to have such a burden."

"Standing on the top of the carriage, it is too conspicuous..."

The night was deep, and the distracting thoughts around were like thick ink, surging wantonly.

The prodigies couldn't help but look sideways, as if they had already seen a fall of blood spilling into the sky.

But what was unexpected was that just as those two barbarians arrived, a loud and sharp sword energy suddenly soared into the sky, instantly tearing the endless night, and fiercely fell toward the two barbarians who took the opportunity to kill, and the strong sword energy whistled across the sky.

【Dao Sword · Small Overlapping Mountains】

With a muffled thud, the two barbarians who had come with blades were pressed down by force, their hovering figures dropping by three inches, their iron blades trembling.

Suddenly, the stunned crowd saw that the figure who had been standing on the top of the carriage suddenly had boiling sword intent, and in an instant, he floated into the air, and the Dao sword in his hand went fiercely like overlapping waves.

The heavy energy like a mountain made the carriage on the side unbearable, making a "creak creak" painful sound, as if it would fall apart at any time.

Clang!

The two barbarian soldiers held their knives and supported them, a flash of horror appearing in their eyes.

Thus, after exchanging a look, they suddenly withdrew their knives and dodged to the left and right. The sword energy without obstruction directly cut a wide and deep trench on the wasteland, and mud splashed.

And at this time, the two barbarians had already stepped out a deep pit on the wasteland, borrowed strength to soar again, and whistled toward the top of the carriage.

And Ji You also took this opportunity to draw his bow again. As his arms exerted force, the bowstring was pulled full quickly, making a "creak" tight sound, and then his fingers suddenly loosened, and it shot out.

The arrow wrapped in majestic energy was like a black lightning, directly collapsing on the iron knife of one of them.

To be precise, he was aiming at the opponent's heart.

Because the barbarian's heart is the weakest place, and the hardest are the arms and skull, verified by personal hammering.

But although he shot at the heart, he couldn't stop the opponent from waving the knife to defend, so this arrow was directly nailed to the barbarian's knife body, and sparks flew everywhere.

And what made the barbarian feel frightened was that the heavy energy carried by the arrow directly stopped his jumping action and directly smashed him away fiercely.

At this time, spiritual energy surged under Ji You's feet, he flew back in the air, opened the distance with the remaining one, and seven swords floated in the air amidst the clanging of ironware, slashing fiercely.

The sound of shattering rang out instantly, the iron knife was broken, and the upper soldier realm barbarian was directly slashed in the heart, flying horizontally with blood overflowing from his mouth and nose.

This is the sharpest sword among the four swords of the Spirit Sword Mountain Sword Dao, 【Willow Color New】.

Then Ji You took a spirit sword and put it on the bowstring, tightened the bowstring, poured the violent sword energy into the arrow, and toward the upper soldier realm barbarian who was shot away earlier, suddenly loosened the string.

From the two swords whistling up, to the two barbarians spilling blood into the sky, everything happened unexpectedly and beyond cognition.

At this moment, Jiang Chenfeng was stunned, and Jiang Yue rou's eyes flashed with a trace of incredulity, and more shocked gazes all gathered here at this moment.

No one would have thought that the joint effort of two upper soldier realm barbarians would be defeated so simply.

"Didn't he face an upper soldier realm barbarian and win narrowly and embarrassingly before? Now two, how could..."

"Because using a sword is always stronger than being empty-handed."

Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai said softly under the night, and the sound scattered into the whistling wind.

One inch long, one inch strong, especially since the human body is far weaker than the barbarian, the importance of weapons is naturally self-evident.

But no one knew why such a non-question answer would ring out, but before they could ponder, they heard a whisper in the wind again.

"One day, we checked the corpses you brought back... The one who died in Ji You's hands was very strange. He had no sword wounds, his chest was completely collapsed, and there was only a complete fist print inside..."

"In that fist pit, the traces of the finger bones were exceptionally clear. It should be that the heart was hammered and exploded, so that the blood poured back and overflowed from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose."

"?"

"So his previous disheveled state must have been because he hadn't drawn his sword, but had instead beaten them to death with his fists; and now, he has drawn his sword."

The whisper in the wind scattered, and Jiang Chenfeng and others' faces changed slightly.

Just physical body.

The one who looked like he had won a narrow victory before was just physical body.

And now, he has started to draw his sword.

Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai were still looking at that figure in the night, although they were prepared, they still didn't cover up the exclamation at this moment.

There are many factors for a strong physical body...

For example, some elixirs, for example, some magic treasure.

Not having seen the real scene, just seeing the fist prints on the corpse, actually no one can make a judgment.

In fact, after noticing the corpses Ji You brought back for the first time, Jiang Yan and Yan Qiubai discussed for a long time, constantly analyzing why Ji You had been fighting hand-to-hand with the barbarians.

The most reasonable reason is that no one knows. In fact, Ji You's sword is not as strong as his fist. During the battle, he might have accidentally had his long sword knocked down by the barbarians, and had to start hand-to-hand combat...

This kind of speculation also has loopholes. You can't always have your long sword knocked down, but in general, this is indeed the most reasonable.

But it wasn't until they saw the sword energy toward the sky that they knew that Ji You's sword was stronger, stronger than his physical body.

Cultivators have amazing hearing, and Ji You also heard the whisper in the wind at this time, and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

These people are not like him who needs to rummage through his money bag. He really didn't expect that someone would go to check the barbarian corpses he killed.

While pondering, two more figures killed over horizontally. Ji You turned to summon another sword, the sword energy soared into the sky, making the ten directions bright, and pressed down with a roar.

"That is the sword of Elder Qi of my Spirit Sword Mountain. Senior Brother Brother Brother Gongshu said that when I was in seclusion, Ji You once went to break my Heavenly Sword Peak's sword forest, and then learned the sword."

"However, I don't know it would be so strong..."

"Elder Qi is the kind who sits alone in the deep mountains and never goes out. It's about the same as us who close the door for several years. Except for when he was young, no one has seen him use his full sword, but... it's really strong."

Under the night, Yan Qiubai couldn't help but mutter.

And on the carriage in front, Elder Ge from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan couldn't help but raise his head and stare at that figure for a long time.

Although he is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in things, he has actually heard a lot of rumors about this Ji You.

He knows that there are countless disciples in the academy and many elders, but very few people like him.

Before setting off, there were gifts sent by the Longevity Hall and the Buchan Hall, asking him to pay attention to the safety of Shi Junhao and Xiao Hanyan.

Only this Ji You, no one has ever cared about him.

Even, Elder Ge also received the meaning from several major noble families related to him, secretly revealing the hope that he would die abroad.

Killing, beheading, ignoring the rules.

That thing in Fengzhou, he did it too absolutely.

But putting these aside, this kind of person, no matter which Immortal Sect he is placed in, seems to be a disciple worthy of praise. If he were born in a thousand-year noble family, big figures would have already bet on his future.

"Good sword!"

"Really worthy of you!"

At this time, Ji You continued to stand at the head of the carriage, and there were countless cheers of "Really worthy of you" in his ears.

It has to be said that Brother Brother Gongshu Chou has some things in terms of giving emotional value...

He slashed and retreated the barbarians attacking the roof of the carriage. At this time, he bent his bow and nocked an arrow again, but before he could pull it full, he felt a strong sense of crisis, so his spiritual sense instantly expanded outward.

What is terrible is that he actually couldn't capture what it was at this moment.

Just at this moment, only a "poof" sound was heard, and Tu Xu, who was slashing the upper soldier realm barbarian with his sword, suddenly paused, and was directly pierced through his left shoulder by an extremely fast arrow, and the whole person flew horizontally.

The first to react was the elder of the Ask Dao Sect, who stood up in horror at this time, broke into the dark night, fished up the injured Tu Xu in the dancing wind, and turned to look at the southeast side.

At this time, eight figures came from the distant sky, all of them looking like sturdy and burly fierce generals, their energy scorching and swaying.

And the one in the middle had already bent his bow again, indifferently pulling the bowstring, raising his hand, and shooting fiercely toward the figure on the roof of the carriage.

This is an arrow that the spiritual sense of the Realm of Merging with the Dao cannot capture at all. Only the six elders can see that the fierce murderous intent is flying toward Ji You with a momentum of going forward.

Silent! Extreme speed!

Elder Ge's eyes widened in horror, but he didn't make any move to save him, and then prepared to meet the enemy with full momentum.

Just as he said earlier, the biggest difference between Ji You and other prodigies is not that his realm is lower, but that he has no protection at all on this trip.

But just at this moment, a strong wind blew on the carriage, and a more powerful sword energy swayed into the sky.

With a "shush" sound, the sword intent hummed, and Spirit Sword Mountain Elder Yan Chuan instantly appeared on the roof of the carriage, and with the speed of lightning, snatched the arrow that had already flown in front of him with his bare hands.

Yan Chuan's figure was very tall, and although his hair was gray, his spirit was standing, his posture was straight, and he didn't see the slightest stoop.

But for some reason, at this time, he was holding the arrow and standing on the left side of Ji You, but it seemed that he was slightly bowing.

At this time, there was astonishment all around.
