Chapter 008: My husband is a terrestrial immortal
"Can one kill without an arrowhead?" Bai Yutang reached out to touch the arrow cluster: "Is it still a stone? Who on earth is that young man? His power is truly terrifying! It seems he has even cultivated his protective aura."
You will know soon
He quickly retreated to the edge of the forest fence, and as he turned his head, he saw Lu Sen continuing to draw his bow towards the smoke.
Everyone recalled the scene not long ago when Han Zhang threw a hidden weapon, which was deflected just three inches in front of the young man
At this moment, Han Zhang was already prepared and no longer dodged; he was afraid of the inexplicably curved arrows, and immediately drew a short knife to protect himself.
The other four individuals were immediately left helpless
The tail of an arrow generally has fletching, which is used to stabilize the flight trajectory of the arrow and prevent it from wobbling or veering off course
Earlier, when Bai Yutang saw his second brother get shot, he realized that they would definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, he took the initiative to go ahead and check outside the city to see if there were any solitary individuals to use as hostages. As luck would have it, he indeed encountered a small child from a refugee family by the water field, who was feeling for loaches in the moonlight. He quickly captured the little fellow and hurried back, only to see Zhan Zhao chasing after him.
I see, no wonder they caught up so quickly
Impressive! Zhang Zhao quickly cupped his hands towards Lu Sen and said: Thank you for your assistance
Under the dim candlelight, Han Zhang was sitting on an old wooden bed
The arrowhead is a pale golden color and is square-shaped! A small square stone encases the arrow shaft
As Han Zhang shouted a single phrase, the others were momentarily taken aback
The matter has already passed, and it is not appropriate to discuss it further. At this moment, the most important thing is the injury of Second Brother. Third Brother Xu Qing, who has a rather calm demeanor, slowly said: "The weather is currently hot, and if the arrowhead is not removed, if it is delayed for a few more days, it will definitely fester and become infected. Even if Second Brother has internal strength to rely on, he cannot endure for long. If it is delayed for another month or two, even if Second Brother's leg can heal, it is estimated that his lightness skill will be reduced by half."
With Han Zhang's loud shout, the other four immediately launched their attacks simultaneously, forcing Zhan Zhao to retreat, and then they rushed into the white poisonous mist
He is quite handsome, and under the soft moonlight, his smooth and tender oval face reflects a milky white sheen
In a moment, she truly could not distinguish whether this wooden building was real or a manifestation of the rosy glow.
This is the smoke created by their own brothers; it does not matter if it is toxic, as their brothers have the antidote anyway
This arrow also has fletching, but its fletching is not attached from wwwhetushucomcom; rather, it is 'grown' on the shaft of the arrow, and is itself a spiral-shaped feather carved from wood.
In the moment of life and death struggle, many matters do not allow for much consideration
The next morning, Yang Jinhua casually had some breakfast to fill her stomach, and then rode out of the city on a white warhorse with Uncle Qi, heading towards the low hills
If no one is injured, it would indeed be difficult for him to catch up with the Five Rats
The arrow flew into the smoke, piercing through a transparent 'air column', and then rolled back with the airflow formed by the smoke, heading straight for Han Zhang's head
Zhan Zhao wore a sullen expression and took two steps back
The little boy looked around in the moonlight and then nodded his head
Ding
After touching for a short while, she withdrew her hand, gathered her breath, and exclaimed: "Yang Jinhua, the youngest daughter of the Yang family, has come to visit the master of this place with an important matter to discuss, and requests an audience."
Elder brother Lu Fangzheng squatted in front of the wooden bed, observing the injury on Han Zhang's leg
Bai Yutang fished around in his belt for a moment, pulled out a dozen copper coins, and stuffed them into the other person's hand with a smile, saying: "I apologize for scaring you just now; these are a token of my regret. Also, in the future, do not wander around at night. If you encounter me, consider yourself fortunate; if you run into those rogue individuals who act recklessly, you would truly be in grave danger."
However, if someone is injured, the situation becomes different
Then, Bai Yutang glared at Lu Sen with hatred, a trickle of nosebleed running down, and charged forward with all his might. The four formed a circle, and the flashes of swords and shadows of blades temporarily trapped Zhan Zhao.
After reaching a safe distance, he also turned around and left while carrying the little boy.
But now ... ... there seems to be a bit more confidence
Can this also be seen
Han Zhang was being supported by someone, and a golden arrow pierced through his right calf from behind
This wooden building is entirely a light golden color, bathed in the morning glow, with a hazy shimmer of dust, resembling a fairyland from a dream
Bai Yutang raised his left hand high, holding a boy from a poor family, who appeared to be around ten years old. The boy was biting his lip, afraid to make a sound, his face filled with terror
No wonder this person dares to run into the wilderness at night, even making their territory brightly lit, attracting attention.
Bai Yutang smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, and let his four elder brothers leave first
He is not afraid that the little boy will get into trouble. Although the Five Rats operate in both righteous and unscrupulous ways, at least they keep their word, which is the foundation of their standing in the martial world.
Firstly, the Five Rats will certainly not abandon their injured companion, which will inevitably slow their speed; secondly, the injury will undoubtedly leave traces, such as bloodstains, which will facilitate his tracking
How to assemble? The black pillar's eyes are shining
Zhan Zhao was somewhat surprised
Indeed, after running for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense while carrying the little boy in the night, Bai Yutang set him down by the roadside and squatted down to ask, "Little one, do you know the way back?"
Second brother, you are being too modest. We five brothers are united as one, sharing wealth in prosperity and facing difficulties together in adversity
With the bowstring fully drawn, Lu Sen released his right hand
Be careful, this little thief's arrows can curve
The little boy was mesmerized, no longer afraid, and couldn't help but nod his head.
The arrow was deflected, but Han Zhang's short knife was knocked aside, causing him to stagger back several steps, with his right hand already numb
Even the Five Mice, no matter how foolish, know when they have kicked against an iron plate
Heihe smiled and said, "Lady Yang, your words are mistaken. My lord is a person among the immortals, how can those unlearned and wasteful sons of nobility be compared to him? Moreover, my lord is not an ordinary person in the mortal world, so it is natural that he cannot be judged by the standards of mortals."
There was no sound coming from the wooden building over there
Yang Jinhua waited for a while, and seeing that there was no response, she was puzzled as to whether anyone was home when a man hurriedly ran down from the wooden building.
"How absurd?" Bai Yutang stepped forward and indeed saw two pairs of scissors with half of their blades broken on the ground: "Then remove the tail feathers of the arrow and pull the arrow out from the front."
As he watched Zhang Zhao disappear into the night, Lu Sen put away his longbow
Brothers, let's go
He swung the giant sword in his hand with great force, knocking the four individuals back, and then he covered his nose and retreated repeatedly
However, Zhan Zhao was unable to do so. He watched as the thick smoke approached, and could only retreat repeatedly
He then circumvented the smoke and headed towards the place where the Five Mice had just vanished.
Boss Lu Fang nodded: "Indeed, we cannot delay any longer; we must find a solution"
He was slowly retreating while carrying the little boy
After all, bows and concealed weapons are different; a concealed weapon that can be thrown with a range of fifty meters and still possess lethality is quite remarkable, thus making it easier to control
Feng
The young man in black quickly ran to the wooden fence and said softly, "Miss Yang, please wait a moment. My husband is still sound asleep and has not yet risen. If you wish to see him, you may have to wait a little longer"
"It cannot be cut." Lu Fang wore a rather troubled expression: "This arrow is made of an unknown type of wood, incredibly hard and resilient. I have broken two pairs of scissors trying to cut it, yet it remains unscathed. The second time, I even used my internal energy, but to no avail."
The five individuals exhibited an extraordinary level of coordination. At the sound of the leader's loud call, the three who were entangled with Zhan Zhao simultaneously unleashed their internal energy, forcing Zhan Zhao to retreat several steps in an instant
The arrow just now indeed struck a person, but it is unclear which part was hit
Withdraw!
The five individuals are well-acquainted with each other, and the second one should not have offended such extraordinary figures.
"Who he is does not matter," Lu Fang said, stroking his short black beard. "But why does he harbor such resentment towards the second one? During their previous encounter, he only focused on the second one."
Yang Jinhua stood in front of the wooden fence, cautiously extending her hand, and soon touched that invisible wall which felt as cool and comfortable as glass.
Thank you for your trouble, Fifth Brother. Han Zhang displayed a look of gratitude
The morning glow is a pale golden color
But those were merely small concealed weapons, enhanced with a touch of skill
Lu Sen smiled and said, "Let us not pay attention to them; let us first set up the house."
The bond among the Five Rats is profound; although they are not biological brothers, they are closer than real brothers
His gaze remained fixed on Han Zhang, completely disregarding the others.
"Zhang Zhao, if you dare to pursue us five again, this young man's life will be forfeit."
"Eldest brothers, you first escort the second brother back to the Abyssal Island, while I go to fetch the Cicada Wing Sword from my master." Bai Yutang stood up and said, "Master's Cicada Wing Sword is the third sword in the world; I do not believe it can be unable to sever this tiny arrow."
Time passes quickly, and a night goes by in the blink of an eye
This has happened several times; whenever the Five Rats show any signs of defeat, Bai Yutang always finds various ways to make Zhan Zhao hesitate to take action against them
A martial artist possesses keen hearing and sharp eyesight; although the speed of the flying arrow is swift, he still managed to catch its trajectory.
The pale golden arrow vanished into the thick fog, and half a second later, a cry of agony echoed from afar. Zhan Zhao clearly recognized that it was the voice of Han Zhang.
The clear and melodious voice of a young girl echoed through the mountains and forests, gradually fading away
Zhan Zhao was just about to pursue when he suddenly saw Bai Yutang leap over from the side
With a loud bang, a large amount of smoke appeared
When it comes to martial arts, he alone can match five mice in a draw
Lu Fang shook his head helplessly, pointing at the tail of the arrow: "Fifth brother, look, this arrow is quite troublesome"
Looking at the little boy in Bai Yutang's hands, Zhang Zhao angrily said: "Bai Yutang, have you completely disregarded the principles of the martial world? You even spare not a child!"
Lu Sen smiled, and golden streams of light shot from his hands, floating like silk, falling to the ground and transforming into wooden blocks, which quickly stacked up.
The five of them have been acting together since they swore brotherhood several years ago, and they have hardly been apart.
Moreover, everyone just witnessed that the deviation of those two arrows was extremely large and very sudden, which is absolutely abnormal and unreasonable
It instantly spread throughout the vicinity
The leader of the Five Mice, Lu Fang, shouted loudly
But the bow ...? ... with a casual range of over 100 meters, and up to 300 or 400 meters at a distance, once the arrow is released, with such great power, how can one control it with finesse?
My dear, is this the abode of immortals? How did it turn into a building overnight? Uncle Qi watched in astonishment.
"Why haven't you cut the arrow yet?" Bai Yutang stepped forward to ask. He noticed that the arrow was still lodged in his second brother's leg.
Bai Yutang shifted his gaze and immediately frowned
She headed straight for the right side of the mountain, then stood outside the wooden fence, gazing at the three-story wooden building that had already been constructed in the field
They have all heard of连珠箭 and多重箭, but they have never heard of回旋箭 or弧型箭
The fact that this arrow inexplicably curves is one thing, but what is the deal with that strange, invisible 'wall'?
In the bright glow of the torch, the young man's figure seemed to radiate a halo, exuding an air of elegance and vigor
As a beggar who has wandered since childhood, he harbors a deep yearning and obsession for a house and a home
He returned to the foundation, and the black pillar approached, saying: "I did not expect that Lord Zhan and Lord Wu Shu both came."
At this moment, the second brother Han Zhang awkwardly said: "I have a bit of a recollection. Yesterday, we engaged in a confrontation with Zhan Zhao and were led to the rocky beach. At that time, two people suddenly appeared, and I feared they were Zhan Zhao's ambush. In a moment of impulse, I threw down two poisoned darts. I didn't pay much attention to them at the time, but I just suddenly remembered that those two people on the rocky beach seem to be the same as the two on the mountain."
Not only that, Fifth Brother, look at the arrow. " Lu Fang stood up
He soared through the woods outside the city, circling several times before diving into a small grove.
The four individuals were somewhat puzzled
Heixu has indeed gained some confidence. After witnessing the scene last night where Lu Sen waved his hand, and the golden light was dazzling as the tall buildings gradually took shape, he has already regarded his own husband as a terrestrial immortal.
Can arrows curve? Is it possible
In the dark, I found a thatched house inside. I knocked three long and three short times at the door, and after I squeezed in, I saw four older brothers.
At the same time, the longbow in Lu Sen's hand shot out a faint golden streak once again
Zhang Zhao let out a heavy sigh, feeling quite frustrated at the moment
A crisp sound
Then Bai Yutang crouched down and was stunned after just one glance
But one fears that Bai Yutang will resort to underhanded tactics.
On the other side, Zhang Zhao utilized his lightness skill to pursue and soon spotted the five mice fleeing at the foot of the mountain... No, it was four mice; Bai Yutang was nowhere to be found.
Toxic! After only taking a single puff, Zhang Zhao felt his internal energy destabilize
It seemed that Han Zhang directly threw a round ball to the ground, sensing Lu Sen's chilling murderous intent
Yang Jinhua was taken aback. She had seen this beggar yesterday, who was standing aside at that time, and no matter whom he looked at, there was a clear sense of inferiority in his eyes
Lu Sen hoped to directly shoot Han Zhang dead
In other words, these wooden arrow feathers are also quite difficult to remove
Under normal circumstances, there are indeed some experts in hidden weapons who can throw boomerangs, curved darts, and other techniques
Yang Jinhua looked at the increasingly rising sun, her expression peculiar: "It is already nearly three poles high in the sky, yet your husband has not yet risen. How lazy can he be? Even those young rascals in the city, who spent the night drinking and reveling, should be getting up by now; it is quite unbecoming."
The short knife lay horizontally, its internal energy penetrating within, blocking the incoming golden arrow.
Meanwhile, Lu Sen's third arrow has already been drawn back
The other four burst into laughter
From their perspective, Han Zhang's actions at that time were justified; eliminating all factors detrimental to one's survival was the primary concern when engaging in battle with a formidable enemy
No one blames Han Zhang
Yesterday, the other party directly threw a poisoned dart at his forehead. Since they initiated the act with the intent to kill, they should not be surprised if others retaliate in kind, or even with greater force.
This is his misfortune. Bai Yutang snorted and said: "Zhan Zhao, if you continue to pursue us, this little brat will die because of you. But as long as you do not chase us, once we are safe, we will naturally release this little one."
Once it is confirmed to be safe, the little boy will definitely be released
The word of honor is paramount, and a promise is as valuable as gold
Bai Yutang patted the little one's head and then leaped away.
This arrow... even Bai Yutang, who is well-versed and knowledgeable, has never seen anything like it before. The tail feathers are actually carved from the arrow itself. What immense manpower and resources must have been required for this: "It seems we have traveled the night roads too often and have truly encountered a ghost"
