Chapter 178: Fire on North Street

huh~~
The air in the slaughterhouse was rushing, and the residual force of the stick was still reverberating, blowing away the dust and sand in all directions.

"so close!"

Chen Ku leaned the long stick in his hand diagonally, stood in place, and stared at Xie Qi, a fourth-level master from Chai Tiepu, whose head was smashed by him with the stick. He still felt a sense of shock and fear in his heart.

Just now, when the opponent swung his hammer to kill him, the lightning-fast speed, coupled with the strength of a fourth-level great warrior, brought an instantaneous suppression force to Chen Ku that was indescribable.

If it weren't for his various tricks and abilities, if there had been even the slightest mistake at that moment, he might have been the one lying there.

"Sure enough, in a real head-on confrontation, a single mistake or flaw can cost a life. It's completely different from being attacked from behind."

Chen Ku once again felt the danger of a head-on fight. It was still okay if he was at the same level. With his brute force, he could just hit him with a stick and there wouldn't be any problem.

An example is the three people led by Di Jianqing. Their cultivation levels are between his and others, so they are easy to beat. That's because there is not much difference between him and those three people, and he is even slightly better than them in some aspects.

But when facing a face-to-face duel with a warrior of the fourth realm, the feeling is completely different. The characteristic of a warrior of the fourth realm is their terrifying internal energy recovery speed.

Although Chen Ku still managed to kill Xie Qi within two or three breaths, his grasp of the timing of the battle, the use of psychological tactics, and the variety of means and techniques played an absolute role in this.

In short, facing a master of the fourth realm, Chen Ku now has only one chance to strike at most. If successful, he will have a chance to kill his opponent without any injury. If he fails, he will be the one to die.

You can fight, but you have to take the risk of having to answer for your mistakes, which is not stable enough!!
"It's still the fear of insufficient strength."

Chen Ku sighed in his heart.

However, he did not know how wonderful the expression on Shang Yunfang's face was as he watched this scene from a distance.

"Chen Ku? You... killed Xie Qi, the fourth-level warrior from Chai Tie Pu? How did you do it?"

Shang Yunfang approached rapidly at this time, with one of his arms hanging down, which was shot through, his face showing shock and excitement.

Who is Xie Qi?

Baojiao County is so small that everyone knows who are the masters of the four realms in each household, their names, and their abilities.

After being adopted by the old shopkeeper Xie Wenyuan, Xie Qi showed extraordinary talent and aptitude in martial arts. At the age of 38, he became a rare 'Four Realms Meridians' master in Baojiao County.

In terms of qualifications, he is slightly better than Shang Yunfang.

For most warriors in Baojiao County, a fourth-level martial arts master can almost be regarded as the "ceiling" level in the city.

There are no more than twenty such masters in Baojiao County.

It is really the shadow of a man's name and a tree.

One counts as one.

The result is now...

He was actually hit to death by his own apprentice with a stick within just a few breaths.

If this matter gets out.

Doesn't it mean that this disciple of his, who has only been an apprentice for more than half a year, now has the qualifications to be among the top of the martial arts ceiling in Baojiao County?

"master."

Chen Ku did not answer Shang Yunfang's question first, but looked at his master's arm that was shot by an arrow with concern. The injury was very serious, and the bones were broken. He asked repeatedly:

"Your arm needs to be treated with medicine immediately, otherwise..."

"I know, it's too late. The Chai Tie Pu has come to attack us, and even Brother Nong has been killed. If I go to apply medicine and heal my wounds now, wouldn't that make Yaowang Hall lack a fighting force? Losing an arm is nothing, as long as we can repel the Chai Tie Pu tonight, or even annihilate them completely... From now on, the hall will take care of me, so don't worry about me."

Shang Yunfang was very aware of the injury on his arm. Being shot in the arm by the divine crossbow, a forbidden weapon of the imperial court, unless he had the holy medicine that could "turn bones into white", the broken bones would remain broken, and the arm would be crippled.

He was even somewhat thankful that he was only shot in the arm while sleeping while facing the siege of the divine crossbow. This was already an extremely lucky result.

"As for you, what kind of body movement did you use just now? It doesn't seem like the Sound Step." Shang Yunfang asked thoughtfully.

"Well..." Chen Ku couldn't explain any more, so he could only say: "It's just a little insight of my disciple, a means to confuse the enemy. The disciple was able to kill Xie Qi thanks to the 'Spiritual Attack', which confused his mind for a moment."

Shang Yunfang also saw some clues as to how the disciple killed Xie Qi at that crucial moment.

However, he did not expect that the spiritual witnessing that he had experimented with when Chen Ku broke through the third level of the Xuanguan that day had increased its power again in such a short period of time.

Could it be...

Has this child broken through his cultivation realm again?
But before Shang Yunfang could say anything more.

"The core forces of the Chai Tie Pu have broken in. Everyone, prepare to meet them!"

Cao Shouxiong's roar came from the backyard:
"Get rid of all the crossbowmen in the dark as soon as possible."

boom! boom! …

Almost at the moment when Cao Shouxiong shouted, the remaining dozen or so powerful crossbowmen who had already loaded the second wave of arrows in secret, once again fired a volley of crossbow arrows towards the key small courtyards of Yaowang Hall!

"Master, be careful!"

At this moment, Chen Ku felt the crisis for the first time. He rushed forward and pushed Shang Yunfang into the shadow of the corner of the yard.

Bang bang bang! !

Where they dodged, twenty terrifying arrows like javelins instantly stuck into the ground, creating a large deep pit on the ground and causing dust and mist to fly!

"Ugly bit, two!"

After Chen Ku pounced on Shang Yunfang, he didn't have time to say anything more to his master. He took out the purple-gold Sirius bow from behind, jumped up, and rushed towards the roof. He looked in all directions, locking onto other powerful crossbowmen with his scent!

First, draw the bow and shoot an arrow instantly. With a whoosh, another crossbowman was shot dead. At the same time, continue to report the position to Chai Bao!
"Coach Chai, there are two people in the Yin position three miles away..."

far away,

On the slanting roof of the guardhouse, Chai Bao, who had already shot and killed five crossbowmen in succession after being reminded by Chen Ku, had lost his position after the enemy hid themselves. When he heard Chen Ku's reminder again, he drew his bow without hesitation and shot two arrows in succession!

Two crossbowmen three miles away were shot through the chest and killed instantly!

"Three people five miles away!"

Listening to Chen Ku continuing to report his location.

Whoosh whoosh!
Chai Bao drew his bow to the full moon, and while shooting arrows continuously, he shouted at the other people in the Chai Tie Pu:

"Half of the divine crossbowmen have been killed. Leave these crossbowmen to me and Chen Ku. As for the rest, just go and fight those guys from Chai Tie Pu as much as you can!"

What Cao Shouxiong was waiting for was what Chai Bao said.

He leaped up. As one of the six masters above the fourth realm in Yaowang Hall, he was both the shopkeeper and a thug who climbed up from the bottom. At this moment, he immediately sorted out the battle situation in his mind.

Originally, there were only four fourth-level masters in Chai Tiepu. The reason they dared to fight them was that they relied on the "divine crossbow". Now, the threat of the divine crossbow has been gradually resolved under the joint efforts of Chen Ku and Chai Bao.

Then, only some ordinary warriors from the firewood and iron shop were left, and the chances of victory began to tilt towards Yaowang Hall.

as predicted.

When Cao Shouxiong led a group of disciples to rush out of Yaowang Hall, they happened to meet Kou Ming and Shang Yunfang, who were each leading a team of people coming out from other small doors in the courtyard wall. After the three teams met together, without saying a word, they all looked towards the firewood and iron shop rushing towards them on North Street.

There were a total of two to three hundred people, and the leader was Hong Tingshan, an old man of the fourth realm who was in charge of guarding Chaitiepu and one of the four fourth realm masters in Chaitiepu.

"Kill! Kill them!"

Cao Shouxiong took the brunt of the charge and was the first to run towards Hongting Mountain. At the same time, he let out a long roar and made plans to boost the morale of the apprentices and fellows in Yaowang Hall behind him:
"Master Shang and I have joined forces to deal with Hongting Mountain. We have a chance of winning. Kou Ming can lead all the remaining masters and apprentices to kill everyone else in the Chai Tie Pu. After tonight, my Yaowang Hall will be the unrivaled overlord of Baojiao County. Kill!"

In an instant, the eyes of all the apprentices and guys in the Medicine King Hall were filled with bloodshot. Since it seemed like a battle that they knew they would win, then... why not fight to the death, make contributions to the hall, and wait for the rewards after a great victory? What are they waiting for!

Hong Tingshan, who was rushing over from the opposite side of North Street, and all the apprentices of the firewood and iron shop behind him, also heard Cao Shouxiong's heart-piercing words at the same time, and their hearts could not help but waver.

Hong Tingshan's face turned slightly pale. How could he not know that Cao Shouxiong's shout was both boosting the morale of the other side and attacking his own morale.

but,
Seeing that the great weapon of the Chai Tie Pu, the Divine Power Crossbow, had not played its due effect at all, and was now being plucked out one by one, facing a situation where the quality of the masters was already inferior to that of the Medicine King Hall, this battle...

Just as he was rushing towards the other side.

boom!
Suddenly, from two or three miles behind, there was a shocking roar and the sound of swords colliding:
"This noise is... Yang Luchan! Master!"

Hong Tingshan looked back almost subconsciously, and saw that Xie Qingfeng, the leader who was in charge of supervising the battle in the rear, had been approached by Yang Luchan at some point and smashed out with a stick, seemingly blowing up the sky.

He only had time to see the fleeting figure of the young master being swept away by Yang Luchan's stick.

"Kill! Destroy the firewood and iron shop!"

A few hundred meters ahead, Cao Shouxiong was already charging towards them with a loud roar.

this moment!
The center of Hongting Mountain almost completely fell into the valley, the magic crossbow was broken, and the number of manpower and experts in frontal combat was not at an advantage. The young master in the rear was stabbed by Yang Luchan at close range.

The three disadvantages combined together...

"Ha ha!"

At this juncture, Hong Tingshan put aside all his emotions and just laughed heartily:
"Be loyal to the Chai Tie Pu! Kill!"

Immediately, holding a six-sided steel hammer, he jumped towards Cao Shouxiong, raised the hammer, and smashed it hard in his face!

Clang!
Unexpectedly, the blow missed. Cao Shouxiong used the shopkeeper's unique skill [Five Elements One Qi Magic Needle] to perform a myriad of changes and tricks. He brushed past the hammer wind, picked up a silver needle, and inserted it between his two fingers...

As flexible as a crane.

The pointer points to the throat of Hongting Mountain!
Hong Tingshan wanted to retreat immediately, but he heard a sound like "thunder" in his ears. It turned out to be Shang Yunfang, who had lost one arm but still held the knife with one hand. He used his great sound-piercing step and rushed seventy feet away in an instant and came from behind him.

The sharp knife in his hand was shining coldly, and countless knife flowers flew towards him quickly, dismembering him!
Puff puff! !

Hong Tingshan was attacked by two fourth-level masters together, and blood was instantly all over his body.

Boom!

Behind the three of them, two waves of troops merged together and simultaneously collided in the center of North Street like two waves.

“Kill!” “Kill!” “Ahhhh…”

Suddenly, a tide of weapons clashing, screams of pain, and a scene no less devastating than the Shura hell on the battlefield appeared on this street.

As for the merchants and the people on both sides of the street, they could only see from the windows the bloodstains falling, the flashing of knives, the crowds of people, fighting, and falling...

The bloody smell not only gradually dyed the bluestone street red, but also gradually spread to the noses of people in every household on both sides of the street.

There was a woman with tears in her eyes, nervously covering her child's mouth to prevent the child from making any sound.

There was also a couple who wanted to block the door with tables and benches, but they didn't expect that a person from outside the window was thrown in and fell directly on their bed, with blood everywhere.

Then, Kou Ming's figure in a green shirt flashed through the broken window, and he shot a needle with his finger, which pierced the man's forehead and killed him. Then he happened to look into the eyes of the terrified couple.

The scholar-like young man in green shirt grinned and said gently, "Don't be afraid, come to Yaowang Hall tomorrow to collect the compensation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure left through the hole.

What reached the ears of every household was an even more intense and bloody battle.
