Eternal Sword

Chapter 79 Turmoil
The speed of the feather arrows fired from a half-crossbow would never be that fast, and the force would never be that strong!

This kind of force and shooting speed can probably only be achieved with a two-stone bow!

At a distance of one hundred steps, a half-crossbow can injure an ordinary person.

If it were replaced with a stone bow, even a ninth-rank warrior would be shot through if he did not dodge.

If it were two crossbows...

Even if you want to hide, it's too late!
A simple product test went awry, something unexpected happened, and murder came!
Not to mention the masters on the platform, even the onlookers noticed something was wrong after the arrow was shot.

The power of a half-crossbow is limited, so the feather arrow will draw a curved trajectory in mid-air and finally hit the target.

But the arrow just now was too fast, it turned into a black light, almost in a straight line, shooting towards Chen Tang who was a hundred steps away, arriving in an instant!
The Li siblings were on a high platform, and even if they realized something was wrong, it was too late for them to take action.

Everyone seemed to see the scene where Chen Tang was pierced by an arrow and lay dead on the training ground!
Some people looked reluctant, some felt sorry, and some gloated over the misfortune...

Snapped!
A voice came.

The next moment, everyone's eyes widened in shock, with only one thought in their minds: "How is this possible!"

The entire training ground was in an uproar!
On the high platform in the parade ground, the Li brothers and sisters stood up one after another, surprised and happy.

Young Master Huo looked at this scene in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

County Lieutenant Han Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a cold light flashing.

Cai Yin of Qinglong Division's eyes lit up, and he suddenly straightened his back and became alert.

A hint of regret flashed across Xu Tong's eyes, and then he regained his composure.

On the sandy ground of the training ground, Chen Tang just stretched out his hand to catch an arrow, without moving a single muscle!
The arrow was less than an inch away from his chest when he grasped it tightly in his palm.

The impact force was so huge that even when Chen Tang grabbed the arrow, the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly!

The archer on the opposite side had a confused look on his face and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

How can it be?

He had just changed two crossbows, and the young man opposite him was caught off guard and actually caught an arrow with his bare hands?
What kind of reaction is this?
Not to mention the onlookers, even the yamen runners nearby were dumbfounded.

Does this count as passing the test?

After all, he didn't hit the body, so it's impossible to tell whether he has practiced to the point where his skin is as hard as armor.

But this guy caught all the arrows!

Chen Tang had a calm expression, showing no emotion. He threw the feather arrow to the ground and looked up at the platform not far away.

Only those who are familiar with him know that he has murderous intentions at this moment!
The opponent's move came without any warning.

There will be some subtle differences in the sound of the bowstring being pulled between a half-crossbow and a double-crossbow.

When Chen Tang heard something wrong with the bowstring sound a hundred steps away, the arrow had already left the string, broke through the air and was right in front of him!
He cultivated to the ninth level, and his skin became ice-like, with defense even better than copper skin.

A hundred paces away, a stone bow could no longer hurt him.

But he still couldn't withstand the impact of the two stone bows.

Without having time to think, Chen Tang instantly entered the state of divine illumination, his reaction speed skyrocketed, and the black feather arrow seemed to slow down in his sight.

He raised his hand and grabbed it in his palm!

This is not a product test at all.

Someone wants to kill him!
The archer on the opposite side was a military prodigy, obviously from the army.

The only people who can command these archers are the few on the high platform in the parade ground!

The biggest suspect is naturally the Taoist boy from Xuantian Temple.

But apart from the Li brothers and sisters, it is also difficult to rule out the others.

Cai Yin turned his head, his eyes wandering over the people around him, grinning and saying, "Someone has tampered with this bow."

Xu Tong looked calm.

The third Master Huo lowered his eyes and brows, as if he didn't hear anything.

On the stage, Li Zhongmou shouted in a low voice: "Catch him!"

Li Boxiong understood, jumped down, and rushed towards the archer to grab him!
Beside him, another figure followed.

Just as Li Boxiong arrived and grabbed the archer's left wrist, County Lieutenant Han Lang also came to the other side, and his five fingers were like eagle claws, locking the archer's right shoulder! The archer was restrained by two people at the same time and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Tell me, who told you to do this?"

Li Boxiong exerted strength in his palms and shouted loudly.

"I don't know what you said?"

The archer responded while enduring the severe pain.

Li Boxiong snorted coldly, put more strength in his hands, and scolded: "You are using a two-stone bow. If you tell the truth, you may still have a chance to survive!"

At the same time, County Lieutenant Han Lang also made efforts on the other side.

The archer felt pain on both sides and said quickly, "I don't know anything. When I went to get the bow, it was this bow!"

"How dare you still talk nonsense at this time!"

Li Boxiong said coldly: "Drilling ground to determine the rank, you changed the second stone bow and wanted to shoot the ninth-rank warrior. Lord Cai of the Azure Dragon Division is watching on the stage. You are committing a capital crime!"

When the archer heard this, a trace of fear clearly appeared on his face, and he became a little shaken.

Seeing this, Li Boxiong pressed on, saying, "You can't handle it alone. If you hand over the mastermind behind the scenes, you may still have a chance to survive!"

"okay."

Han Lang suddenly spoke up and said, "Give him to me. I'll take him back for interrogation. I don't believe I can't find out who is behind this."

"What does this mean, Master Han?"

Li Boxiong asked with a frown.

Just when it seemed that they might be able to get him to confess by asking a few more questions, Han Lang suddenly intervened.

Han Lang said calmly: "The test has to continue. Are you going to let everyone watch you forcing a confession? Where is the law of our Daqian Kingdom?"

The Third Master Huo suddenly raised his voice and said, "Brother Bo Xiong, you have to be aware of your identity. You are not an official appointed by the court. What qualifications do you have to interrogate others? Lord Han has allowed you to question here for so long because of your father's face."

Li Boxiong's face was as cold as ice, and he did not let go immediately.

Li Zhongmou jumped down and came to Li Boxiong, whispering, "Brother, let go. Lord Han is here, so this matter is definitely not our responsibility."

After a short pause, Li Zhongmou looked at the stage again and said loudly: "However, if Lord Cai of the Qinglong Division is willing to come forward, I believe Lord Han will hand this person over."

Han Lang's face darkened.

If Qinglongsi really wanted to intervene, he really couldn't do anything about it.

Even though Cai Yin was only the Weiwei, one level lower than him in official rank, the Qinglong Division was directly under Emperor Qian, which was very special.

As long as the Qinglong Division intervenes, the county government will have to give in.

"Qinglongsi is too lazy to care about such a trivial matter."

On the high platform of the parade ground, Cai Yin waved his hands carelessly, and then said with a joking smile: "If you, Lord Han, have committed any crime, it would be worthy of the Qinglong Division to intervene."

Han Lang breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Cai, you are joking. I am upright and loyal to the king. I will never make a mistake."

Then, Han Lang looked at Li Boxiong and said coldly: "Let go!"

At this point, Li Boxiong had no choice but to let go of the archer.

Han Lang took the man and threw him to the officers standing by, saying, "Tie him up and put him in jail."

At this moment, Chen Tang suddenly shouted, "Hey, if you go to jail, you will definitely not get out alive. The people who ordered you will definitely kill you! Only the dead can keep secrets."

Li Zhongmou seemed to have thought of something and secretly said that it was a clever move.

A hint of panic flashed in the archer's eyes. He subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of the Third Master Huo on the platform, then quickly looked away.

It's him!

Chen Tang noticed the look in the archer's eyes and had an idea in mind.

"Take it away quickly, don't affect the quality of the training ground!"

Han Lang frowned, shouted, and signaled the officers to take the archer away quickly.
