Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"Damn..."

He stared blankly at Li Yan's chest, which was pierced by a fist-sized hole, and the ruptured flesh that was oozing out with blood and flesh. He turned his head with difficulty towards the city wall.

A small figure looked at him calmly. Qiao Zhang widened his eyes and wanted to take a closer look, but was called up by his subordinates beside him.

"Deputy General! What should we do! Deputy General!"

"Captain Li is dead! Deputy General!"

"Damn it, where did these people come from? Fuck them!"

Curses and complaints continued to be heard. They dismounted carefully to prevent the appearance of tripwires or the like. At the same time, they picked up things on the ground and held the shields on the chariot in front of them, alert to the arrows around them.

Now that they were attacked and didn't know who the enemy was, they urgently asked Qiao Zhang what to do.

"Could it be that the damn Cao Zhi wants to kill us!?"

"Isn't he afraid that the general will be angry?"

Faced with everyone's questioning and suspicion, Qiao Zhang also wondered if it was Cao Zhi who did it. After all, everyone knew that although Cao Zhi and the Lord worked for the same person above, they disliked each other and they almost had a conflict over the issue of food. Could it be that these ambushes were done by her?

But soon he shook his head.

"No, although the two of them are in conflict, there is no need to do this. Cao Zhi is just a civil servant. How can he do this?"

Qiao Zhang quickly rejected this guess. He remembered the figures he had seen before. They were thin and their archery accuracy was not good enough. If they had not appeared suddenly, they would have caused basically no damage to them.

They do look a bit like the refugees we usually see!

Could it be that those refugees rebelled and wanted to kill them?

But this is not right... Where did those people get the arrows? How could they take action under the noses of the general and Magistrate Cao?

Where are the general and the county magistrate?

Didn’t they leave several hundred people in the county?

Qiao Zhang's face was full of confusion and he had no idea what had happened in Qu County.

Of course, what frightened him even more was the sharp arrow shot from the city wall. He had never seen an arrow that was filled with true energy like that before. Could it be that it was shot by some great martial artist?

Why, why did that great martial artist want to deal with them.

And that little child, why is there a little child on the city wall?

Qiao Zhang was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts popping up in his mind, but he couldn't organize them.

Facing his subordinates' questioning, he turned pale, his brain was in a mess, his mouth moved but was still trembling slightly and he couldn't say anything. For some reason, although he was not in a dead end and could still escape, he felt desperate.

Not for the traps set in advance, nor for the mobs who couldn't even shoot arrows accurately, nor for Li Qiang and Cao Zhi who had not yet appeared.

Just because of that arrow filled with true energy, Li Yan was killed easily!

What kind of power does it take to allow the true Qi to be released so externally and attached to an arrow to take effect at such a distance?

Qiao Zhang subconsciously looked towards the city wall again, wanting to see who the great martial artist was.

However, his sight fell into a pair of calm eyes. The owner of those eyes drew the bow, put an arrow on it, and slowly looked over here.

Danger!

Qiao Zhang shuddered with goose bumps all over his body. He felt a chill rising from his tailbone and rushing straight into his neck, like an invisible hand, holding his neck and clamping it tightly, almost suffocating him.

Whoosh!

The bowstring popped out and the arrow whistled towards him. Qiao Zhang widened his eyes and rolled over violently.

"Get out of the way!"

He dodged with all his might, but to his surprise, the arrow did not carry any energy, and it simply brushed past his torn clothes and went straight into the ground, making a buzzing sound.

Qiao Zhang was shocked, and his first reaction was that he had been fooled?

But then, he noticed that there was a round package behind the arrow. He was shocked. He didn't expect that someone could shoot an arrow with something attached.

Before he could react, he heard the sound of cloth tearing, and the round package on his back was suddenly torn apart, drooping from under the trembling tail feathers. Then the things inside fell to the ground with a thud and rolled out along with the torn cloth.

It turned out to be an object that everyone was familiar with!

Qiao Zhang was shocked and his pupils dilated as if he had seen something incredible. He was dumbfounded and speechless.

"General...it's actually the great general."

"How, how could this be! This is the general's vomiting path. Is the general dead?"

"The general was also killed, this is impossible!"

The crowd was either surprised, questioning, or panicking. There were endless gasps, and they were obviously shocked.

That’s right, the package contained nothing else but the head of their general, Li Qiang.

The skull was lifelike, as if it had been specially prepared. From the outside, it looked like a living thing, full of vitality. The skin, wrinkles, and bloodshot in the pupils were all so vivid. The pair of cloudy eyes were wide open, recreating the unwilling despair and the puzzled confusion in the heart before death.

Qiao Zhang didn't know what Li Qiang faced before he died, but when he saw his head appear in front of him, that arrogant guy died with only a head left, a panic suddenly arose in his heart.

Li Qiang was dead, so what about him... What about himself who couldn't even defeat Li Qiang...

That's a martial arts master, and he has hundreds of people around him! They have about the same number of people as him!

Not only him, but everyone else also froze when they saw Li Qiang's head, and fell into panic. They looked at Qiao Zhang, the urgency in their eyes was clearly visible, and it was obvious that they wanted him to make a decision.

Qiao Zhang also felt the gazes around him, but this time he felt a more piercing gaze.

My eyes involuntarily turned to the direction where the sight came from, and it was still the small figure standing on the city wall.

I saw the figure drawing the bow again, nodding the arrow, and fixing his gaze, as if aiming at me.

It's here again! That feeling of being locked in, the suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe!

In an instant, Qiao Zhang understood something. Looking at the head beneath him that was stained by dust and covered with a circle of dust, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He immediately dropped his weapon and raised the white flag.

"I surrender! Don't kill me!"

His tactful action made Keqing pause and stop, and Qiao Zhang was relieved to see this. On the contrary, the people around him were a little bit incredulous, especially those who had a good relationship with Li Qiang and him and yearned for a glorious future. They couldn't stand it!

Chapter 586 Provoke and Surrender (Part 2)

"How can the deputy general be so cowardly! The general's body is still warm, we should rush out and kill the villain. How can we raise our hands in surrender and kneel down to the villain's hands?"

"That's right! You boost the prestige of others and destroy your own ambitions. Deputy General, I have always thought that you are the most capable person besides the general. I have always taken you as an example, but your behavior now is really embarrassing."

"The general was killed, and we should rise up and avenge him, but it's just a few refugees.

The thugs are not worth mentioning, how can we be afraid of them, how can we be responsible for this!"

This has happened to people one after another, and they look down on what Qiao Zhang did!

In their opinion, since Li Qiang is dead, they should take revenge. Those people are all useless. Although their weapons and equipment are similar to theirs, Li Yan can easily tear them into pieces and take their lives, which means they are nothing at all!

This will only make those scheming people think that you are not a capable person. The general must have fallen into their trap and that's why he did this. There is no need to worry at all.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. Qiao Zhang knows the other reason very well. He probably wants to seize the power of this team with justification.

Qiao Zhang looked at these team leaders and understood clearly what was going on. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "You know nothing." But he advised them:

"The general is dead, so what can we do if we resist? Now we are just trapped beasts fighting. You all know that the general is a martial artist, so how could he be killed so easily? The other side must have powerful martial artists. I surrender now for the good of my brothers."

Qiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he raised his hand and threw down his weapon and no more arrows were fired from the wall. It seemed that the other party had guessed right. They didn't want them to die, but to surrender obediently. If that was the case, what was the difference between him and Li Qiang and the other party?

He can't beat someone who can be killed by Li Qiang. He who knows the times is a hero.

However, others did not understand his ideas.

They had been served really well and enjoyed so much, so how could they bear to be prisoners of others? Several of them shouted slogans of revenge and shouted unwillingly.

"Humph, you are just a rat, why should I be afraid of you?"

"Lieutenant General, you are a coward!"

Watching the crowd being instigated by a few people, Qiao Zhang was shocked to see that the little man on the city wall pulled the bowstring again.

He looked at the two of them seriously and said earnestly:

"It's not too late to surrender now. The chicken that sticks out will not have a good ending."

However, this made several people think that he was just a coward.

"I'm tired of seeing wrong, Lieutenant General. There are so many of us, so there's no need to be afraid. My fate is in my own hands, and I swear I won't be a prisoner!"

This will encourage those brothers who want to hesitate and make a dilemma.

"Brothers, if they are just rats, we will kill them!"

He cheered loudly and shouted passionately, with great enthusiasm.

whoosh-

However, with a tremor, a black light flashed, and a handful of blood flowers exploded on his chest.

Blood splattered like flowers scattered from heaven, splashing on everyone's faces. With a bang, a soundless corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Qiao Zhang was still in shock. He was right. That little kid was the powerful martial artist! But the others were terrified!

"What's the use of hiding? If you have the guts, stand up for me..."

Someone was shouting, but before he could finish his words... puff, another handful of blood bloomed.

boom--

puff-

One after another, blood flowers burst out before my eyes, corpses fell to the ground, and after the flowers bloomed, there was silence, as if it had used all its life to bloom the bright flower.

In just a few blinks of an eye, some people who had been shouting their disobedience were instantly killed, turned into speechless corpses, and fell stiffly to the ground.

When the others saw this scene, they dared not say anything more. They were all frightened and panicked. They quickly followed Qiao Zhang's example and dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered.

Oh my god, this is so scary, is this a human or a ghost?

Seeing that those people, like Li Yan, had no power to resist at all, everyone felt deeply terrified and scared of the existence behind all this!

If there was an interval between the deaths of several people, it would be fine if they just died simply.

But in just a blink of an eye, they died one after another, and their deaths were miserable and bloody, full of the art of explosion. The internal organs and intestines of the corpses were blown out, and the broken blood and organ tissues were still on their bodies, hanging on their hair, shoulders, clothes, and even weapons.

It was as if they were cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, any resistance was futile, brutally and efficiently!

Who wouldn’t be afraid of such means!

He was immediately frightened and knelt down like the deputy general, not daring to look up for a long time.

In the distance, Keqing watched the troublemakers being killed by her, and those people threw their weapons away, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and surrender. Then she nodded and directed Li Yu beside her to go and receive the prisoners.

The frightened private soldiers were extremely honest. Without their weapons, they were just strong cattle and sheep. Following Li Yu's command, they were tied up with ropes and chains and quickly captured one by one.

"Go faster!"

Looking at the heavy chain in his hand, Qiao Zhang's face turned black. He never expected that he would reach this point.

Just at this moment, a petite figure came in front of him. He looked at her and his heart tightened.

It’s that great martial artist!

She had a thin figure and eyes like bright stars. She was obviously just a little girl in her teens, but she gave off an overwhelming sense of power, like a long rainbow arrow.

"ate……"

Li Yu took out a dark ball, divided it, and handed it to everyone present, including Qiao Zhang.

Everyone hesitated to take such an obvious poison, but even in the midst of hesitation, under so many eyes

They had no choice but to swallow it and surrender.

Seeing that they had all taken the medicine, Li Yu nodded and said:

"Take our princess to the iron mine, don't play tricks, this poison is not that simple if you don't take the antidote."

"Your boss and that bastard official are long dead. Don't even think about asking others to save you. Tell me everything you know and I'll let you go dig for iron ore!"

"Otherwise, just wait for death!"

Sure enough, there was a change in Qu County, but unexpectedly the entire army was wiped out.

And that girl, is she a princess? A member of the royal family?

He should have known it long ago. Such a powerful person must have an extraordinary origin. Since he was sent by the imperial court, could it be that the imperial court already knew about the person mentioned above?

Think of this!
