CHAPTER 943: CHAPTER 73: THE REAL CULPRIT REVEALS HIMSELF (2)

As long as you step on the Flying Sword, you can leave in the blink of an eye.

But now, there are still two kids inside the house.

He can summon the Spiritual Beasts away with the Summoning Skill, but these two people will be in danger.

Earlier, to confirm the position on the map, he flew around using Sword Control Technique, and the Dark Energy is already low.

If he carries three people now, the consumption will definitely be insufficient.

Pei Laoliu pondered ways to solve the predicament.

He plans to retreat into the house first, attempt to use the Flying Sword for long-range killing, while tearing up the Spirit Binding Scroll to boost himself with Constitution Enhancement.

Over there, the leading officer is also showing a murderous look at this moment.

He originally received a secret order to search for something, and because it was of significant importance, everyone who saw them along the way had to be cleaned up, leaving none alive.

A few days ago, they entered this small village. After gathering some information, they brutally slaughtered the entire village, not even sparing a dog.

However, it was a pity that he could not get the desired information from the villagers.

Earlier, he actually didn’t see how the opponent killed several of his subordinates.

He only heard a piercing sound, unclear whether it was the sound of a sword or something else.

But what he knew was, his subordinates were the most elite Divine Shooters in the army.

Being able to kill them at such a long range shows just how formidable that person’s strength is.

And he hasn’t immediately ordered the opposite side to be shot, holding onto a mindset of what if.

This old man possesses such strength and appears in these mountains; perhaps he knows something about that matter?

As long as he captures him, after some harsh interrogation, won’t he spill the beans?

Just as he was pondering how to make the other person speak, he saw a silver light flashing in front of him.

The next second, a dizzying sensation came, and a headless body appeared before him.

Before he could wonder, consciousness had already plunged into eternal darkness.

Pei Laoliu was just worried about not finding the boss of this group, but out came that guy himself.

This guy babbled a bunch of things, but the distance was too far for him to hear what was being said.

However, as long as the person appeared, it was fine.

He knew well the principle of capturing the leader first in a group, after all, both parties were already in a life-and-death struggle, where there’s no need to talk about martial ethics.

So, he immediately initiated the Sword Control Technique, directly severing that guy’s head, catching them off guard.

Those soldiers had not expected that the opponent could launch an attack from such a distance.

Moreover, the method was so strange that it was unclear what had occurred.

At this moment, the sound of sword clanging resounded, and the Mountain and River Sword transformed into a silver-white light threading through the crowd.

Anyone daring to stand in its way would end up pierced.

No matter how fine those soldiers’ armor was, it was no match for the Mountain and River Sword; everyone was like tofu, crumbling at a touch.

"Demon, Demon Art!

As the Mountain and River Sword paused, someone finally realized what had killed their companions, discovering it was a gleaming treasure sword.

Although this world contains martial arts and inner strength, they had never seen such bizarre and magical methods.

At this moment, everyone was shocked by what was happening before their eyes, and the scene began to descend into chaos.

However, these people were elite soldiers, and although the General’s death and their opponent’s bizarre methods had temporarily confused them.

Under the Deputy General’s organization, everyone was soon back in formation, launching a counterattack.

"Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz!"

Hundreds of arrows shot forth, a dark mass, quite magnificent.

Master Liu had already taken shelter in the house immediately.

But the house wasn’t sturdy, so he also brought over some furniture, letting Li Qiang and the others hide behind it.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Hundreds of arrows struck this small area, some embedding in the house’s bricks, while others penetrating the wood and windows, flying into the room.

Pei Laoliu’s Flying Sword had just flown back.

Though the attack method of Sword Control Technique is powerful, it lacks durability.

After attacking a few times, it needs to be retrieved to launch again, consuming a lot of energy, which Master Liu could barely use a few times.

Without hesitation, he ripped the Constitution Enhancement Scroll, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Those outside seemed frightened by the previous attack, launching wave after wave of arrows as if they wanted to fill even the space within the house.

Finally, the commotion outside ceased.

Master Liu’s Constitution Enhancement had accumulated sufficiently, with more acute senses, faintly hearing some commotion from that side.

"Kill him! Kill him! Don’t let him escape!"

"He’s behind! Quick! Surround him!"

"Don’t shoot arrows! It’ll hurt our own people! Put them away quickly!"

"..."

Master Liu was stirred; it seemed more people had arrived, perhaps Yan Jiantong?

He advised the two people, one dog, and one fox not to run around, then opened the door and stepped out.

Immediately, he saw a white figure darting around amid the soldiers.

He occasionally slapped with a sound like a dragon’s roar, fighting the hundreds with his own might.

"Yan Jiantong, it’s indeed him!"

Pei Laoliu’s face brightened with joy, as this lad always appears timely.

He certainly couldn’t let the reinforcements fight alone, so he immediately turned his Sword Control Technique and joined the battle.

One was in close combat, one long-range, working together to catch those soldiers off guard.

Although the numbers of both sides were vastly different, under such attack, even those elite soldiers began to lose morale.

At this point, another small squad charged out from the woods towards the house behind them.

Master Liu noticed this and cursed inwardly, rushing back to support.

Although Yan Jiantong was a top master in the martial world, he couldn’t resist hundreds of elite soldiers with just his strength, so he went to join with Master Liu.

"Humph! A bunch of incompetents! Thankfully the Prince sent me to support you, or else you lot would have all been wiped out by these two martial world people!"

A General on horseback came over, loudly scolding the Deputy General.

The Deputy General’s face turned red, but he couldn’t refute.

He wanted to say that the green elder was not someone from the martial world, but a demon who could control a sword.

But under the other’s powerful aura of oppression, he stammered a few words, unable to clearly explain the situation.

"Alright, leave it to me here. Now the Prince should know who’s truly useful to him."

The General glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, snorting disdainfully.

"Red Sun Guards, listen! Everyone draw bows! Aim!"

With his command, all the soldiers raised their bows, aiming toward the house.

These bows seemed better crafted than those used by the previous soldiers, each nine feet long, requiring two people to draw.

They looked less like bows and more like small ballistae.

If such bows fired a shot, the house surely wouldn’t withstand it, penetrating through inside as well.

Pei Laoliu saw this scene and gathered the last bit of Sword Control Technique, ready to forcibly leave with the others.

Though it consumed a lot and he couldn’t run far, he could at least escape the immediate predicament.

"Release the arrows!"

With the General’s command, strings vibrated in a series of sounds, dozens of giant arrows shot toward the house.

"Heh heh."

The man’s face revealed a hint of a smile, as if victory was already in his grasp.

However, in the next moment, his smile froze.

Because before him, the overwhelming arrows all suddenly stopped in mid-flight.

Then, they hung quietly in the air, as if immobilized by a spell.
