Chapter 66: Cutting Grass and Eliminating Roots
There are only seven of Langtu's men left, they hurried forward while discussing something in a low voice. This time they were very unlucky and offended someone who absolutely couldn't be offended. It wouldn't be easy to explain when they got back. Could they really just swallow this anger? Had all the brothers died for nothing? Of course, they weren't qualified to make decisions, they would wait and see what the boss said when they got back.
Just as I walked into a mountain pass, a sharp and piercing sound that shook the heart came from above.
With one arrow shot, Su Tang shook his head. The Night Cry Bow was not suitable for sneak attacks, and the sharp whistling sound it emitted could only affect ordinary warriors on a spiritual level. Once they encountered an expert, it would be useless.
But where is the perfect and beautiful spiritual instrument? Xuejiu will collect Ye Kuang's bow for so long, it should have a unique value, it's just that he hasn't discovered it yet. He has only cultivated the martial arts techniques given to him by Xuejiu, and can't cultivate the techniques of operating the Night Sky Bow, so he can only put his hopes on the future.
"Watch out!" A burly man timely discovered the incoming force and took a big step forward, raising his large shield.
Boom... The big man's shield in his hand was clearly dented, his feet were shaken off the ground, flew out two or three meters away, and sat down on the ground with a thud.
At this time, Fang Yizhe darted out from behind the tree, dancing with his twin swords, and pounced on those warriors.
"They want to wipe us out completely, brothers, let's fight it out with them!"
"It's all in! Charge!"
The warriors of Langtu immediately turned red-eyed, they had enough outdoor survival experience, in the style of Langtu, this was a home-cooked meal, so they didn't rush up to surround Fang Yizhe, but instead divided into three people and rushed towards Su Tang's hiding place in three directions.
Fang Yizhe's dual swords were both swift and ruthless, his movements also very agile. He wasn't someone who could be trapped and killed in a short amount of time. If that was the case, they would only end up being picked off one by one by the hidden archers.
Su Tang drew his bow again and shot an arrow at one of the warriors.
Those warriors had already set up a barricade and upon hearing the whistling sound, they didn't care who Su Tang was shooting at, and simultaneously made evasive movements.
They just underestimated Su Tang too much. Su Tang was indeed a rookie, but he could think and explore, dig out his own potential, change his fighting mode and habits, and strive to be the best.
Just now, the sneak attack was unsuccessful, and he had already been thinking about how to improve it. The targeted warrior had just changed direction, and Su Tang's second arrow had already been shot. Two sharp whistling sounds blended together, and no one could hear that Su Tang had already shot his second arrow.
The warrior's body was still flying in the air, his toes hadn't touched the ground yet, when suddenly a burst of blood exploded from his head. Su Tang's arrow had been calculated to be slightly off target, but its force was sufficient; the back of the warrior's skull had been completely blown open, and his stiffened body fell forward with a thud.
The remaining two warriors were frightened and lay still in the grass, not daring to move for a while. They didn't move, Su Tang didn't move either, quietly waiting.
After a dozen breaths, one of the warriors couldn't help it and suddenly jumped out, rushing forward. He had learned his lesson and didn't keep going in one direction, his body dodging left and right, jumping and rolling, with varying speeds, trying to disrupt Su Tang's aim.
Su Tang smiled, this is more interesting, always shooting at a still target, it's hard not to feel bored.
Su Tang Zhang opened his night crying bow, constantly making fine adjustments to the direction, but never grasped a sure kill shot, so he also never made a move.
Very soon, the samurai was less than fifty meters away from Su Tang. Suddenly, he found that in front of the samurai, not far away, there was a big tree with a diameter of several people hugging it. He let out a light breath and aimed his Night Crying Bow at the big tree.
Just as the warrior was about to pass by the big tree, Su Tang shot an arrow. If it hadn't been disturbed, this arrow would have grazed the trunk and passed by. From a psychological point of view, upon hearing the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, the opponent should have dodged immediately, and that big tree was undoubtedly the most suitable cover.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, the samurai's expression changed to one of panic, and he suddenly changed direction, running behind a tree to hide.
Pffft...... The warrior's upper body successfully dodged, but his lower body was torn apart and blasted away by an invisible force. He couldn't die quickly and let out a series of mournful cries from behind the tree.
There was only one left, Su Tang parted the branches and looked over, just now in that warrior's hiding giant stone behind, exposed a piece of back armor, although the distance was over 100 meters away, but for Su Tang, it was already enough.
"You're also too careless..." Su Tang said softly, then drew the Night Crying Bow again, aiming at the exposed leather armor.
An invisible force burst out, that piece of armor was blown to pieces, followed by a scream from the other side, and then there was no sound.
Su Tang almost burst out laughing, in that moment when the piece of armor was blown to smithereens, he saw sparks flying out, could it be...that guy's body is made of stone? It's too ridiculous.
Su Tang jumped down from the tree, walked slowly to that side, walked to the first warrior who was shot and killed, picked up the corpse with one hand, and held the long sword of that warrior with the other hand, turned around and walked towards that huge stone.
When there were still three or four meters away, Su Tang raised his hand and threw the corpse over first, waited for a moment, then jumped up and leaped over the huge stone.
"Ah……" A furious roar came from behind the giant stone, and the warrior pressed down on the corpse with one hand, holding a dagger in the other, frantically stabbing and slashing at the body. His movements were swift, and in an instant he had stabbed five or six times. Suddenly, he realized something was off, and he raised his head abruptly, but it was too late. A bright sword light pierced through his forehead.
Su Tang strode towards Fang Yizhe, who was also almost done for. One of the warriors holding a large shield and battle-axe had already fallen into a pool of blood, while another warrior holding a long spear had thrown away his weapon and was slowly collapsing to the ground with his hands clutching at his throat. The two female warriors had lost their courage to fight and were huddled together on the ground, embracing each other and crying out in despair: "Don't kill me... please... we'll give you anything..."
Fang Yizhe furrowed his brow and sheathed his twin swords with a clang.
"I can't bear it anymore." Su Tang said with a smile, as he walked past the corpse of a warrior, his toes lifted and picked up the warrior's battle axe, holding it lightly in his hand.
"They don't fight with me." Fang Yizhe said somewhat helplessly: "I'm a man of principle."
"I like people with principles." Su Tang raised his battle-axe and slashed diagonally, striking a female warrior's neck, almost severing it entirely. Blood spurted high into the air. Then Su Tang added, "Although your principles are open to discussion."
The remaining female warrior screamed and pushed away her companions, rolling and crawling to try to get away from Sutang. In fact, she still had some fighting power and could at least handle one or two moves, but her will was taken away, and she completely forgot how to resist, leaving only the idea of escaping.
Su Tang's foot stepped on the female warrior's lower back, and the axe light fell down, splitting the female warrior's occipital bone.
The female warrior's body struggled softly for a few moments before becoming still again.
"You must have completed many tasks before? You're definitely famous in your place." Fang Yizhe said softly. Su Tang's ruthless methods also made him feel surprised.
"Why say that?" Su Tang smiled and threw away the battle axe.
"Because you're absolutely not a novice." Fang Yizhe said: "However, it's definitely your first time entering Yunshui Ze?"
"How did you guess?" Su Tang asked.
"Do you still need to guess?" Fang Yizhe shook his head: "That's a ghost-faced spider, and you actually dared to stretch out your hand..."
Fang Yizhe said that two people were chasing after the wolf-like warrior, and a small episode occurred in the process. They were walking through the dense forest, and a spider web appeared in front of them. Su Tang, who was walking in front, stretched out his hand to brush away the spider web, not wanting it to stick to his body. Fang Yizhe saw the ghost-faced spider in the center of the spider web at a glance, immediately drew his sword, and with a flash of light, he stabbed past Su Tang's body, sending the ghost-faced spider flying.
Xiǎo Rú lets the wolf map warrior leave, Sū Táng and Fāng Yǐ Zhé both have misgivings in their hearts, they see through each other's thoughts, make an excuse to avoid going aside to discuss, then come to a sudden agreement, and together go after.
Langtu has a great reputation in Ba Mian Cheng and is not easy to mess with. Even if he doesn't dare to cause trouble for the Xi family, others might not be so lucky. Of course, they need to cut the grass and eliminate the roots.
At this time, Su Tang and Fang Yizhe just thought that each other was very pleasing to the eye and could cooperate.
After that little episode, Fang Yizhe's mentality changed greatly. He suddenly drew his sword. If Su Tang had any vigilance in her heart, she would have reacted immediately and might even have launched a counterattack. But Su Tang was frozen at the time, her body not moving at all.
Fang Yizhe thought he had gained Su Tang's trust because she was completely unguarded against him, and if he really wanted to do something, one sword would be enough to kill her.
In fact, Su Tang judged that Fang Yizhe's sword light would not hurt him with a keen sense of intuition that ordinary people could not match, and he didn't know what was going on. To avoid misunderstandings, he remained still.
This can also be considered a fortunate misunderstanding, as their relationship and trust in each other have been greatly strengthened.
"Let's go back, they must be waiting anxiously." Su Tang said.
"Wait a minute, let me search them." Fang Yizhe showed an embarrassed smile, and then added: "You're following the master of the house, you might not mind these things, but I..."
"I understand, I understand." Su Tang nodded and said.
Su Tang and Fang Yizhe went back and forth, taking almost two hours. When they left, it was just past noon, but when they returned, the sun had already set in the west. Xi Xiao Ru and others were indeed impatient, and upon seeing their figures, Zhou Qian complained: "Where did you guys go? Why did it take so long?"
Xiǎo Xiǎorú's gaze was a bit strange, her mind was simple, but simplicity wasn't stupidity. Just now, she had just chased away the wolf map warrior, and then Sū Táng and Fāng Yǐ Zhé suddenly disappeared without a trace. The answer was already obvious, however, she didn't bother to think about it: "Little three, find a place to rest, ah... right, can you find a cleaner spot?"
"Big brother, where is a clean place in this muddy water? Let's just make do." Su Tang said.
"I actually know a place, and it's not far from here." Fang Yizhe said suddenly.
"Really?" Xiǎo Rú's eyes lit up: "Lead the way ahead."
