0009 The last piercing arrow will send you on your way.
it's wired.
The Imperial Guards attacked me?
This is impossible!
Yuwen Zhe's mind went blank.
Ten piercing arrows, like roaring poisonous dragons, hurtled towards them.
boom! boom! boom!
His protective jade pendant shone brightly.
But it was too late.
The shield, hastily deployed at such close range, was extremely fragile.
Even precious artifacts are useless.
With a loud crash, the protective shield shattered.
They managed to stop only three [Bone-Piercing Arrows].
"Young Master!!!"
Wei Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his aura transformed into boundless golden light as he tried to protect Yuwen Zhe.
But it still didn't work!
The distance was too great; even the Golden Bell Shield could only block two arrows.
The remaining five bone-piercing arrows all pierced through Yuwen Zhe's body.
These are the hands, the feet, and the heart.
Yuwen Zhe coughed up blood, as if his collarbone had been pierced, and collapsed to the ground, weak and feeble.
puff!
The once elegant young nobleman in flowing white robes now looked as disheveled as a stray dog on the street.
It felt as if someone had kicked him to death.
Five vibrant, blood-red flower buds bloomed in the air.
He didn't even realize it.
Have the Embroidered Uniform Guards gone mad?
Do you know who my father is?
Do you know who my fourth brother is?
What's the use of that!
It doesn't matter whose son or whose brother you are.
Death is the same for everyone.
Yuwen Zhe finally realized the truth.
I'm going to die.
died!
The fear of death gripped him, and only two thoughts echoed in his mind:
Father, save me!
Fourth brother, save me!
At that moment, the jade pendant with the unicorn on his chest seemed to hear Yuwen Zhe's cry for help, bursting out with brilliant light and protecting his heart meridian.
A mid-grade treasure, the Qilin Jade Pendant.
Although it couldn't stop all the piercing arrows, it could forcibly prolong Yuwen Zhe's life.
Innate martial artists possess naturally strong physical bodies, making them difficult to injure with ordinary weapons.
But the Bone-Piercing Arrow is different; it possesses three major characteristics: armor-piercing, corrosive, and penetrating, capable of severely injuring innate masters and threatening grandmasters.
The arrows were also coated with a deadly poison.
However, it is very expensive to manufacture and can only be used once.
The fact that Yuwen Zhe survived being struck by five arrows demonstrates the power of the Qilin Jade Pendant.
But Zhao Jing's killer moves don't stop there.
The blood crow in his hand was already impatient.
kill!
The moment the crossbow bolt was fired, the blood crow had already taken flight, heading straight for Yuwen Zhe.
Roar!
Seeing that there was no time to lose, Wei Zheng roared like a lion, and the air froze.
The released true energy condensed into a large bell, which crashed down with a roar.
Stop him!
The hundred households discarded their crossbows and drew their swords, forming the Dragon-Locking Formation, their true energy merging together.
Ten streams of innate true energy converged and transformed into a giant blood crow.
The giant crow swooped down on Yuwen Zhe, fearing that the Golden Bell's protection would ruin everything.
The clock struck a giant crow.
hum! ! !
The golden bells rang out, deafeningly loud.
The hundred households were dizzy and their eyes were blurred, and blood was flowing from their seven orifices.
Half-step Grandmaster, dominating the battlefield.
The bell smashed the two blood crows, one large and one small.
The two blood crows instantly turned into black mist.
Blood trickled from the corner of Zhao Jing's mouth.
A half-step Grandmaster, that's terrifying.
Wei Zheng alone could kill everyone here.
Wei Zheng defeated his enemy with a single move and then shot straight at Yuwen Zhe like an arrow released from a bow.
"quick!"
"Dragon-Locking Formation!"
Otherwise we would all die.
The villagers were shocked to discover that Wei Zheng was so powerful, and their expressions changed drastically.
The Blood Raven Flying Carriage erupted with a scarlet light.
Countless blood-red crows flew out of the sedan chair, their ferocity extraordinary.
They pounced on Wei Zheng, intending to tear him to death.
coming.
When Wei Zheng saw the swarm of blood-red crows rushing towards him, his expression hardened, and a brilliant golden light shone forth.
His heart suddenly raced, his feet felt like the roots of an old tree, he suddenly lowered his waist, and his blood and qi began to boil.
Wei Zheng used his shoulders and back as a weapon, charging forward with his entire body!
The blood crows swooped down, but could not break through the golden light in the slightest. Even worse, those blood crows that collided with the golden light all turned into black mist.
It only serves to deplete one's true energy.
Zhao Jing stared at the battlefield, his expression extremely solemn. The moment of bayonet fighting had arrived.
Wei Zheng was like a towering iron mountain, crushing down upon them with unyielding might.
Everything that stands in his way will be reduced to dust.
Golden Bell Cover - Mountain-Crushing Force!
"Quickly, use the shields!"
Zhao Jing manipulated Li Shuo from behind the scenes, quickly issuing orders.
Three centurions raised their shields, channeled their inner energy, and stood in front of Wei Zheng.
Blood Raven Shield – Impregnable!
The three Blood Raven shields had just been deployed when Wei Zheng crashed into them.
boom!!
The shields in the hands of the three centurions collapsed instantly upon impact, unable to withstand the impact for even a moment.
The protective aura shield shattered, and the weapon-grade shield was twisted and torn apart like paper.
The three centurions lost feeling in their hands the instant they collided, as if they were facing a collapsing mountain.
The next second, their bones cracked loudly, and they coughed up blood.
hold onto!
I can't hold on any longer.
The three centurions blocking the way let out a mournful cry.
Even if you can't hold on, you have to hold on.
Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed, and he used the power of the pagoda to concentrate all the power of the Dragon Locking Formation on the three of them.
One is a golden bell shield that gleams with golden light, and the other is a blood-red raven shield that is stained with crimson blood.
Two enormous forces, much like giant battering rams pounding a sturdy city wall.
puff!
Wei Zheng was finally forced back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Did you win?
No.
Forces act in pairs.
Three centurions were killed when their shields were shattered!
Their bodies were deformed from the impact, their bones were broken, and they died on the spot.
"Sword Star, Yichuan, Shen Lian!"
The surviving members of the Imperial Guards were greatly alarmed.
Three innate martial artists, working together, could only manage to block Wei Zheng's charge.
The three brothers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard died in battle on the same day.
How terrifying!
Wei Zheng's expression also changed. He solemnly took out a pill, gritted his teeth for a moment, and swallowed it.
Because these centurions were by no means ordinary people.
Most of them were at the initial stage of the Innate Realm, and Wei Zheng could kill them effortlessly in a one-on-one fight.
However, at this moment, they have formed a battle formation, and with a master of mystical arts behind them, they are no ordinary force.
The collision just now shattered countless blood crows and killed three centurions, but that doesn't mean he wasn't injured.
Even more frightening is the presence of a dangerous thorn in one's back.
Bao'er no longer hid; her heart raced and her blood boiled.
The secrets of the mind are unlocked.
Her murderous intent was already locked onto Wei Zheng.
Once both sides are severely injured, Bao'er will use her "Divine Speed" to take their lives.
Wei Zheng wouldn't have been injured; he was able to shatter the Dragon Locking Formation.
But Bao'er's presence forced him to hold back some of his energy.
What should I do?
Bao'er stayed far away, keeping Wei Zheng occupied, which made him feel extremely frustrated.
"This move is called 'Tiger in the Mountain'."
"Bao'er, remember this: never strike before the time is right. Wait until he is exhausted and obey my command before you can kill him with one blow."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Bao'er obeyed the order and maintained a hunting posture from a distance.
Wei Zheng first tried to fake a serious injury to lure Bao'er into making a move.
Now that his plan to lure the enemy had failed, he could only angrily rebuke the delaying tactics:
"Li Shuo, are you all crazy?"
"Do you know who this is?"
"If anything happens to the young master, your entire families will be executed!"
Wei Zheng was puzzled. Could these Imperial Guards be assassins of the Crown Prince?
Even if they really are princelings, the situation is now settled, there's no need to risk their entire family's lives.
Wei Zheng was completely baffled.
Unbeknownst to him, the centurions wore knowing smiles.
This Yuwen Zhe was indeed an imposter.
His true identity is Zhao Jing, the grandson of the Emperor of Dayong.
Fortunately, Lord Qianhu used his mystical arts to foresee your scheme!
Zhao Jing, manipulating Li Shuo, sneered:
"Of course we know."
"We're arresting you!"
"Brothers, avenge our three brothers!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Imperial Guards, remembering their fallen comrades, were filled with righteous indignation and roared in unison:
"We will definitely take down the remnants of the Crown Prince's faction."
With a roar, countless blood crows emerged again, covering the sky and earth.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng stood there dumbfounded.
What?
Are we remnants of the Crown Prince's faction?
Where are your brains?
Wei Zheng was so angry that his three internal organs flared up.
He finally understood what the Embroidered Uniform Guards were thinking, mistaking Young Master Yuwen for a remnant of the Crown Prince.
"You bunch..."
Before the word "idiot" could be uttered, a figure suddenly darted out from the densely fogged forest.
Taking advantage of the standoff, the figure grabbed Yuwen Zhe and fled.
The visitor was none other than Chen Zhong.
"Your Highness, I will definitely protect you!"
"Lord Wei, quickly kill these Imperial Guards! We'll meet up in the northwest corner!"
Chen Zhong sprinted at full speed.
The moment the battle began, he quickly swallowed the Heavenly King Life-Saving Pill to restore his true energy and open up his acupoints.
Wei Zheng had completely forgotten about him, but little did he know that Chen Zhong had not gone far away, but was lying in wait.
Because Bao'er told him, he followed the plan and kidnapped Yuwen Zhe to gain leverage.
We must help Your Highness to kill Wei Zheng.
"You beast!"
Wei Zheng realized he had fallen into a trap.
Zhao Jing used his mystical arts to help Chen Zhong escape, further confirming that Wei Zheng was a remnant of the Crown Prince's faction.
Wei Zheng tried his best to explain:
"That's the seventh young master of the Yuwen family, not Zhao Jing!"
Do you think we'd believe such nonsense?
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were all die-hard loyalists of Li Shuo, and had long been brainwashed by metaphysics, believing in it without a doubt.
Countless blood crows swarmed around, their eyes filled with bloodlust.
Li Shuo immediately issued an order:
"Kill Wei Zheng first, then pursue the imperial grandson!"
"Yes, sir!"
Wei Zheng is taking this opportunity to vent his anger; this must be resolved as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jing decided to resort to extreme measures, giving the order with a cold expression:
"Brothers, offer the sacrifice!"
"For Her Highness's sake, we must win."
The centurions trembled, but still agreed:
"Yes, sir!"
Now the eldest princess has won a great victory, and power has been reshuffled.
Only by capturing Zhao Jing could they gain merit and protect themselves.
The surviving Imperial Guards all took out daggers and cut their palms.
Blood sacrifice ritual!
The members of the Hundred Households used their own blood and essence as a catalyst to perform a blood sacrifice technique, strengthening the Blood Raven horde.
Countless blood crows devoured the true spirits and blood essence of their fallen comrades.
The legendary Blood God seemed to have enjoyed the offerings, received the blood food, and blessed Li Shuo.
For masters of mystical arts, two things are of utmost importance.
One is faith, the other is blood offerings.
The two complement each other.
Both faith and blood offerings can increase one's mystical power.
What a wondrous power.
Zhao Jing's Xuan power, which he had just expended, was fully replenished, and he then used it to further strengthen the Blood Ravens and even the centurions.
Let them see illusions; we must fight Wei Zheng to the death!
Fight!
Wei Zheng wanted to chase after Chen Zhong to save Yuwen Zhe, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard had the Blood Crow Flying Sedan Chair in their hands.
Once he tracks them down, he'll only be relentlessly pursued by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
This kind of combat is more dangerous.
In any case, we must first defeat the enemy at hand.
Upon realizing this, the golden light on Wei Zheng's body suddenly dimmed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the berserk Blood Raven quickly broke through the golden light, leaving wounds on Wei Zheng's body.
This scene is remarkably similar to Zhao Jing's experience in the illusion.
Besides the physical body's sturdiness, the most crucial element of the Golden Bell Shield is the protective shield formed by true qi.
In his previous life, Wei Zheng could have used his true qi shield to fight against a main battle tank.
Shotguns and sniper rifles are a joke against this monster.
But even a half-step grandmaster like him didn't bother with defense.
What does this illustrate?
kill!
Wei Zheng let out a low roar, ignoring everyone around him, and used his waist to stomp on the ground, causing it to crack instantly.
He charged straight at Li Shuo like a cannonball.
Injury for a kill, capture the kingpin to capture the thief!
Only by killing Li Shuo can the Dragon-Unlocking Formation be completely broken.
"Protect the adults!"
Wei Zheng's madness startled even the Imperial Guards.
All the Blood Ravens and the seven centurions charged toward Wei Zheng.
Unexpectedly, a sinister smile appeared on Wei Zheng's face.
He disrupted the rhythm of the Imperial Guards, causing the distance between them to become inconsistent.
The first commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was only five steps away from him.
It's now!
Wei Zheng abruptly changed direction while speeding along, disregarding the risk of injury, and suddenly launched a counterattack.
Shattered Jade Palm!
Such fast hands.
Baihu swung his sword to block, but a flash of golden light appeared.
"A chop to the neck."
This was his last thought.
The embroidered spring knife broke, and the head and body were separated.
"Loyalty to the end!"
The remaining Imperial Guards let out a mournful cry.
The Golden Bell Cover is known as an impregnable fortress.
The Shattered Jade Palm is the nemesis of external martial arts techniques.
Thanks to the Fourth Young Master's favor, Wei Zheng grew from an ordinary innate master to a half-step grandmaster.
With two sets of unique skills in hand, one can roam freely in the martial arts world.
He feigned an attack on Li Shuo, but in reality, he was trying to eliminate his supporters.
As soon as Wei Zheng killed Chen Jinzhong, he immediately rushed to the next centurion.
Others shouted:
"Watch out, Yun Tian!"
Don't even think about it!
The centurion named Yun Tian's eyes flashed fiercely, and the embroidered spring knife gleamed with intense blood.
Blood Blade!
He can actually use blade energy.
If Wei Zheng takes a step back, the other brothers who have arrived can join forces to kill him.
However, things did not go as planned.
As the blood-red blade struck, Wei Zheng, relying on his Golden Bell Shield, neither dodged nor evaded.
The blade's edge pierced his chest, and a searing pain pierced through his golden shield!
It wasn't like being slashed with a knife; it was more like being branded with a red-hot iron, making a sizzling sound.
Wei Zheng could even smell something burning.
so what?
I'll take this hit!
boom!
It was the Shattered Jade Palm again.
The excruciating pain ignited Wei Zheng's ferocity; he abandoned all defense and clasped his hands together.
Like a bird flying into the forest, it pierces through the sky.
"How ruthless!"
Before dying, Yun Tian murmured something and then collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
But the battle is not over yet.
Seeing this, the remaining five men stopped separating and all drew their swords.
In an instant, sword energy surged forth!
Countless trees were slashed by the tail of the blade's energy and fell to the ground.
They were like death warrants, sending Wei Zheng to hell.
Clang!
Wei Zheng's armor was completely shattered, and he had five bloody marks on his body. His Golden Bell Shield was almost broken.
But he is still fighting.
How come they're still alive?
Not to mention Li Shuo, even the centurions were somewhat terrified.
Wei Zheng's strategy of trading injury for life has yielded amazing results.
kill!
Without stopping, he rushed straight for the Blood Raven Flying Carriage.
One game decides the outcome.
"Stop him!"
Li Shuo's tone was somewhat flustered. The Xuan power he had just recovered dissipated like a tide, transforming into a huge beam of blood-red light that enveloped the surroundings.
The remaining five people reacted, and their auras surged.
Initial stage of innate cultivation, early stage of innate cultivation, middle stage of innate cultivation.
Their hearts raced, their blood boiled, as if they had grasped the secrets of the mind.
Burn!
You must contribute all your strength.
Zhao Jing's will resonated in the minds of the centurions.
Yes, sir!
Five embroidered spring knives were aimed at Wei Zheng, all abandoning their defenses and trading their lives for his!
But Wei Zheng was faster.
The entire Dragon Locking Formation was on the verge of collapse, and the flock of blood crows blocking its way were all knocked down by the Shattered Jade Palm.
He has only one goal.
Li Shuo.
A genius of mystical arts among the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
He cultivates the Blood Scripture, the treasured manual of the Blood Feather Palace, a sect in Yanzhou that is both righteous and evil.
Legend has it that he was highly regarded by the eldest princess and would one day, together with Feng Zhile, control the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard.
But compared to Yuwen Zhe's life, these are insignificant.
He must die!
Wei Zheng ignored the five embroidered spring knives and headed straight for Li Shuo.
On the Blood Raven Flying Carriage, Li Shuo seemed to reveal a hint of fear.
Shattered Jade Palm!
Wei Zheng struck out with a palm in anger, but his hand passed through a blur.
The head exploded under his palm, turning into black smoke and dissipating.
It's all fake, completely fake.
There was no one inside the sedan chair!
The sedan chair was also fake.
We've fallen for their trap!
Wei Zheng felt a chill run down his spine, and his aura instantly intensified.
The aura pierced through the mist and locked onto a shadow a hundred meters away.
There is also a Blood Raven Flying Carriage there.
Zhao Jing lifted the sedan curtain, his face full of a smug smile, and in his hand was the last Divine Crossbow.
Ten Jinyiwei centurions, plus Li Shuo, a total of eleven people, only fired ten bone-piercing arrows.
With such poor math skills, you deserve to lose.
Zhao Jing manipulated Li Shuo to pull the trigger.
The last piercing arrow is for you.
At the same time, five cold embroidered spring knives pierced through Wei Zheng's chest from behind.
kill!
