Chapter 144: Wipe Out the Enemy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shen Yufeng’s expression was ugly. “General, they are from the army!” Only soldiers in the army could use crossbows. This was the rule of the Daling Dynasty.

Before Tang Jinghong could speak, the man on the canyon ordered coldly, “Kill! Leave no one alive!”

To be able to use the sound of the flute to make the poisonous snakes retreat, Chu Qingzhi was definitely more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Perhaps, she was even more difficult to deal with than Tang Jinghong!

As soon as he finished speaking, all the men in black raised their crossbows and shot an arrow at the same time.

Immediately, arrows rained down from both sides of the canyon, bringing with them whistling sounds as they shot towards the few of them. The arrows reflected cold light under the sunlight.

The soldiers who followed Tang Jinghong were all experienced and well-trained. It was not difficult for them to block the arrows with their swords.

Crackle…

Tang Jinghong brought Chu Qingzhi to a tree. He stood in front of her and waved his sword, blocking all the arrows.

At the moment of life and death, Chu Qingzhi naturally wouldn’t just hide behind Tang Jinghong.

She picked up a branch that was two fingers wide and injected spiritual power into it. She walked out from behind Tang Jinghong and flew up the canyon as she blocked the arrows.

It was obvious that these people were well-prepared. They had to kill them. They could not just defend. Otherwise, when they were exhausted, they would become fish on the chopping block.

When Tang Jinghong saw this scene, his eyes widened. He could not help but be frightened. The arrows that filled the sky were like a net. It was too dangerous. “Qingzhi!”

He chased after her without hesitation…

When the man saw that Chu Qingzhi actually dared to fly up and that the rain of arrows could not do anything to her, his face darkened.

He took out a crossbow and aimed it at Chu Qingzhi.

“This crossbow has been modified. Its power is ten times that of ordinary crossbows and it can shoot out thirty arrows in one go. I wonder how you can block it.”

He sneered and pulled the trigger. Heavy arrows shot at Chu Qingzhi.

The men in black also cooperated with the man and aimed the arrow at Chu Qingzhi.

Immediately, another round of arrows rained down at Chu Qingzhi.

The man laughed arrogantly. “Haha, with a mortal body, let’s see how you can come out of it alive.”

Tang Jinghong shouted, “Qingzhi, be careful!”

Seeing this, Chu Qingzhi reached out and grabbed an arrow that flew past her. She turned the arrow and threw it, causing it to collide with the other arrows.

This scene shocked everyone.

How strong was Chu Qingzhi’s arm to be able to do this?

In his shock, the man shot three arrows at Chu Qingzhi in a row. The men in black also took out stronger crossbows and shot.

Tang Jinghong suddenly flew towards Chu Qingzhi and hugged her. After he spun around to protect Chu Qingzhi in his arms, an arrow pierced his back.

Chu Qingzhi felt Tang Jinghong’s body tremble slightly and a muffled groan sounded.

“Jinghong!” Chu Qingzhi’s heart ached. She hurriedly hugged Tang Jinghong and flew back while blocking the arrows with a tree branch.

At this moment, Tang Jinghong spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body was corroded by the poison and he had no strength at all. If not for Chu Qingzhi supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.

“Jinghong!” Chu Qingzhi accelerated and flew to the ground. Without asking, she knew that Jinghong had been poisoned. The other party came prepared and would definitely not use ordinary poison.

Shen Yufeng cursed, “How dare you? Not only did you use the crossbows that only soldiers can use, but you also used poison. Do you have no fear for the Imperial Court?”

The man said casually, “If I kill all of you, who would know that I’ve used a crossbow?!”

As he spoke, he shot another arrow at Shen Yufeng. “I’ll let you taste the power of the improved crossbow before you die!”

Shen Yufeng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He wished he could cut the man into pieces. “I’m going to kill you!”

The sound of arrows piercing through flesh could be heard. Two soldiers were hit at the same time. After being hit by the arrows, their reaction speed slowed down and they were immediately hit by more arrows. Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths as they slowly fell to the ground. “General, you have to live and avenge us!”

Tang Jinghong opened his eyes weakly and looked at the soldiers. His eyes were filled with pain. They were all brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him. “If I can make it out this time, I will definitely avenge you!”

Chu Qingzhi placed Tang Jinghong on the rock and used her spiritual power to defend. Her spiritual power formed a transparent barrier around her and Tang Jinghong. Once the arrows hit the barrier, they would automatically be deflected to the sides.

While defending, she looked up at the people on the canyon. No, if this continued, they would definitely be wiped out!

“Pfft!” Another soldier fell.

“Pfft!” Yuan Hongjun was also hit by a heavy arrow. “It hurts!”

Chu Qingzhi took out the flute and activated all her remaining spiritual power to play a sharp tune.

The tune was so ear-piercing that it hurt the eardrums.

If the previous tune was like a gentle breeze and drizzle, this time, it was like a storm.

If not for the fact that she had used too much spiritual power to control the snake just now, she would have killed these people in an instant!

When the man saw Chu Qingzhi take out the flute again, he had a bad feeling and immediately ordered, “Kill Chu Qingzhi first.”

Immediately, all the arrows flew towards Chu Qingzhi.

“Qingzhi!” In a moment of desperation, Tang Jinghong spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

The sharp tune flew into the distance. Not long after, the sound of wild beasts running could be heard from the forest. It was accompanied by low roars that made people shudder.

Those men in black were mortals. How could they not be afraid? “Master, what’s going on?”

The man turned around and saw a group of wolves, tigers, and black bears running in their direction. Their eyes were red and they were aggressive.

A trace of fear flashed across the man’s eyes as he said hurriedly, “Shoot them, shoot them!”

Immediately, most of the men in black aimed their crossbows at the beasts.

However, wild beasts were much stronger than humans. Even if they were poisoned, they wouldn’t feel the effect of the poison so early and were still charging forward.

Soon, the men in black were hit and fell from the canyon one after another.

The canyon was at least 500 meters tall. The rocks at the bottom were craggy. If they fell, they would be finished.

While the men in black were dealing with the wild beasts, the pressure on Shen Yufeng’s side decreased a lot. His hand that was holding the sword was already extremely sore.

This time, he could finally catch his breath.

The wild beasts were very irritable. Coupled with the fact that they were attacked, they were even more ferocious. They were determined to die with the men in black.

With the help of the beast army, in ten minutes, all the men in black were either bitten to death or fell to the bottom of the canyon. It was unknown if they were dead or alive..
