Chapter 146: Changing Life
Boom! !
The entire Snake Fish Town seemed to be experiencing earth-shaking turmoil.
"What?"
"The monster from Ping'an Road has come to Snake Fish Town!"
On the street of Yaochai City, Li Yuancheng jumped up to the roof and saw the team of demons with yellow scarves rushing towards the public house like an army.
With just a preliminary estimate, he could roughly calculate that there were at least five hundred people in the demon team!
I don't know why.
At this moment, Li Yuancheng's heart surged with overwhelming passion and joy.
"Well done, well done!!"
He was a veteran who had fought hundreds of battles on the battlefield, and was used to death and injury on the battlefield. At that time, every battle on the battlefield meant not only the risk of death, but also death and military merit.
If he hadn't been framed by someone, he would have been able to climb up to the rank of junior colonel in the army no matter what, and it was not impossible for him to even be a captain.
Nowadays, although the official has been restored to his original position as deputy chief catcher, as long as he is a member of the government and has some ambitions for his future, who is willing to stand still.
"Everyone, the demons have attacked Snake Fish Town. Military merits, military merits are here!!"
Therefore, Li Yuancheng shouted loudly, and without hesitation, he drew his sword in the direction of Gong Xi and killed him.
"Monster! Military merit!"
The other head catchers who were traveling with him were basically in a similar mood, not surprised but happy.
Their minds are simple.
Originally, I followed the city guards into the mountains. I thought it was just a formality, but I didn't expect how many Ping An Tao demons I would encounter.
But now.
These daring demons of Ping'an Dao, knowing that their officers and soldiers were coming to quell the demons, did not even think about escaping into the mountains. Instead, they dared to fight back against the imperial court!
This is already a rebellion! !
This means that peaceful demons are not a concept at all. Invisibly, what they have to do now will be replaced from 'pacifying demons' to 'counterinsurgency'...
The difference between these two meanings means that the credit they imply is also completely different.
Killing a rebel and killing a monster is worth the price in heaven and on earth!
"Rebellion! Ping'an Dao is rebelling! It's all about military merit, kill him!"
In an instant, the eyes of these catchers turned red, and together with Li Yuancheng, they all surrounded the public house.
Chen Ku was also on the roof not far away, holding on to the eaves with his two claws, looking in the direction of the couple who were already fighting with each other in shock.
"Good fellow, Ping An Dao is not pretending at all, is he really going to rise up?"
He couldn't help but reflect on himself.
Originally, he just wanted to divert trouble to the east and let Ping'an Dao, who had conflicts with him and Yaowangtang, take the blame for him and divert the attention of the government.
But he didn't expect that a random flapping of his wings would lead to an immediate uprising on Ping'an Road?
but,
On second thought:
"No, I'm trying to put money on my face. This group of monsters from Ping'an Road have never been good people from the beginning. They practice medicine for free and gather the faith of rural people. Their plot is probably not trivial. What I'm doing here is It’s just a small episode at best.”
Even without him, Ping An Road would do this sooner or later.
At most, it's a few days ahead of schedule.
After Chen Ku decided to make up his mind, he watched the battle in the direction of Gongse with a hint of interest. However, he also saw his brother-in-law Li Yuancheng who was leading the charge in the direction of Gongse.
"Huh? Li Yuancheng, what's the matter with you? When something like this happens, you don't run away, but rush to get in? Are you crazy for trying to make a contribution?"
When he saw Li Yuancheng and several head catchers screaming and killing them, he couldn't help but frown slightly, but he quickly understood Li Yuancheng's thoughts.
Having a traitor is not a bad thing for my brother-in-law, but a good thing.
It means an opportunity to make achievements.
Chen Ku, who originally only wanted to kill the two people from the Ancient Elephant Sect and run away completely after clearing his suspicions, at this time, he couldn't help but pay attention to Li Yuancheng.
Others can ignore it.
But after all, it was a battle involving more than a thousand people. The government and even the city guards had moved out. I could tell with my ankles that those Ping'an Tao demons who dared to attack the Sheyu Town Gongsha must not have been sent with nothing but wine bags and rice bags. It's a strong team.
This kind of fighting on the battlefield.
It is too normal and too easy to die. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still vulnerable to hidden arrows and sieges.
Chen Ku felt that no matter what he saw, he couldn't sit idly by and watch, at least he couldn't watch what happened to Li Yuancheng, because then his sister would be a widow.
So, it moved its four little paws, moving like the wind, and after a while, it was close to Gong's side.
But see,
At this time, the public house had been blown into a large area. Although there were many corpses of public officials, the city guards did not seem to have suffered serious losses.
The reason is simple.
As the 'army' affiliated to Baojiao County, the City Guards are not only equipped with standard horizontal knives and divine crossbows, but also everyone wears armor.
After those explosive talisman papers were thrown into the public house, they did cause some casualties among the public house personnel, but in the face of the armored city guards, the damage was limited.
I saw,
After the heavy rain of those batches of talismans, the city guards immediately lined up in an orderly manner and appeared outside the public house.
Among them, the equipment in the hands of ten city guards was very conspicuous.
That is the divine crossbow.
Each divine crossbow shines with a cold light like fine steel. It is three feet three in length and has a string length of two feet and five. It looks similar to a bow and arrow, but under the action of its ingenious mechanisms and parts, it is accompanied by "crunching" sounds. ", the ten city guards officers and soldiers turned the wheel, pulled the bow string to the full moon, vibrated the air, and released a shower of arrows!
Chi! Chi!
Suddenly, in the long sky outside the public house, the air was torn apart like cloth by arrows with terrible strength, and air currents were pierced, heading towards the large area of Ping'an Dao demons who were killing here.
Woohoo!
As the divine crossbow continues to be pulled, in one breath, almost a dozen arrows can be shot horizontally, causing the air to whimper like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and a continuous thunderstorm to explode like a thunderstorm!
"Hiss! This is the divine crossbow!!"
Just above the city guards, Chen Ku turned into a fox and marten, hiding under the eaves, feeling the power and speed of the divine crossbow:
"What kind of terrifying weapon is this? Each of these ten city guards has the power of a thousand kilograms. With this divine power crossbow, they can actually shoot arrows with a speed and power comparable to that of two to thirty thousand kilograms of power, directly knocking out every city guard. The lethality of the army has increased by more than ten times!”
Chen Ku could sense the terrifying power of those arrows just from the moment the city guard fired the divine crossbow.
It seems that each divine crossbow has a bow power equivalent to "ten thousand catties".
What is this concept?
A person only has the strength of a thousand kilograms, but he can draw a big bow of ten thousand kilograms. This is not because there are many people, but because of the specialness of the divine power crossbow. It seems that it can save ten times the effort and exert ten times the strength far beyond one's own. .
Just imagine, more than a hundred city guards pulling a divine crossbow is equivalent to more than a hundred archers with the power of an elephant pulling their bows and releasing arrows at the same time.
puff! puff! puff! puff! puff! puff! !
I saw that these ten divine crossbowmen pulled the tongue of the crossbow machine while taking a breath, and shot out a large number of arrows horizontally, like piercing a candied haws, and penetrated a large area of Pingan Road over a distance of more than 300 feet. magician!
Bang! Bang! Bang! …
Those monsters who were hit by crossbow arrows were knocked backwards by the terrible impact of the crossbow arrows at the moment they were hit.
That's right, he was knocked out!
In the blink of an eye, those demons of Ping'an Dao who rushed towards the public house were hit by a wave of crossbow arrows, hundreds of arrows in a row, and half of them were killed!
Divine crossbow!
It's like a magic weapon born to harvest lives on the battlefield!
Chen Ku was also stunned by this scene, especially the power of the divine crossbow:
"How on earth was this divine crossbow created?"
It was hard for him to imagine what kind of material this divine crossbow was made of, which could allow a person with a thousand kilograms of force to draw a bow with a force of ten thousand kilograms.
This moment.
He finally understood why the Daji Dynasty exerted such terrible suppression on the martial arts world.
Not to mention that Chen Ku now has the strength of the three realms, that is, the fourth realm. He was caught off guard by such a wave of crossbows firing in the dark at the same time. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of crossbows that could penetrate iron and stone were covered... It’s impossible to stop it!
"I don't know how many divine crossbows there are in the Baojiao County Yamen. Currently, I see only ten, and there are 150 city guards. It seems that not everyone can equip them, which means that building this The conditions for the divine crossbow are probably very harsh..."
Just when Chen Ku made a horrifying comment on the magical crossbow of the Daji Dynasty.
But see,
In the distance, hundreds of Ping An Dao demons were shot through by a large piece of divine crossbow. After each one fell to the ground, although the arrows were hit by a large hole in the mouth of the bowl, it was actually extremely weird...
Everyone got up from the ground!
"What the hell is that?"
Chen Kucai felt that even if he had reached the fourth realm, he would not be able to survive in the face of these ten divine crossbows firing hundreds of arrows that penetrated iron and stone.
As a result, those who were hit by arrows on Ping'an Road were simply unbelievable to him.
However, under the gaze of Chen Ku's golden eyes, he quickly saw the crux of the problem. Although the demons who were pierced by the divine crossbow arrows could still get up, they were all covered with blood. The talismans glowed, seeming to force them to stay alive.
This scene couldn't help but surprise Chen Ku.
The expressions of the one hundred and fifty city guards who were responsible for leading the team changed greatly.
But soon, a loud shout came from their leader, Chengmen School Captain Ouyang Lie:
"Although demons and evil magic can prolong life, it is difficult to avoid death. This school has never heard of anyone who is truly immortal. They just use evil magic to stay alive. Keep firing arrows, killing as many as you can. Wait until they get close, and then Attack with sword formation!"
It was just as the city gate captain expected.
I saw some demons whose bodies were penetrated, and even their intestines were exposed. After rushing forward for hundreds of feet without any reaction, suddenly, several of them... fell to the ground hard, losing their minds. All vitality has been lost and I can’t sleep!
When the ten divine crossbowmen saw this, they no longer had any doubts and continued to load the crossbows!
In this way, he shot two or three waves at the five or six hundred demons who rushed towards him, causing two-thirds of them to be arrow-shooters. Then he saw that those people had already rushed within ten feet.
"Get ready to meet the enemy!!"
Under Ouyang Lie's shout, the first one swung his sword and charged towards the army of monsters that was rushing towards them.
For a moment.
More than one hundred city guards in the government office, as well as more than one hundred yamen runners who came with the army, all rushed forward with swords.
Chen Ku watched the two groups of people about to engage in a melee decisive battle.
But strangely, he smelled a sense of crisis.
This sense of crisis actually came mainly from Chen Ku's understanding of the demons of Ping An Dao:
"What's going on? This Sheyu Town is the incense altar of Yao Wensu. How come more than a hundred demons of Ping An Dao came out to attack the government office, but there is no sight of Yao Wensu and other incense masters and leaders of Ping An Dao."
Chen Ku felt strange.
Subconsciously, he started the "hundred-mile tracking technique" to find the scent of Yao Wensu and the Ping An Dao masters in the incense altar in the yard that he had tracked last time.
Instantly,
The smell reappeared in his mind, and he captured the movements of a hundred miles around. However, he didn't need a hundred miles at all. Chen Ku smelled Yao Wensu and other high-ranking officials of the Ping An Dao in Sheyu Town on a hill four or five miles away from here.
Immediately.
He stared over with his golden eyes for a hundred miles.
Shockingly saw.
On the hilltop, looking down, there were six people standing in total. The leader was Yao Wensu, the incense master of the Ping An Dao who had offered a reward to him in the Gray Clothes Building that day, and the object of his frame-up.
From Chen Ku's golden eyes, he could clearly see that Yao Wensu was standing there at this time, looking at this place...
Especially at the moment when the city guards were about to come into contact with the five or six hundred monsters.
Chen Ku saw Yao Wensu on the hilltop with a slight curl of his mouth.
"This smile... is it... not good!"
Chen Ku subconsciously felt a chill on his back, and almost instinctively, he jumped off the eaves without hesitation!
But just when Chen Ku flew up and left the vicinity in two or three breaths.
When all the city guards and monsters were entangled together.
Hundreds of slogans were chanted in unison and in an extremely neat manner from the mouths of the Ping An Dao monsters who had been pierced by the divine crossbows:
"The Yellow Heaven nourishes the fertile earth, the wise teacher descends to the heaven and earth, blesses all the people in the world, and protects the hometown safely..."
Suddenly, the five or six hundred Ping An Dao monsters, whether they were injured by arrows or not, all glowed in an instant with the talisman paper on their bodies!
Boom boom boom! !
The huge flames and explosions instantly submerged the many city guards and yamen runners.
"Fuck! Fuck!"
Even though Chen Ku flew out in advance and avoided this range, he was still horrified when he looked back at this scene:
"Monsters! It's really a group of monsters!"
At this moment, how could he not understand that this was not the Ping An Dao attacking Sheyu Town, but a group of Ping An Dao warriors who were trained to fight with the imperial city guards without fear of death!
