C105 evenly matched
Indeed, the extremely precise arrow that was released was shot by the man named Qu Lu.
Although Qu Lu did not talk much in normal times, his abilities and archery skills were still rather amazing. One of them was to train a falcon, the falcon 'Fast Cool' that he had tamed was an essential part of it. The most important part was that the falcon had the ability to fly high in the sky and the eagle eye could accurately catch its target, so relying on these two points of flying in the air, it was possible for the falcon to detect the presence of the falcon on the ground. Of course, it was very difficult for people with high cultivation to do so, because no matter if the opponent was a warrior or a illusionist, they all had their own ways of discovering its existence.
The other was his archery skill. It could be described with the word 'fast, accurate, and ruthless'. For example, the arrow that was shot at the flirtatious guy just now. If he hadn't dodged quickly enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to survive.
The first arrow was a killing move, and at the same time, it was also a challenge, for those who could not dodge it were not worthy of Qu Lu attacking again, and for those who could avoid it, it was also considered as having received his challenge, which was considered a one on one battle, where the difference in strength was naturally decided by the survivors.
The alluring hidden weapon guy was clearly aware that this person was not ordinary. Just based on the fact that he used all his strength to dodge that arrow just now, it was clear that the other party was very strong.
Those who used concealed weapons usually excelled in long-range attacks. In order to put distance between them and those who excelled in close combat, they would usually train especially in agility. In terms of agility, even ordinary assassins would find it difficult to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. However, even though the coquettish man had used all his strength to dodge, he was still barely able to dodge the arrow and almost disfigured his face.
"You are?" The flirtatious guy didn't go up to greet him. Instead, he stood still and stared at his opponent. However, his hands were ready to throw the concealed weapon in his sleeve at any time.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know!" Qu Lu replied coldly. As someone who had walked out of the nine core branches of Imperial Overwatch Council, he had nothing better to say than this mouth, each of them was more strict than the last. Forget about names, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party could immediately see through their gender, she probably wouldn't even have mentioned their gender.
"Humph, then I'll see how it goes!" With that, all that was left of the flirtatious man was a robe, but he had disappeared. No, he did not disappear, but had quickly moved to the left side of Qu Lu, and with a swing of his hand, a dozen steel nails appeared.
Everyone who had played with the bow and arrow knew that the standard shooting posture was the left foot pointing forward, the body side erect, the waist strength and elbow strength completely, the breathing steady and natural, of course it was the same shooting posture, the body posture changed in time, but the method of exertion was the same.
However, there was another thing worth noting. If the archer held the bow in his left hand while he drew the bow with his right hand, his left side would become his blind spot. At that time, regardless of his personal angle of vision or the direction of his bow and arrow, both of them would have a great influence on the archer.
The coquettish man had noticed the archer's weakness and suddenly attacked him, hoping that the first round of attacks would be enough to take him down.
But to Qu Lu, who had been immersed in shooting arrows for years, this kind of assassination was just a joke. He had been playing with bows and arrows for many years now, and he could clearly tell how weak and how advantageous it was to be an archer. Since the archer could make such an obvious loophole in his archery, could he just let it go and have no way of dealing with it?
Just as quickly as that. Qu Lu released the bow with his left hand, and used his left hand to form a defensive posture. His right hand still held the bow and arrow, and with a flip of his wrist, he turned the bow and arrow to his back.
Just at this time, the concealed weapon had already reached him, Qu Lu quickly used his left arm to protect his vital parts, and at the same time used his left arm to sweep away the steel nails that were about to attack his body.
The coquettish man was dumbfounded. Could it be that his opponent was still invulnerable to swords and spears? However, when he looked carefully, he noticed that there was something strange about his opponent's left arm.
The entire left arm seemed to be wearing a big and long glove, it was very clear and flexible with five fingers. The left arm seemed to be wearing a big and long glove, which was very convenient and flexible with five fingers.
It had to be known that Qu Lu was not only an Archer, but also a Falcon Trainer. That glove was his specialty, on one hand, it could allow the tamed falcon to have a place to stay, on the other hand, the glove was special. Not to mention a few small steel nails, even the military crossbow could not penetrate it, which also solved the blind spot on the left side of the archer's bow. As a result, there were many uses for a single glove.
After understanding the situation, the coquettish man could not help but curse silently. However, he had never thought that he would be so despicable as to provoke others to use a knife on him. However, he did not have the time to continue cursing because the other side's counterattack was fast enough to catch him by surprise.
The body of the bow that was turned around was once again held in Qu Lu's left hand, while the right hand drew the bow and arrow, but the difference was, this time, it was placed on the back of the bow, so the difficulty of the bow was obviously much higher.
Although Qu Lu's drawing of the bow was awkward, it still did not reduce the strength and accuracy of the bow and arrow. The arrow that was shot out was still aimed at the flirtatious man. Moreover, it was still as fast as before.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A blood-curdling scream rang out, the coquettish man's face contorted in pain as he used one hand to cover his right shoulder. However, he was still unable to stop the blood from gushing out.
The first of the five to be injured. His miserable shriek immediately attracted the attention of the other four. They all knew that although the charming man with the concealed weapon would usually look like a concubine, with the expression of someone who needed a beating, his god-like hidden weapon skills still left them in awe. At least, they weren't certain when dealing with him.
But now, in a one on one fight, he had been the first to die. This meant that his attack power was much higher.
"As expected, the people from Imperial Overwatch Council are not given to us for nothing!" The lady had been paying close attention to the two parties fighting, but her heart couldn't help but tremble. Against these leaders, they were all very strong and weren't given to them for nothing.
Not only was that person playing with bows and arrows extraordinary, even the leader of the Surveillance Council was extraordinary. That soft sword caused his movements to be abnormally agile and unpredictable. In terms of sword techniques alone, it would be hard for anyone present to match up to it.
If the man with the dagger hadn't been cursed at in advance with the addition of his agility, coupled with the fact that he was an assassin, he probably wouldn't have been able to maintain his agility and agility. Even so, his clothes were still ripped.
As the situation continued, the flexible sword in Zhao Chao's hands trembled slightly, but the tip of the sword began to shake erratically, causing the dagger man who wanted to circle around Zhao Chao to attack from the side. He had no choice but to give up his plan, trying his best to block the sword with both of his hands.
But how could 'retreat as he pleases' be such a good thing? The Zhao Chao seemed to have already known of the other party's intentions, as he stomped his foot on the ground and rushed forward, his overbearing aura following the continuous swing of the sword tip, and only thrusted towards the Dagger Man's retreating body.
Right at that moment, the coquettish man was shot by an arrow. He let out a miserable scream that distracted the dagger man's attention. The next thing that happened was the birth of a second injured person.
Seeing that he was no match, the daggers man raised his left arm to block with the tactic of 'throwing the car to save the marshal'. The dagger man's left arm was lacerated by the flexible sword and continued to bleed profusely, while the dagger in his hand could no longer be held and fell to the ground.
Taking this opportunity, the dagger man did not continue fighting and decisively chose to retreat, escaping from the attack range of Zhao Chao's flexible sword. With a few steps, the figure returned to the woman's side.
"This sir, his methods are really good!" "It seems like even the imperial court's beagles are not necessarily trash!" The battle once again entered a stalemate, and the woman took the opportunity to speak first.
Was this a break? Then the first half could be considered as a draw. At least it could be considered a draw. Although Zhao Chao thought about it, he did not reply. Instead, he changed his mind and thought about something else.
What is it? Of course, it was the matter of the 'pigeons'. They watched from afar as the pigeons landed in the backyard, and not too long after Zhao Chao brought people to the backyard, the people in the courtyard had already fallen into the hands of these five, and a large portion of them had already been cruelly killed. This point could be judged by the blood stains on the ground that had yet to dry up.
So where did the Pigeon go? From the analysis, there were only two possibilities. One was that the pigeon had escaped, which was obviously impossible. After all, the falcon in the sky had yet to leave and was constantly monitoring the yard's movements. The second reason was that the pigeon was with these five people, or at least the intelligence report was with one of them, and the most likely person was that woman.
What did this mean? This was a clear indication that the other party was the target of his search. At the very least, he would be a direct subordinate of the target. If he could capture the other party, it would be a great achievement. As for the following interrogation, it was the responsibility of the seven divisions. He only needed to capture them.
Thinking about it, Zhao Chao's heart immediately lit up, the identities of the five people in front of him were obvious, he had to capture at least one of them.
"Are you preparing to surrender or are you waiting for me to arrest you?" It was obvious that he did not want to wait for the other party to make a choice, and the question that was thrown out was unacceptable to the other party.
"What big words you have there, with just you two? I think we're still far from it! " The woman retorted somewhat disdainfully.
"Won't you know once you try?" The Zhao Chao found it funny, after all, these five were just flesh and blood, they could endure the torture of his group, but could they endure the encirclement and annihilation of the tens of thousands of city guards? Even if he didn't kill them, he would make them die of exhaustion.
"How do you want to try it? I would like to experience it for myself!" An aged voice suddenly broke the standoff between the two.
Just as he finished speaking, an old man with an immortal demeanor appeared on the roof of the backyard of the Wang family. If he wasn't holding a walking stick with a skeleton inlaid in it, he would have looked like an immortal.
But before waiting for Zhao Chao to reply, the old man had already appeared in front of the woman in a flash again.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping the Surveillance Council from doing business?!" Zhao Chao knew that this old man was not easy to deal with, but he could die, and not lose face. After all, there were tens of thousands of soldiers gathering outside, who knows, maybe they could even be as fast as' Cao Cao '.
"Do you want to know who this old man is? You are not qualified! " The old man stroked his beard as he spoke proudly.
"Then don't blame this junior for bullying the elderly!" With that, the Zhao Chao stabbed the old man with his sword. He did not dare delay and used all his strength, the sword was imbued with his Qi and did not show any signs of weakness. It was not strong enough and looked extremely sharp.
"An insignificant skill!" Following that, the old man extended his staff forward, and an even more powerful Qi swept out from the skull in front of the cane, immediately shattering Zhao Chao's Sword Qi and knocking him away at the same time.
It was obvious that the old man didn't use his full strength. He was still looking at Zhao Chao, who was still flying backwards, with a calm and composed smile.
Zhao Chao flew out a few meters and then fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded! This old man was really inhumane!
