"Zhou Chuan, has anyone ever told you that you are too much of a gentleman when fighting?" Chen Chong picked up the black sword and weighed it in his hand.
Zhou Chuan didn't understand why Chen Chong asked this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Yang Taozhi had indeed said this to him.
Back in Lingshan, Yang Taozhi said to Zhou Chuan that your sword lacked the killing spirit and was too gentlemanly.
Zhou Chuandao: "Someone said that."
"That's right." Chen Chong smiled, as if he was happy that he had guessed correctly, and said: "Our situation now is different from that at the state banquet. At that time, it was just about winning or losing, but now it is about life and death. You don't have to
You have to wait until I take out the sword. I know your sword is very fast, and you can actually take action against me when I unveil the cloth. Unfortunately, you missed a good opportunity to kill me."
"Even if you can't kill me, you can still seize the opportunity and buy more time for yourself and your sister."
Zhou Chuan thought for a while and said, "It seems a bit of a pity."
"It's a pity that I won't give you another chance."
"No need. Even if it happens again, I will still wait for you."
"Why?"
"Because I don't need to take advantage of you!"
Chen Chong was stunned, then smiled and tightened his grip on the sword.
Since you are so confident...if you don't strike first, then I will strike first!
Hunyuan Sword!
Just like at the state banquet, Chen Chong stabbed with his sword and rushed straight towards Zhou Chuan. The sword and the air stirred up the sword energy visible to the naked eye.
Like a tornado, like a strong wind, the space between the two people became chaotic.
This is the power of Hunyuan Sword!
Zhou Chuan's long shawl hair flowed back, his eyes lit up, and he was not afraid of the storm sword energy that was getting closer and closer to him. He still raised his hand unhurriedly and held the long sword vertically in front of his chest.
Then, he sent out a sword.
It's not a prick, it's a send-off.
His movements were gentle, but his eyes were firm.
It was obviously a fight, but he fought politely.
"A gentleman has no power!"
The two sword tips touched each other, and the Hunyuan Sword's sword energy became even more violent. However, it could not continue to spread towards Zhou Chuan, but spread out in all directions.
Things were calm on Zhou Chuan's side. After he sent out his sword, it seemed that no matter how violent the force was, it had calmed down.
Chen Chong smiled and said: "I couldn't tell it when I competed with you at the state banquet. Now I know it. It turns out that your apprentice is the Jinghai sword master, and you learn the Jinghai Junzi Sword!"
"That's right, I am Junzi Sword, and I learned from Master Jinghai."
Zhou Chuandao: "Since it is a gentleman's sword, there is no need to take advantage of you."
"Pedantic!" Chen Chong sneered and stabbed Zhou Chuan with his second sword.
"A gentleman should not be confused!" In this situation, Zhou Chuan's sword strikes were stronger than the last, and he started fighting with Chen Chong.
However, Zhou Chuan was restrained, and Zhou Nuo had to rely on herself. The five assassins who penetrated the rapeseed field were very fast. After Zhou Nuo shot two more arrows, they came to her position.
Zhou Nuo retracted his bow in time and changed his position.
"Don't chase from one direction, disperse!" The assassin adjusted in time, giving Zhou Nuo a headache.
It's not that she doesn't have the ability to fight in close quarters. It's okay to deal with one or two second-rate masters, but it's a bit difficult to deal with five people at once.
But the most critical reason is that as Zhou Nuo is a marksman, fighting the enemy in close combat is meaningless and a waste of time. Only archery can exert her greatest effect.
Getting rid of these pursuers is the key!
Zhou Nuo's strategy was right, but she underestimated the level of these assassins.
These people were spies of the Southern Zhou Dynasty who had been lurking in Changsui for many years. They were able to lurk in Changsui not only because of their good combat effectiveness, but also because of their intelligence and professional abilities.
Pursuit is their strength.
For an excellent archer, throwing away people is a compulsory skill, but Zhou Nuo still found it difficult even with all his strength.
These five people are so difficult to deal with!
Zhou Nuo focused on the Southern Zhou spy closest to him, listened to his footsteps, strung his bow while running, suddenly rolled to the side, and shot an arrow into the rapeseed flowers behind him.
"ah!!"
There was a scream from behind, and Zhou Nuo got up and ran, but he obviously heard the sound of four other footsteps getting closer.
She calculated how close she would be chased by the others after killing one person, and found that she could only kill one more person in this way, and by then the three surviving people would be able to surround her.
These spies were so smart that they were all separated by a certain distance. Otherwise, Zhou Nuo would have been sure to shoot two arrows and kill them both at the same time.
Zhou Nuo was not in a hurry to fire another arrow, but still tried his best to get rid of them, trying to gain some distance from them.
Even if she only took a few steps away, it would be enough for her to kill one more person.
The interception and killing of Zhao Cheng has been divided into four battlefields, Zhao Wu and Yu Beipiao, Zhou Chuan and Chen Chong, Zhou Nuo and his pursuers, government soldiers and spies.
But no one seemed to notice that there was another person lurking in the rapeseed field.
This man was dressed as a scholar, with his sword behind his back and only a folding fan in his hand. He was in a good position where he could observe the four separate battlefields.
It was Xu Qingshan.
It's just that he is alone, Liu Ling is not with him.
He was also surprised by the change in this mission. Originally, he wanted to kill Chen Chong first and then find a chance to kill Zhao Cheng, so he had to lure Chen Chong away from Zhou Jinghuan first. However, he did not expect that Chen Chong actually left Zhou Jinghuan on his own initiative and ran to
Come here to kill Zhao Cheng...
Xu Qingshan handled things calmly and calmly, and was not in a hurry to take action.
Killing Chen Chong now will break the balance of strength between Zhao Cheng and Nan Zhou, and it will be difficult to kill Zhao Cheng again.
At this time, the commotion of the fighting was too loud, and farmers were gathering around the crop fields to watch from a distance. If they killed Zhao Cheng openly, it would cause too much trouble later, and it was not a wise decision.
The strategy Xu Qingshan came up with was Gou.
His prediction of the situation was that the Southern Zhou Dynasty had the upper hand. If the situation continued like this, the soldiers would be unable to hold on, and Zhao Cheng would also die by then.
Borrowing Nan Zhou's sword to kill Zhao Cheng and then Chen Chong is the best arrangement.
So Xu Qingshan held his breath and became a silent bystander.
On the other side, Zhou Nuo couldn't keep the distance between him and his pursuers. He looked up and saw the top of the carriage. He was heartbroken and shouted: "Zhao Cheng, help me!!"
After saying that, Zhou Nuo jumped onto the roof of the carriage. When her foot touched the roof, she immediately turned around and shot out an arrow!
"Ah!!" One of the pursuers was shot by a sharp arrow before he could even jump up from the rape field.
But then, the remaining three pursuers jumped up from the rapeseed field and were within close range of Zhou Nuo.
Snapped!
The window suddenly opened, and a sword stretched out from the carriage and stabbed into the chest of a spy who was about to jump on the roof of the carriage.
The spy looked stunned and quickly grabbed the sword blade with his hand.
"It's stuck in the bone, it's not inserted in!!" Zhao Cheng looked at Xia Qiqiu Shu and shouted: "You two, help me, pull him over!!"
Xia Qi and Qiu Shu quickly stretched out their hands, one grabbed the spy's arm, the other grabbed the clothes on the spy's chest, and pulled hard into the carriage, pulling the spy's body tightly against the carriage.
Zhao Cheng fiercely thrust the sword into the spy's body. If it couldn't be inserted, he slapped the hilt of the sword hard with his palm and drove the sword into the spy's body like a hammer hammer.
The three of them were in such a hurry that it was as chaotic as possible.
The unlucky spy foamed at the mouth and was tortured to death by Zhao Cheng's master and servant.
There were only two pursuers left, so the threat to Zhou Nuo was not great. Zhou Nuo took out his dagger and only fought with them for three rounds before wiping their necks and kicking him off the carriage.
Snapped!
Fearing that Zhou Nuo would be targeted by spies again, Zhao Cheng quickly opened the car door and shouted: "Zhou Nuo, come in first!"
Zhou Nuo climbed down from the roof of the car and slipped into the car, closing the doors and windows.
"Huh...huh..."
It wasn't Zhou Nuo who was panting, but Zhao Cheng and Xia Qi Qiu Shu who were gasping for air.
Zhou Nuo rolled his eyes at Zhao Cheng and said, "It's useless."
"We saved you just now, okay?!" Zhao Cheng argued.
"You just have a good brain and think of a solution quickly." Zhou Nuo frowned and said, "I felt it when I was being chased. There were masters lurking in the rape field."
"Are there any masters?"
Zhao Cheng was not panicked at all, nor did he frown like Zhou Nuo. He even looked happy!
