Chapter 23 Red rain pouring down

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Under attack from two directions, Wei Kui took the initiative to face the man with the spear and the horse without thinking. He repeated his old trick, holding the opponent's spear head with the ear of the halberd, and then raised his arm and twisted it - the cavalryman with the spear also relied on himself.

With his brute strength, he was at a stalemate with Wei Kui for a while.

"Drink!" Wei Kui's eyes widened, and his veins popped out. He used both arms to compete with the cavalry. The cavalry relied on their horse power to break away, but Wei Kui broke his spear.

Xiao Kelong had already bullied him, and Wei Kui had no skills and was determined to take Xiao Kelong's knife and then fight back. Unexpectedly, his body suddenly changed direction and flew out.

"That move again?" From the corner of his eye, Wei Kui saw Xiao Kelong's body turning in the air. He thought Xiao Kelong was going to use Xiao Xuan to attack again.

There was a soft "puff" sound in the air, and Xiao Kelong flew out and fell to the ground. There was a blood hole in his abdomen as thick as a finger and bleeding gurglingly.

"It's too late for you to go back and treat your injuries now. If you wait a little longer, you may die." Hong Yu poked his head out from behind He Nan and said to Xiao Kelong who was lying on the ground. "You and I have no grievances and I have no intention of killing.

you."

At this time, Wei Kui also captured the cavalryman who was fighting against him. He did not recognize this person, but he recognized the military emblem of the Sirius Army engraved on his chest armor. "Hey...look northwest, shoot the Sirius..."

Xiao Kelong got on the horse with a very complicated expression and prepared to leave - although he was ready to die, but now it seemed that even if he died ten times, he would not be enough to defeat Wei Wei, so he might as well go back to heal his injuries earlier. He

He nodded towards Hong Yu, and suddenly Wei Kui's shout came from behind: "The two swords can't show your talent... If you don't die on the road, go back and practice the two guns instead!"

Xiao Kelong was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Wei Kui's words were mocking him or had some ulterior motive. However, the pain in his abdominal wound was unbearable, so he probably couldn't wait long, so he crouched on his horse and followed the path back to the city.

"The troublemaker has left... Why don't you come out yet?" Xiao Kelong had already left the place, and Wei Kui suddenly said to himself.

More than 30 cavalrymen slowly walked out of the surrounding forest in a semi-encirclement manner, surrounding the three of them in the center. The middle-aged man at the head asked loudly: "Wei Kui... are you planning to capture them without mercy? Or are you going to capture them without mercy?"

A desperate fight?"

"Capture at your wits' end? A fight to the death? It's just you - are you worthy?" Wei Kui said arrogantly, he raised his halberd and pointed at the middle-aged man not far away, "Wang Qing, I didn't let you and your good-for-nothing

Brothers died together, and you actually came to see me?"

When Wang Qing heard Wei Kui mention the death of his younger brother, he suddenly felt angry: "You still dare to mention it? Wei Kui, as a centurion of the Sirius Army, you failed in the expedition and killed your superiors without permission and defected to the military camp, but you still dare to make such a noise here

?”

"The soldiers of the Tianlang Army listened to the order and formed a formation to charge. Those who take the heads of Wei defeated will be rewarded with gold and silver and be made captains!" Wang Qing raised his left hand and waved it high, and unsheathed his sword with his right hand. More than thirty cavalrymen of the Tianlang Army

Immediately the horses were mobilized, and the formation formed like a sharp arrow, rushing towards Wei.

"You two aren't leaving yet?" Wei Kui glanced sideways at the two people around him, "They are here for me and have nothing to do with you. It's still too late to leave now."

"Hey..." He Nan sighed with emotion, "Isn't there an old saying in our Sheng Kingdom, which is that everyone who comes comes comes..."

"Now that I've come, let's make peace with it. It doesn't hurt to accompany you for a while."

"With your small body, they can tear you to pieces in an instant if they rush over... The girl's method just now seems to be someone who can use hidden weapons. If you really want to help me, just retreat to the dense forest behind you.

Just provide support from a distance." Wei Kui whispered, "If you stay with me, I won't have time to take care of you."

He Nan heard what Wei Kui said and knew that Wei Kui knew what he was thinking. He immediately urged his horse to turn around and dive into the woods behind the three of them as if to escape. Hongyu was on the other side ready to attack, ready to support Wei Kui at any time.

Collapse.

Wei Kui was naturally at a disadvantage when fighting on foot versus on horseback, not to mention that the opponent was also a good player in the Sirius Army. Although he spoke arrogantly, he was still very energetic in his heart.

The Sirius Army has the strongest and most cutting-edge cavalry force in the Sheng Kingdom, the "Wansouying". The Wansouying is a special cavalry unit established to engage in guerrilla warfare with the nomadic Haogao people in the northwest of the Shengguo.

The knights selected all the strong and good horses that were abundant in the western regions of the prosperous country. They selected warriors who were skilled in bow and horse. They were equipped with spears, daggers, light armor, bows and arrows. Once upon a time, Wei Kui was also a member of Wansu's camp, and he was the best among them.

Outstanding.

What he is facing now are his former comrades-in-arms, and perhaps some of them once served under him.

Wei Kui suddenly shook his head, as if to clear his mind. "Come on!" He roared with his eyes about to burst, and a powerful fighting spirit evaporated from his body.

The cavalryman who was charging at the front also roared to embolden himself, but before he could raise his gun to fight, he felt his chest stagnated, as if something was flying towards him to block him. Wei Kui took this opportunity to poke out a

The halberd lifted him off the horse, but did not hurt his life. When the cavalry fell from the horse, he immediately realized something and loudly reminded his comrades: "The two who just entered the forest did not escape. They seem to be

What kind of hidden weapons are there, everyone should be careful!"

Upon hearing this, the Sirius Army cavalry also cheered up and were ready to be on guard against "hidden weapons" at any time. However, they did not know that the "hidden weapons" used by Hong Yu were not physical objects such as flying knives, but were activated by true energy.

Although they are a little far away from Hongyu and equipped with armor, it is difficult for Hongyu to cause substantial damage to them at this distance, but it is still very powerful if it hits key parts such as the face, hands, etc.

What's more, if the zhenqi hits the part protected by the armor, it will also block their movements, creating a lot of opportunities for Wei Kui.

"I was hit with a hidden weapon!"

"This hidden weapon is invisible!"

"what to do?"

The cavalrymen only felt that countless hidden weapons were flying towards them, but there was nothing they could do about it - they could feel the hidden weapons hitting their bodies, but there was nothing they could do about these invisible hidden weapons.

Just when the Sirius army was panicking, Wei was defeated - he actually charged straight in with his double halberds waving as wide as the sun; when the cavalry did not encircle and attack him, he actually rushed into the gun battle himself

In the array.

"Tsk, this Wei Kui..." Hong Yu said with some displeasure. She could have used her true energy to shoot at the Heavenly Wolf Army more accurately, but once Wei Kui went in to disrupt the formation, she had to deliberately avoid him to prevent it.

accidental injury.

Wei Kui rushed into the formation, and the Tianlang army was almost overwhelmed by Hong Yu's "rain of bullets" and Wei Kui's brazen attack. Wang Qing was facing Wei Kui's attack at this time. His martial arts was not bad and he could withstand a good attack.

After a while, it is not possible to fight and retreat in the face of Wei's defeat. A powerful wave must be carried out to boost our own morale and demoralize the enemy.

Under the protection of several cavalrymen in the center of the battle circle, Wang Qing attacked Wei Kui. He raised his sword high and prepared to chop it down. Unexpectedly, something in the air almost punched his palm through. The sword in his hand

also fell down.

"Who?" Wang Qing looked around angrily, but only saw a fleeting figure in red clothes in the jungle.

He gritted his teeth and made an angry sound in his throat. He retreated to the outside of the battle circle and made a few gestures for the time being. All the cavalry of the Sirius Army immediately spread out to form a large circle, and defeated Wei in the center.

.

"Why don't you fight again?" Wei Kui shouted sharply. He knocked nearly ten cavalry off their horses one after another. He also suffered several stab wounds from spears. However, he was full of fighting spirit at this time and was not careful about the wounds on his body.

Don't really care.

Wang Qing clapped his hands and said with a ferocious smile: "Wei Kui, no wonder the army says you are a brainless bastard... Take a look at what is on the ground?"

Wei Kui was shocked when he heard this, and immediately lowered his head to look at his feet. There were many ropes made of iron wires mixed with twine lying on the ground, and there were tiny iron thorns exposed in the gaps in the ropes. Wei Kui was not interested in this thing.

The child is very familiar with it. This thing is called a "dragon-capturing rope". It is specially made for warriors who can capture one to ten on the battlefield and no one dares to get close. Previously, in the melee, some soldiers carrying the dragon-capturing rope took advantage of it.

Unexpectedly, he dropped several dragon-capturing ropes on the ground. As long as the soldiers holding both ends of the ropes pulled at this time, the dragon-capturing ropes could climb up and wrap around Wei Kui's limbs and torso, and the dragon-capturing ropes above

The tiny iron thorns can prevent the target who is using web-weaving tactics from breaking away - as long as they are entangled in the dragon catching rope, the iron thorns will pierce into the flesh. The more they move, the larger the area cut by the iron thorns will be, and the injured will be smaller.

Sooner, the Sirius army also named this capture method "net tactic".

Wei Kui sneered and said: "This thing was originally used by the Sirius Army to fight the enemy. I didn't expect that it would be used by one of my own people today."

Wang Qing also imitated Wei Kui's look and sneered: "Then you should feel honored to be the first Sirius soldier to be used to capture the dragon... Oh no, you are a traitor to the Sirius army."

After saying that, he clapped his hands again. "Bind the lock - capture the dragon!"

The soldiers holding both ends of the dragon-capturing ropes immediately urged their horses to spin like a revolving lantern. They saw the dragon-capturing ropes on the ground being pulled into the air by them, and wrapped around Wei Kui's body like pythons coming out of their holes and water-breaking dragons.

Limbs and trunk.

"Close the net—the gun cage!"

The purpose of closing the net is to tighten the dragon-catching ropes, and the last dragon-catching ropes are intertwined like a large net to prevent the enemy from moving; while the gun cage is for other soldiers who cooperate with it to enter through the gaps in the rope net and use

Countless spears held the enemy in the center, causing the target to lose the last chance to escape. Wang Qing was so eager to kill Wei Kui that he naturally couldn't just ask for someone to subdue him. He wished that Wei Kui would be used as a target by everyone to pierce, smash, and kill him.

Of course, Wei Kui knew that once the dragon-capturing rope was completed and the net was closed, the gods would not be able to escape, so he endured the severe pain of the iron thorns piercing his flesh and waved his halberds, using the halberd blades to cut off the dragon-capturing rope. These two halberds were unparalleled magic weapons.

, extremely sharp, and the dragon-capturing ropes scratched by the halberd's edge fell down like centipedes cut into two pieces.

Although Wei Kui escaped temporarily with this move, the dragon-capturing rope also caused a lot of damage to him. At this time, his chest, back, arms and legs were all in rags and tatters.

The skin was even more bloody and miserable.

Seeing that the gun cage was surrounding him, Wei Kui simply tore his shirt to pieces, revealing a body of majestic muscles to increase his power. Wei Kui's naked upper body was very hideous and terrifying, with countless new wounds and old scars showing.

There are stab-like ones, and long strip-like ones, and the most frightening thing is the thick, long and terrifying scar on his chest that is as winding and rugged as a dragon crouching across half of his body.

Seeing Wei Kui's appearance like this, some of the soldiers of the Tianlang Army felt a little unbearable - Wei Kui was also a well-known warrior in their Tianlang Army. How could they not know how many times Wei Kui had sacrificed his life?

Coming in and out of thousands of people? All the injuries on Wei Kui's body were suffered by the Sirius Army, but at this moment, the Sirius Army actually wanted to point their swords at this former hero. It was very sad. Some people even thought chillingly that they might also do the same.

Will there ever be such a day?

Seeing that everyone was hesitant in their actions, Wang Qing said anxiously and angrily: "Go forward and kill him! I told you that those who get Wei Kui's head will be rewarded and appointed officers, and I will reward you additionally!"

Wei Kui sneered disdainfully. Of course he knew what Wang Qing was thinking, "Come! Come! I want to see who has the ability to take my head!" The roar was like thunder, and Wei Kui actually took the initiative to attack the cavalry team again.

Launched a charge!

As the cavalry tightened their encirclement, an imperceptible smile flashed across Wang Qing's face.

Of course he ordered the cavalry to lay out the dragon ropes to capture Wei Kui, but the purpose of spreading the encirclement and opening the formation was not that simple - if it was just to tie up Wei Kui, then of course the battle circle should be as small as possible to be more effective.

Wei was quickly defeated and killed, and the purpose of spreading the battle circle was to block the sight of the people in the forest.

Before Wang Qing led the Sirius cavalry into the open space in the dense forest, he asked a few sergeants to dismount and ambush in order to launch a cold arrow attack. However, there were also two people on the other side secretly responding to Wei's defeat from a distance, so those few armed with crossbows

The sergeant was not in a hurry to be exposed. He just lurked in the grass and waited for the opportunity. The woman in red used a hidden weapon and almost penetrated her palm - this made Wang Qing angry. In Wang Qing's eyes, Wei Kui's death was already a certainty.

, but if Wei Kui dies first, he is afraid that his other two accomplices will take advantage of the chaos and escape without knowing where to go, so he must find the sneak attacker hiding in the forest and kill them first, then spread out the encirclement and almost block the entire dense forest.

Behind the soldiers and horses, the ambush soldiers took this opportunity to secretly search for the location of the two men. At this time, the ambush soldiers had sent out a signal of readiness, so he narrowed the encirclement to give the ambush soldiers a larger field of vision and space to attack.

Shoot the opponent.

Wang Qing stood outside the circle and raised his hand to wave - this was the signal to order the arrow to be released.

Suddenly, several feather arrows shot out of the air from one place in the forest and went straight to another bush.

"Be careful!" He Nan is a thief. He just took advantage of the chaos and took away the broad-bladed knife that Xiao Kelong dropped at the edge of the forest for self-defense. He looked around for fear that the other party would set up some other ambush, so he

He kept the knife in his hand. When the arrows were fired at the two of them, he was the first to react and pulled Hongyu behind him to protect her, but he stepped forward to meet her.

He Nan wanted to use the broad-bladed knife in his hand to block, but he had no martial arts training. He was just trying his luck with the knife. Three or four arrows were shot on the tree trunks beside them, but he actually still

When the blind cat saw the dead mouse, he knocked an arrow away with his knife.

But there was another arrow, and he had no chance to block it.

The arrow pierced through the forest leaves, carrying the strong wind, and ran straight towards He Nan. He fell backward immediately after being hit by the arrow. Severe pain spread throughout his body, and he suddenly became unresponsive.

.

"He Nan!" Hong Yu saw He Nan suddenly crooked and fell to the ground. He quickly checked his injuries and found that the arrow had penetrated into He Nan's left chest. Hong Yu immediately panicked and stretched out his arms tremblingly.

He stretched out a hand to feel He Nan's breathing.

"He Nan, He Nan, He Nan... don't scare me..." He Nan - is he dead? After Hongyu was stunned for a few seconds, he burst into tears.

She has a cold personality, doesn't have many friends, and spends most of her time alone. There are quite a few men who want to make friends with her, but she knows in her heart that these men are all here for her beauty.

Although He Nan often looked at her with lustful eyes on purpose and took advantage of her verbally, which made her sometimes feel embarrassed, but she knew that He Nan had never acted beyond the distance.

Along the way, she was originally the one who accepted the order to protect He Nan, but He Nan always took good care of her.

Over the past few days, her impression of He Nan has been improving, and her good impression of him has been growing day by day. On the night when she stayed at Meng He's house, He Nan confided in her sincerely and said, "We can be friends."

At that time, in her heart, He Nan was already her friend.

But now he actually died in front of himself just to protect himself.

Hong Yu was sad and angry at the same time, with tears pouring from her eyes. She had always been a very rational girl - she would not cry over He Nan's body and wipe her tears to increase her sorrow. She wanted to avenge him.

.

She is Hong Yu, the youngest but most talented among the four hidden arrows. She is praised by Yan Chunlai as a future peerless master who can compete with the born martial gods. She has been full of energy since she was born.

The "natural immortal human body"——

The person she wanted to kill had never survived.

A touch of red clothes fell out of the forest and walked slowly towards the battle group. Hongyu's tears were still wet, and her face was full of anger and sorrow. She bit her finger and a drop of blood oozed out.

Hongyu likes water. When she was learning how to use Qi since she was a child, she used Qi as a medium to control water for her own use. She often went to the painting boat in the middle of Yunmeng Lake in Yueyue City, firstly to collect the style for painting.

, and another purpose is to fully "communicate" with water and exercise your ability to melt water. It takes ordinary masters several years or even decades of practice to release the true energy, control objects with energy, and hurt people in the air.

She has mastered the skills at her fingertips. Now, just speaking of her ability to use her true energy as a matchmaker and condense water as a front, it can be said that she has reached an advanced level.

Of course her name is not Hongyu, Hongyu is just her nickname, but why does she use "Hongyu" as her nickname?

Water droplets are colorless and invisible, and after passing through the human body, they will be stained with blood and turn into blood droplets. There are thousands of blood droplets, just like red rain. No matter how strong the true energy is, it still needs the assistance of water. There are always two in her left and right sleeves.

A pure bottle was used as a container. In the melee just now, she had consumed very little water and dew in order to counter Wei Kui. Now, as a last resort, she bit off her finger and used her own blood as water as the blade.

Suddenly, the air was filled with a strong killing intent and the smell of blood. The few ambush soldiers who shot sharp arrows were penetrated by blood drops from their throats and were killed instantly. These people were not within the killing range of Hongyu.

But at this time, Hongyu was so angry that he activated his true energy regardless of the damage, and actually forcibly raised his strength by a few points.

Everyone present noticed the strange situation, but Wang Qing was already frightened and wanted to escape from Hong Yu's unknown hidden weapon that killed people invisible but sealed their throats with blood.

Of course Wei Kui didn't know that Hong Yu rushed out to fight with them because of He Nan, but now seeing that Hong Yu and the ambush soldiers had rushed out, he had to speed up his pace. When he saw Wang Qing turning his horse to escape, he

Throwing the halberd in his right hand, he knocked Wang Qing off his horse and pinned him firmly to the ground.

When the remaining cavalry saw that their officers were all dead, they had no intention of fighting anymore, so they abandoned their helmets and fled. Wei Kui knew that these soldiers had served with him in the Sirius Army and wanted to spare their lives, but Hong Yu

But she didn't think so. There was a lot of fresh blood that had not dried up on the battlefield. She didn't even bother to aim. She just released her true energy and sent blood arrows. She killed all those who could kill, and didn't bother to kill those who couldn't.

Chase.

But seeing the red rain pouring down from the sky, the girl looked miserable. Even Wei Kui felt his teeth aching, "This girl... is a murderer..."

Hongyu walked to Wang Qing who was stuck on the ground with a halberd. Wang Qing was not completely dead yet and still had a breath left. "Girl... girl... please, please let me go..."

I'm not...I'm not..."

Hong Yu's beautiful peach blossom eyes were extremely red and swollen. She shouted heartbreakingly: "He Nan! He Nan was killed by you! He was killed by you!" Then she squeezed the wound on her finger again.

A trace of blood came out, and the blood drops fell like raindrops and got into Wang Qing's throat.

"Uh...who said I'm dead? Don't curse me." Suddenly, a breathy voice sounded in the air, and it turned out to be He Nan, holding his left shoulder and staggering out of the forest.

It turned out that the arrow did not hit He Nan's chest, but his shoulder. When Hong Yu saw He Nan lying on the ground anxiously, he thought that the arrow had hit his chest, but He Nan didn't breathe.

But it was because of the unbearable pain that I fainted and had "tongue swallowing", which made me unable to breathe smoothly.

Hong Yu had almost exhausted all her strength just now. At this time, her face was pale and her pear blossoms were wet. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was real. She swayed and fell into He Nan's arms, sobbing.

, "It scared me to death... I thought you were dead..."

Seeing this scene, it was not difficult for He Nan to guess what had just happened. When he woke up, he also witnessed the second half of the incident, and was secretly stunned - this girl was really... too desperate.

He supported Hongyu and said softly: "Hongyu...thank you."

Hong Yu laid her head on He Nan and exhaled like a blue breath, "It's not Hong Yu, it's Yu Ruyi."

"The fragrance is fragrant and everything goes well - this is my name."
