Chapter 253 - Phantom Arrow
"Da Da!" "Da Da …"
The sound of the horse"s hooves striking the ground was deafening. "More beautiful novels to read. "…
As the sky grew darker, the Crescent City got closer and closer. Unknowingly, the brightly lit town had already entered everyone"s line of sight.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Tang Xiong let out a loud shout and pulled on the reins with his right hand. The horse that was galloping at high speeds stood up and let out a long hiss. Only then did it raise its front hooves and heavily slam into the ground.
In the next moment, the thousand Martial Warriors behind Tang Xiong also reined their horses in.
In that moment, the ground trembled and dust flew. The howls of thousands of strong horses converged into a loud sound wave that resonated outwards, immediately startling the entire Crescent City.
At the front of the line, Tang Xiong frowned.
On the opposite side, there was a group of a hundred meters away from the city. There were more than a thousand people on horseback. At the front of the group, there were a few flags with golden words on the yellow ground fluttering in the wind. Above the flags were the words "Sha Long" and "Dugu".
Sha Long Empire Dugu Yan"s soldiers?
Leaving the city at this late hour?
Just as this thought flashed through Tang Xiong"s mind, his expression changed. It was impossible that the group on the opposite side did not discover that their path was blocked. However, they did not slow down and instead increased their speed.
"Release the arrows!"
Without any hesitation, Tang Xiong waved his hand and roared. The golden spear in his hand shook and immediately began to emit a resplendent glow. Immediately after, Tang Xiong"s two legs clamped down on the horse"s abdomen. The horse he sat on turned into a streak of light and galloped forward.
After a split-second, this group of people followed behind Tang Xiong and moved once again. The Martial Warriors at the front also nocked their bows and nocked their arrows. However, the two carriages stopped right where they were, and the surrounding two hundred or so Martial Warriors s jumped off their horses, tightly protecting their surroundings.
"Chi!" "Chi!" "Swish …"
Cras.h.!.+ The bowstring trembled as one arrow after another pierced through the air.
Although they could not compare to the archers who specialized in archery, when they attacked at the same time, they were still underestimating. Over a hundred sharp arrows, like locusts, covered the entire sky and the ground as they shot towards the group in front of them.
However, the group of Sha Long Empire soldiers who were galloping over were clearly not easy to deal with. As they brandished their weapons, they actually swept away all the arrows to the ground. Only a few people were injured by this Polly Arrow, but their advance was slightly hindered.
"Kill!"
Tang Xiong brandished his spear and roared. The group"s speed had already increased to that of a surging wave, ruthlessly smas.h.i.+ng forward.
Roars, shouts, cries for battle, collisions, and the sounds of horses" hooves shook the earth.
"Someone is trying to stop us, and there are quite a few of them?"
In the group, Tang Huan frowned, a sense of warning suddenly rose in his heart.
In the next moment, without any hesitation, Tang Huan grabbed the little girl who was beside him and immediately rushed out of the window, pouncing towards the side with lightning speed.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
The moment he left, the carriage exploded.
A dark black arrow shot out from the debris and stabbed into the ground about ten meters away. The arrow stirred up a cloud of dust.
The moment Tang Huan landed, he already caught a glimpse of Mu Kui"s figure.
His carriage had also exploded.
In the same instant, two sharp arrows shot towards the two carriages respectively. However, the instant before his carriage exploded, he had already pushed open the tailgate and rushed out. The long sword in his hand shot out a dazzling red light towards another black arrow.
Unfortunately, he was still a bit too slow. His sword radiance missed its target, slicing the ground close to the tail of the arrow, leaving behind a long and narrow gully.
This made Mu Kui angry from embarra.s.sment.
He originally came to protect Tang Huan, but he did not have the ability to protect her just now. If not for Tang Huan"s quick reaction and getting hit by the arrow, he would have been severely injured.
However, even though he was embarra.s.sed and angry, Mu Kui"s reaction wasn"t slow at all.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
The moment his feet landed on the ground, Mu Kui once again leaped up, instantly landing in front of Tang Huan, holding the little girl in his arms behind him. The longsword in his hand released waves after waves of fiery red sword beams, enveloping the entire area with a radius of a few meters, so as to not shoot anymore arrows.
"Hold tight!"
But at this moment, Tang Huan actually let out a low shout, and flung the little girl behind him. The instant she hugged her neck, the Dragon and Phoenix spears in his hands pierced forward with a wild and unparalleled heat;
Almost at the same time, another black arrow came from the direction of the wall.
"Ding!"
In a split-second, the tip of the dragon and phoenix spear collided violently with the arrow.
Amidst the ear-piercing sound, Tang Huan immediately felt an extremely terrifying force flowing over from the tip of the spear. The blood and Qi in his chest churned, and he uncontrollably retreated four steps, while the arrow dropped to the ground. Like ice and snow under the blazing sun, it instantly melted and disappeared without a trace.
"What kind of arrow is this?"
Tang Huan"s pupils constricted, his heart becoming cold, the archer who was attacking from behind was far stronger than the one in front, and his arrow was even stranger, not to mention melting the moment he landed, when the arrow pierced through the void, it did not make any sound at all.
This was simply illogical.
Such a strange archery skill was simply impossible to guard against. Facing such an opponent, let alone Stage Six Martial Master, even a Martial Lord of the eighth step would be in extreme danger.
If Tang Huan was not as alert as before, he might have already been pierced by the arrow.
"Ghost arrows?"
Shouts of alarm rang, and Mu Kui, who had just shot out two arrows from the left side of the road, had his expression change, "Tang Huan, that is an a.s.sa.s.sin from "Secluded Night Divine Palace"! You came here, and he left it for Old … "
"Be careful!"
Mu Kui"s plan was very simple. He wanted to exchange positions with Tang Huan, so he would take care of the killer who was "Secluded Night Divine Palace", and give the left archer to Tang Huan. However, before he could finish speaking, Tang Huan had already shouted out loud, and another sharp arrow shot out from his left.
"Hu!"
It was also at this moment that the Dragon and Phoenix Lance in Tang Huan"s hand pierced forward once again. After a split second, a black stream of light entered Tang Huan"s line of sight, and the thing that Mu Kui had called the "Specter Arrows" once again appeared quietly.
"Ding!"
The spear and arrow clashed, the intense sounds of fighting around them were still extremely ear-piercing, in the next moment, Tang Huan was pushed back.
But, before he could even stabilize his legs, Tang Huan"s face darkened, and fiercely pounced towards his right.
While in the air, Tang Huan seemed to have thought of something, his waist twisted, and his body abruptly turned. It was at this exact instant that a black beam shot forth like a meteor and struck Tang Huan squarely in the left shoulder.
