After hearing Ying Tianlong's words, Lu Yu said,""Fourth brother, these big brothers have just recovered their strength. Moreover, they have been hiding from the government for so many days. It is better not to compete. However, this little brother is willing to use the staff technique passed down in the family in front of all the big brothers. I hope you can give me some pointers.”
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he raised his staff and jumped into the circle. After he appeared, he started to use the Lu family's staff technique. Everyone focused their attention on the circle, but no matter how hard they looked, they could only see the shadow of a staff in the circle. There was no Lu Yu at all.
After a while, the staff shadow slowly slowed down and then stopped. People saw Lu Yu standing in the circle without any sweat on his face.
"Good staff technique!" It was unknown who among the crowd shouted, but only then did the crowd regain their composure and applaud.
After the cheers died down, Lu Yu carried the Coiling Dragon Staff on his shoulder and said,"Everyone, just now, my big brother, third brother and I have practiced for everyone. If there are any areas where our spear techniques, archery techniques, and staff techniques are lacking, please give us some pointers. "Also, big brothers, don't look down on my fourth brother's young age. He's only fifteen this year. But his ability is much higher than us three brothers. Fourth brother, it's time for you to show your skills. Usually, you always shirk it, but today, you can't shirk it anymore.”
Ying Tianlong heard Lu Yu's words, and he really wanted to show off his skills to intimidate the Great Song's Right Camp soldiers so that he could control them in the future. So, he said to Lu Yu,""Second brother only knows how to make fun of little brother, but since second brother said so, I can only make a fool of myself without caring about my face. Hmm, I wonder how Second Brother wants me to make a fool of myself?”
"Big brothers, you all saw just now how amazing my third brother's archery skills are. Also, you all saw how my big brother's eighteen feet Snake Spear can appear and disappear like a ghost. I want my third brother to stand 20 steps away from my fourth brother and shoot five arrows at him. At the same time, my big brother will be three steps behind my fourth brother to block his escape routes. Let's see how my fourth brother will dodge my third brother's five arrows.”
"What? How could he dodge this?”
"That's right. No matter how capable you are, it's impossible for you not to be shot under such restrictions. This Young Master Lu didn't just want to see his fourth brother make a fool of himself, but wanted his fourth brother to die?”
"That's right. Isn't this bullying? Even if it was a competition, there was no place to compete like this.”
After hearing Lu Yu's words, the dozen or so soldiers of the Right Camp of the Great Song began to whisper.
"Second Brother Lu, what kind of rule is this? According to your competition method, that Brother Bao will definitely lose. That kind of competition is unfair. Brother Bao, let's not compete.”Wu Yongyong, who was standing at the side, said loudly after hearing Lu Yu's words.
Even the black-robed guard who had come to escort Ying Tianlong shouted from afar,"Young Master Lu, although you're Young Master's good brother, isn't your method of competition too unfair? Even if Young Master agrees, we won't agree.”
Lu Yu was not angry when he heard everyone's dissatisfaction with him. Instead, he was happy. He continued to say,"In order to ensure the thrill of the competition, my third brother must bring arrows with him when he shoots five arrows. In addition, if my fourth brother is hit by an arrow, he will lose 10,000 taels of silver to us. However, if he wins, we have no money to give him. However, in exchange, the three of us became even more loyal.”
Winners were heroes and losers were thieves. This was an irrefutable truth since ancient times, especially in feudal society. Ying Tianlong, who came from the 21st century, naturally understood this principle even more. Therefore, he only smiled slightly and did not say anything when he heard Lu Yu's words.
Lu Yu knew Ying Tianlong's martial arts and his own power, so he wanted to use the harsh conditions of the competition to show off his power for Ying Tianlong.
Ying Tianlong understood Lu Yu's thoughts, and at the same time, he had a certain level of confidence in his own power. Relying on the Ethereal Footwork, he was confident that he could dodge his third brother's five arrows from 20 steps away. However, Ying Tianlong had no idea how to dodge his big brother's spear technique, which was used three steps behind him. However, Ying Tianlong knew that he couldn't wait for the others to speak up. Otherwise, his second brother would be condemned by everyone.
"Big brother, third brother, you have to show mercy. Don't make things too difficult for me, or else my Sister Wu will never let you off. Mm, in order to prevent third brother's arrow from hurting others, can everyone please stand further away and stand on one side?”Ying Tianlong said. Then, he teased,"Big brother, just block my way with your gun. Don't forget to stab me in the body and butt. Also, don't shoot your arrows at my face, or else I won't be able to marry a wife after I'm disfigured.”
"Hahaha." Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Ying Tianlong's teasing words. The laughter diluted the tense atmosphere by a lot.
"Hehehe." Wu Yongyong could not help but laugh when she heard Ying Tianlong's words. She could hear the confidence in Ying Tianlong's words.
Seeing that everyone had hidden to the side, Ying Tianlong said to Hua Wuhen, who was only 20 steps away from him,"Third Brother, we can start now."
Hua Wu Hen did not reply when he heard Ying Tian Long's words. Instead, he took out five short arrows from his quiver and nocked them on his bow. Following that, everyone heard the sound of a bowstring being pulled, and three short arrows flew out from Hua Wuhen's horned bow. Although the three short arrows were shot out together, they flew in the air with one in front, one behind, and one in the middle. These three short arrows were not only fast, but also slow. They were shot towards the top, middle, and bottom of Ying Tianlong's body. Just as everyone was wondering how Ying Tianlong managed to dodge the three arrows, Hua Wuhen's bow let out a " pa " swoosh. Immediately after, two more arrows flew past the previous three arrows and shot towards the sides of Ying Tianlong's body.
The front was blocked from top to bottom, and the left and right sides were tightly nailed by short arrows. The arrow in the middle suddenly accelerated at this moment and shot towards Ying Tianlong's chest.
At this critical moment, the eighteen feet long Snake Spear behind Ying Tianlong began to dance. Not only did it assist the short arrows that were shooting at him from the front, but it also sealed off Ying Tianlong's retreat route.
In front of him were arrows flying at full speed. The four arrows were fast and slow, but they had sealed all of Ying Tianlong's escape routes.
Behind him was a dancing spear, and his spear technique was unpredictable. There was no way to retreat.
Everyone stared blankly at the deadly arrow and the soul-snatching spear. Their mouths were wide open, but no one dared to make a sound. They were afraid that a single cry or sigh from them would affect Ying Tianlong's reaction and cause him to lose.
Wu Yong closed his eyes tightly and did not look at Ying Tianlong. He even covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from making a sound.
The sound of the arrow leaving the bowstring was gone, and the sound of the wind caused by the dancing of the eighteen feet Snake Spear also stopped. There was no sound on the flat ground beside the mountain path. Wu Yongyong opened his fingers in fear and looked at the direction where Ying Tianlong had just stood. Then everyone heard Wu Yongyong scream,""What? Brother Bao-"
The reason why Wu Yongyong screamed was because she saw Ying Tianlong's frozen side profile through her fingers. Ying Tianlong's upper body leaned backward, and the entire spearhead of Lin Tao's eighteen feet Snake Spear was exposed in front of his chest. Meanwhile, Lin Tao stood behind Ying Tianlong in a daze, his face filled with disbelief.
Not only that, Ying Tianlong was holding two short arrows in his left hand. From Wu Yongyong's angle, the other three short arrows were stuck in Ying Tianlong's mouth and right chest respectively.
Not only did the three arrows pierce through his body, but there was also a snake spear that pierced through his chest. How could Ying Tianlong still be alive? Therefore, Wu Yongyong had no choice but to let out a scream. Following that, she pounced towards Ying Tianlong.
"Brother Bao, Brother Bao, you, you, how can you compete like this? You clearly know--, hey, Brother Bao, how did you--?”Wu Yongyong, who had rushed forward, saw that there was no blood on Ying Tianlong's chest, and his eyes were still open and revealing a wicked smile. Therefore, Wu Yongyong turned his anger into anger and shouted at his brother Bao,"Is it fun to scare people like this? And you, you, you guys, what's going on with you guys?”
Ying Tianlong spat out the short arrow in his mouth and threw away the two arrows in his left hand. He then raised his right arm and threw away the other two arrows and the 18-foot-long Snake Spear under his armpit."Sister Wu, it's okay. Just now, when I couldn't dodge the arrows in front of me and the spear behind me, I had the quick wit to grab the five arrows and spear in my hand and clip them under my armpit. It was the fastest arrow in the middle of the third brother. He didn't have time to catch it with his hands, so he could only take the risk and bite it with his teeth. Fortunately, big brother and third brother didn't use their full strength and didn't use their ultimate move, otherwise I would really have to pay some money.”
At this moment, those people who were stunned just now finally recovered from their shock. They cheered loudly together…
Ying Tianlong had thought about many things when the match began. He had no problem dodging the short arrows that were about to shoot at him and the eighteen feet long Snake Spear that was about to dance behind him. But what if he dodged? Lu Yu's plan would also fail, and even if it didn't fail, it would be difficult to achieve the goal of deterring everyone. Therefore, Ying Tianlong did not choose to dodge. Instead, he thought of how to use his skills to catch the short arrows and snatch the eighteen feet Snake Spear the moment the short arrows were shot and the eighteen feet Snake Spear was swung. But wouldn't that hurt Eldest Brother and Third Brother's face? This was something that made Ying Tianlong feel somewhat troubled.
Ying Tianlong still wanted to think, but the short arrow didn't give him much time to think. Left with no choice, Ying Tianlong could only do as he wished.
Facing the incoming arrow, Ying Tianlong first took a step towards the left. Then, he extended his right foot forward and followed closely behind. The arrow on the right came faster, so Ying Tianlong had to grab the arrow on the right first. When his body swayed to the right, Lin Tao's Eight-Foot Snake Spear followed him like a shadow, and it was a stab followed by a pick. This was exactly what Ying Tianlong wanted. He raised his right arm and the arrows he was waiting for overlapped with Lin Tao's raised spear tip. He suddenly retracted his right arm and tightly clamped the two arrows and the spear under his armpit.
At this moment, the arrow that was flying towards his face suddenly accelerated. Ying Tianlong, who had originally wanted to catch the two arrows on his left, had no choice but to change his strategy. Ying Tianlong leaned forward with the long spear under his right armpit. When the arrow flew over, he opened his mouth and bit the short arrow. Then, he used the momentum to lean back to reduce the force of the arrow. Biting the arrow that flew towards him from the middle, Ying Tianlong took another half a step to the left. At the same time, his left hand quickly grabbed the arrow that was coming from the left.
Then, it was the posture that Wu Yongyong saw: His body leaned back with an arrow in his mouth. His left hand was raised diagonally with two arrows in his hand. The arrow on the right and the snake spear were tightly clamped under his armpit. From the side, it looked like he had been pierced by an arrow and a spear.
"Fourth brother, you really make me and big brother feel ashamed. How did you learn all these martial arts? " How, how…" Hua Wuhen was full of confidence in his archery skills. In his eyes, the archery skills left behind by his ancestor, after more than ten years of hard work, could not be said to be 100% accurate, but no one could easily dodge it. However, he didn't expect Ying Tianlong to not only not dodge today, but also to miraculously catch his Five Plum Arrows so easily. Especially the heart of plum blossom arrow in the middle, which was actually bitten by him with his teeth. One had to know which arrow was the strongest among the five arrows.
Looking at Ying Tianlong in front of him, Hua Wuhen felt a deep blow to his heart.
"Third brother, if I hadn't seen you practice your archery skills, I wouldn't have dared to take your Five Clubs Arrow no matter how good your kung fu was. I'm just being opportunistic." Ying Tianlong comforted Hua Wuhen.
"Hahaha, you've seen Third Brother practice the Five Arrows of Clubs, so you know the trick. But if I use my spear behind you, do you have eyes behind you? That was a unique skill of mine. Who would have thought that you would gently pinch it under your armpit? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get my gun back. I didn't even give my brother any face.”Lin Tao was complaining, but no one could see that he was complaining about Ying Tianlong.
"Sigh, this fourth brother is really boring. So what if you take an arrow and lose some money to us? You're really a money-grubber." No one expected Lu Yu to praise someone like this.
"Brother Lu, are you gloating or praising my Brother Bao? Why do I sound a little jealous when I hear this?”Wu Yongyong had returned to her normal self, although the scene just now had almost scared her heart out of her chest.
"Of course I'm jealous. First, I didn't see Fourth Brother lose money to me. Second, he's taken all the limelight. How can I not feel sour in my heart? Hahahaha!"
This was jealousy. This was clearly joy.
Right at this moment, Deputy General Zhou led his dozen brothers to Ying Tianlong. Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison,"We greet our lord. From today onwards, we are willing to follow our lord and swear our lives to expel the Tartars and take back the great rivers and mountains of our Han people.”
"Ah! I, Ying Tianlong, am only a child in my teens. I can't stand the actions of the current imperial court. In addition, I have some rich money and food in my family that can provide some meager strength. Ying Tianlong did not dare to accept the title of lord.”Ying Tianlong hurriedly said when he heard the shouts of the dozen men.
"Lord, please do not shirk your responsibility and do not belittle yourself. Otherwise, we will never agree. My lord, young masters, today you have first shown us great righteousness, and then you have broadened our horizons. Moreover, we have also learned of your ambition to kill the Tartars, protect the country, and protect the people. Therefore, we have discussed this matter together and decided to support our lord in fighting against the Tartars.”Deputy General Zhou knelt on the ground and spoke on behalf of the dozen or so strong men.
Just as Ying Tianlong was about to say something, a loud shout suddenly came from the foot of the mountain."The imperial edict."
He didn't know how the imperial edict came to this point, nor did he know what the imperial edict meant. Let's watch the next exciting content.
