Nangong Xier and Su Baiyi looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the guy who was pushed here by the Blood Judge and the others was not very strong, otherwise he would not be scared before even fighting.
"Alas, I really don't know how to fight..." The man in black looked at Su Baiyi helplessly.
Su Baiyi smiled and said, "If you don't want to fight, you don't have to. I don't want to fight either."
The man in black wiped the sweat from his forehead after hearing this: "That's good, that's good, otherwise I would have been beaten to a pulp by you..."
Su Baiyi waved his hand and said, "Make way and let us go."
The black-clothed man's face changed slightly: "But the boss said that you should go to the Demon City as a guest. Although I can't beat you, I can only watch you go. Then I will be beaten to death by the boss."
"Is there any point in forcing the guest to go if he doesn't want to go?" Su Baiyi laughed in anger.
The man in black thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
The people in this Demon City are really more peculiar than each other... Su Baiyi helplessly waved Zhao Xiaqiu's two broken swords again: "Then there is no other way, we can only fight."
"Is fighting the only option left?" The man in black said with a sad face, "But it's already difficult for me to fight any one of you alone, how can I fight two of you?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Su Baiyi said impatiently.
"Okay then." The man in black suddenly took a step back, took off the vermilion longbow on his back, took out an arrow from the quiver on his waist, and put the arrow on the string in one smooth motion.
"Archer?" Su Baiyi was a little surprised. In the martial arts world, eighteen kinds of weapons, swords, spears and halberds are not uncommon, but bows and arrows are mostly used by government soldiers and rarely used by people in the martial arts world. The man in front of him is an extremely rare archer in the martial arts world.
The man narrowed one eye, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and his whole body suddenly exuded an extremely sharp aura, which was completely different from his previous silly look. Nangong Xier was the first to notice the change in the man and immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
Su Baiyi had originally planned to move forward with the sword, but after hearing the shout, he immediately put away the sword and retreated. Nangong Xier leaped in front of Su Baiyi and swung the sword.
The sword intent of flowing water.
Everything in the world flows away like flowing water, drifting away in all directions, and all things return to the East.
It is known as the most gentle and long-lasting sword technique in the world, yet also the most vast and majestic.
But an arrow that is fast enough can penetrate water.
The arrow went straight through Nangong Xier's vast sword intent, brushed past her temples, and cut off a few strands of her hair. Nangong Xier turned her head sharply and swung her sword again, trying to cut off the feather arrow, but it was too late. The arrow went straight to Su Baiyi. Su Baiyi felt that time seemed to freeze in an instant, and his mind was blank.
Nothing to think about, nothing to imagine.
I just felt the breath of death, which seemed to be infinitely close.
In these few short months, Su Baiyi has experienced life and death several times, but never like at this moment, when he could even smell the blood after his head was split open.
But in the end, the feather arrow was an inch higher and pierced Su Baiyi's hair, carrying him several feet away and nailing him and the arrow directly to the wall.
There was total silence in the inn.
Only Zhao Xia Qiu sighed softly, as if he had anticipated this situation.
The Blood Judge and the Ghost Scholar immediately cheered: "Gu Touer's arrows are indeed as good as their reputation!"
The man in black put away his longbow and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It was a close call, it was a close call, I almost lost the fight."
Su Baiyi was sweating all over, his hands and feet were stiff, and he almost killed himself with just one arrow. Is this also called "almost failing the fight"
Nangong Xier frowned slightly and raised her sword.
The man in black noticed this action and instantly raised his longbow again, aiming at Nangong Xier.
All archers are afraid of close combat, so as long as Nangong Xier finds the opportunity to get within three steps of the man in black, then the man in black will have no chance. Nangong Xier took a step forward, ready to use the horse-riding body movement at any time to cut into the side of the man in black.
"Girl." The man in black said in a deep voice, "It's not that serious."
Su Baiyi pulled out the arrow on his head, walked to Nangong Xier's side, and pressed down the sword: "This brother is right, it doesn't have to be this serious. I'm just going to be a guest."
Nangong Xier put down her sword, her palms sweating. The arrow shot by this archer was too terrifying. She said in a deep voice, "May I know your name, brother?"
The man in black put down his bow and arrow: "Demon City, Gu Ye."
"Sure enough." Nangong Xier said slowly, "You were once the best archer under the King of Luoyang. Later, you killed the prince of Luoyang with one arrow and fled everywhere. You have disappeared in recent years. Some people say that you are dead, and some people say that you have joined the Demon City."
"King Luoyang knows that I am in Demon City." Gu Ye smiled. "Although my martial arts skills are mediocre and I definitely cannot defeat so many masters under King Luoyang's command, I have the protection of the city lord, so he dare not provoke me."
“But what I heard was that you killed thirteen masters above the Autumn Water Realm with just thirteen arrows, and broke out of the net set up by King Luoyang by yourself.” Nangong Xier said faintly.
Gu Ye waved his hand: "It's just a rumor. I'm not that powerful. It's all thanks to the protection of Demon City."
"You are very modest." Nangong Xier curled her lips and took a few steps forward.
"It's true that I'm not strong enough." Gu Ye smiled, "Otherwise, the city lord should have given such an important task of escorting you to the Demon City to me, instead of giving it to Zhao Xiaqiu."
"Why does your city lord insist on letting Su Baiyi be the guest?" Nangong Xier said casually, and had unknowingly walked to Gu Ye's side.
Gu Ye thought about it, then shook his head and said, "I don't know about that... This matter has nothing to do with me. I just happened to pass by—" Before he finished speaking, Gu Ye raised his head and looked at Nangong Xier with a pale face.
Nangong Xier's long sword was against Gu Ye's waist, and her voice was cold: "All is fair in war."
Gu Ye sighed softly: "We are from Demon City, and we are recognized by the world as the great villains. The saying that all is fair in war is suitable for us to say and it is more suitable for us to do it."
The Blood Judge and the Ghost Scholar had come behind Su Baiyi without knowing when, and each of them held a knife on Su Baiyi's neck. Su Baiyi shrugged helplessly at Nangong Xier.
Zhao Xiaqiu finally calmed down his breath at this moment. He spoke with a hoarse voice: "Gu Ye, you don't have to worry about this matter. I will send the two of them back to Demon City."
