Chapter 146 Changing lives
Boom! !

The entire Snake Fish Town seemed to be experiencing earth-shaking movements.

"what?"

"The evil people from Ping An Dao have come to Sheyu Town!"

On the street of Yaochai City, Li Yuancheng jumped onto the roof and saw a group of demons in yellow Taoist scarves rushing towards the government office like an army.

With just a preliminary estimate, he was able to roughly figure out that the group of monsters had at least five hundred people!

I don't know why.

At this moment, Li Yuancheng's heart was filled with passion and joy.

"Well done, well done!!"

He was a veteran who had fought in hundreds of battles and was accustomed to casualties on the battlefield. At that time, every charge into the battlefield meant not only the risk of death, but also lives and military merit.

If he had not been framed, he would have been able to climb to the rank of lieutenant colonel in the army, and even captain would not be impossible.

Now, although he has been reinstated as deputy chief constable, as long as he is a government official with some ambition for the future, who would be willing to stand still?

"Captains, the demons have attacked Sheyu Town. Military merit, military merit is coming!!"

Therefore, Li Yuancheng shouted loudly, then drew his sword and rushed towards the government office without hesitation.

"Monster! Military merit!"

The other captains of the police who were traveling with him had basically the same mood, and were not surprised but happy.

Their minds are simple.

Originally, I followed the city guards into the mountains, thinking it was just a simple formality, and I didn't expect to encounter so many Ping An Dao monsters.

But now.

These daring demons from Ping An Province, knowing full well that their government troops were coming into the mountains to suppress the demons, did not even think of escaping into the mountains, but instead dared to launch a counterattack against the imperial court!

This is already a rebellion!!

This is completely different from pacifying the demons. Invisibly, what they have to do now will be replaced by pacifying the demons and pacifying the rebellion...

The difference between these two meanings implies that the merits they imply are also slightly different.

Killing a traitor and killing a demon are worth more than anything else in the world!
"Rebels! Ping An Dao rebelled! These are all military merits, kill them!"

In an instant, the eyes of these constables turned red, and they all followed Li Yuancheng and surrounded the government office.

Chen Ku was also on a roof not far away, grabbing the eaves with his two claws, looking in the direction of the government office where the great battle was taking place with a shocked heart.

"Good fellow, Ping An Dao is not pretending at all, are they really going to rise up in rebellion?"

He couldn't help but reflect on himself.

Originally, he just wanted to shift the blame to someone else, let Pyeongan-do, which already had conflicts with him and Yaowang-tang, take the blame for him, and divert the government's attention.

But he didn't expect that just flapping his wings would lead to an uprising in Pyeongan Province?

but,
On second thought:
"No, I am flattering myself. The evil people in Ping An Dao were not good people from the beginning. They provided free medical treatment and gathered the faith of the country folks. Their intentions were probably not small. What I did was at most a small episode."

Even without him, Ping An Dao would have done the same thing sooner or later.

At most, it was a few days earlier.

Chen Ku calmed down his thoughts and watched the battle in the direction of the government office with a little interest. However, he also saw his brother-in-law Li Yuancheng who was leading the charge towards the government office.

"Hey? Li Yuancheng, what's wrong with you? When you encounter something like this, instead of running away, you rush in? Are you crazy about wanting to make a contribution?"

He saw Li Yuancheng and several constables rushing towards that direction while yelling, and he couldn't help but frown slightly, but he soon understood Li Yuancheng's thoughts.

The presence of traitors is not a bad thing for my brother-in-law, but a good thing.

It means an opportunity to achieve success.

Chen Ku, who originally only wanted to kill the two people from Guxiangmen and escape completely after clearing himself of suspicion, couldn't help but pay attention to Li Yuancheng at this time.

Others can ignore it.

But after all, it was a battle involving more than a thousand people, and the government even mobilized the city guards. It was obvious that those evil people from Ping'an Dao who dared to attack the government office of Sheyu Town must have not sent some good-for-nothings, but a strong force.

This kind of fighting on the battlefield.

Death is too normal and too easy. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can still be attacked by hidden arrows and besieged.

Chen Ku felt that no matter what he had seen, he could not just sit back and watch. At least he could not watch if something really happened to Li Yuancheng, because then his sister would become a widow.

So, it moved its four little paws like the wind, and soon approached the government office.

But see,

The government office had been blown into a large area at this time. Although there were many corpses of government officials, the city guards did not seem to have suffered serious losses.

The reason for everything is simple.

As the "army" under Baojiao County, the city guards are not only equipped with standard horizontal swords and magical crossbows, but everyone wears armor.

After those explosive talismans were thrown into the government office, they did cause some casualties among the government office personnel, but facing the armored city guards, the damage was limited.

I see,

After the rain of talisman papers, the city guards immediately formed up in an orderly manner and appeared outside the government office.

Among them, the equipment in the hands of ten city guards was particularly conspicuous.

That is the divine crossbow.

Each divine crossbow flashed with the cold light of fine steel. It was three feet three inches long, with a string two feet five inches long. It looked almost like a bow and arrow, but with the help of the ingenious mechanisms and parts inside, accompanied by a "creaking" sound, ten city guards officers and soldiers turned the wheel in their hands, pulled the bowstring to the full moon, vibrated the air, and released a rain of arrows!

Chi!Chi!
Suddenly, in the sky outside the government office, the air was torn apart like cloth by the terrifyingly powerful arrows, piercing through it with streams of air that covered the large group of Ping An Dao demons who were coming here to kill them.

Woo woo woo ah!

As the divine crossbow was continuously pulled, more than a dozen arrows could be shot out in a row in one breath, causing the air to whimper like ghosts and wolves howling in the sky, and continuous thunder and lightning exploded like heavy rain!

"Hiss! This is the divine crossbow!!"

Just above the city guards, Chen Ku transformed into a marten, hiding under the eaves, feeling the power and speed of the divine crossbow:

"What a terrifying weapon this is! Each of these ten city guards has a force of only a thousand kilograms, but with this divine crossbow, they can actually shoot arrows with a speed and force comparable to that of a bow with a force of 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms. This directly increases the lethality of each city guard by more than ten times!"

Chen Ku could sense the terrifying force of the arrows the moment the city guards released the divine crossbows. It seemed that each divine crossbow had a bow force equivalent to "ten thousand pounds".

what concept is this,
A person only has the strength of a thousand pounds, but can pull a bow weighing ten thousand pounds. This is not because of the number of people, but because of the special nature of the divine crossbow. It seems that it can allow people to save ten times the strength and exert ten times the strength far beyond their own.

Just imagine that more than a hundred city guards pulling the divine crossbow is equivalent to more than a hundred archers with the power of an elephant pulling their bows and shooting arrows at the same time.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

I saw that these ten powerful crossbowmen pulled the trigger of the crossbow in the blink of an eye, and shot out a large number of arrows in a horizontal row, just like shooting arrows through a candied haws, piercing through a large number of Ping An Dao monsters at a distance of more than 300 feet!

boom!boom!boom! ...

Any monsters that were hit by the crossbow arrows would be knocked backwards by the terrible impact force of the crossbow arrows the moment they were hit.

That’s right, he was knocked out!
In the blink of an eye, half of the demons from Ping An Dao who were rushing towards the government office were killed by the first wave of crossbow arrows, followed by hundreds of arrows!

Divine crossbow!
It's like a divine weapon born to reap lives on the battlefield!
Chen Ku's scalp was tingling at this scene, especially the power of the divine crossbow:
"How exactly was this divine crossbow made?"

It was difficult for him to imagine what kind of material this divine crossbow was made of that could allow a man with a force of a thousand pounds to pull an arrow with a force of ten thousand pounds.

this moment.

He finally understood why the Daji Dynasty had such a terrifying suppressive power over the martial arts world.

Don't mention that Chen Ku now has the strength of the third realm. Even if he is in the fourth realm, he will be caught off guard and shot at by ten divine crossbows at the same time in secret. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of arrows that can penetrate iron and stone will cover him... It is impossible to block it!
"I don't know how many divine crossbows there are in the Baojiao County Government. I've only seen ten so far, and there are 150 city guards. It seems that not everyone can afford one. This means that the conditions for building this divine crossbow are probably very harsh..."

Just when Chen Ku made a horrified comment on the Daji Dynasty's magical crossbow.

But see,

In the distance, hundreds of Ping An Dao demons were shot through by a large number of divine crossbows. After they fell to the ground, although the places where they were shot had holes as big as bowls, they were actually very strange...

They all got up from the ground!
"What the hell is that?"

Chen Kucai felt that even if he had reached the fourth realm, he would not be able to survive facing these ten divine crossbows that shot out hundreds of arrows that could pierce iron and stone.

The results of those who were shot by arrows in Ping An Road were beyond his comprehension.

However, under the gaze of Chen Ku's golden eyes, he quickly saw the crux of the problem. He saw that although the monsters pierced by the divine crossbow arrows could still crawl up, they were all engorged with blood and had glowing talismans on their bodies, as if they were forcibly prolonging their lives.

This scene surprised Chen Ku.

This also caused the faces of the 150 city guards who were leading the team to change drastically.

But soon, a loud shout came from their leader, the city gate captain Ouyang Lie:

"Although the evil magic of the demon can prolong life, it is difficult to avoid death. Our school has never heard of anyone who is truly immortal. They are just using evil magic to prolong their life. Keep shooting arrows and kill as many as you can. When they get close, attack with swords!"

It was just as the captain of the city gate had expected.

Those monsters whose bodies were pierced and whose intestines were even exposed rushed forward for hundreds of feet without any reaction. Suddenly, several of them... fell stiffly on the spot, losing all life and sleeping unable to get up!
Seeing this, the ten powerful crossbowmen no longer had any doubts and continued to load their crossbows!

In this way, he shot two or three waves continuously at the five or six hundred monsters that were rushing over, hitting two-thirds of them. Then he saw that those people had already rushed over within a range of ten feet.

"Get ready to meet the enemy!!"

With Ouyang Lie's loud shout, he was the first to swing his sword and charge towards the army of monsters that were rushing towards him.

For an instant.

The more than one hundred city guards in the government office, as well as the more than one hundred yamen runners who came with the army, all drew their swords and rushed forward.

Chen Ku watched as the two groups of people were about to engage in a decisive hand-to-hand combat.

But strangely, I smelled a sense of crisis.

This sense of crisis actually mainly came from Chen Ku's understanding of the demons in Ping An Dao:

"What's going on? This Sheyu Town is the incense altar of Yao Wensu. How come more than a few hundred Ping An Dao demons came out to attack the government office, but there is no sign of Yao Wensu and other Ping An Dao incense masters and leaders?"

Chen Ku felt strange.

Subconsciously, he started the "Hundred Mile Tracking Technique" to look for the scent of Yao Wensu, whom he had tracked last time, and the Ping An Dao masters in the incense altar in the courtyard.

In an instant,

The smell reappeared in his mind, and he tried to capture the movements within a hundred miles. However, he didn't need a hundred miles at all. Chen Ku could smell Yao Wensu and other high-level leaders of the Ping'an Dao and the Sheyu Town branch directly on a hill four or five miles away from here.

Immediately.

He gazed at the past with his golden eyes covering a distance of hundreds of miles.

Shocked to see.

On the top of the hill, looking down, there were six people standing, the leader of which was none other than Yao Wensu, the incense master of Ping An Dao who had gone to the Gray Clothes Tower that day to offer a reward for him, and who was also the person he framed.

From Chen Ku's golden eyes, he could clearly see Yao Wensu standing there, looking at this place...

Especially when the city guards were about to come into contact with the five or six hundred monsters.

When Chen Ku saw Yao Wensu on the top of the hill, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"This smile... could it be... bad!"

Chen Ku subconsciously felt a chill down his spine, and almost instinctively, he jumped up from the roof without hesitation!

But just as Chen Ku flew up, he left the area in two or three breaths.

When all the city guards and monsters were entangled together.

Hundreds of slogans were chanted in unison and in perfect unison from the mouths of the Ping An Dao demons who had been pierced through by the divine crossbows:

"The heaven nourishes the fertile earth, the wise teacher descends to the heaven and earth, blesses all people in the world, and protects the hometown safely..."

All of a sudden, the five or six hundred Ping An Dao demons, whether they were wounded by arrows or not, all had their talismans glowing in an instant!

Boom boom boom! !
The huge flames and explosions instantly engulfed the many city guards and yamen runners.

"Fuck! Fuck!!"

Even though Chen Ku flew out in advance and avoided this range, he was still horrified when he looked back at this scene:

"Monsters! They are a group of monsters!"

At this moment, how could he not understand that this was not the Ping An Dao coming to attack Sheyu Town, it was clearly a group of Ping An Dao warriors who were trained to be fearless and not afraid of death and were here to exchange their lives with the imperial city guards!
