Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 74 Qinglong Tower is not a building
The plane just landed in Shanghai from Singapore, and I'll have to transfer to Changchun later. I'm sending this chapter to everyone at Pudong Airport. I rushed it out on the plane, and the next chapter will be written on the plane to Changchun...

My most profound impression of Singapore during my visit to the annual conference was the hotel breakfast and the local takeaway. I was stuck in the hotel, cramming in manuscripts, and missed a great opportunity to dine with dozens of authors.

Seeking monthly ticket comfort...

Senior Brother Zhang Ji was very experienced. With just a little trickery, the man revealed that they were assassins from a killer organization called "Qinglong Tower", but they really didn't know who their employer was.

If caught, they would insist that they were sent by the court and that it was the employer's request.

Well, this information is not very useful.

Sun Yanwan originally wanted to file a complaint and ask his master to take action against Qinglonglou. After Zhang Ji's explanation, he realized that "Qinglonglou" was not an "organization".

There are at least seventy or eighty organizations in the underworld that have borrowed the name of Qinglonglou. Even many high-level people in the assassin organizations don’t know whether they are genuine Qinglonglou assassins or counterfeit ones.

There is no need to chant any curse.

Sun Yanwan never thought that the world of martial arts was so complicated.

Zhang Ji casually killed the assassin. Sun Yanwan went to "notify" Sun Lingdie, and the Tianji Sun family rushed over to deal with the aftermath. The two brothers felt a little ashamed. If it weren't for the Tianji Sun family, they would have had to dig a pit and bury the person themselves.

When he was in Taiyi Temple, Sun Yanwan and his senior brother Zhang Qingxi dug holes to bury people. It was a very hard job.

Well, he always thought, why bother burying it?
The whole big pit, just throw the person into it, how easy it is!

That night!

Nothing more happens.

Early the next morning, there was the sound of neighing horses outside Chengjiazhuang. Hundreds of horse bandits from Northern Yan surrounded the village. Zhang Ji tried to break in with his sword, but was shot back by arrows.

Although he was a martial arts master, he was not good at external hard skills and could not withstand the powerful bows and crossbows. The hundreds of horse bandits were skilled in riding and shooting. Zhang Ji could use his sword to deflect the arrows and resist for a while, but he could not hold on for too long.

What's more, he is the most skilled martial artist among the group. If he makes a mistake and gets injured, he will not be able to protect his fellow disciples.

Zhang Ji's face was solemn as he said to Sun Yanwan, "The Blood Wolf Cavalry, a band of Northern Yan horse bandits, must be secretly controlled by someone. We killed two groups of assassins, and they ordered the Blood Wolf Cavalry to launch a large-scale attack. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't be afraid, but a confrontation between two armies like this will greatly limit our martial arts skills. Moreover, there may be hidden masters among the Blood Wolf Cavalry."

Sun Yanwan found two groups of assassins, which made Zhang Ji take him seriously. He would take the initiative to discuss things with him whenever he encountered problems.

Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu could only stand by, like two little quails, unable to get anything in their mouths.

Sun Lingdie and Namco didn't want to speak carelessly at all, although in terms of intelligence, both women were superior to Zhang Ji.

Yu Jinting was in even worse shape. He wanted to make suggestions several times, suggesting charging out directly and being willing to be the vanguard himself, but before he could open his mouth, Zhang Ji and Sun Yanwan analyzed the enemy situation and made it clear that recklessness was not feasible.

Sun Yanwan pondered for a long time and asked, "Among the two sisters' entourage, is there anyone who is proficient in the art of archery?"

Sun Lingdie said hurriedly, "Two of them did bring bows and arrows, but their archery skills weren't very good." Sun Yanwan said, "Lend me your bows and arrows."

Sun Lingdie gave the order, and soon a bow and arrow was delivered.

Sun Yanwan pulled the bow once, then slowly retracted it, praising it inwardly: "Not bad quality."

In his previous life, he had dated a female equestrian coach, a female fitness coach, and a female archery coach. He had practiced archery quite well, but the female archery coach was a green tea, and her level was quite high. By the time he realized it was impossible, he had already paid a year's fee and could only endure the pain and continue training...

Sun Yanwan held a bow and arrow, jumped onto the wall of Chengjiazhuang, aimed at the Blood Wolf Riders not far away, drew his bow and shot an arrow. He was aiming at ordinary horse bandits, his bow was as fast as lightning, and his arrows flew like meteors.

The archery skills he practiced in his previous life came in handy with the help of his martial arts in this life. He fired eight arrows in a row and killed seven Northern Yan horse bandits. The last one's arrow was affected by the wind direction, and he knew there was no hope as soon as he shot.

The Blood Wolf Cavalry roamed across Northern Yan and reacted extremely quickly. Before Sun Yanwan could shoot the ninth arrow, countless arrows came flying through the air. Sun Yanwan did not want to be a hero. He turned over and hid behind the wall, watching dozens of arrows flying over his head. He also heard a thud, which was the dull sound of the arrows hitting the courtyard wall.

Sun Yanwan smiled and collected the arrows that had shot into the courtyard wall.

Originally, even if the people in the martial arts world carried bows and arrows, their quivers could only hold a dozen or so feather arrows at most. With this batch of captured items, he suddenly became "richer".

The Blood Wolf Cavalry shot a round of arrows and then stopped. Sun Yanwan turned over and climbed onto the wall again, still shooting rapidly.

This time, after he shot three arrows, he heard a sharp whistling of the wind. Knowing that it was a master who shot the arrows, he turned over without hesitation and landed inside the courtyard wall. An arrow that was thicker and longer than an ordinary feather arrow brushed the courtyard wall and hit a horse post inside Chengjiazhuang, piercing through the post, which was thicker than an adult man's thigh.

Anyone who shoots arrows and launches a surprise attack is considered the best choice for the time being, no matter in terms of archery, vision, or martial arts.

He even predicted the direction in which Sun Yanwan would dodge, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and Sun Yanwan was proficient in the art of listening, so he failed to hit him.

Sun Yanwan hid behind the courtyard wall, concentrating his ears. He heard someone approaching with light skills. With great joy, he shouted to Zhang Ji, "Brother Zhang, a powerful master is coming up alone."

Zhang Ji was watching on the side, stunned. He didn't expect that they were surrounded by the Blood Wolf Cavalry, and the other side had powerful bows and crossbows, and there might even be hidden masters. The situation was extremely critical, but how could it be like a game in the eyes of this Junior Brother Sun?
In order to intimidate Zhuangzi, the Blood Wolf Cavalry always kept a distance within one shot. Sun Yanwan just took advantage of this distance and shot the Blood Wolf Cavalry in return. He selected ordinary Northern Yan horse bandits, so naturally he could kill them one by one. Although it had little effect on the Blood Wolf Cavalry's strength, it boosted their morale and also angered the Blood Wolf Cavalry.

The Blood Wolf Rider leader who lurked up alone and wanted to shoot Sun Yanwan probably didn't expect that Sun Yanwan's first reaction was to call him "senior brother."

This is because Zhang Qingxi is not here, and Senior Brother Zhang Ji is not using it very smoothly...

Otherwise, Sun Yanwan wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

Sun Yanwan waved, and Zhang Ji rushed over. Sun Yanwan said, "Brother, I'll throw a piece of clothing up there. You hide behind it, and then I'll jump out to attract their attention. From now on, it's all up to you, brother. You must kill this Blood Wolf Rider leader."

Zhang Ji nodded. Sun Yanwan took off her Taoist robe and sighed in her heart, thinking, "Am I really not good enough to wear good clothes? The clothes that Sister Sima made for me last time were chopped to pieces by the assassins of the Demon Cult. This Taoist robe that Senior Brother made for me will also suffer some disaster!"

He exerted his strength and threw his pale yellow Taoist robe out, which unfolded in the air. As expected, Zhang Ji leaped up and hid inside the robe. He was a fourth-rank master, and his Qinggong was extraordinary. The second leader of the Blood Wolf Riders, who had ventured close to shoot Sun Yanwan, didn't notice at all and even sneered to himself, "What a petty trick! You dare to fool your grandfather."

Sun Yanwan was about to jump up to attract Senior Brother Zhang Ji's attention so that he could launch a sneak attack, when he heard Zhang Ji shout "Die!"

He didn't even hear the sound of fighting. Before his light yellow Taoist robe fell, Zhang Ji picked up a bloody head and returned.
