Strong bows, heavy crossbows, and thousands of arrows.
The thin green tiled windows were like paper, and they were all torn apart in an instant. The solid stone wall was hit by sharp arrows wrapped in true energy, and rubble flew everywhere. It only lasted two or three breaths before it collapsed.
Covered by strong bows and heavy crossbows, the room is no longer a safe place.
There are masters from the seventh and eighth heavens who want to escape despite the rain of arrows, but are immediately locked by the octagonal heavy crossbow. The next moment, the crossbow arrows directly penetrate the true energy defense and are nailed to the ground, dying.
Wan Qiuqing raised his hand, and the arrow rain stopped.
Thirty breaths later, the Xue Family Courtyard, with its green bricks and green tiles, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, became ruined and devastated.
Zhang Xiaozu's lips and teeth were dry, his face was pale, his eyes showed fear, and his heart was extremely frightened and shocked.
This round of arrow rain attack completely overturned his understanding of bows and arrows, and for the first time he saw the powerful power of thousands of arrows.
In the Black Forest, he had experienced an attack by a rain of arrows. At that time, he just woke up from a coma, and relied on his subtle state of mind to show his power. He held an arrow and deflected it left and right, and walked freely in the rain of arrows.
It was this experience that made him lose his awe of the thousands of arrows in his consciousness, and subconsciously felt that he was in a subtle state of mind, and no matter how dense the arrow rain was, it could not hurt him.
Only then, after witnessing the destruction of the Xue family in the rain of arrows, did he realize that he had taken it for granted. The group of big-toothed soldiers he encountered in the Black Forest were weak and did not wield the powerful power of bows and arrows at all. Otherwise, with his meager skills at the time, he would have been shot into hedgehogs in an instant.
When the arrows rained down just now, he imagined that he was in the courtyard of Xue's family, trying to rush out of the rain of arrows. The final conclusion was eight words - there is no way to the sky, and no way to the earth!
As if sensing the fear in Zhang Xiaopou's heart, Wan Qiuqing suddenly said: "They are the crossbowmen of Yancheng Crossbow Camp Y-zi Camp. They hold armor-piercing powerful bows that can shoot through within a hundred steps." One-inch thick iron plate, everyone is a master of the fourth heaven. If they had been allowed to press forward fifty steps when the bow was fired just now, the Xue family would be in ruins now."
"Already." Zhang Xiaozhu said with a bitter smile as he looked at the collapsed house walls in the Xue family's courtyard.
"It's a little worse, but it's just right. Those who are not afraid of death have rushed out to die, while those who are afraid of death have hid in the house and have not come out, which saves a lot of trouble in the interrogation." Wan Qiuqing said with a smile, and waved around. , ordered: "Bring back all those who have a living spirit, and those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Her voice was clear and loud, spreading to every corner of the Xue family compound.
Zhang Xiaozhu looked at the soldiers wearing helmets and armor and holding steel knives, pouring into the Xue family compound from all the streets in darkness, and asked Wan Qiuqing the doubt in his heart just now: "Why does the head of the Xue family want to die instead of living?" ?”
"Survival? Haha, do you think the Xue family still has a chance to survive?" Wan Qiuqing sneered, "The Xue family has hidden so many Da Ya spies, and it has become a stronghold for Da Ya to lurk in Yancheng. Even if the head of the Xue family does not know it, it is still difficult to Escape from the charge of harboring enemy spies is an unforgivable crime that implicates the nine clans. He is seeking death at this time, and he is also seeking survival for his side bloodline. Otherwise, the nine clans will not be able to escape if they are charged with the crime together."
"But he really doesn't know?"
"Then add a word of negligence in front of the crime, and get a lighter sentence. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. The men in the family were stripped of their household registration and demoted to slaves. The women were stripped of their household registration, sent to the church, and became military prostitutes. And record them one by one, and the three generations will not be able to take off their humble status."
"Do you think it's better to die or live?" Wan Qiuqing asked Zhang Xiaopou.
"That's it." Zhang Xiaozhu looked miserable, and then he realized the tragedy and despair of Xue Maochun's death wish.
One by one, members of the Xue family, or big-toothed spies pretending to be the Xue family, were captured by the soldiers, handcuffed and shackled, and the skilled ones directly pierced the pipa bone with chains. A cruel interrogation awaited them. Of course, there were also those who were unwilling to be captured without mercy, but most of them were hacked to death by the soldiers with swords and octagonal heavy crossbows with advanced cultivation levels.
boom!
A figure broke through the roof and rose into the sky. Its momentum was majestic and powerful, and it turned out to be a half-step powerful man.
"Seeking death!" Wan Qiu shouted loudly, and his figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, blocking the Xue family's path. The blue and white sword was unsheathed and slashed out.
"Get out!" The half-step master of the Xue family was eager to escape. When Wan Qiuqing blocked his way, he was anxious and angry. He slashed at Wan Qiuqing with the long knife in his hand and all his strength, hoping to kill Wan Qiuqing with one blow.
The long sword cuts across the sky, with the power to open up the world.
However, the Wanqiu Qingqing Flower Sword was slashed out in an ordinary manner, first cutting off the long sword, and then beheading the person.
The Xue family was able to shed blood in the sky, and was almost disemboweled by Wan Qiuqing's sword. His body fell to the ground like a kite with broken strings. He fell to the ground with a bang, twitched several times and passed out.
The whole audience was shocked.
The fact that Wan Qiuqing was a half-step expert was shocking enough, but she never expected that she was actually such a powerful half-step expert. She defeated the Xue family's half-step expert with just one sword strike. This sword made many people know that the gap between half-step power can be so huge.
In fact, there is indeed a gap between the half-step master of the Xue family and Wan Qiuqing, but it is far from being unable to withstand Wan Qiuqing's sword. The main reason was that he was focused on escaping and was too confident. He looked down on Wan Qiuqing through his nose, but was killed by Wan Qiuqing's sword.
"Are all sword cultivators so unreasonable in their attacks?" Zhang Xiaopou looked at Wan Qiuqing hanging in the air and murmured to himself. This sword and the sword of Wei Guogong that night were as simple and unpretentious and as powerful. endless.
Wan Qiuqing showed off her might with a sword and immediately won applause from the soldiers. They had some complaints in their hearts, and felt that it was contempt and disrespect for them, the elites of the army, to be commanded by a woman. But after this sword attack, they no longer had any grudges in their hearts, and they respected Wan Qiuqing quietly.
In the military, strength matters most.
The Xue Family Courtyard was silent for a while. Suddenly, more than twenty figures came out and fled in different directions. There were six or seven half-step masters, and the rest were all masters of the seventh or eighth heaven. As one of the five major families in Yancheng, the Xue family does not have a powerful star in charge, but it still has the basic foundation.
The hair on Zhang Xiaozu's body suddenly stood up, and he saw a few dark spots of light coming from the city wall. Before he could realize what they were, he saw the half-step master who had escaped from the Xue family spread blood and pieces of flesh into the sky. All over the place.
Dong dong dong——
Zhang Xiaozhu's pupils shrank to a point, and his heart was stuck in his throat, beating like a drum. At that moment, he actually felt like he was dead. He saw that although Wan Qiuqing was still standing in the sky with her feet in the whirlwind, a heavy cold sweat fell from her forehead, and her face became a little pale. Obviously, at that moment, even though she knew that the Octagonal Zhuxian Heavy Crossbow was not aiming at her, she still couldn't help but feel fear.
The octagonal immortal-killing heavy crossbow can shoot a half-step as powerful as a house sparrow!
So scary!
In front of the imperial army, the five major families are like domestic sparrows.
The masters of the Xue family were dead and wounded, and there was no more trouble.
Half an hour later, the soldiers searched every corner of the Xue family where people could hide, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no living things in the courtyard, they evacuated towards Wan Qiuqing Fuming, but a school captain's camp was still left to blockade the Xue family compound.
Zhang Xiaozu was sitting on the roof of the building, holding his chin in his hand. He felt that Wan Qiuqing did not ask him to kill people, but asked him to see the murderers and see the majesty of the empire. But just when he was thinking about leaving, Wan Qiuqing finally remembered his existence and waved to him from the Xue family compound.
Zhang Xiaozu hurriedly jumped down from the roof, jumped on the eaves and roofs, entered the Xue family courtyard, and landed in front of Wan Qiuqing.
"Did you see that?" Wan Qiuqing pointed at the broken walls around him and said coldly: "If you dare to disrespect my family in the future, I guarantee that your end will be a hundred times worse than this."
"Cough——" Zhang Xiaozu was so frightened that he choked on his trachea with a mouthful of saliva, which made his cheeks bloodshot. He hurriedly bowed his back, looking obedient and obedient.
Only then did he know the purpose of Wan Qiuqing calling him here.
Wan Qiuqing was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaozu's low-brow look, and said: "Go, use your subtle state of mind to find all the secret rooms that have not been searched."
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. Having tasted the sweetness, he had fallen deeply in love with the secret rooms of the big family, especially the secret rooms where treasures of heaven, earth, materials and elixirs were hidden.
"If you find the treasure house where the elixir is hidden, I will ask for half of the reward, otherwise I won't do it." Zhang Xiaozu said directly.
"good."
"Really?" Zhang Xiaozu didn't expect Wan Qiuqing to agree so simply. He was preparing to bargain with Wan Qiuqing.
"Really!" Wan Qiuqing nodded affirmatively.
"Liar is a puppy."
“Believe it or not, I’ll blow your dog’s mouth out with one punch?”
"——"
An hour later, Zhang Xiaozu searched every room and achieved great results. He found fifteen secret rooms and countless hidden compartments. He also successfully found the Xue family's treasure house where heavenly materials and earthly treasures were stored. Half of his reward was Wan Qiuqing forced him to keep it for him temporarily, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't help but fight with Wan Qiuqing.
"What are you doing here? You made me look for you for a long time." Wan Qiuqing found Zhang Xiaopou who was sulking in the backyard of Xue's house. He threw a bulging baggage to Zhang Xiaopou and said, "It is impossible to give half of the treasure house to Zhang Xiaopou. Yours, the war is about to begin and supplies are in short supply. Every pill is a life-saving medicine for the soldiers. I hope you can understand. These are rewards for you. I specially selected them for you. Although they are not the best in the treasure house, they are It must be the best for you.”
"Hehe, that's about it." Zhang Xiaozhu weighed the heavy baggage, and his expression suddenly changed from gloomy to clear.
"What a stingy guy." Wan Qiuqing couldn't help laughing, and then said hello: "Let's go."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaozu stood up, patted the dust on his butt and walked towards Wan Qiuqing. They walked to the front yard with Wan Qiuqing, but as they walked, he suddenly stopped with a frown and looked back at the backyard.
"What's wrong?" Wan Qiuqing asked.
"There seems to be something wrong with that dry well in the backyard." Zhang Xiaozu frowned. He had been sitting on the edge of the well with his back to the well just now. He realized that it was a dry well, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. But as he walked, a detail that he ignored suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he realized that something seemed wrong about the dry well.
