The sound on the roof is very subtle, and ordinary people will not notice it at all if they don't listen carefully.
The reason why Shao Xi and Lao Wu were able to notice it so quickly was because Lao Wu himself had done this before.
Shao Xi, on the other hand, is extremely sensitive to subtle changes in the outside world due to his improvement in martial arts and the fact that he has dual meridians.
According to Shao Xi and Lao Wu's judgment at this time, there were at least two people on the roof, and there were about six or seven people who jumped over the wall from outside the courtyard and jumped into the courtyard. It seemed that the other party was well prepared.
At this time, there was the sound of tiles being moved on the roof. Shao Xi and Lao Wu knew clearly that they wanted to pull away the tiles on the roof to observe the situation inside the house.
Although the room was dark at the moment, Shao Xi and Lao were sitting side by side, and they could touch the backs of each other's hands when they stretched out their hands.
Lao Wu raised his hand and slid it on the back of Shao Xi's hand in his direction, then drew it in the direction of the door, and then tapped Shao Xi's hand twice with his index and middle fingers as if he were walking.
Shao Xi understood and knew that Lao Wu meant that he would go out from the door to deal with the people in the courtyard, so naturally the two in the room would be handed over to Shao Xi.
So Shao Xi tapped the back of Lao Wu's hand with his backhand to show that he understood.
After a brief communication between the two, Lao Wu stood up and touched the door gently in the dark. His hand was already on the short blade at his waist. As soon as Shao Xi took action, he would open the door bolt as quickly as possible. Rushed into the courtyard from inside the house.
Shao Xi was still sitting firmly on the chair. With the powerful spiritual perception of his meridians, he knew that the two people on the roof had good physical skills, but judging from their aura, their martial arts level was not high.
As long as he launches a surprise attack, the two people in the room will be caught off guard.
With the sound of friction between the tiles and the slight "click" sound, Shao Xi knew that the other party had already pulled out one tile, followed by the second one.
Shao Xi was not in a hurry, but waited patiently for them to take away the tiles and lower their heads to observe inside the house before taking action.
With the second "click" sound coming from the roof, the second tile had been pulled out, and a faint beam of moonlight came in from the square hole in the roof.
Shao Xi raised his hand and gently opened the safety of the arrow in the sleeve of his left arm. As the moonlight disappeared, Shao Xi knew that someone had put their face in front of the square hole and was observing the room.
Shao Xi suddenly raised his hand and shot an arrow from his sleeve in the direction of the square hole with a "whoosh" sound.
Just listen to the man on the roof wailing "Ouch", followed by the sound of "crackling" pressing the tiles, and finally a "plop".
It was obvious that this person had been hit in the face by the arrow in Shao Xi's sleeve. He was in pain and lost control of his body and rolled from the roof to the courtyard.
Before Shao Xi could wait for the second person on the roof to react, he regained his strength and jumped up on a dry land to pull onions. With a "bang" sound, Shao Xi's entire body came out of the square hole.
While he was still in the air, he saw another person on the roof who was obviously caught off guard by the sudden attack he launched.
Judging from the body posture, it can be seen that this person was frightened by this sudden situation, and his whole body had fallen backwards on the roof.
Shao Xi didn't give him a chance to react. He raised his hand and shot out another arrow from his sleeve, hitting the man's throat. The man rolled off the roof before he even had time to cry out.
Shao Xi took out the two people on the roof in just a moment, and at this time, he had already jumped to the roof.
Lao Wu's reaction was not slow. When the first person was hit by an arrow in Shao Xi's sleeve, Lao Wu reached out and opened the door bolt. When Shao Xi jumped up to the roof, Lao Wu had already opened the door and jumped into the yard.
In the courtyard, he saw six black shadows surrounding the door in a fan shape. Without saying a word, Old Wu pulled out his short blade and "swish, swish, swish" a few times before throwing out six almost invisible air blades.
Each air blade hits different parts of each person. Some hit the hands, some hit the feet, and some hit the knees.
It can be seen that Lao Wu's purpose is obviously to make the opponent lose their fighting power, not to take their lives.
Another reason is that the air blade fired by Lao Wu originally has limited lethality. If it does not hit some vital parts, the damage it can cause is indeed somewhat insufficient.
Therefore, every time Lao Wu makes a move, he is very tricky, specifically hitting parts that do not cause high damage but are enough to make the enemy lose their combat power. This is also the essence of Lao Wu's practice of Xiyue.
The short blade is inherently concealed, and the air blade it fires is inconspicuous. If you hit some unexpected parts of the opponent, the success rate of each shot will be greatly improved.
Sure enough, as expected by Old Wu, the six air blades fired by Old Wu all accurately hit the six black shadows, and everyone let out a groan.
The weapons in someone's hands fell off, and some lost their footing and fell to the ground. The one who was hit on the foot jumped twice on one leg and sat on the ground. He didn't want any weapons anymore, holding his feet with both hands and groaning. He completely ignored the old Wu in front of him.
Lao Wu himself felt a little surprised. He originally thought that it would be good if he could hit one or two people with his shot. How could one or two of them block his air blade? But he didn't expect that all six people would be hit by this shot. Old Wu couldn't help but feel happy.
In fact, it was not a fluke that he succeeded. The six people in front of him were originally at the peak of the third level of martial arts. Coupled with the special nature of Xiyue practiced by Lao Wu and his extremely fast attacks, all six people were eliminated in an instant. It makes sense.
Old Wu looked at the results of the battle in front of him and suddenly became distracted.
I have been running away from people for most of my life. Now I am facing the enemy and can kill six people with one strike. It is really satisfying.
You must know that these six people are completely different from the group of ruffians they dealt with in the gauze shop of the gauze girl in Yujiang County. They are a group of trash.
And these six people are all serious martial arts practitioners, and the level of the third-level peak is not too bad in the world.
At this moment, Old Wu suddenly felt like a master. Looking at the six people groaning in pain, Old Wu's back straightened, and the original wretched and rickety look had long since disappeared.
I saw Old Wu put the short blade back into its sheath, stood there with his hands behind his back, craning his neck and looking down at the six people in front of him.
I thought to myself, I never thought that I would be proud of myself one day. After spending half my life wandering around in the arena, I could finally get over the addiction of being a master.
Just when he was feeling proud, the second man on the roof happened to roll down and landed at Old Wu's feet with a "plop".
This startled Old Wu, and he jumped out with a bang. His whole body was instantly knocked back to his original shape and returned to his previous wretched appearance.
When he turned around to see clearly what was going on, Old Wu finally let out a long breath and raised his hand to pat his chest.
"It's okay, it's okay! If it were any more crooked, old man, my frame would be smashed to pieces."
Shao Xi jumped down from the roof, glanced at the six people staggering around, and nodded at Old Wu, seeming to be very satisfied with Old Wu's results.
He turned around and walked towards the two people he knocked down from the roof, pulled out the short arrows from their bodies and put them back on the arrows in his sleeves.
The first person who was hit was much more miserable. This person was hit in the eye by Shao Xi's arrow. He was not killed at this time and was lying on the ground wailing.
When Shao Xi pulled out the arrow, he actually pulled out the man's eyes, and the man howled even louder.
Looking at the eyeball on the arrowhead, Shao Xi got goosebumps all over his body. He put the arrowhead on the sole of his shoe and rubbed the eyeball off, then put the short arrow back in.
There were humming sounds and "ouch" sounds in the yard, which had already alarmed Zhang Chong, Zhao Qiaoyun, and Shiliu in the house.
Zhang Chong was seen rushing to the door with a straight knife in his hand, protecting Zhao Qiaoyun and Shiliu behind him.
After Shao Xi installed the arrow in his sleeve, he said loudly to the door of the courtyard: "You are here, why are you so polite? Could it be that you are waiting for me to go out to greet you two?"
As soon as Shao Xi finished speaking, he saw two figures jumping from outside the courtyard wall into the courtyard. Shao Xi looked at them in the moonlight and felt a little surprised for a moment.
The two figures looked like the same person. They were both short and thin. They were both dressed in black with bamboo hats and held long knives in their hands.
If their faces weren't covered by bamboo hats, Shao Xi would have thought they were twins just from their looks.
At this time, Zhao Qiaoyun, who was standing behind Zhang Chong, nervously grabbed Zhang Chong's sleeve and whispered, "It's Yan Song! And that person from last night!"
If others had said this, Shao Xi and Lao Wu might have thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when it came from Zhao Qiaoyun's mouth, they believed it.
It's not that Zhao Qiaoyun has any special ability to determine the identity of the other party, but Zhao Qiaoyun's fear of them as a victim has already penetrated deep into his bones. As long as the other party appears, the fear in Zhao Qiaoyun's heart will arise spontaneously. .
Now that the identities of these two people have been confirmed, there is nothing left to test.
Shao Xi hugged his shoulders and said to the two people in front of him: "It seems that I guessed it right. It is indeed two people! Yan Song, haven't seen each other for a year. Are you okay?"
Hearing Shao Xi's words, one of the other party raised his hand and took off the bamboo hat on his head. Looking through the moonlight, it turned out to be Yan Song who was beaten into a pig's head by Shao Xi a year ago.
At this time, Yan Song had a sinister look on his face, staring at Shao Xi, as if he wanted to eat Shao Xi alive on the spot.
"Master Shao! Thanks to your care, I, Yan Song, have been doing pretty well this year. Back then, I was careless and underestimated my enemy and fell into your trap. Today, you are not so lucky!"
After hearing Yan Song's words, Shao Xi raised his lips and smiled with a slight contempt, then raised his finger and pointed at the other person next to Yan Song.
"It seems that you have found a good helper this time. Why don't you introduce him to me?"
