The eighth day of the sixth lunar month is a good day for travel and burial, as it will bring bad luck to the east!

The sun was scorching, the flying sand was dazzling, and the sword light was spinning and carrying streams of sand. Every time Li Yuanfang jumped, every time he evaded, someone would pass the sword to him. He was such a terrifying killer.

Li Yuanfang was a vanguard under Chen Ying, the military governor of Jiannan Province, and is now the captain of the guard of the Turkic Mission. He has experienced more than two hundred major and minor battles in his life, but has never encountered such an enemy.

With the tacit understanding of the sword attack technique, the movement is as fast as lightning, and the uniform black masked night uniform, just take one of them and you will be a third-level master in the world!

At first, they thought they were being sniped by strong men from the green forest, but these people had clear goals and regarded all tributes as nothing, and only targeted Shibi Khan, the envoy of the Turkic mission, with the intent to kill.

What is Shibi Khan here for? He is here to hand over the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If he dies here without knowing why, then the war will definitely start again, and then everyone will be devastated, and he... will be the sinner!

"Take Shibi Khan away quickly!"

Li Yuanfang gave a loud shout, and the sword's power changed drastically. Even if the killers cooperated perfectly, they would not be able to avoid being temporarily suppressed.

After hearing this, the Khan hugged his credentials tightly and waited for something important before turning around and running. However, before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by the guards around him.

"You..." Shibi Khan was shocked and looked at the guard with fear in his eyes. Are you a traitor?

This guard's bright eyes did not match his dirty face at all. He was obviously less than ten years old, but his eyes were full of maturity. Khan's originally anxious mood gradually calmed down, and he did not look like an enemy.

"In the desert, the wind is the father, the water is the mother, and the sand is just a child with a fierce appearance. Outsiders only know the ferocity of the yellow sand, but they don't know the viciousness of Feng Shui."

At the end of the day, Khan saw the guard chatting but not moving at all. He couldn't help but asked anxiously, "What on earth are you going to do?"

The guard took off a hard bow from behind and strung the arrow in the shape of a full moon. The tightness of the bow string shocked Shibi Khan. The soldier had no internal reaction and was simply pulling the string with his body strength.

.

Boom! The sharp arrow left the string but did not hit any of the killers. Instead, it was nailed directly into the yellow sand.

A line of blood spurted out from under the yellow sand, and in the blink of an eye there was already a pool of blood.

Shibi Khan took a deep breath subconsciously...

The guard covered Khan Shibi's mouth in time, put his finger up to his lips, then drew the arrow again, arrow after arrow, and lines of blood spurted out from under the yellow sand, one, two, three...

...Shibi Khan was horrified when he looked at the blood lines. He didn't expect that there were more than a dozen killers hidden around them!

"The sand in the desert moves with the wind, and any sand surface that is different from the wind direction is abnormal. Just like landlubbers don't know the nature of water, these people don't understand sand. A similar earth escape technique can be used in the jungle and grassland.

It’s mysterious, as for being in this desert, hehe..."

"Okay, after this calamity, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold. Quickly lead me out of the encirclement!" Shibi Khan felt relieved when he saw that this young man was so reliable.

Zuo Zhou's eyebrows were not relaxed at all. He glanced at Shibi Khan and said, "You are happy too early!"

On the other side, Li Yuanfang moved his sword like flying and suppressed all the killers for a while. As he jumped, he saw Shibi Khan and the soldier standing still, with a large circle of blood spraying around them.

"Let's go quickly!"

"We can't go. This place is still far away from the border army's station. We have no horses or water or food. The desert is open and unblocked. No matter how we run, we will be overtaken. There is no room for pulling. The only way is to kill.

them!"

Zuo Zhou reached out and pulled out the arrow in the sand, and drew the bow to full capacity again. Invisible pressure instantly fell on all the killers.

The battle situation changed in an instant, and Li Yuanfang's pressure suddenly decreased, and he felt that the combined attack technique that had been perfect just now had flaws.

There is a chance of winning!

There is a huge difference between a master of archery and a master of hidden weapons. It is also a long-range attack, and the arrows are powerful and heavy. Unless their skills are extremely different, the only way to avoid them is to avoid them.

Since hidden weapons have the word "dark", most of them adopt strange styles. Although they are often unexpected, there are relatively many strategies to deal with them. Identifying positions by listening to sounds, sensing Qi, or blocking or avoiding, for

For a true master, even a flying needle as thin as an ox's hair can only be dropped with a wave of his hand.

Because of this, archers are always more of a threat than masters of concealed weapons. However, the art of archery is easy to learn but difficult to master!

The assassins had no information in advance that there was such a good archer among the mission's guards, and it was too late until the pressure came.

When Li Yuanfang started fighting, the short knife in his hand flew out, directly nailing an unprepared killer to the ground through his chest. Then he pulled his arm back, and a slender chain was wrapped around the handle of the knife, spinning in an instant with this movement.

The other killers originally wanted to seize the opportunity to attack, but they heard the sound of a bow string cracking in their ears. They were shocked and had no time to turn around when the brains of a fellow killer next to them were splashed on their faces.

"Good archery skills!"

Li Yuanfang was overjoyed. Using a bow and arrow to shoot a headshot was not considered a skill. After all, most of the sharpshooters in the army could do it. But it was the only person in his military career who could shoot an arrow without relying on internal strength and penetrate the head.

"Kill the archers first!"

The two killers turned around and attacked Zuo Zhou. However, the perfect combined attack formation already killed two of them, but this division of troops completely liberated Li Yuanfang.

He held the short sword upside down and was so low that he couldn't see clearly what was happening under his feet. He just turned around a few times and arrived behind the two killers.

Blood splashed out and seeped into the sand. The two running killers had become four pieces, but Li Yuanfang still maintained the same posture as before, "Don't you understand, don't leave your back to the enemy!"

At the beginning, Khan was determined that with the protection of these two masters, this crisis would be over!

It is easy for this person to think blindly when his spirit is relaxed, even the high-ranking Khan is no exception. When Khan saw Li Yuanfang pounce on the killer again, he whispered in Zuo Zhou's ear: "Your Excellency has excellent archery skills, but you only protect him."

Being a small soldier in the team is really too humiliating."

Zuo Zhou fired his bow again, his eyes as sharp as an eagle's, but what he said was not as solemn and solemn as he said, "The next thing you are going to say, sir, is that good birds choose trees to roost on?"

At the beginning, Khan was stunned for a moment, as if he had discovered something bright again, "A good bird chooses a tree to roost! I didn't expect that you also come from a scholarly family."

This time, Zuo Zhou was a bit stuck. Although he has been in this world for sixteen years, there are still some things that he cannot get used to. For example, when you casually say an idiom, you will be regarded as a cultural person. Alas,

Universal education is indeed a great success!

After being interrupted like this, Zuo Zhou lost interest in chatting with him. After killing another killer with one arrow, he refused bluntly, "Shibi Khan, don't bother talking. To be honest, I grew up on the border between Qin and Turks."

, I know a lot about Turks, but I really can’t find any motive for becoming a Turk."

Shibi Khan felt a little awkward when he heard this. If it had been in the past, he would have asked his soldiers to pull him out of Aruba. But now the situation does not allow it, but he is still unwilling to accept it. "With a territory as big as our Turks, don't we have such a big territory?"

What attracts you to it?”

A trace of sadness flashed in Zuo Zhou's eyes, "I had a friend named Bi Xuan before. His talent, courage, and understanding were all unparalleled in the world! Originally, I thought that I only needed to hold on to this thigh tightly and I would be able to be popular and drink hot food for the rest of my life. Who knows?

I know...three years ago, he fell into a trap of horse thieves and had his head chopped off. Before he died, he didn't even leave me with any decent martial arts skills..."

When Shibi Khan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "So that's how it is. It's admirable for little brothers to value love and justice." After saying this, everyone made it clear that Turk was sad and didn't want to go, and he couldn't persuade him any more.

Of course, Zuo Zhou would not explain anything. He bent his bow and drew an arrow, and another killer was nailed to the ground. At this point, with the cooperation between him and Li Yuanfang, there were not many killers left who had a tacit cooperation.

"Who ordered you here? Tell me and I won't kill you!"

Li Yuanfang pointed at the three remaining killers, with murderous intent in his eyes, as if he expected them not to say anything.

For some people with dark psychology, the world is like a poisonous field. They are just poisonous insects in the field. Only those who can survive to the end are qualified to enjoy it. Therefore, they have no loyal beliefs and no loyal beliefs.

It's just the desire to survive.

Therefore, the three of them simply put down the steel knives in their hands, and even pulled down their masks sincerely.

However, before they could say anything, a figure emerged from the sand and cut their throats!

This sword is so fast! It's so fast that you can only feel the flash in front of your eyes, and your life has passed by. You don't even have time to breathe your last breath.

"Master!"

Li Yuanfang's whole body was tense at this moment, holding the chain in one hand and holding the knife in front of Zuo Zhou and Shibi Khan in the other hand.

Zuo Zhou looked over Li Yuanfang's shoulder. He looked at the other person up and down, but he was not too surprised. Although he had forgotten many details as time went by, he still remembered some general key figures.

It's just that...many years of experience also told him that those who dream of profiting from the plot will die miserably!

"Who is coming?"

A huge pressure was oppressing Li Yuanfang's nerves at all times. This was the strongest enemy he had ever seen in his life. This time, Li Yuanfang did not ask Zuo Zhou and Shibi Khan to leave. Although there was only one enemy left, but...

He was not sure of defeating the enemy. If he had Zuo Zhou's sharp arrows, he would have a better chance of victory.

"You are very good. I haven't encountered such an opponent for a long time."

Not to mention, this new enemy's voice is very nice, with a hint of mature magnetism, giving people a feeling of being aboveboard. Unfortunately, his behavior does not look like an aboveboard person.

"I'm asking you for your name. Why are you pretending to be so cool!"

Zuo Zhou nocked an arrow in his bow but did not draw it. He only looked alert, but he also had a deterrent effect.

The visitor was also dressed in black, and the only difference from the other killers was that he had a bronze mask on his face, "You can call me Viper."

"Viper?" Li Yuanfang had a solemn face and couldn't help repeating it again.

But I heard Zuo Zhou comforting me behind him, "Generally, most of these code names named after animals are for the convenience of memory. To be honest, they have no deterrent effect at all. I also know a person named Three-Headed Jiao, but in the end he is still a sidekick. Hmm.

, Of course, there are also some idiots who hide their own characteristics and unique skills in their names. You can’t be such an idiot, shouldn’t you have a poisonous snake hidden in your body, no way! No way!”

Viper: "..."

Li Yuanfang immediately became vigilant after being reminded. His eyes kept wandering around the viper's body. The large black robe did have a hint of the universe.

"Good archery skills, what a pity!"

Viper still had the tone of 'I admire you', but the murderous intent in his eyes could not deceive anyone, and what he responded to was Zuo Zhou's faintly raised strong bow and hard arrow.

The wind roared, Viper and Li Yuanfang shot at the same time, the two blades of light collided in the air, and then became fiercely intertwined.

Viper's sword is fast and tricky, which is in line with his name, and Li Yuanfang's sword skills are also different from ordinary ones. There is no domineering meaning that sword skills should have. There are almost no slashes in his moves, but only side attacks and horizontal cuts.
