Chapter 96 I laugh at Liu Qingci's lack of strategy and Xu Qingya's lack of wisdom...
"Lay down your weapons and surrender, or you will be spared!"
"Lay down your weapons and surrender, or you will be spared!"
"Lay down your weapons and surrender, or you will be spared!"
Liu Qingci blasted the Golden-Armed Boy away with one spear thrust and killed Du Tiandao and his son with two. His blood and qi surged like a dragon, and his killing intent soared to the sky. He rode his horse and brandished his spear, and no one could stop him wherever he went.
Liu Qingci was skilled in mounted combat, using a spear, and practiced the spear techniques of Ma Chao, the legendary general of Xiliang, who charged into battle.
The claim that Jinbi Tong could sweep through an army is an exaggeration, but Liu Qingci truly could break through an army single-handedly; she could tear a hole in the most tightly packed military formation.
When Liu Dinghuan launched the palace coup, Liu Qingci gave her his greatest support, leading his cavalry to break through the imperial guards' formation and breach the palace walls.
Iron cavalry charge, crushing the enemy ranks!
One shot takes a life; one man can take on a thousand!
In this world, only I reign supreme!
With spear in hand and horse at the ready, I survey the eight wastelands!
Liu Qingci's charge was not powerful, but rather possessed a ferocity and violence that was difficult to describe in words, like a tank crashing down on a mountain.
Zhuge Zhengwo once commented: "Facing a single-character-level Wang Chongfeng head-on, one feels as if the ferocious beast recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas has come to life, and one would never dare to directly confront its sharp edge."
Even Zhuge Zhengwo had such an assessment, so how could the lackeys of Seven Kill Valley and Broken Soul Valley dare to put up a stubborn resistance? Weapons fell to the ground with a clatter, and a large number of them knelt down.
A pawn can surrender, but a leader absolutely cannot.
Not only is the leader incompetent, but the managers are equally incompetent.
Silver Spear, Yang Huyun, Steward Du, Mr. Wuwei and others fought bravely, but with Beitang Xin'er and the Eighteen Swordsmen of Green Robes guarding the outside and Liu Qingci charging on horseback with a spear inside, they could not use even 30% of their skills.
Seeing more and more henchmen surrendering, Liu Qingci put away his spear, nocked an arrow, and aimed at Shi Guoqing, the third leader of the Invincible Young Master and "the abandoned disciple of Kunlun".
The term "abandoned disciple" is extremely unfair to Shi Guoqing, because he is not only not an abandoned disciple, but also the most outstanding disciple of the younger generation of the Kunlun School, whose swordsmanship is superb and far surpasses that of the sect leader He Taichong.
At that time, Shi Guoqing was the number one genius disciple of Kunlun, enjoying immense prestige. However, Shi Guoqing soon discovered that he would always be a "disciple." He didn't want to be a disciple; he wanted to become the "master".
Unfortunately, the Kunlun Sect is different from those ruthless sects in the Central Plains. Located on the treacherous peaks of Kunlun, it is surrounded by a desolate wilderness for hundreds of miles, and there is no competitive pressure.
The main responsibility of the Kunlun Sect Leader is management. Kunlun disciples mainly practice lightness skills and sword formations. Whether the Sect Leader himself is particularly good at fighting is not important to the Kunlun Sect. Among the seven major sword sects in the Jianghu, the Kunlun Sect Leader has the worst martial arts skills.
Shi Guoqing's swordsmanship is very powerful, but he can only defeat He Taichong and fight to a draw with the combined sword formation of He Taichong and Ban Shuxian. He cannot defeat the Chaos Sword Formation, let alone the Great Zhou Tian Sword Formation composed of hundreds of disciples.
As long as He Taichong is alive, Shi Guoqing will never become the leader of Kunlun Sect. He Taichong is in his prime, and Kunlun Sect has no shortage of rare and precious materials. He can eat all kinds of tonics as food and live to be a hundred years old without any problem.
By the time He Taichong died of old age, Shi Guoqing was also very old, having spent his entire life confined to Kunlun Mountain.
Shi Guoqing was unwilling to live such a life. He defeated He Taichong in the sect competition, then fought his way out of the Kunlun Sect and joined the Invincible Young Master, hoping to become the leader of the Kunlun Sect with the help of the Invincible Young Master.
It can't be said that Shi Guoqing chose the wrong sect. Which of the other six of the seven major sword sects doesn't have a grandmaster in his prime, with a lifespan of at least thirty years? Which sect doesn't have requirements for temperament? Given Shi Guoqing's personality, only the Hainan sword sect, which is good at taking unconventional approaches, is suitable for him!
It's obviously too late to say all this now.
Liu Qingci nocked an arrow and the wolf-tooth arrow flashed with a terrifying light as three arrows flew towards him.
A rapid-fire barrage of arrows!
Shi Guoqing disregarded everything and unleashed the Kunlun School's Flying Dragon Nine Forms. His sword light formed a curtain of light, and he stepped on the Dragon Soaring Eight Forms body technique, splitting his body into three.
Shi Guoqing's reaction was undeniably swift, and his swordsmanship undeniably superb, but—when Shi Guoqing looked down, an arrow pierced his chest, and his strength dissipated from his body like a tidal wave, causing his precious sword to fall from his hand.
"I—I am—Kunlun—"
Liu Qingci didn't even glance at Shi Guoqing before nocking his bow and arrow again, this time targeting Mr. Wuwei.
Mr. Wuwei was horrified. He felt as if the judge of the underworld was holding a judge's pen and scribbling on the Book of Life and Death. The moment the arrow fell, he crossed out his name!
No one could stop Liu Qingci's arrows.
Mr. Wuwei leaped up and hid behind a boulder. Just as he caught his breath, a deep, bone-chilling pain shot through his head. A wolf-tooth arrow was launched high into the air, falling straight into the top of his head.
"Clatter!"
Mr. Wuwei tilted his head to the side, and the corpse fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked to see this. They thought to themselves that she was indeed the devil in the capital. They had thought that the title of "Number One Archer in the World" was due to the blessing of royal blood, and that no one dared to compete with the prince, which was why she was ranked first.
It now seems that, in terms of battlefield lethality, Liu Qingci is superior to Xu Qingya. If they were to clash on the battlefield, Xu Qingya, who specializes in the Spring and Autumn Blade Technique, might be brutally defeated by Liu Qingci's archery skills and would have no choice but to dismount and fight on foot.
With a Qilin bow in one hand and a wolf-tooth arrow in the other, he would snipe targets on the battlefield. Whoever his eyes fell upon, he would send them to their deaths with three consecutive arrows. No matter how skilled a fighter was, once Liu Qingci's arrows were aimed at him, he was always at risk of dying.
The archer is absolutely stunning!
"Bang!"
The bowstring twanged, and the steward of Tiandao Manor collapsed to the ground!
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Two arrows were fired simultaneously, one hitting the heart and the other the throat of the two elders of Tiandao Manor. The elder, who was holding a slingshot and silver bullets, still had a look of defiance on his face until his death, his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.
"Let's see who's next!"
Liu Qingci wanted to find a target, but suddenly realized that he had no target to snipe. Silver Spear was being ganged up on by Li Qingming and Leng Feng, Yang Huyun was being blocked by Beitang Xin'er, so it was inconvenient for Liu Qingci to steal the kill. Golden Arm Boy and Invincible Young Master took advantage of the chaos to break through along the original route.
Having been bandits for so many years, the two easily assessed the situation. There were ambushes both in front and behind. The ambushes outside Ghost Cry Ridge seemed to be fewer, but the outside was a wide and well-lit road. With Liu Qingci riding the Jade Lion that could travel a thousand miles a day, the two of them had no chance of escape.
The most likely scenario is that the two of them, having just broken through the Tiger Might Escort Agency's encirclement, immediately become Liu Qingci's sitting ducks and are sniped by a barrage of arrows.
On the contrary, if they escaped from Ghost Cry Ridge, it would seem more difficult, but in reality, they could take refuge in the towering mountains and steep peaks. As long as they hid in the deep forests, even if the three thousand imperial guards searched the mountains, they could still escape.
The two were lucky; the Imperial Guards brought by Liu Qingci didn't have many experts, and the two successfully escaped. They fled along Ghost Cry Ridge and soon arrived at Soul-Snatching Peak. Looking at the rugged rocks around them, the two were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Golden-Armed Boy had seven or eight wounds on his body. Although they were superficial wounds and did not damage his bones, he was covered in blood. The Invincible Young Master dragged him along, his white robe stained with blood. His so-called fastidiousness was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
"Cleanliness obsession" is the signature of the invincible young master, and also a "weakness" he deliberately exposes. If the enemy uses this to attack, he can turn the tables on them.
The two defeated many powerful enemies by using their brotherhood and fabricating weaknesses, but this time they were not facing martial arts heroes, but the imperial guards. Liu Qingci used a trick to lure them away from the mountain, and they fled in panic.
"Hahahahaha————"
The golden-armed boy crossed his arms and laughed heartily, looking up at the sky!
The Invincible Young Master gave a wry smile: "Stop laughing! Be careful not to attract enemies. Why are you laughing, brother?"
The golden-armed boy laughed and gestured wildly: "I laugh at Liu Qingci for his lack of strategy and Xu Qingya for his lack of wisdom. They only arranged an ambush on one route. If they had arranged an ambush here, we would both be dead for sure. Of course, I have to laugh at them!"
Before the laughter had subsided, a burst of loud gongs and drums sounded from both sides. Three hundred imperial guards drew their bows and blocked the two men's retreat. There were two generals leading the charge.
A man stood tall and imposing, with a pair of eyes that shone like cold stars, and eyebrows as dark as if painted with lacquer. He resembled a lion descending from the clouds, or a mythical beast shaking the earth.
This person is named Zhong Yuan. He is a disciple of Elder Zhiqing of Daxiangguo Temple. He is proficient in the "Tiger Subduing Divine Skill" and has the power to subdue dragons and tigers. He is skilled in fist and sword techniques.
A man clad in heavy armor, wielding a halberd, was clearly a fierce general from the military. Every gesture he made exuded a strong military aura. It was none other than Dou Tiande, who had joined forces with Xu Qingya to suppress bandits in Jiangling.
After the Battle of Jiangling, Xu Qingya transferred Dou Tiande to the Imperial Guard and made him the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Xu Qingya has no experience in commanding troops, and Liu Qingci only knows how to lead troops in a fierce charge. When the three thousand imperial guards go out, there will definitely be a deputy general to manage them. Dou Tiande and Zhong Yuan are talents carefully selected by Xu Qingya, so they are more reliable to use.
Zhong Yuan roared, "Invincible Young Master! Look where you are! Today, beneath Soul-Snatching Peak, I will kill you, the Valley Master of Soul-Severing Valley! Prepare to die!"
"Roar~~"
With a tiger's roar, Zhong Yuan's clothes were shattered by his true energy, revealing his solid muscles. He gathered the power of the Tiger God in his fists and slammed them towards the Invincible Young Master.
Logically speaking, Chung Won and Kim Arm Boy are both top competitors in the same field, so they should be pitted against each other.
However, this is a bandit suppression operation, not a martial arts contest.
The Invincible Young Master is exceptionally intelligent and possesses superb lightness skills. He will definitely deal with the lightness skill master first. The Golden-Armed Child's lightness skills are really not that great. How many miles can he run?
Dou Tiande shouted, "Invincible Young Master, let's see if your invincibility is just empty boasting!"
Before he finished speaking, the halberd slashed horizontally and vertically, and ten crescent-shaped halberd shadows slashed towards the Invincible Young Master.
The Invincible Young Master suffered repeated setbacks today, being outmaneuvered on various levels. He was burning with rage, and now, provoked by the two, he could no longer contain his anger.
"Damn it, prepare to die!"
The Invincible Young Master unleashed a torrent of palm force with both hands.
In terms of skill, even if Zhong Yuan and Dou Tiande joined forces, they would not be a match for the Invincible Young Master. The Invincible Young Master was exceptionally talented in Qi cultivation and possessed extremely profound skill.
In the original storyline, Zhui Ming led several masters to besiege Wudi Gongzi. Both sides fought to the death, and in the end, only three people from Zhui Ming's side survived. Zhui Ming's legs were broken by Wudi Gongzi, which shows how fierce the battle was.
If your skill level is insufficient, compensate with your blood and energy.
Zhong Yuan and Dou Tiande are both masters of body training, possessing the power to subdue tigers, and their fighting spirit is unstoppable. Dealing with the Invincible Young Master, who is easily frightened, is not particularly difficult for them.
The Invincible Young Master roared, "Golden-Armed Child, their target is me! You fucking run!"
The golden-armed boy ran away without looking back.
It wasn't about being afraid of death or abandoning brothers; it was about saving as many as possible under these circumstances.
Zhong Yuan and Dou Tiande did not stop him, letting the Golden-Armed Boy escape. The two commanded the Imperial Guards to form a battle formation and attack. The Invincible Young Master charged left and right, unleashing his true energy, but in the end, he could not withstand the powerful bows and crossbows, the Tiger-Taming Divine Strength, and the Imperial Guards' battle formation.
After a short while, the Invincible Young Master was struck by Dou Tiande's halberd. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhong Yuan grabbed his waist and slammed him to the ground.
The Imperial Guards seized the opportunity to unleash a volley of arrows, raining down like a storm. The arrows fell in three volleys, with bows and crossbows firing in unison, until the men were riddled with arrows.
Invincible Prince, die!
Zhong Yuan couldn't help but complain, "The Imperial Guards really need to work on their archery! What kind of lousy archery is this? It took hundreds of arrows to kill someone! Go back and practice more!"
Dou Tiande added, "What are you looking at? Come over and clean up the battlefield; these arrows are still usable!"
As the Imperial Guards went to clean up the battlefield, Zhong Yuan tugged at Dou Tiande's sleeve: "Brother Dou, do you think that Golden-Armed Boy escaped? How do we catch him?"
Dou Tiande shrugged: "Brother Zhong, let me teach you a lesson. Remember this well: no one can escape from Lord Xu unless Lord Xu deliberately lets this guy get away. Golden-Armed Boy, he can't escape!"
Zhong Yuan asked, "How will you track him? Could it be that Lord Xu is skilled in tracking techniques, like the one used to pursue life?"
Dou Tiande laughed, "Tracking technique? Let's call it that for now! I remember you're from the capital, haven't you heard that Lord Xu has a spirit dog?"
Zhong Yuan explained: "I am from Yanggu County. After mastering my skills, I joined the border army and made some military achievements. Later, I was transferred to the Imperial Guard and arrived in the capital in less than half a month."
Dou Tiande exclaimed in surprise, "Border troops? Meritorious service? Brother, you are truly capable! We should have a big toast!"
There is a difference between military merits and military achievements.
Generally speaking, making meritorious contributions on the border is far more valuable than suppressing bandits and outlaws. This has nothing to do with official rank; no matter how high the rank, everyone wants to strive for the great merit of pacifying the border.
The golden-armed boy fled in a sorry state.
With no Imperial Guards pursuing them, the Invincible Young Master single-handedly held off three hundred Imperial Guards, giving Golden-Armed Boy a chance to escape. Golden-Armed Boy had to get out.
Golden-Armed Boy vowed that he would remember the faces of all his enemies and seek revenge in the future!
-
Ghost Cry Ridge has three peaks, three ridges, and three cliffs, from east to west: Broken Arm Cliff, Soul-Snatching Peak, and Crouching Tiger Ridge!
The ambush site was at Fuhugang, and the second ambush site was at Duohunfeng. At this moment, the precipitous cliff where Jinbitong was resting was called "Duanbi Cliff".
Most valleys are embraced by two mountains, like two arms holding the valley in their arms. However, Ghost Cry Ridge is unique in that it has only one arm, as if it has been cut off. In addition, Ghost Cry Ridge has a treacherous terrain, which is suitable for ambushing enemies and often leads to bloody battles. Therefore, it is called Broken Arm Cliff!
"Hahaha! Hahahaha—I've escaped! I've escaped! Liu Qingci, Beitang Xin'er, Li Qingming—you wait, once I recover, I will definitely kill you!"

"No one can kill the Golden-Armed Child!"
"Broken Arm Cliff! What a joke! Golden-Armed Boy can't be killed by anyone! I will definitely get my revenge!"
The golden-armed boy roared and screamed wildly.
After a series of crushing defeats, Jinbitong was only one step away from going insane. Just a little bit more and he would be driven crazy. Jinbitong muttered to himself, using a continuous stream of insults to relieve his inner frustration and depression.
"Liu Qingci, Xu Qingya, you two arrogant idiots, how come you only ambushed me twice? If you do it again, I won't be able to hold out!"
"Damn it! I'm alive!"
"Go ahead and ambush me if you dare!"
"Xu Qingya, get out here! Get out here! Come out and kill me! Come and kill me!"
Panic, fear, frustration, depression, murderous intent, anger, and dread—countless negative emotions raged through Jinbi Tong's mind. At this moment, even seeing a dog would make Jinbi Tong feel like he was being ambushed.
What the hell!
There really is a dog in the woods!
A yellow dog lay quietly on a large rock.
A man sat beside the yellow dog, a handsome young man with a gentle and refined demeanor, who was quietly staring at him. The golden-armed boy subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
The handsome young man laughed, "Golden-Armed Boy, you've been cursing me for so long, don't you know who I am? Didn't you want to see me? I've come to you of my own accord!"
Xu Qingya floated down from the large rock.
"I practice the Spring and Autumn Period Sword Technique!"
"Unfortunately, this isn't Huarong Road!"
"Golden-Armed Child, today is your death day!"
