Martial Arts Crossover: Something's Wrong with This Evil Sect

Chapter 108 I Count to 3

He listened to the foul language coming from the black-clad archers and others around him.

"You're shameless..."

Qiu Moyan started cursing at Cao Shaoqin.

As for why he didn't bite his tongue to commit suicide, anyone with a little common sense in the martial arts world knows that under normal circumstances, biting your tongue won't kill you; it will only make you suffer.

Looking at the furious Qiu Moyan in front of him, Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The thought of Zhou Huai'an, this selfish and hypocritical man, choosing between this woman and the military seal, was quite intriguing to him.

"Dude, what you're doing is really weird."

Qian Wucai, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said to Cao Shaoqin.

"Humph!"

Cao Shaoqin glanced at Qian Wucai but ignored him completely. How could a guy who was obsessed with money understand the ingenuity of his plan?

He then instructed his men, "Pass down the order to advance towards Longmen Pass and meet up with the chief. Since Zhou Huai'an wasn't with them, he must have escaped to Longmen Pass alone!"

Do these people really think he's stupid? It's just a cat-and-mouse game, a game he's playing with them. Why are they taking it so seriously? Besides leaving the pass, does Zhou Huai'an have anywhere else to stay in the Ming Dynasty?

........

"Young Master, why didn't we make a move just now? Don't you admire Qiu Moyan quite a bit?"

Xia Xueyi asked, puzzled. After all, Qiu Moyan's invitation to the group to enter the secret passage was a big plus, and there weren't many people like that in the martial arts world.

"No rush, Zhou Huai'an's reinforcements should be arriving soon. We need to strike last to truly make it a surprise attack!"

At this point, Shan Tianxie paused, then looked up at the sky and said calmly,

"Besides, Qiu Moyan still has hope for Zhou Huai'an. Such a person will not die until the very last moment. Let her suffer a little. With more experience, she will be able to distinguish right from wrong."

"I see, young master is brilliant!"

Although Xia Xueyi didn't quite understand, she still cooperated by saying that no one knew better than him how to manage upwards.

"But young master, Zhou Huai'an hasn't already come out of seclusion, has he?"

"No, the secret passage that Jin Xiangyu mentioned was dug under Hu Yidao's orders. I had already instructed Hu Yidao to guard the entrance of that secret passage at all costs. Without my orders, not even a bird could fly out."

Dan Tianxie said confidently that taking down Hu Yidao was just a casual move at the time, but unexpectedly it turned into a decisive move.

Now it all depends on whether Zhou Huai'an's helpers are up to par and whether they are indeed the dashing and romantic Little Flying Dagger - Li Xunhuan!

"Let's go, we'll follow Cao Shaoqin and wait for the crucial moment to make our move!"

..........

Zhou Huai'an was also in a bad situation at the moment. He had originally planned to leave the pass through the secret passage of Jin Xiangyu.

After all, wandering aimlessly in this vast desert is tantamount to courting death.

Before they even reached the entrance to the secret passage, they spotted people from the Eastern Depot patrolling near Longmen Pass.

The leader was none other than Tou Xiaotian, a high-ranking official from the Eastern Depot!

Pi Xiaotian is already a mid-stage Innate Realm expert, and with his superb archery skills, he is considered one of the more troublesome Innate Realm experts.

It is rumored that he personally trained the fearsome black-clad archer squad of the Eastern Depot.

When Zhou Huai'an fled the capital, he had already heard rumors that Cao Zhengchun valued him highly.

If it weren't for his advanced age and already fixed aptitude, I might have already taken him in as my godson.

Such a master would not stand a chance in a one-on-one fight, let alone with two other burdens on his shoulders.

So Zhou Huai'an planned to sneak away before Pi Xiaotian noticed and then seek further schemes!

At that moment, Pi Xiaotian, who was in the distance, suddenly glanced at this place.

"Ok?"

I could vaguely see three figures, one large and two small, moving around, but the view was obstructed by the swirling yellow sand.

Pi Xiaotian rubbed his eyes, narrowed them slightly, and only after a moment could he make out the figure's appearance.

"Zhou Huai'an?!"

Pi Xiaotian, being an archer, had excellent eyesight and instantly recognized the man as the wanted criminal Zhou Huai'an.

"It seems the young commander didn't run into this person. This person is quite lucky, but unfortunately he ran into me, Pi Xiaotian!"

"I can't refuse this opportunity to earn credit; I'll gladly accept it!"

Then Pi Xiaotian quietly drew his bow and shot an arrow. As a seasoned archer, he naturally had to shoot arrows in secret.

That's why there's an old saying, "A hidden arrow can hurt someone," which means that an open arrow can't hurt anyone!

Then, nine sharp arrows appeared on a bow, his unique skill: shooting down nine suns with one arrow!

With a whoosh!

Nine sharp arrows streaked across the sky like meteors, shooting towards Zhou Huai'an's vital points.

Zhou Huai'an was quietly retreating when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound in his ear, and he immediately realized what was happening.

"Oops, I was discovered!"

With a clang, he drew his umbrella sword and slashed at the nine arrows, attempting to block them all.

However, Pi Xiaotian's unique skills are not so easy to block.

Clang clang clang! Zhou Huai'an used all his strength to barely block eight arrows, but unfortunately he failed to block one of them!

"what!"

Zhou Huai'an cried out in pain, clutching his right foot in agony.

"Hmph, utterly pathetic. How could someone like this become the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards?"

Pi Xiaotian's face flashed with a hint of pride after wounding Zhou Huai'an with an arrow.

Is that all? Did he and the young governor really need to get involved?

He completely controlled Zhou Huai'an this week.

I remembered the commander's last instructions: to keep him alive so we could interrogate him about the whereabouts of the military tally.

Pi Xiaotian then put down his longbow and said with a slightly mocking smile, "Let's go see this former Imperial Guard instructor!"

At his command, a hundred black-clad archers galloped away and quickly surrounded Zhou Huai'an.

Zhou Huai'an looked at the hundreds of black-clad archers in front of him with a very solemn expression. He thought to himself, "It's all over. My life is over now. This reinforcement is too unreliable!"

"Zhou Huai'an? You've finally fallen into the hands of our Eastern Depot!"

"Hand over the military tally obediently, and I'll put in a good word for you with the Commander-in-Chief. You'll still enjoy your wealth and honor. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"

"What a fool you are! Lord Yang has been incredibly kind to me, entrusting me with the weighty responsibility of the military tally! How could I possibly hand it over to a bunch of scoundrels like you!"

"Ok?"

Pi Xiaotian's face darkened. "With your meager martial arts skills, you still dare to act like a hero in front of me? The Grand Eunuch said he wanted you alive, but that only applies if you are alive!"

"Fine! Very well, I'll see if your bones are harder than your mouth!"

As he spoke, he slowly drew his longbow, pulled it to its full extent, and aimed it at Zhou Huai'an's limbs.

"Beg me right now! Otherwise, I'll shoot off all four of your limbs and make you a cripple for the rest of your life!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai'an's expression changed drastically. He was torn between his conscience and his conscience. If he were to beg for mercy, the image he had built up over decades would be ruined!

But if I don't beg for mercy, I'll become a cripple, which would be worse than death!

"I'll enter three numbers!"

Pi Xiaotian didn't give Zhou Huai'an much time to consider, and said coldly.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"
