Chapter 174: Decisive Battle (Part 2)
Many people know that the pipe pot in the hands of brothers Shi Donglai and Shi Xiqiu is a precious weapon.
But few people know that the everlasting ash in their pipe pot is actually a unique hidden weapon.
A sudden attack when approaching the enemy can not only disturb the line of sight, but also hurt the person's face, thus having the effect of taking the enemy by surprise and defeating him. It can be described as extremely destructive and vicious.
Such as this time.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been thrown into a panic by this sudden move, and anyone with a slower reaction would have been killed on the spot.
But Zhao Ya seemed to have expected it. The moment the soot hit his face, he suddenly turned sideways and avoided the blow. Then he raised his hand and threw several things.
Bang bang bang.
Lime bags exploded in the air, and gray fog directly enveloped the two Shi brothers.
But for the Five Realm warriors, this little trick is not enough.
"Little tricks!"
Shi Donglai waved his hand, and the surging wind from his palm blew away the gray mist.
But his face was still a little ugly.
Because he couldn't make a sneak attack, he was attacked by this junior with vile means such as lime powder.
This was a great shame for him.
Even though the two brothers dress up like old farmers, they actually have a very high self-esteem, not to mention being arrogant, but the ordinary five realms are not taken seriously by them at all.
After all, the two of them are siblings. In addition, they have practiced martial arts together since childhood, and they have been promoted to the five realms together.
Under this situation, they have already developed an extremely tacit cooperation. They are both on the same page with whomever they fight, and their strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary fifth-level warriors.
This is why Wang Tiancheng frowned when he saw them.
Because even in the capital of Great Yan, the two brothers are considered extremely difficult to deal with.
But now the two of them joined forces and were unable to do anything to defeat this junior.
Especially in front of Wei Hongbin.
This made both of them feel a little embarrassed.
"Junior, suffer death!"
Shi Donglai snorted coldly, stepped out, and slashed Zhao Ya's neck with the pipe rod in his hand like a sharp sword.
At the same time, Shi Xi went out in a roundabout way and attacked Zhao Ya from another angle.
The two sides attacked together and were about to kill Zhao Ya on the spot.
At this moment, a burly figure blocked Shi Xi's path, and then he saw Jin Zhenming grinning.
"Two immortals, who together must be over a hundred years old, team up to bully a young man. Is this the style of your masters in the capital?"
"Go away!" Shi Xiqi roared angrily without even looking at Jin Zhenming, and then clapped his hand.
Jin Zhenming did not retreat but advanced instead. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and his skin instantly turned bronze as he resisted the palm.
Boom!
It was like hitting a pure steel ingot, the sound was dull with a hint of metallic echo.
Jin Zhenming took a few steps back, his face flushed, a huge slap mark appeared on his arms, and he was trembling endlessly.
But even so, Jin Zhenming still showed no fear at all, and instead smiled.
"I thought you masters from Kyoto were just three-headed and six-armed, but now it seems like they are nothing more than that."
Shi Xiqu was also surprised.
Although the palm just came out just afterwards, it was not something that ordinary half-step five realms could resist.
And now he also felt that his palms were burning. It was obvious that this man's horizontal kung fu had reached an extremely advanced level.
He was blocked by Jin Zhenming.
On the other side, Shang Tiefeng and Zhao Ya were fighting together with Shi Donglai.
Although in terms of strength, Shang Tiefeng should be the weakest among them.
But when the two swords started to dance, even Shi Donglai had to be cautious.
Coupled with Zhao Ya's sword skills that suddenly came up and slashed from below in an instant, Shi Donglai was actually successfully held back.
For a time, the battle situation actually fell into a strange stalemate.
Shi Donglai was so angry that he roared repeatedly and even spoke his hometown dialect.
"Old man, why are you so lazy? Hurry up and kill this kid."
Shi Xi was also very frustrated.
Although this Jin Zhenming is only half-step to the fifth level, but his skills are too deep, and he has practiced horizontal training to an extremely abnormal level. Even Shi Xiqu, he can't do anything to him for a while.
At the same time, others were not idle either. Jiao Yousong, Shen Dao and others joined forces and began to attack Wei Hongbin's guards with all their strength.
Although he was surrounded by layers of protection, Wei Hongbin couldn't help but feel frightened when he looked at those warriors who looked like wolves and tigers, and he couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Two seniors, please eliminate these banditry as soon as possible. I will be very grateful after you succeed."
In Wei Hongbin's view, the reason why Shi Donglai and Shi Xiqiu failed to succeed was obviously to impose conditions on themselves.
Otherwise, how could they be held back by Zhao Ya, Shang Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming based on their strength?
After hearing Wei Hongbin's words, Shi Donglai and Shi Xilai became even more worried.
They looked at each other and stepped up their attacks in unison.
If they had only used 50% of their power before, they had used at least 70% now.
All of a sudden.
Zhao Ya, Jin Zhenming and others felt the pressure doubled.
The first person who couldn't hold on was Jin Zhenming.
He only relied on his profound skills to deal with Shi Xi until now, but this was already his limit.
After enduring Shi Xiqu's blow again, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and then the copper color on his body quickly faded, and his face turned pale.
Shi Xiqu sneered at this, "I really thought you were indestructible."
He swung the pipe in his hand and smashed it.
Jin Zhenming turned around and ran without hesitation.
Before coming, Zhao Ya told them clearly that if they really encountered an unsolvable situation, they should save themselves first.
Because compared with their own lives, whether they could kill Wei Hongbin was irrelevant.
Jin Zhenming implemented this point very well. At this time, he could not hold on, so he withdrew from the battle group without hesitation.
Shi Xiqu did not chase him.
The most important thing now was to kill Zhao Ya first, and then talk about other things.
So he rushed directly to Shi Donglai.
At this time, Shang Tiefeng was also under great pressure.
Although he and Zhao Ya fought Shi Donglai together, the difference in realm gradually emerged as time went by.
Especially after Shi Donglai made up his mind to use all his strength, Shang Tiefeng could only defend himself and had no power to fight back.
"Master Shang, you retreat first!"
After slashing horizontally with a knife to help Shang Tiefeng out of a dangerous situation, Zhao Ya shouted in a deep voice.
Shang Tiefeng did not hesitate.
Because he felt that if he continued to fight, he would not only fail to help Zhao Ya, but would become a great burden to him.
So he just replied, "Be careful."
Then he took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle group.
At the same time, Shi Xiqu also arrived.
The two brothers joined forces to surround Zhao Ya.
"Baby, die!" Shi Donglai was very excited and said viciously, and then joined forces with his brothers to attack.
The battle just now made Shi Donglai doubt his life.
This young man who was only 20 years old and had achieved the half-step fifth realm was simply terrifyingly strong.
Whether it was swordsmanship, even the speed of body movement and the power of fists and feet were not inferior to ordinary fifth-realm warriors.
Shi Donglai even suspected that if he was alone today, he might not be able to defeat this kid.
And this also made Shi Donglai's killing intention against Zhao Ya even stronger.
In time, even in a few years, he will grow into a serious threat.
Shi Xiqu naturally had the same idea.
The two pipes met in the air, blocking all of Zhao Ya's retreat routes.
But at this critical moment, Zhao Ya suddenly bent down and flew out sideways at a weird angle.
In this way, Zhao Ya actually managed to escape from the encirclement of the Shi brothers.
This wonderful response also made Wang Tiancheng, who was watching from a distance, brighten his eyes.
"What a handsome body movement."
Xu Nianran also nodded and said, "It's really good."
Even Gu Chaoyue, who disliked Zhao Ya, had to nod secretly at this time to admit that Zhao Ya's light skill was indeed at the peak of perfection.
But just when everyone thought that Zhao Ya would leave the battle group, they didn't expect that Zhao Ya didn't leave. Instead, he stood not far away, looking at the Shi brothers with a smile.
The Shi brothers were already full of depression and had nowhere to vent. Seeing that Zhao Ya didn't leave after escaping, but stood there, as if waiting for them, they couldn't help but get even more angry.
"Arrogant young man."
Shi Donglai shouted, and then rushed towards Zhao Ya from two directions with Shi Xiqu, one on the left and one on the right.
Zhao Ya didn't fight back, but fought with them with his exquisite light skills.
The Shi brothers felt like they were trying to catch a loach that fell into an oil tank, and they had no idea where to start.
At this time, Jin Zhenming, who had retreated to a distance, swallowed a few pieces of dried meat, and then asked with a gasp.
"Old Shang, what is Xiao Ya doing?"
"I don't know either." Shang Tiefeng was also a little confused.
Anyone could see that Zhao Ya had no chance of winning at this moment, so what was he waiting for by fighting with the two of them with his light-hearted body skills?
At this moment, Shi Donglai, who was originally full of vigor, suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and then the originally smooth blood circulation was slightly disturbed.
Although it was very slight, it still made his movements slightly sluggish.
This change was very slight, and ordinary people might not be able to catch it at all.
But Zhao Ya was different.
The reason why he insisted on not leaving was waiting for this opportunity.
Everything started with those lime bags.
As early as when preparing for the battle, Zhao Ya thought about how he would respond if the reinforcements Wei Hongbin brought from the capital arrived.
The answer is that he can only attack in a roundabout way, and it is difficult to win by a frontal attack.
The only thing in Zhao Ya's hand that can pose a threat to the fifth-level warriors is the powder prepared by Yuan Chenfeng's poison.
But Zhao Ya also knew that if it was really a fifth-level warrior from the capital, it would be difficult for him to poison the opponent without him sensing it.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ya had an idea, so he put the powder into the lime bag.
Although at Zhao Ya's level, the lime bag was basically useless.
It was even more unrealistic to use it to deal with the fifth-level warrior.
But the less people care about something, the more likely it is to succeed.
Presumably, the fifth-level warrior would sneer at him after seeing him throw out the lime bag, thinking that it was all some despicable means, so he neglected to guard against it.
And his chance was here.
Sure enough.
When the Shi brothers saw the lime bag they threw, they didn't take it seriously at all and casually waved it away with the wind of their palms.
It was at that time that they became contaminated with the medicinal powder carefully prepared by Zhao Ya.
But Zhao Ya didn't know whether this would be useful to fifth realm warriors.
In fact, if Shi Donglai and Shi Xiqi still didn't respond at all after half a cup of tea, Zhao Ya would decide to give up.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, the medicine took effect, and Shi Donglai was the first to be hit.
Zhao Ya's sword skills had reached the point where he could read and receive from his heart. After noticing Shi Donglai's subtle flaw, the light of the sword came out.
Everyone only saw a flash of sword light, and then heard a pop.
A large gash was opened in Shi Donglai's chest, and the tip of the knife left a red mark on his skin. The deepest part of the skin had been broken open, and traces of blood seeped out.
This knife shocked everyone.
No one expected that Zhao Ya, who was only half a step into the fifth realm, could actually challenge two five realm masters one on two without falling behind. He even hit one of them with a backhand, injuring one of them.
If no one had witnessed this with their own eyes, no one would believe it to be true.
Jin Zhenming even uttered a curse word.
"Damn it, Xiaoya is awesome."
In the eyes of these people with amazement and astonishment, Shi Donglai was ashen-green, his eyelids were beating wildly, and the murderous intent in his heart was overflowing.
"Poison?" He stared at Zhao Ya and asked coldly.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "That's right."
In fact, Zhao Ya felt a little regretful in his heart. There was a flaw in Shi Xigu just now, but he had no choice but to deal with one first, thus missing a good opportunity.
But this is not bad. Although it failed to kill Shi Donglai, it might be considered good to hurt him.
At least it boosted the morale here, so it wasn't completely in vain.
He quietly made a retreat gesture towards Jin Zhenming, Shang Tiefeng and others, and at the same time moved his steps, waiting to leave.
Zhao Ya didn't think the poison he prepared would last long.
Especially for fifth-level warriors, the turbid and evil energy in the body has been emptied, and the acquired body is almost perfect. Even if they are poisoned, they can recover quickly.
But as soon as he moved, Shi Donglai and Shi Xiqi blocked all his escape routes one after another.
At the same time, the two of them raised their hands, slowly unscrewed the pipe pot in their hands, and then turned the pipe rod.
There was a "bang" sound from the spring, and a snow-white dagger appeared at the end of the pipe rod.
In the blink of an eye, a pipe turned into a strange weapon with a pointed head.
"Junior, if you can force us to use such methods, you will be honored even if you die." Shi Donglai said sadly.
Zhao Ya just smiled slightly, "Really? But I never think there is any glory in death. Farewell!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ya jumped up and rushed out like an arrow from a string.
Shi Donglai and Shi Xiqiu followed closely behind, and also flew up to catch up.
At this time, Zhao Ya shouted in the air, "Wear a hidden weapon."
As he said that, several black shadows flew towards the two Shi brothers.
The two of them were shocked.
After the last poisoning incident, they no longer dared to be careless and hurriedly dodge, but with this delay, Zhao Ya had already rushed far away.
At this time, the two Shi brothers discovered that the black shadow that hit them was a hidden weapon, just a few pieces of gravel, and they couldn't help but be furious.
"Junior, how dare you!"
As he spoke, Shi Donglai raised his hand, and a ray of golden light hit Zhao Ya's back so fast that it even stirred up an invisible wave in the air.
"Xiaoya, be careful!"
Shang Tiefeng, who was also planning to retreat, couldn't help shouting when he saw this.
At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly turned sideways in the air and barely dodged the blow.
The golden light struck an arrow tower in front, and with a loud bang, a big hole was opened in the arrow tower.
Only then did people see clearly that the golden light turned out to be the dismantled pipe pot.
Because of this delay, the Shi brothers had already rushed forward and surrounded Zhao Ya again.
There was nothing more to say at this time, so the two of them waved their weapons and struck down the killer.
In an instant, Zhao Ya was swaying from left to right, and was surrounded by dangers.
Upon seeing this, Jin Zhenming and Shang Tiefeng secretly gritted their teeth and were about to rush to support.
At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly came from the street in the distance.
"Xiao Ya, step back and let me meet with the so-called masters from this capital!"
Following the words, a figure was seen crossing the night sky at an extremely fast speed, rushing towards the government office.
