The remaining scouts all had their eyes widened and their mouths slightly opened, as if they had seen a ghost.

The next moment, they screamed, whipped their horses like crazy, and ran away, ignoring the bodies of their companions and leaving only a trail of smoke.

"Good bow...good archery skills..."

Sanazi stared blankly at Qingden, who was still raising his bow, and kept murmuring.

Archery was one of Sanako's compulsory courses.

Although he is not proficient in this technique, his level can be said to be remarkable.

Therefore, she naturally understood how amazing Qingden Shicai's rapid fire was!

Sitting on the back of an unstable ox, without aiming, he just put an arrow on the bow, raised his hand and shot, hitting the center of the human body between the eyebrows more than thirty meters away... There is no doubt that this is a master's skill!

The last time Sanako saw Aoto show off his archery skills was when he faced the elite troops of the Qingshui clan during the pursuit of Genfusei.

In less than 2 years, Qingdeng’s archery level has made a huge leap forward!

In addition, the bow he used was also extraordinary.

Qingdeng did not fully draw the bow just now, but only pulled the bow string halfway - just like that, the arrow easily flew over a distance of more than thirty meters and penetrated the hard skull effortlessly! Take a closer look,

The arrow shaft is not even halfway in!

Sanako has always admired the strong.

Qingdeng's superb bow skills made his eyes flicker, and his beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.

Driven by curiosity, she couldn't help but asked:

"Tachibana-kun, where did you learn your bow skills?"

Facing Sanako's expectant gaze, Qingden couldn't help but smile.

Qingdeng could even imagine what kind of conversation would take place after he told the truth——

My archery master is Tenjōin Atsuhime. What? Which Tenzōin Atsuhime is you asking me? Is there another Tenzōin Atsuhime in this country?

Even if he told the truth, Sanazi would probably not believe it. He just felt that Qingden was crazy about women. After threatening to marry three wives, he now coveted a widow.

All in all, now is not the best time to make the special relationship between himself and Tianzhang Academy public.

So, he replied half-truthfully:

"One day, when I was relaxing in a certain shrine, I suddenly met a big tengu. The big tengu was very good at arching and was also very enthusiastic. She saw that I didn't know how to bow, so she dragged me.

Taught me all her skills."

As Qingto finished speaking, Sanako's expression changed significantly - her forehead was covered with black lines, and her eyes looked like she had seen something bad and dirty.

"Daitengu... do you think you are Minamoto Yoshitsune?"

Genkuro Yoshitsune and the Great Tengu - that is, the famous Japanese allusion: "Ushiwakamaru and the Kurama Tengu".

Ushiwakamaru is the nickname of Minamoto Yoshitsune.

According to legend, Minamoto Yoshitsune, the legendary hero at the end of the Heian period, once worshiped the Tengu as his teacher at Mount Kurama. Minamoto Yoshitsune's military skills and martial arts were all taught by the Kurama Tengu.

In Japan's Heian period (794-1192), in order to gain power and rule the world, the Kyoto court incorporated Onmyodo into the legal system.

Later, the government-run organization "Yin Yang Liao" was established to specialize in the study of Yin and Yang Dao, and Yin Yang Dao reached its peak.

For this reason, there were quite a few strange stories related to gods and ghosts during the Heian period.

"Yorimitsu Minamoto kills Shuten Doji with his precious sword Yasutsuna" and "Maro Sakaue Tamura destroys Otakemaru's body with magical arrows". There are all kinds of them, and they can be compiled better than fantasy novels.

Sanako is not the kind of fool who can't read the air.

Seeing that Qingdeng was unwilling to tell who his archery master was, she stopped going further.

She glanced back and forth at Qingdeng with suspicious eyes, then curled her red lips and looked away.

Qingdeng lowered his head and carefully looked at the purple bow in his hand, the corners of his slightly raised lips filled with satisfaction.

This was the first time that he put Yise Zhafu Riluo into actual combat.

I have to say that this bow is indeed a bow carefully selected by the majestic "Empress Dowager", and its quality is extraordinary.

Qingdeng didn't know how to make bows, so he didn't know what kind of materials were used for the bow in his hand.

He only knew one thing - this bow was perfect!

The curvature and weight of the bow, the power of the arrows... everything is impeccable! It's like it was tailor-made for him!

According to Qingdeng's estimation, if Yisezha Fusila was pulled into a full moon, its power would reach an astonishing 80 pounds!

Generally speaking, a bow weighing around 50 pounds already has armor-piercing capabilities.

80 pounds... This is enough to nail a large living person to the ground!

Of course, this is not the scariest thing about this bow.

This bow must be in the hands of Qingdeng...or it must be in the hands of a "mutant" like Qingdeng in order to exert its greatest power.

With the blessing of many talents such as "Strong Muscles +5", "Tiger Arms +4", "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers +3", Qingden can draw the bow quickly and continuously.

According to the standards of "raising the bow and shooting" and "each arrow must be of maximum power", he can shoot approximately 40 arrows per minute.

There are 40 arrows per minute, and each arrow has a power of about 80 pounds... It is no exaggeration to say that Qingdeng holding Yisezhafu Riluo is simply a mobile rapid-fire turret!

After taking his eyes away from the bow with satisfaction, Qingden handed the bow to his left hand, freeing his right hand to hold the reins.

"Zanako, let's go and have a good look at the bandit camp!"

After that, he lightly knocked on the belly of the cow and drove the carrot forward.

"Moo~~"

Carrot spread his hooves knowingly and ran away after a while.

Sanako was startled for a moment, then hurriedly rode up to follow.

She did not forget her status as a "bodyguard" and maintained a high degree of vigilance. Sometimes she turned her head and looked around, and sometimes she pointed her ears to listen to the sounds in the distance.

Although he pretended to be calm, the intense nervousness lingered in his cheeks.

For the female swordsman, who usually behaves calmly, to become like this... one can imagine how much psychological pressure she is under now.

There is a saying that "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs." So, the current situation of Qingden and Zanako is to go around in the tiger's den!

Sanako was so nervous, but Qingto... was just like usual!

His expression was so relaxed and calm, as if he was on an outing to enjoy flowers!

His calm look stunned Sanako on the side.

She had to be alert to the surroundings, but also cast a shocked look at Qingden... Her eyes were almost overwhelmed.

At this moment, the sudden sound of hooves sucked away Sanako's attention.

She followed the sound - and saw a dozen cavalrymen riding fast, appearing from behind, heading towards them!

Upon seeing this, Sanako immediately issued an alarm:

"Tangerine-kun! The rebel cavalry is approaching!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously raised the naginata in her hand with a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Qingdeng smiled lightly but didn't care.

"Zanako, don't be nervous. Just a dozen or so cavalrymen can't do anything to me."

As he spoke, he drew an arrow from the quiver on the saddle.

Then, he kept riding, turned half of his body, and looked back with an arrow.

The high-pitched string sounds expanded instantly.

The released arrow pierced the atmosphere and plunged deeply into someone's throat in the blink of an eye.

The person who was hit by the arrow made an unexplained sound of "Gugu" and "Uh-huh". He grasped the wooden beam that penetrated his throat with both hands and fell off the horse. He kicked the ground alternately with his legs, wandering on the edge of life and death.

After a while, he stopped breathing and met the King of Hell.

Qingdeng kept moving.

He continued to draw arrows from the quiver at a fast but rhythmic speed.

Draw the arrow, nock the arrow, draw the bow, shoot the arrow, hit the target, continue to draw the arrow... the cycle repeats.

With the blessing of the talented "riding expert", Qingdeng's riding talent has reached 36 times the average level of ordinary people!

Thanks to this talent, Qingden is very good at riding things!

Whether it is a person, an ox or a horse, they can be ridden soundly and vividly - in every sense of the word.

In addition, he also has "Iron Waist +3" and "Bear Waist +5" to enhance waist strength, and "Cat Turn +3" to improve balance... These talents can enable Qingden to let go of the reins.

, can still sit firmly on the saddle.

As a result, after systematic transformation, Qingdeng's riding and shooting skills were extremely high.

Even on the bumpy back of an ox, it's as if it's on flat ground, with an absurdly high hit rate.
To be continued...
