"Uncle Amakura! Please hold back Eiichi Shimizu! I'll kill that archer!"

There is no doubt that the current worry for Qingdeng and others is the sniper hiding in a distant dark place, calling them names one by one with his superb archery skills.

Even Qingden was not 100% sure of avoiding the arrows fired by this sniper at a speed comparable to bullets, let alone others?

If this beast is not dealt with as soon as possible, Qingdeng and the others will definitely lose.

Tiancang Xiao naturally understands this truth that even a 6-year-old child understands.

He glanced at Qingden and nodded.

"I know, leave it to me."

As he spoke, he raised the kunai in his left hand and the wakizashi in his right hand, facing Eiichi Shimizu, and took a stance.

"Well, please!"

Qingden turned around and ran towards the window closest to him.

On the way, he picked up a bow and a pot of arrows lying on the ground.

When Qing Shuirong saw this, he instinctively chased after Qing Deng in an attempt to stop Qing Deng.

Tiancang Xiao moved faster and stepped in front of him, inserting his body between him and Qingdeng.

"stop."

Amakura Owl used both hands, the kunai in his left hand and the wakizashi in his right hand to attack Eiichi Shimizu at the same time.

As soon as an expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not.

After being shocked to realize that the old man in front of him was no ordinary person, Shimizu Eiichi did not dare to be careless and faced the battle calmly, fighting as a team with Tiancang Xiao.

…

After climbing over the window, Qingdeng ran straight to a forest several hundred meters away - all the arrows were shot from this forest!

Because this place is located on the outskirts of Edo, natural scenery such as mud fields, bushes, and woods can be seen everywhere.

Being able to launch beyond visual range sniping with a Japanese bow... Qingdeng thought about it, and there was only one person he could think of who could do such a thing - the cadre of the Execution Party code-named "Nue"!

After "Kama Weasa" and "Rakshasa", Qingdeng once again faced off against the cadres of the party who were punished by law.

——The Fa Zhu Dang and I... are really destined!

As soon as he thought about this, a strange look that looked like a smile but not a smile appeared on Qingdeng's face.

"Bishop's Core +2", "Leading the Horse +1", and the newly acquired "Nine Bulls and Two Tigers" are all activated!

Qingdeng's running speed... Usain Bolt would be so scared that he would kneel to the ground when he saw it.

His feet shoveled the soil on the ground, speeding towards the woods like a whirlwind, approaching Nue!

…

"Huh? This person is..."

Nue, who was standing on the trunk of a thick tree, was drawing his bow and arrow, preparing to capture another head from Qingdeng's side.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed someone approaching.

He stopped and looked carefully.

After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, he looked surprised.

"Nioh...!"

He took a closer look and found that Qingdeng was holding a bow in his left hand and a pot of arrows on his waist.

"I see……"

Nue, who spoke with a serious smile, had a rare curve in the corners of his lips.

"Do you want to have an archery duel with me..."

According to intelligence, Nioh can also use a bow, and his level is very good.

"interesting."

Nue racked up the arrows and slowly drew the bow.

"Then let me see...your archery skills!"

Whoosh!

The tight force bounced from Nue's arms, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard.

…

The muffled sound of a bowstring vibrating could be heard from ahead.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air came closer in an instant.

——So fast!

Qingdeng's face sank involuntarily.

Nue's arrows are not only accurate, but their speed is also a big problem!

According to Qingdeng's estimation, the flight speed of the arrows shot by Nue is not inferior to the bullets of the musket!

Although not long ago, when he was annihilating Kitahara Konosuke and others, Aoto himself split the pistol bullets that came towards him.

But to be honest...he himself didn't know how he did it at the time.

At that time, he swung the knife completely based on his feeling - and then he actually hit the bullet.

If you ask Qingdeng to do it again and try to chop bullets with a knife, he can guarantee that I can't do it!

Since you don't have full confidence in cutting down arrows that are as fast as bullets, you can't attack recklessly.

Qingdeng opened his eyes wide and did not even dare to blink.

"Eagle Eye +2" improves dynamic vision, and "Speed ​​+4" improves reaction speed. In the system list, the entries for these two talents both emit a golden light that means "activating".

Relying on these two talents, Qingdeng barely managed to catch the trajectory of the arrow, and then dodged the first arrow shot by Nue, which was neither difficult nor easy.

The darkness instantly swallowed up the arrows flying into the distance.

The distance between him and Nue is still about 200 meters!

Soon enough, Nue's second arrow came.

Qingden followed suit, using "Eagle Eye +2" to capture the arrow's trajectory, and "Speed ​​+4" to avoid the arrow.

But this time, Qingdeng's movements were no longer as graceful as before.

As the distance got closer, Qingdeng's reaction time became shorter and shorter.

The distance between him and Nue is still about 100 meters!

Just as the rabbit was rising and the falcon was falling, Nue's third arrow came!

The arrow pushed away the atmosphere, accompanied by the wind, and penetrated Qingdeng's chest.

Qingdeng struggled to twist his body to the right.

Although he had dodged immediately, but...

"Uh...!"

A cry of pain floated out from the tip of his nose.

Qingdeng's current state can probably be said to be "unfortunate among all the blessings".

Fortunately, he avoided the front of the arrow and did not add another "hanging ornament" to his waist and abdomen.

Unfortunately, the sharp arrow still grazed his side, taking away some flesh.

The distance between him and Nue is still about 30 meters!

He could already see Nue's face squatting on the tree trunk!

It's just that... when he saw Nue's face, he also saw Nue's action of unstringing the arrow, and the fourth arrow shot towards him.

Whoosh——!

Because the distance between the two was extremely close, the sound of the arrows piercing the air this time was extremely sharp and loud!

At such a distance, "Eagle Eye +2" and "Speed ​​+4" are useless.

Qingden relied on his fighting instinct accumulated through hundreds of battles and reflexively turned to the left.

The next moment, the heartbreaking pain was centered on his right calf and spread throughout his body.

The arrow pierced Qingdeng's right calf. Although it did not penetrate into the flesh, it still made a deep wound.

When the body is galloping at high speed, it is difficult to maintain a sense of balance.

Qingdeng was in pain, and his lower body accidentally lost its stability, and he fell to the ground, raising a faint cloud of smoke.

The distance between him and Nue was less than 20 meters...

Seeing Qing Deng fall to the ground, Nue's hand drawing the arrow stopped in mid-air.
To be continued...
