Chapter 159 Bone Forging Master
"That's... a Bone Forging Realm expert?"
Su Hao was somewhat uncertain.
The inhuman fighting style they displayed earlier was definitely not something that someone at the third blood level could achieve.
"That's right." Zhou Zhengtang nodded. "Now you should understand why I was so cautious before. The Chu family is definitely not something you can take down easily. Who would have thought they had a Bone Forging Realm martial artist hidden among them?"
Su Hao nodded silently.
Indeed, he hadn't expected that the Chu family would have such a powerful backup plan.
To his surprise, both the Zhou and Ren families were able to simultaneously enlist the help of experts at the Bone Forging Realm.
At the same time, his gaze was fixed on the battle in the arena.
This is a battle between martial artists at the Bone Forging Realm; it's not something you can just happen to see.
Zhou Zhengtang, standing to the side, also kept his eyes glued to the arena.
The attack on the Chu family has only just begun, and there are still many figures lurking around who could influence the course of the battle.
boom!!!
As the three Bone Forging Realm warriors clashed, the surrounding buildings began to collapse one after another.
The Bone Forging Realm, also known as the Copper Skin and Iron Bones, possesses immense divine strength. Although the rumors may be somewhat exaggerated, its combat prowess is absolutely unmatched by ordinary martial artists.
Even the most ordinary punches and kicks can unleash terrifying power!
"People from the Chu family have started to escape—"
The battle in the arena reached a fever pitch, drawing everyone's attention.
At this time, some members of the Chu family began to escape from some remote and dark corners of the Chu family compound, fleeing into the darkness.
Zhou Zhengtang naturally wouldn't let these people go. He leaped out, jumped down from the pavilion, and chased after them, sword in hand.
Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no future troubles.
Now that he has completely broken ties with the Chu family, Zhou Zhengtang will not let any member of the Chu family off the hook.
Seeing this, Su Hao also used his leg skills to follow up.
Their mission tonight is to eliminate any remaining members of the Chu family who have escaped.
As for why Zhou Zhengtang was not allowed to participate in the main operation to break through the Chu family, it was probably because Zhou Chang'an was also worried that things might change.
After all, there is a huge difference in strength between the Third Blood Realm and the Bone Forging Realm. If the other side were to fight back desperately, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This is why Zhou Cheng'an and others would rather spend a lot of money to hire most of the top-tier experts to fight to the death than have their own direct descendants fight.
Moreover, it wasn't just the Zhou family that did this; the Ren family did the same.
Therefore, while Zhou Zhengtang and Su Hao were acting, there were also many figures hidden in the shadows around them, quickly attacking the fleeing Chu family members.
The two walked along the street and soon arrived at a dark alley.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a faint whooshing sound came from the depths of the alley. Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang's eyes narrowed, one to the left and the other to the right, each dodging the incoming gust of wind.
A black arrow pierced between the two men, flew out of the alley, and embedded itself in the stone wall across the street with a clang, sending sparks flying.
"Heavy crossbow?"
Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang exchanged a glance, their expressions immediately turning serious.
It seems the Zhou family has quite a few backup plans, including such a powerful weapon as a heavy crossbow.
Doo doo doo!!
Immediately afterwards, there was a series of crisp sounds of mechanisms colliding.
Five or six arrows shot in from the darkness at the same time.
Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang smiled helplessly and could only temporarily hide outside the alley.
"Hurry up!"
As Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang left, hurried footsteps began to echo in the alley.
bang bang bang! ! !
But before these people could leave, a series of even crisper and heavier crossbow bolts rang out from the alley where Su Hao and his companion had left.
Several black iron arrows pierced the air, tearing through the air and leaving a spiral trajectory in mid-air, one after another shooting into the darkness.
Puff puff puff!!
Then came a series of tearing sounds as flesh was pierced through!
The man didn't even have time to scream before he quickly fell silent.
"Wow, that's awesome! Brother, if you have time, get a few more of these crossbows; they'd be perfect for harvesting."
Zhou Zhengtang held the two crossbows made of fine iron in his hands, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The force that made his hand tremble the moment the crossbow bolt was fired earlier showed just how powerful the iron crossbow was!
In his estimation, even a martial arts master specializing in defense would probably not be able to withstand a single blow from such an iron crossbow.
Moreover, even a master of the Bone Forging Realm could be seriously injured or even killed if they were accidentally shot in a vital spot by such a crossbow.
"Do you think this is as common as cabbage? And do you know this thing is illegal?"
Su Hao put away the crossbow and said irritably.
These crossbows were something Su Hao stumbled upon while browsing the underground market. However, by then, all the crossbow bolts were rusted, and some of the internal parts were damaged or missing.
Fortunately, after disassembling the four iron crossbows, Su Hao managed to piece together a complete iron crossbow.
After some repairs, the crossbows were finally successfully repaired.
Su Hao originally intended to keep these things for his own use.
After all, the people selling the crossbows said that these crossbows were picked up from the battlefield where Feisha Pass was clearing out the Green Forest Army. They were extremely powerful, and some upgraded versions could even pierce through armor with a single arrow, with terrifying penetrating power.
Moreover, it was a forbidden weapon explicitly prohibited by the imperial court because its destructive power was far too ferocious!
However, upon hearing Zhou Zhengtang's plan—that the Zhou family would join forces with the Ren family to completely annihilate the Chu family—he revealed this trump card.
Hopefully it will come in handy when needed.
"Heh heh! When faced with absolute money and power, the law is nothing!"
Zhou Zhengtang didn't take it seriously and strode into the alley with his crossbow in hand.
The two entered the alley and hadn't gone far when they saw several figures in brocade robes lying on the ground ahead.
Zhou Zhengtang stepped forward, picked up his longsword, and delivered a series of blows before beginning to examine the body for identification.
Su Hao stood guard to the side, watching out for any movement around him.
Zhou Zhengtang soon discovered that one of these people was Yang Shouyi, the head of the Chu family's guards.
Yang Shouyi is one of the three top masters of the Chu family. He is quite powerful and is said to be proficient in both palm and leg techniques. His combination of palm and leg techniques makes him both offensive and defensive, and he is hard to beat at the same level.
"Unfortunately, times have changed—"
Zhou Zhengtang shook the iron crossbow in his hand.
Unexpectedly, the group they tracked turned out to include Yang Shouyi and other leaders of the Chu family's guards.
However powerful these people were, they still could not escape being shot in the end.
Without these crossbows, he and Su Hao might have been able to defeat this man together, but it would certainly not have been easy.
"Watch out!"
"
Suddenly, Su Hao exclaimed and pulled Zhou Zhengtang away.
With a series of thuds, three arrows struck the spot where Zhou Zhengtang had just been standing.
This sudden turn of events caused both Su Hao and his companion to exchange a cold glance.
