The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 158 Archery History

Countless harsh facts have proven that people with different faces receive drastically different treatment.

Wu Chengyu appeared in Hangzhou City using Yan Zu's face. With his burly physique, everyone immediately assumed he was a martial artist. As a result, he was noticed by the henchmen as soon as he entered the city and was followed and stalked.

Not to mention that even a perverted old monster like Guhua became interested in him.

But when he put on Brother Qingyun's face, his physique remained robust, with only minor adjustments made, and he was almost no longer a threat to others.

These days in this mountain villa, his perpetually simple-minded appearance and obsequious smile are so deceptive that almost no one pays him any attention.

So what if he's burly? He's a skilled barbecue chef who sneaks in some meat for himself. It's no wonder he's burly.

So when Wu Chengyu pretended to be shocked by the five hundred taels of silver and couldn't resist his greed, wanting to try his bow, the Jin people didn't take him seriously at all. Instead, he became the object of their ridicule.

Only the Song people around him, seeing that Wu Chengyu seemed completely unaware of what was happening, allowing the Jin people to ridicule him for the sake of silver, even fawning over them with a forced smile, his back completely bent, felt humiliated. They gritted their teeth at Wu Chengyu, furious at his lack of self-respect.

The guards on the Song side glared angrily at Wu Chengyu, while Zhao Ju and another expert looked at him sideways, wishing they could kill him with a single blow.

Guhua, who had been standing far away, only glanced at Wu Chengyu once before losing interest.

Wu Chengyu's original figure was etched into his mind, but Wu Chengyu also expected that with Shi Miyuan's appearance, Guihua would inevitably accompany him.

When he uses the Bone Shrinking Technique, he shortens his neck as much as possible, narrows his shoulders, and widens his buttocks.

As long as these three points on the upper body change, a person's physique will naturally be very different.

In addition, Wu Chengyu had been thoroughly exposed to smoke and fire these past two days, and the smell of oil on his body and the grease on his face made Guihua too lazy to even glance at him.

Wu Chengyu was still putting on an act: "Commander, I've been strong since I was a child. I don't need five hundred taels. If I pull it apart, just give me five taels."

He bowed, looking up at Puchalieshi with a fawning expression, his greed seemingly overshadowing all personal and national hatred.

"Haha, don't worry, I, Jin Ren, keep my word. As long as you can pull it open, I'll give you five hundred taels of silver right away. Even if I don't have it, my prince will give it to you."

After saying that, he put the hard bow into Wu Chengyu's hand. The hard bow itself weighed more than ten kilograms. When it fell into Wu Chengyu's hand, Wu Chengyu's hand sank down at the right moment, and it almost fell to the ground. He was in a flurry of activity for a while.

"Pull, pull!" the Jurchens shouted, laughing wildly, while the Song people remained silent.

Puchalieshi laughed so hard he almost fell over. He really liked the roasted meat Wu Chengyu made, but he was even happier using Wu Chengyu to humiliate the Song people.

In that instant, Puchalieshi's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing.

Wu Chengyu, who had been hunched over and looked like a servant, suddenly stood up straight in the blink of an eye, like a flagpole or a spear, standing tall and upright in front of me.

His own three-stone hard bow, with a pulling force of three hundred pounds, was pulled open in an instant, and even the bow made a slight cracking sound due to the large amplitude.

Most importantly, he only told Wu Chengyu to draw the bow, but didn't give him any arrows.

But Wu Chengyu not only drew his bow, but also had a long arrow nocked on it.

He immediately looked down at his quiver. Top archers always knew how many arrows were in their quiver, but he was shocked to find that one was missing. "You?" He knew exactly what had happened and rushed towards Wu Chengyu, but it was too late.

The bow is drawn as full as a full moon, and the arrow flies like a shooting star.

All that could be heard was Wu Chengyu's furious shout: "Golden Dog, prepare to die!" His voice, deep in his dantian and as resounding as steel, echoed throughout the entire manor.

The Jin people were shocked. Several Jin guards rushed over instantly. Puchalieshi was the closest and swung his fist at Wu Chengyu.

However, the experts from the Song Kingdom stopped in their tracks when they heard the words "Golden Dog".

Unfortunately, they immediately regretted it. Wu Chengyu was shouting "Golden Dog" but his target was Shi Miyuan. Shi Miyuan had always been his target.

Wu Chengyu had never practiced archery, but a master like him could coordinate his mind, hand, and eye perfectly. Now, he didn't need to hit the bullseye from a hundred paces away. He was less than ten zhang away from Shi Miyuan, so there was absolutely no reason for him to miss.

The moment the arrow was released, a master like Zhao Ju immediately recognized that the arrow was aimed at Shi Miyuan.

But just as their bodies were pulling back, and they realized something was wrong and jumped up again, they only paused for 0.1 seconds before it was too late to stop the arrow.

The two had no choice but to strike out with their palms, hoping to deflect the long arrow with their palm force.

The other expert was too far away, and his palm strike couldn't keep up with the speed of the arrow.

Zhao Ju had just been confronting Pu Chalieshi and was currently closest to him; it looked like he could easily cleave the long arrow in two with a single palm strike.

Unexpectedly, the arrow suddenly accelerated in mid-air, narrowly avoiding Zhao Ju's palm strike.

At this moment, the swordsman behind Wanyan Hongyu leaped into the air. He was the fastest to react when Wu Chengyu shouted "Jin dog" and immediately drew his sword. When he realized that Wu Chengyu had shot at Shi Miyuan, he did not hesitate. For the Jin Kingdom, Shi Miyuan was the best tool and could not be lost.

His blade was nearing its peak, about to strike the long arrow, but just then the arrow suddenly accelerated a second time in a bizarre manner.

Both sides' experts attacked simultaneously, but in the blink of an eye, they both failed, and the arrow was less than half a meter away from Shi Miyuan.

At this moment, the only one who could save Shi Miyuan in time was Guihua, whose lightness skill was no less than that of Wu Chengyu.

He had no interest in the affairs of the Jin and Song dynasties and was in a bad mood, so he was a bit far from the platform. However, Guhua reacted very quickly. Instead of blocking the arrow, he rushed to Shi Miyuan's side and touched Shi Miyuan's shoulder as the arrow approached.

Just as Shi Miyuan was about to be pulled away by Guihua, Wu Chengyu's arrow was bound to fail. But no one expected that the arrow would accelerate again at the last moment.

Guihua only had time to pull Shi Miyuan away from the armchair, barely avoiding the arrow aimed straight at her heart, but she was still impaled on the shoulder by the long arrow.

With a powerful bow and an arm strength of 800 jin, at a distance of less than ten zhang, this arrow could no longer be considered an arrowhead; it was practically a powerful crossbow bolt.

The arrow didn't just pierce Shi Miyuan's shoulder; it severed his shoulder completely.

Shi Miyuan let out a scream as half of his arm fell off and sprayed blood. Wanyan Hongyu, who had been stunned when the assassination began, was now covered in blood, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.
