Chapter 440
Chapter 449 Old Arthur’s Dilemma
Old Arthur's rickety back disappeared from the tall city wall. Damon suddenly knelt down on one leg, holding the golden sword hilt with his trembling right hand. After a long time, he stood up with force.
On his handsome and gloomy face, a stream of blood slowly overflowed from the corners of his purple lips.
"Old guy, you're very cruel."
Damon returned to the long and empty hall and sat upright. Only here could he find something called power.
"Call Gray and Kenny." Damon said to the two guards at the door. He once apprenticed to old Arthur and swore to Jerusalem that he would agree to his three demands that did not violate morality.
So, old Arthur asked him to catch the boy from the east without hurting him, and he would do it.
After all, the young man injured the law enforcer, and he was supposed to be captured to show the majesty of the royal court.
Soon, Gray and Kenny, who were wearing golden armor, came side by side. The original spear in their hands had been replaced by a more offensive long sword. The friction sound of the metal armor interrupted Damon, who was thinking with his hands behind his back.
"That boy is in the Black Forest. Catch him and put him in a water prison." Damon paused: "Try not to hurt him. If he resists fiercely, just knock him out."
"However, the royal court stipulates that no law enforcer is allowed to step into the Black Forest."
"Who am I?!" Damon suddenly screamed, stood up from his position, walked down quickly, put his arms around Gray's neck, and asked in a low voice: "Who am I?!"
Gray was frightened, and his eyes under the hollow metal mask did not dare to look directly at the pair of burning eyes: "You, you are the high judge."
"I am the judge, the highest authority in Jerusalem. Therefore, I tell you to go to the Black Forest to capture the boy from the east. Do you understand?"
Gray hurriedly knelt down on one knee, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and put it upright in front of him. The smooth sword was like a mirror. On the front was Gray's face, and on the back was Damon who was slowly bending down. The back of his big hand brushed the sword: " Go ahead, Gray, and get that boy back."
Gray and Kenny walked away.
The hall soon fell silent again, and Damon returned to his seat, leaning back on the chair, squinting his eyes, thinking about old Arthur's shooting skills.
It was so strong that Damon had to admit that this old guy had unparalleled archery skills, so he could not teach his eight or nine-year-old granddaughter Xing Xing, who was second in Jerusalem in archery skills.
If this old guy masters the last move of archery, he may not be able to fight anymore.
Ten years later, Xingxing has grown up, will it still be his turn to be the judge?
The light in the corridor is dim, and the light becomes blurr the further away. At the end, there seems to be a figure standing, swallowed by the shadow.
Indeed, there is someone standing at the end.
"Who is there?" Damon asked loudly, scolding: "You bastard, have you forgotten who is the most powerful person here?!"
The vague figure didn't speak, but got closer and closer.
Damon's eyes were like hair made of gold, and his facial features were flawless. At the same time, Damon felt a dangerous aura. With a "clang" sound, he pulled out his golden sword, stood up from the throne, and pointed it directly at the man.
"Judge, put away your sword and we can talk."
"Who are you?" Damon asked.
"My name is Caesar, from Washington." The blond man smiled politely.
...
Black forest.
Gray and Kenny had already discovered the boy from the East. He was sitting cross-legged facing the severed head statue, with the Tang knife flat on his legs. He was breathing steadily and was obviously asleep.
The two of them drew their swords without hesitation, stepped lightly, and approached the young man.
Suddenly, Xu Jingzhe opened his eyes, raised his head, and stared at the statue. He felt it, felt a strong sense of sadness.
"You and I come from the same land." Xu Jingzhe whispered, a little sadness overflowing from his pure eyes: "Is it worth it to sacrifice everything for the one you love?"
The statue was silent, only the remaining leaves in the cracks were shaking slightly, as if they were talking to Xu Jingzhe.
"Don't worry, I will bring Archery back. You have protected Jerusalem for thousands of years. Everyone is an expert archer and they have enough ability to protect themselves."
"Go back and sleep in your hometown."
Xu Jingzhe stood up, pulled out his Tang Dao, and pointed at the two of them: "Law enforcer?"
"Yes, Senior Law Enforcer. Following the order of Judge Daemon, we will arrest you. We don't want to fight with your sword. The sword has no eyes. It would not be nice to hurt you who came from afar." Gray patted his chest with his long knife. Armor, clanking.
"Come on, let me try my skills as a senior law enforcer." Xu Jingzhe smiled: "Don't let me down. I maintain a high degree of respect for the Holy City of Jerusalem."
"Certainly, more from him."
Xu Jingzhe turned around and pointed at the severed head statue.
Gray and Kenny looked at each other. Kenny stuck the long sword in his hand on the ground, reached out and took out the longbow from behind. The moment he drew the bow, Xu Jingzhe had goosebumps all over his body and felt great danger. Is this a shooting technique?
And that’s just part of it!
Gray moved, his golden armor very dazzling.
but!
What arrived before him was a feather arrow. The arrowhead was made of copper. The cold clustered arrowhead was engraved with complex ancient inscriptions, which greatly increased the destructive power of the arrowhead.
Tang's sword struck down with force.
"Keng!"
Sparks flew everywhere, Xu Jingzhe's arm went numb, and Tang Dao almost flew away from his hand. While he was shocked, he had no time to think about it, facing Gray's sharp sword.
Because, at the moment when the feather arrow was knocked away, the long sword came in front and stabbed Xu Jingzhe's collarbone.
The fairy walked drunkenly on her feet and slid into the loach, easily dodging this dangerous blow. The two of them crossed each other, and Xu Jingzhe turned around and slashed at Gray's back with his backhand.
The shrill arrows struck again!
It was impartial and hit the center of Tang Dao. The sword deviated from its original trajectory and passed by the golden armor. Gray turned around and his swords were dense like rain. Kenny's two arrows were dodged, his face was stern, and he did not fire.
The threat was the greatest if it was provoked but not released, so that Xu Jingzhe had to distract himself from confronting Gray, and the two were evenly matched for the time being.
In terms of sword skills, Xu Jingzhe is really not very good at it.
However, even so, after hundreds of moves, Gray's flaw was still discovered, and he was slashed dozens of meters away with one knife.
Gray was wearing golden armor and hit the boulder heavily. His internal organs were shaken violently and he coughed up blood.
Kenny's expression became even grimmer, and the third arrow was finally shot.
This arrow was poured into his energy and supreme understanding of the art of archery.
Feathers and arrows clank across the sky.
Xu Jingzhe was ready. The Sixth Jue was a powerful method based on ancient combat techniques. He could not take it lightly if anyone used it.
"Buzz!"

At this moment, something happened that Xu Jingzhe had never thought of. The severed head statue gave off a hazy luster, echoing the disappearing Sagittarius in the sky. The arrow seemed to be alive and disappeared.
Xu Jingzhe's body felt cold, he stepped on Xiangu Zui and stepped back quickly, the energy in his body was running to the extreme, a golden light loomed on the surface of his skin, and he activated his strongest defense state.
It had never been like this before against Caesar.
"Swift."
"Hit."
"Heart-breaking."
"Return to zero."
A brilliant flower bloomed on her chest, which was extremely charming. The flower on her back was even bigger, covering most of her body.
When Xu Jingzhe fell, he heard several distant two-character mantras coming from afar.
He knew that this arrow was shot by that person.
Falling heavily to the ground, Xu Jingzhe's eyes were dim and dark. He wanted to use Le Jue, but found that the energy in his body seemed to be frozen and could not be mobilized.
"A terrifying shot." Xu Jingzhe thought to himself before falling asleep.
When he woke up, his lower body was immersed in the cold sea water, the top of his head was dark, and there was the intermittent sound of water droplets hitting the rocks in his ears.
"Wow~"
His hands and feet were fastened with thumb-thick iron ropes, and there was a clattering sound when he lifted them.
He reached out and touched his chest. The wound penetrated by the arrow was still there and had not healed on its own. The wound was hot, but the blood stopped flowing.
Xu Jingzhe didn't know how long it had been, maybe half a day, one day or two days. He had doubts in his mind. They were both in the Sixth Jue. Could it be that the Shooting Jue had a restraining effect on the Le Jue? This was the first time since he obtained the Le Jue that it had failed.
Or is it that the six finals have a mutual restraint effect?
"Meow~" The cat meowed intermittently.
Xu Jingzhe pricked up his ears and listened. It was very familiar. It sounded like Okapu's cry.
"Okapu." Xu Jingzhe shouted in a low voice.
"Meow, meow~"
Short and urgent.
"Okapu, did Xingxing call you here?" Xu Jingzhe thought of Xingzhe, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
"Meow meow~"
Xu Jingzhe turned around and looked. There was no guard at the big iron gate, only large iron chains wrapped around his arms.
"Okapu, there is no one, you can come in."
The sea surface was rippling, and a dirty and thin orange cat appeared in Xu Jingzhe's eyes. It put its trembling legs on Xu Jingzhe's arm and looked at him with pitiful and helpless eyes.
"Okapu!?" Through a pair of strange eyes, Xu Jingzhe was sure it was Okapu. But, how long had he been in a coma, and why did Okapu change from a fat orange cat to so thin.
He was shocked. Could it be that a long time had passed and this trip to Jerusalem had failed?
Okapu's fangs bit Xu Jingzhe's palm, and he screamed anxiously. Finally, tears kept flowing in his strange eyes, as if he was begging Xu Jingzhe.
"Where are the stars?" Xu Jingzhe asked Okapu with her heart sinking. Although Okapu couldn't speak and only met the cat once, it had to be said that Okapu could understand what Xu Jingzhe said.
Okapu jumped down, biting Xu Jingzhe's collar, shrinking his head, his big round pupils full of hope.
"Something happened to Xingxing? Where is old Arthur?" Xu Jingzhe suddenly jumped up and stared at Okapu with sharp eyes.
"Meow meow~"
Okapu screamed forlornly.
Xu Jingzhe could no longer care about anything else. The energy in his body was swimming around. He held the iron chain with both hands and it collapsed.
"Let's go, Okapu!"
Xu Jingzhe patted his shoulder, and Okapu jumped up nimbly, but when he landed on Xu Jingzhe's shoulder, he stumbled and almost fell down. Xu Jingzhe, with quick eyes and quick hands, caught Okapu with one hand, and then realized that Okapu Garp's right leg was broken, and the broken bone was like a sharp blade, penetrating its fur.
"Meow meow~"
Okapu's cry of grievance was heartbreaking.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Xingxing will be fine." Xu Jingzhe's face was heavy and his eyes were cold. He kicked open the cell door, stepped on the fairy girl and rushed out drunkenly.
Hearing the movement in the water prison, a group of guards rushed over immediately. Xu Jingzhe was so angry that he struck mercilessly. Four or five people were instantly thrown away and died on the spot.
"Lead the way, Okapu!" After breaking out of the water prison all the way to the ground, it was already evening. In the western sky, there was a ray of setting sun, and the sky was filled with burning clouds. The clouds were reflected on the sea, and the sea surface was sparkling, as if it was burning. The fire is burning, and the holy city of Jerusalem is floating half in sea water and half in flames, spectacular and magnificent. Xu Jingzhe didn't have time to appreciate it and urged Okapu to lead the way.
"Meow!"
Tears flashed in Okapu's eyes. Regardless of the injury on his leg, he limped and ran forward, leading Xu Jingzhe forward. On the spacious street, there is a constant flow of people, but nothing can stop the footsteps of one person and one cat.
Gradually, Xu Jingzhe's eyes became familiar. This was the road leading to...the black forest.
He knew that the stars were in the dark forest.
The speed suddenly increased, and when he picked up Okapu on the ground, Xu Jingzhe became a stream of light...
Black forest.
Two figures passed each other. Old Arthur was breathing heavily, his old body was covered with scars, and blood was gurgling. The sunset shone on his body, echoing the blood, which was very tragic.
"The despicable Daemon, the judge, actually seduced outsiders, kidnapped stars, and even wanted to kill me?!"
"You have violated the rules of past adjudicators, and even more so the will of that person. You are not worthy of his archery skills!" Old Arthur gasped, his chest collapsed and cracked like an old bellows, There was a whirring sound.
"Hahaha..." Dai Meng held the golden holy sword and looked up to the sky with a smile: "I have always been a humble person, don't you know? It's not because of this that you kicked me away and couldn't inherit your complete mantle. "
"That's a matter between us and Jerusalem. What does it have to do with an outsider?" The anger in old Arthur's eyes burned fiercely. If it were winter with heavy snowfall, his surroundings would definitely be extremely dry.
Damon held the golden holy sword diagonally, with old Arthur's blood still dripping on it: "What happened between the two of us? Humph! I blame you for being too selfish at the time. You handed over your powerful archery inheritance to a little girl who was only eight or nine years old. on the body.”
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid. Star's talent scares me. If she grows up and becomes a being that surpasses you, then she will be the number one marksman in Jerusalem."
"Can I still keep my position as the judge?"
"I'm afraid, she will draw her bow and shoot an arrow between my eyebrows. As long as I dare not agree, I will definitely be penetrated into the highest position of power!" Damon yelled with a distorted face.
"So what, you will still be in your prime at that time, and your martial arts will be even more powerful. If I don't master the last move of archery, return to zero, neither will the stars. If I can't master return to zero, how can I kill you?"
"Unless...die together!"
"I don't care, I don't care. I have a powerful helper at this moment. If I don't kill you, it will be the biggest regret in my life!" Damon rushed up again. He knew that old Arthur was at the end of his strength. Caesar The two of them had been fighting for a day and a night, and the old Arthur had been completely crushed. He was just trying to hold on with the hope of saving Xingxing.
