Chapter 476 Scheme
"Since you've admitted to being ghost scholars, then you should naturally pay the price for being ghost scholars."
Kong Ling nodded, her face expressionless.
"Is that so? You might not be capable of making us pay the price, even if you are the top scholar in the Confucius family."
The leading ghost scholar snorted coldly and said:
"Fuck me!"
However, before the other party could make a move, Kong Ling raised his hand, drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Four arrows, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, shot directly towards the ghost scholar.
These four sharp arrows, like four bolts of lightning, pierced directly through the four large trees, causing the four scholars' expressions to change instantly.
Because Kong Ling's archery skills had exceeded their expectations.
"Bang bang bang!"
The powerful archery skills forced the four scholars back dozens of steps, their faces filled with extreme shock.
"Withdraw, we are no match for him."
Upon hearing this, the other scholars nodded and then prepared to leave.
Just as they made a move, a sharp arrow suddenly flew from the distant woods, hitting one of them in the leg. This unexpected turn of events startled the scholars, who then dared not make any further moves.
Kong Ling naturally noticed this scene as well. He looked toward where the arrow had been shot and saw the distant woods sway slightly for a moment before a person jumped down from there.
"Ye Ru?"
Kong Ling saw the figure and shouted.
“Stop the four ghost scholars. It seems that your Jin Kingdom’s literary gathering has been infiltrated by ghost scholars quite a bit. I’m afraid many scholars have also been surrounded by these ghost scholars.”
Ye Ru came to Kong Ling's side, then stood shoulder to shoulder with him and said in a deep voice.
As the ghost scholars surfaced, his expression turned grim. He hadn't expected that so many people were still hidden among the remaining four hundred scholars.
"What did you say? Besides these four and Yan Jin and his two companions, there are other ghost scholars?"
Kong Ling looked at the ghostly scholars in the distance, then asked in a low voice.
"Yes, let's arrest them first. We need to get some information out of them."
Nodding, Ye Ru raised his hand and aimed precisely at the leading ghost scholar before firing.
boom!
The bullet struck the opponent's calf directly, leaving him no chance to escape.
"Tell me, or tell me how many other ghost scholars there are besides you."
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, then slowly walked in and stood in front of the leading ghost scholar. The others dared not move, because if they left while reading the Analects, they would probably be instantly killed by the backlash.
"I've lost today, but don't think you'll get away with this so easily. There are still over a hundred of us Ghost Scholars around, and they've already spread out to various places here to plunder others. Hehe, if we Ghost Scholars win this literary competition, it will probably be a huge blow to the reputation of your human race, right?"
The leading ghost scholar sneered, seemingly oblivious to the pain coursing through his body, and mocked.
"While that is true, don't underestimate us. We'll arrest you first and let the Jin Kingdom's National Academy decide your fate."
Ye Ru nodded, but a solemn expression appeared on his face. If there really were so many ghost scholars, the other scholars would probably not have an easy time. Since they came here, it meant that they had strong self-confidence, and the training they received should also be very strong.
Two rounds have already passed, and there are still so many charlatans; this alone shows the extent of their talent.
"You can stay here for now. With such serious injuries, you can't run away even if you wanted to. As for the rest, just wait for the National Holy Academy's decision."
Kong Ling shrugged, then fired two more arrows, which struck the remaining two men in the calves. He then exchanged a glance with Ye Ru, nodded, and left.
"Damn it, are we going to have to go out?"
Watching Ye Ru and Kong Ling leave, the leading Ghost Scholar took a deep breath. Only now did he feel the pain in his calf. Right now, the entire Book Palace here was sealed off, so there was no way to use his talent energy. Therefore, he could not use his talent energy to heal his injuries. He could only obediently wait here for the competition to end.
……
"There are so many Ghost Scholars this time. Do you think they're lying? If there really are this many Ghost Scholars, we're in for a tough time."
Kong Ling and Ye Ru were walking on the grass when suddenly the former asked the latter a question.
He couldn't believe it. The Ghost Scholar was so interested in this literary competition that he had brought out so many Ghost Scholars. If he hadn't caught them, he probably wouldn't have known that this competition was actually a battle between scholars and Ghost Scholars.
"Looking at it now, it's actually quite possible, because several ghost scholars were chasing me before, so I believe what they said."
"After all, the Ghost Scholar's temperament is much more arrogant than that of our human scholars."
"Then we must act quickly and find other people. The fewer scholars we have, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. They might even attack us."
Kong Ling also took a deep breath, a solemn expression appearing on his face. Surrounded by a hundred ghostly scholars who lacked talent, even with his own abilities, he would probably have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.
"Let's take them out as we go."
Ye Ru nodded and then sped off toward a certain place.
……
rustle!
In a certain place, several ghostly scholars shrouded in black mist walked along the road, constantly looking around as if searching for something.
"Hey boss, where are the other Jin scholars around here? We've been searching for so long and haven't found any."
The leader wiped the sweat from his brow, looked around, and then spoke slowly.
"Don't rush, what's the rush? Didn't Boss Yan tell us to meet up and concentrate our forces to attack Kong Ling and Ye Ru together? I have to say, they are really powerful. They were able to suppress Boss Yan and his group directly. They were actually at a disadvantage in the first two rounds of the Six Arts."
"Yes, these two are incredibly talented, but they weren't found in this Six Arts Archery competition. Perhaps their archery skills aren't that outstanding."
"Every coin has two sides. We still need to be careful. Let's go find Lord Yan quickly, and then focus on finding Kong Ling and Ye Ru."
As they spoke, they were about to walk forward, but before they could even take a step, a voice made them suddenly look up and shout sharply:
"who!"
The sound lingered there, and after a while, a figure slowly walked out and smiled at it:
"Aren't you looking for me?"
