Xuanxia

Chapter 131 The First Night

Fu Qingzhou did not act rashly.

The spiritual energy here was not very strong. Even though someone was approaching from five hundred steps away, he had almost no sense of it.

Now that the smoker had reminded him, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and was able to barely hear the soft sound of some branches and leaves being crushed.

"Very professional. The soles of these people's shoes have been treated. There is almost no sound of footsteps and breathing. They must be trained killers."

He looked solemn, with a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead.

Fifteen professionally trained assassins from four realms...

If we face the enemy head-on, we will definitely not be their match.

Those traps certainly work, but to what extent is unknown.

As I was thinking about it, a slight sound of breaking air suddenly came from the deep forest at night, followed by a scream!
Fu Qingzhou's pupils narrowed slightly. Someone had stepped on the mechanism he had set up!

He was not too surprised because the scream was only a very short one.

Most of the traps he set up did not exist alone, but were linked together. So many people approached, but they only triggered one trap, and there were no more screams...

This only shows that they are very strong and alert. Even if they stepped into a trap, they did not panic at all and responded immediately.

"Humph……"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes: "We can't just wait here for them to step into the trap, we have to guide them."

As he spoke, he drew his bow and arrow and closed his eyes.

In the dark forest, at a very long distance, even if he opened his eyes he still couldn't see those people, so he could only listen.

After waiting quietly for a moment, the hand pulling the string gently released.

The bowstring sounded lightly, and the iron arrow whizzed away!

Even Wu Changfeng, who was in the sixth realm at the time, found such an arrow difficult to deal with. With just the fourth realm, even a professional killer would never be able to escape unscathed!

In the blink of an eye, the sound of footsteps on branches in the forest stopped, leaving only the dull sound of falling to the ground.

There was no scream. The person who was shot didn't even have time to make a groan before he died.

"there!"

A low roar was heard in the forest, and then the footsteps immediately became more frequent, rapidly approaching the ruined temple.

Fu Qingzhou did not retreat but advanced towards them!

As he flew forward, he shot several arrows again. This time he used the Wind-Deceiving Shadow Arrows. The iron arrows flew in all directions, and their trajectories deflected in the air, becoming almost unpredictable. In the end, they stabbed the killers from three different directions.

But the speed and power of this curved arrow are naturally not as good as those of a straight flying arrow. Although the killers had a hard time dealing with it, the sound of clinking resistance could still be heard in the forest.

But after the sound of resistance, there was another scream!
Fu Qingzhou's lips curled up.

The Wind-Deceiving Shadow-Trickling Arrows are not used to kill people, but to force them into a trap!
The previous arrow left them with the impression that "this man has great archery skills and should not be underestimated." Later, they were surprised to find several iron arrows coming towards them in a bend, so they had to retreat and block them at the same time.

But this retreat fell into Fu Qingzhou's trap.

The so-called "surround three sides and leave one open" means that arrows will come from three sides and one side is left open. The left position is naturally a trap.

There was a rumbling sound of the ground collapsing. Fu Qingzhou listened carefully and saw that at least three people had fallen into the pit and were pierced by the sharp spikes at the bottom.

"They've dispersed." Smoker's reminder came.

Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly, not feeling surprised.

But this also meant that... it was even more difficult. The initial trap killed one person, and he killed one person with his first arrow. Now three more people fell into the trap. Five of the fifteen people were killed, leaving ten people.

After these ten people dispersed, if any one of them managed to get into the ruined temple, Yue Heng would surely die!

Fu Qingzhou took a deep breath, climbed up a big tree with light hands and feet, and focused his eyes.

Now the killers were not that far away and he could already see their outlines.

Just as he expected, three people were walking quickly towards the ruined temple, while the remaining seven were encircling him.

These people were dressed in red and held long slender swords in their hands, an attire that was very familiar to him.

"Drizzle Pavilion?"

Fu Qingzhou pursed his lips.

Back then in the Wandu Mountain, Hua Xiaolan and her companions had hired killers from Xiyu Pavilion... At that time, the killers from Xiyu Pavilion were on their side, but now they have become their enemies.

But it doesn’t matter, those who kill will be killed!
He looked straight at the people approaching him, turned sideways, drew the bow, and shot another arrow without even looking.

The iron arrow whizzed away and pierced the three people near the ruined temple.

With a muffled groan, another person fell to the ground, but the other two did not stop and continued to run wildly!
Fu Qingzhou shot another arrow, but this time he was not aiming at the killer, but at a vine not far from him.

With a snap, the vines broke, and the falling log trap hidden among the tall branches was triggered. One log after another fell down, breaking countless branches and falling towards the two killers who were running towards the ruined temple!
The two assassins were still dozens of steps away from the ruined temple when they suddenly saw falling trees all around them, which frightened them so much that they raised their swords and chopped at them.

But when they swung their swords to chop the fallen trees, two more iron arrows shot at them from tricky angles and pierced deeply into their vital points.

Fu Qingzhou let out a long sigh - his arms were a little numb from firing arrows with such high frequency and force.

But now, we can't relax.

A red shadow was floating in front of him, and a cold light flashed. The remaining killers had already attacked him!
Looking down, I saw that the seven killers had all arrived under the tree. They were now climbing up the tree one after another, drawing their swords and stabbing!
Fu Qingzhou didn't dare to touch its rays directly. He tiptoed, jumped high, grabbed a vine, and swung towards another tree not far away.

The killers followed closely behind, chasing relentlessly, but no one went towards the ruined temple.

They must have realized that if they didn't kill the archer in front of them, no one would be able to approach the ruined temple.

Fu Qingzhou wandered back and forth in the woods, but he could not shake off the group of killers behind him. He didn't even have the chance to bend his bow again - every time he tried to turn around and shoot an arrow, at least three rapiers would be handed to him, forcing him to retreat again.

These killers cooperated seamlessly, were fearless and had no idea what fear was. They didn't even try to dodge, and it was clear that they were ready to trade their own lives every time.

Under such circumstances, it became very difficult for Fu Qingzhou to kill anyone again. After escaping in the woods for a cup of tea, he barely lured a killer into a trap and killed another one.

But as a result, the killers became even more cautious. They even only walked on the path he had walked before, making it almost impossible to trigger the trap.

"almost."

Fu Qingzhou was floating in the woods, and his eyes suddenly became stern.

The Yi Ran Jue in his body was running suddenly, and his speed and strength suddenly increased. He no longer swayed among the vines, but stepped on the tree, pushed hard, and used the force to fall to the ground like a cannonball.

When he put his feet firmly on the ground, he looked up and saw six red-clad killers falling from the sky, with their raised red sleeves like blood-stained bat wings.

Fu Qingzhou sneered and raised the longbow. The iron arrow on the bow frame was wrapped with yellow talismans, and the words on the talismans were as bright red as the killers' clothes.

The strings rang, and the talisman arrows flew towards the unavoidable killers in mid-air.

The killer who was falling the fastest suddenly attacked with the tip of his rapier, trying to deflect the iron arrow.

The next moment, blazing flames engulfed him!

After using talisman arrows to deal with Wu Changfeng, Fayuan and others, Fu Qingzhou realized that the explosive arrows were more surprising than powerful enough, so before accepting Zuo Lamei's mission and rushing here, he specially made a few new talisman arrows.

At this time, the flames spread rapidly, mixed with the sharp fragments of the arrow explosion, and shot fiercely at the six killers in the air!
