Chapter 266 Misunderstanding
"Hey, hey, isn't this right?"

Looking at Wu Yan approaching step by step, Fu Qingzhou slowly retreated and sneered: "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly trying to kill me again?!"

“This is the mission.”

As Wu Yan spoke, he slowly drew out his rapier: "Since assassination is impossible, I'll just have to kill him this way..."

"Wait a minute!" Fu Qingzhou put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said sternly, "Your employer and I have no grudges against each other, and we even have the same goal. Why would he kill me?!"

"I don't know." Wu Yan said, slowly approaching: "But this is a mission."

"..."

Fu Qingzhou frowned, but soon his brows relaxed again.

"I understand."

He sighed, "I see... Your employer thinks I'm a person of unknown origin - he may not know that I protected Ning Wushu, but he must know that I went around the Wulin Alliance looking for Master Wu and even came into contact with him."

"If I were him, I would probably think that this 'Fu Qingzhou' was related to the Northern Barbarians."

At this point, he tilted his head helplessly: "But you can't be so unreasonable, right? Sending assassins directly, this is not right, right? Are you sure that the order he gave you was to kill me?"

Hearing him say this, Wu Yan was suddenly stunned.

"Isn't it to kill you?"

He blurted out: "The employer's task is to invite you to the mass grave outside the city."

Fu Qingzhou glared: "Damn it, they are inviting me to meet and chat! How do you understand it?!"

"...kill you and throw your body into a mass grave." Wu Yan answered honestly.

Fu Qingzhou almost vomited blood.

"Okay, it's another misunderstanding."

He spread his hands and said, "Your employer invited me over to have a chat. Stop yelling about fighting and killing."

Wu Yan frowned slightly: "But I am a killer, I only know how to kill people."

"I've asked you to protect Master Wu today!" Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes: "Don't you see it? The other party doesn't use you as a killer at all, they use you as a buddy!"

Wu Yan: “…”

After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "Well, I'll cut off your arms and legs and then take you there... This way, if I understand correctly, I can kill you later; if I understand incorrectly, you can still speak."

Fu Qingzhou: “?”

"not to mention……"

Wu Yan said, his eyes had turned cold: "I have wanted to kill you for a long time."

The next moment, the rapier was raised, and a cold light flashed!

Fu Qingzhou curled his lips and held his sword in front of him.

Don't move Pluto's sword!

But Wu Yan had already suffered once last time, so he naturally would not fall into the same quagmire again. Seeing the other party taking a stance, his sword's momentum suddenly changed slightly. He gently stabbed into the range of the Immovable Pluto's Sword, and then quickly withdrew.

Fu Qingzhou's eyes changed, but his hands moved involuntarily - this sword technique did not have many variations, and once the Qi in his body was sensed, a counterattack would naturally occur!
Back then in the Fanyin Temple, he used this trick to trick Fa Nu into "counterattacking", but he didn't expect that Wu Yan had also learned this trick.

Amid the roaring sound of the sword, the long sword was already slashing towards Wu Yan, but Wu Yan had anticipated this and had already pulled back quickly.

Just when Fu Qingzhou was about to chop at air with his sword, he suddenly moved in a strange way, as if being pulled by a rope, and turned back even faster, stabbing Fu Qingzhou's right leg viciously with the thin sword!
But at this moment, a hint of cunning flashed across Fu Qingzhou's eyes.

"Do you think you are the only one who is not afraid of injury or pain?"

He sneered.

The rapier made a "swish" sound and pierced deeply into his right leg, causing blood to gushed out.

Fu Qingzhou seemed unaware of it. Instead, he turned his right leg, endured the severe pain, and forced the rapier aside with his leg!
Wu Yan's pupils trembled.

The next moment, the long sword was raised again!
At this moment, Wu Yan couldn't draw out the rapier or stab him, so he had no choice but to let go and retreat against the wind. The long sword slashed through, cutting open his red clothes and leaving a deep wound on his chest.

Fu Qingzhou curled his lips and smiled. He reached out to grasp the rapier and pulled it out of his right leg little by little. Then he threw it behind him like throwing away garbage.

"You have no weapons, are you still coming?"

he asked coldly.

Wu Yan frowned.

Fu Qingzhou shook his head, took off the big bow on his back, and shot an arrow without hesitation!
But Wu Yan did not dodge, because the arrow was not shot at him.

The arrow flew into the sky, into the distance, into the night, and soon disappeared.

Seeing Wu Yan's doubtful look, Fu Qingzhou sneered: "Don't think that I won't touch you just because I've been nice to you recently. After all, you're still a killer who has killed countless people. If I have the chance to catch you and kill you, I won't show mercy."

The next moment, a string sound suddenly spread in the night!
Wu Yan was startled and did not even have time to turn his head before he quickly dodged to the side.

But it was still too late.

In the pitch-black night, an arrow flew from nowhere, as if it had eyes, and hit Wu Yan's back!
Although he dodged quickly, the arrow came even faster. It pierced through Wu Yan's ribs without mercy, and came out of his chest with a splash of blood!

"!!!"

Wu Yan groaned, without even looking at Fu Qingzhou, and leaped into the shadows on the street.

Fu Qingzhou snorted coldly, drew his bow and shot an arrow towards the place where he disappeared.

There was a thud, which was the sound of an arrow piercing wood.

"Huh...you run really fast."

Fu Qingzhou walked over, dragging his right leg, which was still bleeding and healing slowly.

Wu Yan had disappeared, and the arrow he shot had only nailed the wall of the wooden house on the street. There was only a pool of blood, but no trace of the person.

In the distance, the sound of footsteps could be heard faintly.

Fu Qingzhou looked up and saw Ning Wushu, holding a longbow, with her clothes fluttering in the wind.

"What about people?"

She asked as she landed lightly on the ground.

Fu Qingzhou shook his head helplessly: "He ran away."

"Ran?"

Ning Wushu glared: "My arrow must have pierced his body, but he managed to run away?"

That’s right…the arrow Fu Qingzhou shot in the air just now was a request for help.

The arrow was thrown far away and should have landed right in the courtyard where Ning Wushu lived not far away.

With her ability, once she noticed something unusual, it would be normal for her to determine Wu Yan's position and then kill him with one arrow.

"That guy is not afraid of injury or pain. He can move freely no matter how badly he is injured." Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "Forget it, let's not talk about him. We'll find a chance to catch him next time. Although he misunderstood his employer's words, at least we know where to find him."

Ning Wushu was still confused: "What do you mean? Didn't you go to the Wulin League to investigate today? What happened?"

"Let's talk on the way...hiss, it hurts!"

Fu Qingzhou was just about to lead the way with his light Kung Fu skills when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right leg.

He stretched out his hand and touched the wound, feeling the knot of muscles, and said helplessly: "Damn, this guy picked my tendons..."

Ning Wushu was shocked: "You are badly injured!"

"It's OK, it's not a big problem, it will get better slowly."

Fu Qingzhou sighed, "We just have to walk slower... Let's go to the mass grave first, Lady Ning, how about helping me get a horse?"
