Chapter 376 Ten Miles

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Qiu Chan's heavy coughs continued to echo in the car.

For her, using magic weapons to kill four female killers in the sixth realm was not as easy as it seemed.

"You..." Fu Qingzhou patted her back to calm her down, and sighed, "You are obviously not a cultivator, and you only have one spiritual orifice opened, but you carry magic weapons. Can't you get some treasures that are suitable for warriors?"

Qiu Chan glared at him fiercely and was about to speak when she started coughing heavily again.

"Okay, big brother, don't talk about Sister Qiuchan anymore." Tang Jiao said softly, "The problem now is, what should we do if we run into the enemy again?"

Perhaps he heard her words, Yuan Ziping outside the car said in a deep voice: "Young Master, Young Lady, let me do it. Although I am not as good as you, I can still fight."

Fu Qingzhou looked down at his arm.

The wounds that had been torn in the fierce battle just now had actually almost recovered.

But the last blow of the sword to the bliss consumed most of his true energy. Now that he has recovered a little, if he really wants to fight...

"Brother, let me do it."

At this time, Tang Jiao raised her head, her eyes shining: "I can help you too."

"Jiaojiao, you are only at the fourth realm." Fu Qingzhou said helplessly: "The next killer will be stronger, how are you going to deal with it? Even if you join forces with Lao Yuan, it is difficult to win, not to mention that we have to leave someone to protect Zhu Mei."

"Sir..." Outside, Yuan Ziping said again: "I can..."

"Okay, stop talking."

Fu Qingzhou interrupted them and asked in a deep voice: "Old Yuan, how far are we from the capital?"

"Sir, we are almost there." Yuan Ziping said, "We have walked ten miles, and we will arrive in another five or six miles."

"Okay, speed up."

Fu Qingzhou said slowly: "If there are more assassins coming, I will stop them. Jiaojiao, do you still have the magic weapon that Master Uncle gave you?"

"...There are more." Tang Jiao's tone was calm and firm: "But they are mostly used for auxiliary purposes. Master doesn't want me to rely on too much external things."

"fine."

Fu Qingzhou smiled at her and said, "Tell me everything you have that can help you in the battle, and I'll find a way."

I don't know when the rain stopped.

But although the heavy rain has stopped, the gloomy clouds in the night have not yet dissipated, the stars and the moon are dim, and the cold wind is as cold as a knife.

This time, the killer who came chose to hide and explode.

When the carriage was halfway along the road, the ground suddenly shook violently!
The official road, which was muddy but at least wide and smooth, suddenly exploded into a huge cloud of dust, mud and smoke!

The explosion occurred right under the carriage, instantly lifting the entire carriage up. Countless tiny pieces of sand instantly pierced through the horses' bodies. They neighed in agony, and countless blood holes appeared on their bodies. It was obvious that they were doomed to die.

The carriage was also torn into pieces in the explosion!
The coachman Yuan Ziping reacted immediately, but he only had time to take care of himself. He tapped the horse's back with his toes, took advantage of the momentum to jump high, and gathered his internal energy in the air to protect his body, but he was still scratched by the sand and gravel, leaving scars all over his body.

Four figures suddenly emerged from the exploded carriage.

Tang Jiao hugged Zhu Mei in her arms, with the spirit sword hovering under her feet. With her current strength, she couldn't walk on the sword, but she could step on the spirit sword to fly upwards and change her position in mid-air. Therefore, she was the fastest. In a blink of an eye, she dodged dozens of feet and avoided the center of the explosion far away.

Qiu Chan had previously forced her magic weapon to activate, and her internal injuries were probably severe. She was unable to dodge on her own, but was "thrown" by Fu Qingzhou in the direction where Tang Jiao fled.

And Fu Qingzhou himself...

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he drew his sword without dodging. Instead, he used the force of throwing Qiu Chan away to turn around and stab the ground with his sword!

After the ground exploded, a large cloud of yellow sand and smoke filled the air, which contained murderous intent. However, Fu Qingzhou seemed to be blind to it and rushed down recklessly.

The next moment, the Cloud-Splitting Blade sank deeply into the ground - after the explosion, a large pit appeared on the ground, but no one knew what was in the pit.

But it is also possible that there is nothing in the pit.

Fu Qingzhou stabbed into the deep pit with his knife, but found nothing, and stabbed the solid ground with his knife!
"Ha ha ha ha--"

At this moment, a smug laugh came from not far away: "It is said in the martial arts world that Qianlong has a lot of wisdom and strategies, but now we see that he is just so-so!"

The smoke dissipated and the deep pit was empty.

The next moment, the fragments of the carriage that had been blown up into the sky and the horses that had been killed in the explosion all began to fall down with a loud bang.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and swung his long sword, clearing away all the things that were thrown at him.

At the same time, Yuan Ziping's roar was heard: "Thief! Let the young lady go!"

Fu Qingzhou said nothing, and followed the sound with a knife in hand...but saw a long black cloth extending from the shadows, which swept away Tang Jiao, Qiu Chan and Zhu Mei, tied them up tightly, and dragged them into the shadows!
"Big brother!"

"Damn pervert!"

"Uuuuuuu..."

The three women only had time to let out a scream before their faces were immediately wrapped in the black cloth. They were dragged away in an instant and disappeared into the shadows of the woods beside the official road.

Yuan Ziping was shocked and tried to chase after him, but the next moment, Fu Qingzhou's hand was on his shoulder. "Don't chase him."

Fu Qingzhou said softly.

Yuan Ziping was startled and turned to look at him.

"You are unarmed. It's too dangerous to go there like this." Fu Qingzhou asked softly, "Can you use a knife?"

Yuan Ziping nodded vigorously.

"Very good, I'll use the bow, you take my knife, and we'll chase together." Fu Qingzhou said, and stuffed the Liyun Knife into Yuan Ziping's hand.

Yuan Ziping didn't hesitate, picked up the knife and chased after him.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, took off the bow and held it in his hand, then walked towards the shadow step by step.

In the pitch-black woods, Yuan Ziping was running wildly in the dense forest, holding a knife.

But there was nothing here except muddy and wet land, broken fallen leaves, and not a single person in sight.

"Where are you?!"

Yuan Ziping stopped and shouted, "Come out!"

“Hehehe…” A gloomy laugh came from the woods: “Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not Wu Yan who died, and I didn’t get the money either. I don’t have any money to give you now.”

"I don't know what you are talking about." Yuan Ziping looked around and said in a deep voice: "Hand him over immediately and I will spare your life!"

"Hehehe..."

The laughter in the woods said, "Don't think I don't know. You were the one who spread the news, right? Besides you, who else could have known that the woman was in the carriage in the first place?"

Yuan Ziping raised his eyebrows: "Don't insult me ​​with empty words!"

"Don't worry, that Hidden Dragon Fu Qingzhou is not here." The voice in the woods said faintly, "I'll tell you straight, one of these three women is the disciple of Qingsongzi of Wuwei Temple, and the other is the disciple of Baihe Zhenren of Ziqi Xianfeng Temple. I dare not offend them, so I will not touch them. I only want Wu Yan's woman."

"Since you are the one who brought the news, I won't let you down... Take these two women away first, and let Fu Qingzhou be grateful to you. After the matter is done, I will give you something else."

Yuan Ziping listened to these words and sneered: "Don't give me that! I'll say it again, I have no intention of betraying you! Since you also know the background of the young master and the young lady, just hand them over honestly to avoid getting into trouble!"

"..."

The voice in the woods was silent for a moment, then became curious and confused: "It's really not you? Then who else could it be?"

Yuan Ziping did not answer any more, but suddenly locked onto a direction, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he raised his knife and slashed forward!

His swordsmanship originated from the military. It was not the kind of exquisite and varied swordsmanship, but it was extremely domineering and fierce. Once the sword was swung, the sword wind was whistling!
click!
The small tree closest to him immediately broke into pieces, revealing a figure behind it.

Yuan Ziping snorted, raised his knife and swung it fiercely.

The figure flashed slightly, and moved as fast as lightning. While dodging the blade sideways, he reached out and touched the back of the long sword, and actually grasped the sword easily. Yuan Ziping was stunned and wanted to pull his hand back, but he couldn't.

"Old Yuan, it's me."

The figure spoke, and it turned out to be Fu Qingzhou.

Yuan Ziping was stunned.

"Sorry." Fu Qingzhou smiled and walked out of the shadows: "I have to be careful."

Yuan Ziping was also a smart man. His eyes flashed and he immediately understood: "That just now..."

"I used some tricks." Fu Qingzhou said frankly, "I think the news spread too quickly and too strangely. The most likely possibility is that you spread the news when you went upstairs to pick up our luggage. So I had no choice but to give you a try."

Yuan Ziping smiled helplessly: "Young Master..."

"If you think I'm not kind to others and turn around and leave, I have nothing to say." Fu Qingzhou smiled: "But I'm really worried if I don't try this time."

"You are too kind, sir."

Yuan Ziping heaved a sigh of relief, held the Cloud-Splitting Blade flat with both hands, and handed it over: "Since the ladies are fine, that's great. Sir, you should be cautious... But without the carriage, we will be in trouble."

"It's okay." Fu Qingzhou took the knife with a smile: "The carriage will make us too conspicuous... So, I let someone else drive the carriage away."

"H-Hurry?" Yuan Ziping was stunned again: "Isn't the carriage destroyed? The horse is dead too?"

"The horse is innocent, how can you kill it? Besides, we spent a lot of money to buy the carriage."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes: "It's just a little illusion."

As he was speaking, Qiu Chan and Tang Jiao also walked out from the shadows behind him, smiling. Tang Jiao was holding Zhu Mei, who had a bewildered look on her face.

"But……"

Yuan Ziping looked at them, still a little confused: "In this case, all the killers are heading for the carriage...but who can stop those killers?"

Fu Qingzhou curled his lips: "An old man who is still quite capable."

At this moment, on the official road in the distance, an empty carriage was speeding forward, and in the carriage, a jade pendant was lying quietly.
