Chapter 57 tempering
Ding Ding Ding!
There was a series of light noises; that was the sound of a female swordsman deftly blocking the incoming arrows.

Amid the cheers of others, she leaned forward, her sword flying like a shadow, aiming at her opponent's throat.

Her opponent is naturally Fu Qingzhou.

His eyes lit up slightly, and he stopped drawing arrows from the quiver. Instead, he used his longbow as a stand to block the longsword.

The female swordsman in front of him seemed to be a well-known female hero in Shu, named Wu Honglan. She was pretty and heroic, and had many admirers. At this moment, she swung her sword along the bowstring and poked at Fu Qingzhou's bow hand, forcing him to drop the bow and retreat, which brought her cheers.

"Great! Stab that bastard with a sword!" someone laughed.

Some people also saw Fu Qingzhou suddenly bend down and dive, and hurriedly reminded: "Be careful!"

But in a flash, Fu Qingzhou bent his knees, spun on the ground, and quickly came behind Wu Honglan and hugged her waist.

"Pervert!" Someone cursed loudly upon seeing this.

But Wu Honglan's face tightened - she could clearly feel the other person's hands locking her waist tightly like an iron clamp, making her unable to move.

She wanted to stab backwards with her sword, but her feet were already in the air and she fell backwards suddenly!

Back step, sneak up, hug the waist and throw over the back!

Fu Qingzhou had learned this move in his previous life, but this move was very demanding on one's physical fitness. After all, he was not a martial artist in his previous life, so he couldn't use it at all. However, it didn't stop him from excitedly fighting with imaginary enemies in his mind while watching WWE on TV.

Now that his martial arts had been opened to the fourth level and his internal energy was flowing freely, all aspects of his physical qualities had been greatly improved, and he could perform this move with ease.

With a bang, Wu Honglan fell heavily to the ground face up and couldn't catch his breath for a long time.

Fu Qingzhou grinned and quickly stood up, kicking the sword out of her hand: "Sorry, I won."

"You bastard!"

Someone on the side yelled, "How can you be so ruthless!"

There were so many people agreeing with him that Fu Qingzhou was almost drowned in saliva for a while.

He didn't care and shrugged: "This female swordsman's swordsmanship is exquisite and agile. I am no match for her. I can only use some weird moves."

Wu Honglan shook his head and slowly got up from the ground, still feeling a little dizzy. He picked up the sword in a daze, clasped his fists, then left with a sigh.

While they were making so much noise, the escort caravan ahead had already advanced slowly for some distance, and those who had been delayed due to the sparring hurriedly caught up.

At the front of the convoy, someone frowned beside Xiong Shao and asked, "Captain Escort, do we have such an escort? Why did you let him fight? And you said that if he wins, he can enter our camp... What if something goes wrong?"

Xiong Shao was too lazy to explain and waved his hand: "It's none of your business, just do your own thing."

He could see that this boy was most likely Long Dabei's disciple...

The master gave his apprentice a test task, what does it have to do with us?

As for whether they would be in trouble after entering the camp? If they were, that would be the best! By killing Long Dabei, the crisis that had been hanging over the Changqing Escort Agency for the past thirty years could be resolved.

On the other side, someone else came to find Fu Qingzhou.

"Boy."

The man who came was Kua Ye. He drew out his scimitar with a smile and said, "Let me try it with you."

The appearance of the masters from Wan Du Mountain naturally attracted a lot of attention, and immediately more people gathered.

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, tightened the bowstring again, and smiled at him: "Come."

Kua Ye is at the fifth level of Wuqiao and his swordsmanship is quite extraordinary. Previously, he was quite dashing when fighting against his fellow disciples in front of the Phoenix Blood Pool.

Although he was not as powerful as the assassin from Xiyu Pavilion named Wu Yan, he was able to repel dozens of fellow disciples who were not much weaker than him, which showed how powerful he was. Now he took a deep breath, suppressed the surge of internal energy to the fourth level, and immediately attacked!
His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, much stronger than Meng Zhugang whom Fu Qingzhou had seen before. Fu Qingzhou had just pulled out the arrow when the scimitar came to his head!

This knife is not only fast, but also fierce.

Fu Qingzhou could clearly feel the energy pulling from the knife. He could even imagine that no matter how he dodged, the knife would be able to catch up with him in a very short time.

So he simply didn't avoid it, but tilted the longbow slightly and stabbed forward with the bow tip as the tip!
An inch longer is an inch stronger; a longbow is longer than a scimitar.

There was a hint of amusement in Kuaye's eyes. He changed the scimitar's chopping into a slashing motion, blocked the longbow horizontally, and then stretched out his foot in the air.

With a bang, a big footprint hit Fu Qingzhou's chest, and he flew backwards and fell to the ground.

"Cough cough cough..."

Amidst the cheers, he covered his chest and coughed softly as he stood up: "You won."

Kuaye smiled and played with the scimitar, then sheathed it and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Fu Qingzhou's defeat was not unfair. This guy was probably the best disciple among the younger generation in Wandu Mountain. He had only been in martial arts for less than a month. Facing Kua Ye, he had no chance of winning and couldn't even find a chance to use any weird moves.

But soon, Kwaye also spoke frankly: "You are not good at close combat with a bow and arrow, and you don't even have a short sword... Once someone gets close to you, the longbow can't cut, slash, or smash. If not for this, you wouldn't be defeated so quickly."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "If my martial arts skills are strong enough, I can still fight even if I have a bamboo stick or a piece of tofu in my hand."

Quaye shook his head and asked, "So, the previous promise still counts? I can come and go as I please tonight...your Changqing Escort Agency camp?"

"Nature counts."

Fu Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "But it's only for you. Don't bring all your fellow apprentices in."

Kua Ye smiled and said, "Okay, okay. I'll ask them to challenge you later."

Fu Qingzhou was not afraid: "Come on, but don't do it in a round-robin manner. Let me rest when I need to."

His carefree and open attitude also won praise from many of the surrounding martial artists. A big man holding two axes came forward and threw the axes aside while speaking: "Young man, you are a good man! I won't take advantage of you. Let's not use weapons, we can fight with bare hands!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Sure, come on."

People came to challenge him one after another, and the speed of the entire escort team, including the three tail cars behind, was gradually slowed down.

He would fight three or two games, then take a short break and continue fighting, from day to dusk, with some wins and some losses.

But overall, we lose more than we win.

Many of these seemingly insignificant, ordinary-looking people in the martial arts world are actually experts who have been fighting in the martial arts world for many years. They may not be as good as Kua Ye in terms of martial arts skills, but they all have their own fierce and deadly moves when fighting.

Fu Qingzhou only has those three or two weird tricks that he uses over and over again. Maybe they can surprise people at the beginning, but they will naturally be cracked if they are used too much.

So as they set up camp at night, they could see many people carrying their bags and swaggering into the Changqing Escort Agency camp in the envious eyes of others.

This place is still next to the official road and is an open area.

The camps of Changqing Escort Agency and Bai Kepeng's soldiers not far away were the largest, but the people from Wandu Mountain and the Jianghu were not very good at setting up camp. They just made a few fires and prepared to sleep on the ground at night.

Kua Ye naturally entered the escort agency camp as well. He brought two Miao people who had won the challenge and strode to Fu Qingzhou's side. He asked bluntly, "Which tent is Long Dabei in?"

Fu Qingzhou had gone through a day of challenges and was so tired that his hands and feet were weak. He was leaning on a big rock and eating dry food.

Hearing the question, he said seriously: "Don't go, you will die."
