Chapter 497 Experienced Hand
Wu Yan’s cane is certainly not an ordinary cane.
The bottom of the cane, the moment he thrust it out, a sharp sword tip popped out.
Of course this was not his own thing...but the weapon of a Wulizhuang killer he had captured. Wu Yan thought it was pretty good, so he borrowed it.
Anyway, the thin sword he used before was not suitable for chopping and cutting.
The cane suddenly pierced into the bushes, but Wu Yan didn't feel like it was hitting anyone.
There was a very thin rustling sound in the trees, getting farther and farther away from him - it was the person who had just hidden here, retreating quickly.
How could Wu Yan let him go? He chased after him without hesitation!
In the blink of an eye, he got into the dense forest.
The branches and leaves in the dense forest are so dense that it is impossible to clearly see the appearance of the mysterious man. He can only judge his direction based on the subtle disturbance of the branches and leaves.
Wu Yan held his breath and concentrated, his ears catching the extremely subtle sounds, like the sound of wind and birdsong in the mountains and forests. You might miss it if you don't pay attention.
More importantly... you cannot let yourself become the prey of the other party.
What’s interesting is that the direction in which the mysterious man escaped seems to be deliberately avoiding the scope of Wuli Village. It is always on the outer edge of Wuli Village’s maze, neither near nor far.
Wu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly...
This person is probably not the killer of Wuli Village.
Judging from this person's powerful hiding and escaping skills, is he from Xiaoyu Pavilion?
It doesn’t look like that either.
Who is that?
He was thinking in his mind, but his steps did not slow down at all.
Finally, after breaking through a dense forest, a clearing in the mountains suddenly appeared. The sunlight hit Wu Yan's face, allowing him to clearly see the fleeing person in front of him.
The man was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes. He was thin but appeared to be extremely agile.
After seeing the figure clearly, Wu Yan took a breath, the true energy in his body circulated, and his speed increased sharply!
Seeing him approaching, the man in black suddenly stopped, quickly pulled out two short sticks from his waist, and waved to greet him.
Wu Yan was calm, and the cane in his hand instantly turned into sword lights, intertwined with the short stick of the man in black.
The weapons collided, and the man in black immediately grunted and took several steps back.
"Six realms?"
The low voice of surprise from the man in black came from under the black cloth.
Wu Yan was also a little surprised - this man in black was clearly from the fifth realm.
But the stealth skills he just showed, especially the lightness skills when escaping... are not weaker than any of the Xiaoyu Pavilion killers!
No, even stronger!
Where did this person come from?
Wu Yan frowned slightly, tightened his cane, and was about to attack again.
But at this moment, the man in black suddenly spread his hands, opened the middle door, and said softly: "Wu Yan... I have no hostility towards you."
Wu Yan's pupils He shrunk, his steps paused, and the tip of the cane stopped less than an inch in front of the man in black's throat.
“Who are you?”
he asked in a low voice.
"A person who met you by chance." The man in black said calmly: "I didn't come here for you."
"But you recognized me." Wu Yan's eyes were solemn.
"Yes."
There was a hint of smile in the man in black's tone: "Your disguise is very good. I didn't recognize you before you took action... But now everyone inside and outside the capital is Killer, how can I not know you?”
"..."
Wu Yan was silent for a moment and slowly took back his cane, but his vigilance and murderous intent did not diminish at all.
But he could indeed feel that the man in black had no murderous intention at this time.
"You are a killer." He said solemnly: "As a killer, you have no hostility towards me, but you are lurking around Wuli Village. What do you want to do?"
"This ...It seems to have nothing to do with you.”
The man in black smiled: "We just met by chance. I'm not curious about your affairs, and you shouldn't be curious about mine."
Wu Yan frowned slightly.
He didn't think so.
If he had encountered this incident in the past, after confirming that this person had nothing to do with him, he would indeed choose to turn around and leave, never asking again.
But now, he is no longer the killer who only cared about killing people in Xiaoyu Pavilion.
A killer with unknown origins who is in the fifth level of martial arts, his hiding and escaping skills are better than most people in Xiaoyu Pavilion. Such a person is also interested in Wuli Village...
Can he become Your own companion?
After a moment of silence, Wu Yan spoke: "You are lurking outside Wuli Village to kill people?"
"Kill people?"
The man in black smiled softly. : "How can I kill their people... Don't ask, I won't tell. Okay, goodbye."
After that, he turned around and left. "We can join forces." Wu Yan suddenly said: "I want to kill someone."
Hearing this, the man in black was obviously startled and turned his head.
"What did you say?" he said in shock.
Wu Yan said calmly: "I said, we can join forces."
"Join forces?" The man in black seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and sneered: "The most dangerous killer in Xiaoyu Pavilion actually wants to find someone to join forces?"
"Even if Xiaoyu Pavilion comes out, It’s not always possible to send one person alone on a mission.” Wu Yan said lightly: “No matter how powerful a person is, he still needs companions.”
“…”
The man in black was silent. Seems to be thinking.
After a moment, he turned back and said lightly: "This... is not impossible."
Wu Yan's eyes brightened slightly.
“But with the strength of you and me, we will definitely not be able to break into Wuli Village and find out its secrets.” The man in black said leisurely: “You are better than me, but you are still far behind.”
Wu Yan tilted his head: "How strong should it be?"
"How strong..."
The man in black pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe, plus You, plus that person, and the people behind him, can really..."
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly raised his head, reached out and pulled off the black mask.
This is a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples. His face is covered with deep and shallow old wounds. Those scars even spread to his neck and to the body covered by clothes.
“It’s fate.”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “I just met your woman not long ago.”
“My woman ?" Wu Yan was startled at first, and then his eyes suddenly tightened: "Zhu Mei!"
"Don't be nervous."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "She is safe - if you join forces with me, you will not only join forces with me."
Wu Yan looked at it blankly. Looking at him.
He is not stupid, he figured it out in the blink of an eye.
At this time, when the middle-aged man suddenly mentioned Zhu Mei, there was only one possibility...
"You know Fu Qingzhou!" Wu Yan blurted out: "You and Fu Qingzhou...are friends?"
"Friends?"
The middle-aged man's eyes darkened and sneered: "No, I He's his elder."
"Fu Qingzhou..." Wu Yan said in a low voice: "Is he also against Wuli Village?"
"So."
The middle-aged man said leisurely: "You will entrust your woman to him, so you must still trust him. How about you come with me and explain this matter?"
Wu Yan was silent.
He actually doesn't like Fu Qingzhou.
When I was a killer, every time I met him, nothing good happened.
But Wu Yan had to admit that this man was far more powerful than he expected.
When they first met, Fu Qingzhou was just a weakling who had just entered the Third Realm on Ten Thousand Poison Mountains and could do nothing.
When we met again, although his strength was not as good as mine, he was able to use his wits to make his mission fail.
When we met for the third time, Fu Qingzhou... had actually surpassed him!
Not only that, he has become the so-called Qianlong, the strongest among the younger generation.
More importantly, this person is a man of great promise, benevolence and virtue, and is a trustworthy person.
If not, Wu Yan would not ask him to protect Zhu Mei.
If we join forces with him...
"Okay."
He said solemnly: "I will go with you to see him."
Middle-aged man ——Tang Min, smiled slightly, nodded.
But just as he was about to turn around and lead the way, a dark laughter suddenly sounded in their ears.
"You can't go anywhere."
