Chapter 137: Can't Escape, Can't Beat

This time, Fu Qingzhou did not sleep for long, nor did he need anyone to rescue him.

When he slowly woke up, it was not even noon.

"Brother Fu!"

Seeing him open his eyes, Yue Heng was overjoyed and quickly handed him a bowl of water: "Hurry, drink some water!"

Fu Qingzhou sat up with his help, took a sip of cold water, and suddenly realized something: "Where did you get the water from?"

"Hey, walk east from here for more than a mile and there is a stream."

Yue Heng smiled and patted his injured leg: "My leg has gotten much better in the past two days. I went to get some water this morning."

Fu Qingzhou looked down and saw that his clothes on his chest and cuffs were all covered with mud, and his shoes were covered with yellow mud. He guessed that he had fallen several times during this trip.

He was touched in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "That's good."

"Brother Fu, are you okay?" Yue Heng became worried again: "You guys fought like that last night, I saw you were covered in blood..."

"It doesn't matter."

Fu Qingzhou said this as he tore open his clothes.

Most of the sword wounds Wu Yan had left on his body last night had already scabbed over.

The Qi Ran Jue was too powerful. Not to mention fighting, just the ability to heal wounds and relieve pain was enough to dominate the world. No wonder Long Dabei was already so powerful at such a young age.

"I was just exhausted last night." He laughed, "The killer was more seriously injured than me."

Yue Heng was overjoyed: "That's great! Brother Fu, let's escape from this dilapidated temple today?"

Fu Qingzhou raised an eyebrow.

This is indeed a solution. Wu Yan was so badly injured, but Yue Heng's leg was almost healed. If he could just take him and run away, Wu Yan wouldn't be able to catch up...

As soon as he thought of this, he became alert and looked suddenly outside the ruined temple.

Because of the fight between the two last night, the originally shaky gate of the dilapidated temple has been completely destroyed, and the outside of the temple is clearly visible. Fu Qingzhou's gaze passed through the gaps in the dense forest and fell hundreds of steps away.

In the forest, Wu Yan's vague silhouette stopped under a big tree, and he seemed to be eating something, but his calm and indifferent eyes were extremely clear, looking at Fu Qingzhou from a distance.

"Grass!"

Fu Qingzhou cursed.

Yue Heng was confused: "What's wrong, Brother Fu?"

"That guy didn't leave." Fu Qingzhou said unhappily, "He's still staring at us."

Yue Heng was horrified: "How is this possible! You hurt him so badly!"

Fu Qingzhou couldn't answer either.

If it were an ordinary person, even with the blessing of martial arts training, the broken ribs, the iron arrow piercing the chest, and other major and minor injuries combined would require him to stay in bed for at least half a month before he could move.

But Wu Yan is a complete cockroach, and he can even eat?
This guy probably also has some powerful pain-relieving and healing skills.

Or, it could be that their Xiyu Pavilion has some special elixir that allows him to endure the pain and continue fighting for a long time.

“Brother Fu, even if he follows, it should be okay, right?”

At this time, Yue Heng rolled his eyes and said, "You were able to defeat him last night. Even if he managed to hold on until tonight, he would be at the end of his strength. What do we have to be afraid of?"

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "No, I can't beat him."

Yue Heng was stunned.

"Last night I used some special method to forcibly improve my combat effectiveness."

Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly and said softly, "But I dare not use that method again. It will make me lose my mind and may even kill you... But that killer is different. I suspect that when he comes again tonight, his fighting power will not be much weaker than last night."

Yue Heng scratched his head. "Should we just run away?" He asked tentatively, "He's seriously injured anyway. The nearest town is only 20 to 30 miles away. Once we get to the town, he won't be so easy to kill."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head again.

"Brother Yue, I'm not trying to discourage you, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that this road does not work."

He said slowly, "The horse I rode ran away on the first night. If we want to escape, we can only walk. After all, your leg injury has not healed yet. It will take me a long time to take you to the nearby town. By then, you and I will be exhausted both physically and mentally. How can we deal with the pursuit?"

"Secondly, having too many people in the town would be troublesome. You don't know if the killer will disguise himself as a waiter at the inn or a passerby on the street... If we are careless, both you and I will die. A place with too many people would give the killer more room to maneuver. It's better to stay here."

At this point, Fu Qingzhou added: "At least here, except for you and me, anyone who comes close is an enemy. I don't have to spend extra time guessing whether they are good people or bad people."

Yue Heng nodded slightly: "Brother Fu is still very thoughtful..."

But soon, his face turned sad again: "But now we can't escape or fight, what should we do?"

"Um……"

Fu Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yue, you stay here. I will go meet the killer."

Yue Heng was startled, but quickly calmed down: "Then Brother Fu, be careful."

Fu Qingzhou smiled, stood up, and slowly walked out of the temple.

Despite a night's sleep, he was still a little weak - this weakness was more due to the impact and struggle of Yiran and Qiran's two secrets in his body, which made his meridians, tendons and bones ache slightly, as if his whole body was indiscriminately hammered by a thousand-pound hammer.

After passing through the dense forest, he soon arrived in front of Wu Yan.

Wu Yan was still wearing the red dress, but he didn't know when he changed out of the torn clothes from last night and got a new, identical red dress.

He sat on the ground leaning against a big tree, with a rapier inserted beside him. He held a big meat pie in his hand and ate it very seriously.

The new clothes covered the wounds on his body. Fu Qingzhou could not judge to what extent his injuries had healed, but judging from the color of blood on his face, it seemed that the impact was not significant.

"Don't you want to find a place to rest?"

He came about five steps in front of Wu Yan and found a tree to lean against lazily.

Wu Yan looked up at him and said calmly, "You will escape."

"Hehe..." Fu Qingzhou smiled wryly: "You Xiyu Pavilion has so many people, why not send a few to follow us? You are already so injured, why bother?"

Wu Yan didn't hesitate and said bluntly: "The cabinet only sent sixteen people this time. The first fifteen were killed by you last night. Now I am the only one left."

Fu Qingzhou asked curiously, "Why not send a few more?"

"The compensation given by the employer is only enough to mobilize us." Wu Yan said calmly.

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could this be misleading?
"No need to inquire, no need to doubt, I never lie." Wu Yan saw his thoughts and said calmly, "Even if I'm alone, I can still kill you tonight."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "So confident?"

"Your condition was worse than mine last night." Wu Yan said calmly, "But I think you will still shoot that arrow... and the mission will fail."

"You will not make the same choice tonight. This way, the probability of mission success will be much higher than last night."

Listening to his words, Fu Qingzhou's eyes turned slightly cold.

What a calm and scary killer.

"Are you so confident?" he asked softly, "What if you fail?"

“I never miss.”

Wu Yan said calmly: "Besides, I don't have the habit of chatting with the mission targets. In my eyes, you are nothing but dead bodies."

"Go ahead. See you tonight." He bit off a piece of meat pie and chewed it, and said vaguely, "Don't disturb me while I'm eating."
