Daming: Internship also counts as work experience

Chapter 184 Escape from Death
Before Gao Yuntian could even process Jia Chuan's seemingly random remark, the man panicked for a moment, as if he understood the implication, and subconsciously replied, "He's just a little slow-witted..."

"The ability to tear a person apart, in your eyes it's just... being stupid?"

The man was stunned. He had known since noon that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had entered the city. He had hesitated about whether to leave. He stayed to gather information. He had been very uneasy since the alley was sealed off, but he had a firm belief that no one could find them hiding here. It was very safe here. He sorted out who in the Herb Gathering Bureau might still be alive, and who might have betrayed them... In the end, those people knew very little. The people who were really involved had already left. At most, they only knew about the alley.

Only the old man and Tang Hu knew who had contacted them, and in their view, even if they failed, they still had a chance to escape unscathed, so they never thought that the two of them would be arrested beforehand.

Although there is no accurate information on whether the two are dead or alive, this person deduces that they are doomed. The reason is simple: these two are not ordinary people. The herb gathering area has many open spaces, and the Imperial Guards and Prince's guards are mostly scattered. Moreover, no one knew in advance that someone would enter the herb gathering area to launch a sneak attack. He does not know what happened at the time, but he knows that even if things did not go as expected, unless the two died by accident, no one could stop them.

Having figured all this out, the man finally settled down at the pharmacy. However, after the alley was sealed off, no one entered to search it. For the past few days, the man had been puzzled, but now he finally understood that they were just using the alley to keep him at bay.

This man was able to remain on the front lines because he was intelligent and quick-witted. Even with the Imperial Guards right in front of him, he could calmly think of a way to deal with them. As long as he could hold them off, he would find an opportunity to order Anu to take him away. Not to mention the backyard wall, even the city wall was just a decoration in front of Anu.

To everyone's surprise, Jia Chuan suddenly blurted out, "They even know about this?" The man's heart began to pound.

The man nervously tried to move a few steps closer to his own people, forcing himself to remain calm as he said, "I don't know what you're talking about! The common people can't fight with officials. If you've taken bribes from your colleagues and are determined to kill me..."

Jia Chuan pointed at him and shouted, "Don't move! If you move again, I'll make sure you're pierced by a thousand arrows!"

The man was too scared to move.

Jia Chuan then said, "Don't joke around. You can't get the Embroidered Uniform Guard to come to your industry. When you were testing medicines in the herb-collecting bureau, you used these people you mentioned. Now you know how to pretend to be them?"

Gao Yuntian could immediately see the panic on the man's face.

Jia Chuan snorted and said, "It seems you knew this was a capital offense, and you were thinking of being absolutely certain of success. With Buddha's light shining upon you, there was no reason for you to be discovered..."

"You, you're making false accusations! Do you have any evidence? We have absolutely no connection with the Herb Gathering Bureau!"

"You dare to carry this with you, don't you know that's the biggest evidence? The four people he tore apart were all pharmacy employees, right? When he gets angry, you can't stop him."

Upon hearing that this was true, Tang Hu stepped forward to examine the abnormal man, then whispered to Jia Chuan, "If I hit him, whether he lives or dies, you will let me leave?"

"Here'll give you your travel expenses back, but remember, never let him bleed!"

The man's mind was disturbed by Jia Chuan's words. He felt that all the secrets he had kept had been revealed by the young man in front of him. How could he not panic? He had originally planned to control the pace and create an opportunity for Anu to help him escape, but before he could create the opportunity, the other man no longer wanted to waste words with him. By the time he reacted, Tang Hu was already in front of him. With a shove, he was sent flying. Before he could even feel the pain beyond the terror after falling to the ground, Gao Yuntian was already in front of him.

"Take his chin off." Jia Chuan didn't even glance in their direction; he was worried that Tang Hu wouldn't be a match for that freak.

Gao Yuntian immediately took action, and then the Imperial Guards stepped forward and tied the man up tightly.

As Tang Hu reached out to pry the man away, Anu also made her move. With just one move, Tang Hu immediately knew that Jia Chuan had not lied to him. He probably couldn't beat this man. He even found that he couldn't look the man in the eye. The ferocity in the man's eyes was something he had never seen before, and it inexplicably made him feel a little scared.

That night, Tang Hu didn't actually make a move, as Jia Chuan witnessed. Now, Tang Hu was having a difficult time dealing with the situation. With each move, Tang Hu would leave a dent under his feet. If there were more torches, perhaps the dust would be visible.

The courtyard wasn't small, and it was probably used for drying clothes on weekdays. At this moment, Jia Chuan and the others stood at the entrance of the courtyard, while a group of Imperial Guards stood in several corners holding torches. The few people who had been driven out of the house by the smoke had now surrendered, and the courtyard was completely handed over to these two.

This was the first time Jia Chuan had ever felt his breathing become unstable while others were fighting, as if the two men's every move could stir up the air currents in the courtyard.

Meng Jun and Hai Feng were both dumbfounded. They had heard Chen Mo say how powerful this bald man was, but they only believed him to some extent. Now that they saw it for themselves, they realized that Chen Mo's words were true. The two of them couldn't help but imagine whether they would still be alive if they had been there before.
Gao Yuntian's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but whisper, "You were right. Even if Duoduo and I joined forces, we might not be able to hurt him. Look at him, he's not as tall as that big guy, but he's very agile. Every palm strike he makes is powerful and deadly. If he gets his hands on him, no matter where he is, a piece of his body will be torn off..."

"I don't need your explanation," Jia Chuan said irritably.

"If you ask me," Chen Mo whispered in Jia Chuan's ear, "let's fire the arrows. Neither of these two can be captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Tang Hu, I want to stay." After saying that, Jia Chuan turned his head and whispered a few words to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo walked towards the courtyard wall, when Jia Chuan suddenly shouted, "Protector Tang! Get down and come back here!"

Tang Hu instinctively fell to one side, and arrows immediately came flying towards Anu. Tang Hu tried to roll away, but he was too big and not very agile. Anu didn't care about the arrows at all, only thinking about tearing the person in front of him apart. When he saw Tang Hu fall, he quickly pounced on him, which allowed him to avoid the first volley of arrows.

"Gao Yuntian, use your iron ruler to lure him away!" Jia Chuan shouted urgently.

Anu had already grabbed Tang Hu's arm.

Gao Yuntian flew up, and just as Anu was about to exert force, the iron ruler struck Anu's back. The iron ruler was powerful and heavy, and even though Anu had thick skin, she still grimaced in pain. Naturally, the force in her hand loosened a bit. In just that instant, Tang Hu broke free from Anu, but his arm, which had been gripped by Anu, was still injured.

He couldn't help but shout, "What is this thing?!"

"Two heroes who know martial arts are unstoppable," Jia Chuan muttered.

Gao Yuntian struck with an iron ruler and quickly fled. Anu's anger was now ignited. Tang Hu seemed to sense that anger, and his body became nimble, rolling away swiftly.

The second wave of arrows rained down on Anu. At this moment, Jia Chuan understood why that man hadn't been interested in the archers on the two walls. This guy seemed to be able to teleport; the word "fast" couldn't even begin to describe his speed. He didn't grab Tang Hu, who was rolling on the ground, but ran straight to Gao Yuntian. Basically, Gao Yuntian had barely stood up when he arrived.

As for the arrows, none of them hit him.

Gao Yuntian was shocked and subconsciously retreated while swinging his iron ruler. Perhaps because he was genuinely afraid, Gao Yuntian's iron ruler was not as fierce as before.

Anu's five fingers spread like eagle claws, and her arms swung with a powerful force. Not only could the iron ruler not get close, but even Gao Yuntian himself had to be careful not to have his arms grabbed by Anu. He could only jump and hop around, yelling and screaming...

Anu was also anxious. He couldn't understand how these people seemed to know what he was going to do, and how they all dodged so perfectly. The more they did so, the more he wanted to tear the people in front of him apart immediately.

Gao Yuntian watched helplessly as Anu's eyes turned crimson.

If Jia Chuan knew Gao Yuntian, he could imagine that Gao Yuntian was probably imagining those unseen pieces of corpse. Fortunately, Tang Hu had already stood up, and Jia Chuan turned around, drew Lu Baihu's knife, and handed it to Tang Hu.

Tang Hu didn't ask anything; he took the knife and rushed towards Anu.

Anu's mental state was indeed not quite normal, but he was by no means stupid. He heard a noise behind him, and Gao Yuntian also saw Tang Hu coming. He only saw him out of the corner of his eye and did not actually look over, but his hand still paused slightly. In less than a blink of an eye, he was caught by Anu. Yes, Anu grabbed the iron ruler. Immediately afterward, Gao Yuntian took off and flew towards Tang Hu.

"Fire arrows!"

Just as Gao Yuntian, with Anu's force, smashed Tang Hu down, Chen Mo shouted.

This time, Anu couldn't completely dodge the rain of arrows, and he saw blood.

Jia Chuan thought to himself, "Oh no!" Anu had already drifted to the side of the courtyard wall. The archers were so frightened that they didn't have time to escape, and the courtyard wall was knocked down by Anu.

"Tang Hu! Cut him down!"

Jia Chuan felt that Anu would crash down the other side of the courtyard wall in the next second. He wanted Tang Hu to stop her for a moment, but after shouting loudly, Anu was already in front of him in the next second. Chen Mo swung his knife and slashed. Hai Feng and Meng Jun saw that it was not good to stand by and watch, so they also drew their knives and slashed at Anu.

"This is not scientific!" Jia Chuan muttered.

The three men's knives were like needles to Anu. If Meng Jun and Hai Feng hadn't been skilled, Chen Mo would probably have been torn apart by now. Fortunately, Tang Hu arrived in time with his knife. Anu was fighting four against one. Although Tang Hu had an injured arm, who hasn't been driven to desperation? Judging from Tang Hu's ruthlessness, he probably forgot about his injury. A moment later, Gao Yuntian also arrived.

Jia Chuan stood still, not because he didn't want to move, but because he didn't have time to think about it. He couldn't understand how this person could be so strong with three arrows sticking out of his body. Wouldn't that cause some inconvenience?
These five people combined are enough to overpower those old masters at Hanwang Manor... Oh, no, those old guys all have internal energy, so these five are useless.

Thinking this way, Jia Chuan felt a little better. He needed to find the characteristics that made Anu human; just looking at the red bloodstains on her body wasn't enough. Jia Chuan rubbed his face. He knew that this situation wouldn't last long; he didn't know who would be the first to fall victim to it...

It's very likely Gao Yuntian. Just that roller coaster ride just now, Gao's soul must have been scared away several times. This is different from him flying out on his own. Jia Chuan anxiously watched the battle unfold, trying to find Anu's weakness. He discovered that Anu was not only strong, but also seemed to have no pain receptors. Gao Yuntian's iron ruler hit him several times, and he seemed to have no reaction. However, he was hit by arrows, and any large-scale movement would definitely aggravate the wounds, and the blood would flow uncontrollably. How painful would that be?

Moreover, Tang Hu currently has a knife in his hand. Others cannot hurt Anu, but Anu cannot dodge Tang Hu's knife. However, none of them can be injured in vital areas. The other four people are distracting Anu, and he seems to be trying to figure out who is the weakest, which gives Tang Hu the opportunity to make his move.

Jia Chuan saw that Anu had been stabbed twice, but Anu was visibly becoming more and more excited.

He was sick, but Jia Chuan had no medicine.

Unless the bleeding stops...

Thinking of this, Jia Chuan turned his head to ask Commander Lu to summon the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but when he turned his head, Commander Lu was nowhere to be seen.
Lu Baihu's knife was currently in Tang Hu's hands. Was he afraid that without a weapon, he would be more easily torn apart?
Jia Chuan stamped his foot. He didn't know if the Imperial Guards in the courtyard would obey his orders. Just as he was about to try, he saw Anu finally grab Gao Yuntian's arm. At that moment, Anu's face showed the ecstatic joy of impending success. Jia Chuan was so frightened that his soul ran away, and he just crashed straight into the air.

Even if it only stops Anu for a moment, perhaps a miracle will happen...

Miracles do happen.

Anu seemed to like the 'prey' that had come to him even more. He immediately released Gao Yuntian, and even when Chen Mo's knife slashed his arm and Tang Hu's knife was already piercing his body, Anu did not let go of Jia Chuan.

Jia Chuan felt blood splatter on his face, then his arm throbbed with pain, and then his feet left the ground. He saw dazzling stars, like a dream. How could stars be so dazzling?
Is this how my life ends? Well, at least it wasn't a wasted trip. At least... will my name be recorded in history? If I could go back, I'd have to investigate properly...

Suddenly, Jia Chuan felt a sharp pain in his ear. He thought his body should be aching, so why was his ear hurting? Then he felt himself being thrown to the ground. Had they separated? But why did the ground feel cold to him?
"Yuanyuan! Why did you take so long to get here!"

As Gao Yuntian cried out in a sobbing, trembling voice, Jia Chuan finally realized that the stinging pain in his ear was from Dong Yuanyuan's shout, and that he was still alive.

Thinking that he was still alive, and recalling Gao Yuntian's words just now, Jia Chuan felt that something was wrong. They even had time to chat?

Jia Chuan mustered all his strength and quickly sat up. Looking into the courtyard, he saw Dong Yuanyuan lying on top of Anu, or more precisely, on her torso. Anu's head had rolled to the side. Tang Hu, holding a bloodstained knife, was panting heavily and standing next to the bleeding cavity of Anu's torso.
