Wei Changtian is not dead yet, but it seems that he is not far away from death.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, except for the ape demon who was chasing after him with red eyes, ready to deal the final blow to the ant that had just slashed it countless times.
It roared and jumped into the air, raising its fists high. The power contained in it was enough to smash Wei Changtian and Xu Qingwan who were pressed under him into a pulp.
Zhou Cheng stared at this scene with wide eyes, and the lancet in his hand trembled slightly.
He didn't understand why Wei Changtian did this.
If he didn't block it, Xu Qingwan would be the only one killed.
If you block it, both of them will die.
Do heroes save beauties?
But even if your life is on the line, what’s the point?
What's more, it failed to save Xu Qingwan in the end. At best, it only allowed her to live a few more breaths.
Zhou Cheng didn't understand.
Xu Qingwan didn't understand either.
And the ape demon didn't leave her time to think about this problem.
Looking at the dark demonic figure above her head, she only had time to make the most instinctive reaction.
She wanted to block the punch for Wei Changtian, even if she couldn't.
He hugged the man in his arms tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth to hold back the severe pain in his chest, and prepared to turn over and press Wei Changtian under him.
But at this moment, a bloody palm pushed her back again.
"you!"
Xu Qingwan was lying on her back, only a few inches away from the blood-stained face.
Seeing Wei Changtian's facial features distorted by pain, she suddenly felt distressed.
It was even more distressing than taking away all the money she had worked so hard to save.
A tear rolled down the corner of his eye, which was soon stained red by blood.
This is the first time Xu Qingwan has cried since she started practicing martial arts at the age of five, and it may also be the last time she will cry in her life.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
And when it started to pass again, Wei Changtian actually stood up little by little in the astonished eyes of everyone.
"Canglang..."
The lancet on Xu Qingwan's waist was unsheathed again.
However, compared to the time in Zhang Mansion, Wei Changtian's movements were very slow this time.
Panting heavily, he looked up at the ape demon who had fallen halfway down.
"Get away!!"
Xu Qingwan shouted loudly from behind.
But the figure standing in front of her turned a deaf ear.
The trembling knees were slightly bent, and the tip of the lancet was raised upward.
Wei Changtian paused for a moment, then used all his strength to move towards the ape demon.
"Fuck you!! Go to hell!!!"
"Hoo! Hoo!!!"
A man and a monster roared and collided in mid-air. The sudden burst of air waves stirred up countless dust and gravel, which stayed for a long time.
"boom!!"
In the dust and smoke, Wei Changtian flew back like a broken sack, hit the ground hard, bounced up, and fell again. Finally, he lay motionless on the ground.
As for the ape demon... the long knife pierced its entire head, even the hilt was not even halfway in.
"Plop!"
The demon body suddenly fell to the ground, and there was a blood mist in the air.
But Xu Qingwan didn't even look at it.
She crawled to Wei Changtian's side on her hands and knees, and took out the medicine bottle from her arms and prepared to give medicine regardless of whether the latter was dead or alive.
But maybe because his hands were shaking too much, the small medicine bottle accidentally slipped from his palm, and the pills in it were scattered all over the floor.
Xu Qingwan bit her lip tightly, knelt on the ground and hurriedly picked up the pills. Every time she picked up one, she hurriedly turned around and fed it to Wei Changtian's mouth.
"You, you can't die..."
"You lost my knife again. You, you have to compensate me..."
"Please...don't die..."
…
…
An hour later, the main street of Shanyang County.
It was noon at this time, and there were many stalls selling steamed buns and pancakes on the street. Most of the clerks from nearby shops spent a few pennies to have lunch here.
It can be said that this street is the busiest and most crowded time of the day.
But at this moment, there seemed to be some commotion at the east end of the street.
Many people looked up curiously, and then heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from far and near.
"The Xuanjing Department is handling the case!!"
"Make way!! Make way!!"
"Those who stand in the way can be killed according to the law!!"
"Everyone get out of the way!"
On a large maroon horse, Zhou Cheng held up the hanging mirror commander sign with one hand and kept slapping the horse's belly with his legs. Wherever he went, crowds hurriedly hid on both sides of the road and gave way to a passage with frightened faces.
He was followed closely by more than a dozen cavalry magistrate soldiers, guarding a speeding carriage.
For a time, the whole main street was in chaos.
Although most of the people were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything at this time. At most, they could only discuss with friends who was on the carriage or what big event had happened.
But these things are still too far away from their lives after all.
After everyone in Zhou Cheng ran away roaring, the main street quickly returned to its lively scene, as if nothing had happened.
This is not rigorous.
Some people are actually somewhat affected.
Just like a fat man selling steamed buns, he was cursing at the empty spaces in the basket for no apparent reason.
These places used to have buns, but now they don’t.
It was obvious that someone had just taken advantage of the chaos and stolen it.
"Bah! Steal a few buns!"
"Giving birth to a child without an asshole! No! Such a person should have no descendants!"
"Xuanjing Division, hum! If you have the skills to show off your power, why not catch a few more thieves..."
The man's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he didn't dare to continue speaking, but instead transferred his anger to the dough in his hand.
He kneaded the dough vigorously a few times, then raised it high and dropped it heavily on the chopping board.
"Snapped!"
"Dear guests! In our last letter, we mentioned that this white-faced scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, but when he went to a mountain forest, he encountered heavy rain..."
In a restaurant in the capital, the storyteller held up the gavel tree and dropped it heavily, his mouth fluctuating.
The strange story he told in recent days is called "Yaksha Number One Scholar". It tells the story of a scholar who was eaten by a yaksha on his way to take the exam, and then the yaksha transformed into a scholar to take the exam, and finally won the top prize.
The story is not new, but Lu Jingyao has never heard of it, so she has been listening to it here for four or five days.
Three screens blocked three sides, except for the direction facing the storyteller.
Lu Jingyao sat in the "elegant room" and listened with great interest, while Yuan'er was yawning next to her, thinking about going back to play cards early.
Everything around them was normal, but at a certain moment, the two women suddenly frowned at the same time.
"Yuan'er, I just felt flustered for no reason."
"Yeah! Madam, me too!"
"Ah? What's going on?"
"I don't know either... Could it be that something happened to the young master?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Stop talking nonsense!"
Lu Jingyao stretched out her hand and hit Yuan'er, then patted her chest gently, and then she felt a little more comfortable.
At this time, the storyteller was talking about the scholar who was eaten by Yaksha, and suddenly there was a noise outside the screen.
Everyone felt sorry for the scholar, but no one noticed that there was an ordinary-looking young man lingering outside Lu Jingyao's screen.
