Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 84: Meeting but always helpless
After Wuzhan took the pill, he didn't react at first, but while talking to Wanjiao, he felt his chest becoming more and more stuffy, as if pricking him with needles, and his blood was rushing into his throat. He wanted to suppress it forcibly, but unexpectedly, it came out as soon as he spoke.

Wanjiao hurriedly supported Wuzhan and said, "How could this happen? Is this pill fake?" She was panic-stricken and at a loss.

Wuzhan's face turned pale and he was sweating. He said breathlessly, "Of course this medicine is real, but maybe it's not suitable for me." Wuzhan didn't know whether this medicine was real or not. He said this just because he hoped Wanjiao would give up and stop looking for medicine for him.

Wanjiao was extremely worried. She didn't expect that Wuzhan's condition not only didn't get better after taking the pill, but got worse. She hurriedly took out another bottle of pills and said, "Try this 'Qi Restoring Pill'!" After putting a pill into Wuzhan's mouth, she observed Wuzhan's pulse and found that it was completely disordered.

Wuzhan coughed and asked, "Where did you meet them?"

Wan Jiao said, "They were looking for you everywhere in Jiujiang City. I thought they were looking for you for the Golden Elixir Scripture, so I came to find you without thinking too much."

Wuzhan coughed violently again, and his cuffs were covered in blood. Wanjiao patted Wuzhan on the back, her heart aching and tears welling up in her eyes. She took out a bottle of medicine and said, "Taking this 'Heart Protecting Powder' should protect your heart meridians." She poured the medicine into Wuzhan's mouth and gave him a sip of water to help him swallow it.

Wuzhan's coughing slowed down a bit, and he said weakly, "It's not the medicine's fault. It's probably because my body is almost done. Don't go looking for medicine for me anymore in the future."

Wan Jiao wiped her tears and said, "No, I must cure your illness. If these medicines don't work, I will go find another one."

Wuzhan shook his head and said, "It's useless. Even Senior Xing Tian couldn't save me. How can these elixirs made by mortals save me?" His body was shaking constantly.

Wanjiao held Wuzhan in her arms, and felt his body was cold and hot, his pulse was chaotic, and his breathing was rapid. Wanjiao cried like a child who had made a mistake, "It's all my fault. I made you like this."

Wuzhan's eyes wandered as he spoke intermittently: "How could you harm me? You are the best to me, the food you steal is the most delicious, and the clothes you steal are the most fitting. It's just that God is torturing me. I think if I died, there would be nothing God can do." His voice was so faint that it could not be heard.

Wanjiao burst into tears and said, "You won't die, I must keep you alive!" But no matter how she called out, Wuzhan seemed not to hear her. Her eyes gradually dimmed, and her pulse suddenly became weak, as if she was about to leave this world.

Wanjiao was so heartbroken that she almost went crazy. In desperation, she gave the rest of the pills to Wuzhan, hoping that at least one of them could keep Wuzhan alive.

After taking this medicine, Wuzhan's body seemed to be on fire, burning hot, his whole body trembling violently, his blood boiling, and it seemed that several streams of true energy were roaming around in his body and fighting with each other, trying to tear Wuzhan into pieces.

Wanjiao hugged Wuzhan tightly, crying helplessly, "Don't die, you have to live!"

I don't know how long I cried like this. The crescent moon seemed to be moving away and the trees were sobbing.

Veins popped up all over Wuzhan's body, his inner energy spread out in all directions, and all his hair stood up. Suddenly, he opened his dark eyes, and with a huge force coming from nowhere, he pushed Wanjiao away, jumped up high, and flew more than three meters away, howling towards the sky.

Wanjiao saw that things were not going well, as this was an obvious sign of being possessed by a demon, and shouted, "Come back soon!" She quickly flew up and wanted to hug Wuzhan, but before she could touch Wuzhan, she was blown back by the true energy that burst out from Wuzhan's body.

Wanjiao was shocked by the true energy, and her whole body was about to break. As soon as she landed on the ground, she jumped up again, rushing towards Wuzhan regardless of everything. But this time, she was thrown farther and fell directly to the ground, spitting out blood. Seeing that Wuzhan was about to fall into the devil's way, lose his mind, and die suddenly, she regretted it deeply and wished she could be cut into pieces.

Wuzhan's body continuously burst out with true Qi, rolling out like a mountain torrent bursting its dam. Black light flickered around him, and there were many phantoms. The air around him was crackling. It was impossible for Wanjiao to get close to him.

Wanjiao sat on the ground, shouting at the top of her lungs again and again, "It's all my fault, don't die!"

With a "puff" sound, Wuzhan's body was covered with a flash of light, and his true energy dissipated. He fell to the ground softly. Wanjiao rushed over, hugged Wuzhan, who was out of breath, and cried.

Until I can no longer cry, my tears have dried up, my blood has frozen, the sky is dark, and the stars and moon have lost their light.

……

The thin body held her and desperately circled around under the banyan tree, waving his bleeding arms to block the centipede monster that was much bigger than him. She would never forget that scene. The moment she left, she made up her mind, "If you are still alive, I will repay you with my whole life."

When she found him in the mud, she was so happy that she seemed to feel that this was a gift from God for her to repay.

But why is God so unfair, making him suffer from a terminal illness and not letting him live?

In order to steal the medicine, she hid in a secluded corner for several days and dared not move. She was besieged and hunted by the Taoists. She was seriously injured and escaped death, but in the end, she killed him.

"Why do I feel helpless when we meet? Why do the things I do for him always hurt him?"

……

The night wind has stopped, the barren mountain has returned to loneliness, and the mist has filled the forest without knowing when, bringing gusts of coldness, soaking the motionless figures and unblinking eyes.

"Ahem!" With a light cough, Wuzhe's pulse suddenly began to beat, and his chest rose and fell violently. At this moment, Wanjiao, who was already in complete despair, was suddenly awakened.

Wanjiao burst into tears of joy and shouted urgently, "You are really alive again! You are really alive again!"

Wuzhan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful eyes dripping with tears, and said weakly: "You thought I was an alchemy furnace, you gave me so many medicines that I almost disintegrated."

Wanjiao blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. I harmed you!" Wuzhan's mouth twitched slightly, "Now all my meridians are destroyed. I have become a complete cripple."

Wan Jiao said: "As long as you can live, I will take care of you no matter what you become."

Wuzhan said: "I was lying to you. I feel much better now. Maybe the substances in my body rejected those pills, exhausted my strength, and went into hibernation. They don't have time to torment me anymore."

Wanjiao was surprised and asked, "Is it true?"

Wuzhan said: "Help me up and take a look, won't you know?"

The elixirs of various sects are mostly used for cultivation, which can open up the meridians, enhance internal strength, and improve spiritual energy. Wuzhan had no internal strength at all, and after taking them all at once, how could his body bear it? The raging true energy rolled and struggled in his body, almost turning him into a puddle of mud. At the critical moment, the dark matter in his brain burst out with black power, shattering all the true energy in Wuzhan's body and clearing it out of the body, thus saving Wuzhan's life.

Wuzhan gritted his teeth and stood up. He felt extremely sore all over, and his bones creaked. However, his blood circulation was much smoother. Although his chest hurt, it was not dull. He sighed and said, "Maybe it will take some time to recover. If I can hold on until I finish my work, I will be satisfied."

Wanjiao supported Wuzhan and said, "I'll take you to find a place to rest for a few days!"

Wuzhan said: "Now we need to hurry up and find them both, rush to Shangjun as soon as possible, and rest while we travel."

Wanjiao asked, "Why don't you go to Xianyang to get the five-colored stones, but go to Shangjun for what?"

Wuzhan said slowly, "The five-colored stone is very important to them, and it must be under strict guard. I can't take it back now. I can only serve as an official in the court as soon as possible and then find a way to take it back. Now that the six kingdoms have been destroyed and the world is at peace, it is too difficult to enter the court in one step. Only the Xiongnu in the north and the southern Xinjiang are still harassing the border. If I can find an opportunity, recommend myself, and repel the Xiongnu, I will definitely be reused, and then it will be easy to enter the court."

Wan Jiao thought: "But why don't you join the army, but follow the corvée to build the Great Wall?"

Wuzhan said, "If I join the army, I don't know where I will be assigned. If I choose to do corvée labor, I can only stay on the city wall. Once the Huns come to attack, maybe the opportunity will come. Besides, it is spring now. The Huns have rested for a winter and should have used up all the loot. This is the time for them to attack in large numbers. My father has fought against them for most of his life and knows their habits best."

Wan Jiao said: "Okay, I'll go with you. Wherever you go, I'll go."

Wuzhan said: "You are a girl, why are you following me? Besides, it is not convenient for you to go there. If you can find them, just follow me."

Wan Jiao said, "I'm worried about you going there, and along the way, those Qin soldiers will definitely abuse you. I've seen this happen many times. How can your body bear it? I'll deal with them in a while, and we'll go by ourselves."

Wuzhan said: "If you kill them, who will take me to the Great Wall? If you want to kill them, I will do it tonight."

Wan Jiao said, "It's not like we can't find the Great Wall, so why do we need them to lead the way?"

Wuzhan said: "I did this to conceal my identity. Following them, I can pass the checkpoint smoothly without being noticed by others. If I am discovered by those Taoist sects, I may not be able to go to the Great Wall. You just need to help me find them."

Wan Jiao said, "That's easy. I'll let them sleep for another day. You can recuperate here. I'll come back here to look for you after I find you."

……

The sun was already halfway up in the sky. All the corvées were clamoring in the courtyard, walking around in great excitement. Someone said:

"They have been sleeping in there for a whole day and night, why haven't they come out yet?"

"You still want them to come out and beat you? We have been running for several days and have been whipped so many times. It would be great to take a day off and catch our breath. I think they are probably tired too."

"How could they be so tired when they were riding horses and walking? I think this is a bit strange. Did someone drug them?"

"No one is missing here. Who would have given him the drug? Besides, who among us dares to run away? We all have the fingerprints on the list. If we are found by the government, do you still want to keep your head?"

"In my opinion, maybe the ghosts of those they killed are here to seek revenge."

"Hush! If they die, we can't wash ourselves clean even if we jump into the water of virtue. Stop talking nonsense."

……

With a "click", the courtyard door was kicked open, and three Qin soldiers walked in swaggeringly. One of the Qin soldiers had a petite figure, and the soft armor he wore was much too big for him. He wore a helmet at an angle, otherwise it would cover his watery eyes. His skin was delicate and white, and his two black beards were particularly conspicuous. He was obviously immature, but arrogant.

The Qin soldiers on the left and right, one with a red face and the other with a green face, looked fierce, but their big red noses and big buck teeth made people laugh.

The fair-skinned Qin soldier shouted as he entered the courtyard, "What time is it now? Why don't you hurry up and leave? Are you staying here waiting to die?"
