I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 156 Huge Harvest

Chapter 156 Huge Harvest
Mu Chaoyun stood still for a moment, observing silently, and only walked back quickly after making sure that Deng Wan was completely dead.

Xie Yuan had already climbed up and was sitting under a big tree, grinning.

He coughed twice and saw the long trail of blood left by Deng Wan in the distance, and sighed a little.

The Grandmaster's vitality is truly tenacious.

If it were anyone else, even someone at the Qi and Blood Transformation stage, Xie Yuan was certain that it would be impossible for him to run so fast after being nearly cut in half, or to crawl so far after being hit by Mu Chaoyun's full-strength palm, or even plan a counterattack before death.

He saw Mu Chaoyun walking towards him quickly, and seemed slightly relieved to see that he was still able to move.

A slender figure stood in front of him. Xie Yuan tried hard to stand up, but stumbled.

He had already used up all his strength in the first blow to sweep through the enemy troops, and the second blow had drained his blood, energy and internal energy. Now his meridians were exhausted, his blood was dormant, and he was completely overdrawn. His condition was not much better than Mu Chaoyun's.

In addition, he was shocked by Deng Wan's powerful force and his internal organs were injured. He didn't even have the strength to stand up.

A slender hand reached out, and Xie Yuan raised his hand to pull it, but just when it reached halfway in the air, his butt sank and he sat down again.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chaoyun was also at the end of his strength. After being pulled by Xie Yuan, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The two looked at each other in silence. Mu Chaoyun uncomfortably moved a little distance away and leaned against a big tree with Xie Yuan. They sat there shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, and let out a long sigh.

The war is over, although the price was huge, but...

They are alive, and Deng Wan is dead.

A feeling of relief came over both of them at the same time.

Xie Yuan turned his head and saw that Mu Chaoyun's face was flushed, red with purple. Although the strange complexion matched her cold white skin, it was also beautiful, but...

After the fierce competition, his face turned purple, which was obviously a sign of taking too much medicine.

He asked with concern:

"how do you feel?"

Mu Chaoyun shook his head gently, wanting to say that he was fine, but when the words came out of his mouth, they turned into:
"Why don't you leave?"

Xie Yuan smiled:
"Didn't I tell you that you can't be bullied?"

He winked and smiled widely.

Mu Chaoyun was stunned, turned his head away and pursed his lips slightly.

Then she exhaled and nodded:
"If it weren't for you this time, the outcome would have been unpredictable. Did you just learn that axe skill...? You actually managed to injure Deng Wan."

Even though Mu Chaoyun was a calm and composed person who didn't show his emotions easily, he looked surprised and couldn't understand what was going on.

Even if Deng Wan is a wooden stake, he is a master-level wooden stake.

Xie Yuan was an external practitioner, so even if he used all his strength, he shouldn't be able to break the skin after chopping for a long time.

Even though she was able to tie up 90% of Deng Wan's energy and strength, Xie Yuan's two consecutive axe strikes almost cut Deng Wan in half, which was still too shocking and puzzling.

Mu Chaoyun blinked and looked Xie Yuan up and down, and could only attribute it to the power of the Black Book.

Xie Yuan did not comment, he just raised his hand, then let it fall weakly:

"This is the price we paid. We are both half crippled now, and together we can be used as a prankster. But our cooperation is truly a unity of purpose."

The cooperation between him and Mu Chaoyun just now was perfect and the timing was just right, which led to such an effect.

After spending so much time together and practicing martial arts frequently, it is not difficult to understand how they could achieve this. However, thinking back to the first time they met Lu Laosan, they already had a similar tacit understanding, which was quite difficult.

Mu Chaoyun sounded a little embarrassed, but did not refute, just curiously asked:

"How can you be so sure that you can comprehend the Black Book?"

Compared to the fact that Xie Yuan was able to injure the Grandmaster, this matter was even more difficult for her to understand.

No one in the world knew the Eight Trigrams Lotus better than she did, so in her opinion, it was unwise for Xie Yuan to gamble on it.

However, Xie Yuan really made the right bet. Was he so sure?

Xie Yuan didn't know how to explain, so he could only say:

"I feel like I have a tacit understanding with it, and I feel like I'm about to understand something."

Mu Chaoyun was half-believing and half-doubting, but he couldn't give any other explanation.

She looked Xie Yuan up and down, wondering if he really had incredible luck.

The thick fog of the formation had dissipated, and the two were sitting in the woods. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the trees, making spots; there was also a breeze blowing, caressing people's cheeks, making people feel relaxed and happy, and feeling a little leisurely.

If Deng Wan's body hadn't been lying in the distance, the two of them would have seemed like they were having a picnic in the woods and wanted to sit here for a while.

After Xie Yuan and Mu Chaoyun recovered for a while, they finally regained some strength, so they supported each other and stood up. It was indeed because they stood together that they could stand steadily.

"Are you sure he's dead?"

Xie Yuan looked at Mu Chaoyun.

Mu Chaoyun nodded:

"Even if he didn't die just now, he would have bled dry now. Although the Grandmaster is powerful, he is not a god."

Xie Yuan nodded, his eyes shining slightly.

He picked up the dark whip, and without the master's control, it looked like an ordinary whip;
Then he and Mu Chaoyun moved to Deng Wan's body and poked Deng Wan's bloody waist with a horsewhip. Mu Chaoyun's eyelids jumped and he felt an inexplicable pain in his waist.

After making sure that Deng Wan was dead, Xie Yuan excitedly took out his long knife, slashed Deng Wan's clothes to reveal the hidden pockets inside, and took out all the things.

A stack of banknotes, a box, a token of the Golden Dragon Company and other sundries, nothing else.

Xie Yuan counted the banknotes and took a breath.

There were six large bills with a maximum value of one thousand taels each, plus other small bills, the total amount was more than six thousand six hundred taels.

He looked at Deng Wan with a strange look in his eyes. Is this the master's wealth? He has to carry so much money when he goes out?
This is all good for him!

"Deng Wan has been with the Golden Dragon Company for many years. The Golden Dragon Company spans the border, so it's not surprising that it has such financial resources."

Mu Chaoyun explained.

Born into a rich family, she didn't react much to the banknotes. She just picked up the box, checked it, opened the mechanism, looked at the big ant-like bug inside, was slightly startled, and then nodded:

"No wonder, it turns out to be the 'Thousand Mile Ant'."

"What are Thousand-Mile Ants?" Xie Yuan asked curiously.

"The Thousand Mile Ant is a species of exotic insect from the Western Regions, also known as the Eyeless Insect. It is extremely rare. It is very good at finding people and recognizing the way. It can track people all the way even if they are thousands of miles away. I believe Deng Wan has been chasing us all the way here by this method."

Mu Chaoyun nodded, picked up the whip again, inspected it up and down, and nodded:
"This Xuanbing is indeed a golden weapon, and it is a genuine item. But it has been buried in the hands of a man with evil intentions like Deng Wan."

Xie Yuan looked at the whip curiously, but found that it was black and about the same length as an arm, just like any other whip, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Now it doesn't look as powerful as it was just now."

Xie Yuan commented.

Mu Chaoyun said calmly;

"The mysterious weapon also depends on who is using it. If there is no master-level internal force injected into it, it will not show its magical power. Like this..."

She clenched her hands tightly, and a golden electric light suddenly rose from the whip, which was about to wrap around the whip and spin upwards. Then, with a light snap, it suddenly went out and turned into an ordinary black whip again.

The woods were quiet for a moment, silent and still.

Xie Yuan couldn't help but blink. Is that it?

It's like a deflated lighter.

Mu Chaoyun put away the whip expressionlessly:
"That's it. Well, these things are nothing special..."

Her face turned red and she changed the subject.

If it weren't for the emptiness in my body, I wouldn't have failed like this.

Fortunately, her expression was already unnatural, so Xie Yuan didn't notice anything.

After counting the harvest, the two looked at each other and both felt it was good.

A black weapon, a box of strange insects, and a large amount of silver notes. It was a rich harvest.

Mu Chaoyun pondered for a moment and said:
"You can't use Xuanbing, why don't I..."

"You can arrange it yourself."

Xie Yuan waved his hand casually:

"Why are you so polite? Didn't you give me all the Tianqing Fruit?"

Seeing Xie Yuan being so straightforward, Mu Chaoyun lowered his eyes slightly.

How many people were close companions one moment, and fought over spoils the next, and Xuanbing was a treasure that was enough to make people fight for life and death.

Although she knew that Xie Yuan was not that kind of person, she was moved when she saw that he didn't even look at her.

However, as Xie Yuan said, although the Tianqing Fruit was not given to him voluntarily, the subsequent spiritual liquid is much more valuable than a mere black weapon; plus, the two of them supported each other throughout their escape, studied the Black Heaven Book together, and had a bond of life and death that could not be compared to these external objects.

Mu Chaoyun was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Xie Yuan ask:
"Miss Mu, I thought my recent progress was due to the good results of my training, but it turns out to be the Tianqing Fruit... It's not easy for you to catalyze it for me, right?"

Seeing Xie Yuan looking at him intently, Mu Chaoyun said calmly:

"It didn't cost anything..."

"I mean, how did you catalyze me? Did you secretly get up at night and do something to me?"

Xie Yuan said with a look of suspicion, he obviously remembered the experience of Mu Chaoyun getting up in the middle of the night to secretly eat takeout.

Mu Chaoyun's face turned red again. How could he talk like that?
Although this is the truth, how could it sound so unbearable coming out of his mouth?

She said with some embarrassment:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing her expression, Xie Yuan became even more suspicious. He looked her up and down and asked again:

"Really not?"

"Do you have the energy to talk nonsense now?"

Mu Chaoyun pursed his lips and said coldly.

She took out the Bagua plate, calculated it, and changed the subject abruptly:
"It's time to go..."

Mu Chaoyun paused, was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed slightly.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan quickly asked:
"what happened?"

"It's still all dead ends... there's only one way out. How come?"

Mu Chaoyun said in a lost voice.

Xie Yuan frowned when he heard this, but saw Mu Chaoyun quickly looking around.
