Eternal Sword

Chapter 260: Vast World
To the east of Qingzhou's territory, there is a peninsula that protrudes into the East China Sea.

Longpan County is located on this peninsula.

If you go all the way south, you will still reach the East China Sea.

You have to walk west, leave the peninsula area, and then head south to reach Xiajiang.

Fortunately, there was the help of Hu Leibao. With its fast running speed, the pursuers from Longpan County could not catch up with it.

The two of them rode away for nearly two hours. Only when they were sure they had completely shaken off the pursuers did Chen Tang gradually slow down his pace.

He helped Tan Wujiu, who was behind him, down from the horse.

Tan Wujiu had multiple sword wounds on his body, especially a wound on his left rib. His injuries were extremely serious and he had lost too much blood. He was already in a coma.

If he is not treated in time, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long!
Chen Tang took off Tan Wujiu's Qinglong Armor, took out some golden wound medicine from his arms, and applied it to the wounds on his body.

These are all medicines in the palace, and they are extremely effective.

It just splashed on the wound, and Tan Wujiu's body twitched unconsciously a few times.

After a while, the bleeding from the wound stopped.

Chen Tang tore off a few pieces of cloth from his body and simply bandaged the wound on Tan Wujiu's body.

Afterwards, he was fed another pill to strengthen his body.

Chen Tang glanced at Tan Wujiu.

Due to excessive blood loss and great consumption, Tan Wujiu's face was pale and his lips were white.

After taking the pill, his face became a little more rosy.

It seems that this life is saved.

Chen Tang also took one pill and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

The pill was swallowed into the stomach and turned into a warm current, flowing slowly in the body and into every part of the body, alleviating a lot of fatigue.

After a moment, Chen Tang let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

At some point, Tan Wujiu woke up, his eyes were dazed, and it seemed that he was still not fully awake.

Chen Tang didn't say anything to interrupt.

After a while, Tan Wujiu seemed to wake up, sighed and said, "Why did you save me?"

"Why are you helping me?"

Chen Tang didn't answer, but asked a question instead.

Before this, he had never thought that Tan Wujiu would do such a shocking thing!

Tan Wujiu showed a bitter smile and said, "Perhaps, it was because of your sword that woke me up."

"what?"

Chen Tang showed a hint of doubt.

Tan Wujiu said softly, "That night, I tried to stop Cai Yin because I didn't want him to offend Song Mu and become enemies with Xuantian Sect. I never thought of killing him."

"But it was because of my obstruction that Song Mu succeeded and killed Cai Yin."

When talking about this past event, Chen Tang could hardly hide his resentment.

But he did not speak, he just remained silent.

Tan Wujiu said: "At that time, I really wanted to kill Song Mu with a sword, but I didn't dare. I didn't even dare to tell the truth of that night. So, I deliberately reminded Xiaomei that Cai Yin's sword was the only evidence, and wanted to use her mouth to make the matter public."

"I believe she will tell this matter."

"But I didn't expect that she would be so strong..."

When Tan Wujiu mentioned this, there was regret and remorse in his eyes, but more of it was pain.

After a pause, Tan Wujiu continued, "I told this through Xiaomei's mouth because I just didn't want Cai Yin to die in vain. I have many concerns and dare not avenge Cai Yin."

"Until you killed Song Mu with that blow..."

Tan Wujiu took a deep breath and said, "That blow of yours completely sobered me up. It made me realize that my blood was originally hot."

"It turns out that Xuantian Sect is not that scary."

"When a common man gets angry, blood will splatter five steps! As long as you abandon power and status, and abandon life and death, you can do whatever you want! What Xuantian Sect, what temple master, don't you still only have one life!"

Tan Wujiu was in the Qinglong Division and joined the Xuantian Sect, which brought him many restraints and shackles. Over time, his edges and edges were worn away, and the blood in his body gradually turned cold.

To the extent that even when Cai Yin died in front of him, he did not dare to avenge him.

Until Chen Tang appeared.

In order to repay Cai Yin's kindness in promoting and caring for him, the young man, who was only of the eighth rank and had no status, got angry and killed the master of Xuantian Sect with one knife!

That scene brought great shock to Tan Wujiu.

His cultivation level at that time was at the fourth level.

Faced with a Taoist priest in the Qi Condensation Realm, he was too cowardly to take action.

He even witnessed Cai Yin and Qin Xiaomei die in front of him!
Later, because of his contributions to Wu'an County, Tan Wujiu was arranged by the Xuantian Sect to Qingzhou City and became the commander-in-chief of the Qinglong Division in Qingzhou City.

His official position and status have been improved, his identity has also changed, and his power is greater than before.

But Tan Wujiu never had a moment of happiness.

Whenever he thought back to the time when Cai Yin and Qin Xiaomei had been by his side for so many years, he felt extremely painful and regretful.

He could only get himself drunk every day to numb himself.

Only when he was drunk and didn't think about anything would he not feel that kind of pain.

Once I wake up, the pain comes like a tide!
Tan Wujiu didn't know when these days would end.

Perhaps, he will continue to live in this muddle-headed way and eventually die.

Until that day, he suddenly heard a familiar name.

Chen Tang.

Tan Wujiu's mind gradually became clear.

Instead of living in such a confused way, it is better to live a life of passion, abandon everything, just follow your heart and kill to your heart's content!
So, he brought Yang Ming and others, and came to Longpan County with Tuyang.

In fact, from the moment he attacked Tu Yang and Yang Ming, he had no intention of surviving.

Death, for him, was a relief.

Tan Wujiu had a lot of things to say but didn't tell Chen Tang.

But Chen Tang already understood.

Tan Wujiu felt guilty towards Cai Yin and Qin Xiaomei, which was why he was so miserable and wanted to die.

It was precisely because of this guilt, and because Chen Tang had killed Song Mu, that he helped him this time.

"I'm not Cai Tou, and I can't forgive you on behalf of the dead."

At this point, Chen Tang paused and said, "But, maybe you have already died once."

Tan Wujiu's heart was shocked.

When Chen Tang said they had died once, he didn't just mean that the two of them had narrowly escaped death.

What's more, it means that the cowardly Tan Wujiu is already dead!
Chen Tang said, "Stay alive. The Azure Dragon Guards under Cai Tou are still here. If you have a chance, go and see them."

"them……"

The figures of Wang Yanli and others appeared in Tan Wujiu's mind.

These people were extremely disappointed in him. He had left Qinglong Division abruptly for Cai Yin and there had been no news of him for a long time.

"But……"

Tan Wujiu smiled bitterly and said, "Now that I have rebelled against the Qinglong Division and killed so many people, the Qian Kingdom can no longer tolerate me."

"The world is so big, and there is more than just Qian."

Chen Tang said: "A caged bird has food but the knife is close by. A wild crane has no food but the world is wide. Now that you have cut off the shackles of the Azure Dragon Division, you are free from all restraints. There is a vast world where you can go anywhere!"

Chen Tang looked towards the south, pointed his sword, and said, "I plan to go south across the river to explore the martial arts world of Xia Country. I will come back if I have the chance in the future."

"Nanxia?"

Tan Wujiu murmured softly.
