I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 17 Either don’t do it or do it!
Although Chen He had practiced martial arts, he was not yet a martial artist. In addition, his age made him not very strong in combat. After being slashed by Wang Wu's sword, he was already covered in wounds.

Finally, Wang Wu stepped on him to the ground and he couldn't move. He watched Wang Wu's knife about to cut his neck, and he screamed for help at the top of his lungs.

At this moment, Wang Wu also saw his elder brother being killed. He was stunned for a moment and his heart was filled with fear.

how come?
Big brother Li Wei is a warrior close to the Bronze Skin Realm, how could he be killed by an old hunter?
In Wang Wu's eyes, Xie An was no longer a hunter, but a terrifying murderous demon.

At this moment, Xie An had already drawn his bow to its full length, aimed the arrow at Wang Wu's head, and said viciously, "Let him go."

Wang Wu, caught in the crosshairs of the arrow, felt a chill run down his spine, yet he knew he couldn't let go of Chen He at this moment. Without him, he would be a sitting duck. He didn't move the broadsword from Chen He's neck. He even tried to pull Chen He in front of him to block the arrow.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot you in the head!"

Xie An threatened harshly.

Xie An did have the angle to shoot his arrow, which would have killed Wang Wu. However, Xie An was unsure of his shooting skills and worried about hitting the wrong person, so he had to pretend to be intimidated.

Wang Wu didn't know that Xie An's shooting skills were not good, so he didn't dare to take the risk and didn't dare to move. He said fiercely under the pressure: "Let's see which is faster, your arrow or my knife. Shoot me to death, and your friend will not survive either."

The two sides reached a stalemate.

The autumn wind swept through the forest, birds chirping. Moonlight shone in the sky. Although it was late autumn and the temperature was below zero, both sides were sweating profusely, extremely nervous.

In fact, Wang Wu was the most nervous, as he could be shot to death if he wasn't careful. Xie An was fine, as he wouldn't be the one to die.

Chen He and I have a very good relationship, and just now Chen He took the initiative to take out ten taels of silver to help me out of trouble, which shows that this person is worth making friends with.

But if it really came down to choosing between the two, Xie An would definitely choose himself first.

If there is a chance to save Chen He, Xie An will still try his best.

There is no other reason, Xie An just felt that people should have a conscience.

After a quarter of an hour, Xie An, who had been pulling the bow to the full moon, felt very tired. He knew that continuing the stalemate was not a solution.

"Wang Wu, right? Actually, we just want to survive. There's no need to fight to the death. How about this: we both put down our weapons at the same time, and you take the opportunity to escape?"

Wang Wu rejected it outright, "Okay, but you have to throw the bow far away. Otherwise, you can pick it up and shoot me before I can even run far."

Xie An glanced at Chen He, whose life was hanging by a thread, and finally felt that he should give it a try. "Okay."

Wang Wu thought about it and felt that it was feasible, but he was still worried: "You must throw the bow and arrow farther away."

Xie An said, "I threw the bow and arrow ten feet away. At this distance, even if I regretted it later and ran to retrieve the bow, it would be enough time for you to get into the woods and escape. If I threw it too far, you would have time to take Chen He, the hostage, with you."

Wang Wu started to think about it.

For him, taking Chen He as a hostage and leaving was undoubtedly the safest way, so that Xie An would not dare to act recklessly.

But the old man opposite was thoughtful and cut off his thoughts.

He then thought, if Xie An really threw the bow and arrow ten feet away, even if Xie An ran to pick it up, it would take at least five or six breaths of time. This period of time was indeed enough for him to sneak into the woods beside the road and escape.

Moreover, if Xie An really threw away his bow and arrow, Wang Wu would undoubtedly become more proactive. He could easily kill Chen He with a single blow and then run away.

Xie An had considered this, but there was no other way… The party that actively wanted to save others would always be in a passive position. This risk still had to be taken.

Furthermore, if Xie An was strong enough, he could have just controlled Li Wei and used him as a hostage exchange. But it was obvious that Li Wei was so powerful that killing him would be a good thing. Controlling him would be too difficult and risky.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Wu finally agreed, "Okay."

Xie An said, "On the count of three, I'll throw the bow and arrow and you throw the knife. If you dare to cheat or do anything to hurt my friends, I won't let you go!"

"Don't worry, I just want to survive."

Xie An began to count.

"one."

"two."

"three."

When the time came, Xie An threw the bow and arrow ten feet to the left in the first half beat, and Wang Wu threw the knife three feet away in the second half beat, and then rushed into the woods without looking back.

He ran wildly in the woods, screaming "Ahhh" in fear.

After running for two or three miles, Wang Wu found that there was no one around, so he stopped to catch his breath, "This old hunter is really troublesome. Fortunately, I survived. But the other old man introduced himself. Wuqiao Town, Chen's Martial Arts School... Humph, just wait for my Giant Whale Gang to come to your door. Li Wei is the illegitimate son of the gang leader's mistress. You can't escape..." Suddenly, Wang Wu felt a chill.

call out.

A sharp arrow whistled through the air, shooting out from the thorns in front. When Wang Wu heard the sound, he tried to dodge, but it was too late. The arrow pierced his heart.

"Ho, ho..."

Wang Wu saw the arrow piercing his chest and raised his head with difficulty. He saw Xie An walking out from the thorns. "You, how did you catch up with me..."

"I forgot to tell you, my speed is more than twice as fast as yours..."

Wang Wu stared with his eyes wide open, full of unwillingness.

This old man actually has a trick up his sleeve...

Xie An walked to a distance of six meters from Wang Wu and stopped, without approaching Wang Wu.

Although Wang Wu was seriously injured, he still had the possibility of dying. Xie An did not want to take any risks, so he slowly drew his heavy bow, put the arrow on it and took aim.

Wang Wu was terrified. "Master, please be kind and let me go. I have money, I'll give it all to you..."

"Either don't do it, or if you do... do it thoroughly!"

There was no expression on Xie An's cold face, and he suddenly released the bowstring.

hum!
The arrow whizzed out and smashed Wang Wu's head into pieces.

His brain was splattered, he was deader than dead.

call!
Only then did Xie An breathe a sigh of relief.

The second time I killed someone, I gradually got used to the rhythm and didn’t feel any mental fluctuations anymore.

He carried the heavy bow on his back, then walked up to Wang Wu and felt around.

Ten taels of silver.

He then found a ravine, threw Wang Wu's body into it, and then turned and left.

After escaping death, Chen He sat on the side of the road in a daze for a long time before he regained his composure. Then, as Xie An had instructed, he dragged the bodies of Li Wei and Asan to the woods by the roadside, dug a large pit with iron tools, and buried the bodies.

After finishing all this, Chen He was already exhausted and sat on the ground gasping for breath. In his hand was the thirty taels of silver he had taken from the two men. He was terrified when he thought about it.

The scene of Xie An killing someone kept coming back to his mind.

He is very experienced and his movements are smooth and efficient, every step is planned... He is just like an old hunter!
"Old Xie has changed so much recently. If it weren't for him, I would be dead."

While Chen He was in a daze, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Xie An coming out of the woods with a heavy bow. He still looked harmless and old-fashioned.

But Chen He knew that this old man was no longer the same old man as before.

Fortunately, he himself had practiced martial arts, so he was not frightened to death by Xie An. He quickly approached him and asked, "Have you caught up with Wang Wu?"

Xie An nodded, "Yes, he is dead."

call!
Chen He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, Brother Xie, you're fast enough. Otherwise, if we let the tiger back into the mountains, the other party would know where my family is. I'm afraid the Chen family would suffer. Brother Xie, you not only saved my life, but also saved the entire Chen family. As a younger brother, I can't repay you enough."

Chen He was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, but Xie An hurriedly helped him up. "Old Chen, please don't do this. You introduced yourself earlier to help me out. We are even now. However, this matter should not be made public."

"I know. Let's get back to town."

The two men drove the car and hurried towards Wuqiao Town.

During this period, Chen He gave all the thirty taels he got from searching the corpse to Xie An, and Xie An accepted it without hesitation.

Picking up the bargain earned him 250 taels, and killing the robber earned him 40. The total amount was 290 taels...

The next bear heart is also ready.

This wave is not a loss!
