I can only help you this far.

With the sound of the beasts chewing on the broken bones, the night gradually receded. Soon, the broken limbs and remains on the ground were completely devoured by the group of beasts, leaving only a large blood - stained grassland.

The sky at the horizon gradually brightened, and the beasts that had feasted heartily gradually dispersed. The lone wolf that had come first looked at the col not far away, which exuded a terrifying aura, once more. With a howl of reluctance, it turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest without looking back.

"Um..." With a muffled groan, Wan Yuxuan felt as if she had fallen from a high altitude. Her consciousness suddenly returned to her body. Frowning tightly, with the twitching of her eyelids, she finally managed to open her eyes with great difficulty.

When she saw Fang Chen, with blood all over his seven apertures, also lying beside her, Wan Yuxuan sprang up. Then, gritting her teeth and enduring the severe pain, she groped around. Only then did she remember that her knife had been smashed by the black - robed man...

"You're awake?"

Wan Yuxuan, with a solemn expression, was just about to struggle to stand up when she was startled by this suddenly - sounding voice. After quickly looking around and finding no one in sight, she nervously blurted out, "Who?!"

"It's me." Lei Wa, who had been awakened, rubbed his big sleepy eyes. Looking up, he saw Wan Yuxuan constantly looking around. He couldn't help but say helplessly, "Here, look down."

Hearing this, Wan Yuxuan looked down and finally saw Lei Wa standing beside Fang Chen. She couldn't help but feel relieved and asked, "How's Fang Chen? Where are those people?"

"Master's injuries are too severe. I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while." Lei Wa pinched his chin and continued, "Those people were all killed by master. Oh, right, the black - robed man escaped."

"Killed? The black - robed man escaped?" Wan Yuxuan looked at Lei Wa in disbelief. Then, as if she had thought of something, she quickly asked, "Did you help him?"

"No." Lei Wa shook his head helplessly. "I don't have that ability."

After speaking, Lei Wa's big eyes rolled. Then he told Wan Yuxuan in great detail, with some exaggeration, the process of Fang Chen's battle with the black - robed man.

When she heard Lei Wa say that Fang Chen stabbed the black - robed man with a sword and scared him away, and that if it weren't for worrying about her, the black - robed man might already be dead by now, Wan Yuxuan's face couldn't help but flush.

Although she was a bit skeptical about what Lei Wa said, there was no doubt that she was saved by Fang Chen. She also knew the strength of the black - robed man. From the beginning, even when she burst out with all her strength, she could only manage to hold him in check. With the two Guiyuan Pills given by Fang Chen, she still couldn't inflict even the slightest wound on the black - robed man. Moreover, her knife was broken. But Fang Chen not only repelled the black - robed man but also stabbed him. This...

Wan Yuxuan looked at Fang Chen lying on the ground with a complicated expression. Last time, he didn't even use his swordsmanship. Could it be that he was afraid of hurting her? Right. That day in front of the old ancestor, his sword intent could already take shape. Before that, he had killed two Profound King Realm experts on his own. So, in the battle with her that day, he probably wasn't serious.

Taking a deep look at Fang Chen, Wan Yuxuan couldn't help but be filled with a bitter smile. How many more secrets do you have...

Seeing that after she finished speaking, Wan Yuxuan kept staring at her master, Lei Wa was slightly stunned. Could this girl have fallen in love with master because of what he said?

Thinking of this, Lei Wa couldn't help but look at Fang Chen with some pride, thinking to himself, master, this is the best I can do to help you.

Seeing that Wan Yuxuan was always carefully on guard against the surroundings, Lei Wa couldn't help but raise his little head and said proudly, "I've set up a defensive formation. You don't have to worry. And to heal you two, I also set up the Nine - Derived Formation. I used supreme - grade profound crystal stones. Hurry up and cultivate. Don't waste it."

Hearing Lei Wa's words, Wan Yuxuan realized that the profound qi of heaven and earth in the formation was many times denser than outside. Moreover, there was an indescribable aura constantly nourishing her body. After quickly checking her own condition, she found that her originally severe injuries were mostly healed.

Seeing the shocked expression on Wan Yuxuan's face, Lei Wa suddenly felt that his image had become much taller. After clearing his throat, he said, "Well, you cultivate first. I'm exhausted from taking care of you two last night. I'll take a rest first." After saying that, he continued to lean against Fang Chen and fell asleep.

"Uh..." Wan Yuxuan, who had wanted to express her gratitude, hadn't opened her mouth yet when she saw that Lei Wa had fallen asleep as soon as he touched Fang Chen. She couldn't help but be secretly amazed. No wonder he was so tired since he could set up such a powerful formation. After softly saying thank you to Lei Wa, she began to sit cross - legged and cultivate.

Glancing at Wan Yuxuan, who had already entered the cultivation state, Lei Wa couldn't help but sigh. He thought to himself, I've covered the injury on her face with the formation. How to solve it is up to you, master.

Apart from the occasional chirping of unknown birds, this mountain range remained in silence all the time. It was unknown whether it was because the smell of blood here was too strong, causing the animals to be reluctant to come, or because the predators already knew that the food here had been eaten up. In short, except for the occasional appearance and quick departure of flying and ferocious beasts, until noon the next day, the formation set up by Lei Wa had not been challenged at all.

During this period, except for when Wan Yuxuan broke through and woke up to check Fang Chen's condition, there were no other abnormalities.

At noon the next day, a light cough sounded. Before Wan Yuxuan could withdraw from the cultivation state, she heard Lei Wa exclaim in surprise, "Master, you're awake. I was so worried."

"Cough... cough..." Just as he was about to speak, there was another violent fit of coughing. Fang Chen pressed his chest and calmed his breathing. Feeling that his injuries were mostly healed inside his body, he frowned and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"For more than two days. Are you all right?" Wan Yuxuan stood up, her face full of concern.

"Yes, I'm fine." After speaking, Fang Chen couldn't help but rub his forehead. He had been unconscious for more than two days. This time, it was really...

Huh? I clearly remember Wan Yuxuan's face... Thinking of this, Fang Chen looked up and carefully examined Wan Yuxuan. He couldn't help but be a bit puzzled. Then he felt something abnormal on his arm. Looking down, he saw Lei Wa carefully glance at Wan Yuxuan and then shake his head almost imperceptibly.

Seeing this, Fang Chen understood. It turned out that Lei Wa had covered the injury on her face. But this wasn't a long - term solution after all. Sighing slightly, just as he was about to calm down and speak, he heard the spirit of the weapon's voice in his mind. "The injury on her face can be cured, but it's very troublesome."
