Chapter 376 He Bet on Me Winning

Xu Han fell silent again.

This time, he roughly understood Chu Chouli's feelings.

It was the fluorescence clenched tightly in the boundless darkness of the abyss, and it was also the tender sprout that was carefully protected in the boundless desert.

It doesn't help, but it's better than nothing.

That was the last glimmer of hope left in despair.

And things like people are sometimes so strange.

He needed a little hope to have the courage to continue crawling in this world.

"So you saved me from the lightning tribulation in front of Linglong Pavilion, right?" Xu Han asked again.

As for the lightning tribulation, Xu Han had many doubts in his heart

Whether it was its arrival or its disappearance, it seemed a little too abrupt. Now that Xu Han heard Chu Chouli mention this matter, he subconsciously thought that it was Chu Chouli who did it.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chouli shook his head at that time.

The pale-faced middle-aged man looked straight into Xu Han's eyes and said word by word, "Mo Chen Zi is dead."

Xu Han's body trembled.

Ever since the Chang'an change, Xu Han's feelings towards the Sword Mausoleum had become complicated.

In the end, his connection with the Mausoleum of the Sword originated from his encounter with the Vast Ocean Current. If all of this was just a scheme and a use, then his relationship with the Mausoleum of the Sword would inevitably come to an awkward and subtle state.

However, Mo Chen treated him extremely well. At least until now, Xu Han could not pick out any flaws in his body.

Hearing the news of his death, Xu Han found it difficult to remain calm.

He didn't know what Chu Chouli meant by mentioning this matter, but Xu Han couldn't help but ask, "How did he die?"

The youth's tone was terrifyingly calm, like a low roar from a wild beast's throat. The light in his eyes flickered, like the lion that had been forced to the brink of death, unable to retreat.

Chu Chouli's answer far exceeded Xu Han's expectations. He said, "Because of you."

Xu Han obviously did not understand what the middle-aged man meant.

"He was the one who helped you block that lightning tribulation. If I really did something, then I would isolate your Qi and make it impossible for that thing to find you for a short period of time. It was also that lightning tribulation that destroyed Mo Chen's palace." Chu Chouli quickly said again, resolving all the doubts in Xu Han's heart.

Of course, Xu Han knew that these things were definitely not fabricated by Chu Chouli. He had no reason to lie to him.

But he still couldn't digest the news in a short amount of time.

So, after a brief silence, he chose to avoid this topic for the time being and asked, "What happened after that? Did you execute the life stealing technique on Old General Lin?"

Chu Chouli nodded, not denying it.

"It's not just him. Yuan Guilong and the Headmaster both have my life stealing methods. It's better to say that stealing lives is exchanging lives. In the end, when the backlash comes, I will also be doomed."

Chu Chouli couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Perhaps it was because these words mentioned some taboos that Xu Han was unwilling to face, Xu Han put away his interest in continuing to talk to men. After pondering for a few breaths, he said, "Big Brother Chu has told me so much. What exactly is the reason?"

Such words were somewhat ruthless to Chu Chouli, who didn't have much time left.

However, the middle-aged man did not show any anger or sadness when he heard this. There was only an inexplicable trace of regret.

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth again.

However, with the passage of time, Chu Chouli's situation became worse and worse. Even a simple thing like making a noise seemed to be extremely difficult for him at this moment.

It took him more than ten breaths to spit it out, "I don't know, I want you to know this. It might be useful or useless, but it's the last thing I can do…"

After saying this, Chu Chouli's face became even more pale, as if he was on the verge of dying.

However, Xu Han's gaze was surprisingly calm. He stared at Chu Chouli for a long time and said, "Big Brother Chu actually doesn't want to die, does he?"

"Haha." Chu Chouli chuckled and said with a worried expression, "How dare you die without revenge?"

"Then live well!" Just as he finished speaking, Xu Han's voice suddenly rang out.

Then, the cold-faced youth turned around and walked out of the room without looking back.

At that time, Chu Chouli seemed to have realized where Xu Han was going. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. However, at this time, his body had already reached an extremely weak state. Chu Chouli used all of his strength and was unable to make any sound.

…

Xu Han pushed open Master Wei's door.

As he had expected, Master Wei had already sat in the door and waited for his arrival.

Just as the other party had expected Xu Han to arrive here at this moment, neither side showed much surprise.

"Have you thought it through?" Master Wei asked Xu Han as soon as he saw him.

"Yes." Xu Han also responded to Master Wei's question immediately.

"Do you know the price of saving him?" Perhaps it was a line that had been designed long ago, or perhaps it was surprised by Xu Han's certainty at this moment, Master Wei asked again.

"It's fair to trade your life for your own." Xu Han's expression was silent.

"Fair?" Master Wei scoffed at Xu Han's words. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Han, "The price you have to pay far exceeds your expectations."

"For example?" Xu Han raised his eyebrows as well.

Master Wei pondered for a moment before saying, "Chu Chouli is an expert disciple of the Sacred Stealing Sect. He is proficient in life stealing techniques. Even so, three lives and three karma are the reasons for his current situation. Not only is his lifespan reduced by the life stealing techniques, but it is also the backlash brought about by the great power of heaven and earth after breaking the rules." If you do this, I can help you fulfill your wish, but the consequences can only be paid by you. After saving him, your lifespan will be greatly reduced because of the three karma. I'm not sure how long you can live, but I know that it won't be too long. Even so, are you willing? "

Are you willing?

Xu Han also asked himself in his heart.

He and Chu Chouli were not close friends. The two of them traveled together. Although they were companions, they had their own plans. Logically speaking, Xu Hanyuan would not do this for him.

However, in reality, Xu Han quickly gave a positive answer to this question in his heart.

This is a very simple logic.

Xu Han was willing to risk his life for half of Qin Keqing's steamed buns in Dark Asura Hall, for the sake of saving his life, but more because Qin Keqing was the only warmth he felt in his long life as a beggar for twelve years.

That's how people are.

When you have enough, some abandonment may hurt you and make you reluctant, but it's much more than boring.

But when the only thing you have is taken away, you have no choice.

You can only raise your head, raise your chest, light up your claws that are not sharp, and say to the enemy with a smile, "Come, risk your life."

This was not the solemnity of a warrior. This was just a desperate struggle of a stray dog.

Along the way, from beggar to killer, from killer to prefecture head, from prefecture head to hiding.

Xu Han had never reached the point of having nothing, but he had never had much left.

It was precisely this portion that he had little left to lose that caused Xu Han to have no choice but to risk his life every time.

Therefore, after a slight hesitation, he nodded his head again.

Such a swift and decisive response far exceeded Master Wei's expectations.

The old man with a crisp shoulder looked deeply at Xu Han and asked again, "Why?"

This time, Xu Han's answer came even faster.

His eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth rose, "Because…"

"He bet on me winning."

"So, I won't let him lose."
