55. Chapter 55 Ruoruo, are you okay?


Chapter 55 Ruoruo, are you okay?
Fan Xian's eyes penetrated the night and locked onto the shadow.

There was an understanding between the two of them without the need for words.

Although Shadow had doubts about Fan Xian's words, among the many possibilities, Fan Xian's explanation seemed to be the most reasonable.

Fan Xian's insight makes the identity of the shadow undetectable, which is crucial.

Shadow then offered a challenge, a hint of challenge in his voice.

"Since you have tracked me here, Master Fan, why not take this opportunity for us to have a good fight?
" Shadow suggested, with respect for the strong in his tone.

"On the one hand, as Master Wuzhu's disciple, fighting against you is undoubtedly a rare learning opportunity."

Shadow's words revealed his respect for Fan Xian.

"On the other hand, since you have chased me here, if you come back empty-handed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to others."

Shadow's words revealed his understanding and challenge to Fan Xian.

Fan Xian was silent for a moment, but finally agreed with Shadow's point of view.

As a pursuer, it is his duty to see the mission through to the end, even at the cost of injury.

"In that case, let us try our skills." Fan Xian responded, fighting spirit igniting in his eyes.

When Shadow saw this, a smile appeared on his face, and his admiration for Wu Zhu was beyond words.

Although he has never been able to fight Master Wu Zhu in person, fighting against his disciples can be regarded as a kind of compensation for this desire.

Shadow gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, moved his body, and launched an attack on Fan Xian.

Although Fan Xian is only at the eighth level of cultivation, the domineering Qi in his body allows him to compete with the ninth level masters.

Shadow felt the pressure brought by Fan Xian and knew that even if his martial arts were slightly better, he could not take it lightly.

After a fierce confrontation, the battle between Fan Xian and Shadow lasted for more than a hundred rounds. Both of them tried their best and went all out.

As time went by, both of them had scars on each other's bodies. The battle became more intense and there were more and more wounds on their bodies.

Although these wounds were not fatal, both men's bodies were covered in blood and looked miserable.

Just as the battle entered the most critical moment, the domineering Qi in Fan Xian's body suddenly lost control and scattered in all directions.

Shadow didn't expect this turn of events at all. He couldn't stop his move in time and hit Fan Xian hard in the chest with his sword. Blood gushed out like a fountain.

Shadow looked at Fan Xian in shock and asked loudly: "Fan Xian, why did you suddenly withdraw your energy?"

But at this time, Fan Xian had fallen to the ground and was unable to respond.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and Shadow realized that the Imperial Guards from the Hanging Temple were chasing him.

He glanced at the unconscious Fan Xian and quickly turned around and left the scene.

Fan Xian was carried back to the Hanging Temple, unconscious, with shocking wounds on his body.

All the civil and military officials in the Hanging Temple were moved when they saw this scene.

Fan Xian's strength has long been famous in the world. He once competed with Begonia Duoduo, the saint of the Northern Qi Dynasty, in the palace, and the two fought to no avail.

It is a well-known fact that Fan Xian possesses ninth-grade combat power.

However, even he suffered heavy losses in this battle, which shocked everyone.

The assassination in Hanging Temple shocked the entire court. Its scale and boldness were unprecedented. His Majesty was also severely wounded, which shocked and confused everyone.

Who had the courage and ability to plan such an assassination?

When Li Chengze learned about Fan Xian's experience, he became nervous.

Later, he, the eldest prince and the third prince Li Chengping went to check on Fan Xian's condition. At this time, the imperial doctor was treating Fan Xian's wounds.

Fortunately, although Fan Xian's injury was serious, it was not life-threatening and he just lost too much blood.

Different from Fan Xian's poisoning in the original work, this time he only suffered trauma.

Lin Wan'er was crying on the side, tears falling like rain.

After treatment, Fan Xian gradually regained consciousness. Due to the impact of his injuries, he appeared very weak and pale.

Fan Xian looked around and saw the imperial doctor, Fan Ruoruo, Lin Waner, the eldest prince and the third prince. Finally, his eyes rested on Li Chengze. He asked in a weak voice: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, is he okay?"

When the eldest prince heard Fan Xian's words, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Fan Xian, you should have a good rest now and stop talking. You are injured like this and you are still worried about His Majesty."

However, Fan Xian did not respond to the eldest prince's advice, but continued to look at Li Chengze with questioning eyes.

Although others may not understand Fan Xian's eyes, Li Chengze naturally understands its meaning.

On the surface, Fan Xian was concerned about Emperor Qing's safety, but in fact, he was asking whether their plan had been successful.

Fan Ruoruo didn't speak. She lowered her head and concentrated on sewing Fan Xian's wounds. At the same time, she quietly pricked up her ears and listened to everything around her.

In Fan Xian's heart, he was always concerned about His Majesty's condition. He asked softly:

"I hit His Majesty. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Facing Fan Xian's inquiry, Li Chengze shook his head, with a hint of heaviness in his tone:
"Your Majesty's situation is not optimistic either."

After Fan Xian left, he originally thought that the assassination incident was over, but an accident happened.

Li Chengze continued to explain: "Suddenly, a mysterious power came from the distant mountain, spanning a distance of several hundred feet, and directly attacked His Majesty."

There was a hint of admiration in his voice: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is concealed and possesses the cultivation of a great master, otherwise that blow would have been fatal."

"Even so, His Majesty was seriously injured. I'm afraid his injuries are as serious as yours."

Li Chengze's words slightly eased Fan Xian's worries.

If His Majesty's Grand Master cultivation has been exposed, it means that their plan was successful.

There was a trace of surprise on Fan Xian's face:
"Grand Master? Your Majesty is actually the Grand Master?" He whispered to himself:

"There have always been rumors that there is a great master hidden in the palace. I thought it was Eunuch Hong Sixiang, but I didn't expect it to be His Majesty."

"His Majesty, the Grand Master Realm, was seriously injured. Who is the assassin in the dark?"

Fan Xian's tone was full of solemnity and confusion.

At this time, Fan Ruoruo couldn't help coughing twice. She knew in her heart that Fan Xian knew everything about this, and even all of this was carefully planned by him and His Highness.

Looking at Fan Xian's appearance at this time, Fan Ruoruo also felt a little strange. She had never realized that her brother had such outstanding acting skills.

The eldest prince noticed Fan Ruoruo's strange behavior and asked with concern: "Miss Ruoruo, are you okay?" His inquiry brought Fan Ruoruo back to her senses. She shook her head slightly to indicate that she was okay.
