King of Hundred Victories Saber-Chapter 445 - 165: Daring the Dragon’s Lair: Shi Feiyang Sheds Blood at the Headquarter to Protect His Brothers (Part 4)
Bai Zhi’s heart was with Shi Feiyang’s safety. Ever since Shi Feiyang and others arrived by the Chishui River, she had been lurking in the nearby forest, observing the battle. She hid within the dense foliage, nervously watching every move on the battlefield.
When she saw Shi Feiyang performing the ’Dragon Walk Seven Steps’ Divine Skill, she couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
Shi Feiyang’s figure was agile, each step he took seemed to carry world-shattering power, causing enemies to fall all around him.
However, at this moment, Bai Zhi’s heart was tense.
Shi Feiyang had to protect the severely injured Xiang Kun while facing invincible masters like Copper Drum Elder and Flying Rope General, making his situation increasingly dangerous.
Bai Zhi could no longer bear the worry in her heart. Despite the conflict and pain due to Shi Feiyang’s involvement with Qi Meizhen, her deep love for Shi Feiyang drove her to step forward regardless of everything.
She quickly masked herself, muttering incantations and forming seals with her hands to perform witchcraft.
In an instant, a strong, nauseating, eerie scent spread, as if the stench of hell had emerged.
Numerous poisonous insects of various forms crawled out from the ground in a flash. Some were covered in sharp poisonous spines, glowing with a ghostly green light; others spewed green venom from their mouths, leaving black marks on the ground wherever they passed.
These poisonous insects surged towards the enemies. At the same time, dense green smoke appeared in the air, with faint ghastly faces emerging within it, emitting a low, chilling howl that sent shivers down the spine.
The enemies were caught off guard by this sudden, inexplicable attack. Their previously tight formation was instantly thrown into chaos. They looked around in terror at the poisonous insects and ghostly faces; some collapsed to the ground in fright, while others fled in all directions, creating a scene of chaos.
Shi Feiyang seized the opportunity to pick up the severely injured Xiang Kun and, along with Xie Wen, broke through the encirclement.
The "Blood Evil Gang" leader "Blood Demon" Tu Zhongtian, deputy leader "Ghost-faced Rakshasa" Liu Sanniang, Cyan Dragon Hall master "Life-taking Judge" Zhao Dun, Copper Drum Elder, and Flying Rope General were relentless, pursuing them closely, trying to drive Shi Feiyang and others back into a deadly situation.
During the breakout, Bai Zhi stayed by Shi Feiyang’s side, disregarding her own safety, repeatedly blocking the enemy’s attacks, giving Shi Feiyang, Xiang Kun, and Xie Wen a chance to escape.
After running several miles, and seeing no enemies in pursuit upon looking back, Shi Feiyang finally stopped.
Bai Zhi, seeing this, quickly tore off her mask, her eyes filled with guilt, and repeatedly apologized: "I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I got you into trouble." Her voice was filled with deep self-blame and regret.
Shi Feiyang looked at her, without a hint of blame in his eyes, but rather a trace of gratitude: "Miss Bai, thanks to your help, we were able to break through smoothly. How is Xiang Kun’s injury?"
Bai Zhi hurriedly checked Xiang Kun’s wound, her brows furrowed, expression grave: "The injury is severe, caused by the Broken Jade Flute Technique, not something that can be healed with ordinary energy circulation, it requires special medication. My master is the miraculous healer of Bozhou, residing in Qingfeng Cave on Cui Ping Mountain, we must take him to see my master as soon as possible."
Shi Feiyang looked at Bai Zhi, a bit of emotion flickering in his eyes. At this critical moment of life and death, he saw for the first time Bai Zhi’s kind and brave side. Quietly, the relationship between the two advanced in this thrilling moment of life and death.
Afterwards, Bai Zhi led Shi Feiyang and Xie Wen, carefully escorting Xiang Kun, heading towards Qingfeng Cave on Cui Ping Mountain, hoping to heal Xiang Kun soon.
During late autumn, Cui Ping Mountain was like a magnificent painting slowly unfolding, presenting a unique scenery. The rolling mountains stood like the backbone of the earth, steadfast in the autumn breeze.
The trees on the mountain mostly shed their vibrant green attire, dressing in the colorful hues of autumn. Maple leaves like fire burned on the branches, adorning the entire mountain like vivid sunset; ginkgo leaves, resembling golden butterflies, gently swayed in the breeze, occasionally dropping a few pieces, paving the forest with a soft golden carpet.
The evergreens remained vibrant green, standing tall amidst the colors, adding a touch of resilience and vitality to Cui Ping Mountain.
The mountain path twisted and turned, covered with thick fallen leaves. With each step, the ground emitted a "creak creak" sound, as if the earth whispered the melody of autumn.
The wildflowers by the road, although no longer as vivid as in summer, still bloomed tenaciously, dotting among the grass, adding a touch of liveliness to the cool late autumn. In the distance, a waterfall flowed, no longer as turbulent as in summer, but more leisurely. The water cascaded from a height, layer upon layer of spray splashing, forming a brilliant rainbow under the sunlight.
Following the winding mountain path would eventually lead to Qingfeng Cave.
The entrance was covered by dense vines, with strings of crystal-clear dew hanging from the vines, shimmering with colorful lights under the sunlight. Pushing aside the vines and entering the cave, a cool breath came pouring in.
Inside the cave was spacious and deep, the stone walls glittering with points of phosphorescence, like stars in the night sky. Countless stalactites hung from the ceiling, each uniquely shaped, some like swords piercing the ground, others like inverted lotus flowers, and still others resembled nimble fairies, vivid and lifelike.
Clear springs gently flowed down the cave walls, dripping into the puddles on the ground, producing crisp and pleasant sounds.
