Counterkill from Desperation

A gentle breeze drifted in, The entire forest was silent, but the standoff between the two sides made the air especially oppressive, Seeing that the two before him remained unmoved, Pang Feilong had no intention of waiting any longer, He had originally feared that they might not have the Innate Cultivation Method on them, so he had wanted them to reveal it voluntarily, But now, he could no longer care about that. He would kill them first and search their bodies afterward.

He spoke in a low voice, "Since you refuse to appreciate kindness, then once I kill you, the Innate Cultivation Method will still be mine."

"Then give it a try."

Facing Pang Feilong's attack, Li Qiuyu unleashed strength unlike ever before, As though she were venting all the fury of Uncle Li's death. Though she could not kill Blood Wolf now, she would still risk her life to kill him, Bai Ze beside her also waited for an opening before charging straight out, Ready to join forces here and kill Pang Feilong, But if they proved no match for him, he would immediately withdraw, No matter how beautiful Li Qiuyu was, she was not worth dying beside, Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The two sides exchanged blows at incredible speed, the clashing of blades ringing without end, Though Li Qiuyu was already seriously wounded, fighting without regard for her life made her attacks far fiercer than before, Bai Ze at her side also gave it his all. The longsword in his hand transformed into layers upon layers of sword shadows as he brought the first three moves of Star Point Swordplay to their fullest, Lamplight Shine, Starlight Beacon, Sparks Set Prairie Ablaze—the sword shadows were dense and countless, each strike faster than the last, Especially under his swordsmanship at the Profound Realm, the threat he posed to his opponent was even greater, Facing their joint assault, Pang Feilong's face twisted further as he roared, "Damn it! All of you, die!"

Dragon in the Sky!

With a roar, the large saber in his hand whirled rapidly, forming several afterimages before him, Overwhelming force surged toward them as he hacked viciously upward from below, sending Bai Ze and Li Qiuyu flying, Facing Pang Feilong's powerful strike, Bai Ze caught the opening in his opponent's chest. At the instant he was sent flying, he forcibly twisted his body in midair, Then thrust out the longsword in his hand, a streak of white light flashing like lightning, Whoosh!

But he also endured the opponent's fierce counterattack. Pain exploded in his chest, and he was sent flying backward again before crashing heavily to the ground, The moment he landed, he quickly rolled to his feet and spat out a mouthful of blood, But Pang Feilong was no better off. That strike had successfully left a bloody hole in his abdomen, One hand braced himself with his saber while the other clutched the wound on his stomach, his eyes fixed viciously on Bai Ze, Blood flowed from his mouth as he said unwillingly, "Damn it. I should have killed you in advance back when we were in the Black Tiger Gang."

"I never thought that the ant from back then could reach this point today. I refuse to accept this! Why? On what grounds?!"

Pfft!

His rage had attacked his heart, and Pang Feilong could not help spewing another mouthful of blood, Yet his face became even more savage, like a demon that had crawled out of hell, But Bai Ze would not give him another chance. Gripping his longsword tight, he charged at him once more, Li Qiuyu beside him was also at the end of her strength, but supported by her resolve for revenge, she gritted her teeth and attacked again, "Ahhh!!!"

"Come on, all of you, come on!"

"Die for me!"

Compared to Pang Feilong and Li Qiuyu, who were fighting desperately and whose attacks had become somewhat disorderly, Bai Ze remained exceptionally calm, His longsword flashed like lightning, carving wound after wound across Pang Feilong's body from all kinds of tricky angles, At the same time, he searched for an opportunity amid the dense Blade Light Sword Shadow, Then, a chilling light brimming with killing intent flashed in Bai Ze's eyes as he unleashed his strongest sword strike yet, The fourth move of Star Point Swordplay—Stars Shining, Whoosh!

Amid the endless afterimages, waves of sword hums rang out, and a streak of icy white light flashed past, In the blink of an eye, every sword shadow vanished. Bai Ze's longsword had already pierced Pang Feilong's throat, killing him in a single strike, Even if he had a thousand unwilling thoughts, he could only stare wide-eyed as, after Bai Ze pulled out his longsword, he collapsed into a pool of blood.

After taking two steps back, Bai Ze too was gasping heavily.

Li Qiuyu was in an even worse state. Once Pang Feilong finally died and the faith holding her together scattered, she directly fainted.

Bai Ze did not dare linger for long, lest Blood Wolf follow their trail and catch up.

He quickly searched Pang Feilong twice, then hoisted Li Qiuyu over his shoulder and swiftly fled the place.

Several hours later, the sky gradually brightened.

Bai Ze had traveled through the entire night. Added to the injuries he had suffered in the earlier battle, his body was already utterly exhausted.

After finding a cave, he directly tossed Li Qiuyu onto the ground.

"Mm."

A soft sound escaped her lips, but Bai Ze paid it no mind.

Instead, he tore open the clothing over his chest, swiftly took out medicinal powder for treating injuries from the bundle on his back, and sprinkled it over the wound.

He tore his clothes into strips and quickly bandaged himself up.

Only after dealing with his own injuries did he look toward Li Qiuyu beside him.

Compared to him, her injuries were far more severe, and she had far more wounds. If she was not treated in time, she probably would not last much longer.

As Bai Ze looked at her bloodstained face, he could not help but find it somewhat breathtaking.

But there was no time to care about that now. She had too many wounds, and her clothes were in the same state, so he simply helped her take them all off.

Calling it taking them off was much the same as directly tearing apart her already tattered clothes.

A few minutes later—

Looking at her flawless, snow-white skin and graceful, curvaceous figure, even Bai Ze, a seasoned old hand in his previous life, could not help swallowing.

At the same time, he recalled a line he had seen in his previous life.

<Through the ages, no beauty beyond compare! Pleasing to the eye, she is a fair maiden! A face to topple kingdoms and cities! Stunning all beneath heaven!>

Ahem, ahem. He was thinking too much.

If he did not save her now, no matter how beautiful she was, she would still die.

A moment later—

Bai Ze had already sprinkled the medicinal powder from before over her wounds and used her clothes to bandage them.

As for whether she could pull through, that could only depend on herself.

After settling these matters, Bai Ze went over to the side and sat down, recovering while pondering how they should proceed.

Although he roughly knew where this place was, getting to Pingfeng City still required more thought.

At the very least, they could not take the previous road. Once Blood Wolf saw Pang Feilong's corpse, he would certainly realize they had not died.

And precisely because of that, he would surely set up blockades on every road leading to Pingfeng City.
