Offering Pills to Aid Recovery, the Waterfall Shattered and the Moon-Piercing Edge Emerged

"After taking such a long detour, he shouldn't still be following me, right?"

Jianlongzi had once again been drained dry by the Sword Controlling Technique. His flight path had gone crooked and erratic, and several times he had nearly crashed into the cliff face. His Golden Core had shriveled until it was almost ready to crack.
