Chu Xisheng stood with his saber in hand, watching the mounted bandits charge toward him, his thoughts racing like lightning.
It was not that fear had never stirred in his chest, or that he had never wanted to use that Wind Escape Talisman to flee.
Lu Luanli was doomed. What use was there in stubbornly staying here?
But Chu Xisheng forced all those thoughts down.
A true man knew what he must do and what he must never do.
Lu Luanli had helped him several times, regardless of the cost. Abandoning her now and leaving alone would violate honor and righteousness!
The question now was how he could break out of this predicament and save both their lives.
Chu Xisheng's gaze swept swiftly over his character screen and library panel.
-Wind-Chasing Saber Technique, Light-Cloud Movement, Origin-Nourishing Art.
He now had 26 Martial Dao Points, but upgrading those would do no good.
Even if he pushed the Wind-Chasing Blade to the fourth layer, he would still be nothing but trash before those two seventh-rank experts, unable to withstand a single blow.
There was also the Yazi saber intent.
-More than one hundred martial cultivators of ninth rank or above harbor killing intent toward you. Your Yazi saber intent has increased to weak intensity!
Useless!
He now needed fifty Martial Dao Points to raise his Yazi saber intent to the third layer.
The problem was that even third-layer Yazi saber intent could not raise his combat strength to the seventh rank.
Just then, something stirred in Chu Xisheng's mind, and he remembered something.
He opened the Martial Dao Treasury and looked at the second item icon inside.
It was the "Qin Muge 11-Year-Old Character Card (Trial Version)."
``` -Temporarily grants all of Qin Muge's combat strength at age 11. Lasts
