Chapter 1604: Chapter 1426: Stormy Night in Jianghu

This kind of Gu only requires physical contact to work.

However, in front of those strange flute sounds, Yeguo didn’t react at all.

He once again raised his sword, the tip of which targeted the Clan Chief, and at the very end of the sword, an odd-looking insect had already been pierced through completely.

In the midst of the Clan Chief’s horror, Yeguo thrust his sword towards him again.

Just like that, they fought dozens more rounds.

They fought until the mountain leaves fluttered and the dead wood was scattered everywhere.

The Clan Chief grew more and more panic-stricken with each bout, while Yeguo seemed to grow stronger.

It was as if his earlier actions were merely a warm-up.

In the final moment, Yeguo moved as swift as the wind, as quick as lightning, and charged at the Clan Chief with all his might.

In an instant, Yeguo’s tall figure appeared on the other side.

And the Clan Chief slowly fell to the ground.

It was a while before blood began to seep from his wounds, slowly soaking the grass beside him.

Hong Yan and Bei Shan watched, dumbfounded.

Even Yun Xiao, who had fallen to one side, was surprised for a long time.

What fast swordsmanship!

In the Southern Zhao country, absolutely no swordsmanship as fast as this could be found, amazingly so in this seemingly restrained and quiet man, with such an explosive power!

The man in black, seeing the Clan Chief fall, tried to flee, but could not escape Yeguo’s eyes. He had not yet reached the rooftop when he was struck by Yeguo’s flying sword and fell behind the bushes, breathing his last shortly after.

Hong Yan, Bei Shan, and the others all collapsed in the bushes, thankful for Yeguo’s presence, else none of them could have left today.

Knowing Hong Yan and Bei Shan were less injured, Yeguo first walked over to Yun Xiao and pressed a few of his acupoints, helping him seem a bit revived.

Then, Yeguo looked at Yun Xiao and said, "Thank you for protecting Dabao for me!"

Yun Xiao shook his head, "It’s what I should do."

"I plan to immediately take Xia Dabao back to the Central Plains. Do you guys want to come with me?"

"No need," Yun Xiao slowly sat up. After the man who set the Gu died, the Gu naturally resolved itself. He said, "I am a man of the Southern Zhao Nation after all. Now that the Clan Chief is dead, we need to face our responsibilities. Otherwise... we will be pursued everywhere."

"If your Witch King is wise, he shouldn’t punish you severely."

"I hope so," Yun Xiao chuckled bitterly.

Yeguo went to pick up Xia Dabao and was about to leave when Yun Xiao suddenly called out, "Uncle, wait a moment."

Yeguo turned to look at Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao took out a pill from his robe, and with some difficulty, walked to Xia Dabao, "Uncle, this is Southern Zhao’s Forgetful Pill. Eating it will make Dabao forget everything that happened here in the Southern Zhao. After all, it’s not a pleasant memory."

Especially that final moment seeing the Clan Chief, which might haunt her for life.

Yeguo didn’t speak, which signified his consent.

And so Yun Xiao slowly fed the pill to Xia Dabao.

But as he did, many memories flashed through his mind.

Their first encounter on the bridge, memories in the Chi Xia tribe, that drunken moment calling her ’wife’, and the days protecting her vibrantly echoed in his mind.

Noisy, chattering, fond of teasing others, yet with a gentle and kind heart – that was Xia Dabao.

After finishing feeding the pill, he looked at Yeguo, "It’s done, you can take her away now."

"Thank you," Yeguo said, putting particular emphasis on these words.

After speaking, he turned and quickly vanished into the jungle.

Behind him, Hong Yan and Bei Shan also began to rise, with Bei Shan commenting, "Yun Xiao, you’re a fool. That girl relied so much on you, how could you let her forget everything here completely?"

"She ultimately doesn’t belong here," Yun Xiao replied.

"But you almost gave your life for her, and once she recovers, she might even return to repay you with her life! Wait, could it be you want to marry the Saintess?"

"I’m marrying no one," Yun Xiao said, and then told Bei Shan, "The Witch King must be searching for us everywhere by now, let’s hurry back."
