Chapter 143 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (12)

The small peddler suddenly exclaimed, “Two hours ago, I didn’t see a young lady in green. What I saw was a young hero in men’s clothing, carrying a person covered in blood. The clothes were soaked in blood, and the color couldn’t be distinguished. However, there were indeed two blades hanging from the waist, and the face was quite pale…”

Tantai Ziheng felt dizzy for a moment, his heart trembling. A person covered in blood? How severe were Lady Yao’s injuries? Hurriedly, he asked, “Do you know where they went?”

The small peddler replied, “They asked about the nearest medical hall. They should have gone there.”

Seeing Tantai Ziheng in great urgency, the peddler quickly pointed him the way. Tantai Ziheng didn’t dare delay and promptly took his sword to find Lady Yao.

In the Blood Devil Cult.

The Venerable Lord calculated the time and realized that the dispatched individuals had not returned yet, fearing that they might not return at all.

Thinking this way, a disciple came to report, “Venerable Lord, we found their bodies. Most of our people died from blade wounds, and a few from sword injuries.”

The eerie atmosphere in the dark hall grew colder, and the Venerable Lord’s eyes glinted with hostility. “Where did Bai Tang escape to?”

Nearly half of the cult’s elite disciples died at Bai Tang’s hands, making the Venerable Lord’s mood worse.

The disciple lowered his body and reported, “We carefully observed the surroundings and found some traces on the road leading to Xiaoyao Town. Judging from the signs, Bai Tang should have fled to Xiaoyao Town.”

The Venerable Lord’s gaze became even deeper. With the terrifying mask on his face, his expressions were hidden. Even those who had followed him for years couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Waving his hand, he dismissed them.

In Xiaoyao Town.

The female apprentice had already treated Bai Tang’s wounds, bandaging them neatly. Their physician even sent disciples to buy two sets of clothing, one for a woman and one for a man.

Everyone was astonished. Bai Tang had such severe injuries, yet she was still alive. She endured without making a sound, not even a frown when removing the rotting flesh.

Wounds on Weng Quan’s body were also treated, and they both changed into clean clothes. The female apprentice confirmed that everything was fine before Weng Quan came in.

Bai Tang was wearing a bright yellow outfit at this moment, a vibrant and warm color that accentuated her already pale face.

The female apprentice sighed, “Young lady, you’re truly fortunate. I’ve never seen anyone with a sword piercing through the heart and another beside it—bleeding so much—and still not uttering a word. I just cut away the rotting flesh, doesn’t it hurt, young lady?”

The female apprentice had witnessed her master dealing with similar situations, where four or five apprentices had to restrain the person to prevent excessive struggling due to pain. When she was treating Bai Tang, she was initially concerned, but she found Bai Tang remarkably cooperative, not making a sound or furrowing her brows.

On the other hand, Weng Quan was shocked to the core. He only knew that Bai Tang was injured, and her wound had reopened, causing bleeding. However, he was unaware of the severity of her injuries.

“Female Hero Bai… You…”

Bai Tang curved her lips, revealing a smile, “I do have pain receptors, you know. Of course, it hurts. Not only that, because my heartbeat is exceptionally weak, almost gone, my whole body feels cold and stiff.”

Female apprentice, “…”

Weng Quan, “…”

The female apprentice, with a touch of authority, crossed her arms, “I don’t care what you usually do, but now you’re in the medical hall, and you need to listen to me. You must rest well and not move around. At least a month of proper rest is necessary for your recovery.”

Bai Tang agreed promptly, “Alright, alright, little fairy, your master is looking for you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the female apprentice indeed heard her master’s voice. However, she added, “Don’t call me ‘little fairy.’ Just lie down properly.”

Bai Tang, “…”

Bai Tang teased, “Then… what about the beautiful, kind, gentle and charming, graceful, bright-eyed, and radiant as spring, as well as pure as the moonlight little fairy sister?”
