Chapter 161 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (30)

With all her strength, Bai Tang’s ten fingers sank into the large rock. With a forceful swing, she hurled the large rock away, leaving a huge recess in the rock face. Bai Tang swiftly darted into the newly created cavity.

Unfazed, she ripped off her blood-soaked clothes with a stoic expression, wrapping the five fingers, now dripping with blood. Despite her formidable strength, her mortal body couldn’t escape the consequences of forcefully throwing such a large rock. As it detached, friction scraped away at her flesh, leaving her hand a bloody mess.

It was undeniably perilous, maintaining high tension throughout the entire process. Now nestled in the stone cave, Yaoyao let out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Bai Tang was a formidable master. Otherwise, escaping from this predicament would have been nearly impossible.

Above, on the cliff, the battle raged on.

In the midst of the dense barrage of arrows and rocks, Qi Jiayan doubted that Bai Tang could survive and make it out alive.

Having achieved his goal, Qi Jiayan ordered a retreat.

As for Weng Quan and Tantai Ziheng, Qi Jiayan chose to leave them for now. Weng Quan had a unique status, and Tantai Ziheng was the Young Villa Master of the Divine Sword Villa. He decided not to act against the Divine Sword Villa for the time being.

Once the disciples of the Blood Devil Cult had departed, Weng Quan and Tantai Ziheng were covered in wounds of all sizes, almost entirely soaked in blood. Both of them paid no attention to their injuries and rushed to the edge of the cliff.

Weng Quan’s fingers dug into the ground, blood oozing out. Panic surged through him, and he shouted, “Female Hero Bai! Female Hero Bai!”

Tantai Ziheng, on the verge of fainting, kept murmuring, “Lady Yao… I’m useless. I couldn’t stop her.”

“Blame it on this damned woman—you won’t die again, will you?”

Qi Jiayan hid in the shadows, relishing the scene.

The regret, heartache, and panic in their voices and emotions made people feel happy just by looking at them.

Weng Quan turned his face and said, “Fifteen days. Female Hero Bai specifically told me, at the latest, in fifteen days, she will return. I believe she can come back.”

Tantai Ziheng threw a punch at Weng Quan. “Who do you think you are? Just because you say she can come back, she can?”

Weng Quan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed, “Young Villa Master, you really are contemptible. I thought you had some backbone when you slipped out of the Divine Sword Villa. At a time like this, you don’t even hold a glimmer of hope. You claim to love Young Lady Yaoyao, yet I believe in Female Hero Bai. Since you think she won’t come back, why don’t you leave or jump down and join her!”

It was quite funny. Revenge was at hand, yet this betrothed showed no interest in revenge at all. Even as her betrothed, he was still preoccupied with comparing himself to the deceased relatives of Young Lady Yaoyao, obsessing over which held greater significance.

Weng Quan walked to the side, took out some dry rations, and started eating.

Fifteen days, the time frame Bai Tang had given him, was also the last chance he gave himself. Somehow, he had developed feelings for this mysterious Female Hero Bai.

Fifteen days? Well, then he would wait for another fifteen days.

Qi Jiayan, who had initially been prepared to leave, overheard the mention of fifteen days from Weng Quan. He didn’t believe Bai Tang could survive. The cliffs of the Narrow Heaven were smooth and steep, he had observed their archery and rock-throwing tactics. They were all aimed at hugging the wall, guiding arrows and rocks along the smooth surface. 

Qi Jiayan scrutinized the location where Bai Tang had jumped. He had thoroughly examined the area within a two-hundred-meter radius on either side, and he believed the chances of survival were extremely slim.

Yet, recalling that day when Bai Tang’s heart was pierced and blood flowed incessantly, when she killed his elite disciples and almost killed him, Qi Jiayan became uncertain once again.

Bai Tang took a short nap in the stone cave she had purposely created. When she woke up, she found that the entrance had been blocked at some point. Bai Tang kicked the rock blocking the entrance. After confirming that no more arrows or rocks were coming down, she peeked out.

Despite the multitude of arrows and rocks that Qi Jiayan had thrown down, when she looked down, everything was still shrouded in obscurity. The limitations of this mortal body were indeed substantial.
