Chapter 1014 - 277: Frostblade as Brush, Masterful Stratagems; Luring the Enemy, Crushing the Stubborn—Feiyang Unfolds

The front end of the Dog-Beating Stick suddenly bent, resembling a venomous snake poised for a fatal strike, carrying a sharp gust of wind as it shot rapidly towards Xue Qiuchun’s white, jade-like throat, intent on ending her life.

Xue Qiuchun was overwhelmed with fear, her mind in chaos, as if countless little deer were crashing around inside her heart.

She instinctively raised her Long Sword to block, but her actions were slightly delayed due to her panic.

The Long Sword barely managed to hold off the Dog-Beating Stick, but the powerful impact spread through her body like a surging undercurrent, making her stagger and almost fall to the ground. At this moment, she was already drenched in fragrant sweat, fine beads of sweat covering her beautiful face, and her hair disheveled, half-covering her face.

Her originally clear and bright beautiful eyes were now filled with tension and fear, like a startled fawn.

Her heart trembled incessantly, with a voice echoing repeatedly in her mind: "Am I really going to die here today? Young Master Shi, where are you... please come and save me..."

Her voice echoed endlessly in her heart, filled with endless despair and expectation.

Wu Shi, however, was like a tireless demon, giving Xue Qiuchun no chance to catch her breath at all.

Immediately after, he executed another move, "Dog’s Eyes."

The Dog-Beating Stick in his hand rotated rapidly, raising a whirlwind, howling like countless evil spirits roaring.

The Dog-Beating Stick madly stabbed at Xue Qiuchun’s vital points, each thrust carrying a deadly threat.

Xue Qiuchun only felt dark shadows flickering before her eyes, with Wu Shi’s shadow-like attacks coming from all directions.

She seemed to be falling into a dark abyss, unable to find a shred of light.

Though she exerted all her strength, wielding her Long Sword and displaying the various exquisite moves of the "Lady Sword" technique to counter, under Wu Shi’s frenzied assault, her resistance seemed so feeble.

Another few bloodstains marked her body, the bright red blood flowing slowly down her jade-like skin, dripping onto the cold ground, creating vivid yet tragically beautiful blood flowers.

Despair filled Xue Qiuchun’s heart, every swing of her Long Sword used her entire strength, which was her last struggle.

Yet Wu Shi’s attacks seemed endless, wave after wave, gradually making her feel increasingly powerless.

Xue Qiuchun’s consciousness began to blur, the scenes before her eyes becoming hazy, yet only Shi Feiyang’s figure grew clearer and more profound in her mind.

She seemed to see Shi Feiyang charging towards her, calling her name, a voice filled with urgency and concern.

Her lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, in which there was a sense of consolation, a sense of expectation, as if telling Shi Feiyang, "I have always been waiting for you, hurry and come..."

Suddenly, a deafening "clang," like a clap of thunder on a clear day, echoed across the battlefield that had become a Human Purgatory. The sound, wrapped in endless despair and fear, pierced straight into Xue Qiuchun’s heart, making her soul tremble.

Xue Qiuchun’s face turned pale with fright, her delicate body trembled violently, like a startled fawn shivering in a storm.

Her eyes were tightly shut, her long eyelashes trembling like fluttering butterfly wings.

At that moment, Xue Qiuchun’s mind was filled with despair, convinced she would perish under Wu Shi’s cruel stick.

Tears uncontrollably overflowed from her tightly shut eyes, like pearls with the string cut, slowly sliding down her white, jade-like, delicate cheeks. In this blood-soaked hillside, her pitiful demeanor was like a heartbreaking, stunning painting, evoking tender feelings in those who saw her. However, at this critical, life-and-death moment, Xue Qiuchun suddenly felt herself gently embraced into a wide and warm embrace by a pair of powerful arms.

That embrace, like an indomitable fortress, exuded an aura of reassurance, tightly protecting Xue Qiuchun within, giving her an endless sense of security. Her once chaotic and desperate heart, miraculously calmed down in an instant, like a lone boat drifting on a vast ocean that finally found a tranquil harbor.

It turned out that after successfully vanquishing Ancient Wood, Shi Feiyang’s concerned heart had been focused entirely on Xue Qiuchun’s safety.

He utilized the "Deep Concealment of Body and Name" Mysterious Lightness Technique, his entire being like a dazzling white comet, slicing through the night sky with resolute determination, rushing swiftly towards Xue Qiuchun to rescue her.

At this moment, he firmly grasped the Celestial Frost Blade, its blade glowing coldly under the dim moonlight, silently proclaiming the impending slaughter, as if declaring its authority against the world’s evil.

He moved like lightning, so fast as to be almost impossible to perceive, like a breeze passing in an instant.

He suddenly swung his blade, this blow carrying an overwhelming force, as if capable of cleaving through all darkness and evil in the world, directly sweeping away Wu Shi’s fierce Dog-Beating Stick.

The blade’s light flashed, like lightning streaking across the night sky, illuminating the desperate world of Xue Qiuchun.

Then, he extended his long arm, his movement as gentle as handling the most precious and fragile treasure in the world, gently pulling Xue Qiuchun into his embrace.
