King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 457: Chapter 167: Retaking Flying Tiger Pass, Everlasting Heroic Bonds

In order to save the innocent civilians, and to rescue the disciples of the Heroic Sakura Association, a glint of determination flashed in Shi Feiyang’s eyes as he relentlessly pursued Yang Yaohui without hesitation.

He activated the highest level of the Bright Jade Technique—”Infinite Asura.” In an instant, an immensely powerful chill surged from within him, like a storm from a land of extreme cold.

The surrounding air instantly solidified, and a thick layer of frost rapidly formed on the ground, spreading outwards from him as the center.

Shi Feiyang’s body moved like lightning, resembling a black illusion, as he charged towards the underground cellar.

The Celestial Frost Blade in his hand emitted a dazzling cold light, intending to tear through the endless darkness.

At the moment of rushing into the cellar, he used all his strength to stab the Celestial Frost Blade into the ground.

The powerful chill spread along the ground, like a roaring ice dragon, instantly freezing the mechanism.

As the mechanism was sealed in ice, a muffled sound echoed, successfully averting the impending disaster.

Bai Zhi, anxious and frantic, dashed madly towards the direction of the Underground Palace, her hair wildly flying in the wind. Her eyes were full of urgency and worry, at this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: to see Shi Feiyang as soon as possible to confirm if he was safe and sound.

When she finally reached the front of the Underground Palace and saw Shi Feiyang’s tall yet slightly fatigued figure, her taut heartstrings instantly relaxed.

Her eyes grew hot, tears burst forth uncontrollably, and she threw the spiked silver stick in her hand with force, drawing an arc in the air before it clattered to the ground.

Immediately thereafter, she opened her arms and, without any regard, rushed towards Shi Feiyang and tightly embraced him.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she poured all her emotions into this embrace with all her might. She buried her face into Shi Feiyang’s chest, mumbling to herself, ”Feiyang, it’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay...”

At this time, Qi Meizhen and the members of the Heroic Sakura Association also hurriedly arrived.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qi Meizhen’s heart clenched sharply, a sour feeling surged in her chest.

A complex expression flitted across her eyes, an emotion tinged with both heartache and tenderness.

Watching Bai Zhi and Shi Feiyang’s tight embrace, ripples of emotion stirred in her heart.

Once, she and Shi Feiyang had weathered many storms together, and despite the reality of Shi Feiyang having Gong Simeng as his wife, she defied societal expectations to marry him. Her feelings for Shi Feiyang were no less intense than Bai Zhi’s.

Seeing Bai Zhi hugging Shi Feiyang so intimately at this moment, Qi Meizhen couldn’t help but feel a bit of discomfort.

However, this feeling only lingered in her heart for a moment before her gaze gradually turned gentle and serene.

She gently closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her mind recalling the thrilling combat scenes from earlier.

If it weren’t for Bai Zhi and Master Hanlu’s desperate efforts, if it weren’t for Master Hanlu’s self-sacrificing heroics, how could they have retaken Flying Tiger Pass so smoothly? How could Shi Feiyang stand here unharmed?

Thinking of this, Qi Meizhen’s heart brimmed with admiration and gratitude for Master Hanlu and Bai Zhi. Their willingness to sacrifice their lives for everyone, their courage and responsibility were truly moving.

Qi Meizhen slowly opened her eyes, a sincere smile appearing on her face. She stepped forward and said to the tightly embracing Bai Zhi and Shi Feiyang, ”Bai Zhi, welcome to the Heroic Sakura Association. You and Master Hanlu are the people we admire the most. Without you, today’s victory would not have been possible.”

The heroes of the Heroic Sakura Association also nodded in agreement with Qi Meizhen’s words.

Their eyes were filled with recognition and respect for Bai Zhi, for in this bloody battle, the courage and self-sacrifice demonstrated by Bai Zhi and Master Hanlu won everyone’s admiration.
