King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 467: Chapter 169: Courage and Wisdom: Bai Zhi Steals the Map for Her Beloved (Part 4)

The razor-sharp blade energy easily sliced through the poisonous insects.

Then, the blade light, like a meteor, fiercely slashed towards Bai Zhi.

Although Bai Zhi tried her best to dodge, she still couldn’t completely avoid it and was struck by the fierce blade energy, severely injured, and eventually fell to the ground.

At this critical moment, ”Flying Eagle Detective” Xie Wen arrived at the scene just in time. He had been relentlessly tracking Bai Zhi’s whereabouts, relying on his extraordinary Lightweight Technique ”Feixu Qingyan Technique”, moving like a black lightning through the dense forest with ease.

When he saw Bai Zhi’s injury, his heart was instantly filled with anxiety.

He quickly took out the Celestial Silkworm Silk Net from his bosom and unhesitatingly threw it in the direction of Fujiwara Sonjirou.

The Celestial Silkworm Silk Net rapidly unfolded in the air, like a giant white flower, completely enveloping Fujiwara Sonjirou. Fujiwara swung his Japanese Saber, trying to cut through the net, but the toughness of the Celestial Silkworm Silk was beyond imagination, and he struggled in vain to escape.

Xie Wen seized this opportunity, swiftly using the Feixu Qingyan Technique, his form light as a willow catkin in the wind, in an instant arriving beside Bai Zhi. He picked up Bai Zhi and turned to swiftly head in the direction of Flying Tiger Pass.

His figure flashed through the dense forest, moving with unbelievable speed, and in the blink of an eye vanished from Fujiwara Sonjirou’s view.

Fujiwara Sonjirou watched the direction Xie Wen disappeared, his eyes gleaming with angry sparks, he struggled mightily, finally freeing himself from the net’s restraints, but by then Xie Wen had already taken Bai Zhi far away, leaving him no choice but to let out a cold snort, his figure gradually disappearing into the dense forest.

On a rugged mountain path leading to Flying Tiger Pass, a figure staggered forward, steps unsteady and slow. She was Bai Zhi.

Due to adhering to the traditional custom of men and women maintaining propriety, Xie Wen couldn’t carry Bai Zhi for long, so after flying for a while, he gently set her down and continued escorting her away from the scene.

Bai Zhi, heavily wounded, her clothes tattered and stained with fresh blood seeping from her wounds, leaving shocking trails of blood on the white snow.

Despite this, her eyes revealed unwavering determination, her hand tightly clutching the strategic map of Hailong Duntun.

That map was her entire hope and reliance.

Having braved countless hardships and ventured alone into the wolf’s den, Bai Zhi, using her bravery and extraordinary wit, skillfully maneuvered through the heavy defenses of Hailong Duntun and successfully stole the critically important strategic map.

She knew very well the significance of the map to Shi Feiyang, to the Heroic Sakura Association, and even to the entire war situation, so even though she was severely wounded, she never once thought of giving up. She understood that it was not just a map, but the key to winning the war.

When she finally stepped into Flying Tiger Pass and saw Shi Feiyang’s familiar figure, her previously tense nerves instantly relaxed.

A slight smile appeared on her lips as she used the last of her strength to walk towards Shi Feiyang.

She knew that as long as she handed this map to Shi Feiyang, all her suffering would have been worthwhile.

When Shi Feiyang saw Bai Zhi in that instant, his heart skipped a beat, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing him a sharp pain.

His eyes were filled with shock and heartache, and he rushed towards Bai Zhi without hesitation; no force could stop him.

Bai Zhi, holding the strategic map of Hailong Duntun, gently extended it to Shi Feiyang, her voice weak, saying, ”Feiyang, I got it...”

However, before she could finish her words, she felt her body growing heavier, eventually collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Shi Feiyang was urgently worried, and he quickly tossed the map aside.

The map traced a beautiful arc in the air, gently falling to the ground.

In Shi Feiyang’s heart, Bai Zhi’s safety was the most important thing; everything else became insignificant.

He hurriedly extended his arms, catching Bai Zhi steadily, his voice trembling as he called out, ”Bai Zhi, wake up, don’t scare me!”

At this moment, ”Iron Palm” Wu Zhong, ”Divine Archer” Miao Menlong, ”Iron Flute Scholar” Xiang Kun, ”Water Dragon” Jin Liufu, and others just happened to return.

Upon learning that Bai Zhi was severely injured yet still succeeded in stealing the strategic map of Hailong Duntun, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions, a blend of surprise, joy, excitement, and sadness.

They all rushed to see Bai Zhi, concern and worry written all over their faces.

Wu Zhong said with admiration, ”Miss Bai Zhi, you are indeed a heroine among women! Venturing alone into Hailong Duntun, such courage makes us men feel inferior!”

Miao Menlong also nodded in praise, ”Indeed, the dangers along this journey must have been unimaginable, but Miss Bai Zhi, with her wit, not only came out unscathed but also successfully obtained the map, truly admirable!”

Xiang Kun gently stroked his beard, sighing, ”Such courage and wisdom are truly rare in Jianghu. Miss Bai Zhi, for the sake of our Heroic Sakura Association, for the greater cause, risked her life; such spirit is truly worthy of admiration.”

Jin Liufu then shouted loudly, ”Miss Bai Zhi, you are the heroine of our Jianghu! If ever you need a favor from Jin Liufu in the future, just speak up!”
