King of Hundred Victories Saber

His Blood Jade Chain lost control and wildly flailed in the air.

Shi Feiyang seized the opportunity, the ice-blue blade beam cut through the Silver Moon Disc, rendering Elder Xuanming’s support useless, instantly weakening the sonic attack.

Shi Feiyang pressed the attack, the Celestial Frost Blade darting like a dragon, leaving several bloody marks on Elder Xuanming’s body.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Elder Xuanming let out a long howl, and with the other three elders, transformed into four shadows, disappearing into the night.

The cold wind swept through the shattered snow like Ice Blade over the mighty pass, the swaying red lanterns of the victory banquet flickering in the night wind, dyeing Shi Feiyang and Guo Xiangyu’s silhouettes a deep red like blood.

”Flying Eagle Detective” Xie Wen descended gracefully, carrying Shi Xiong, pulling out various miraculous pills and potions to save the Wudang Seven, Eighteen Shaolin Stick Monks, and the heroic community.

The cold night was like ink, shattered snow wrapped in the fierce north wind swept over the mighty pass.

The remaining red lanterns at the victory banquet swayed in the wind, their flickering light casting Shi Feiyang and Guo Xiangyu’s shadows mottled like blood.

Shi Feiyang looked at the blue-purple marks left on her wrist by the silver pattern, his throat suddenly tightened, the fingertips wanting to touch suspended in mid-air, stiffening into a piece of cold ice—the scorch mark from the Blood Jade Chain on her skirt hem, resembling a hideous wound, carving into his heart.

When Guo Xiangyu plunged into his embrace, her scalding tears fell onto his dark garment, blossoming into dark red.

Her trembling fingertips clutched his sleeve, yet dared not touch a bit, only gazing at his intact body, her throat choking out suppressed sobs: ”It’s my fault for implicating you... I should have known the Wuyue Clan’s pursuit would come eventually, I shouldn’t have...” Her voice abruptly halted, tears rolling down her chin, creating dark marks on the garment, ”I shouldn’t have brought all this sin to your side.”

But Shi Feiyang lifted her face with his warm hand, gently wiped away her tears at the corner of her eye with his thumb, a faint smile tugging at his lips: ”Xiangyu, look at this snowstorm, just like when we first met. Back then the light in your eyes was brighter than these lanterns.”

The warmth from his palm was distinctive, yet it couldn’t melt the frost and snow in her eyes.

Guo Xiangyu suddenly trembled violently, collapsing like a wind-blown fallen leaf into his arms.

She buried her face in his chest, listening to that familiar heart beating, tears soaking his clothes: ”Feiyang, do you know why I always loved listening to your heartbeat?” Her voice carried a blood-crying sob, ”In the Cold Jade Palace, since childhood, every day only demonic noise pierced the ears, ice-cold to the bone. Only your heartbeat is the warmest sound in this world, making me feel alive, making me feel I can still have happiness...”

Shi Feiyang held the person in his arms tightly, countless night memories surged like tide—her resting on his shoulder, her fingertips drawing circles on his chest with tenderness; her teasingly dotting ink on his face while grinding ink for him.

And at this moment, these memories were like sharp swords, gouging his heart with countless wounds.

He spoke with difficulty: ”So... you said you wanted to meet me earlier because you’re afraid...”

”Yes! I’m afraid!” Guo Xiangyu suddenly lifted her head, eyes full of despair and sadness, like a shattered cold moon in a deep pool, ”I’m afraid the Wuyue Clan’s fate will harm you! Afraid that demonic noise will ruin your mind! Afraid that the happiness we’ve finally found is merely an illusion, breaking at a touch...”

Her nails dug deeply into his back, as if wanting to carve her soul into his flesh, ”I embroider the word ’peace’ every day, but can’t even protect myself, how can I ensure your safety?”

Surprised cries echoed in the distance, at some point, the victory banquet’s lanterns had mostly extinguished, only cold moonlight spilled over them, wrapping this destined sad farewell in a thin veil.

The cold night’s wind mixed with shattered snow passed over the mighty pass like a lament.

The victory banquet’s swaying red lanterns gradually extinguished, only a few flickered in the wind, casting Shi Feiyang and Guo Xiangyu’s silhouettes in an uncertain light, like their wavering fates.

Shi Feiyang held the person in his arms tightly, as if loosening his hold slightly would make her dissipate into the chilly night like a wisp of smoke.

”Xiangyu, if there’s a next life...” Shi Feiyang’s voice was hoarse, filled with endless longing and reluctance, but before he finished, Guo Xiangyu urgently covered his mouth with her hand.

”Don’t say it!” Her tears fell in large drops onto his hand, the hot tears quickly freezing into ice crystals in the cold night, ”I haven’t loved enough in this life, who wants to hear about a next life! I don’t want any next life, I just want this life, only want to stay by your side a moment longer, even if it’s just a moment, I would be content!”

Her voice carried a crying tone, trembling fiercely, a fear that reached into the bone and marrow, terrified that this separation might be eternal.

Moonlight was cold and fell on her opened sleeve like frost and snow.

The moon-shaped birthmark on her wrist shimmered faintly, resembling a beautiful crescent in the cold night.

”So what if I’m an escaped princess of the Wuyue Clan?” Her gaze flashed with determination, ”Even if they grind my bones with the Silver Moon Disc, put me to a thousand cuts, I will...”

Before finishing her words, she suddenly lowered her head and fiercely bit into her wrist.

Blood spouted like a fountain, staining her pure white sleeves, and also painted Shi Feiyang’s heart red.

Enduring the pain, she pressed the wound to his lips, her pale face showing an eerie cyan-purple, yet still smiled with defiance, a smile more heartbreaking than crying: ”Feiyang, you said my blood is sweeter than medicine, this time... let me be your antidote... I want to give you everything I have, my love, my blood, my life...”
