David’s face was pale as paper, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“puff”
Blood stained his clothes, a shocking sight.
Yun Yao was frightened and immediately helped him sit down: “Young Master! Young Master, what’s wrong?!”
David leaned against Yun Yao, panting. After a while, he weakly said, “That sword attack just now was my final attack, which I exerted with all my strength. If Qingxuan hadn’t run away, I wouldn’t have lasted three breaths.”
Yun Yao was shocked.
It turns out that David, who had seemed so intimidating and full of murderous intentions, was actually just bluffing until his last breath!
She remembered David’s domineering gaze and imposing presence, and a complex mixture of emotions rose within her.
“Young master, you”
David smiled bitterly and shook his head: “There is no other way. If we don’t scare him, we will all die here.”
Yun Yao’s eyes filled with tears, and she nodded vigorously.
He helped David up and whispered, “Young Master, let’s leave quickly. This place isn’t safe; they could react at any time.”
David nodded weakly.
Yun Yao took the Dragon Slayer Sword, helped David, and limped towards the depths of the valley.
Yun Yao helps David as they struggle to advance in the mountains.
David’s injury was more severe than expected. With most of his blood drained and him forcibly unleashing a sword attack beyond his limits, his meridians suffered severe damage, and his spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.
Every few steps, I had to stop and catch my breath for quite a while.
Yun Yao was very anxious, but did not dare to stop.
He knew that although Qingxuan and his men had been frightened and fled, they would definitely return once they regained consciousness.
“Young master, hold on a little longer.”
He whispered soothingly, “I remember there is a cave up ahead, let’s go there and hide first.”
David didn’t speak, but just nodded slightly.
The two of them walked for a full hour before finally finding a hidden cave.
The cave was not big, but it was wide enough for two people to enter. The entrance is also hidden by dense vines, making it difficult to find without careful observation.
Yun Yao helped David into the cave and let him lean against the rock wall. Then he took out a pill and gave it to David.
“Young master, you should rest first. I will go out and set up a simple hiding formation, then I will come back to guard you.”
David nodded weakly, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine the medicinal power.
Yun Yao exited the cave, took out several array flags from her storage ring, and set up a simple concealment array around the cave entrance.
Although it couldn’t compare to the grand formations of those major sects, it could at least trick ordinary pursuers.
After setting up the formation, he guarded the cave entrance for a long time to ensure there were no pursuers following before returning into the cave.
David was sound asleep, his face still pale, but his breathing much more regular.
Yun Yao sat beside him, looking at his tired face, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
This man traveled thousands of miles to the Holy Land of Light to save his friend, only to be tricked, injured, and almost lost his life. But he never complained, never took a step back.
He muttered softly, “Young master, you will definitely get better soon.”
For the next three days, the two hid in the cave.
David takes medicine every day to regulate his breathing, purify his spiritual energy, and repair his damaged meridians.
Yun Yao was responsible for guarding the area, occasionally going out to gather information and pick some medicinal plants to heal David’s wounds.
After three days, David’s injury had improved significantly. Even though he hasn’t fully recovered, at least he can move normally.
That day, David was meditating in the cave when suddenly he heard faint footsteps outside.
He opened his eyes, his gaze sharpening.
Yun Yao also heard the commotion and immediately got up, taking a defensive position.
A moment later, the vines at the cave entrance parted, and several figures appeared at the entrance.
