Chapter 724: Chapter 723: Only that smile was etched in his heart forever

The night was deep.

The sky, even more dim.

Suddenly, a group of men and horses arrived outside the inn.

Just as Feng Wuya pierced through two men in black with a sword charged with Sword Qi, sealing their fatal fate, the sound of horse hooves approached from afar.

Long Xinghe and Jiang Tao exchanged a look, their eyes filled with a touch of gloom.

The number of men in black had already surpassed what they could handle; with another batch arriving, they feared this night might truly be inescapable.

Long Xinghe stepped forward and grabbed hold of Feng Wuya’s belt.

"Don’t even think about making me leave!" This time, Feng Wuya had anticipated the move, and his large hand came crashing down, pinning her hand in place.

"If we’re leaving, we leave together. If you don’t, then let’s die in battle here together."

"Wuya..." Long Xinghe felt the warmth of his large palm, knowing all too well that his feelings for her were nothing more than those between comrades.

But in that moment, facing his resolute and warm gaze, her heart still couldn’t help but flutter.

Even if he held someone else in his heart, at least in this moment, they were fighting together.

"Alright, then we’ll..." But Long Xinghe’s words ended there.

The unguarded Feng Wuya suddenly felt a heaviness at his waist—his acupoint had been struck by her!

"Just learned it. You’ll break free soon enough, but for now, listen to me!"

Long Xinghe pushed hard: "Tie Xin!"

Tie Xin was already prepared; Miss Long had already given him a suggestive glance.

Catching Feng Wuya mid-air after his acupoint was struck, he spun around and immediately landed on horseback.

"Master, I’m here to help you!" Jiang Tao leapt up, sword swinging, immediately bringing down two men.

Long Xinghe said nothing; after having spent so much time beside her, Jiang Tao had developed a tacit understanding of her in battle.

Together, they cleared the way ahead for Tie Xin’s horse.

Tie Xin struck the horse’s hind, prompting a lion’s roar, which charged through the bloody path opened by Long Xinghe and Jiang Tao’s blade and sword.

In the moment Feng Wuya turned back, he only saw Long Xinghe’s slender figure completely engulfed by the men in black.

His hand clenched tightly, frozen in the final glance, as the men in black’s long sword sliced across Long Xinghe’s arm.

The deep red in his vision stimulated his surging blood.

But he could not break through his acupoint!

Tie Xin dared not look back, nor could he bear to.

Now, he could only protect the Prince and make their escape; as for everything else... he was powerless to change anything.

The horse strained with all its might, advancing without the slightest halt.

Feng Wuya continued to use his True Qi to break through the acupoint, but he distinctly felt weaker.

It was Tie Xin!

Before he could break free, Tie Xin sealed several major acupoints on his body.

Unable to gather True Qi, he was completely unable to unblock his acupoints.

In the end, Tie Xin’s strike to his neck made everything in Feng Wuya’s sight utterly blur.

"Prince, I’m sorry, you can’t let Miss Long’s efforts be in vain, you can’t... let her sacrifice be for nothing..."

This was the last sentence Feng Wuya heard before he passed out.

The journey was bumpy.

His body felt light, as if stepping on clouds.

Below was a group fighting, and the woman battling amidst blood suddenly looked up and smiled at him.

It was her! Covered in blood, both on her body and face—cold, icy blood—yet her smile was so distinct.

He wanted to go down to help her, but he couldn’t make it.

His body was too light, constantly floating on clouds, with no way to descend.

He could only watch helplessly as more and more blood flowed from her body, the frequency of swords and knives landing on her increasing.

Finally, that sharp sword, with its frightening cold light, plunged into her body.

She finally fell, collapsing into a pool of blood.

Countless swords and knives fell upon her, maiming her body beyond recognition.

Only that smile, remained forever etched in his heart...
