The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2419: I Saved You (3)

"Hurry it up," Dao Xuzi urged, giving Ming Guang a nudge on the back. "Ensure you give them a sound thrashing."

Ming Guang moved with incredible speed, bisecting one of the herbalists right at the waist. Yet, astonishingly, the severed lower half of the body still lunged at Ming Guang.

Unfazed, Ming Guang dispersed the attacking legs, but by then, the remaining medicinal soldiers had already launched their assault.

These medicinal soldiers were imbued with a certain martial prowess; their nerves were dulled, yet their movements were unhindered. Furthermore, they felt no pain, meaning unless one could dispatch them with a single, decisive blow, engaging them placed you at a significant disadvantage.

Ming Guang's Inner Strength was exceptionally potent, and with merely a few well-placed strikes, he could shatter his opponents into pieces. However, such immense power could not be sustained indefinitely; even with a robust Inner Strength, he was incapable of shattering them with every single attack. Consequently, dismembered herbalists could still advance, and even those missing a leg would relentlessly hop towards him.

"This will not do; I am finished fighting," Ming Guang declared after felling seven or eight of them, his energy depleted. He retreated, exclaiming, "This is not enjoyable."

"Senior, do you not possess any medicine that could counter these herbalists?" Gu Qingheng inquired, looking towards Dao Xuzi.

Dao Xuzi shot a sideways glance at Gu Qingheng. "Those medicinal pills require dissolution in water before consumption to take effect. Do you believe you can make them drink my medicine at this moment?"

Gu Qingheng fell into a contemplative silence.

"Don't you dare chase me!" Ming Guang's desperate cries continued to reverberate.

"Let us proceed to offer assistance," Ran Lei proposed, rising to his feet.

"You would merely be squandering your life," Dao Xuzi derided Ran Lei. "Remain where you are."

Ran Lei experienced a pang of hurt from Dao Xuzi's dismissive words.

"Our objective here is to rescue individuals, is it not?" Dao Xuzi addressed Gu Qingheng, gesturing towards the cave. "Therefore, let us proceed with their rescue now."

It was only then that Gu Qingheng grasped the situation: Ming Guang's aggressive engagement had successfully diverted all the herbalists' attention. Although Ming Guang now wished to disengage, they were relentlessly pursuing him. The path to the cave's entrance was consequently clear. Gu Qingheng rubbed his nose in sheer disbelief – sometimes, fate intervened in unexpected ways.

Within the confines of the cave, Qi Jingyun maintained a facade of calmness, yet inwardly, he was filled with elation – his liberation was finally at hand.

With a resounding clang, the heavy iron gate barring the cave's entrance crashed to the ground.

Gu Qingheng entered, the Blood-drinking Sword held firmly in his grasp.

"A pleasure to meet you once more, Liu Daniu, my esteemed brother!" Qi Jingyun proclaimed with a chilling lack of emotion, his words nearly provoking Gu Qingheng to strike him.

Observing Gu Qingheng's hardened expression and his lack of response, Qi Jingyun awkwardly pursed his lips.

Gu Qingheng regarded him for a brief moment before abruptly raising his sword.

Qi Jingyun gasped – this young man intended to exact retribution.

The iron chain, threaded through his scapula, had necessitated the creation of an opening in his body through which it was passed. Now, after more than a month, the chain had become integrated with his flesh.

Severing the chain abruptly would invariably lead to its calamitous fall due to its considerable weight, tearing through flesh as it descended.

Once the searing pain mercifully subsided, Qi Jingyun let out a sigh of relief, finally unbound. "A debt so profound requires no thanks," he uttered, though he dared not utter the name Liu Daniu again.

A flicker of admiration crossed Gu Qingheng's gaze as he carefully applied medicinal powder to the wound. "On the contrary, I rescued you, so you are indebted to me."

"You..."

"Of course, if His Highness deems this insignificant, I can always re-chain you and feign ignorance of ever having found you."
