The wind whistled past his ears, and Gu Qian longed for the sound of warm water as his body sank.

Finally, with a thud...

He fell into the babbling brook.

He didn't know whether he was in reality or in a fantasy.

He lay there, feeling the warmth of the stream.

The stream here, just like the stream in Lingnan Village, is warm, as if it could wash away his bad luck.

It was as if his Yan Yan was right beside him.

Because his eyelids were too heavy, he fell into a deep sleep amidst the sound of flowing water.

clang clang clang—

The Qiu brothers, Dafu and Dayu, are struggling against Xiao Ke.

Throughout the entire process, they were protecting Gu Qian.

Seeing Xiao Ke slash at Gu Qian's neck again,

Qiu Dafu rolled forward and grabbed Xiao Ke's wrist, stopping his movements.

"stop!"

He couldn't persuade Qin Feng to stop, so he could only desperately resist.

"Qiu Dafu, get out of my way! Don't think I won't dare to kill you!"

Xiao Ke showed no mercy whatsoever.

He struck Qiu Dafu in the upper body with a powerful palm strike.

Qiu Dafu leaned back, then stepped forward again, blocking Gu Qian's path.

Qiu Dayu then brandished his spear, thrusting relentlessly at Xiao Ke's vital points.

But Xiao Ke struck him hard with a palm, sending him flying backward and splashing into the gentle stream.

Qiu Dayu unfortunately choked on water and coughed twice.

Seeing that his second brother was about to give up, he climbed ashore and struck Xiao Ke with all his might, but once again, Xiao Ke knocked him into the stream.

Over and over again,

Qiu Dayu was in a sorry state, but he refused to give up.

At that time, Qiu Dafu was already on the verge of collapse.

Without a doubt, he couldn't beat Xiao Ke.

Qiu Dayu was knocked into the stream for the last time and couldn't get up for a long time.

Qiu Dafu was punched in the chest by Xiao Ke.

At the same moment, Qiu Dafu swung his dagger, slashing at Xiao Ke's upper body.

Qiu Dafu staggered and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up.

Let him calm down, just a moment.

Xiao Ke was severely injured in the upper body, and blood stained most of his chest, yet he still stood upright.

Seeing that the Qiu brothers were no longer able to fight back, Xiao Ke's expression relaxed.

He walked towards Gu Qian once again.

In order to kill Gu Qian as quickly as possible, he could not afford to waste a moment. He swung his longsword and thrust it down suddenly.

"stop!"

A sudden, urgent voice rang out.

Qiu Dafu and Qiu Dayu slowly opened their eyes and finally saw their own people.

Although they were surprised, they felt a great sense of relief.

They finally bought time for the general.

Xiao Ke's men did not stop moving.

However, the sudden palm strike deflected the sword's blade.

Once again, he thrust his sword towards Gu Qian's vitals.

Suddenly, another palm strike occurred.

Immediately, his elbow was grabbed.

He turned around and saw Feng Qi.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Help has arrived!

However, recalling Feng Qi's actions just now, his expression changed from joy to anger.

"Feng Qi, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me?"

Feng Qi shook her head: "Xiao Ke, stop. His Highness no longer wants to kill him."

"No, impossible! His Highness couldn't possibly issue such an order. He hates Gu Qian so much!" Xiao Ke shook her head. "Don't think I don't know you like Gu Qian, but Feng Qi, who are you? Do you even know? You are Feng Qi, not Bai Lu!"

"That's right, she is Feng Qi, not Bai Lu!" A gust of wind rose, and upon closer inspection, it was Ling Qi flying towards Xiao Ke.

Upon waking, Bai Lu's eyes lacked the fierceness of Feng Qi's; Bai Lu was just an ordinary little woman.
