Chapter 314 The General Dies, Elixir Extends His Life
On the other side, General Fu fought hard and killed two more enemies, but he was already exhausted.
He was covered in blood, his tattered armor revealing gruesome wounds, and he swayed unsteadily like a candle in the wind.
The scene before my eyes began to blur, and I could only hold on by my belief in protecting my Lord.
Each swing of the gun seemed to exhaust all his strength, and the wobbling of the gun tip became more and more obvious.
Suddenly, a man on horseback appeared in his blurry vision, circling around to the back of Princess Qiulan.
The spear in his hand was about to pierce Princess Qiulan's back.
The princess was fighting the enemy in front of her and had no time to dodge!
He yelled, "Princess, watch out!"
General Fu rushed forward without regard for his own safety, standing firmly behind Princess Qiulan.
"Pfft-"
The enemy's spear pierced his chest without any resistance, exiting from his back and drawing out a spray of hot blood.
General Fu grunted, but gripped the spear shaft tightly, preventing the knight from advancing even an inch further.
With his last ounce of strength, he thrust his right-hand spear forward and pierced the knight's throat with deadly precision.
Princess Qiulan heard the strange noise behind her and hurriedly used her sword to knock away her opponent in front of her.
Then, turning around, she saw the horrific scene of General Fu with a spear embedded in his chest, blood gushing out like a fountain, yet still using his body to shield her.
"General Fu!" she cried out shrilly, her voice trembling.
When Afu heard this heart-wrenching cry, his heart sank, knowing that something must have happened.
He wielded his long sword wildly, and two more people fell to his blade in an instant.
Then they headed towards Princess Qiulan.
When General Fu saw Afu arrive, a glimmer of light flashed in his unfocused eyes.
He braced himself against the ground with his right spear, barely managing to steady himself.
With his left hand gripping Afu's arm tightly, he pleaded with his last breath, "Young...Young hero, you...you must take the princess...out...out..."
Before he could finish speaking, his hand fell limply to his side.
His entire body was pressed against that spear, and though he wasn't on the ground, he fell silent.
"General Fu!" Princess Qiulan burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs.
Afu gazed at the dead General Fu, then at Princess Qiulan, who was sobbing uncontrollably.
He gripped the knife tightly and said in a deep voice, "I promise you."
Although his voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable firmness.
Afu reacted quickly, pulling Princess Qiulan to his side and leaping onto an empty warhorse nearby.
He grabbed the reins, squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and said in a deep voice, "Hold on tight!"
The warhorse neighed in pain and galloped away forward, its hooves flying.
Seeing this, the enemies behind them immediately mounted their horses and gave chase.
The sound of horses' hooves thundered, echoing and reverberating along the mountain path.
Ah Fu and his two companions were no match for the superior numbers, and the enemy behind them quickly caught up.
With one hand holding the reins and the other wielding his sword, Afu drew a cold arc, forcing the knight at the front to dodge repeatedly.
But there were too many enemies, with spears and short swords attacking from both sides and behind.
He could only protect Princess Qiulan, dodging left and right on horseback.
He would turn around and retaliate from time to time, each swing of his knife carrying a bloody scent.
They fled for an unknown amount of time until it became completely dark.
The large group of pursuers had been reduced to a few survivors by Afu.
But he himself was already exhausted, and the internal energy in his dantian was almost depleted.
The warhorse he was riding was now foaming at the mouth, and as it ran, its front legs suddenly gave way and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Afu seized the opportunity to grab Princess Qiulan, and with her, they flew into the air and landed steadily.
He shielded Princess Qiulan behind him, gripped the broken, already dull blade in his hand, and stared intently at the people surrounding him.
"Can you still hold on?" Afu asked with concern without turning his head.
Princess Qiulan stood up, supporting her back, shook her head and then nodded: "I'm sorry, we've been a burden to you."
As she looked at Afu's blood-stained back, she suddenly seemed to realize something.
She asked softly, "I still don't know your name. Can you tell me?"
Afu turned his head to the side, his face smeared with blood, but a clean smile appeared on his face: "My name is Huang Zichao."
"Huang Zichao, Zichao..." Princess Qiulan murmured the name, as if she wanted to engrave it in her heart.
"Thank you. If you really can't win later, just run away first, don't worry about me!"
"Escape?" Afu twirled the knife in his hand and gripped it again.
"Since I promised General Fu, I will definitely rescue you."
"Don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, I will definitely keep you safe."
His gaze fell on the man in the lead, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
He thought to himself, "I didn't expect this person's strength to be no less than mine."
If it weren't for the fact that I had recently broken through to the Innate Realm...
They probably died by the other's sword several hours ago.
At this moment, the other party looked relaxed.
It's as if Afu and Princess Qiulan are already his possessions.
Afu looked at the leading man and knew that if he wanted to escape with Princess Qiulan, he could no longer hesitate.
He took a small cloth bag from his waist.
Then a small porcelain bottle was taken out from inside.
Pour out the last two pale blue pills from the bottle.
He looked at the two remaining pills in his hand and thought to himself, "Whether we can escape or not depends on you."
He placed one of the pills in Princess Qiulan's hand.
"This is the Azure Sea Pill. Eat it quickly; it will restore two levels of your cultivation in a short time."
Princess Qiulan looked at the pill in her hand, then at Afu, and nodded heavily.
Without any hesitation, he swallowed the pill directly.
Without any hesitation, Afu swallowed the other pill in his hand.
A cool sensation slid down his throat, and a faint trace of internal energy surged within his dantian.
While insufficient to sustain a prolonged battle, it did provide immediate relief.
The leader sneered when he saw them take the pills: "Kid, you think you can survive by taking pills? Ridiculous! Attack them and kill them!"
Before he finished speaking, the remaining people had already surrounded him in a fan shape.
Princess Qiulan gripped her sword and faced the two of them.
Afu, carrying the chipped and broken knife in his hand, faced the five men led by the man in charge.
Before they could exchange more than a few blows, two more people flanked them from the other side.
The seven men instantly formed a circle, surrounding him completely. The glint of their swords clashed under the moonlight, creating a deadly net.
"Well done!" Instead of being afraid, Afu shouted and stepped forward, charging towards the man with the knife on the left.
The man quickly raised his knife to parry.
With a loud clang, the two swords clashed.
The man felt a tremendous force coming from the blade of his sword.
Before he could recover, Afu had already taken advantage of the situation to close in, and his left leg struck him squarely in the abdomen.
The man was sent flying backwards in an instant.
He crashed heavily into his companion behind him.
The two rolled around in a ball, unable to get up for a moment.
