Chapter 66: Dan Medicine Saves Yingqiong

  "Kill, don't let them get away!" A big man wielding a long knife shouted loudly to the crowd behind him, but just as the people behind him were desperately rushing forward, this big man suddenly turned around and ran quickly towards the back like a rabbit.

  A stream of bright red blood gathered into a small river, inside the river, Yi Chu, wearing a green short shirt, swung his long sword like flying, wherever the sword passed, corpses fell to the ground.

  "Quick, use hidden weapons to deal with him!" Someone shouted, and soon flying knives, flying darts, flying needles... all sorts of hidden weapons came pouring down on Yi Chu like raindrops.

  "Looking for death", Yi Chu sneered, the laughter was short and cold-blooded, his face became even more ferocious, the long sword in his hand trembled, and the blood-red blade edge transformed into a three-meter-long light column, sweeping horizontally forward. Wherever the blade edge passed, all the hidden weapons turned into pieces of scrap iron, clattering to the ground, and those who launched the hidden weapons were also beheaded by Yi Chu one by one.

  Bodies littered the ground, blood flowing like rivers. Over a hundred Jianghu people who came for the sake of the Ascension Token all died under Yi Chu's long sword.

  This was the thirteenth ambush that Yi Chu and Li Yingqiong had encountered, each time their opponents were much stronger than before, but every time they ended up being defeated under Yi Chu's long sword.

  After putting away his sword, Yi Chu looked at Li Yingqiong who was leaning against Zhu Dian's side, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, soon after, his smile froze because on Li Yingqiong's snow-white chest, a striking bloodstain was slowly flowing.

  Li Yingqiong is injured!

  Yi Chu was shocked in her heart and quickly ran to Li Yingqiong's side, with concern filling her eyes.

  Although only in her teens, Li Yingqiong, who was still in the prime of her youth, had a natural shyness. Being stared at by Yi Chu at such close range, her face suddenly flushed bright red, she opened and closed her mouth, stuttering for half a day before stammering: "Yi Gege, n-nothing."

  Blood was still flowing, and looking at Li Yingqiong's increasingly pale face, Yi Chu didn't hesitate, without saying a word, stretched out his hand to lift the blood-soaked collar. The scene before him was absolutely beyond Yi Chu's expectation: there was a silver nail stuck right next to Li Yingqiong's Zhongting acupoint!

  Although the possibility of this silver nail being poisonous was not great, at this time, Yi Chu did not dare to be careless. What made Yi Chu puzzled was that Li Yingqiong insisted on holding onto it tightly and refused to let go. He still didn't understand what was going on and didn't care about Li Yingqiong's embarrassed attempts to cover up, he simply flipped open the injured area! A faint scent of a girl's body wafted over.

  She took out the silver nail and pulled out some wound medicine she had searched for, applying it to Li Yingqiong's injured area. Looking at Li Yingqiong's tightly clenched teeth in pain, Yi Chu felt a sense of self-blame in her heart.

  Li Yinglin had just entrusted her sister to herself when she got hurt, fortunately the injury was not fatal, otherwise, how could she be accountable to her brother's spirit in heaven. After a moment of contemplation, Yi Chu took out the most precious black gourd and opened it, pouring out a red dan medicine that appeared in his hand.

  "Yingqiong, hurry up and take it, it's good for you." Yi Chu handed the dan medicine to Li Yingqiong.

  At this moment, Li Yingqiong's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Just now, watching Yi Chu, a big man, tearing open her collar and insisting on applying medicine to that unguarded area, she felt full of annoyance, embarrassment, and shyness, but more so, she felt moved and warm.

  After Yu Chu urged her twice, Li Yingqiong, who was in a daze, finally came to herself and took the dan medicine from Yu Chu with a red face.

  "Yingqiong, what's wrong with you? Are you running a fever? If you're not feeling well, tell Yidage quickly." Yi Chu looked at Li Yingqiong with concern, her face bright red.

  When in the army, the wounded soldiers feared fever the most. Seeing Li Yingqiong's face all red and swollen made Yi Chu worried.

  "It's okay, Brother Yi, I'm really fine." As Li Yingqiong spoke, she swallowed the red dan medicine that Yi Chu had given her.

  The elixir in the black gourd not only helped Yi Chuxiu cultivate, but also had a great therapeutic effect on injuries. After taking the elixir, Li Yingqiong felt a surge of heat rushing towards her wound, and the intense pain that was tearing at her wound just moments before was greatly alleviated under the soothing effects of the heat.

  "Easy brother, this is just a small wound, it's a bit of an overkill!" Li Yingqiong didn't know what kind of pill E Chu gave her, but with such an amazing healing effect, it must be something extraordinary.

  "Yingqiong, in Yidage's eyes, even the best medicine is not as important as your safety, little sister. Yidage must let you recover from your injuries as soon as possible." As he spoke, Yichu habitually patted Li Yingqiong's head gently.

  Li Yingqiong pouted, giving Yi Chu a big white eye. She hated it the most when he always looked at her with such an old-fashioned and condescending attitude, as if she was still a child. She said stubbornly: "Yi Gege, I've told you many times already, stop treating me like a kid!"

  "Uh, I forgot, really forgot. This time I promise, next time I won't pat your head again." For this subconscious action, Yi Chu seemed to be used to it, every time provoking Li Yingqiong's anger, until Yi Chu had to softly and warmly guarantee a few times before he could get away with it.

  Helplessly looking at Yi Chu for a moment, Li Yingqiong didn't say anything else. But Yi Chu had fallen into deep thought at this time.

  The black gourd was grasped in Yi Chu's hand, and at this moment, it was several shades darker than before, and even more inconspicuous. However, it was precisely this gourd that was providing Yi Chu with a steady stream of medicinal pellets. And almost every day during his rest time, Yi Chu would ponder over this gourd.

  There are indeed many red elixirs in the gourd, and at least 1,800 of the people from the rivers and lakes who were beheaded by Yī Chǔ in recent days. The souls of these figures from the rivers and lakes have all been collected into the gourd space by the black gourd, and when the time comes, they will turn into red elixirs.

  However, Yi Chu doesn't have a great demand for the red dan medicine now. What he wants most is the Golden Needle. Unfortunately, except for Sha Sheng Dao Ren and Wang Luo, who were able to cultivate the Golden Needle under his guidance, no one else was able to succeed in cultivating it.

  If there were over a thousand golden needles in this gourd, and he could release all of them instantly when encountering a powerful enemy, then even if he met Song Yuandu again, Yi Chuxin would have the confidence to put up a good fight. However, now, he was only able to refine two golden needles.

  "Yingqiong, from here to Huatian Mountain there are two roads. One is the main road, and the other requires going through the 500-mile Longtan Mountains. Although this road is a bit difficult, compared to those detestable Jianghu figures, it's actually much safer. I think we should take this road." After being silent for a long time, Yichu suddenly spoke up.

  Li Yingqiong was originally intelligent, and Yi Chu did this, how could she not understand. Looking at the man who sheltered her from the wind and rain, she swept away the gloom that had been shrouding her heart for days, and added a sense of thick security.

  "Okay, big brother Yi, let's go wherever you say."
