Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 476 Asura?! Absolutely deserving of the name!

He always thought that the short sword Gu Qingyue wore at her waist was just an ornament!

He needed to process this; he had only recently learned that Gu Qingyue possessed medical skills, and quite impressive ones at that, which had shocked him.

Now—is this really not a different person? Or has some kind of martial arts master been born?

He pierced the waist and abdomen of a gray-clad man with his sword, kicked him away, and arrived at Mu Yun Chu and Gu Qing Yue's side in a few steps.

"Your kung fu is that amazing?" He watched Gu Qingyue wield her short sword with incredible skill, his curiosity reaching its peak.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue sheathed her sword, glanced back, and chuckled, "You've probably forgotten what I looked like when we first met."

Qin Fang killed another woman in white who stepped forward with a single sword strike and asked loudly, "Do you remember?"

"Didn't I say so? I am the Silver-Masked Asura Young Master Ye!" Gu Qingyue swept her sword across, and two gray-clad men fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Silver-masked Asura?" Qin Fang was completely bewildered; he had never heard of such a thing!

All he knew was that she called herself Young Master Ye at the time.

But just from the name, you can tell—Asura?! Absolutely worthy of the name!

The next moment, Qin Fang killed even more fiercely.

Mu Yun Chu twirled her longsword in the air, swiftly turning around to block a white-clad woman attacking Gu Qing Yue's back. "Concentrate."

He was speechless at his friend's tendency to enjoy watching the drama unfold. Was this the time for gossip?

In no time, the group of men and women were knocked to the ground.

Including that arrogant and unreasonable woman from the very beginning.

Qin Fang's longsword was pressed against her neck, and she dared not move.

"Tell me, where is the Holy Maiden?" Qin Fang asked.

The woman gave him another disdainful look, as if she were looking at trash.

Gu Qingyue found it amusing; they were about to become victims of the sword, yet they remained so arrogant.

Qin Fang was speechless at the woman's appearance. He thought he would subdue her first and then interrogate her more carefully later. So, he struck her pressure points with lightning speed.

"No—" Gu Qingyue saw him make a move and hurriedly tried to stop him, but before she could, the woman was struck by Qin Fang's acupoints.

"What's wrong?" Qin Fang asked, puzzled, upon hearing Gu Qingyue's voice.

"Untie it quickly!" Gu Qingyue shouted again.

She wasn't sure if the woman had been infected with the Loyalty Gu. If she had the Loyalty Gu, forcibly sealing her acupoints could cause her to die quickly from the poison, so why bother asking?

This was a lesson she learned from the Jin Protector in Mingzhi County.

Those of slightly higher status under the Holy Maiden were all infected with a Gu worm called the Loyalty Gu. Once their internal energy was forcibly sealed or their internal injuries were severe, the Gu poison would immediately take effect.

For example, the Protector Jin, whose internal energy she had previously subdued and sealed, and the black-clad female guard under her command, both died from the backlash of the Gu worms.

When Gu Qingyue asked him to release his acupoints, Qin Fang was bewildered. Why was that?

But he still managed to release the pressure points a couple of times, and Qin Yi's longsword was immediately pressed against the woman's neck.

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched; the master and servant were quite in sync.

Seeing the commotion, Mu Yun Chu naturally came over.

He was also very curious why Gu Qingyue didn't let Qin Fang press the woman's pressure points.

Unexpectedly, just as he stood down next to Gu Qingyue, the women he had previously subdued suddenly vomited black blood and died.

Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. What happened? Poisoned?

Then, Gu Qingyue briefly mentioned the Loyalty Gu, causing everyone to gasp in surprise.

Is the Holy Maiden really that ruthless?

If you're captured by the enemy, can't you at least try to save yourself and find a way to escape?

This is... once captured by the enemy, death is certain!

This saintess is indeed ruthless beyond measure. Do you think the lives of your subordinates are so worthless?

Gu Qingyue was also deeply moved. From this, one could see that the Holy Maiden's methods of managing her subordinates were ruthless and decisive!

Suddenly, the woman next to Qin Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood and died.

Everyone:······

Didn't the acupoints stop?

Gu Qingyue went forward to check, and lo and behold! He'd taken poison!

She looked speechlessly at Mu Yun Chu and Qin Fang: "He committed suicide by poisoning himself."

Mu Yun Chu remained noncommittal. In his eyes, these people were nothing but ants, and their lives or deaths were of no importance to him.

And they deserved to die!

After that, Gu Qingyue stopped asking questions. Those who had just been subdued by them either suffered from the effects of the Gu poison or committed suicide by taking poison. She looked around disdainfully and thought, "So what?"

I'm going to die sooner or later anyway.

She will eventually find the saint!

This time, the group took the initiative to step into the gate of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers.

There were still snakes active everywhere, so Gu Qingyue thought for a moment and sprinkled some of the potent snake repellent powder she had developed on everyone's bodies.

After all, you never know where you might encounter a bunch of snakes, so it's always better to be prepared.

"Go inside and split up to search!"

Mu Yun Chu's voice wasn't loud, but she made sure everyone could hear it.

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately dispersed to different locations.

Only Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu remained.

Gu Qingyue looked up at the sky. The gyrfalcon was circling overhead. She whistled, and the gyrfalcon immediately flew away.

It's time to call people in; she's going to turn this place upside down today!

Weren't they trying to arrest me?

She is here!

Once you step into the Valley of a Thousand Flowers, it doesn't take long before the sounds of fighting fill the air.

Gu Qingyue kept her head down and didn't ask any questions. Just like the men and women at the gate just now, she went back and forth, taking down a large number of them.

But a steady stream of women in white and men in gray continued to arrive, only to become the victims of Gu Qingyue's sword.

Mu Yun Chu had been guarding a short distance from Gu Qing Yue. With his current martial arts skills, he could easily kill those people in just a few moves.

Therefore, he didn't have much time to make a move, but instead kept a close eye on Gu Qingyue's surroundings.

His most important task was to ensure Gu Qingyue's safety; nothing else mattered to him.

A quarter of an hour later, apart from Gu Qingyue and Mu Yun Chu, no one was standing in Gu Qingyue's area anymore.

Gu Qingyue sheathed her twin swords and walked with Mu Yun Chu toward the tallest wooden house in the valley.

According to Gu Qingyue's estimation, it was likely an important place, neither the Holy Maiden's residence nor an ordinary place.

Gu Qingyue released her spiritual energy as she walked.

She surveyed the entire area within her reach.

There are at least eighty or ninety men and women still alive, quite a few, but few of them are capable of fighting now.

Most of them were injured, and it was clear that most of them were attacked by a swarm of snakes.

Gu Qingyue became even more curious.

Aren't they allowed free access to the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes?

Didn't they say that a kind of incense was planted on them so that snakes wouldn't bite them?

What exactly did the little golden snake do?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyue reached into her sleeve and pulled out the little golden snake as she walked.

Actually, she took it out of her spatial storage.

However, the next moment she wanted to throw it in again.

But Mu Yun Chu has already seen it, what should we do?

The little guy had a longevity fruit in his mouth, and his current appearance... was simply indescribable.
