With such combat power, she was utterly defeated.

She said, "Fine, I’ll go with you."

Ever since she had arrived in this world, this issue had threaded through her entire life here; it had to be resolved eventually.

She had long grown tired of constant fear and evasion.

By resolving it once and for all, everyone could finally rest easy.

Whether in life or death, she was prepared to accept the outcome.

Yu Jizi laughed and said, "Knowing the times is wise. Since you’re so decisive, I won’t make it hard for you. Let’s go!"

He signaled for Gu Youyou to get on the horse.

Gu Youyou mounted the horse, riding up beside him.

Yu Jizi took light steps, his movements mysteriously agile, covering dozens of meters in just a few strides.

Gu Youyou spurred her horse, following after him.

Xiao Jinyan clenched his fist, a look of indignation on his face.

"Am I really this helpless? Watching him take Gu Youyou away?"

Searcy sneered at Xiao Jinyan, "You are that helpless."

With that, she took out a bamboo tube the size of a palm and urged Gui Yunxi to mount the horse with her.

Gui Yunxi was bewildered but didn’t want Gu Youyou to be taken away by the enemy either.

He pulled Searcy onto the horse, and she said, "Hurry and catch up."

Gui Yunxi replied, "Doctor Gu is willing to go with him to protect us."

Searcy urged, "I forgot to give her something, hurry and catch up."

Without saying anything more, Gui Yunxi rode hard with her, and as they were about to catch up, Searcy suddenly put the bamboo tube to her lips and blew out a white object that shot straight at Yu Jizi.

Yu Jizi frowned slightly, dodging to the side.

Gu Youyou was shocked and shouted, "Searcy, get back!"

What was she thinking? Could hidden weapons harm Yu Jizi?

This was a cheater, a freak.

But Searcy did not stop. Ignoring Gu Youyou, she swiftly blew out a second, then a third object, all of which Yu Jizi evaded with his bizarre movements.

Xiao Jinyan was astonished as he watched from behind.

What was that poison doctor trying to do? Did she think she could defeat Yu Jizi?

Even Jin Zijin was no match for him.

That’s right, what happened to Jin Zijin? He needed to find him. With Yu Jizi personally taking her, he wouldn’t blame himself for this loss, would he?

But looking at those two courting death, he just couldn’t bring himself to turn away as he started to leave.

After all, they were under his cousin’s orders to protect, and though Gu Youyou was out of options, he couldn’t let these two die here without a clue!

By then, Searcy had shot out nine darts from the bamboo tube. There were only ten in all, and now only one remained.

This last dart also missed, and was caught in Yu Jizi’s hand.

Gu Youyou’s heart skipped a beat and she said to Searcy, "What are you doing? Get away now."

After speaking, she turned to Yu Jizi and said, "She’s just a naive girl, please don’t hold it against her, senior."

Yu Jizi opened his hand and looked at the silver needle lying in his palm, his eyes growing deeper.

"To strike with a needle that seals the throat upon drawing blood, what is your relation to the Ghost Doctor?"

Gu Youyou thought to herself, ’This is bad,’ and quickly stood in front of Yu Jizi, "Senior, she is one of my disciples who has a slight understanding of the Qihuang Technique."

"A slight understanding of the Qihuang Technique?" Yu Jizi laughed heartily, "So there are still people alive, excellent, truly excellent. In that case, you can come along as well."

Searcy was furious. Just as she was about to reach into her bag for poison, she was suddenly lifted lightly by Yu Jizi, who tossed her onto Gu Youyou’s horse, and her bag fell to the ground.

It was over, all her belongings...
