In the pouring rain, Qin Xinglie was soaked all over, hanging on the cliff with one hand, shouting Gu Zhao's name hoarsely.

He had been to this cliff before, when he followed Gu Zhao to find the Eight Gong treasure, so Qin Xinglie knew that if Gu Zhao fell from such a height... there would be almost no chance of survival.

The toxins controlled by the imperial doctors in the chest and abdomen were ignited by anger and surged towards Qin Xinglie's limbs and bones again.

The familiar pain came fiercely, but what was more unbearable than the physical pain was the infinite fear and darkness in my heart.

Qin Xinglie felt his body losing control inch by inch, and finally roared unwillingly, let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand, and fell downwards on the same rainy night.

The whole world suddenly became as silent as death. The sound of wind, thunder, rain and anxious shouts on the edge of the cliff all disappeared like the ebbing sea water.

Only large raindrops reflected in his eyes, slowly filling the entire sky and earth.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Qin Xinglie's body hit the branches protruding from the side of the cliff one after another, and finally hung on the tree.

The heavy impact caused him to continuously vomit blood from his mouth, which splattered on the cliff.

The soaked cloak was pierced by the branches. Qin Xinglie was hanging on the tree, his limbs were limp and drooping, his long hair was disheveled, and his eyes were distracted. He looked like a broken doll.

The face behind the mask was wet, I don't know whether it was rain or tears.

"Ah Zhao, Ah Zhao." His voice was as weak as a flame about to be extinguished in the wind, "Are you blaming me?"

Gu Zhao's face falling upward appeared in front of Qin Xinglie again.

"You didn't even ask me to save you. Did you know that I would save her first?"

"You would rather risk your own life in a sneak attack than call me, is it because you don't believe that I will put you in front of her?"

"Azhao, it was me who harmed you."

"If I hadn't given her hope, how could she have the courage to attack you."

"Azhao, you are so smart, you will definitely find opportunities to protect yourself..." Qin Xinglie suddenly remembered something, "Maybe you are waiting under the cliff now for me to save you!"

He suddenly cheered up, with his halberd finger like a knife, he slashed his back, tearing the cloak hanging on the branch, and jumped up.

The movement was too big, and his chest suddenly hurt. Qin Xinglie spurted another mouthful of blood on the mask.

But at this time, he didn't care about any of this at all.

This is the last chance, Gu Zhao's last chance to live!

Qin Xinglie was originally able to see in the dark, but tonight there was heavy wind and rain, which greatly affected his vision, so he could only carefully climb to the end of the branch, hold on to the cliff with both hands and climb down.

The rocks were hard, but fortunately the soil became much softer after being wetted. He tested it bit by bit, alternately digging at the cliff wall with both hands, and slowly moved downwards.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Qin Xinglie couldn't open his eyes, but he still didn't give up.

When he thought that Gu Zhao might be lying on the ground under the cliff in the rain, enduring the pain, alone and helpless, he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

The moment he arrived earlier, Gu Zhao had a greater chance of surviving.

Thinking about it like this, Qin Xinglie seemed to see the scene of Gu Zhao lying on the ground waiting for him to come. Even though his whole body was in severe pain like Ling Chi, and even though his mouth kept vomiting blood, he never stopped groping downward.

I don't know how long it took, but someone next to him grabbed his arm and shouted in his ear, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Qin Xinglie turned his head blankly and could only vaguely see a face that he seemed to have seen before. That face was full of anxiety.

He slowly turned his head and murmured, "Ah Zhao, don't be afraid, wait for me..."

The man grabbed his arm hard and said in a crying voice, "Your Majesty! Wake up!"

Qin Xinglie ignored him at all, just took out his arm and continued to climb down.

"Ah Zhao must be very cold and scared. She is waiting for me. I have to save her." Qin Xinglie told himself.

After finally finding the long rope, Du Pinggu and several soldiers of the death-seeking army watched helplessly as their prince, who was killing people like mowing grass, just grabbed the cliff with his fingers and moved down little by little. They couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My lord, you can't go on like this, your hands are going to be useless!"

Lightning illuminated the mountain forest again, and the soldiers on the other side of Qin Xinglie cried and shouted.

He hugged Qin Xinglie's arm and burst into tears.

He could see clearly just now that all ten of Qin Xinglie's fingers were dripping with blood, and the bones on his fingertips were exposed. If this continues, how will Qin Xinglie use the sword and fight!

Du Pinggu hugged Qin Xinglie's other arm from the other side, and other soldiers also hugged his waist and legs.

"Your Majesty, there is a valley below. If the rain is so heavy, the water will inevitably rise. It will be too dangerous for you to go down."

Qin Xinglie's mouth continued to ooze blood, but his tone of voice was a bit cheerful, "If there is water down there, Azhao's hope of survival will be greater."

"She must be waiting for me. I have to hurry up and not leave her alone."

Du Pinggu, who always had an expressionless face, couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Qin Xinglie's appearance. "My lord, Mr. Gu is so smart, he must have swam out with the water."

"You can't find her if you go down now."

"I think we should go up and then go downstream to pick her up. We will take the best imperial doctor and take Master Gu back to the palace to recover from her injuries."

The poison invaded Qin Xinglie's brain, and for a moment he felt that what this man said made sense.

Seeing that he stopped climbing down, Du Pinggu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked his companions to hug Qin Xinglie's body and pull the rope to send the code.

Jiang Yuan, who was guarding the edge of the cliff, was overjoyed and quickly asked someone to pull them up.
