Chapter 1309 - 408: Seeking Your Own Death, Fear Not_4
Once everyone retreated onto the mountain trail and their safety was ensured, Weiya honored her promise by releasing Mo Yan. Just as Mo Yan walked back cautiously along the mountain path, Weiya lit the fuse on the rock wall.
The power of gunpowder should never be underestimated, as the explosion had the potential to completely destroy the mountain trail, making it impossible for Xiao Ruiyuan and his men to pursue. In this way, the Uto people would be completely safe.
Seeing Weiya’s action, Xiao Ruiyuan’s expression changed drastically, and without heeding the Hidden guards’ attempts to stop him, he rushed onto the mountain trail. He took Mo Yan’s hand and held her close to him as they retreated, "Yanyan, don’t be afraid."
"Yeah, I’m not afraid!" Mo Yan’s heart warmed, and she clung tightly to Xiao Ruiyuan’s hand as she quickly stepped away under his protection.
Just as the two reached a safe distance, a thunderous explosion erupted behind them, sending a burst of flames into the sky and startling countless birds from the trees.
The narrow mountain path instantly had a gap of several feet blasted into it. Even with Xiao Ruiyuan’s peerless martial arts, there was no way he could fly to the other side to pursue the Uto people.
Weiya looked proudly at her handiwork and shouted to Xiao Ruiyuan, who was holding Mo Yan across the gap, "Thank you for your assistance this time, Great General. I will definitely report to the Monarch and credit you with this merit. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again."
Hearing Weiya’s shout, Xiao Ruiyuan looked up at her with an expression as if he were looking at a dead person and a cold, cruel smile emerged at the corner of his mouth.
