Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Episode 16 Recap
> Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre Recap
Zhang Wuji heard Ding Minjun call out Zhou Zhiruo's name, he was stunned, never expecting that the person in front of him was the Zhou Zhiruo he had been thinking about day and night. But he didn't dare to step forward and acknowledge her, worried that Abbess Miejue would force him to reveal the whereabouts of his adoptive father, Xie Xun. Before Zhang Wuji could react, Ding Minjun and Zhou Zhiruo had already rushed in front of him.
Zhang Wuji supported Yin Li's back and used his Nine Yang Skill to transfer internal energy to her, knocking Ding Minjun to the ground with a few punches and kicks. Zhou Zhiruo fought back, but Zhang Wuji couldn't bear to hurt her. Yin Li was injured, and Zhou Zhiruo took the opportunity to rescue Ding Minjun. Zhang Wuji took great care of Yin Li, and Yin Li gradually woke up.
She never expected Zhang Wuji's internal energy to be so profound, and couldn't help but complain that he shouldn't have shown mercy to Ding Minjun and the others. But Zhang Wuji didn't want to kill anyone. Yin Li cursed him as a hopeless softie. Zhang Wuji increasingly felt that the way she spoke was very similar to his mother. Yin Li couldn't help but think of her own tragically deceased mother, and told Zhang Wuji about her past.
Yin Li's father was a womanizer and disliked that her mother hadn't given birth to a son, so he married a cruel stepmother. Yin Li, in a fit of anger, killed the stepmother. The father, in a fit of pique, wanted to kill them, mother and daughter. The mother committed suicide, and Yin Li took the opportunity to escape. Zhang Wuji and Yin Li felt a deep connection with each other.
Yin Li felt that Zhang Wuji deliberately let Zhou Zhiruo go because he coveted her beauty, and Zhang Wuji tried to explain himself in every possible way. Yin Li worried that Abbess Miejue wouldn't let the matter rest, and decided to leave with Zhang Wuji. She quickly made a raft out of branches and wooden sticks, and had Zhang Wuji lie on it. Yin Li pulled him away from the thatched hut with a rope.
At night, Zhang Wuji woke up and found Yin Li taking out a large spider and applying its venom to her hands to practice her skills. Yin Li noticed Zhang Wuji watching her, and secretly put the big spider on him. Zhang Wuji was so frightened that he screamed. Yin Li claimed that she was using the spider's venom to practice her mother's unique skill, the Thousand Spider and Myriad Poison Hand.
The deeper her skill, the deeper the venomous sores on her face would become, but she would rather sacrifice her beauty to master this skill. Zhang Wuji was worried that she would become possessed, and advised her to find a skill that could be practiced without harming her beauty. Yin Li didn't care about any of that. Zhang Wuji felt that although her appearance was ugly, her heart was kind, and he was willing to be with her forever.
Yin Li was deeply moved, but her heart only belonged to Zhang Wuji, the short-lived ghost from her childhood. Zhang Wuji and Yin Li depended on each other, taking care of each other and caring for each other. The days passed peacefully and warmly. Abbess Miejue suddenly led her disciples to their residence. Yin Li hurriedly hid Zhang Wuji, and came out alone to meet Abbess Miejue. Ding Minjun angrily yelled that she wanted to kill Yin Li.
Yin Li mocked her, and even asked Abbess Miejue to expel Ding Minjun from the sect. Ding Minjun, in a fit of anger, knocked Yin Li to the ground. Abbess Miejue immediately sent people into the house to search for her accomplice, but to no avail. Just as Abbess Miejue was about to kill Yin Li with a palm strike, Zhang Wuji struggled to crawl out to defend Yin Li. Zhou Zhiruo also pleaded for Yin Li.
Zhang Wuji threatened that once his leg injury healed, he would expose Abbess Miejue's conspiracy and eradicate the Emei Sect. Abbess Miejue was completely enraged, but she didn't want to take advantage of someone's vulnerability, feeling that it would be an unchivalrous victory, and immediately decided to take Yin Li and Zhang Wuji back with her. Yin Li pulled Zhang Wuji on the raft, exhausted but unwilling to stop.
Zhang Wuji suggested to Abbess Miejue that they rest for a while, and used his Nine Yang Skill to clear Yin Li's meridians. Just as Zhou Zhiruo was about to bring a steamed bun to Yin Li, Ding Minjun snatched it away. Yin Li insulted Ding Minjun, and was beaten by Ding Minjun. Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly persuaded Ding Minjun to leave, and brought steamed buns to Yin Li and Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji thanked Zhou Zhiruo for her kindness.
Yin Li mistakenly thought he was lecherous, and snatched his steamed bun in a fit of pique. Zhang Wuji hurriedly explained that he wanted to please Zhou Zhiruo so that he could find an opportunity to escape later. On the way, Abbess Miejue noticed something ahead, and told everyone to quickly hide in the forest. Sure enough, three people rode past on horseback. Abbess Miejue knocked the three horses down with pebbles, and the three people fell to the ground.
One of them used a dagger to break open a cage on the horse, and carrier pigeons fluttered out. Abbess Miejue killed two carrier pigeons with pebbles, but one of them managed to fly away. Zhou Zhiruo took out the note from the carrier pigeon, which was a secret letter to the Tianying Sect, reporting the news that the six major sects were going to besiege Bright Peak.
Abbess Miejue forced the three people to confess their accomplices, but they all committed suicide by taking poison. Ding Minjun told Jingxuan and Jinghui to search their bodies. Jingxuan was unfortunately injured by the poison on one of the dead men. The venom quickly entered her bloodstream, and Abbess Miejue could only seal Jingxuan's acupoints. If an antidote was not found in time, her life would be in danger. Zhang Wuji volunteered to help Jingxuan dispel the poison.
He recognized the poison as Prickly Poison Ivy, and used acupuncture to treat Jingxuan. Zhang Wuji temporarily saved Jingxuan's life, but they had to find Clear Heart Returning Soul Grass to completely dispel the poison. Abbess Miejue sent Zhou Zhiruo to the mountain with Zhang Wuji to gather the herbs. Zhang Wuji took Zhou Zhiruo to the foot of the mountain.
He wanted to acknowledge Zhou Zhiruo, but worried that Abbess Miejue would force him to reveal Xie Xun's whereabouts, so he had to restrain himself for the time being. Zhang Wuji quickly found the Clear Heart Returning Soul Grass, but it grew on a cliff. Zhou Zhiruo used her lightness skill to fly up, and used her sword to support herself in the cracks of the cliff.
Zhou Zhiruo used all her strength to reach the Clear Heart Returning Soul Grass, but the sword suddenly came loose. Seeing Zhou Zhiruo about to fall, Zhang Wuji rushed up to catch her without regard for his own safety. Zhou Zhiruo saw through his pretense of being injured, and forced him with her sword. Zhang Wuji had no choice but to reveal his true identity, and took out the handkerchief he had embroidered back then. Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed.
