Baili An didn't think twice, and with a slap of his palm on the river surface, he abruptly soared into the air.
Muttering the Sword Control incantation, he stood on the Autumnwater Sword, speeding and flying away with the aid of the river's rapid currents.
He knew that even though he had recently advanced to a higher realm, he stood no chance against a terrifying corpse demon like the Shebi Corpse.
At this moment, the right thing for him to do was to take advantage of the headless corpse's distraction of the Shebi Corpse and flee this place as quickly as possible.
But other possibilities sprang to Baili An's mind.
What if!
What if the headless corpse was indeed Lin Guiyuan... What was he supposed to do then!
Would he just indifferently pass by the corpse of an old friend, allowing it to become blood mud under the Shebi Corpse's feet?
Even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, he could not take that gamble!
