Chapter 159: with translation of chapter title

"Looking for death!"

Jiang Tianyi angrily looked in the direction Gu Han and the other fled, and immediately gave chase.

The reason he did not choose to act at the first moment.

Besides maintaining his status, he also wanted to see who it was that Old Li valued so highly.

He would not hesitate to ask him to act, and would use his superiority to bully a junior like Gu Han.

But even though Jiang Tianyi had prepared beforehand, he was still shocked by the strength Gu Han displayed.

The Deputy General killed by Gu Han could only be considered mid-to-low among Zhong Cheng's Deputy Generals.

But even being mid-to-low, he is still a Martial Ancestor!

A Martial Ancestor who only thinks of self-preservation is not so easy to kill!

Gu Han's displayed strength could be described as an instant kill without exaggeration!

Since such a person has already become an enemy, we absolutely cannot let him escape alive!

Otherwise, he will surely become a serious future threat, even a nightmare!

Therefore, Jiang Tianyi can no longer worry about maintaining his status and must choose to act against Gu Han!

On the streets of Zhong Cheng.

Although Gu Han and Bai Feng had already chosen to flee a step ahead before Jiang Tianyi reacted.

But Jiang Tianyi, after all, is a Martial Venerable of many years, with astonishing strength.

When he erupted with full power, his airborne flight produced a piercing wind-breaking sound, quickly closing the distance with Gu Han.

"Gu General, why don't you use a flight martial technique?"

After Bai Feng spread his wings and flew, he stared in astonishment at Gu Han, whose legs left afterimages as he ran.

Flying is, no matter how, faster than running, right?

But Gu Han shouted without looking back,

"Cut the nonsense, hurry up and run!"

Gu Han after all has the foundation of multiple accumulations of the Ten Realms.

Even if he hasn't yet learned flight martial techniques, his fleeing speed won't be much slower than that of a flying Martial Venerable.

On the contrary, the wing-spread Bai Feng was left far behind by Gu Han.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Tianyi was about to catch up to Bai Feng.

But trying to catch up to Gu Han seemed hopelessly distant.

Gu Han's fleeing speed even surprised a Martial Venerable like Jiang Tianyi.

"Since you two are so close."

Jiang Tianyi gazed darkly at the approaching Bai Feng and let out a cold laugh,

"Then I'll capture you first; I want to see whether Gu Han will come to rescue you!"

Jiang Tianyi's Qi Blood formed a hand several zhang large, tearing the air as it fiercely grabbed toward Bai Feng.

Bai Feng's face changed dramatically, his arms suddenly swelling.

He turned, exerting all his strength to launch the Black Iron Mystic Spear like a javelin, shooting it out explosively.

Crack!

The powerful force shattered the blood hand instantly, hindering Jiang Tianyi's movements for a moment.

But Bai Feng's aura also visibly waned.

"No wonder it's the foundation for the Bai family's resurgence."

A flash of admiration passed through Jiang Tianyi's eyes.

Even though they are on bad terms, he cannot help but acknowledge Bai Feng's strength.

A Martial Venerable possesses a suppressing power over a Martial Ancestor that can be called overwhelming.

If it were Zhao Dezhen in Bai Feng's position,

even if he went all out, it would be impossible to shatter his blood hand.

But precisely for that reason, Jiang Tianyi's killing intent grew stronger.

He rushed toward the pallid Bai Feng, extending another blood hand.

This was merely a casual attack of his.

Bai Feng being able to block it once does not mean he can block it a second time.

However, at that moment, a purple feathered arrow suddenly came from afar, tearing through the air.

The terrifying power carried on the arrow stirred up a fierce gale, which collided violently with the blood hand.

The terrifying energy shockwave sent Bai Feng flying backward, vomiting blood.

Gu Han quickly returned with Flowing Cloud Steps, caught the falling Bai Feng, and continued fleeing.

Jiang Tianyi's eyes turned ferocious; he never expected Gu Han to turn back midway!

The enraged Jiang Tianyi continued the pursuit, meanwhile taking out a Sound Transmission Token and speaking coldly,

"All city gates stop inspection, close the gates, and strictly forbid anyone from entering or leaving."

The Chengzhu Fu's Sound Transmission Token can reach the four city gates of Zhong Cheng.

The city guards, upon receiving the message, immediately drove away those wanting to leave the city, and simultaneously shut the heavy Zhong Cheng city gate.

Gu Han and Bai Feng were still unaware that Zhong Cheng's main gate had been closed, and continued to sprint wildly toward the southern gate.

Bai Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood, weakly looked at Gu Han, and softly said,

"Gu General, put me down; bringing me along will likely prevent even your own escape."

Gu Han shook his head, his gaze firm.

You didn't need to meddle in the grudge between me and Jiang Tianyi.

But since you disregard danger and speak up for justice, if I were to abandon you now, I couldn't get past this hurdle in my heart.

I could see the sound wave of the gale kicked up by City Lord Jiang Tianyi drawing ever nearer.

Just then, several figures with strong auras suddenly appeared in the night sky.

Father!

Bai Feng looked excitedly at the leading towering figure, his gaze shifting.

That figure, with his back to Bai Feng, said lightly,

You go first; I, as your father, will hold the rear.

Having said that, five strong experts burst forth with aura, pressuring Jiang Tianyi!

Gu Han never expected the Bai family would not choose to sacrifice the minor to save the major.

Instead, they chose to protect Bai Feng, even at the risk of offending Jiang Tianyi!

He knew this was no time for sentiment, and he could not disappoint the Bai family's goodwill.

Gu Han thus took Bai Feng and hurried toward the southern gate without looking back.

Jiang Tianyi stopped his pursuit, his gaze icy as he looked at Bai Feng's father.

The current head of the Bai family: Bai Henan.

Bai Henan, are you planning to overthrow your superiors?

Within Jiang Tianyi's icy words lay a bone-chilling killing intent.

Bai Henan, however, gave a light smile,

City Lord must have misunderstood me; I merely wish to play a game of chess with you, City Lord.

With a flick of his sleeve, a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces flew out, hovering between them.

Jiang Tianyi's right hand trembled, and in the blink of an eye he shattered the chessboard and pieces into dust!

Head of the Bai family, your Bai clan has only with great difficulty developed to this point, being a top-tier clan in Zhong Cheng.

Jiang Tianyi narrowed his eyes and said coldly,

I hope you don't mistake yourself, ruining your family's future for the sake of a junior.

He knew Bai Henan had more than just Bai Feng as a son.

For a cold-blooded clan, family interests outweigh everything.

As long as it's for the family, even the head's eldest son is not beyond being abandoned.

But Bai Henan merely shook his head with a calm gaze,

My Bai family has no habit of abandoning our juniors.

If the City Lord insists on acting, then step over my corpse!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianyi exploded in rage, his eyes filled with bone-chilling killing intent,

I see you're refusing a toast and will be forced to drink the penalty!

Jiang Tianyi's father was once a marquis of Ben Lang Guo.

Although he inherited the title, he was demoted from marquis to viscount.

This Zhong Cheng is his fief.

But the clans, with the Bai family at their forefront, constantly claimed to consider the people and repeatedly opposed his policies.

Jiang Tianyi had long been dissatisfied with the Bai family.

At this moment, seeing Bai Henan insist on blocking him, he immediately erupted with a mighty aura and launched a fierce attack.

In a moment, he subdued Bai Henan, who was also a Martial Sovereign!
