Chapter 211: Slap after Slap

You dare bully Gu Xiao You's sister!

You also have to ask me whether I agree!

A furious shout came from afar.

Right after, what came flying was a ferocious blood blade that tore through the air!

The blood blade brought a fearsome power and a destructive blade intent, arriving fiercely.

Even the He Family's Seventh Elder felt his hairs stand on end!

His expression shifted slightly as he unleashed his own long spear.

The long spear swept aside, forcing back the opponent's strike.

But the Seventh Elder himself was shaken back by this blade nearly ten zhang away.

The He Family's Seventh Elder, his tiger's mouth numb, felt his pupils contract sharply.

Seeing the middle-aged man in the distance suddenly sporting blood-red wings and exuding a wild aura, the Seventh Elder instantly grew wary.

Furthermore, the Seventh Elder's face darkened as he gazed at several shadowy corners in the distance.

Though the aura there was faint, he could still sense hostile gazes.

The Seventh Elder's heart sank,

"I'm afraid it's the members of those great families, come to watch our He Family's drama!"

The He Family's turmoil has persisted for some time.

Since the moment the banquet hall was set ablaze, the various families' spies have been relaying news to their forces behind them.

And at this moment, already five or six elders from the various families have come here to watch the show in secret.

This sudden upheaval left the various forces secretly observing with a secret startle.

"This person doesn't look like a Gu Family elder."

"Looks, the waters of Wu Shan Cheng are deep too!"

Thinking this, their faces all bore mocking smiles.

They began to watch the He Family's drama!

All the families are hostile toward each other.

The worse the He Family fares, the happier they feel!

"Even the banquet hall was burned down—this He Family really is getting worse and worse!"

"Being reduced to this state on their own turf, I don't see how the He Family still has the face to claim to be one of the Six Great Families of Han Shan Cheng!"

"Heh, I think the He Family has probably kicked an iron plate today!"

"That shouldn't be the case; if the Gu Family truly had such strong power and connections, how could they be relegated to Wu Shan Cheng?"

Various strong figures secretly discussed among themselves.

But regardless of whether the He Family wins or loses today, to them it's a good thing!

Even if the He Family wins this match.

While losing face, it also gives them a chance to vie for the He Family's spirit veins!

The various strong forces in the dark know this principle, and the He Family's Seventh Elder naturally knows it too.

Gu Pan and the others who had luckily escaped the Seventh Elder's pursuit, upon seeing the arriving people, slightly relaxed.

The reinforcements were not just the middle-aged man alone; there was also a tall woman in red robes.

After the woman appeared, she immediately came to Gu Pan's side and softly comforted,

"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, the He Family's people can't do anything to you."

Gu Pan curiously looked at the woman full of goodwill toward him,

"Sister, do you know my older brother?"

The middle-aged man's loud cry of "Gu Xiao You" reached her ears.

The woman before her also appeared together with the middle-aged man; she must also know her brother.

The woman in red robes naturally is the one who once became acquainted with Gu Han through conflict.

But later they fought side by side—Wang Keyan.

Wang Keyan looked at Gu Pan almost indulgently, speaking softly,

"I am your older brother's……friend; you can call me Sister Keyan."

Feeling the goodwill conveyed by Wang Keyan,

Gu Pan obediently nodded,

"Okay, Sister Keyan."

"However," a flicker of worry passed through Gu Pan's eyes,

"These He Family people are nasty; you also need to be careful, Sister Keyan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Keyan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness,

"Which person from the He Family started this dispute?"

In Wang Keyan's eyes, Gu Han is a reasonable person.

Gu Pan is so adorable, and being his sister, she certainly wouldn't provoke trouble on her own.

Then it must be the He Family's lot of beasts who did this good deed!

Gu Pan had just about to speak when he saw...

There was a head peeking out furtively!

"Sister Keyan, that's the person!"

Wang Keyan hurriedly followed the direction of Gu Pan's pointing finger and looked.

She flicked the long whip in her hand, and with a crack it lashed out toward the distance.

He Qing had barely taken a few steps when the long whip snared him tight.

Immediately after, a tremendous force transmitted from the whip.

He Qing's pupils shrank sharply, and his body, out of control, was dragged by the whip and flung away!

Bang!

He Qing's body slammed heavily onto the ground, landing in a messy heap.

"You think you can bully our Gu Pan sister?"

Hearing the hostile voice from above, the dizzy and blurred He Qing looked up tremblingly.

He gazed at the girl who looked even younger than himself.

He Qing's heart suddenly tightened.

How could a girl so young possess such strength?

Before Gu Pan could speak, Gu Lin stepped forward and hoisted the rope‑bound He Qing up like a zongzi.

Immediately after, Gu Pan kicked He Qing hard in the armpit.

"Ah!!"

A pig‑like squeal instantly rang out on the field.

He Qing's eyes widened, his face twisted into a grimace.

"Rascal!"

Gu Pan said, then slapped He Qing hard across the face.

Slap!

The thunderous slap echoed across the field.

"Shameless wretch!"

Slap!

Another slap sent stars flashing before He Qing's eyes.

Although Gu Pan's strength was ordinary, the slap was not lethal.

But this humiliation made He Qing wish he could dig a hole and bury himself right then.

"Stop, stop hitting!"

Slap!

Slap!

Loud slaps rang out one after another on the field.

In the blink of an eye He Qing was slapped seven or eight times, his eyes instantly blood‑red, grief and fury nearly overwhelming him.

Even those hidden forces in the darkness could not bear to watch!

"Too cruel!"

Taking advantage of the pause after another slap from Gu Pan, He Qing let out a miserable howl into the air,

"Uncle Seven, save me!"

The He Family Seventh Elder, hearing this, turned an ugly shade.

Even if he held no fondness for He Qing, He Qing was the biological son of the family head.

If he stood by and watched He Qing be abused, it would be the He Family's face that would be lost!

But because he had just exchanged a move with the middle‑aged man wielding a blood‑stained blade,

the Seventh Elder had no confidence of certain victory and dared not act rashly.

He could only stare gloomily at the newcomer.

"Sir, do you truly intend to interfere in the grudge between our He Family and the Gu Family?"

The middle‑aged man was naturally Wang Keyan's foster father, Di Ying.

Since the battle at Mu Shan Cheng, after avenging his younger brother,

Di Ying has completely emerged from his former gloom.

The change in his mindset has even greatly advanced his sword intent!

Di Ying, holding the blood‑red blade, glanced lightly at the He Family Seventh Elder,

"If you want to fight, fight; why all the nonsense?"

As his words fell, Di Ying's body slipped into the gale, rushing swiftly toward the He Family Seventh Elder.

The He Family Seventh Elder saw this and his face changed dramatically,

"Do you really think I'm not your match?"

He let out a furious roar, gathered his breath, and charged forward.

The two clashed, and instantly a spectacular battle erupted in midair.

The shockwaves from the battle spread out like ripples, astonishing to behold.

On the ground, He Qing, already ashamed and furious after receiving a dozen slaps,

seeing that Gu Pan had vented most of her anger, Wang Keyan struck with a single move and knocked He Qing unconscious.

"Let's leave this place first, so we don't distract the elders and my father."
