Chapter 219: Storming the He Manor

"Hold on! Everyone, hold on for me!"

The city patrol guard squad leader's eyes filled with terror as he let out a loud shout.

He took out a crossbow bolt, aiming at the little wolf that had stepped on a shield‑bearing city patrol guard with one foot.

Whoosh!

The crossbow bolt in his hand shot out fiercely, but the little wolf swatted it away with a casual swipe.

The fearful city patrol guard squad leader gulped, his throat rolling as he unconsciously swallowed saliva out of terror.

He immediately wanted to turn and flee, but he discovered that the surrounding city patrol guards had, at some point, already collapsed in gruesome death!

Their chests appeared to be wounded by a sharp weapon, flesh and blood blurred!

Moreover, he suddenly noticed a gust of wind sweeping past his side.

He turned his head in horror and saw a monster with a human‑like mocking expression appear before him.

But the next moment, that feeling of shock vanished completely.

Bang!

Along with this city patrol guard squad leader's ultimate.

The twenty‑strong city patrol guard unit was completely buried here!

The three little wolves nodded to each other, then charged back against the oncoming city patrol guards from afar!

The city defense guard leader on the city tower overlooked the scene, taking in the entire battlefield within the city.

He let out a long breath, feeling relieved that he had prepared for this in advance!

The city defense guard leader took out a pitch‑black giant crossbow from his storage ring.

God‑Slaying Crossbow!

It could pose a lethal threat to a Martial Ancestor!

He calmly aimed at Gu Han, who was leaping up the steps from beneath the city tower.

He didn't understand why Gu Han, as a Martial Ancestor, didn't choose to condense his inner energy into wings and fly up to the tower.

But since the opponent was so overconfident, he would make him pay the price for his carelessness!

However, Gu Han's speed was truly too fast; it took him a long time before he finally managed to aim at Gu Han.

At the moment Gu Han leapt onto the city tower, the city defense guard leader finally pressed the trigger of his God‑Slaying Crossbow.

"Ugh‑ah!"

This scream was not uttered by Gu Han, but was the cry of the city defense guard leader who was about to fire the God‑Slaying Crossbow!

His wrist was cleanly sliced by a flying sword, his palm already fallen onto the ground of the city tower!

His attention had been entirely on Gu Han just moments before.

He hadn't noticed at all when a flying sword had approached!

He covered his wrist wound with a vicious glare, staring hatefully at Gu Han.

Without bothering to pick up his severed hand on the ground, he jumped down from beneath the city tower!

Only in this way could he have a slim chance to survive!

Hiss!

Yet the flying sword's passage would show no mercy!

In the swing of Gu Chen's finger‑sword, the flying sword pierced straight through the chest of the descending city defense guard leader.

Amid the heavy thud of landing, the city defense guard leader crashed to the ground, collapsing in a pool of blood.

On the city tower, Gu Han didn't even glance at the fleeing city defense guard leader.

He knew Gu Chen's methods.

As long as Gu Chen made a move, there would be no chance of survival for anyone below the Martial Ancestor level.

Gu Chen's flying sword slaughtered opponents with ease, even more steadily than other Martial Ancestors!

Gu Han's gaze swept coldly over the city defense guards on the tower.

Perhaps among them, some had not acted against the Gu family.

But he had no time to distinguish each one as good or bad.

As for Gu Han,

Anyone who dared to remain here at this moment was an enemy.

He casually threw a punch into the air, blasting the several city defense guards huddled together into a mist of blood!

Just then, heavy footsteps sounded from afar.

A burly man clad in heavy armor and wielding a great axe marched toward Gu Han with heavy steps.

Each of his steps seemed capable of making the entire city tower tremble slightly!

Swish!

The stalwart martial general's eyes blazed with anger as he brought down his full‑force axe upon Gu Han's head.

This axe seemed intent on splitting Gu Han in half from head to toe!

However, Gu Han merely gave a cold chuckle, and his Dawn Dragon Roar Spear appeared in his hand.

Scrape!

The Dawn Dragon Roar Spear thrust upward diagonally, emitting a clear dragon's roar.

At the moment the two weapons clashed.

The heavy armor martial general's great axe was instantly pierced starting from the blade!

Witnessing this, the heavy armor martial practitioner's eyes widened in shock as he swallowed saliva,

"How... how is this possible?"

The opponent is a Martial Sect; it's only natural that his weapon is stronger than my low-grade earth-tier weapon.

But even if the opponent wields a low-grade supreme-quality weapon.

Besides the strength gap, at most I could only knock his weapon flying!

But to pierce the great axe straight through?

Such a thing, let alone seeing it with my own eyes, even hearing about it is unheard of!

Gu Han lightly swept the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear in his hand, slapping it onto the Heavy Armor general's wrist.

The Heavy Armor general, feeling the pain, slammed his great axe heavily onto the City Tower with a bang.

Just like a heavy hammer, it made the other Survivors on the tower shudder in their hearts.

Gu Han, holding the Dawn Dragon Roar Spear, placed the spear tip before the Heavy Armor general's throat and said coldly,

"Where are the people of my Gu Family in Han Shan Cheng?"

In his eyes, the life and death of these people are not important.

He only cares about his sister and the other members of the Gu Family!

The Heavy Armor general swallowed, then spoke in a deep voice,

"Most of the people from the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce have fled, but some have already been captured and taken back to the He Manor."

"He Manor?"

Gu Han raised his eyebrows.

Before coming to Han Shan Cheng with the caravan, he naturally did his homework.

The He Family in Han Shan Cheng has always been on good terms with the Gu Family.

Although it's not exactly "you have me, I have you".

But there have not been few marriage alliances between the two families, and their mutual interests are plentiful.

That's why he felt reassured letting his sister stay in Han Shan Cheng.

Moreover, there are his elder brothers Gu Lin and Gu Jing, as well as everyone from the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce looking after her.

There shouldn't be any oversight.

But he never expected that the He Family, which shouldn't have any oversight, actually had a problem!

"Have you seen a little girl about this tall who likes to wear skirts?"

Gu Han roughly gestured to indicate Gu Pan's height, then asked in a deep voice.

However, the Heavy Armor general merely shook his head,

"I haven't seen her; perhaps she hasn't been captured yet."

Upon hearing that, Gu Han's perpetually tense emotions finally eased a little.

After the city guards confronted him, he has been constantly worried that something might have happened to his sister.

But as long as she hasn't been captured by the He Family, that's half a piece of good news.

Gu Han quickly questioned a few people and finally figured out roughly the current situation.

The He Family dispatched many troops along the route to Wu Shan Cheng, pursuing the Gu Family members, including Gu Pan.

But he never expected that even Senior Di Ying and Wang Keyan would be dragged into this.

With these two taking action, Gu Han felt somewhat more reassured.

"Gu Han, what should we do next?"

After Gu Chen dealt with all the city guards below, he came up onto the tower.

Gu Han didn't think, and couldn't be bothered to think,

"Storm the He Manor."

Gu Chen pondered briefly and then understood Gu Han's plan.

Even the Gu Family has a means to contact the Family Head and elders in critical moments.

The He Family's overall strength is greater than the Gu Family's, so naturally they would have the same method.

For them to go look for Gu Pan and the others now is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But as long as they storm the He Manor, the He Manor will inevitably summon the elders back in an emergency.

As long as Gu Pan and the others haven't been captured, they can escape danger!
