Chapter 98

'Hiss!'

Di Ying's left wing was shot through, and he gasped a breath of cold air with a ferocious expression.

Di Ying, already near his limit, could not endure after being struck by an arrow.

His body immediately began to sway, on the verge of falling.

Even with all his strength, he could hardly maintain flight.

"Well done!"

Fury let out a furious roar, and in the blink of an eye black wings gathered behind him, flying toward Di Ying, who was about to fall in midair.

He had a black vortex swirling in his hand, and with a claw he turned toward Di Ying's throat.

Di Ying's eyes narrowed slightly; although he had anticipated that he might fall here today.

But he still did not want to give up hope of survival.

Di Ying barely controlled his single wing to dodge Fury's attacks.

"Father!"

Not far away, Wang Keyan happened to arrive just then, and her expression changed drastically.

She lashed out her long whip, but the target was not Fury, but Di Ying.

Di Ying did not expect Wang Keyan to rush back at this moment, and he immediately felt worried.

Wang Keyan, although she was his adopted daughter.

But after so many years together, Di Ying had long regarded Wang Keyan as his own biological daughter.

He, to avenge his brother, fears no danger.

But he does not want Wang Keyan to die here as well.

The long whip bound Di Ying, and Wang Keyan's wrist exerted force, swiftly pulling him over.

Di Ying did not resist, likewise using the force to accelerate his escape.

The sudden appearance of Wang Keyan disrupted Fury's rhythm, causing his attack to miss.

Fury, whose strike had missed, instantly became enraged out of embarrassment.

"A bunch of useless fools, can't even catch a little girl, all of you are good-for-nothings!"

Qiu Lin was also furious.

Two Great Martial Masters went after this Martial Master-level girl, yet she managed to circle around them and run back?

The Great Martial Masters' faces were completely lost by this group.

Qiu Lin roared at the Fury in the air,

"Fury, to avoid complications, hurry up and chase after him to kill Di Ying!"

Even without Qiu Lin's order, Fury would not let go of this fellow who killed his elder brother.

After Fury nodded, his wings flapped and he shot off at extreme speed toward the fleeing pair.

Hearing the urgent sound of tearing air, Di Ying held Wang Keyan and swiftly dodged.

"Little Yan, this place is dangerous—what are you doing here?"

Di Ying barely avoided Fury's martial technique's wind, and softly rebuked Wang Keyan.

Even now, he still could not bear to speak a harsh word to Wang Keyan.

Wang Keyan's eyes were moist.

"I worry about Father; if Father is gone, I don't know where I should go."

Looking at Wang Keyan's tearful, pear-blossom-like appearance, Di Ying let out a helpless long sigh.

Things have come to this; further words are useless.

Di Ying could only take a pill to stabilize his injury, holding Wang Keyan as they fled swiftly.

But how could the gravely injured Di Ying possibly match Fury's speed?

Just then, Wang Keyan suddenly heard a faint wolf howl from not far away.

This sound was not obvious amidst the howling wind.

But because Wang Keyan was familiar with Little Wolf's sound, she still keenly detected it.

Wang Keyan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Father, how much strength does this Martial Sect still have?"

Wang Keyan did not rashly lure Fury toward Little Wolf's direction; instead, she first asked about Fury's strength.

Gu Han, after all, came to help.

She did not want, in saving Father, to implicate Gu Han as well.

"You must absolutely not do anything foolish; even if this fellow's strength is only a tenth, he is still a Martial Sect!"

Di Ying feared that Wang Keyan intended to take a risky shortcut, and he hastily spoke in an urgent tone,

"Father knows you have extraordinary talent and also the ability to fight above your level."

"But a Martial Sect is ultimately a Martial Sect, not so easy to deal with."

He understood Wang Keyan's strength.

If Wang Keyan had reached the late stage of Great Martial Master, or even the middle stage.

He also believed Wang Keyan could cope with Fury.

At least she would not be defeated quickly.

But Wang Keyan is only a Martial Master; it's impossible for her to overcome two major realms to face a Martial Sect.

Even if this enemy is already at the end of its strength!

"Father, rest assured, I will not do anything foolish."

Now extremely critical, Wang Keyan had no time to explain too much to Di Ying.

"We have reinforcements nearby; he can kill a Great Martial Master, but it's unknown whether he can kill a Martial Ancestor in a sneak attack."

Hearing this, Di Ying was secretly astonished.

Now is the time when war has broken out at the border between the two states; how can Guan Zhen still keep a Great Martial Master inside the city?

At this moment, Di Ying thought of Zhou Kuan, who was responsible for the garrison.

But Zhou Kuan's duties are overwhelming; he couldn't possibly be here.

If Zhou Kuan were to leave and someone secretly opened the city gate, Zhou Kuan would bear the blame even if he died a hundred times!

Moreover, Zhou Kuan is a Martial Ancestor, which also doesn't match the situation Wang Keyan described.

After a moment of silence, Di Ying said,

"If he can unleash a full-force strike of a late-stage Great Martial Master, taking advantage of his unprepared state, there is hope to kill Kuang Nu!"

Kuang Nu's condition hasn't been much better than his for a long time.

Even in a sneak attack, we still have confidence in killing the opponent.

"Good!"

Wang Keyan nodded heavily and pointed in a direction.

Di Ying immediately changed direction, swiftly heading toward where Gu Han was.

Kuang Nu was currently elated over having just killed that person's elder brother; in front of him, he could only flee in disgrace.

He had never considered the possibility of an ambush.

Kuang Nu suspected nothing, like a cat toying with a mouse, and straightaway gave chase.

However, as Di Ying was going around the street, he saw Gu Han and the Flame Hound lying in ambush, and his expression instantly changed dramatically.

He had dealt with Gu Han before; Gu Han, though young, possessed high skill and great courage, leaving a deep impression on Di Ying.

In just half a month, he naturally hadn't forgotten this young person.

But precisely for that reason, Di Ying all the more did not want this young person to take risks, even to die here!

But by now, even if he wanted to speak up to stop Gu Han, it was already too late.

Doing so would only alert Kuang Nu, causing Gu Han's preparations to come to nothing!

On the other side, at the moment Kuang Nu approached the street, he noticed Di Ying's subtle change.

He immediately felt somewhat prepared.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind rose above his head.

Thick water vapor instantly condensed, forming numerous water blades that shot toward Kuang Nu.

Kuang Nu let out a cold snort,

"You still think you can sneak‑attack me with just this?"

Although he showed disdain on his lips,

but this Water Moon Abyss looks tremendously imposing.

Even Kuang Nu could not afford to be careless; he had to respond cautiously.

He suddenly smashed a hammer toward the air.

The powerful hammer wind shattered all the water blades into falling rain.

But at the same time, even Kuang Nu, whose mind was clouded by anger, finally realized something was off.

These water blades are too weak; they pose essentially no threat to him.

Pure Yang Demon‑Suppressing Finger!

Flame Roar!

Gu Han and the Flame Hound's left‑right pincer attack struck simultaneously.

The Flame Hound's roar, the Flame Roar, plunged the panicked Kuang Nu into a momentary stupor.

Immediately after, a milky‑white Pure Yang Demon‑Suppressing Finger pierced through Kuang Nu's shoulder.
